With the faint sound in his ears, Luo Xin felt the heaviness and blurring of his head. The memory is still stuck in the group of glowing fireflies last night, but I seem to hear their small voices.

Do fireflies talk? No way......

Do fireflies bite? Impossible, right......

So he slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself in the darkness, with a little light shining in from the side. He struggled to adjust his gaze until he saw that DL-03 was covering him with his body.

Feeling Luo Xin's awakening, DL-03 immediately activated himself, erected his upper body, and broke free from the creeper covering his body to the ground, and the writing wrapped around Luo Xin's leg, it also helped tear it apart.

Luo Xin got up slowly, only to find that his right hand, which was paralyzed last night, seemed to have regained consciousness.

"This ...... Did you help? He asked.

DL-03 glanced at him and replied seriously, "Mr. Luo, I didn't help heal you, and I don't have the ability to heal. ”

Luo Xin let out a soft "oh", looking at the leaves of the creeper on its body, as if after a night's time, they had already covered its body. At least, it protected him with its own body, and these things seemed to be dangerous in the unknown night.

"Thank you." Luo Xin blurted out.

"Why?" It asked.

Well, maybe it doesn't understand. So Luo Xin simply shook his head: "It's nothing." ”

Luo Xin stood up tremblingly from the ground, feeling that he had low blood sugar and had not eaten for a day.

"Mr. Luo, do you want to keep going?" DL-03 interrogated.

"Yes." Luo Xin looked around, it was still a strange place, a house covered with plants, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Mr. Luo, I only have 36 percent of my power left." It says, "This amount of power can sustain you back to where you came from, so I suggest you turn back." ”

"Turnback?" Luo Xin has already come here, how can he just leave? "I'm here, and I won't want to go back unless I bring them all back."

Luo Xin took a few steps forward, facing a three-way road, but he didn't know how he should go.

"Mr. Luo, in view of the fact that you were in danger last night, if I consumed all the power during the operation, then I must activate the alarm signal and let the company's rescue team come to rescue you."

"Call the police?" Luo Xin turned his head and looked at it, "Even if you don't have an internet connection, it's okay?" ”

"Yes."

If so, will the location of Shuixi Village be exposed?

Luo Xin slowly returned to its side, squatted down, and thought for a while. The current situation may be that if you insist on going your own way and continue to search for Cao Xi, you may starve to death or be injured to death by an unknown object; Perhaps, he could do his best to find Cao Xi and them, but DL-03 had no power and raised an alarm to attract the attention of the company......

Thinking about it this way, it may have saved everyone's lives, but it exposed Cao Xi's identity, so there is no way to have it both ways.

I can only blame myself for not being fully prepared.

"Can you wait for me here?" Luo Xin suddenly said, "I'll go in and find them alone, you keep the power and wait for me to come back, is it okay?" ”

DL-03 looked at him, "Mr. Luo, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

"yes, I might be able to give it a try." Luo Xin can only try it like this.

"How long do I have to wait?" It asked, "Please give me a time, and if you don't come back, I'll call the police to find your whereabouts." ”

Luo Xin let out a long sigh, time? It's really hard to grasp yourself.

Seeing that Cao Xi and they have disappeared here for more than a week, without the help of external forces, maybe it really won't work, so they can only try the last one by themselves, and the rest is left to fate.

"One day, just one day." Luo Xin said resolutely, "I only have one day to last." ”

"Okay, Mr. Luo, I'll start the timer from now on and wait for you to come back."

"Hmm." Luo Xin nodded, and then chose a direction to continue walking by feeling.

When he walked several paths in a row, the people who had no direction began to get dizzy. The stream beside the house flowed, and he felt that he was very thirsty, so he sat down, took the clear water in his hand, drank a few sips, and washed his face by the way.

The cold water that had just been swallowed from his throat suddenly poured into his stomach, and it was so uncomfortable that he vomited it all out with a wave of nausea.

He wiped his mouth and wondered what was going on, the only reason that could be explained, that the water, like the plants, might have undergone changes that were imperceptible to the naked eye.

So he could only continue walking, which can be said to be really aimless.

A wave of dizziness hit, and he stood firm against the wall, but touched something soft under the creeper on the wall. He brushed aside the dense foliage of the creeper, and suddenly saw a loose garment inside, and a drained corpse was hidden inside, and he suddenly came to his senses.

