If York City is a first-tier city in the United States, then Raquel City, the destination of Ye Xingzhi and others, is a second- and third-tier small city in the south-central part of the United States.

That's right, although the United States is one of the most powerful countries in the world, this does not mean that all the cities in the United States are developed first-tier cities. On the contrary, there are still many second- and third-tier small cities in the United States, and even some poor areas.

It's a bit of a stretch, back to the goal of everyone, Raquel City.

The distance between Raquel City and York City, the starting place, is not far, because it can be reached without a plane, but it is not close, according to the distance calculation of the mobile phone navigator, there is a straight-line distance of about 1,000 kilometers, and more importantly, there is no railway in Laquel City, so it can only be transported by car.

Not only that, the city of Raquel is located between the valleys, there is only one road to the outside world, and this road is winding, resulting in the actual mileage of the people far more than a thousand kilometers, so that even along the highway with a speed of one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour, the people have seven or eight hours to drive, not to mention that this section of the highway only occupies the first half, and the back half is the one mentioned earlier, the winding road into the valley, the speed is not fast at all.

As a result, everyone's "travel" time is longer.

This is also the characteristic of the United States, a country that drives on wheels.

No, after a few hours of driving, the Rolls-Royce had just left the highway and entered the winding road towards their destination, the city of Raquel.

Generally speaking, ordinary people should feel tired after these hours of long journey, but there are no ordinary people in this car, and even Ye Xingzhi, who looks most like an ordinary person, is full of energy, which makes Gui's eyes shine.

Of course, this does not mean that the road is very peaceful, for example, Katsura found through the back window of the car that there was a convoy of four Humvees behind him, also following him and the others, heading towards Raquel City.

After all, Raquel City is only a second- and third-tier city in the United States, and there are not many people who usually come and go, but today, in addition to himself and others, there is also a convoy that also goes there, which can't help but make Gui feel a little strange.

Of course, at this time, Katsura had no time to care about the situation of that team, in fact, the most troublesome thing was in the carriage!

Because, Moira, a genetic technology expert who was invited by Ye Xingzhi to be a guide, seems to be very interested in Gui and Fino!

"Ah, Katsura, your red eyes are so beautiful, you must know that many abilities cannot be developed due to genetic limitations, would you like to come to my laboratory with Fino? I believe that I can get a lot of useful things from you, and even be able to make revolutionary breakthroughs, what a great thing, isn't it?"

Moira looked at Gui and Fino carefully.

Fino may not have understood Moira's words, but Gui Ke knew the subtext of the other party very well.

Hehe, you just say you want to do human experiments on us. I kind of understand your type, I heard Zhiran say that there is a kind of person in this world called dark scientists, their scientific research is all based on interest, and they completely ignore the responsibility and morality of science, obviously Moira is this kind of person.

I have to say that Gui's speculation is completely correct, Moira is a dark scientist, but when he thinks of Wang Zhiran, Gui can't help but feel a little lonely in his heart.

Zhiran, how are you doing in the other world?

"Oh, Katsura, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Gui's expression, Ye Xingzhi, who saw it in his eyes, asked her jokingly: "Are you thinking about your boyfriend......?"

Before Ye Xingzhi could finish speaking, Fisna on the side stretched out her right hand and grabbed Ye Xingzhi's ear.

"Ahhh

Ye Xingzhi's screams finally made the carriage smile a little more, and eased the somewhat dull atmosphere in the car.

Katsura also pulled Fino to take the opportunity to say to Moira, "I'm sorry, Professor Moira, we won't go to your lab and help you experiment." ”

Although Gui doesn't like Moira, she is the guide invited by Ye Xingzhi after all, and politeness on the surface is still needed.

Moira's brow twitched, but she didn't say anything.

In this way, after a long journey of more than ten hours, the people finally arrived at the destination of Raquel City, but it was already night when the moon was shining.

As soon as he got out of the car, Gui asked Ye Xingzhi, "Xingzhi, should we hurry up and go to the research institute to have a look." ”

Ye Xingzhi said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, anyway, it's getting late now, let's rest first." In addition, Professor Moira is already using her contacts here to help us arrange a visit to the Laquel City Institute tomorrow. As he spoke, he also pointed to Moira, who was talking on the phone.

After hearing this, Gui's brows moved slightly, and a plan appeared in her heart to get rid of Ye Xingzhi and them to act alone, but unfortunately Gui was not alone, and Fino and Mary were with her.

After all, Earth is a demonless world, and Mary and Fino can't do their best on Earth, and they need their own protection.

