Chapter 290 Deep Virtual Reality 117
Xie Ning put on her mask as she walked. The dust here was heavy, and there might be all sorts of mold and viruses, so they had to take precautions.
Lin Yu walked to a wall, squatted down, and touched the switch under the U-shaped marble table. Then the tabletop shook, revealing four thin slits. Lin Yu stood up and gently pressed it, and the square cover popped open.
Inside were rows of electrical switches.
"Although it's a bit dusty, at least it's not damaged." Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because it hadn't been turned on for many years, the circuit breaker made a creaking sound when it was pulled up, and then, with a buzzing sound of electricity, the lights on the ceiling of the hall flickered on and off.
The blindingly bright lights illuminated the entire hall, causing everyone to squint uncomfortably. Then, Lin Yu nodded to Professor Lillian and led the group to one of the elevators.
With the power back on, the elevator is obviously still functioning normally. Although we could take the stairs, the building's interior is complex, so taking the elevator is faster. If the elevator breaks down later, we can just break it down by force.
"The central control room is on the fifth basement level. I don't know what the situation is like there. I'll take one test subject down first, and you two will follow me."
Because the experimental subject was so large, the elevator could not accommodate all the people and the experimental subject.
"Jiang Teng, you and Xiao Ning go down first, Annika and I will follow later," Dr. Ji said.
"yes."
Accompanied by a rumble of thunder, the group stepped into the elevator. At this time, the elevator was not yet connected to artificial intelligence, so it still needed to be operated manually.
The layout here is actually very similar to the experimental base where she used to work. Xie Ning sat down on a chair to the side, with experimental subjects hanging their heads to the side.
Professor Lillian's experimental subjects were very quiet. Although they were exceptionally cold and bloodthirsty during battle, sending chills down one's spine, they were usually very silent and quiet.
Xie Ning thought of the medicine that Professor Lillian had injected into them. Perhaps it was because of the medicine, and also because of the control chip.
The elevator doors opened to reveal a large hall of over 100 square meters, filled with scattered experimental data. The greenery on both sides had withered, though it wasn't artificial.
Directly in front of them was a metal door, and to the side of the door was an electronic screen about chest-high. Lin Yu glanced around and, seeing that it was relatively safe, told Jiang Teng and Xie Ning to stay there while she went up to meet Dr. Ji and the others.
Of course, the experimental subjects she brought down also had to be left behind.
Jiang Teng swallowed hard. He wondered if the test subject would still be so quiet if Lin Yu was gone.
Jiang Teng's gaze suddenly met the experimental subject's orange-yellow compound eyes, and he involuntarily took a few steps back, almost bumping into Xie Ning, who was squatting on the ground picking up documents.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Teng asked, trying to make conversation.
Although I've spent a lot of time with these experimental subjects, this is the first time I've been alone with them, especially without any isolation measures.
"I'd like to see if there's anything interesting. Aren't you curious about what kind of experiments Norton Technologies is conducting here...?"
"Not curious."
Jiang Teng shook his head, not wanting to look at the contents of the document at all. "Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. I'll just obediently follow orders and do what I'm told. The important thing is to get back alive and get the bonus this time."
Finally, Jiang Teng cleared his throat and said, "The person who came this time is Professor Lillian, and we encountered so many alien creatures along the way. Although I don't know the details, you and I can guess that it's nothing more than making the alien creatures evolve to be even more powerful."
Xie Ning brushed the dust off the documents and looked at the experimental subjects in the hall. "I don't think so."
Just as Xie Ning was about to say something, Lin Yu arrived, and Xie Ning had no choice but to shut up.
Dr. Ji was somewhat speechless when he saw Jiang Teng hiding behind Xie Ning. He had never seen Jiang Teng so afraid before.
When Dr. Ji saw the lower half of the experimental subject's snake-like body, he understood that Jiang Teng seemed to be afraid of this reptile.
The person who entered the password was Lin Yu, who worked for Norton Technologies. This abandoned experimental base also belonged to Norton Technologies, while Dr. Ji and Xie Ning were employees of Huarui Technologies.
Their research directions are different. Dr. Ji was invited this time mainly because of his mechanical engineering expertise. If anything necessary at the experimental base is damaged, Dr. Ji will have to repair it.
Another issue is the attack system inside the experimental base. Although Kono is there, the role of artificial intelligence is limited. At least in this abandoned experimental base, it is difficult to operate without human intervention.
