Chapter 79 Entering the Laboratory
After the Great Cataclysm, humanity briefly reached the pinnacle of the food chain due to anomalous evolution, rapidly developing and changing, laying the foundation for today's prosperous interstellar glory era.
But not long after humans evolved, the Zerg from outside the Redstone Galaxy appeared in the twelve star systems. The war against the Zerg also began after humans evolved, and the war between humans and Zerg has continued to this day.
There are hundreds of types of human evolution so far. Even within a close family, there are huge differences in abilities after evolution.
But the royal family is an exception.
The royal ancestor who opened up the era of interstellar prosperity was a queen. She led humans to fight against the Zerg and defended several human fortress planets.
The queen left behind two princesses. The eldest princess inherited the queen's warlike genes and fought all her life. She founded an expeditionary force, drove the Zerg outside the Twelve Galaxies, and signed a peace treaty with the Zerg Queen. However, on the way back from the Redstone Galaxy, the eldest princess's exclusive starship exploded, and she and her accompanying generals all died in the explosion.
The eldest princess never married and had no children. As the only heir, the second princess married early and stayed in the capital planet after the eldest princess's death in order to reproduce royal offspring. Since then, the royal family has lost its military power and has been almost completely hollowed out.
The era of interstellar glory has developed to this day and has actually left the monarchy era. The major chaebol families control the economic lifeline and work in cahoots with the ministers to play with the fate of mankind in the palm of their hands.
But the royal family still exists and has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of ordinary people. Of course, even the chaebols dare not ignore the royal family as their mascot.
Because the descendants of royal blood are born to be natural enemies of the Zerg.
The number of royal heirs was decreasing. Although the ministers tried their best and even gave the royal family members the privilege of marrying N wives (husbands), the royal bloodline was still visibly dwindling.
The royal family is like the sun in the sky to ordinary people throughout the galaxy, dazzling and high above. Not to mention the prisoners in the training camp, even three-year-old children know about the royal family.
Hearing the consumptive man say these two words, Old Man Shi was the first to refute, "Impossible, how could there be a royal family member on Planet A62? You are talking nonsense."
The royal family lives on Rose Planet, a planet built specifically for the royal family. Whether it is the living environment or the living comfort, it ranks first in the entire galaxy. It can be said that Rose Planet is a place where everyone in the galaxy wants to go on a day trip.
The consumptive man said that Mr. Chen was a member of the royal family, but Mr. Shi and Yao Leng didn't believe it.
Those with royal blood are fragile and can only live on the Rose Planet which is suitable for them.
There is no way there could be any royal family members in such a harsh place as Planet A62.
Only Jiang He, having lost her memory, had no awe in the royal family as a commoner. Her first contact with the royal family was through the forum of the Abyss of Evil, where someone talked about royal gossip that was too boring, so she deleted the post before reading half of it.
She asked the consumptive ghost, "What is Mr. Chen's ability?"
Old Man Shi and Yao Leng didn't expect Jiang He to be so calm and ignore the news that Mr. Chen was a member of the royal family. They stared at Jiang He in disbelief.
I have already started to struggle in my heart. If I really break into the laboratory and catch Mr. Chen, should I kill him or not?
If what the consumptive man said was true, then he was a rare royal family member.
"The royal family members all have the same abilities." Consumptive Ghost didn't need to answer this question. Old Man Shi responded to Jiang He on his behalf, "Baba, the royal family members all have strong mental powers. While their powerful mental powers allow them to destroy the Zerg, they also put a heavy strain on their bodies. Frail and sickly people have difficulty bearing children. Anyway, the royal family members are now a protected and rare species."
Jiang He: "It's just that his mental strength is strong, but there are no obvious alienation characteristics?"
"No, the royal family doesn't have any alienated or deformed characteristics." This time it was Yao Leng who answered her, "They have always had the genetic sequence of primitive people, and their bodies have no evolutionary tendencies."
primitive?
This was not the first time Jiang He had heard these three words. Just now, Xiao A had also mentioned this word.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously asked, "Primitive man?"
