Chapter 46 Experiment
In the living room, Aning sat on the sofa in a slightly reserved manner. He looked at the dirty marks on the clean floor, bit his lip, and blushed shyly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chu Wanyue pushed a cup of warm water over, signaling him not to be nervous.
Gu Bingchen put the towel he used to wipe his hair on the armrest, looked at Aning, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Aning quickly put the USB drive on the coffee table and briefly repeated what Gu Hua asked him to pass on.
"I remember her ability is teleportation, right?" Long Yilan, who came from next door, pushed the door open and looked puzzled. "Teleportation is essential for escaping."
"Sister Gu said that you can read the contents of the USB drive before making a decision." Aning almost shrank when she saw two more adults coming in.
The USB drive could not be viewed on a tablet. Gu Bingchen searched the space for a long time before finding a laptop. It had not been turned on for 800 years, but it still had a little power.
This was the first time that Jiang Yunqi and the other two had seen such an ancient product, and they were all a little curious.
Gu Bingchen inserted the USB drive into the computer, slid the touchpad, and clicked on the file inside.
The content contained in this USB drive far exceeded the SD card a few days ago.
Gu Bingchen glanced at her, and Chu Wanyue immediately received it. She walked to Aning and squatted down. She touched the little boy's long hair and said softly, "Can I take you upstairs to take a shower?"
"There is hot water upstairs. It will be much more comfortable to take a shower."
Aning was not as lively as he was in front of Gu Hua. He asked timidly in a low voice, "Will it be too troublesome?"
"No, let's go."
Chu Wanyue led Aning to the public bathroom upstairs. Their clothes were too big for children. After searching for a long time, she found a set of clothes that were more suitable. She put hot water for Aning and closed the door considerately.
"I'm just outside the door. Call me if you have anything."
In the bathroom, Aning stood there for a long time before gently touching the water surface with his hand.
The water temperature was suitable and very comfortable.
This was Aning's first comfortable bath after the apocalypse.
Downstairs, Gu Bingchen placed the computer on the coffee table, and several people gathered together and clicked the play button of the video.
The video was bloody and brutal, with no humanity at all, and it really shouldn't be seen by children.
From the dim dungeon came the howling of beasts and the miserable cries for help of humans. The blood filled the entire video, and Tang Yichao almost vomited his dinner.
His face was blue and red, and he couldn't tell whether it was the twisted disgust of human nature that touched him, or the bloody violence of the picture that made him nauseous.
In the second half of the video, on one hand, there were the heartbreaking cries for help from the survivors, and on the other hand, there were the cold and ruthless reports of the researchers.
They turned a blind eye to the suffering of their compatriots and had indifferent expressions.
"No. 176's data is abnormal."
"No. 085 is dead."
"The dead will be dragged into the dungeon to feed the zombies."
The cold words made people feel that this was not a hot summer day, but a cold winter with temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero.
The video was about a minute long, and until the video was over, several people had not come back to their senses.
"They...they deserve to die!"
Long Yilan clenched her fists, wishing she could rush into the video and kill those researchers.
Even Xie Er, who was always gentle, couldn't help but curse them as "beasts".
Jiang Yunqi and Gu Bingchen also noticed one thing.
Gu Bingchen pulled the progress bar and stopped in the middle.
"Do these instruments look like helmets for detecting mental power?" Jiang Yunqi stretched out his bony fingers and pointed at the screen.
Tang Yichao touched his chin and said, "I think this is more like the electric shock therapy equipment used to punish patients in mental hospitals."
He had watched a movie before.
There was a close-up of an instrument in it, which was very similar to the one in the video.
It can even be said to be exactly the same.
Gu Bingchen frowned: "You mean, they may have destroyed Gu Hua's superpowers by electric shock?"
"Is that possible?"
In the second half of the sentence, Gu Bingchen's puzzled eyes fell on Jiang Yunqi, asking for his thoughts.
In the interstellar space, the only way to destroy a person's mental power is for the higher level to suppress the lower level. Electric shock was not considered a big deal in their era.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe."
"What about you, great scientist Xie, what do you think?" Long Yilan nudged the silent Xie Er with her elbow.
"Okay." Xie Er, who was silent, was looking through interstellar data, and he actually found a case.
Long Yilan and Jiang Yunqi had also heard of this case.
Xie Er pondered for a moment, blurted out a few words, and told the case to Gu Bingchen and Tang Yichao.
"Wow, who is this person? So amazing!" Tang Yichao opened his mouth and was amazed, "You know so much?"
"Oh, right, aren't you a doctor? Why does Sister Alan call you a scientist?"
Tang Yichao asked in confusion.
Jiang Yunqi smiled lightly at this time and said, "Brother Xie has comprehensive skills."
There seemed to be a bit of pride in his clear voice.
Why call him so intimately?
Jiang Yunqi never called him "Brother Gu" on weekdays.
