Chapter 15
Since Jiang Fei and Nona would be easily discovered if they acted together, Jiang Fei could only release the black cat to explore the surrounding routes. The area they were currently in was the A-1 base in the northern district, which was also the most developed base in the northern district. Not only was the living standard of the base far higher than that of the D-3 base, but the monitoring system was also more rigorous. Jiang Fei did not dare to act rashly for the time being.
After that night, Jiang Fei became more cautious about the meals provided by the base to prevent them from tampering with the food.
"Jiang Fei, Nona, come with me." The staff found Jiang Fei and Nona and took them out of the isolation area without saying much.
Nona was so nervous that her hands were shaking slightly. She said to Jiang Fei, "Are they going to attack us now?"
"Not so fast." Based on the conversation she overheard last night, the doctor still needed some time to prepare. She patted the back of Nona's hand and said, "Don't be afraid." If all else failed, she would have to release the black cat. Because she had this trump card, although she was a little scared, she didn't tremble like Nona.
"Can I ask where you are taking us?" Jiang Fei asked. As she walked, she observed the layout of the surrounding corridors and planned her escape route in her mind.
The man did not turn around, still facing Jiang Fei with the back of his head. His footsteps suddenly stopped. It turned out that another figure appeared at the corner in front. Jiang Fei and Nona were familiar with that person. He was the previous captain Allen. He was not wearing a black uniform like the other guards, but a simple black short-sleeved shirt.
Nona became emotional when she saw Alan, "It's you!"
Jiang Fei grabbed the corner of Nona's clothes and gave her a look to calm her down. She took over Nona's words, "Captain Allen, what a coincidence."
Allen's gaze passed the guards and fell on Jiang Fei. He didn't react at all, but when he passed by Jiang Fei, he heard her lowered voice, "You actually want to be a good person, right?"
The guard had already walked a distance with Jiang Fei, Nona and the others, but Allen stopped where he was when he heard this. He turned around and saw Jiang Fei's back as she was about to disappear at the end of the corridor.
She had said this before, saying that he was actually a good person, and at that time he was still laughing at her naivety.
He half lowered his eyes. Wanting to be a good person and actually being a good person are two different things. At least in this world, a good person is synonymous with a fool.
And he would never be that fool.
The man frowned, his expression becoming even gloomier, and he turned and continued walking forward.

The guards have led Jiang Fei and the others through the barrier between the isolation area and the base, leading to the interior of the base. The corridors connecting the interior are all dazzling pure white, which will make your eyes tired if you look at it for a long time. They pass through a pier with floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides. From here, you can take in the scenery of the entire base.
The area of the A-1 base is dozens of times that of the D-3, and the population has increased several times. If Jiang Fei had not seen the artificial sun hanging above the base with his own eyes, he would have mistakenly thought that this was a prosperous city.
It has everything a city should have: commercial centers, parks, hospitals, schools, and even a giant stadium.
It was also the first time for Nona to see such a prosperous base. Both of them slowed down their pace involuntarily, but Jiang Fei was thinking more about how she could make the first base she lit up become like this. This could not be accomplished overnight.
At the other end of the pier was a uniquely designed building with a translucent geometric shape. The guard, who had been silent all the way, knocked on a wooden door and finally spoke, "Master Joshua, we have brought them here."
So he was going to take them to see that perverted young master first?
The shape of the wooden door was also very strange, a pointed arch, with intricate patterns carved on the handle. After a few seconds, a lazy voice came from the room, "Let them in."
The door was opened a crack, and the gap became larger and larger. Jiang Fei could gradually see the layout inside. The room was very large, and in the center was a fish tank that was ten meters long. A shark was swimming slowly in it. Through the fish tank, Jiang Fei could only see the other party's conspicuous golden hair.
Nona shrank her neck and followed Jiang Fei. With a click, the pointed arch door closed again. Nona was so scared that she grabbed the clothes on Jiang Fei's back.
"Does it look good?" the boy asked suddenly.
"What?"
He walked around the fish tank and came to Jiang Fei. He had delicate features, beautiful blue eyes, and even a bit of baby fat on his cheeks. He asked again, "Do you think those two fish are pretty?"
Jiang Fei didn't know much about fish. She identified the shark in the bathtub by its fins, but the flora and fauna in this world were different from hers. She replied vaguely, "It's just a fish."
"No, these are not ordinary fish. They have eaten human flesh. Well... they are fish with rather naughty personalities." He put his fingers on his chin and thought seriously, and the adjective "naughty" jumped out of his mouth.
