Deep underground, Shen Lanzhou finally met a living person from the Qingkong Base.
They were dressed in work clothes and busy in the equally huge underground base.
As an unexpected intruder, Shen Lanzhou took a quick look around, passing through one busy work area after another.
She saw people in blue engineer uniforms operating machines to develop and construct the edge of the underground base.
She saw the worker behind the monitor operating the robot to perform operation again and again.
She saw people in white protective suits carefully observing the mutant monsters wriggling and twisting behind the glass wall in the isolation room.
The deeper you go, the tighter the defenses become. Metal doors are locked shut, and countless surveillance cameras and sentries guard the area. Without a valid ID card, entry is impossible.
But Shen Lanzhou didn't care.
This base, which is as heavily defended as an iron wall, is like her back garden, where she can go wherever she wants.
Everyone who passed by Shen Lanzhou was very busy, in a hurry, with clear goals and light in their eyes.
Compared to the hell on earth outside where survival is extremely difficult, the Blue Sky Base seems like a utopia.
Compared to the various survivor bases that are full of weirdness and deformity, the current model of the Blue Sky Base seems to be the most orthodox and normal doomsday refuge for mankind.
Even Shen Lanzhou couldn't help but hesitate: Could it be that we are the abnormal ones?
He strengthens himself by absorbing the stones in the monsters' brains, hunts all kinds of monsters that would anger Darwin as food, possesses all kinds of superpowers that are not in line with scientific theorems, and the more he evolves, the more distorted and mutated his human form becomes.
Speaking of which, are the 'people' who survive in that abnormal world where the sky and the earth are all scarlet still really human?
Shen Lanzhou looked at the people in the Qingkong base who had normal mental appearances, ordinary bodies and no mutations at all.
Compared to them...the people outside...don't really seem like humans.
【Slurp, slurp, slurp…】
A strange sound interrupted her thoughts. Shen Lanzhou raised her head and looked around in confusion.
【Slurp, slurp, slurp…】
"?"
The girl had a puzzled expression on her face as she observed everyone who passed by her.
Everyone has his or her own job, busy as an ant colony.
No one has the time to stop and do anything other than work.
The strange sound like teasing a dog coming from my ears seemed like an auditory hallucination.
Forget it, never mind.
Now we should find Lin Daonian or someone with a higher status to obtain more useful information.
"Hey! You've done enough research, it's time to let me go!"
"We saved your life and saw so many secrets. How could we let you go?"
After not seeing him for a year, Lin Daonian, who already looked a little old, looked even older, as if he had grown ten years older.
His hair and beard turned gray, and his old face was full of wrinkles and age spots.
With just one glance, Shen Lanzhou knew he didn't have long to live. Like a balloon with a hole in it, a large amount of vitality was lost, and his life was about to come to an end.
The person behind the glass wall who was calling out to go out was Mr. Li Qing, who had not been seen for a long time. He was wearing a straitjacket and tied to the bed, with only his head above the neck able to move.
I didn’t expect to see two old acquaintances at once. What a surprise.
Shen Lanzhou raised his eyebrows, but did not rush to show up. Instead, he stood aside and ate the melon.
"Your brain is still of normal size. How did you mutate to be able to control objects with your mind?"
Lin Daonian stroked his beard, his eyes full of confusion.
"I don't know. As I level up, I naturally gain abilities, like an extension of my limbs."
"Wait a minute, I think I have some ideas. Let me draw another tube of blood."
A machine with a syringe moved to Li Qing's side and drew a tube of blood with a muffled groan from the other party.
He cursed angrily: "Fuck you..."
"I'm sorry, I have to study the secrets of the evolvers' abilities. Everything is for humanity." Lin Daonian said with a little guilt.
This hypocritical attitude amused Li Qing: "Human? Human? Hahahaha, bah!"
Li Qing is in a very bad condition now, his skin is pale and bloodless, and he looks listless.
As if to facilitate research, all the hair on his body was shaved off, even his eyebrows.
It's so miserable.
"I know that sounds hypocritical."
Lin Daonian pressed a button, and a small robot came in with its tracks rolling.
He picked up a crystal core from the table and put it into the groove on the back of the small robot. After operating it a few times, he cut off his left arm without blinking in front of Li Qing's shocked eyes.
After identifying the target, the robot clicked a few times and aimed its robotic arm at his broken arm.
Immediately afterwards, granulation tissue began to grow visibly on the broken arm, followed by bones, muscles, and skin.
In just ten breaths, a severed arm had grown back. The broken arm still dripped with blood as it fell to the ground, telling all the witnesses that this was no illusion.
"See? This is the result of my research. This is one of the trump cards that humans use to survive in this strange world."
After being shocked, Li Qing started to cry: "Fuck your mother! Xiao Zhao is only eighteen years old, still a child!"
Li Qing has the impression that only one person has the power to regenerate broken limbs, and that person is one of the children he brought up.
If Lin Daonian studied himself for the purpose of developing his ability to control objects with his mind, then from whom did he obtain the result of regenerating severed limbs?
Isn’t the answer obvious?!
Those people he took out, those children...
"I'm sorry, but when our people found you, you were the only one who survived. We only recovered their bodies."
Seeing the tough guy Li Qing in tears, Lin Daonian seemed to remember his granddaughter who had passed away young. His mood became much lower. He whispered to comfort him, "I won't hurt you. As long as the research yields results, I will find a way to allow you to move freely around the base."
After that, both the researcher and the researched fell silent. Some were working, some were dazed.
Shen Lanzhou moved and noticed that Li Qing's eyes were following his steps.
She showed an interested expression and shaped her lips: Can you see me?
There was no change in Li Qing's expression, he just squinted in her direction.
It seems that Mr. Li Qing is aware of his own existence, but cannot observe himself clearly.
Shen Lanzhou planned to go around for a while, and meeting Li Qing was a pleasant surprise. Her main purpose of exploring the Qingkong Base was to find out the cause of the earthquake.
【Slurp, slurp, slurp…】
[Strange, is my pronunciation wrong? Why doesn't the little one react at all?]
The strange sound in my ear, like teasing a dog, finally changed.