"Those who cannot be alienated or deformed are primitive people, also called defective products." Old Man Shi said casually, "But royal people are different from ordinary people, and they cannot be defined as primitive or defective."
When it comes to defective products, Jiang He understands.
Xiao A calls mental power divine consciousness and the defective product primitive man.
She thought primitive people were so great, but it turned out that there was a generation gap between her and Xiao A.
Jiang He looked at the consumptive ghost and summarized their words: "So, Mr. Chen is a defective product with strong mental strength but no supernatural powers?"
Shi Lao Ren and Yao Leng's pupils dizzied. No, it's not nice to say that about the royal family.
Yao Leng was able to hold it in, but the quick-witted Shi Lao Ren completely disagreed. He protested weakly, "Ba Ba, the royal family is not defective."
Although we are all unforgivable criminals with no bottom line, we absolutely cannot agree with calling royal family members defective products.
"They are certainly not defective goods."
Jiang He didn't get their point, and her focus wasn't on that. "How can I get into the lab? Are the guards there human or mutant beasts?"
She changed the subject too quickly and was so serious that even though Shi Lao Ren and Yao Leng wanted to correct her, they couldn't speak anymore and felt a little uncomfortable holding it in their hearts.
When they find a chance, they will still tell Baba that the royal family members are definitely not defective!
"The warden has never seen the laboratory guard." The consumptive man began to cough again. Everyone was used to his violent coughing and waited in silence for him to finish coughing.
But this time, as he was coughing, he suddenly tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The blood sprayed on the wall next to it, and under the searchlight, it looked like red plum blossoms blooming in the darkness.
Jiang He had dealt with the consumptive patient twice, and she always saw him coughing, but never saw him spitting blood. She hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"
Consumptive ghost: "Cough cough!"
Still coughing, Jiang He saw that he looked sick and shaky. After a slight hesitation, he picked him up and held him horizontally in his arms. This way, he didn't waste time and could also save him energy.
Consumptive ghost: "Cough cough cough cough..."
Jiang He: "Don't move. I need to get to the lab as soon as possible. You should calm down first."
Old Man Shi, "Hey, I was wondering why the consumptive ghost was holding Baba so strangely before. It turns out he was holding him the wrong way around. Now he looks much more comfortable."
Yao Leng glanced at the Stone Elder. It seemed even Star Grass couldn't compensate for the deformed man's lack of brainpower. His previous strange feelings were clearly due to the consumptive ghost's overly intimate, skilled, and overbearing care for Jiang He, leaving him and the Stone Elder no room to intervene.
Jiang He raised his eyebrows and asked the consumptive ghost, "Can you still hold me?"
Consumptive ghost: "Cough cough cough..."
The mine tunnel was winding. On the way back, we didn't encounter any distorted objects, probably because Xiaolu and Bicui had cleared the way ahead of us. However, it still took a long time to reach the Red Flame Bone Pit.
Jiang He looked up in front of the pit, staring at the sky which looked like the top of the hole in the wall.
Yao Leng asked her, "Is there something on top?"
He and Old Man Shi had not experienced the Red Flame Bone before, so in their eyes, the cave ceiling was ordinary and there was nothing unusual about it, so they didn't quite understand why Jiang He was staring at the cave ceiling.
Jiang He knew that the top of the cave was the laboratory, but the top was too high from the ground. The laboratory was worried that the mutant beasts would break into the laboratory from here, so they must have made the defense here very strong. It was not realistic to break into the laboratory from here.
Jiang He pointed his chin at the ceiling of the cave and responded to Yao Leng, "The laboratory is right above here."
She asked the consumptive in her arms, "Do we have to go back to training camp to enter the lab?"
"Yes."
There were still traces of blood at the corners of the consumptive man's mouth, but he himself did not notice it. Due to the violent coughing and spitting of blood, his face looked extremely pale, like a fragile paper man that could break at any time. Therefore, Jiang He spoke to him in a soft and gentle voice.
The consumptive man lowered his eyes, looking listless. He took a deep breath and said, "The laboratory is very large. When the old training camp collapsed, only the entrance to the laboratory collapsed. The actual laboratory was not disturbed at all. After the new training camp was built, the old training camp's architecture was continued, and the entrance to the laboratory was placed on the first or second floor underground. The laboratory has many sewage outlets, but there is only one entrance, and it is inside the training camp."