This one......

He looked at the corpse carefully, it should not have been long dead, and the branches and vines were shuttling through his body, as if they had sucked all the nutrients in his body, leaving a skin bag empty.

Luo Xin was shocked, the scene he saw, as Ma Hui said, those plants seemed to have regrown from the human body, and they had become dependent.

And this man ...... Maybe it's one of the kids they came with......

Luo Xin was saddened, and re-said that these leaves were arranged to cover the corpses. He really didn't want to see such a picture again......

As a place that has been abandoned for fifty years, in addition to being overgrown with a variety of plants, wildlife should also be everywhere. After all, when people disappear, they will occupy this place. However, the difference is that the feeling of coming here is so quiet that not even a living animal has been encountered.

Perhaps, these lush plants are the reason.

They need more than just nutrients.

And just as he was about to turn away, a figure suddenly appeared at one end of the path, standing in front of him. His body was wrapped in black vines, like a disguised garment, and his face was obscured by long, messy hair, leaving only a pair of deep, bright eyes staring straight at him......

"Who are you?"

Because of the distance and the reaction of low blood sugar, Luo Xin's eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't see clearly who this person was.

But the man didn't answer him, but suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction behind Luo Xin.

"What?"

Luo Xin turned around and looked in the direction he was pointing, it should have been the path he had walked on, did he want to get out of here? And when he looked back at the man, he had disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace, as if he had never been here.

Who is he?

……

The laboratory under the light made the three of them no longer notice that the sky outside the window had darkened, and the night had come silently again.

There were also some experimental equipment in the laboratory, and Shi Wei tried to activate it. If changes in blood samples can be observed, perhaps more secrets may be uncovered within.

"If Cao Xi's blood can change the growth of plants, then there must be some reason for such a change!" Shi Wei said as she eagerly searched for equipment that could be used.

"Is there a device that can be turned on?" Shi Wei and Xiao Jing searched separately, but these devices avoided varying degrees of damage.

"Artificial?" Shi Wei checked the damaged places and confirmed them with Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing picked up a severed wire, and said with a heavy face: "These interfaces have been cut off by sharp weapons, and they are not fractures formed by natural oxidation. ”

"It seems that someone doesn't want anyone to do any research." Shi Wei looked disappointed.

"Yes, and the same goes for the power supply that includes this incubator."

"Who is that?"

"It can only be explained in this way, some people want to study it, and naturally some people will oppose it."

Shi Wei sighed lightly, looking at Cao Xi, who was silent on the side, unable to guess her inner thoughts at the moment. She could only look helplessly at the seemingly intact equipment, but the cut power cords ...... Shi Wei's eyes suddenly noticed that those incisions did not appear oxidized, but they were too fresh......

"Have you made any other discoveries?" Shi Wei tried to change the topic.

Cao Xi raised his head and looked at Shi Wei: "Never." ”

"What about dreams? Have there been any other hints? ”

Cao Xi thought for a while: "I dreamed of a white room, and there was a loudspeaker asking me how I felt......"

"Feelings?"

"Shi Wei." Xiao Jing suddenly called her softly and pulled her aside, "Have you ever thought that she is another kind of experiment?" ”

Shi Wei looked at him with wide eyes: "How could you have such an idea?" ”

"Maybe she was injected with something that could change her genes."

Shi Wei looked at them in surprise: "So, she is another kind of research subject?" ”

"I'm guessing, too." Xiao Jing walked up to Cao Xi and looked at her so carefully and seriously for the first time, "Either she was changed as soon as she was born, or she was already changed when she was in her mother's body." ”

"Then you can only find Professor Cao to learn more about this."

Shi Wei sat down on the chair, exhausted.

"That ......," Cao Xi finally spoke after a silence, "do you have this?" ”

She pulled open her blouse, revealing her belly button.

Shi Wei and Xiao Jing looked at each other, they really didn't notice this, which meant that Cao Xi was conceived from the womb......

