Chapter 144: Secret Base

Zhu Lan found a bunch of keys from the fainting guard, quickly walked to the door of the bunker, glanced at Zhao Zizhen, who was still in place, and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you doing, hurry up and follow!" ”

Zhao Zizhen let out an "oh" and walked towards the door with hesitant steps. As the key turned in the cylinder, the heavy iron door slowly opened to both sides, and a strange smell emanated from inside.

Zhu Lan saw the hesitation in Zhao Zizhen's eyes and said, "Whether you want to go in or not, you decide for yourself." With that, he stepped up and stepped into the iron gate.

Zhao Zizhen heard a noise in the woods behind him at this time, could it be the person they sent to arrest him? His scalp felt numb, and without thinking about it, Zhao Zizhen followed Zhu Lan's footsteps into the bunker.

The inside of the bunker was dimly lit, and the walls on both sides were lit with oil lamps, and as soon as the cold wind poured in, several of them were blown out. There was dust everywhere, and it didn't look like people would come in all the time.

"They...... Is there really any secret experiment going on inside? Zhao Zizhen asked softly.

Zhu Lan didn't speak, and kept walking forward, leaving only Zhao Zizhen with a vague back.

The two of them walked forward along the corridor silently, and Zhao Zizhen felt that the road seemed to have no end, and the road seemed to be sloping downward.

"Where the hell is this going?" Zhao Zizhen rushed up and pressed Zhu Lan's shoulder, forcing her to turn around.

"Hee-hee." A strange smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Lan's lowered face, and she suddenly broke free of Zhao Zizhen's hands, and ran towards the endless darkness without looking back.

"You stand stillβ€”β€”!!" Zhao Zizhen shouted loudly, but suddenly inhaled a strange smell and was choked and coughed.

He felt the air around him thinner and thinner, and there was a double image in front of him, and finally he lost consciousness and fell to the ground heavily.

The moment Zhao Zizhen fainted, Star Swirl's consciousness blurred. As the light that spread out in front of her slowly gathered again, she felt her body soaring.

Star Swirl lifts her heavy eyelids to find herself sleeping on a large soft bed. Clean sheets, crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, snow-white walls all around, and a faint smell of disinfectant wafted through the air.

Where is this? Wasn't she attached to Zhao Zizhen just now?

Star Swirl sat up in a daze, and suddenly realized that she had returned to her human form at some point, her slender white arms, and her hands and feet seemed to be much smaller. No, this body is not hers!

Star Swirl hurriedly rolls out of bed and searches the unfamiliar room for a mirror to see what she has become.

There were no mirrors in the room, and Star Swirl picked up a fruit knife on the dining table, a delicate and immature face clearly reflected on the silver blade.

"This ...... How can it be? This face felt strange and familiar to Star Swirl, because it was what Li Star Xuan looked like thirteen years ago.

"Am I going back in time?" Star Swirl looked at the furnishings in the room, she was sure she didn't have any impression of it, so was it in a dream?

Star Swirl's gaze falls on the picture frame hanging on the wall, and she walks over to take a closer look.

Star Swirl rubs her eyes as a young man and a woman snuggle up to each other, but she can't remember who they are.

"Return" Star Swirl enters the password into the energy lock, but the energy lock doesn't respond, Star Swirl really can't figure out what is happening, and her heart becomes a little nervous.

Suddenly, she heard a loud "bang", as if someone had suddenly broken into the door from outside. Star Swirl nervously clenched the fruit knife in her hand and slowly leaned towards the window.

She heard footsteps gradually approaching her, and her heart seemed to jump out of her throat, and Star Swirl glanced out the window, which looked like it was six or seven stories high, and even if she could break through the window, she would fall to her death.

A pair of men's shoes appeared in Star Swirl's sight, and she heard a deep voice, "Follow me!" There was a hint of something strange in the voice, and Star Swirl couldn't help but look up.

A tall, masked man stood in front of Star Swirl, a chill radiating from his body.

"Come with me." Seeing that Star Swirl didn't move, he repeated it again.

"Who are you?" Star Swirl asked in a trembling voice.

"Don't you want to see your parents?" The masked man reaches out and grabs Star Swirl's arm.

"Parents?" Star Swirl wondered, but he couldn't resist the strength of the man's hand, and he pulled him forward.

Walking out of the room, through one dimly lit corridor after another, Star Swirl could barely see the surroundings of a hospital, through the bleak white lights.

"This is not an ordinary hospital, but a secret experimental base hidden under the city of K." The masked man said slowly.

Star Swirl stares nervously at several uniformed nurses walking towards them, but the nurses pass through her body as if they were disembodied and continue walking.

"What's going on?" Star Swirl asks.

"What you're seeing is what happened thirteen years ago." The man replied.

"Thirteen years ago...... But how could I not be impressed at all...... "Star Swirl clearly remembers that she was just a carefree schoolboy thirteen years ago, so what does it have to do with this strange experimental base?"

"Your parents were the main members of the experiment, and when they learned about the dangers of the ST virus, they tried to make it public, but they were threatened." The man said.

"No...... My parents were just ordinary people, and there was no possibility that they were involved in any secret experiments. And we've always lived in L City, and we've never been to K City, don't lie to me......" Star Swirl shook her head, completely disbelieving every word the man said.

"You come with me." The masked man walked upstairs.

His footsteps linger on the doorway of a fully enclosed hospital room, and Star Swirl sees the scene inside through a tiny glass window.

A man lying on an operating table, with infusion tubes inserted into his body, and some strange-looking instruments next to him, showing various data.

"Who is she?" Star Swirl suddenly felt a tingling pain in her body and bowed slightly.

The man grabbed her: "The person in there is you." ”

"What?" Star Swirl's eyes widened in disbelief, "How could it be me?" I clearly ......, "Could it be that the nurse was able to pass through her body just now because she was the one without a physical body?"

Star Swirl struggled to lean against the window and looked inside, finally seeing the emaciated little face, exactly like when she was younger.

"What happened to me thirteen years ago? Seriously ill? Star Swirl asked.

"No," the masked man shook his head, "at first they locked you up to threaten your parents, and then for some unknown reason they used your body for secret experiments. ”

"You mean...... Experiments to replicate the human body? Star Swirl was surprised, "So, did it work?" ”
