Although Li Shu had known the truth of the matter for a long time, he still felt short of breath after hearing it confirmed by the researchers of this institute!
He raised his foot and kicked Liu Zi's leg hard, his face full of coldness. "You have hurt the heroes and ordinary people of the empire, and now you still claim to be serving the empire. You are really disgusting!"
"No, we did nothing wrong!" Liu Zi couldn't help but defend himself after hearing Li Shu's words, "We used those star beasts and ordinary people who made mistakes to conduct experiments. We did nothing wrong!"
When Li Shu heard this, the sneer on his face deepened. He sneered and said, "They made mistakes. Then tell me, what mistakes did those people make that deserved such inhuman transformation?"
When Liu Zi heard Li Shu's question, he was also a little surprised. He paused, his expression still firm, "Even if they didn't make any mistakes, it's their honor to contribute to the future development of the empire. They should be grateful!"
The Imperial Star Beasts occupy a quarter of the total population of the entire galaxy. These people may seem to be doing nothing on a daily basis, but once the Zerg invade, they will become the defenders of their planets.
He couldn't say that all star beasts were good, but at least those they knew, Chen Liang and Chen Liang's brothers, had been fighting on the front line for this empire. They loved this empire, so they were willing to dedicate themselves to this empire and work hard for them.
But what did the imperial royal family do? They used this research institute to conduct illegal human experiments and even treated these heroes of the empire as criminals!
This empire was rotten to the core, so disgusting that it made him feel sick!
Especially when he saw Liu Zi, who didn't think he was wrong, Li Shu's blood pressure rose uncontrollably. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then chopped off the opponent's head with a sword. The speed was so fast that he didn't give the opponent any chance to react.
At this moment, Old Qiao slowly woke up and saw Liu Zi's head, still with an expression of disbelief, rolling in front of him.
Old Qiao looked defeated and screamed. Just as he was about to faint, Li Shu said coldly, "If you dare to faint, I will let you keep this guy company!"
Hearing this, Old Qiao used all his strength to try to control himself because the guy in front of him fainted. He looked at Li Shu tremblingly and said in a trembling voice, "Big, big brother, what do you want me to do? Just tell me and I will do it for you!"
Li Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what this research institute is for?"
"I know, I know!" With Liu Zi's previous experience as a lesson, Lao Qiao told everything he knew.
He and Liu Zi are partners, and they actually know the same thing. He also believes that these star beasts and ordinary humans came in after making mistakes outside.
Li Shu asked the same question as Liu Zi, "What if these people are not so-called criminals, but heroes on the battlefield, or just ordinary people on the planet?"
Upon hearing this, Old Qiao didn't have the same stubborn determination as Liu Zi. His face turned pale and he lowered his voice slightly, saying, "Actually, I have a feeling. After all, the interstellar space is relatively stable. How could there be so many criminals? But I don't dare to ask. Even if they aren't, I can only treat them as criminals!"
Li Shu understood. This guy had clearly grasped some of the truth, but for the sake of his own life, he simply ignored this little anomaly and feigned ignorance.
Li Shu understood the other party's choice, but he was still a little disappointed. He let out a breath and said in a deep voice, "I see that your laboratory doesn't intersect with any main roads. Take us in!"
"I..." Lao Qiao hesitated. Li Shu directly raised the sword towards Lao Qiao's neck and asked, "Are you going or not?"
Huo Wei saw that Li Shu was in a bad mood and obviously not in the mood to play the good guy. He took a step forward, glanced at Lao Qiao nonchalantly, and said calmly, "Take us in, and we'll let you live. If you don't take us in, we'll kill you and Liu Zi and go find others."
Li Shu showed a malicious smile on his face, "Anyway, there are still many people in this research institute!"
Old Qiao wanted to live, so he took the initiative to show weakness and said, "I understand. I will take you there, but you must promise that you must take me away alive."
Hearing this, Li Shu laughed angrily, then his face turned cold. "Do you think you still have a chance to negotiate terms?"
Old Joe: “…”
Li Shu looked at the other person's miserable eyes, was silent for a moment, and then relaxed, "I promise you, as long as you lead us to the place, I will take you out, and at the same time, I can also guarantee that you can survive."
Hearing this, Old Joe instantly perked up. He quickly stood up from the ground and said excitedly, "Okay, in that case, I'll take you in."
He paused for a moment, then took out two sets of eight-piece gowns from the wardrobe beside him and handed them to Li Shu, saying with a smile, "Your clothes are too conspicuous. Change into these and I'll take you there."
Li Shu sent a message to Lin Yong and Chen Liang, then put on a white coat, put on a mask, and followed Lao Qiao. They walked through a long corridor and then went to the basement. This place was wider than the upstairs, and the roar of wild beasts could be faintly heard.
Li Shu and Huo Wei looked at each other and understood that they had arrived at the center of the research institute.
Then, Old Joe took them to a huge laboratory.
He led them to the innermost part of the room and whispered, "This is our laboratory. My authority allows you to stay here for an hour. You can take whatever you want with you during this time, but don't forget what you promised us. You must take me with you and escape from here!"
Huo Wei and Li Shu stood at the door, but they didn't go in. Old Qiao was a little anxious and urged them, "Why don't you go in?"
Li Shu pointed to a door on the left. Above it was the word "Stairwell" written in large letters. He asked, "Where does this connect to? Why didn't you mark it on the map?"
Old Joe's face paled slightly. "I don't know about that. I don't have permission to use this staircase, so I don't know where it leads to."
Huo Wei pondered for a moment, picked up the map again and examined it carefully, then asked in a deep voice, "Where are the star beasts and humans that your research institute needs imprisoned?"
Old Joe shook his head. "I don't know. I don't have enough authority. This is beyond my purview."
Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other. They had only heard the roar of the star beast, but had not seen any trace of the star beast. If there were no other secret passages in this research institute, then this door should be the one leading to the dungeon where Chen Liang's friends were imprisoned.