Jiang Fei's eyes met Shark's cold eyes. She didn't think this had anything to do with being naughty.
"Hey, look at me." He grabbed Jiang Fei's chin with his hand firmly and leaned over slightly. "It's true that photos can't compare to real people. Your eyes in the photo can only be said to be barely acceptable. Now it seems that they are really beautiful." As he said that, he forced a smile, and that smile made people shudder.
Jiang Fei slapped his hand away and took a step back. "Are you the person in charge here?"
The young man shrugged indifferently, "That's about right. After my dad dies, I'll take over this place. Hey, my lampshade is here." He just realized that Nona was hiding behind Jiang Fei. Seeing Nona's terrified expression, he patted her back stiffly, as if to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm not going to kill you. I'm just taking some things away. You can still live."
He almost said directly that they should be grateful to him, after all, he saved their lives.
"Is it a good thing to live with a disability?" Jiang Fei memorized the layout of the room.
"Yeah." He said matter-of-factly, "What else?"
Jiang Fei's eyes were full of stubbornness and flashed with an unyielding light. The young man looked at them carefully again and muttered, "It seems that I need a few more days to prepare." It would be a pity if these eyes were ruined.
"Eyes and skin are only the most beautiful when they are on a person."
"You're totally wrong! Anything beautiful will become ugly over time. Only moments of beauty are preserved for eternity!" He grabbed Jiang Fei's shoulders with a frenzied expression. "Don't you understand this? Why don't you understand?!"
The person in front of me is definitely a madman, and it is impossible to reason with a madman.
But they were not in any danger now. Jiang Fei watched coldly and let the boy go crazy. She didn't want to get close to him and cause trouble when he was crazy.
"Since you said these eyes are perfect, there can't be any mistakes during the surgery, right?" She followed his train of thought and tried to buy time for herself and Nona.
The boy raised an eyebrow, "Of course you should be thankful that you have such a beautiful place, unlike those ugly things."
Jiang Fei caught the key words in his words, "Ugly things?"
"Yeah, that's right... I've told Alan not to bring the man back. Alas, he's still too soft-hearted." Joshua abruptly pulled Jiang Fei to one of the walls and entered the password next to it. The wall moved a little, and then began to rotate clockwise, with the amplitude of rotation getting larger and larger.
His palm was placed on the top of Jiang Fei's head. Although he was thin, his palm was broad. He bent Jiang Fei's head in one direction and said, "Here, all those useless things will be used as fertilizer."
Jiang Fei could see clearly now. Behind the wall, a huge moth-like creature was imprisoned in a huge cage. Its wings fluttered slightly as it ate, dropping something like scales. Beside it, the ground was littered with human limbs.
The scene was bloody and eerie. The only sound in the quiet air was the sound of its mouthparts chewing flesh and blood.
Click-click-click——
Jiang Fei's scalp tingled when she heard this. The pattern on the wings behind the moth formed the shape of a human face, which reminded Jiang Fei of the human-faced hawk moth in the real world. Its eyes, marked with large gray-white spots, looked at Jiang Fei from a strange angle.
"Thanks to the fact that it's not picky about food. I would say men's flesh and blood are the stinkiest and most disgusting. Look, it can eat them so happily." Joshua expressed his disgust for men without any concealment, without noticing, no, it should be said that he didn't care about Jiang Fei's fear at all.
"What's that expression on your face? It's so ugly." He held Jiang Fei's cheek, "That look is so ugly."
Jiang Fei lowered her eyes, trying her best to ignore the contaminant in the cage. "Have you finished what you wanted to say? Now we can leave, right?"
Joshua curled his lips. Just then, someone knocked on the door again. He said to the person outside in a gloomy voice, "Come in."
The visitor was not at all surprised by the contaminants behind the wall. He walked straight to Joshua and whispered something in his ear.
"Why does that old man have so many problems?" Joshua rolled his eyes impatiently. "He really should just die soon."
After saying these words without any beginning or end, he followed the visitor and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Jiang Fei and the others to go back first.
On the way back, Nona kept complaining about Joshua's abnormality. Jiang Fei listened absentmindedly. She said, "We need to contact someone who can help us."
But their optical computers were damaged, and the chances of borrowing them from others were very low. Jiang Fei was getting annoyed when she saw Alan who had just come out of another room. She thought of Alan's conflicted look and thought that he might be the only person she could use at the moment.
