Chapter 953 Underground Laboratory

The route to the underground laboratory did not change much. Following the instructions on the map, Qi Lin and Lucas quickly found an elevator that went deeper underground.

The elevator, like the door to the external passage, only needs to be opened by swiping the card, and there are no other verification steps.

As the depth number on the display screen continued to increase, the elevator quickly descended toward the depths of the ground.

The PROM Foundation's laboratory is located on the fourth floor underground. The number on the screen stopped after turning to 65, and the elevator doors slowly slid open to both sides.

"arrive."

Qi Lin and Lucas looked at each other and then walked out first.

At first glance, the design style of the foyer is quite similar to that of Base 404. Both the walls and ceiling are made of silver metal plates that have been atomized, which is full of futuristic sci-fi atmosphere, but the floor under your feet is Paved with a kind of jade marble, the two brass lamps placed in the corner of the foyer can definitely be regarded as rare works of art.

Although these are two completely opposite styles, when the brief modern technological style and the luxurious classical art style merge with each other, the sense of incompatibility and conflict suddenly disappears - obviously, the atmosphere of this underground laboratory The designer has very high attainments in art.

But this is not what Qi Lin needs to be concerned about. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, his eyes first glanced at several corners of the ceiling - to his surprise, not only was there no one in the foyer, Guards, he didn't even see the surveillance cameras everywhere in the shelter.

With the eyesight after turning on the eagle eye, Qi Lin can find even a pinhole camera hidden behind a small hole with a diameter of several millimeters, but the fact is that... there is indeed no one installed in this foyer. Camera.

However, while looking for the camera, Qi Lin discovered that there were a few drops of dried and black blood on the ceiling. These blood stains seemed to have been sprayed on it - wanting to make human blood splash six meters above the ground. At such a high place, based on the normal blood pressure of the human body, I am afraid that it would be possible to cut through several major arteries.

Qi Lin didn't know what had happened here, but there must be a reason why the mastermind didn't install a camera here... and the most likely reason was to keep it secret.

There are too many secrets hidden in this laboratory, and some secrets are not allowed to be recorded, whether in the form of paper documents or electronic data.

Passing through the foyer is a straight corridor. There are air-tight doors every ten meters on both sides of the corridor. However, what makes Qi Lin feel a little headache is that these air-tight doors cannot be opened by just swiping a card like before. There were fingerprint readers installed next to the locks, which gave him a headache.

For this kind of password system that requires fingerprint or iris recognition, Qi Lin had never thought of cutting off the researcher's fingers and gouging out his eyes before... But at that time, time was too tight, and Qi Lin didn't have anything The method can preserve the "parts" removed from the corpse, so I gave up the idea.

But the question now is how can they open the airtight door of the laboratory...

At this moment, an airtight door in the middle of the corridor was suddenly opened from the inside. A tall researcher in a white coat walked out. When he saw Qi Lin and Lucas, he said: " Knox, why did you get here? You wasted a full twenty minutes of our team's time. You have to know that even with continuous oxygen supply, the experimental subject's nerve cells only have more than an hour after the body dies. life……"

The chattering researcher immediately stopped talking after making eye contact with Qi Lin. The next second, his hand had already reached into the pocket of his white coat——

"You're not Knox! Who are you-"

Before he could finish his words, Qi Lin had already taken out his gun and opened a hole the size of a washbasin in his chest, spraying a large area of ​​minced meat and plasma.

"You're exposed, just rush in!"

Qi Lin whispered to Lucas, stepped over the corpse on the ground, and rushed into the laboratory!

There were only three researchers in the laboratory. Before they could realize what was happening, Qi Lin called them out one by one with the Gauss pistol. With the power of the Gauss pistol, even light powered armor can shoot. Wearing it, these researchers who had basically no protective gear could not even leave a complete body behind after being shot.

Although the scene looks a bit bloody, at least it saves the trouble of checking and refilling the gun.

But when Qi Lin's eyes shifted to the experimental table, his figure paused for a moment...

There was a girl's naked body lying flat on the experimental table. All her hair had been shaved off. Her head was slightly tilted back and placed in a sink filled with ice cubes. There were hoses inserted into her nostrils and mouth. Ten long steel needle-like electrodes penetrated her skull and penetrated directly into her brain.

"Aya..."

Qi Lin immediately rushed to the experimental table. Looking at the familiar face, he subconsciously reached out and touched the girl's arm...

It was cold, bone-chilling cold. The girl's body had obviously just been taken out of the freezer, and she had been brutally murdered before being put into the freezer.

An unspeakable rage surged in Qi Lin's chest, and he had the urge to destroy everything he saw at all costs...

Although reason finally prevailed, Qi Lin's mentality had hit rock bottom.

In the end, I was a step too late...I couldn't do anything, and I couldn't save anyone...

A huge sense of loss came up, and Qi Lin even had the idea of ​​giving up.

Does one person really have a chance of winning against the organizations and masterminds that control all the resources of the entire human society?

"Are you...are you okay? She...isn't she the girl you said you wanted to save?" Lucas saw something was wrong and patted Qi Lin's shoulder carefully.

"I'm fine...I just...I'm just a little..."

"I just want to tell you that the girl you want to save may not be dead yet." Lucas suddenly picked up the experimental report on the experimental table and handed it to Qi Lin.

"not dead?!"

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the appearance of the corpse on the experimental table, and then quickly took the report from Lucas's hand.

…

"The clone...is actually a clone..."

