Chapter 069: Snake on Desert Island (8)

The man grabbed the ladder and jumped down from close to the ground. There was a rumbling sound in the clouds and the helicopter flew away again.

He was a young man in his twenties, carrying a travel bag and a work badge on his chest. He looked around in confusion when he landed, then he saw Tao Xing and ran over happily: "Are you Brother Tao?"

Tao Xing: "You are..."

"My name is Liang Yang." The man showed him his work badge. "Like you, I'm an intern at the research institute and I just started working there not long ago."

Tao Xing glanced at her work badge and said, "Hello."

Liang Yang looked at him several times and said, "Brother, what are you doing here? Are you going back to the base now? Let's go together. I don't know how to get there yet."

"base?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's okay. Okay, I'll take you there." Tao Xing put down the basin and led him forward.

At the edge of the jungle, before the snake crawled there, Tao Xing was seen on the road.

It hurried forward, and the figure of a person in the tree flashed, and it saw an extra figure next to the person.

How come there are suddenly so many people?

The snake felt inexplicably aggrieved, not knowing where this strange feeling came from. It retreated in disappointment and returned to its cave.

Tao Xing led the visitor and walked very slowly. He wanted to understand some situations before reaching the laboratory.

"Why did the hospital send you here again?" he asked.

"My qualifications are so good, of course you should send me." Liang Yang was very excited. "I fought for this position for a long time."

Tao Xing: "I also fought hard to get here, but after arriving, I found that this place is not as good as I imagined."

Liang Yang coughed lightly, looked around, and whispered, "I think so too. This place looks so desolate. But, didn't the hospital say that anyone who is sent to the island for internship can be converted to a regular employee after returning, and they will also be rated. Brother, think positively. Suffering for a few months will bring you security in the future."

"That's true. Have all the interns who returned before been converted to regular employees?" Tao Xing asked.

"Of course. I heard that some of them have even gone to core departments. I hope I'll have a chance to join them after I return. Oh, I believe you can do it too, Senior Brother Tao. Your qualifications are better than mine."

"Thank you." Tao Xing said, "But..."

"What's the matter?"

"The base may not be what you imagined, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"Hey, it's okay. Looking at the environment here, I'm already prepared." Liang Yang shrugged and took his arm. "Brother, tell me first, are you busy at work? What do you do on a daily basis?"

"Didn't you ask the interns who went back before?" Tao Xing pulled his arm out and took a step forward.

Under normal circumstances, having his arm pulled would not be a big deal, but he had been feeling a little uncomfortable since he was fishing just now, and his body was hot.

Could it be that he has a cold? Fortunately, it shouldn’t be a big problem, but he strangely doesn’t want to touch others.

Although I said I didn’t want to touch others, the snake suddenly popped up in my mind.

"Most of them go to core departments after returning, which distances them from interns like me. How can I have the chance to meet them?" Liang Yang complained after hearing his question, "Brother, are you still in contact with them?"

"Um... I don't have it, that's why I'm asking you." Tao Xing said.

"That's right." Liang Yang followed him and wanted to hug his arm again, "We were both assigned here, it's quite fate. I hope I can be assigned to the same department with Brother Tao in the future..."

Tao Xing pulled her hand away just before he reached out, frowning secretly: What's wrong with this guy? Why does he always like to touch me?

Liang Yang's hand fell empty, he pursed his lips and followed beside him, whispering: "Senior Brother Tao, you are so handsome."

Tao Xing: “…”

He took a few steps away from the man.

Across the hill, two monsters suddenly jumped out from the bushes, a fox with human hands and a rabbit with human ears. They bared their teeth and roared at the humans.

Liang Yang was startled and hugged her... Tao Xing dodged in time, so he didn't hug her. He just hid behind Tao Xing: "Ah, what is that made of? It looks so weird..."

The monsters probably smelled the scent of humans and wanted to come out to hunt, but they were really afraid of Tao Xing. They roared for a long time but did not come out. They rubbed their claws behind the tree and ran away.

"It's okay." Tao Xing said.

Liang Yang looked around timidly: "There are still monsters on the island, are there many?"

"There are about ten of them," Tao Xing said, "and these are the ones I found."

"Ah?" The new intern swallowed his saliva, not daring to hug Tao Xing, so he could only hold his sleeve, "Do they eat...eat people?"

"Then I don't know." Tao Xing continued to lead him forward.

When they reached the desolate land, their feet touched an iron frame. Tao Xing said, "We're here."

Liang Yang looked around: "Where?"

"under."

Liang Yang lowered his head and looked at the broken door panel on the ground, his expression changed.

"Let's go." Tao Xing jumped in first.

Liang Yang calmed himself down and walked in.

In the basement, which had to be lit even in the daytime, the incandescent lights flickered, and the pungent smell of medicine and dampness hit his face. The further he walked in, the paler his face became. "Brother, are you sure this is the base?"

