Piercing sirens rang out in the empty halls of the research center, red light bulbs flashed in the corners, and the sound of leather boots stomping on the marble floor was everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Urgent notice, all hands go to the B-3 floor! Repeat, urgent notice, all hands go to the B-3 floor, this is not a drill! ”

A large number of security personnel were rushing to the evacuation staircase. Far from being a government-owned military and police unit, Blackwater International's mercenaries wore black uniforms, body armor and miniature submachine guns, and followed radio orders in an orderly manner.

This is the scene that Evan Delof saw after rushing back to the institute, security captain Jackson was standing at the empty front desk in charge, and when he saw Delov and Harry Purness who were close behind, he immediately greeted him.

"Two directors, as you can see, the alarm at the research center has been triggered, and the guardhouse has proven to be on the B-8 floor."

"Understood, Level B-8." Delov's face was gloomy, because the underground area was his territory: "I just received a communication at Joey's Bar, but it was disconnected after only ten seconds, what did you guys gain?" ”

"Security personnel are rushing to the B-4 entrance, which is locked, and I've sent someone to find the cutter gun in case you don't return in time. Please wait a moment for me to cancel the order. ”

In a few words, the sound of cars braking suddenly was everywhere outside the institute, and after receiving the alarm, all the programmers rushed back non-stop. But there is obviously not a single medical expert here, and their cars and people are underground at the moment.

"What the hell is going on?" Harry hurriedly asked, "And Delov, do you know why little Ada suddenly ran so deep into the ground without explaining to me yet!?" ”

The contact phone call lasted only a dozen seconds, and the only thing it contained was to let Ada, a little Asian girl from Exeter, a regular visitor to the Institute, inform her of her location, some hidden room under the Institute, and that's it. If she had to say anything more, it was just the fact that she had set off the alarm, and before she could even explain why, the communication was cut off.

"I told you...... She has the password, and you know that this girl has a good relationship with Alice. With a calm face, Delov walked quickly towards the evacuation staircase: "Captain Jackson, are you sure you don't know what's going on down there?" I have dozens of researchers down there, and none of them can get through the phone!? ”

"Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened." The tall veteran followed: "We've just been alerted, Code-Three, and the entrance to Level B-4 has been automatically locked unless you use the code, Director." ”

As they spoke, the three of them had already walked down the B-2 floor, then the B-3 floor, and after reaching here, the evacuation staircase could no longer be passed. Crossing the entire B-3 floor, which is used as a storage area, anyone would need to walk to B-4 in a separate building to access the umbrella medical laboratory area. Such a complicated structure is of course designed to allow the researcher to work as distractedly, but it does cause a lot of trouble for the security personnel at this time.

"I should have complained to Alice...... Delof sighed softly, and he soon made his way to the entrance of the building. It is said that it is the entrance to the building, but in fact, after the Pfizer group people visited, Alice rebuilt it again, and it is a polished metal door, which is very expensive.

The security personnel had already gathered here, and thirty soldiers were dressed neatly and holding micro-charges, as if they were going to the battlefield. Although the behavior is exaggerated, Alice asked for it when she set the Code-Three level alarm.

Delof glanced at the console, "Thankfully you didn't actually bring the welding torch, this door is pure titanium, half a foot thick. If there's any mortal danger inside, you'll only be left with a mess when you get inside. ”

With that, he walked quickly to the door and quickly entered the code.

Of course, mechanical, this is the super vault door that Alice ordered from Switzerland, the world's first electronic combination lock device, and is still waiting to try it out.

Moments later, however, the door was unlocked, and Delov pressed his arms to allow the door to open quickly along the pulleys on the floor.

Then, Captain Jackson took the lead, and the three soldiers walked inside first. Then, more and more soldiers slowly walked in, and the two directors also followed,

Of course, Delov knew what he had in his institute, and the equipment of biohazmat suits was.

Everything was fine in the little labs, all the equipment was in its rightful place, and there was even a table where someone had just poured coffee. There was not a single piece of paper on the floor, not even a chair toppling, and it was clear that whatever the alarm was set on, at least it didn't lead to violence or panic.

“…… No one. ”

"yes, no one."

"Hmm...... Yes, no one. ”

However, a strange situation is also in front of everyone, although all the hardware equipment is safe and sound, but the group of diligent researchers are nowhere to be seen!

