Chapter 342 Laboratory
Lan Jin is so strong, and he doesn't want to die, so naturally he doesn't want to be separated from her. If he doesn't want to separate from her, there is certainly no reason for him to separate the other team members. This behavior is just disregarding others.
Captain Zhang said helplessly, "You should watch less TV. There are only a few of us, why do we have to search for things separately? It's perfectly fine to search together."
This made everyone feel very embarrassed.
Another thing is, there are no TV series to watch right now.
Lan Jin said, "Let's go in first. Besides, I don't think we can get in. It seems like we need to scan the access control."
A group of people followed Lan Jin and Captain Zhang and walked towards the gate.
The double-opening glass door does not open automatically when someone comes over.
Looking at the access control panel in the upper right corner, Lan Jin swiped the IC card he had used to open the box before.
After a "beep" sound, the door did not open automatically as she expected.
Pei Xin said, "The access control here is for entry. Your card is for opening the box. It's normal that it can't be opened. Try using my grandfather's work ID."
Lan Jin quickly changed to Grandpa Pei's work ID and swiped it. After the machine made a "beep" sound, the door opened smoothly.
…
When entering this small villa, everyone's first impression is its size, and then its whiteness.
Because this hall, apart from the staircases on both sides, has no decorations at all. Besides the whitewashed walls and fluorescent light bulbs lit everywhere, the whole room is empty, as if—
It felt like a morgue, and I felt like something was blowing on the back of my neck, which was really chilly.
Moreover, there was no sound at all in this small villa, it was unspeakably quiet.
Pei Xin asked in a low voice: "There should be no one here, right?"
Ling Jiang said quietly, "That's hard to say. Maybe everyone here is staying somewhere. After all, anyone who puts such an important thing here must be a bit sane."
"Nonsense, it's so dangerous here, of course it should be put here. As the old saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is." After Captain Zhang finished speaking, he looked upstairs.
On the first floor, besides being empty, the most conspicuous thing was the staircases on the left and right. These two staircases connected to the second floor, so there was no need to go up separately. Captain Zhang said, "This way, let's go upstairs and take a look."
The group walked cautiously towards the second floor, and there was nothing unusual along the way.
Only after everyone reached the second floor could they clearly observe the layout of the building.
From the first to the fourth floor of this building, the hall... which is also the living room, is completely empty from bottom to top. A 500-square-meter villa only occupies about 250 square meters of the area, and the other 50 square meters are given to the stairs on both sides.
Although the two staircases can intersect, they are not enough to build a room. Therefore, there are three paintings hanging on the wall of the corridor in the middle of the stairs. They are similar to the oil paintings in the style of Europe and the United States, but there are no people in these portraits, only animals. Moreover, each of these animals has appeared in Maolin, and each of them has a human face, which was also painted by the person who painted the picture.
I don’t know who put such a painting in such a place, but the person who put the painting there definitely has more than just a heavy taste.
Just imagine, it must have taken a lot of effort to study and paint a human-faced animal so vividly, not to mention being able to ingeniously place it in such a conspicuous place as a decoration.
After just a quick glance, Lan Jin didn't want to look anymore. She said, "Even if you look so closely, it's just a painting. How can you really see any flowers? Why don't we go look somewhere else first?"
There is definitely nothing else in the hall, but there are rooms on both sides of the hall, one on the left and two on the right. All three rooms have automatic glass doors and you need to swipe a card to enter.
Compared with the area of the hall, the actual area of these three rooms is not that large.
They first went to the room on the left, and Lan Jin was the first to take out Grandpa Pei's work ID and swipe it.
After entering, the first thing you see is a research laboratory.
Pei Xin and Xi Yu were very familiar with the layout and experimental equipment in this room.
Pei Xin said, "We had all this equipment before the earthquake at the base."
Pei Xin and Xi Yu were very envious of these instruments, but they were not sure whether they could go out. She would never dare to say that she wanted to take the instruments out.
The same goes for the room on the right. Both rooms are experimental equipment for research, but one thing is that there is not a trace of dust in these three rooms.
Lan Jin was a little confused. Did someone clean this place? Why was there no dust? But it clearly didn't look like anyone had lived here, so why was it so?
…
Doubts flooded everyone's mind, but the answer remained unknown.
After checking the three rooms, the group went up to the third floor.
If the second floor is a research laboratory, the third floor should be a medical-related laboratory.
Each base has these two types of talents. They work in different fields, but their work content is known to each other, or they help each other.
Among the team, Pei Xin and Xi Yu were working in Grandpa Pei's laboratory, while the other person was conducting medical experiments. With just one glance, he said, "I'm very familiar with this place. I can't be mistaken. They must have conducted some unknown experiment here."
The entire third floor is like this.
They didn't find what they were looking for on the first two floors, so they immediately went to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor is the top floor of this small villa, but the design of the top floor is a bit strange. The stairs leading up are still the same stairs, and the corridors on each floor are also decorated with horrifying oil paintings of human faces. However, not only is the house on the left replaced with a wooden door design, but there is no house on the right at all. It is just an empty platform with nothing on it.
Lao Gao asked, "We've been searching from the first floor to the fourth floor, and only this wooden door seems a little strange. So, is what we're looking for inside here?"
Captain Zhang had no idea. "Let's go in and take a look. If you ask me, I don't know how to answer."
The wooden door was not like the automatic glass door, which could be entered by swiping a card. Looking at the locked door, everyone really didn't know what to do for a moment.
Lan Jin asked, "Kick it open?"
It was a bit brutal. What if there was something inside? She might break it with her kick.
Lao Gao suggested: "Then pry it open."
Who would pick a lock normally? Only someone with a problem would do that.
