"Old Wang!" Assistant Zhang was unhappy.
"Forget it, everyone's lives matter."
Lao Wang waved his hand, then he took off his protective clothing and mask, walked to the door and made an inviting gesture.
The group of people followed Lao Wang and turned left and right in the huge experimental base, and finally came to a huge iron gate.
This is an extremely important place at first glance. Even the lock on the door is of the same level as a bank vault.
"This is it," Lao Wang stopped in front of the gate, then turned to look at everyone and said, "Can I ask how you know this place?"
"Someone sent a distress signal to the Xiangcheng base, saying that there are more than 600 survivors here," Li Xu explained the cause and effect.
"So you are the rescue team." Lao Wang looked surprised.
"You knew we were coming?" Li Xu was a little surprised.
"Yeah, I know, because I was the one who sent the rescue signal!"
A wry smile appeared on Lao Wang's face and he said, "I had given up hope. The distress signal was sent out more than a month ago. I thought you wouldn't come."
Li Xu didn't know what he was talking about. They received this task just the day before yesterday, and it was very timely to come today.
"Don't embarrass those young people, they actually don't know anything."
As Lao Wang spoke, he entered his fingerprint and password on the LCD screen.
The huge iron doors slid to both sides silently. He had just stepped one foot in, and then turned to look at them: "You are too late."
One month is enough time for too many changes to occur.
Lao Wang sighed, turned around and walked into the door.
As the incandescent lights on the roof lit up row by row, everyone finally saw clearly what was going on inside.
This is a huge warehouse, with a space ten meters high and evenly divided into two halves from the middle.
The left half is full of various glass containers, each with a body inside. They are soaked in liquids of different colors. Only a few of them look complete, most of them only have part of them, and there are even some. The human body's organs have undergone serious mutations, and they no longer look like humans at all.
Everyone just glanced at it and couldn't help but want to look away.
"Are these all experimental subjects?" Lei Min covered his mouth in surprise.
"Yes, these are the survivors you are looking for. Except for the one just now, the other 627 are all here!"
Lao Wang's tone sounded light and airy, but the words he spoke were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's hearts hard.
"What about these?" Lei Min pointed to the right and said.
Like the left, there are rows of glass containers on the right, but most of them have no liquid in them.
"Those on the right are still alive for now."
Lao Wang said as he walked to the first container on the right and waved to a little boy inside.
The little boy seemed very happy to see him coming. He curled his fingers and gently tapped the wall of the container to say hello.
"This child's name is Xiaonan, and he is the smallest experimental subject here."
Lao Wang continued to move forward and came to the next glass container, "He also has a sister named Xiaoxi, who is three years older than him."
Unlike Xiaonan, this girl named Xiaoxi was covered with all kinds of tubes, and her whole body was as light as a piece of paper. Except for the huge head and slightly protruding belly, there is no extra flesh on the whole body, just like a panting mummy.
They didn't know how people could survive in this state, but when they saw the rows of densely packed glass containers behind Xiao Xi, everyone couldn't help but feel numb.
In addition to the siblings Xiaoxi and Xiaonan, there is also a pair of twin brothers not far away. They are locked in a huge container at the same time. The limbs of both of them are extremely developed, and the muscles on their bodies are exaggerated to an unimaginable degree. From a distance, they look like two small mountains of meat.
I saw someone coming,
The two of them showed a friendly smile at the same time, and even their movements and expressions were almost exactly the same.
But in less than a second, the two brothers suddenly screamed at each other. Just when they were about to pounce and tear them apart, a partition was lowered in the middle of the container on time, completely separating the two.
"No pair of twins has a better understanding than these two. They have such a tacit understanding that it's like they share the same brain. If they were put outside, they would definitely be two killers."
Lao Wang looked at the two brothers and said expressionlessly: "It's a pity that they can't see each other happy."
"Is it just because they can't see each other? I think they all want to kill each other." Lei Min curled his lips and muttered.
Lao Wang glanced at her and didn't say anything, but continued to introduce the others to everyone.
"This girl was once an extremely talented dancer, and her body was more flexible than anyone else." Lao Wang said, pointing to the next glass container.
This is a double-layered container, with a larger glass cover inside a smaller glass cover. A girl was locked inside, her body folded together like a piece of clothing, and even her head was squeezed into a flat piece.
