On the seventeenth floor below, there are no offices here, just an extremely empty hall.

Around the hall, there are rows of instruments, and in front of each instrument, there is something like an operating table.

At the end of the hall, there are rows of cylindrical glass columns, some filled with liquid, some empty, and it is unknown what gas or liquid fills it.

What shocked Zhang Zhi was that there were some human corpses in the middle of those glass pillar-like containers.

"You're actually using real human bodies for research!" At this time, Zhang Zhi was frightened, he didn't expect that there was such an inside story in this world.

"It's not just us, I think there must be others who do it, and if it weren't for the end times, these would always be secrets!" Han Fulin said without pressure: "Human research is a necessary stage for the development of any kind of biological science to a certain extent. From the development of medicine to the present, which drug does not require human experimentation, otherwise where does the data on human action come from? ”

Zhang Zhi nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"Huh? What is that? ”

Next to an instrument, there was a glass dish, which contained a creature that Zhang Zhi had never seen before, like an octopus, with several long tentacles, but he was definitely not an octopus, the octopus did not grow hair, and the animal corpse was covered with fluff.

"This is a kind of animal that we make our own stem cells, we intercept genetic fragments from the human body and the octopus, and combine them to make a creature, because he has no peculiarities, just one more species, so he is killed and made into a specimen. A similar specimen, with more than 4,000 species stored on it, is specimen No. 4123. ”

"Ugh! Can humans create a creature type out of thin air? Zhang Zhi seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he really couldn't say anything.

"Mr. Zhang may have a different professional direction and does not know much about some things. At the beginning of this century, human beings were already able to synthesize stem cells with substances, and they could cultivate and produce human organs, such as livers and hearts. Now, decades later, the combination of gene editing and stem cell technology could have made it possible to create new species. If it weren't for the ethical considerations, the earth would have been transformed long ago. By the way, Mr. Zhang, you see. Han Fulin pointed to a liquid human body soaked in a glass pillar.

"This is not a human being, it is a humanoid creature edited with human genes as the mother and combined with stem cell manufacturing technology, but unfortunately, he has no soul and finally failed."

"No soul?"

"Yes, he is not a real creature, only a biological organism. Biology is the greatest thing in this universe, and if we want to give a soul to this manufactured product, we must only synthesize a fertilized egg at its birth, so that it can grow and grow into a naturally growing soul. ”

"This kind of organism that is directly created and identical to the structure of the human body, we cannot give it a soul, and it loses its meaning."

Zhang Zhi took a deep breath and said: "Oh, I understand, this thing is like a printer printing a me out, and the printed me may have the same appearance and composition, but it didn't print out my thoughts." ”

Han Fulin sneered, shook his head helplessly, and said, "This explanation is simple and crude, but it can also be said that way." ”

Next, Zhang Zhi saw that among the dozens of glass cylinders, there were various humanoid bodies, some even had three heads and six arms, and some only had one eye, and what was even more terrifying was that he saw a humanoid experimental subject, who had no face, and three eyes on his back and chest.

"It's disgusting!" Han Shuo muttered, and Yu Yan and the two of them were pointing at these experimental subjects and whispering their children's opinions on this kind of thing.

"It stinks! How can it be so stinky! Yu Yan suddenly smelled a strange smell.

"Well, I smell it too!" Zhang Zhi also smelled the smell of decay like the smell of corpses.

Han Fulin looked left and right, and suddenly his face changed: "No! Why didn't the seventy-nine storage column close! There should be a test subject inside! ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Han Fulin's finger, and saw that a glass pillar was empty, the door was wide open, and the liquid inside was empty, leaving only a pile of turbid liquid with a foul smell.

"There are footprints here!" Zhang Zhi was the first to rush up and check the ground.

Han Fulin was shocked: "This! How can it be! Isn't it, could it be that No. 79 has intelligence, it's impossible, I inspected it at the time, No. 79 is very ordinary, it is an assembly of human genes and lizard genes, there are no soul signal fluctuations, and brain cells are not active! ”

"Anything can happen, follow me!" Zhang Zhi followed the footprints and tracked all the way.