Tao Xing: "Do you know Li Heng?"

"I know. Our senior from the same department has been sent here a long time ago."

"That's right, he used to work here."

"Oh, that's good." Liang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and followed him around the corner, "Where is Senior Li Heng?"

The two had already reached the office door, and Tao Xing said, "It's at your feet."

Liang Yang lowered his head and saw the pool of blood. In an instant, his hair stood on end and he was stunned.

"There's no one here anymore. They've either run away or are dead." Tao Xing pointed at the access lock and said, "Can you open it if you try?"

Liang Yang's eyes widened and he raised his hand woodenly.

Mechanical female voice: "No information has been entered."

Then stick the eyes on.

"No information entered."

Tao Xing used a knife to cut the door open: "This is where we work, do you want to come in and take a look?"

Liang Yang walked in absentmindedly. The computer was flashing blue light, and the glass room next to it was filled with test tubes and instruments in a mess.

"What happened?" Liang Yang murmured, "What on earth is going on in this laboratory? This doesn't look like a regular research site at all."

Tao Xing rubbed his forehead which was getting hotter and hotter: "Do you know how many interns have been sent to the island?"

"About ten."

"Have you really seen them all go back?"

"They were all transferred to core departments..." Liang Yang said halfway through his words, and a look of shock and fear appeared in his eyes.

Tao Xing nodded: "They... didn't go back at all."

Liang Yang's legs went weak, and he stepped back in panic, accidentally stepping on the half-dried bloodstain. He jumped in shock: "If they didn't go back, then where did they go? Are they all dead?"

"What do you think?"

"I, I don't know." Liang Yang was at a loss, staggering on the chair, "They said we were sent here to work, but they were actually tricking us into giving up our lives, right? I was so excited to apply, I thought I finally got a good job, and other people envied me!"

His mind was severely damaged, and he stood up and grabbed Tao Xing's arm: "Why do you want to kill us? What kind of experiment are they doing? How did you survive? Why are you like this now? Could it be that... you took care of the staff here?"

Tao Xing didn't reply, but turned to look at the computer: "Do you know the password?"

"The hospital has distributed backup codes, don't you know about it, brother?"

“I lost my phone.”

Liang Yang tremblingly flipped through the information and entered the password according to the instructions.

When the computer entered the page, there was still an avatar flashing, followed by some programs and files that had not been closed.

The two of them had actually guessed a rough idea of ​​the various paper abstracts on the document, but when they leaned over to take a look, they were still shocked.

They are all about the combination and transformation of humans and animals, bloody and cruel.

Lintian Biological Research Institute, although it looks grand and impressive on the surface, is actually secretly conducting dark and crazy experiments. Their theory is that by combining human intelligence with animal physical strength, they can create better creatures that will definitely be more advanced than humans in the future.

Their transformation process pairs humans and animals on a one-to-one basis, and fuses them while both are still alive. They first inject each other's genetically modified extracts into their bodies, and then use special potions to make some of their organs melt and become viscous, giving them activities that the organisms themselves cannot control.

Use this sticky substance to fuse the two parts together, and then the active organs of the genetically stronger side will spread from the fusion site little by little, engulfing the weaker side, until finally, the weaker side is completely engulfed and the transformation is complete.

The transformed creatures are neither animals nor humans. Tao Xing calls them monsters, while they say they are higher-level creatures.

Click on the file and the process recorder behind it will be enlarged.

According to statistics, an intern would come to the island every once in a while. Tao Xing saw that her name was the 16th, Liang Yang was the 17th, and there were a few people behind him.

A ranking of words is like a death list.

After reading this, what is there to not understand? The interns were deceived into being experimental subjects.

Liang Yang trembled.

Starting from Tao Xing, the notes were all that they had not reported in. This was normal. When Tao Xing arrived, the staff in the laboratory had disappeared.

In front of him, there were a total of 15 people, including Wang Qiang, Hu Yuyu, etc., who corresponded to those monsters. There were two unfamiliar names, who should be the two dead human-faced monsters. The number also matched, which meant that Tao Xing did not miss any of them.

"Senior...brother." Liang Yang said tremblingly, "I know Wang Qiang. He once boasted to me that he was chosen to come to the island. And..." He pointed at the person in the row behind his name, "This is my junior brother. No, I have to tell him not to come, not to come..."

His hands couldn't stop shaking, he picked up the phone and dropped it again, and he couldn't pick it up for a long time.

"There's no one here anymore, don't worry." Tao Xing's head felt a little heavy, and there was a strange feeling of heat flowing through his body. He took a deep breath and forced himself to concentrate.

"Yes, yes." Liang Yang nodded, remembering something, "Senior Brother, you haven't reported in either. How long have you been here?" There is no clear time in the program, and it is probably impossible to plan it in such detail.

"It's been a while. There was no one here when I arrived." Tao Xing loosened his collar, dissipating some of the heat, and pointed at those names.

