Chapter 52: Don't be afraid
Caitlin carefully studied the data throughout the base, and she was also a hacker in the squad, and many times with her help, things were often done with half the effort. She scanned the information she had and almost concluded, "The system here seems to be split into multiple separate closed networks. With that, Caitlyn glanced up at the crowd with a solemn expression.
Jackson didn't really understand these digital things, and he asked with some confusion, "What do you mean?" ”
In contrast, Ruby's accomplishments in this area are obviously not shallow, and they are extremely incommensurate with her age, and she replied succinctly, "Meaning, the surveillance is still watching us." ”
Ben frowned, and looked weakly at the monitoring equipment diagonally above, "This facility should have an alarm or something, right?" ”
Ruby and Jackson looked at Ben at the same time as if they were idiots.
Through their eyes, Ben sensed that everyone did not understand his point of view, and quickly explained awkwardly, "I mean, why hasn't the alarm sounded until now?" If the surveillance was still there, we should be wanted by now, right? ”
Everyone nodded slightly, indicating that what he said made sense.
Jiang Ke pondered for a moment, he had not encountered such a situation, rather than looking ahead and stopping at the future, it was better to act straightforwardly based on feelings alone, "I can't take care of it so much, all this may be a trap, but we will continue as originally planned for the time being." ”
With that, Jiang Ke gave Caitlin a look.
Caitlin opened the warehouse door in her heart, and there was a snow-white wall behind the door, Jiang Ke took the lead in looking at both sides, and after making sure that there was no one, he waved his hand to signal the people behind him to follow.
With years of experience in training and actual combat, Jiang Ke has memorized the topographic map of the facility in just tens of seconds, and he shuttles freely, not at all like the first time he has come here.
The facility was clearly not constructed to do any ambush, but it wasn't set up to allow them to sneak in. The passage where they were located was open and almost uncovered, and the ten people shook the entire eighth floor in the open, but they did not encounter any resistance or attack, and the situation was beyond the initial expectations.
A group of ten people came to the elevator in the lower area.
Jackson frowned, a little confused, "It's so weird, it stands to reason that we should have been discovered." ”
Ben nodded, agreeing, "But until now, we haven't even seen a single figure. Is it that other areas are too big to allocate personnel? ”
Along the way, Jiang Ke was full of doubts. With his cautious attitude, he would never act so rashly, but Ben's speech at this time made him pause.
"Possibly, we miscalculated the number of people here."
Jiang Ke didn't say the words, but left the thoughts in his own psychology, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed the elevator.
The numbers on the elevator display board are beating one by one, and people's hearts are like a screw at the moment, and their hearts are tightened every time the elevator rises one floor.
Finally, the elevator stopped on the 11th floor.
The door opened, and the empty aisle was still presented in front of Jiang Ke and his party.
Jiang Ke sank his shoulders and stepped out of the elevator firmly.
"Alert! Alert! Contamination leaks detected! A loud electronic alarm sounded around the elevator, and the hurried tone startled several people, and they couldn't help but bend down and lower their posture.
"Alert! Alert! Contamination leaks detected! Please be in place! The sirens were still ringing, buzzing and "whining", but no one was seen.
After a moment of silence, several people in the elevator slowly walked out of the elevator. Ruby pointed to their shoes, which had been stained with a lot of dirt from the outside world after a long period of apocalyptic life, and it seemed that this thing was the culprit that caused the alarm.
"It's kind of like airport security." Ben shrugged, trying to lighten the mood.
However, no one spoke, Jiang Ke still took the lead and walked quickly towards the internal elevator.
At that moment, several people heard hurried footsteps from the end of the hallway. Jiang Ke lowered his figure, took out his gun, and slowly retreated.
The people behind him also drew their guns, staring in the direction of the source of the sound without blinking, and hid their bodies around the corner. Caitlin grabbed Ruby and hid her behind her.
As the sound of footsteps got closer and closer, a middle-aged man wearing a white research coat and brown glasses appeared in front of everyone. He stood in the middle of the cross-path at the other end, one hand on his waist, panting, and it was clear that the movement was not easy for him.
The researcher gasped as he propped his hands on his knees, regaining his strength, completely oblivious to the presence of a person standing in the passage to his right.
Jiang Ke pointed a gun at him.