Gu Bingchen didn't realize that he was jealous now, which was even more sour than lemon. He closed the video, opened the document, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "It's useless to guess, isn't there a conclusion?"
The document was densely packed with square characters, which made Long Yilan dizzy.
She covered her eyes and withdrew from the encirclement, muttering: "You guys look, you guys look, and tell me what's written in it after you finish reading it."
Tang Yichao glanced at it, didn't understand, and looked at his boss.
He frowned slightly and read out the first paragraph of the document word for word: "In order to study the relationship between superpowers and mental strength, Dean Gu has organized the following experiments."
Long Yilan asked curiously, "What experiments are there?"
Xie Er said with a gloomy face, "Experiments on combining mutants with human bodies, zombies with mutants, and human brains."
"Damn, that sentence is indeed correct!" Tang Yichao said.
Long Yilan: "What?"
"Half of the scientists are crazy."
"They are secretly conducting cruel human experiments under the guise of studying crystal core energy. Those missing survivors, not 100%, at least 80% to 90% were secretly captured."
Chu Wanyue's voice came from upstairs. She leaned on the railing and looked down with a cold expression.
The content of the document was incomplete. Gu Hua must have copied it hastily. Jiang Yunqi imitated Gu Bingchen's actions on the computer the last two times and clicked on the photo with a little unfamiliarity.
Zooming in on the photo, it looked like a familiar symbol.
Jiang Yunqi thought of the strange symbol on the spine of a book he had seen in Gu Mingyuan's office at the beginning.
He took out the book he had hastily put in from the space button.
Tang Yichao exclaimed: "This symbol is exactly the same!"
Several people who heard the movement gathered around to compare it. Except for the difference in size, it was almost carved out of the same mold.
"Does this symbol mean some kind of organization?" Long Yilan crossed her arms, and had the same reaction as Jiang Yunqi who had just seen the symbol. They all felt that the symbol seemed familiar.
She turned her head to look at Xie Er, whose brows were tightly locked and whose expression was too solemn, and asked, "Have you seen it?"
Xie Er calmly suppressed the shock that flashed across his eyes and shook his head slowly, "No."
"Really?" Long Yilan was skeptical and pondered for a moment, thinking that Xie Er was fooling her.
"So, do we help you with this?" Tang Yichao was referring to going to the research institute to rescue people.
Gu Bingchen moved his eyes to the child on the stairs and sneered, "Now it's not a question of whether we are willing or not."
"It's about whether some people will let us live or not."
Before Tang Yichao could ask what he meant, there was a sound of strong knocking on the door outside the yard.
Long Yilan took the initiative to run over, pried open a crack in the door, and said unhappily: "Why are you knocking? It's the middle of the night, and you woke me up!"
The person outside the door was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly said: "A large number of zombies have been detected in the direction of Ningcheng. They are moving quickly towards the base. The superiors require all teams to go and kill them!"
"Is it urgent?" "
Of course! Ningcheng is only a few hundred kilometers away from the base. According to the movement speed of the zombies, the base will be besieged in less than two days. By then, it will be over!" The person who spoke looked anxious and sweaty. After saying "leaving in half an hour", he ran to knock on the door of the neighboring villa.
"Hey, that's my house. There's no one inside. Go to other villas." Long Yilan leaned against the door frame and watched the man move.
Afterwards, she closed the door, immediately returned to the living room, and recounted the story.
Jiang Yunqi and Gu Bingchen looked at each other.
"Look, I'll tell you." Gu Bingchen spoke lazily, looking relaxed and calm, "Whether there are corpses or not, this information is not true, but they want us dead, that's for sure." "
Boy, now, there is only one choice in front of you, go find the deputy base commander." Gu Bingchen thought of the bald middle-aged man with a big belly, and smiled, "Go find him, your sister Gu still has a chance of survival."
"After all, you can see that we are being targeted because of you."
The washed and clean Aning was fair and clean, but his arms and legs were thin, and he didn't have much meat on his body. Sister Gu told him that no matter what, he should just come out and listen to the words of the adults in front of him.
He nodded, his voice a little choked: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Chu Wanyue went through the side door, went around to Jiang Yunqi's villa, and took Aning with him. After turning around and shaking off the little tail behind him, he climbed over the wall and entered Yao Dong's house.
Yao Dong was playing chess with Lao Yao at this time. His neck was a little sore. Just when he wanted to stretch his body, he looked up and saw two faces. He almost fainted.
"Miss Chu, what are you doing..." He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't have time to say too much. Brother Gu and Jiang Yunqi both agreed to your last cooperation. I'll leave this kid with you for now." Chu Wanyue brought Aning to her side and spoke quickly, "The first thing you need to do is find an opportunity to save someone. Time is running out. I'm leaving now. If you have any questions, ask Aning."
After saying that, she turned around and left, so fast that Yao Dong didn't have time to be happy.