After each person's name, the animal species appears in order.

Wang Qiang corresponds to the red fox, and behind Hu Yuyu is the hairless cat... Click the mouse and an animal species will appear, and below it there are bears and rabbits...

Let’s go to the last one, the 15th one, the intern before Tao Xing came, his name was Wang Yuzhou. This is the timid human-faced monster. The human-faced monster was a name given by Tao Xing, and the real animal that was synthesized with it is called a hairless cat.

When he clicked the mouse, the words appeared and Tao Xing was suddenly startled.

The picture and species that appeared at the back were, apparently, the Golden Dragon Python.

It's not a hairless cat, it's a snake, it's...his snake.

080 said hurriedly: "Host, it has been confirmed that the mission object is definitely not synthetic."

Tao Xing nodded. He was feeling a little unwell today, so his mind was not very clear. Yes, the animal part of Wang Yuzhou was clearly a hairless cat, which could be seen with the naked eye.

In this way, he roughly understood that the snake had been caught and the plan was to merge it with Wang Yuzhou, but something unexpected happened and the snake was not used in the end, and it was replaced by a hairless cat, and the program may not have had time to be modified.

So, what is this unexpected change?

Tao Xing glanced at the bloodstains on the ground. Was it possible that the snake had bitten the experimenter to death and then ran away?

However, since he came to do this task, it means that the snake has never eaten humans. Moreover, if the experimenter was bitten to death, who would synthesize Wang Yuzhou and the hairless cat later?

He was getting hotter and hotter, his head was dizzy and he couldn't think straight.

Liang Yang sensed that something was wrong with him and asked carefully, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Tao Xing continued clicking the mouse.

He couldn't say that he had an inexplicable desire, and that the snake kept appearing in front of his eyes again and again, and he couldn't help thinking about the scene of him being entangled with it.

The more I think about it, the more I think about it.

He shook his head and clicked on his name, but there was a blank behind it. He had not reported in and had not matched an animal yet. The names of Liang Yang and the following people were all blank.

Continue clicking, and in the third column, words will appear behind the name and animal.

The eye-catching red words: Transformation failed.

The two were stunned and clicked one by one.

Starting from the first line, each line shows that the transformation failed, all the way to Wang Yuzhou and the Golden Dragon Python, and the rest is blank with no results displayed.

"It turns out that the monsters we saw were all failures." Liang Yang said in astonishment.

"What do you think the successful transformation will look like?" Tao Xing asked.

"It must be a monster, half human, half animal." Liang Yang's face was pale. "Brother Tao, let's go quickly. Don't worry about what happened here. Li Heng and his men have done so many evil things that they deserve to die. We don't want to stay on this island. I will call the hospital and ask them to send a plane to pick us up..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes turned sad. The research institute deliberately wanted them to be experimental subjects, would they really come to take the job?

If they discover the secret, they might... be silenced.

He trembled and burst into tears: "What should I do? Oh, right, let's call the police." He quickly dialed the number.

As he dialed, he started crying again: "I can't get through. There is no signal. We can't contact the outside world on this island. We are trapped and can only wait to die."

He was crying so hard that he was out of breath. He wanted to come over and lean on Tao Xing's shoulder, but Tao Xing had the foresight to push his head away.

"The island is safe for now." Tao Xing said, continuing to click the mouse, and nothing was displayed in the program.

The program retracted, and a portrait suddenly appeared in front of me.

When Tao Xing saw the face clearly, his expression changed slightly.

This person's appearance is exactly the same as the image of the snake transformed into a human.

080 said that snakes will change according to the appearance of the object they are courting, but they also need a template, so this is its template.

Tao Xing quickly clicked on the person, and the picture enlarged and turned into three-dimensional form, allowing him to see all sides.

Liang Yang looked at his actions in surprise: "I know this guy is handsome, but now is not the time to look at handsome guys."

Tao Xing didn't reply. He looked at the picture over and over again. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is not a real character.

The picture is made with code, it is a virtual image.

The snake must have seen this appearance and used it as a template to transform into a human form.

The aesthetics are good, the virtual portrait has no flaws, everything is perfect.

But the laboratory is doing fine, why create a virtual image?

Perhaps, there are some things that we still need to ask the snake.

Thinking of the snake, Tao Xing felt the heat surge again.

The people around him kept urging him to leave. He had basically understood the information he needed to get, and his computer couldn't connect to the Internet and couldn't communicate with the outside world, so he decided to go out first. He wanted to go upstairs to get some fresh air, and also wanted to... go back to find the snake as soon as possible.

080 asked: "Why do you need to find it as quickly as possible?"

"Ask it about the situation here." Tao Xing said, "What are you thinking about?"

080: "I'm not thinking about anything. Host, what do you think I'm thinking?"

Tao Xing: "...I heard that your system needs to be returned to the factory for rebuilding regularly?"

080: "Host, I was wrong." After saying this, he dived into the depths of consciousness.
