I stood frozen in place, as if plunged into an ice cellar. The soldier before me was clearly infected with the virus, yet he remained conscious and rational. His eyes held no trace of madness or confusion; instead, they reflected an inexplicable sorrow.
"Doctor, I know my time is short," the soldier said with a bitter smile, his voice hoarse. "Before I leave this world, I want to tell you everything."
"Everything about what?" I swallowed hard, my palms sweating.
"The truth about this plague, the secrets of this shelter." A flicker of determination crossed his eyes. "I can no longer remain silent. This world needs the truth."
I held my breath, watching him anxiously. The soldier straightened up, took a deep breath, and spoke in a halting manner: "In fact, this plague did not break out by chance; it is a carefully orchestrated conspiracy by GH Company."
"GH Company? The world’s leading pharmaceutical giant?" I frowned. The name of GH Company was well-known; they monopolized 60% of the global pharmaceutical market, raking in profits in the hundreds of billions annually. Yet they had always prided themselves on "keeping humanity free from disease." How could they possibly create a virus?
"Exactly. They appear virtuous but are truly wolves in sheep's clothing," the soldier scoffed. "For decades, GH has secretly been researching biological weapons, aiming to dominate the world through them. What they released this time is their latest creation: the Apocalypse Virus."
"How is that even possible..." I stared at him in disbelief. How could a commercial empire engage in such madness?
"For their own selfish desires, they've gone insane," the soldier coughed a few times, his face pale. "This virus only infects ordinary people but is immune to the company's executives and shareholders. Once most of humanity is wiped out, they can take over and become the new rulers of this planet. As for us experimental subjects, we are merely puppets in their hands."
I closed my eyes in despair, feeling as if the world was spinning around me.
It turned out that humanity could fall to such depths, willing to destroy the entire world for personal desires. And we were merely insignificant pawns in this game. As I thought about this, my fists involuntarily clenched, my nails digging deep into my palms.
"This is all thanks to that person," the soldier said with great difficulty, raising his hand to point outside. "Without his help, GH would never succeed."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Who else could it be? It’s the highest leader of this shelter, Claire Colonel!"
"What?!" I couldn't believe my ears. Hadn't Claire Colonel always been protecting us? How could he be an accomplice?
"Because he is one of GH Company’s people," the soldier replied. "Decades ago, he was already bought off by the company, becoming their agent within the military. This shelter, along with the soldiers stationed here, was all established by him. In a sense, we are all his prisoners."
I slumped into the chair, feeling as if the world was spinning around me. Just then, the door to the Medical Room burst open with a loud bang, and Claire Colonel stormed in with several fully armed soldiers.
"You heard everything?" Claire's face was grim as his gaze swept between me and the soldier on the bed.
