Chapter XXXVII

There was only a short section of the stairs that walked down, and what appeared in front of Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen was a metal 'door' more than three meters high. At first they were worried that they would need some kind of code or mechanism to open, but as they got closer, the metal 'doors' automatically spread out to both sides, revealing a large rotunda. Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen entered the rotunda of about 150 square meters, and the metal 'door' closed automatically. The "hall" began to fall. Only then did they realize that this was actually a super-large circular elevator, with a mechanism similar to a thermal induction system, which was obviously some kind of high-tech product.

But this is the first time they have seen such a large elevator, and they can't help but wonder - why do you need to build such a huge underground elevator? If it is only for the sake of 'sexuality' transporting a large number of human beings, it is obviously an unnecessary 'waste' fee. The only plausible explanation is that the elevator needs to take on the task of transporting certain large objects, or large animals. They activate their superpowers, go into a state of alert, and are ready to fight.

Ten seconds later, the elevator reached the end and the metal 'door' opened.

A large circular elevator is located right in the middle of the underground research institute. Valentina and the staff were discussing something, and when they heard the sound of the elevator door opening, they suddenly turned around and saw Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen, and they were shocked.

Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen also saw their companions who were imprisoned in various glass rooms, they stepped out of the elevator, their eyes widened with anger, Hang Yi had activated "Ninja Dragon Sword Ξ£ 2" on psv before, and almost wanted to shoot immediately.

Valentina is not in a big mess, and it seems that she is not completely unprepared for this situation. She quickly pulled out a small controller from her jacket pocket and threatened, "Warning you, don't try to attack us with superpowers. Otherwise, I'll activate the thermobaric bombs in these glass chambers at once, and your companions will be blown to pieces. ”

Hang Yi stared at the "'maid'" in the previous manor, and was not surprised that she could 'communicate' with them in fluent Chinese. He noticed the green 'color' box at the top of each glass room, and guessed that the 'woman' was right. Don't dare to act rashly.

Valentina added: "In addition to me, people in the control room can also detonate bombs. Once I'm attacked, they don't hesitate to push the button. ”

Hang Yi ignored the 'woman', his eyes searching for where Xinna was. At this time, Xina got up from the ground with difficulty, looked at Hang Yi through the glass, and tears came out of her eyes. As soon as Hang saw that Xinna was covered in bruises, the blood all over her body rushed to the top of her head. If it weren't for the 'sex' of his companions in the hands of these people, he might lose his mind and summon the terrible things in the game to completely destroy the people and things here. At this moment, he forcibly suppressed his anger and asked word by word, "What did you do to Xinna?" ”

Valentina guessed that the relationship between Hang Yi and Xin Na was not ordinary, she didn't dare to say everything that happened before, so she only said lightly: "It's nothing, she just suffered some injuries in the process of resisting, and our medical staff have already helped her treat her wounds and bandage them." ”

Hang Yi looked at Valentina and asked, "Who are you?" Why frame us? ”

"My name is Valentina, and I'm a researcher. That's right, everyone in the manor before was also a worker in this underground research institute. However, we don't want to harm you, we are just interested in your superpowers and want to ...... Do your research. ”

"Studying us like guinea pigs?" Sun Yuchen said angrily, "How do you know that we are superpowers? ”

This question is indeed very critical. Hang Yi secretly wondered that they had only begun to search for this manor after leaving the hospital in Troitsk Town. It is impossible for anyone to guess their next move in advance, so as to make a series of preparations in advance and carry out this "kidnapping plan". How do these researchers do this?

Valentina was silent, it seemed that the issue involved some important secret, and she could not 'revea' it. Sun Yuchen shouted: "Tell us, what's going on with all this?!" ”

Valentina gradually regained her composure, realizing that in the current situation, it was actually these two superpowers who were passive. She regained her confidence and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have to comment, and I'm not obligated to answer your questions. But you should think carefully about your position, and if you don't want your companions to be blown up, do as I say. ”

"Get them out of that damn glass house right now." Sun Yuchen ordered.