"This ......" Shi Wei suddenly stood up from her chair and held Cao Xi's shoulders excitedly with both hands, "You must have a secret that we absolutely don't know!" ”

And Xiao Jing suddenly walked to the other side and began to be silent and thoughtful.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Jing turned to Shi Wei: "How can you conclude that your grandfather and they are the first people to enter here?" ”

Shi Wei looked at him in surprise: "Could it be that there is another batch before them?" ”

"Do you see the rooms that were left behind?"

Shi Wei blinked, did she ignore something?

"There are rooms on the first and second floors, the first floor is blocked, and the second floor is all glass, so it must be done to close something, and to observe something."

Shi Wei sat in the chair, feeling that she was really thinking too simply.

"If we were all bred from these embryos, it might have been a lot of experiments that we had done before or after." She suddenly felt that her head was very painful, and she held her forehead and said, "Maybe there are many different kinds of people with different degrees and meanings besides us...... We are one, Cao Xi is one, and there are many unknown ......"

The cold air suddenly became silent as if it froze, and the three of them sat in the laboratory speechlessly. In the white laboratory, I don't know how many "experimental products" were born and how many "defective products" were sacrificed. Whether it is them who have been successfully cultivated after all, or Cao Xi, who was born in another way, they are all "objects".

A burst of darkness struck them, and they were terrified. In a moment, the white light came on again and flickered a few more times.

"Maybe it's low on battery." Xiao Jing said.

Shi Wei was silent for a while, and said with regret: "Go back." ”

"Back to the company?"

Shi Wei got up and came to the incubator: "There is no living body, and our task has not been completed." ”

"The secret hasn't been solved, has it?" Cao Xi looked at her.

Shi Wei faced her and smiled bitterly: "Yes." ”

"It's good to find you, though." She added, "At least it proves that my initial guess was not wrong." ”

Cao Xi walked over to Shi Wei and shook her hand as if she had held her hand for the first time.

"When I go back, I also want to meet Professor Cao." She said, "What the hell am I, I want to know." ”

Shi Wei smiled, her smiling face was very good-looking, but after so many days, she looked a little haggard.

"Shh Xiao Jing suddenly reminded them, "There is a voice! ”

They held their breath and pricked up their ears to hear something, but the lights overhead flickered and creaked out of obsolescence.

From a sound that was not clear, they could guess that it was coming from the first floor, like footsteps, with the friction of chains......

Cao Xi remembered the room that was locked by chains he saw on the first floor, was there anything else in it?

"Cao Xi." Shi Wei leaned into her ear and said, "Stay, or hurry up?" ”

"I want to go." Cao Xi replied.

Shi Wei nodded, and just wanted to take her hand and leave the laboratory, but she didn't expect Xiao Jing to grab Cao Xi from behind and separate her from Shi Wei.

"Xiao Jing, what are you doing?" Shi Wei asked in surprise.

"I don't want her to just go back." Xiao Jing's expression was different from the coldness of the past.

"And what do you want to do?" Shi Wei nervously wanted to save Cao Xi, but Xiao Jing had already pulled her behind her.

"It's really over like this, and we don't have a chance to change!"

"Xiao Jing?!"

"Cao Xi's blood can definitely change us, why don't you give it a try?" Xiao Jing looked at her angrily, "If we take her back like this, she will become the new research object of the company, and they won't help us change!" ”

"Xiao Jing, you calm down first......"

"Calm down what?" Xiao Jing grabbed Cao Xi's hand tightly, Cao Xi felt the pain but couldn't break free, gritted his teeth and endured it.

"You said that your judgment will not be wrong, Cao Xi must be useful to us, why did you give up yourself?"

"I didn't give up!" Shi Wei replied, "But we can't do anything?" ”

"Why can't it be?" Xiao Jing looked at her fiercely, "Directly fused!" ”

"Are you crazy?!" Shi Wei shouted, "We don't have any instruments and equipment to detect, do you want to fuse directly?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Jing's categorical answer surprised Shi Wei.

"We've been waiting for a long time, this is a great opportunity to change yourself and escape from the company, I didn't expect you to hesitate at this time!" He said, "Shi Wei, this is not you. ”

Shi Wei looked at the person in front of her, and suddenly felt strange, or did she become another person?

Suddenly she realized something: "You destroyed the equipment here?" ”

Xiao Jing's brows trembled, and Shi Wei could completely detect that she had guessed correctly with this slight move.
