In the bungalow covered by creepers, the iron door was kicked open by Ye Zhenzhen, and the house was pitch black.

Ye Zhenzhen was about to carry the axe inside, when her arm was suddenly pulled.

"Wait a minute, I'm going first. ”

Nan Zhiqiao took the axe from Ye Zhenzhen's hand and carefully walked into the dark bungalow.

The humid air was disgusting with the smell of rot and feces.

Nan Zhiqiao held back his breath and turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone, using the beam of the flashlight to illuminate the surroundings of the bungalow.

The whole creeper-covered bungalow is not large, and there are rows of iron shelves in the rectangular room, on which are placed many bottles and cans, and some gauze cages.

The whole room has only iron doors, no windows, and the side of the room near the mountain has two small ventilation holes, and the ventilation fan rotates slightly under the natural flow of air.

Ye Zhenzhen followed behind Nan Zhiqiao and also walked into the bungalow.

After her eyes adjusted to the dark environment, and by the light of the flashlight, Ye Zhenzhen saw that the whole room was a small animal laboratory, with a laboratory table, an incubator, scissors, tweezers, a gauze, and a beaker...... All kinds of experimental equipment are very complete.

Thinking of the mosquito gauze thrown out of the crack in the iron door window just now, Ye Zhenzhen whispered: "Is there anyone?"

There was no response!

Nan Zhiqiao used a flashlight to shine around all corners of the house, but no one was found.

The beam of the flashlight fell on the test table, an open lunch box, in which half of the food was eaten, and some rice grains were scattered on the test table.

Nan Zhiqiao vigilantly pulled Ye Zhenzhen to his side, making sure that the woman in front of him was within his protection.

Ye Zhenzhen also became alert.

The food on the bench was still steaming slightly, and the person must be in this room, but he didn't know where to hide.

Unable to stand the pungent smell and tense atmosphere, Ye Zhenzhen shouted, "Hey...... Anyone? We're here to save you. ”

Behind him, he suddenly remembered the sound of squirming footsteps, and at the same time, Ye Zhenzhen felt a cold shoulder, and a cold and hard thing approached her neck.

Knowing that someone was sneaking up on her from behind, Ye Zhenzhen turned her head to avoid the weapons coming from behind, and at the same time kicked her back and kicked over.

"Oops!"

A scream, followed by a muffled thud of falling to the ground.

Nan Zhiqiao turned around and shone his flashlight at the source of the sound.

I saw a man in a white coat lying to the ground, the man's hair was messy, his face was unkempt, he looked like he hadn't washed and tidied up for a long time, and he was still holding a half-broken glass test tube in his hand.

Ye Zhenzhen thought of the cold feeling on her shoulder just now, and was shocked, it turned out to be this half-broken glass test tube.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have died if my neck was cut by the sharp glass on the test tube.

Nan Zhiqiao grabbed the collar of the man on the ground, dragged him out of the bungalow, and threw it on the grass.

The summer afternoon sun was very dazzling, the man threw away the broken glass test tube in his hand, covered his eyes with both hands, it seemed that he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time, and suddenly he was exposed to the sun again, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Nan Zhiqiao deliberately knocked the axe in his hand on the grass beside him, and did not speak, but stood quietly beside the man.

The man curled up on the grass, saw the bright axe between his fingers, and immediately became nervous, and begged for mercy loudly: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I will listen to your ...... everything"

The man's medical white coat had turned grayish, his hair and beard, which had not been repaired for a long time, covered most of his face, and his eyes were hollow and helpless.

Ye Zhenzhen felt pity and asked softly, "What's your name, who are you trapped here?"

Hearing Ye Zhenzhen's gentle voice, the man obviously calmed down, took away the double head holding his head, and looked up at Ye Zhenzhen.

The two looked at each other, and Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt that the people on the ground were a little familiar.

The man was stunned for a moment when he saw the delicate face of the woman in front of him, but he quickly reacted that the person in front of him was not the group of people who controlled him.

The man asked, "Who are you?"

Nan Zhiqiao turned from behind the man to the front of the man, carefully examining the man's face.

Suddenly, Nan Zhiqiao frowned and exclaimed, "Zhang Liguo?!"

The man sat up in the same surprise, looked at Nan Zhiqiao, and said in a lost voice: "Mr. Xiao Nan!"

Unexpectedly, the sloppy imprisoned man in front of him was actually researcher Zhang Liguo, who sneaked into the No. 1 base of Tinder some time ago to steal the bacterial strain.

Ye Zhenzhen had seen the surveillance video in the Tinder No. 1 base, so she had an impression of Zhang Liguo in the video, no wonder she was a little familiar when she met today.

Nan Zhiqiao immediately asked: "Zhang Liguo, why did you go to the Tinder No. 1 base to steal the fungus strains? And where are those bacteria and viruses hidden? Also, why did you send me an email containing the smallpox virus?"

Nan Zhiqiao had too many questions in his heart, and couldn't wait for Zhang Liguo's explanation.

Zhang Liguo was weak-hearted and explained innocently: "I didn't mean it, I was forced, they arrested my wife and children, and I couldn't help it." ”

Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Who forced you?"

"Dr. David, he sent someone to take my family and threaten me with their lives, told me to go to Tinder 1 to steal the strain, and asked me to send mail with the smallpox virus. ”

These are consistent with Nan Zhiqiao's previous inference, Zhang Liguo was indeed instructed by Dr. David, the clone of the Stem Cell Research Center, the theft of the bacterial strain of Tinder No. 1 Base, and the smallpox virus email received by Zhen Zhen, all of which were manipulated by Dr. David behind his back.

Thinking of the purpose of the two of them coming to the valley today, Nan Zhiqiao asked again, "Why are you being locked up here?

Zhang Liguo hurriedly explained: "They asked me to raise mosquitoes here, the mosquitoes here are all genetically modified and can carry a variety of pathogens, I don't know what they do with these mosquitoes, but it must not be a good thing, so I quietly released some mosquitoes carrying common pathogens in advance, just to let people find out here through this means, but I didn't expect that you found here first." ”

Nan Zhiqiao's face was ugly, Zhang Liguo knew that it was because of Dr. David's actions that caused Nan Zhiqiao's father Nan Jianguo to die in the stem cell research center, and now, he fell into the hands of Nan Zhiqiao, would he be angry with himself because of Dr. David's relationship?

Zhang Liguo was scared, not only worried that Nan Zhiqiao would be angry with him, but also hoped that Nan Zhiqiao could help find his family.

Zhang Liguo suddenly knelt down in front of Nan Zhiqiao and cried loudly, "Mr. Xiao Nan, I was coerced by Dr. David, everything I did was not from my heart, I didn't want to harm Miss Ye, nor did I want to harm Nanmu Group, Mr. Xiao Nan, please, let me go, save my family." ”
