Chapter 3: Conspiracy

Looking at the scar-faced man opposite, Chen Chong's eyes narrowed:

"You want to get out through the ventilation duct? No. ”

The entire experimental base is built underground, and naturally has a complete ventilation and exhaust system, otherwise it would not be able to operate at all. And the kitchen of this restaurant must have an exhaust pipe branch, which Chen Chong has long been aware of.

However, the problem is that from the prison to the restaurant, they have to go through four electronic access controls, more than 20 patrolling guards, and cameras in all corners, and it is impossible for them to enter the restaurant without causing any movement, otherwise even if they enter the restaurant, they are likely to see through the purpose and be directly blocked in the ventilation duct to catch turtles.

"Looks like you've thought about it for a long time. ”

Lin Kun took a deep look at Chen Chong, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes,

"It's not very likely, but it's better than waiting to die. You should understand that Catherine will soon be using the two of us for the next stage of the genetic modulation experiment, and we don't have much time left. There is absolutely no escape from the power of the individual, we need to cooperate. ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he cautiously observed his surroundings, and then said in a deep voice:

"You may not be able to live if you fight, but you won't be able to live if you don't fight! Let me tell you another piece of information, the various material reserves in the base are not falling from the sky, these white-skinned ghosts will send some guards to a certain place every other month to receive supplies and come back to replenish, the wilderness outside is extremely dangerous, so the director Direth will personally go out, and his armed team of twenty people will leave the base for most of the day, this is our chance!"

"This Awakened Ones are indeed terrifying, we can't fight against him, but we don't need to fight against him! as long as he and his elite are not there, and we can contact a few reliable cellmates, it is not impossible for us to escape!"

Dyris is the head of the entire experimental base, and everything in the base is under his jurisdiction except for the laboratory, and he is the highest-ranking person outside of Dr. Catherine, and he is also a powerful awakened person. And the armed team under him are all elite, and they are stronger than the guards in the base in terms of equipment and literacy.

Lin Kun had been planning for a long time, and he had been secretly planning since he heard the news from a guard by chance last month. However, even in Dyres's absence, his chances of success alone are still too small, so he wants to contact a few reliable prisoners to wait for an opportunity.

Chen Chong didn't show a surprised look, in fact, it was not a secret that the base had to replenish supplies every month, he had learned from the small talk between two researchers in an experiment two months ago, according to the time record he carved in the cell, it would be the day when Direth went out about three days later.

"I already know this information. ”

Chen Chong pondered for a moment:

"How powerful is this Awakened One?"

He has been in this world for too short a time, has not inherited any memories, and has never been in contact with the outside world. From the words of his fellow inmates, Chen Chong roughly knew that the so-called awakened were a special group that gradually mutated after the cataclysm, an existence above ordinary people, and a handful of human survivors.

However, what is the magic of the Awakened, and how powerful the director Direth who is feared by everyone in the prison is, Chen Chong does not know.

Chen Chong's answer surprised Lin Kun, and after a moment of silence, his eyes became gloomy:

"My knowledge is also limited, and the few Awakened I've seen do have some strange abilities, but ordinary people with firearms and weapons can also threaten them. And Direth should not be an ordinary awakened person! At the beginning, our team of thirteen scavengers encountered his team head-on in the open area, and when we were all armed with weapons and guns firing dozens of meters apart, we were all knocked down by him with bare hands in less than ten seconds, and I couldn't climb up! His strength was comparable to that of a tiger and leopard, but his speed was as fast as lightning, and I couldn't see it clearly! There was no difference at all in front of Direth about the number of people and whether there were weapons in their hands or not!

Dozens of meters apart, in ten seconds, the open area dodged bullets head-on, and knocked down thirteen adults with weapons and firearms head-on!

The news confided by Lin Kun made the corners of Chen Chong's eyes twitch, how could human beings reach such a point?

Recalling the scene at that time, Lin Kun's face was also ugly:

"You don't have to worry, the Awakened are very rare, not to mention a monster-level existence like Dyris, we can activate it while he is away. So far, only two of the thirteen of the thirteen people we have been arrested have been brought in. If we drag it any longer, we'll all die on the bench. Chen Chong, let me ask again, do you want to join?"

"One last question. ”

Chen Chong's eyes flashed, he exhaled a breath, and said slowly:

"According to your plan, if you are lucky enough to escape from the base, do you have a relatively safe escape route?

Lin Kun shook his head:

"If you can get out of the base, then everything is safe. Those of us who were brought to the base were blindfolded, and we didn't know the exact location of the base or the surrounding wilderness, so we had to gamble on our luck. However, it is certain that the people in the prison are from several different gathering points, which means that it is not too far from the survivors' gathering area, at most two or three hundred kilometers away. However, these white-skinned mongrels dared to cross the border to invade here, and our captors came to conduct experiments, killing an unknown number of compatriots, if there is a chance, ......"

Lin Kun's eyes showed a look of hatred, and he inadvertently glanced at the guards around him:

"How about Chen Chong, it goes without saying that we succeed, and even if we fail, we can pull a few more white-skinned devils on our backs, instead of dying on the experimental bench!"

Digesting the information revealed by Lin Kun, Chen Chong's heart was flooded. The scavengers, the survivors' gathering place, and the hatred between the races all show that this strange parallel time and space that has undergone a cataclysm is even more cruel and dark than he imagined.

"Good!"