So, Gui could only reluctantly accept Ye Xingzhi's arrangement, in fact, Gui still had a strange idea in his heart, maybe Ye Xingzhi deliberately let Fino and Mary join in, maybe it was to restrict his actions.

In this way, the group stayed in a pre-arranged hotel.

It has to be said that a small city is a small city, and the hotels in Raquel City are completely incomparable with Yorktown, with all kinds of facilities being relatively simple and the rooms on the small side. Fortunately, the waiter is more diligent, the sanitation work is also good, and the sound insulation of the room is also good, so it will be lived.

Ye Xingzhi opened three adjacent rooms on the second floor, the same one for Gui and Mary and Fino, who lived on the far left, one for Ye Xingzhi and his followers who lived in the middle, and the third room for Moira, who lived on the far right.

Interestingly, when Gui walked into the room with his second daughter, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the old man named Hassan, whom he had met on the plane. However, when Gui looked back, the old man was gone.

Maybe it's a hallucination!

Without much thought, Katsura walked into the room.

Nothing was said all night.

That's weird!

Not long after Katsura and his party arrived in Raquel City, the convoy that was following them also arrived in Laquel City.

And they even drove straight into the Raquel City Research Institute, because this is the same team that MS.Y and Tachibana Shimada are in!

When MS.Y got out of the car, many of the staff present bowed to her, and it was clear that MS.Y was in a high position here.

MS. Y LOOKED AROUND AND ASKED ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS NEXT TO HER, "MR. Why don't you come to see me?"

The staff member replied, "Report to your lordship, Mr.X has already obtained the Otherworldly Stone from Huaxia, and is working on our god-making plan with all our might. ”

MS. Y bowed his head slightly and said, "Oh, MR.X actually succeeded, interesting." ”

At this time, Shimada Tachibana also got out of the car, and MS.Y spoke, "Okay, prepare the adjustment chamber for Subject 0." ”

"Yes!"

The staff member was immediately ordered to leave.

After a while, under the guidance of the staff, Shimada Tachibana lay down in the adjustment cabin located on the second basement floor and closed his eyes.

After seeing Tachibana Shimada lying in the adjustment cabin, MS.Y went to the second basement floor, which belonged to her own office.

Then, I pressed the switch under the desk, and then the whole office moved downward, it turned out that this office was actually an elevator, and the whole laboratory was under the second basement floor, and there was still space!

Soon, the elevator stopped running and the destination arrived!

MS. Y left the office and came to an underground plaza the size of a football field!

In this underground square, thousands of cylindrical transparent glass barrels with various pipes inserted, up to three meters high and one meter in radius, are erected.

These things are all adjustment cabins, and they are the same as the things used by Shimada Tachibana before, except that these adjustment cabins are placed vertically.

What's more, these adjustment pods are filled with a clear liquid, and there is a person who looks exactly like Tachibana Shimada floating inside!

According to the designation of 1-9998 on the adjustment module, these guys, like Shimada Tachibana, were originally created with the technology left behind by Moira.

It's no wonder that MS.Y came here when Tachibana Shimada, or Subject 0, entered the adjustment chamber.

If Tachibana Shimada had seen the scene in this underground plaza, God knows how she would have felt!

MS. Y continued on his way, passing through the plaza filled with adjustment pods, and finally came to a large clearing at the end of the plaza, where a single adjustment pod was placed.

MS. Y looked at the number on the adjustment module and said, "Number G9999, how many years has this project been on hold, .X, do you say yes?"

As he spoke, MR.X walked over and said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to retrieve the Atlas Stone. Many years ago, that otherworldly stone disappeared in Europe, and it was only by chance that I learned that the stone was in China. That's why I'm sending Speth-Walker to steal the rock. ”

At this point, MR.X paused, seemed to remember something, and continued.

"Originally, we approached Professor Moira to conduct replicant experiments with the goal of creating a body suitable for the Atlas Stone. ”

"But who knows that Moira, a woman, actually changed the setting indiscriminately, so that Subject 0 has self-awareness!In this way, how should we complete her! But fortunately, after Moira left, she finally left the relevant technology, so that we can use 0 as a prototype and produce a large number of replicas, the best of which is her G9999!"

As he spoke, MR.X looked at G9999 floating in the adjustment chamber, as if looking at a work of art.

Hearing this, MS.Y suddenly spoke, "I've seen Professor Moira again." ”

"Huh?" X frowned and asked, "The experiment at that time was already completed, and we even paid her salary, what is she still doing here?"

MS. "Moira came with a group of people," Y said. ”

MR. X immediately asked alertly, "Who are they?"