"Do you know why we are doing this? Because she will run away."
Later, Lao Wang pointed to the pipe above the glass container and said: "Do you know octopus? She is just like an octopus. As long as there is a little gap, she can find a way to get out. She has tried to escape 6 times before."
The girl's deformed face made people shudder. She bared her teeth and grinned, deliberately making all kinds of scary faces at them.
Everyone looked at her and couldn't help but ask themselves: Can this still be considered a human being?
"What experiment are you doing?" Looking at these strange creatures, Lei Min couldn't help but grabbed Lao Wang.
"Didn't you all see that there are zombies on one side and superpowers on the other?"
"You call these superpowers?" Lei Min pointed at the large and small glass jars on the right and said angrily.
"Of course I can't compare with you. You are the winners of this catastrophe. You are the superior breeds selected by genetic mutation." Lao Wang laughed sarcastically.
"Gene mutation?" This was the first time that everyone had heard of such an argument. Although Lin Qingqing had some vague guesses in her mind, she didn't expect that scientists had found definite evidence so early.
"Yes, we at Aisen Biotechnology specialize in studying biological genes. We have the world's most authoritative experts and the most advanced equipment here. We already have solid theoretical basis to prove that the so-called doomsday is indeed a global genetic mutation. .”
Lao Wang spoke very seriously. Different from the numbness and decadence before, there was a deep and wise light shining in his eyes at this moment.
"Then you can't conduct such experiments on living people!" After hearing what he said, Lei Min still felt sulky in his heart.
"So what? You can't even imagine how difficult it is for ordinary people to survive in the apocalypse!"
Lao Wang suddenly became excited: "The zombies outside are getting more and more powerful. The total number of naturally awakened superpowers is less than 20% of all human beings. How can you let the remaining 80% of ordinary people survive?"
"But is this the reason why they became like this? You actually said they are... volunteers!" Lei Min clenched her fists and yelled at Lao Wang. She could not agree with such remarks at all.
"We really always thought they were volunteers, including me, I used to think so too." Hearing the young girl's question, Lao Wang became decadent again.
"You want to say that you were actually deceived? Then one day after that, you suddenly realized the truth, and then you couldn't bear the condemnation of your conscience, so you secretly sent a distress signal to the base?" At this time, Lin Qingqing suddenly snorted. Said one voice.
This is indeed the case. Lao Wang neither admitted nor refuted it. In fact, he was extremely conflicted in his heart.
Seeing Lao Wang and these experimental subjects, Lin Qingqing felt an unknown anger burning in her heart.
"You keep saying it's because
All of humanity, but is that really the case? Turning ordinary people into this kind of inhuman and ghostly appearance is just to allow human beings to survive better? "
"Don't kid yourself, this is just a reason you are looking for to satisfy your own ambitions and greed."
"No, this is all for the truth. For the truth, it is inevitable to make some necessary sacrifices..." Lao Wang murmured in defense.
"Necessary sacrifices? Are these what you call necessary sacrifices?" Lin Qingqing grabbed Lao Wang by the collar and knocked him against the glass container next to him.
Looking at the half-dead experimental subject in the container, Lao Wang closed his eyes in pain.
"Captain!" Seeing Lao Wang's face getting more and more purple, Lei Min and Qu Xingchi quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Do you think what I said is wrong?"
Lin Qingqing looked at her team members, and Lei and Min suddenly stopped talking.
"What about Captain Li? Do you think so too?"
Seeing Lin Qingqing mentioning himself, Li Xu calmed down and said, "It's not up to you or me to decide what fate they should have. We just have to complete the mission. As for the outcome, I believe the base leaders will make the right judgment."
"Hmph~ You are a sensible person."
Lin Qingqing threw Lao Wang aside, then looked at him and said again: "Then what does Captain Li plan to do?"
Lao Wang's words have confirmed that these experimental subjects and zombies are the survivors they are looking for. Now that the rescue target is in front of them, what should they do?
"The zombies on the left are dealt with on the spot, and the experiments that are still alive...all the survivors are brought back to the base," Li Xu said without thinking.
"Take it away? Pack it together with these containers?"
When asked by Lin Qingqing, Li Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he turned to look at Lao Wang.
"No, they can't leave here!" Lao Wang shook his head desperately.
These experimental subjects rely on the equipment here to continue to live, so they can't just move them at will.