After getting the information he wanted, Chen Chong chewed and swallowed the last bite of the meat chop, and drank a large bowl of bone broth:

"I can participate, but your plan to escape through the ventilation ducts...... The odds of success are too low!"

The odds are too low?

Lin Kun was stunned for a moment, and frowned: "Do you have a better plan?"

In this Longtan tiger's den, using the restaurant's ventilation duct to escape was already the only feasible plan they could think of, and he didn't think there was a better way.

"Let me remind you, then. ”

Chen Chong's face was expressionless, and he said in a low voice:

"One, how huge is the power consumption of a huge base, especially the bitch's laboratory is even more power-consuming, this underground is obviously not suitable for fuel power generation, and it definitely can't supply the power consumption of the entire base, so where does the electricity come from?"

"Second, the laboratory is built underground, but it is a luxury in terms of water, I know that some researchers even have to take a bath every day, but I have never heard of the lack of water in the base, where does the water come from?"

"Electric ...... Water ......"

Suddenly, a spiritual light pierced his heart, Lin Kun was not a stupid person, and he suddenly thought of something under Chen Chong's reminder.

In the aftermath of the cataclysm, the world was reduced to a wasteland, and unpolluted clean water was an extremely scarce resource that sparked a scramble among survivors, and electricity was not so readily available. However, this underground base has almost never heard of a shortage of water and electricity, which is very unusual.

Lin Kun's eyes burst out with an incomparably strong brilliance, his lips trembled, and the excitement in his voice could barely be suppressed:

"Could it be...... There's a dark river underground? And the base is powered by water power? No wonder these white-skinned ghosts are here, it's because of this! Can you be sure? How did you find out? What are your plans?"

Lin Kun knew very well that if there really was a dark river underground, then it would be the most perfect escape route! It was much smarter than his plan to climb out using the exhaust pipe! It was really a great chance to escape, not just gambling on luck!

Without answering Lin Kun's question, Chen Chong just smiled coldly.

He had long suspected the source of electricity and water in the base, when he underwent an electric shock experiment, the current and voltage output by the laboratory instruments had not reached the requirements, Catherine was furious about this, and asked the guards to immediately go to the hydropower station to repair the fault, Chen Chong only then knew that there was an underground river with a large flow behind the experimental area of the base, and the power supply of the laboratory all came from the small hydropower station on the dark river, but because the sound insulation effect in the laboratory was too good, the sound of water could not be heard.

Since that day, Chen Chong has already had a plan in his heart. Originally, Chen Chong planned to act alone, but now after talking to this Lin Kun, he changed his mind.

Chen Chong looked directly at the excited Lin Kun:

"Since you have a heartbeat, then I can join, but all plans, must follow mine!"

.......

At the moment when Chen Chong and Lin Kun were secretly plotting, there was a window in the attic of the restaurant. A man and a woman sit condescendingly opposite each other.

"Hmm, Miss Catherine, that seems to be number 416?"

A heroic white man in military uniform, with deep-set eyes and a majestic and upright posture, scanned the scene in the hall through the gap in the curtains, noticed Chen Chong, and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect him to recover so quickly, what a natural warrior. If he had the opportunity to take advanced genetic optimizers, it would not be impossible for him to awaken genes or even enter a higher level with his will. ”

Across from him, a tall, seductive white woman stirred the cup of coffee.

These two people are the two people with the highest status in the entire base, and they are also the doctor Catherine who is hated by all the prisoners, and the director of Diris.

Catherine was dressed in a research gown, her skin was better than snow, her face was beautiful, and every movement exuded an indescribable sensuality from her bones, and she was full of poppy-like fatal temptation. However, any prisoner knows exactly what kind of viciousness and cruelty lurks beneath this woman's beautiful appearance.

She glanced at Chen Chong's location through the window, and her red lips moved slightly:

"How can Dureth, a humble toy, and not a white man, be qualified to use something so precious?"

"Of course. I'm just saying it casually. The law of the jungle, white supremacy. The rest of the ethnic groups are rubbish that should be swept away. ”

Direth smiled indifferently:

"With the blessing of the Father, we will eventually be able to purify this dark and filthy world and establish a new order, and the king of the world will only be us. ”

Catherine's eyes rolled and she sighed:

"A rare moment of relaxation, and you ruined it again. Seriously, Direth, you have broken the genetic lock and stepped into the transcendent sequence, the organization needs you more, and you don't need to waste your precious time here. ”

Dyreth smiled, leaned forward, his eyes burned, and looked directly at the stunner in front of him in a very aggressive manner:

"Miss Catherine, I have never concealed my heart from you, and since you are the most gifted researcher in the organization, how can I bear to leave you alone in such a dark and savage place? ”

"Put away the trick you have on women. ”

Catherine smiled elegantly, not caring about Diris's burning gaze, and said nonchalantly:

"My mind is all about the study of life potential, and I finally found such a place, and I will not consider personal problems without solving the current topic. ”

"That's all from the bottom of my heart. ”

Direth stretched out his hand and smiled helplessly:

"I respect your quest and will go out of my way to help you make it happen. I'll keep an eye out for you in two days as supplies are delivered, and maybe you'll be able to meet the Awakened of the Wanderer tribe in the wilderness, which will also speed up your research progress and get out of this damn place sooner. ”

Duris didn't press every step, he knew that the bewitching stunner in front of him would one day be his own, and he could only be his own!