"Impossible." Valentina did not back down, and said bluntly, "I am not a fool, I can guess that if you let your companions out, you will not let us go - that would be tantamount to suicide." ”

"And what do you want us to do?"

Valentina tried to take the initiative further, pointing to the two empty glass rooms and said, "You enter these two glass rooms separately, and I promise you that we will only take some samples of your blood and hair for study, and will not harm you." After that, we will return you safely to the surface and allow you to return home. ”

"Don't believe her nonsense!" Sun Yuchen used his mind reading technique to hear Valentina's inner voice. "Once we enter that glass house, we don't want to come out alive!"

In fact, without Sun Yuchen's reminder, it is impossible for Hang Yi to agree to this kind of request. Just by the injuries on Xinna's body, he could tell that these people were definitely not good. Moreover, since Ji Kairui couldn't get out of trouble, which shows how strong this tempered glass is, he naturally can't be stupid enough to throw himself into the net.

"Impossible," Hang Yi said equally resolutely, "I'm not a fool. ”

Neither could go to war rashly, and both sides rejected the demands of the other side. For a moment, neither side could think of a solution, and it reached an impasse.

Hang Yi didn't know how injured Xin Na was, so he didn't dare to spend it with these people, he planned to use the strategy of delaying the army, and then plan to move later. He said to Valentina: "I will not agree to your proposal without knowing anything about your plans. However, if you're willing to tell me what all this is all about, maybe I'll consider cooperating with you. ”

Valentina exchanged glances with the "manor master", hesitated for a few seconds, and agreed: "Okay, I'll tell you everything you want to know." But don't think about any 'tricks'. As I said, as soon as I'm attacked, the people in the control room will immediately detonate the bomb in the glass house. ”

"I'm not going to risk the lives of my companions." Hang Yi said.

Valentina stared at him for a few seconds, then raised her head to the right: "Come with me." ”

Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen glanced at each other and followed Valentina, keeping their vigilance along the way to prevent these Russians from doing ghosts.

They walked up to a large closed 'gate' with the word "Π’panoh" written in Russian, presumably meaning "Zone B". Valentina pressed her right thumb on a scanning area and said a password, and the big door opened.

They pass through a circular passage that resembles an aquarium tunnel and come to Section B of the underground research institute. It doesn't look much different from the A section just now, just a little smaller. It is also composed of various 'fine' instruments and several glass chambers. In front of each glass room, there are several staff members who are taking notes. When Hang Yi's eyes came into contact with the "person" in the glass room closest to him, the muscles and flesh of his whole body stiffened, and he was so shocked that he forgot to breathe for a while.

Locked inside was a man he knew. Not only acquaintance, but also former partners. Hang Yi didn't expect to see her again.

Jing Xiaoran ('female' No. 28 ability "healing").

But she is no longer a living person, but a walking corpse. Her face was as pale as the other walking corpses*, but her delicate features and face were still recognizable. As soon as Hang remembered Jing Xiaoran's appearance when she was alive, and the scene of her sacrificing herself to save others, his heart was blocked by the emotions that came up, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable, he grabbed Valentina's collar and shouted: "'Bastard', what have you done?!" ”

Valentina said, "Calm down, we didn't turn her into a walking corpse." She was already like that when we found her. ”

Hangyi slowly let go of Valentina's collar. Valentina straightened her clothes and motioned to the staff next to her not to be nervous.

Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen stared at Jing Xiaoran as the small elevator in the glass room slowly descended, and some injured animals were thrown out by the staff - a rooster with a broken wing, a cat with a broken leg, and a rabbit wounded by a shotgun.

Jing Xiaoran moved towards the animals abruptly, she first grabbed the dying rabbit and pressed one hand on its wound. Soon, the rabbit was healed by his superpowers and regained his vitality. This cute little animal seemed to have spiritual 'sex', kissing Jing Xiaoran's hand with its mouth and thanking her.