After reading the experimental notes, Qi Lin realized that the corpse lying on the experimental table was just a clone of Ling Kui. Later, Qi Lin found a sequence barcode on the soles of the corpse that was completely consistent with the experimental report. , proving that this corpse is indeed the clone mentioned in the experimental report.

For some reason, after knowing that the corpse was a clone, Qi Lin suddenly felt that the sense of loss dissipated a lot. However, the heavy pressure did not lighten at all, but continued to increase.

Although this corpse is only a clone of Lingkui, Qi Lin's current safety is still unknown. The organization and mastermind are the kind of existence that will use any means to achieve their goals. Qi Lin cannot guarantee that Lingkui will be safe now. He must still be alive.

These researchers used Ayakui's clones to conduct experiments. This does not mean that they are not willing to use Ayakui's original body to conduct experiments. In any case, if they want to obtain the best experimental results, the clones are definitely not as good as the original body.

Moreover, this is only a five-person research team. Judging from the scale of this underground laboratory, the number of researchers inside may be several thousand, and this corpse is only among hundreds of clones. Just one of them.

"Lucas, drag the body in the corridor." Qi Lin directed Lucas while walking around the laboratory. Unfortunately, he didn't have many high-end experimental equipment. The data displayed on the screen made Qi Lin even more confused.

"I still suffer the disadvantage of being uneducated... I should have been left alive if I had known..."

Lucas dragged the body of the researcher outside in, and then pressed the "clean" button next to the air-tight door. He saw that the ceiling at the top of the corridor split toward both sides, and high-pressure water mist mixed with disinfectant came from the detector. The nozzle that came out spurted out, and the blood and minced meat were washed into the sewer ditches on both sides of the corridor, and then were washed away by the water flowing out of the sewer ditch.

It seems that these laboratories should often deal with similar things, so the cleaning facilities are also quite complete. In this case, it actually provided a lot of convenience for Qi Lin to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.

"This guy is that Conrad." Qi Lin collected the IDs of several researchers. One of the three researchers he beat to death in the laboratory was mentioned by the guard. Conrad researcher, he is also the leader of this research team.

Although Qi Lin couldn't understand the function of the experimental equipment and the data on the computer screen, he could still understand the experimental report to some extent. The experimental goal of their team was to remove the spiritual consciousness of the clone Lingkui from her brain. It was "extracted" from the body and then introduced into the brain of Lucas, who was originally supposed to be an experimental subject, to simulate the process of Qin's "seizing" of the cloned body.

However, judging from the previous experimental reports, they have experienced several failures, and the main reason for the failure is that they were completely unable to capture the spiritual thoughts of the clones in an unconscious state.

Mental ability users are different from other ability users. Their abilities cannot be completely copied by cloning. Theoretically, each clone of Ayakui can inherit different abilities from the original body, and there may even be some differences. A "waste body" that has no inherited abilities.

These clones are all quick-finished products. It only takes less than eight hours to develop from embryo to this state. Their own genetic sequence is also in a state that may collapse at any time. The situation is very unstable, like this. The only value of such clones is to be used for in vivo experiments. Their consciousness is completely in chaos, and they cannot even open their eyes and wake up.

The reason why these researchers are using these clones for experiments is simply to calculate some relevant data of the experiment that year. According to Qi Lin's guess, those data were originally supposed to be recorded in the torn pages of the file. above.

No matter who was the person who tore off those pages of the file, all in all, he did Qi Lin a big favor. This move would buy Qi Lin at least dozens of hours.

"What should we do next?" Lucas closed the airtight door of the laboratory, turned around and asked Qi Lin.

"Search this laboratory first to see if we can find some useful information. It would be best if we could know where Qin and Lingkui are being held now." Qi Lin said, in front of the computer Sat down.

Just looking at the screen in front of him, Qi Lin had no idea how to proceed... The computer operating system used by these researchers was something Qi Lin had never seen before. It was neither the Windows operating system common in home personal computers nor the operating system commonly used in home personal computers. The DOS operating system is not the military OS used in the military, but a brand new operating system, and the interface style is completely different from the calculator systems of the old era.

"Damn...Lucas, can you use these computers?" Qi Lin turned around and asked Lucas, who was rummaging through the filing cabinet.

"Uh... no, the computer terminals we use on the surface are all very simple touch screen controls... well, just like the smart phones of the old era. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen this kind of thing. "

"All right……"

Qi Lin looked at the screen and then at the keyboard. At least there were no tricks on the keyboard. It was still the 104 keyboard that Qi Lin was familiar with. He tried hitting the ESC key, but there was no response on the screen.

"That's wrong... ESC should mean exit. No matter how the operating system changes, the keyboard input instructions should be the same..."

While thinking this, Qi Lin casually hit the "Enter key" again.

At the moment when the Enter key was pressed, a subtle noise suddenly sounded inside a device placed next to the experimental subject, and weak arcs flashed across the needle-like electrodes inserted into the clone's head. , and the clone body that was originally lying motionless on the experimental table suddenly began to twitch and twitch.

This was not a "hoax", but a conditioned reflex of muscles and nerves that were not completely dead when they were stimulated. Seeing this scene, Qi Lin immediately stood up and walked around to the side of the experimental table.

Next to the clone, there was still a space large enough for an adult to lie down. If Qi Lin guessed correctly, this space should have been prepared for Lucas.

And the Enter key he just pressed started the experiment that the research team had not started before because another experimental subject had not yet been delivered!

I would like to ask, if Ayakui really receives the bento, how many blades can I receive? Is it possible to survive the free period before new books are released by selling razor blades?