The warden had a lot of mixed messages in his mind at the time, so the consumptive man sorted them out and told everyone all the information he had received.
The more Old Man Shi listened, the more confused he became. "If the entrance to the laboratory can only be opened from the inside, and entry is only permitted, then we can't get in? Is the warden's brain, which we worked so hard to acquire, really useless?"
Yao Leng: "Is it okay to score with violence?"
But he immediately denied it, "When we were in the training camp, the suppressor would be activated to the strongest setting, and the power we could exert was limited. Besides, the machine gun inside could lock on to us at any time. Breaking through the door by force was unlikely, so we had to sneak in."
"There is a way." Jiang He said slowly, "They will take him in as a suitable experimental subject."
Yao Leng shook the warden's head in his hand. "Then let's destroy her before we leave? We can kill her at the bottom of the mine, and the prison guards in the training camp won't know."
It was not easy to destroy it. Jiang He could not summon the magma fire for the time being, so the few of them could only dig a hole and bury the warden's head in it.
The consumptive patient made no comment on their behavior at all.
On the way back, Jiang He saw the two baskets that the gray rat had been carrying, and the shovels in the baskets were still there.
She glanced over her shoulder and asked the consumptive, "Has the warden had any idea about the gray rat?"
Consumptive, "At that moment? No."
In the moment before his death, the warden had no information about the gray rat in his mind.
Jiang He pursed his lips and asked, "Is there no news about the brown bear?"
"No."
This time, the consumptive's voice was a little displeased.
Jiang He guessed that he had told her all the information about the warden, but she kept asking him questions, making him feel that she did not trust him.
Jiang He didn't ask any more questions. He turned to Yao Leng and said, "Lan Hu was dragged into the laboratory."
Yao Leng's face was filled with surprise. He had been in the training camp much longer than Jiang He, but it was the first time he heard of the "laboratory". It was too unbelievable, so he still didn't understand much about it.
Hearing the people around him being pulled into the lab, he subconsciously asked Jiang He, "Are we almost there too?"
Jiang He: "Maybe."
The mine tunnel ahead is winding, with potholes and gravel and dirt everywhere. Every step needs to be taken steadily to avoid falling. The searchlight illuminates the dark tunnel with a dim light.
Jiang He heard Yao Leng say, "This shitty training camp really needs to be overturned."
Jiang He: "Then let's overturn it together."
…
Since they were already there, they each dug a basket of jun when they left the mine, completing the task of 100 points.
After all, it’s points, it would be a waste not to take them.
Before leaving the mine, Jiang He shrunk the nail-eating green python and Bi Cui and wrapped them around her legs. The man-eating plant and the male iron-eating ant had been fighting all the way over the issues of "whether she would get married" and "how many children she would have".
After asking Xiao A, Jiang He took the two little guys as pets and put them in the Blue Silver Manor. The shadow hand could not enter the Blue Silver Manor, but it could shrink and become thinner and be put in Jiang He's pocket.
Although the interior of the old training camp collapsed because the presence of the Deformed Beasts was not detected, the new training camp did not learn from this lesson.
As long as Jiang He can pass the detection gate when entering the training camp with the shadow hand, he doesn't have to worry about the shadow hand being detected in the training camp.
Xiaolu is the one who has the most say on how to break into the outskirts of the training camp. With him teaching shadow hand, Jiang He has no worries.
While taking a shower in the bathhouse, Jiang He changed his dirty clothes and turned to ask the consumptive ghost next to him, "What did you say you were before? A deformed person or an alien?"
"An ordinary person." The consumptive man stood beside her, staring at the wall in front of him. "An ordinary maintenance worker."
Jiang He always felt that he had not introduced himself like this before, but he couldn't remember it at the moment, so he had to accept this statement.
"By the way, why is my body always so hot?" Jiang He asked him, "Can you repair it?"
The consumptive ghost's face froze. "You have a fever. Drink more water."