This scene made Hang Yi feel a lot of emotion - he didn't expect that even if he became a walking corpse, Jing Xiaoran was also using superpowers to treat the "injured", maintaining her kind and gentle nature. Hang Yi was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

However, the next scene made Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen shocked and heartbroken.

After Jing Xiaoran treated the rabbit, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit the rabbit's neck violently, and tore off a large piece of 'meat'. The rabbit that had just been cured was hanging on the brink of death in the blink of an eye. However, Jing Xiaoran's hand reached for its neck again, and soon, the rabbit came to life again. Then......

Angels become devils, and devils become angels. Cycle.

Sun Yuchen couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled at Valentina: "Enough, don't torture them anymore!" ”

Valentina said: "She is no longer your friend, but a special walking corpse with superpowers. She has a complex two-sided 'sex', on the one hand, her superpower is 'healing', and on the other hand, the walking corpse's instinct is to attack living creatures. That's why you see this. The purpose of our research is to discover these qualities and control them. ”

She paused slightly, pointed to the other two walking corpses in the glass room, and said, "The two walking corpses over here, I don't know if they are also your friends." But the existence of one of them can show the rationality of our doing. If you know about his superpowers, you should know what happens if you let him go outside. ”

Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen looked towards the other two glass rooms, and their footsteps involuntarily moved over.

Jiang Lixuan (male No. 42 ability "gravity"). Hang Yi thought of him, and also remembered the thrilling scene that happened in the parking lot a few months ago. But he didn't hate him at all. Not only because he is now a poor walking corpse, but also because Hang Yi's ability to "play" is actually thanks to him, so he understands the method of use. At this moment, Hang Yi once again saw Jiang Lixuan's terrifying superpower "gravity" through the glass.

The area of this glass room is twice that of Jing Xiaoran's, probably because the people from the research institute took "special care" of Jiang Lixuan after testing his ability. Hang Yi had endured Jiang Lixuan's attacks and knew that his ability was a range attack, and it was extremely terrifying, capable of increasing the gravity around him several times. At this moment, what he and Sun Yuchen saw was a wooden table in the glass room, which was forced into two pieces by the powerful force of downward traction and pulling after the gravity increased several times.

Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen both felt a chill run down their backs, and they could imagine what terrible consequences would be if the subject was 'changed' into a human. Obviously, it is impossible for the human spine and bones to withstand the pull of such a strong gravity. In fact, Hang Yi still can't forget the terrible feeling when he and Mi Xiaolu almost died in this powerful gravity.

Their attention was again focused on the glass room next to it. Locked up in it is also the former partner of the "Guardian Alliance" - Liu Yujia ('female' No. 30 ability "Foreknowledge"). When Hang Yi saw her, he suddenly understood something about what they were going through.

Liu Yujia's superpowers, like Jing Xiaoran, are all auxiliary types and do not have any lethal 'sex'. After turning into a walking corpse, she stood in front of the glass, and her fingers drew something on the glass. Hang Yi looked at her sadly, his heart extremely heavy.

After a long time, he asked, "How did you catch them?" ”

Valentina said: "Where we are now, it was originally a secret ancient biological research institute. The town of Troitsk, ostensibly an ordinary town on the outskirts of Moscow, is actually home to a number of secret Russian research institutes. This paleontological institute is just one of several research centers. ”

Sun Yuchen said: "Why don't we see any ancient animals here? I only saw your imprisoned companions and superpowered walking corpses. ”

"Because the animals have been moved somewhere else," Valentina said. As you can imagine, the walking corpses that have appeared in recent times have been more likely to 'piquing' the interest of researchers than ancient creatures. How do they come about, and what are their 'characteristics'? We're going to catch some walking corpses and come back for research.

"At first, we didn't expect that there would be more special 'superpowered walking corpses' among the walking dead. I found out about this because of herβ€”" Valentina pointed at Liu Yujia and said, "She was captured by us along with a few ordinary walking corpses. But soon, we found out what was special about her. She was always drawing something on the glass, which aroused our great interest.