"He didn't stop here, he went straight to the stairs, walked, let's go down to the eighteenth floor." Following the footsteps, the six of them reached the eighteenth floor.

"Look! That's the ventilation hole, this thing is so powerful that even a ten-centimeter-thick titanium steel alloy can be easily bent, and I can't do it now. He's in the vent! Zhang Zhi said, thinking about whether to chase down.

"Eighteen floors underground, there is no light, he didn't even touch the wall, and walked directly to the underground ventilation hole, it can be seen that this thing has strong night vision, and the five senses are extremely sensitive, the ventilation hole is just an exhaust port, and it can be directly perceived! The strength of this thing should not be underestimated, and it should not be chased! Han Fulin persuaded that he was better off doing more than less, and besides, even Zhang Zhi said that his strength was inferior, so why increase the risk out of thin air.

"Okay, let's get down to business first." Zhang Zhi is not a young man, he is not a savior, he has a hunch in his heart, this thing is very strong, he is really not an opponent, but there is always some curiosity in his heart.

Han Fulin led everyone back to the general control room on the eighteenth floor of the basement, Lin Han took out the hard disk that had been prepared long ago, and began to connect to the host, the process only took twenty minutes in total, and Lin Han nodded to Zhang Zhi.

Professional people do professional things, Zhang Zhi believes in Lin Han, what information is needed, he should be professional.

After downloading all the information and preparing to go home, Zhang Zhi suddenly said: "Old Han, I still plan to go down to investigate, you go back first with the information, everything is as usual, I will return later." ”

"Mr. Zhang, this thing ......"

"It doesn't matter, with my current strength, it's hard to keep something for me."

"I'll stay, Brother Zhi, and I'll assist you." Yu Yan was a little worried.

"No, you are responsible for their safe arrival, after you go back, assist your Sister Xia to manage the team well, don't hurt anyone, I will be back soon."

Sending everyone away, Zhang Zhi turned his heart sideways, and entered the ventilation hole with a stick on his shoulder.

It's a secret base, and the vents are also hidden, one to the ground and one to the underground drainage system.

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhi walked out of the ground and came to an open hillside, where there were many cyan limestones, and there was occasionally some grass in the limestone crevices.

"Huh? A piece of skin? ”

The footprints were gone here, probably because of the rain, but Zhang Zhi saw a green skin on the ground.

"Humanoid skin, only three fingers on the toes, arched dorsal feet, and suckers, this thing's feet are more reasonable than human's, and are more suitable for long-distance running!"

"I have no hair on my head, my whole body is covered in cuticles, and my defense is twice as strong as my skin, which is really scary. According to calculations, his strength is at least twice that of mine, is this caused by the doomsday virus, or is it caused by his own genetic mutation? ”

"Huh? There are excretory holes, but there are no raw and colonizing organs, is this all excretion coming out of one orifice? ”

From the situation of the skin, Zhang Zhi can only analyze so much. This thing can also molt, and it is estimated that it can also evolve through molting, a very new creature.

Rolling it up and trapping it around his waist, he began to look for traces around him again.

This is only the edge of the city complex, and it stands to reason that there should be a lot of zombies.

But the result was that Zhang Zhi looked for a radius of several kilometers, but he didn't even see a zombie.

However, he climbed up a building with more than thirty floors to broaden his horizons, and he was dumbfounded when he saw if there were any zombies elsewhere.

He saw a hill in the distance, surrounded by dense zombies, and a rough calculation, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people.

The telescope on the helicopter was in his hand, and when he took it out, he looked into the distance, and saw a green figure in the middle of the group of zombies, which was more than a meter taller than the zombies next to him.

The scales on the green figure shone strangely in the sunlight, Zhang Zhi only glanced at it a few times, and he actually turned around and looked in the direction of Zhang Zhi.

As if the four eyes were facing each other, the thing would frown, and then there was a loud roar, and the zombies moved.