Harry grinded his teeth and said, "I must tell the boss about this today, we can't hide it." ”

Delov was also pale, and he said with a tense face: "Captain Jackson, hurry up and let your team members pounce on the net to find someone, our entire research center, almost every floor is the same size, from B-4 to ...... At least to the B-7, there is what you are looking for. ”

Captain Jackson nodded, holding the walk-in and said, "Carpet search, begin!" ”

It's not an easy job. Although the research center is large, it is not a military base, and the number of security guards is remarkable, and it is only the establishment of a company, which is still counting those mercenaries who work part-time cleaners. B-4 to B-7 are the size of four large stadiums, and with labs large and small, and complex corridors, it's no easy task.

So very targetedly, Delov, Harry, and Captain Jackson decided to take the elevator directly downstairs, at least to find the little Ida who was notified by the alarm.

"You two need to be careful." As he walked briskly to the elevator, Delov said solemnly: "Floors B-8 and B-9 are the core areas of our medical research institute, and on weekdays, only Alice and I have permission to enter. I didn't know that little Ida could actually go in, you two have to keep in mind the most basic confidentiality rules, understand? ”

Coercive power is by no means exclusive to the government, unless you don't want to continue to mix, anyone must follow the rules and regulations of the company they belong to, and in serious cases, they will even be taken to court. It is a reason to prohibit employees from entering a certain place, and ordinary small employees cannot trespass into the chairman's office, and once discovered, the consequences are of course the same.

Harry and Captain Jackson both nodded, and they both noticed that the elevator that Delov had led them to was apparently installed separately. Of course, with such a large research institute, it is common sense to decorate multiple elevator shafts, so it will not arouse the suspicion of those who do not know.

With that, Delov pulled out a bunch of keys, and that's when he started the elevator. Seeing this, Harry suddenly burst into laughter.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh...... It's okay, I just suddenly understood why the boss is so keen on electronic combination locks. ”

"Oh...... Oh! That's a good thing! ”

Then, the eight basement floors opened the doors for them.

The lights around are always bright, not like the monster-attacked form colony in Alien, but it is precisely such a bright, clean, and refreshing feeling that when the elevator doors slowly open, it gives people a creepy feeling.

“O，M，G！ What is this? ”

Harry was here for the first time, and looked around curiously. Completely different from the image of the ordinary laboratory on the upper floor, as soon as you get out of the elevator here, you will see a square water tank. The white flowers are floating in the tank, the rhizomes are slender, and the root system is developed and dense, like narcissus, and the strange thing is that they are not in full bloom.

"You...... Soak them all in water? ”

Harry asked questions like an ignorant child, and Captain Jackson looked around cautiously, and Delov looked at them and explained, "The unknown plants that the boss discovered two years ago, the native plants that have not bloomed until now, are clones. ”

"Cloning technology!? Oh my God, we're still playing with this technology!? No wonder...... And what about the next level? Isn't the boss still clone......

"Plant cloning...... Harry, didn't your high school biology teacher teach the concept of grafting? ”

Captain Jackson walked silently, never speaking, only twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Ida!"

He shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Ada! ”

With his voice, the other two also seemed to have just remembered the purpose of this trip, and they immediately shouted.

"Ada! Where are you!? With his own turf in his own hands, Delov strode directly: "We have all received your news!" Was it you who triggered the alert? Why didn't it come up? What about the other researchers!? ”

The B-8 floor was not small, and Harry was walking between the tanks and shouted, "Anyone!?" Ada, did you run downstairs? Ida you ......"

"Come here!"

It was Captain Jackson's voice, and the two directors of the institute were running in the same direction at a rapid pace!

"Found Ada!? She's unconscious!? Delov was puzzled at the moment, after all, the only thing known at the moment was that the alarm was sounded, Ida didn't have time to leave any useful information, and the researchers didn't have a ......

“…… What the? ”

Found out.

Captain Jackson's eyes were heavy.

Dozens of researchers in white coats gathered at the staircase leading to Level B-9. The door was closed, and the men collapsed to the ground, apparently unconscious.

Harry arrived and was completely stunned by the scene: "...... This...... What the hell is this...... What's the situation? ”

Feeling the concentrated gaze of the two, Delov took a deep breath, his face was already extremely pale.

"No matter what the case may be...... Let's inform Alice first! ”
