Secrets in the Basement
Jiang Ziyao counted the time carefully. It was getting dark, and the night was mixed with pink. He saw Ye Qian's white figure leaving the infirmary. He woke up Huo Chi, and Jiang Ziyao told him to help him keep watch and delay time if he saw Ye Qian coming back.
"Can I use my fists?"
"OK."
After saying that, Jiang Ziyao immediately walked into the basement that he had never set foot in.
There was no light around, and the place was as cold and eerie as it had been when he approached. Jiang Ziyao pushed aside the hanging insulation tape and saw a painted iron door behind the disguise of a utility room. There was a lock on it. It was made of ordinary iron and was like a piece of thin paper to his weapons.
Jiang Ziyao directly used a shovel to break the big lock in front of the door. He would be exposed, but he could afford it.
When you walk in, there is a flight of stairs leading down. Walking down the stairs, your feet land on the flat ground, which is somewhat smooth. The feeling under your feet is like standing on Meng Jia's soft, physical shadow.
The blood was just shed. Jiang Ziyao guessed that it was left behind when Meng Ma was being treated. She has now recovered her human body and the wound on her abdomen has been treated. She will not die, but she will not be able to move freely.
Jiang Ziyao touched the wall and turned on the power switch. There was only one light bulb hanging in the corridor, but this little light was enough for him, brightening his vision and cutting through a buzzing corridor like a sharp sword.
Jiang Ziyao heard a lot of noises since he stepped into here, low whimpers and the friction of old truck tires, which were inhuman, but he witnessed with his own eyes that they came from human mouths. The smell of blood and mixed unknown gases made him dizzy.
There were many bloodstains and scratches on the ground and walls, and no one had specially cleaned up the place.
This basement is a reformatory. The largest space is equivalent to an office, which is filled with utensils of different colors and paper materials. When Jiang Ziyao opened it, he found it difficult to understand the professional terms on it, but he found a list.
The Polaroid photos in this list are all of experimental subjects. They are all wearing the same clothes and are probably ordinary people.
Genes, viruses, aliens, infected people.
Jiang Ziyao pried open the cabinets one by one and found an outdated list.
He saw Wen Liao. In the photo, he was smiling cheerfully. The photo was cropped, with a shoulder showing in the corner. However, below the photo was the label "Subject 138".
【——Text: Inhumane research activities have been carried out in the basement of Utopia. Under the instruction of Zhou Kangcheng, ordinary people were secretly detained and used as experimental specimens. At first, they would inject the virus into the human body to study the antidote for the virus. However, Zhou Kangcheng had even greater ambitions. He tried to transform people into tools, using the existence of the infected as his sharp knife in the apocalypse. The log records that I have also entered here as an experimental subject...
Zhou Kangcheng wanted to deprive me of my ability, but they failed. Ye Qian helped me secretly...】
Jiang Ziyao found an experimental log, which recorded the torture these people trapped here had endured. Their bodies were more twisted and weird than those of the aliens. The mutation took a long time and was accompanied by pain. The adverse reactions made their life worse than death. In order to prevent the experimental subjects from committing suicide, they were forced to wear bite guards, have their limbs fixed, and they did not even have the freedom of animals.
Experiments that are determined to have failed will be killed, and the executors will still be named.
Wang Yu.
It has her signature on it.
Jiang Ziyao couldn't count the number of pieces of information, and with trembling fingers, he hurriedly took out Wen Liao's information, crumpled it up, stuffed it into his pocket, and quickly walked into the aisle.
The experimental subjects were locked in a glass room. Their conditions were clearly visible. Some were tied up with chains. This was a secret cage. Jiang Ziyao did not find a single healthy living person. They were all infected.
There were zombies and half-human, half-alien creatures. Their behavior had lost human consciousness, and they were forced to be injected with viruses. At the end of the corridor, Jiang Ziyao saw a familiar person.
A child.
The child's father was shot in the head, and his mother begged for treatment on her knees. Now, one of his eyeballs is sprouting tentacles, and there are black pus beans growing on his neck. Those are white vines.
This is why infections still occur at the base despite strict inspections. They are man-made.
The child was not restrained. Perhaps he was a special experimental subject. He was sticking to the glass, opening his mouth and trying to speak. There was no sound, but from his lip movements he seemed to be calling for his mother. His other eye was shedding tears.
Jiang Ziyao took a breath, his lungs felt like they had been punched. In this dirty place, breathing in the foul air, he couldn't exhale.
There was a rustling sound behind him. It was the paper that Jiang Ziyao had placed under his head. He quickly turned his head.
Ye Qian was actually standing behind him.
Jiang Ziyao took a deep breath and stepped back, resting his fingers on the rusty fence. The rust stained his palms like a blood clot.
"What did you do to Huo Chi?"
He calmed down and said the first sentence coldly.
"Child." Ye Qian didn't move. She didn't approach him. She just shook her head at him and sighed, "This is not the place for you to come."
"I saw it, so what are you going to do?" Jiang Ziyao's anger overwhelmed his physical fear of corpses: "Lock me up and make me the next experimental subject? You'd better be capable of that."