Jiang He nodded, thinking that what he said made sense. After returning to the training camp, he kept drinking water.
During dinner, Jiang He saw Qin Han sitting in the circle of strange people.
She carried her own food tray and sat opposite Qin Han.
There were crowds of people around, and Qin Han was the only one at his table.
He noticed the movement and looked up, and was a little surprised to see it was Jiang He.
"Going to the bottom of the mine?"
The voice is gentle and clear, just like when we first met.
Jiang He nodded, "Yes."
"Did you see a brown bear?"
"yes."
"You didn't bring his head back."
Jiang He put down the meat he had picked up, looked up, and stared at Qin Han, "Why did you kill the brown bear?"
Qin Han replied calmly: "It's a requirement from above."
Although each organization in the training camp has a boss, and the alien boss is the leader of the entire training camp, in the final analysis, he is still a prisoner and is still at the bottom.
The real bosses who control the training camp are the ones who give orders behind the prison guards.
Jiang He stared at Qin Han expressionlessly.
This man was totally out of tune with the entire training camp. He had a gentle and dignified temperament, which was completely incompatible with the heinous criminals. At this moment, in the hall, the prisoners were noisily getting their meals, but he was sitting there, like a pearl among the gravel, a lotus in the mud, dazzling and bright, making the entire cafeteria look radiant and glorious.
The other person didn't care about her gaze and ate the food on his plate slowly.
Jiang He withdrew his gaze and ate the meat calmly.
She sat opposite Qin Han, attracting a lot of people's attention.
Everyone was secretly looking at her, wondering who she was and why she could be on par with Qin Han.
There are a few people who know her, and I will be happy to share some information with you.
"He is the Iron Fist Tyrant who is wanted by the robots."
"Fuck, he's so handsome!"
"Be careful, Iron Fist Tyrant's charm skills are super powerful, and he himself is super ugly. If you think he's good-looking, you've already fallen for his charm."
"Eagle Hook wasn't able to defeat Iron Fist Tyrant either. It's said that he not only killed Eagle Claw and Zhang Jiu, but also wiped out Brother Huo's entire team. His charm skills are even more powerful against robots. Those robots are facing a tough opponent."
"Why is he sitting across from that guy? Could he be an alien?"
"Iron Fist Tyrant is a deformed man. Hey, why did his petrified iron fist disappear?"
"He's sitting in front of that guy. Could he be going there to collect the reward? Did he kill the brown bear?"
There was a moment of silence around them.
Someone added weakly, "It is said that the brown bear was also bewitched by him. If he kills the brown bear, his success rate is quite high."
"Will that person also be charmed by him?"
All the members of the alien organization were paying close attention to Qin Han and Jiang He's every move.
Iron Fist Tyrant's charm is notorious. This guy can destroy Brother Fire's team with his charm. No matter how powerful the boss is, he can't resist the opponent's despicable charm skill.
Datou came close to Yao Leng. Datou had the best relationship with Qiu Fei. Because of Qiu Fei's death, he had not been so active in completing tasks recently.
He whispered to Yao Leng: "Have you asked her? How is it?"
Yao Leng nodded, "She agreed."
Overturning the training camp is not an easy task, and this idea did not come to them by chance. Seeing the people around them die one by one, the fear and anger hanging over their heads by death accumulated to the extreme. Instead of boiling a frog in warm water and slowly waiting for the knife to fall on their heads, it is better to make their own choice.
Big Head breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew she would agree."
Having said that, Datou, like Yao Leng, was actually unsure at the beginning.
That woman is so weird, you can never figure out what she's thinking.
Although everyone is a prisoner, in a place like a training camp, everyone has their own desires: they want to control power, get more points, join the organization, and live a good life...
In short, everyone is struggling for these messy desires, except for that woman, who always does things unexpectedly. Before this, they actually had no confidence that they could pry her away.
Yao Leng turned his head to look at Datou. The cafeteria was too crowded and not a good place to talk. Yao Leng knew a lot about the training camp during his trip to the mine, so he needed to inform Datou, "Come to my place in the middle of the night."
"good."
