Eat and sleep

No matter what, this was the only way forward, and they had no choice but to pass through Area A.

In fifteen uncovered incubators with a capacity of five to six cubic meters, there are sleeping monsters of strange shapes. Some are huge mollusks made almost entirely of tentacles, and some are terrifying creatures that look like dinosaurs in a museum. Their inhuman heads are all connected to an input tube, and at the other end of the tube is a human brain placed in a glass container. There is a spiral device at the entrance of the input tube, which is responsible for beating the solid brain into liquid like beating egg drops and then continuously inputting it into the brain of the experimental subject.

"Grrr..." A policeman vomited involuntarily and collapsed: "I don't want to eat egg drop soup anymore."

After saying that, he looked nervously at the group of monsters. Fortunately, none of them were woken up by him.

The input pipes were crisscrossed across the ground, and even if they were extremely careful, it was only a matter of time before they stepped on one of them.

Xu Cheng stopped and observed for a while, then suddenly said, "No, why didn't the parachute researchers wake them up?"

Someone asked in confusion: "They won't attack researchers, will they?"

Xu Cheng shook his head. "Even the animals we raise can be in danger of attacking their owners, not to mention these monsters. When researchers come in, they will step on these pipes and startle them, but they must have a way to calm them down."

Xu Cheng's eyes swept around and suddenly spotted a bottle of spray on the table at the door.

He picked it up and saw that there was no name on the spray, but there was a pattern drawn on it:

A man in a white coat was holding a rabbit. He was feeding carrots into the rabbit's mouth, and the rabbit was eating happily with a smacking sound.

Xu Cheng: "Is this a trick to soothe the experimental subject?"

He tried spraying a little bit on the subject closest to him.

The subject didn't react, so he thought for a moment and sprayed a little more.

The next second, he saw the dinosaur-like monster open its yellow eyes.

?

[Huh? The prediction screen changed? Let me see! Ahhhh, why are they suddenly chasing people like they are hungry and crazy!]

What?

Xu Cheng stared at the spray in his hand in amazement.

The rabbit smacked its lips and ate happily...

Enjoy your meal...

In addition to soothing them, this pattern also reveals another possibility -

This is a spray to stimulate their appetite before feeding!

Before anyone could react, the dinosaur stood up from the glass culture box. With its huge body, it didn't even need to crawl, as it stretched out its claws from the wall of the tube to grab them!

What's even more terrifying is that when it came out, it made a huge noise, pulling out carrots and bringing out mud, and even overturned several transmission tubes. It seemed that several other experimental subjects were about to wake up!

"I was reckless. You go first and I'll cover your back!" Xu Cheng shouted.

"Captain Xu, you..."

[Hey, there should be a sleeping potion next to the feeding potion, where is that bottle? ]

The appearance of this female voice was undoubtedly heavenly music to them.

Before the dinosaur experiment's sharp claws hooked onto Xu Cheng's back skin, he grabbed the spray next to the feeding medicine, turned around neatly, pressed the valve, and sprayed it directly at the dinosaur's face!

The dinosaur's yellow pupils suddenly dimmed and its movements became slow. If it could speak, it would probably keep saying: Where am I? I'm so sleepy.

At this moment, several other experimental subjects also crawled out and approached them.

Xu Cheng didn't care about anything and sprayed the medicine in his hand at them.

"Hey, why didn't it work this time?"

Xu Cheng sprayed several times, but the other experimental subjects moved closer and closer to them, and their movements did not change at all.

Could it be that the sleeping potion is a special edition for dinosaurs?

It can't be that unlucky, right?

Xu Cheng looked at the sleeping pill in his hand suspiciously, but saw the pattern on it:

The little rabbit finished eating the carrot and fell asleep hugging the carrot.

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind like lightning!

He said quickly, "Spray them with the reagent from earlier! Quick!"

The subordinates were puzzled and asked, "Aren't the tubes used to feed them medicine to make them hungry?"

Despite their doubts, the liquid of the drug was evenly sprayed on this group of strange-looking experimental subjects.

As a fierce light appeared in the eyes of the experimental subjects, Xu Cheng immediately sprayed sleeping pills on them.

The next second, these experimental subjects became drowsy like the dinosaur.

The other police officers were shocked: "What's going on?"

The expression on Xu Cheng's face is hard to describe: "They will feel sleepy only when they are full. Although we didn't feed them, with these two medicines, we can barely imitate the scene where researchers feed them and then coax them to sleep."

Others: …The word “coax” is a great one.

As they ran outside, more and more inlet tubes got tangled under their feet, and more and more test subjects woke up. However, they were all targeted by the combination of two drugs. On the one hand, they were extremely hungry, and on the other hand, they were extremely sleepy and their steps were slow.

"Wait, aren't they said to have human brains and high IQs?"

Xu Cheng: "...Can you still stay rational when you are hungry and sleepy?"

Everyone: That makes sense!

Seeing that there were only a few steps left to the exit of Area A, Xu Cheng suddenly stopped, looked back at the hungry and sleepy "old, weak, sick and disabled" experimental subjects, and smiled: "Why don't we just do it once and for all."

Subordinate: ???

Xu Cheng: "We want to take back the human brain!"

What they want to steal is naturally not the human brain that has been absorbed into the experimental subject's head. Who knows how those components exist in the monster's body now? What they want to steal is the part that has not been absorbed.

So, the subjects in Area A looked at it with a look of sorrow and anger.

