Chapter Twenty-Nine: Open

Darkness, darkness from beginning to end.

When his feet were still falling, he devoured the last bit of light in his eyes.

Zhao Qian stood indifferently in this elevator, which was already damaged.

Yes, this kind of elevator with a descending speed, judging by the degree of resistance of his body to the feeling of weightlessness, this is definitely not something that an ordinary person can withstand.

"Whew!"

The speed was decreasing, and it was getting lower and lower, but he couldn't see outside, not even a shred of light.

If someone says it's going underground, maybe he'll believe it.

It's too deep.

"Boom."

With a low sound of the disc elevator underfoot, the elevator stopped.

Zhao Qian raised his feet and walked out of the elevator passage, his legs and feet were obviously a little weak because they had not eased up.

It's dark.

Standing in place, he looked at all the scenes in front of him, if it weren't for the dozens of seconds of dark adaptation time in the elevator, maybe he couldn't see anything at all when he arrived in this space.

Here, it looks, more like a Western office in the 90s, although a lot of the office facilities have been scattered to the ground by something. Cracked open destroyed desks, blackened A4 papers, and some pitiful water dispenser fragments on top of disposable paper cups.

Squinting his eyes, Zhao Qian found that except for a green light on the wall not far away, the safe passage sign with the word EXIT written on it was still in good condition.

Here he felt as if he had been blown by a gale. A typical disaster movie-style scene.

"Boom!"

There was another sound of an elevator landing behind him, and Zhao Qian turned around to see who it was.

This dark environment did not allow him to see very clearly.

"Follow me."

It was the woman, or the woman called Lily Jester, who was the daughter of the old Armstrong above.

"Yes."

Zhao Qian replied, he followed behind Lily, and a few dark colors could still be faintly seen on the glass of the office cubicle not far away.

Bloodstain.

It's not as safe as he imagined, and he thought there were at least a lot of people here, but now he couldn't see a ghost.

But along the way, there were a lot of corpses on the ground, including military uniforms, white coats, and civilian clothing.

There are men and women.

But without exception, their weapons and some slightly useful equipment were taken away by others.

"We're going to hurry."

"What?"

Lily's feet seemed to be stepping on a few pieces of shredded paper, which were densely packed with a large number of research terms, but at this moment they had also lost their usefulness.

"You arrived at a good time, just in time for the opening day of that place this year."

"You don't have a way to get in at any time?"

"No, the institute tried a lot of methods before the trial day, and there were even internal research disagreements until a certain entrance was opened."

The pace quickened again, and Zhao Qian followed silently behind, listening to the woman explain the things here.

After the trial day, Fowles re-established the derelict facility, as well as some of the remaining researchers, to re-establish further investigations. Use some of the things you've taken from below to regain your footing in the land. ”

Foreigners always like to call their elders by their first names, which is very unaccustomed to him.

Speechless, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little awkward after Zhao Qian stopped talking.

Went further on, and entered a corridor.

Lily, who led the way in front, pulled open a door that was not unlike the one that occasionally passed outside.

The light, peeking through the crack in the door, was particularly dazzling.

Zhao Qian followed behind, subconsciously closing his eyes.

"Welcome back, Miss Lily Yester."

An electronic synthesized sound rang out in the room.

Zhao Qian listened, there was a voice of someone talking inside, and he struggled to open his eyes, which were a little pierced by the light.

It looked more like a huge gym, with more than a dozen men and women in front of them with all kinds of gym equipment, some of them doing what looked like simple stretching, or some of them were simply meditating.

Clothing, ethnicity, men and women vary.

"Hello, I'm Kerry."

"Lee."

"They've only been recruited in the last month."

On the side, an Asian teenager looked at the teenager who came in with Zhao Qian.

Probably because there were only two people here with the same skin color, so he was very enthusiastic. After all, people are huddled animals.

"Except for those few, they were here earlier."

He pointed to the ones who were sitting there.

"Kerry, shut your banana mouth. Roll away with your monkey relatives. ”

Maybe it's because the quiet atmosphere is disturbed, or maybe it's just trying to bully this newcomer who has only come in here in the last week to have some fun.

Not far away, a white man who was doing a bench press frowned and said, he looked at the two yellow people in front of him, and there was a disgust in his eyes that I look down on you.

Kerry didn't speak, it was possible that they had already fought each other, and he couldn't beat the white man who spoke up, so he didn't want to cause trouble. The difference in the strength of the aura between the two of them is very small, but there is a gap after all.

Zhao Qian just looked at this place in silence and didn't squeak.

The performance of the two of them only added to the mockery on the white man's face, and the man's concession could only be exchanged for the intensification of others. The man stopped what he was holding and got up and smiled.

"Sure enough, it's all rubbish."

The sound was not loud or small, but it could be heard by everyone present.

Kerry looked at Zhao Qian in front of him embarrassedly and whispered.

"I didn't understand anything when I first arrived, and robbed him of his seat next to Sarah."

He pointed to a girl over there who was jogging with low oxygen, and she looked really good in appearance and figure, especially among the dozen men and women.

The white man not far away was still speaking some slang that Zhao Qian couldn't understand, but looking at his expression, it shouldn't be a good word.

"That's enough."

Lily, who was standing next to her and didn't know what she was talking to, suddenly spoke.

"Barry, you'd better shut up. I don't want any more attrition during this time frame. ”

The blonde woman's words finally stopped the white man's mouth, she was the boss here. Whether it's seniority or strength.

Barry shrugged, his face indifferent. It's as if he was just bored and having fun.

Zhao Qian watched there, he wanted to see a trace of resentment from the bottom of that guy's eyes, and an unwilling emotion swept over his face.

He glanced at the innocent-looking Kerry next to him, who was definitely more than just grabbing a seat.

It seems to catch a glimpse of Zhao Qian looking at yourself, this Zhao Qian has just met a man and said.

"Well, Sarah asked me for some souvenirs I brought from outside that night."

"Buzz!"

He was about to say something, when there was a sudden tremor from under the foot.

The sound of something.

"It's on."

Those who were still training stopped moving, and a black man whispered in the sit-in crowd.

The energy-saving lights on the ceiling above their heads flickered, like a classic scene from some ghost movie.