Old Man Shi was also surrounded by Liang Dao, Chang Zai and others.
"Mr. Shi, you don't look old at all." Changzi touched his arm, marveling at the thought. He then tried to touch Mr. Shi's face, but was shoved away by Mr. Shi.
Liang Dao asked him, "How did you do that?"
"Star grass can reverse deformities." Old Man Shi still had a dreamlike illusion when he talked about this: "I'm really lucky this time."
Everyone around was discussing whether Iron Fist Boss had killed the brown bear and was collecting the reward from Qin Han.
Seeing several people staring at him intently, Old Man Shi slowly shook his head and said, "No."
Suddenly, he saw a familiar person out of the corner of his eye. It was Gray Mouse.
This guy, he actually came out of the abyss? Old Man Shi thought he died at the bottom of the abyss.
Old Man Shi was very surprised. He left Changzi and the others aside and walked quickly towards the gray rat sitting in the corner.
The gray squirrel did not look in good condition, like a drowned chicken, with its head drooping and no energy at all.
Sensing the approach of the Stone Old Man, the gray mouse looked up.
The old man asked him, "When did you come back?"
"Not long." Gray Mouse pursed his lips, "Are you all okay?"
"Yeah, everything is fine."
The two were not close friends, and although they were relieved that the gray mouse came back alive, when they were actually squatting together, it seemed like there was nothing much to talk about.
Old Man Shi had no choice but to bury his head and eat the rice on his plate.
Gray Rat asked him again, "Is Baba okay?" Old Man Shi followed his gaze and glanced at Baba, who was sitting opposite Qin Han. He didn't like Qin Han very much and couldn't help but think: How could Iron Fist Baba eat while sitting in front of Qin Han? Iron Fist Baba seemed to be saying something, but the distance was a bit far and his expression couldn't be seen clearly. He slowly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Fine?"
Jiang He almost finished the food on the plate before saying to Qin Han, "I want to go into the lab."
Qin Han raised his eyelids and stared at her expressionlessly. He raised his hand slightly, and an invisible layer of ice enveloped the surroundings. The voices around them were noisy, but the person staring at them could not see their mouth shapes or hear their words. He asked Jiang He in a cold voice, "Did Brown Bear tell you?"
"Warden."
No one in the training camp knew that the warden had been killed by her. This information gap allowed Jiang He to successfully seize the position of warden.
Jiang He added, "She asked me to come find you."
Qin Han still had no expression on his face, but Jiang He keenly noticed that in that instant, the other party's heartbeat and breath had fluctuated, and he was no longer as cold and indifferent as he appeared.
The other party was silent, but Jiang He was not in a hurry and drank the soy milk in small sips as if nothing had happened.
After a moment, Qin Han asked her, "Do you know what's there?"
Jiang He nodded.
Qin Han sneered: "Oh, you don't think there is medicine that can cure brown bears?"
Jiang He slowly raised his head and looked at him, "Don't test me, this is not your style."
Qin Han's eyes became sharp, and the temperature in the small space covered by the transparent ice layer dropped sharply in an instant. Everything was condensing into ice, and there was frost on Jiang He's eyelashes.
She still stared at the guy expressionlessly, neither panicked nor afraid, as if saying, "Use all your tricks at once, I'm not afraid of you at all."
"I'll report you." Qin Han lowered his eyelids, and the frost around him instantly disappeared. "But I don't know the specific time."
Jiang He guessed correctly. Although Qin Han was the leader of the prisoners in the training camp, he was also a puppet in the hands of those in power.
She cleared the dishes and left the table.
As soon as Liu Baowa returned to the dormitory, he saw the woman sitting beside the bed with an expressionless face.
He glanced around subconsciously and didn't see the two snakes and pythons, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was half asleep in the middle of the night when a slight noise startled him awake.
He thought the woman was going to do something vicious again, so he didn't dare open his eyes and only used his mental power to feel.
The door of the dormitory was opened from the outside, and two people in white protective suits came in, lifted the woman onto a stretcher, and pushed her away silently.
The usually sensitive woman seemed to have been drugged and slept like a dead pig, not waking up the whole time.