"The staff recorded the patterns she drew on a computer, analyzed them, and converted them into images that we could see clearly. As a result, we discovered a very astonishing fact - the pattern of this 'female' walking corpse is full of some 'prophetic images'. After many verifications, we have no doubt that these things she painted are things that will happen in the near future. ”

Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen glanced at each other with solemn expressions.

Valentina continued: "Through her precognition, we learned that there are four other special walking corpses with superpowers. And their characteristic is that they are all Asian β€” of course, now we know that they are actually Chinese. So, we caught her (Jing Xiaoran) and him (Jiang Lixuan) again. ”

Sun Yuchen had seen Jiang Lixuan's terrifying ability just now, and pointed at him and asked, "His 'gravity' is so powerful, how can you catch him?" ”

"We did suffer at the beginning. But then we found out that even the superpowered walking corpse is not completely invincible. In addition to blowing them to pieces, if you continue to attack them with a high-voltage stun gun, they will have convulsions for a certain period of time, so they will not be able to use their superpowers, so you can take advantage of the opportunity to capture them. Valentina said.

Hang Yi was concerned about another point: "You just said that you learned through Liu Yujia's 'precognition' that in addition to her, there are four other superpowered walking corpses?" ”

Valentina paused for a moment and said, "Yes, actually, we almost caught four. But the other one is too difficult, too dangerous, and nothing can hold her back. So, we gave up in the end. ”

"What do you mean? Make it clear. ”

"The ability of that 'female' walking corpse seems to be able to change the 'density' of things around her. She can make it impossible for anyone who comes near her to breathe - because the density of the air drops to zero; And, no matter what we use to bind it, she can easily escape by changing the density. Even these tempered glasses, which are stronger than 'fine' steel, can be turned into tissue paper by her. So, we had to give up. ”

Wei Wei. She's also become a walking corpse. Hang Yi understood and asked, "What do you mean by 'giving up'?" ”

Valentina groaned and said, "Give up studying her." But she can't be allowed to use that terrifying superpower to kill. So, we had to use bombs to wipe it out completely. ”

Hang had no way to refute this approach. He knew in his heart that these walking corpses, including the superpowered walking corpses, were actually summoned from hell by the attacker who controlled the "death" and sniped them. It's just that maybe even the attackers did not expect that the secret research institute in Russia would capture and eliminate some. From this point of view, the institute has indirectly helped them. Otherwise, imagine a large group of walking corpses, which are also 'mixed' with the terrifying superpowers of "gravity" and "density", I am afraid that they have been wiped out.

When Hang Yi was thinking to himself, Sun Yuchen asked: "So, do you know that we will come to this manor, and the people who come are all superpowers, and it is also because of Liu Yujia's 'foreknowledge'?" That's why you pretended to be the owner of the manor in advance, greeted us, and designed to 'get' us to the institute for *research? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm sorry, exactly. Valentina paused and continued, "But this thing is strange. We didn't expect that the place where the 'Foresight' showed you superpowers would be coming was the manor above this underground research institute. I don't know if it's a coincidence. ”

Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen glanced at each other and were also surprised. Indeed, the purpose of their coming to this manor was to find the "library room", but they did not expect to find an underground research institute hidden beneath it. I don't know if these two things are related?

They all fell into their own contemplation, and at this time, Sun Yuchen noticed that Liu Yujia in the glass room was acting abnormally. Her fingers had been drawing something on the glass, but now it was getting faster and faster, as if it were a 'cramp', as if what she was foretelling was serious, a sign of some kind of crisis.

Valentina also saw Liu Yujia's abnormality. She was in a daze when a staff member hurriedly walked over with a stack of patterns that had been analyzed and converted by a computer and showed it to Valentina. Hang Yi and Sun Yuchen also saw the content of the picture - countless walking corpses, and it seems that there are some animals, attacking humans. And if you look closely, this place is the underground research institute where they are located!

Valentina was shocked and asked the staff member, "What did you say?" She's been drawing these things since just now......"

Before they finished speaking, they were shocked to hear the terrifying '' wails and screams coming from Area A, and it seemed that the "foresight" had happened.