"I will never do that." Ye Qian showed a sad expression: "Child, I won't hurt you."
She tried to let Jiang Ziyao breathe in peace and stepped back a distance: "The gas here will affect you, leave here quickly."
Jiang Ziyao covered his chest, his Adam's apple trembled, and he swallowed. She was right, the air here made it difficult for him to breathe, and it even affected his mood, but he couldn't let down his guard against Ye Qian, he stared at her.
Ye Qian walked in front, leaving her back to Jiang Ziyao: "Follow me, kid, I know you have a lot of questions, I will tell you what you want to know."
"The child just fell asleep. I didn't do anything to him." Jiang Ziyao couldn't see her expression, and her words were as soft as a mother's whisper before going to bed.
"Where is he?"
“In the same place.”
The communication is over.
Jiang Ziyao's body was tense. He followed Ye Qian silently. After leaving the basement, he took a deep breath and shook off the cold sweat on his body.
He rushed to the ward as soon as possible. Huo Chi was lying on the bed with a slight frown on his face. There were no wounds on his body. Jiang Ziyao quickly walked to the bedside and patted Huo Chi's face.
"A little tranquilizer." Ye Qian said, she closed the door and stood at the door with her feet on the ground: "He listens to you very much, but I am also a high-level after all, and my physical fitness is not inferior to yours."
Jiang Ziyao held up Huo Chi's head. His pulse and heartbeat were still normal, but he had temporarily lost consciousness. He frowned and looked at Ye Qian: "How many people did you kill?"
Ye Qian let out a calm breath: "I can't count them all."
Jiang Ziyao stood up and said, "You didn't even let a child go."
He sneered: "Zhou Kangcheng opened the access for ordinary people to enter the medical room, actually opening up a channel for you to become an experimental subject?"
"Yes." Ye Qian replied.
"Mad man." Jiang Ziyao spat out heavily.
"What you did was even more disgusting than the zombies and aliens outside."
"I have no choice." Ye Qian's face was emotionless: "This is Zhou Kangcheng's request. He knows that time will make his authority decline. He needs weapons, and I can only obey him. I have been engaged in the research of antibodies. He gave me the environment. This is my mission."
"Kid, you don't understand yet."
"What don't you understand?" Jiang Ziyao replied, "Should I be glad that I'm not the one trapped there?"
"Child, I know that kind of pain better than you do." Ye Qian closed her eyes, not wanting to look at Jiang Ziyao's obscure, questioning look. "I have saved many people, and I have also hurt many people. Child, you have to understand that there have been more angry people before you, and most of them were women."
[In 3906, the world was infected. In the chaotic situation, the Utopian Base was quickly established. It was like a ray of light in the empty darkness. When the situation stabilized, Zhou Kangcheng was already the greatest authority. The problem they wanted to solve at the beginning was reproduction.
When the human body is nurturing life, it will be infected by viruses. In this unsolvable situation, a female alien successfully gave birth to a child.
That was a healthy child.
A miracle.
The greatest hope at the time was that the child conceived by the alien could be born safely.
Zhou Kangcheng ordered an experiment, requiring all low-level female aliens to participate. They had to mate with male aliens. That was a long time ago. Wang Yu did not elaborate. When it comes to this, we all know that it must be cannibalism and extremely oppressive injustice.
The second team of law enforcers had not yet been established at that time, and apart from Zhou Ting and Wang Yu, there were no other women who could escape this plan.
Wang Yu talked to me with a chuckle. She understood that if this plan was officially launched, female mutants would only be the beginning, and it would only be a matter of time before ordinary women would be targeted. Profit seekers would always have thousands of reasons to exploit people's value.
I asked her the result.
Wang Yu pulled open her clothes, revealing a scar on her abdomen.
The incident ended with Wang Yu piercing her own uterus. She gave up her ability to bear children in front of Zhou Kangcheng and a group of men.
Utopia needs extraordinary people. Under the leadership of Wang Yu, all the female extraordinary people gathered together, holding their weapons in their hands, pointing them at their abdomens. If childbirth is the lock that traps them, they will gamble with their lives and give up childbirth for themselves.
Wang Yu's body was missing a uterus and had a scar, but she miraculously evolved from the intermediate level to the high level.
A high-level mutant, her power gave her a certain say and protected the girls behind her. Zhou Kangcheng reached an agreement with her and she became the secret executioner of the experimental subjects. She would clear out threats outside during the day and strangle humans at night.
Later, the second law enforcement team was formed, and her name, Wang Yu's, was the only one mentioned in this project.
She has no regrets about what she did.
Wang Yu asked me for a cigarette. She said that the blood on her hands was stained, and she would accept revenge with dignity, and it had nothing to do with other people.
Wang Yu once experienced what it was like to be a human being.
In her hands, Wen Liao came to life. 】
The world has changed a long time ago, but Jiang Ziyao is unwilling to admit that he is a part of it. He should wear a suit to the company interview, he will shuttle in the crowd, immerse in the voices, spend his life in the brightly lit city, but this world is deeply affecting him...
Ye Qian told him to be quiet: "You didn't see anything tonight, just pretend it didn't exist."