There was a gap of about 20 meters between the two, and the influence of the small jar of evolutionary blood just now had passed, and Jiang Ke was not sure that he could subdue him silently. For the time being, he doesn't want to attract the attention of others inside the device.
And he only had two cans of the blood of those evolutionaries in store, and he didn't want to use the other cans rashly when he lost contact with Nadia.
But Jiang Ke's position is relatively high, and he is already in a dilemma at this moment. He narrowed his eyes, his mind rehearsing how to knock the man down quickly and silently.
Good fortune favored the researcher, who seemed to not notice anyone around him, instead straightened up and ran over. He looked hurried, not knowing what he needed to solve.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was only for a moment, and before they could catch their breath, shouts came from the side. Accompanied by the strafing of guns, someone shouted, "There are fugitives!" There are fugitives here! ”
They focus too much on the people in front of them and ignore the people around them.
Since Ben, Jackson, Caitlin and Ruby were on one side, they failed to notice that someone was patrolling on the other side. The failure of the formation distribution made the five on the other side not so lucky. Before they could react, two people were killed under the ammunition.
Jackson dragged Ruby by and threw her into the back of the passage, shooting herself and hiding in the elevator.
Caitlyn gave a loud order, and at the same time, a brisk step behind the remaining three people in front of her, and dragged the red-eyed three people into the dead corner, "Find cover!" She said urgently, "We are here to complete the task, not to be a desperate Saburo!" ”
Without further ado, Jiang Ke cut off the neck of the last bottle of blood, and the blood rushed out and poured into Jiang Ke's hands.
The encounter started quickly and ended quickly.
There were three Alita security guards in front of them, few in number, and they seemed to trust the pistols in their hands more than their own strength, and they just shot indiscriminately in this direction. This is undoubtedly the best situation for Jiang Ke.
He quickly ran in the direction of those people, kicked on the wall, and then the whole person seemed to fly, and with an elbow blow knocked out the first person standing against the wall. The remaining two people only cared about shooting at him, Jiang Ke took two quick steps, grabbed the muzzle of one of them, and broke it upwards hard. Then he pulled the gun out, and with a forceful push, the hilt stabbed straight into the ribs of the guards who were about to attack him from behind. Jiang Ke then kicked out the person in front of him with his left foot.
In three or two clicks, Jiang Ke solved the Alita security guard in the passage.
Although the skirmish caused them to sacrifice two teammates, their whereabouts were revealed, so there was no longer any need to hesitate, and the remaining 8 people trotted up.
They quickly made their way to the elevator inside, but this time they weren't as lucky as before. There's no console here, just a face-swiping recognizer, and Caitlyn can't do anything about such an anti-theft system.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Ben took the initiative to ask. He went to the security room on the second floor to look for explosives and decided to break down the door.
Jiang Ke agreed, and at the moment, there seemed to be no other way.
Jackson accompanied Ben back to the old elevator, and the red indicator light floated down layer by layer.
Jiang Ke stood in front of the elevator for a while, he didn't want to stay here like this and do nothing, especially after seeing so many containers containing test products, the anger in his heart couldn't be calmed for a while. In order to remove this firepower, he searched the various research rooms on the 11th floor one by one.
"Click", Jiang Ke pushed open a door, which was almost empty, and the huge white wall revealed a coldness, making the feeling of ice and snow reappear in his mind. However, what surprised Jiang Ke the most was that the researcher who had just run by mistake was injecting himself with this. The veins on his forehead were black and green, but he didn't care.
Jiang Ke's hand was raised quickly, and he had already shot almost at the same time he saw it. However, despite the broken potion bottle, the other party had already injected the medicine into his arm quickly.
Jiang Ke looked at the change in the appearance of the researcher in front of him, this is a change in research, he is very familiar with it, just like that Chris, they are all using evolutionary drugs.
However, there is obviously a huge difference in the degree of evolution with Chris, so these potions are improved varieties of the new potions that Chris recently withdrew.
The researcher was sweating profusely, and he couldn't hold it anymore. The body fell heavily, barely any support. On the ground, his figure expanded rapidly, which seemed to frighten him, and he pointed at himself squeaking, but there was no complete word. Apparently, he has received the so-called blessing - to gain great power in a short time. Like Chris, his IQ has dropped significantly.
However, before Jiang Ke could come back to his senses, the researcher had already completed the "evolution". He was covered in red, as if he had turned into a bloodthirsty demonic beast, and pounced on Jiang Ke.