Not only did these hypocritical humans blatantly step on their nutrient delivery tubes, they also pulled the tubes to both sides, and their heads were separated from the tubes!

Then, each of the sanctimonious humans held a transport tube with a steaming human brain hanging at the end of the tube, and they ran straight towards the door of Area A!

"You are a bunch of thieves, robbers, and bastards who are blocking evolution..." said an experiment subject who had barely mastered the human language system.

Xu Cheng led his men to flee, but the sounds of pursuit were getting closer and closer. It seemed that anger had finally ignited the fighting spirit of the group of experimental subjects behind him. He caught a glimpse of an empty glass incubator with the corner of his eye, and then he and the others used it to block the narrow corridor.

At the moment of transporting, his eyes suddenly caught a few words on the introduction label attached to the empty culture box:

"Human appearance", "Evolution direction: disguise"...

A chilling feeling suddenly struck his mind. He felt that he had overlooked something, but after thinking for a long time, he still could not get anything out of it, so he could only give up for the time being.

This experimental subject must have simply been transferred to another place.

Being in a temporarily safe and peaceful zone, with the angry growls and claws of various experimental subjects separated by glass incubators behind them, Xu Cheng and the others adjusted their breathing and seized every moment to rest.

"Wait, what is that?"

The lab wasn't completely dark, but it wasn't too bright either, which was why a bright light in the corner seemed suspicious.

Xu Cheng took a closer look and found that it looked like an information receiving and transmitting device, and the faint light came from its screen.

With the development of technology, even the information transceiver devices on interstellar spaceships have become very delicate and compact. Compared with them, the equipment in front of us seems too large and bulky.

For some reason, Xu Cheng always felt that he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

But why put a messaging device in the lab?

Xu Cheng took a closer look and found that the display of the device suddenly lit up not because of anything else, but because - it received a message.

A line of text appeared on the glowing screen, but there was no other information. They couldn't even tell where the message came from.

This message reads strangely:

"Are you guys ready to start?"

When his men saw Xu Cheng's gloomy face, they came over to take a look and said, "It looks like there's nothing wrong, Brother Xu."

Xu Cheng was speechless: "Tell me, what does this sentence mean?"

The innocent policeman who was named: "Are you ready to take action?"

Xu Cheng: "...Sure enough, reversing the word order will not cause any obstacles to human reading..."

However, it is rare to see things turned upside down like this.

It seems like it was translated by some unreliable translation software.

Xu Cheng seemed to be thinking about something. His finger lingered on the reply key for a while, then he replied, "Almost done. What else do we need to prepare?"

He wanted to ask this stranger some questions, but if he asked directly what he had prepared, he would be seen through and startled.

He waited for a long time, and just when he thought he had been seen through by the other party, the other party replied:

Why are you talking so strangely?

Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes.

But in the next second, a new message popped up:

Have you forgotten the day when the second phase of evolution was launched?

The correct word order should be: Establishment day starts the second stage of evolution, have you forgotten?

When he replied, he deliberately messed up the word order, but the other party sensitively noticed it. This shows that the other party can understand their language directly, but the text input by the other party needs to be translated before they can understand it.

Why?

Since the establishment of the interstellar world, the language and writing of the entire universe have been unified. Is there anything that needs to be translated?

Also, by foundation day, do you mean the founding day? They are going to do something on the founding day?

This news fully demonstrates that the parachute company is just a tool and there is still a mastermind behind it.

This communication machine is placed here, probably because Area A has the highest level of confidentiality.

Xu Cheng replied cautiously: "I haven't forgotten."

He was about to ask a few more questions indirectly when he heard a loud explosion. The noise was right next to his ears, and he almost lost consciousness for a few seconds. When he came to, the glass incubator used to block the corridor had shattered to the ground, and the angry experimental subject reappeared.

“Run!”

Fortunately, the exit of the basement was not far from Area A. As soon as they rushed out, they closed the airtight door. The experimental subject was trapped behind the door and could only howl in anger.

Xu Cheng coughed, trying to breathe steadily, quietly savoring the feeling of escaping death, but when his eyes moved to a corner of the airtight door, his eyes froze, his voice was low and hoarse, and he spoke each word in disbelief:

"Where is the unconscious researcher?"

The next second, he finally realized something and rushed out without looking back even though he heard the continuous calls of "Inspector Xu" and "Brother Xu" from behind.

.

At the same time.

"belch."

A few kilometers away in the Royal Park, Luo Chen burped.

In the past two hours, she had already stuffed her stomach with countless delicacies, including the special barbecue unique to Fengming Star, the rare seafood produced by Huanghai Star, and the most popular drinks on the Capital Star... She tried them all.

The happiest thing in life is to enjoy the fresh air after eating.

Luo Tan thought happily.

[Even happier, this person from Xingji is really smart. He can solve the bug without her foresight at all. Her points are credited again! ]

Emperor Nicholas, Crown Prince Andrei, and Crown Prince Helertchichi breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally!

Especially Nicholas, the way he looked at Luo Tan was as if he was looking at his lucky star.

Luo Chen counted the points, and they reached 5400, one step closer to the 7000 mark.

Huh?

Luo Tan was somewhat dissatisfied.

I only got 800 points as a reward for solving such a difficult problem. The system is really getting more and more greedy.

She checked the system and found that only 57% of the mission had been completed.

That's right, let her see what's left to do!

Luo Tan lazily opened the large map, and his eyes widened instantly:

[Hey, why is the red dot flying towards me? ]
