Chapter 42: The Lost Drawings
(4000 words in large chapter)
Huang Shaokang reached out and tried to take the transparent box in Broad's hand, but Broad did not hand it to him, but took two steps back.
"Don't you trust me?" Huang Shaokang's hand hung in the air and slowly put it down.
"Trust. But it's too important to me. Broad took the transparent locket into his arms again.
"Broad, are you crazy, that guy is obviously lying to you, authoritative scientists have said that there is no such drug at all, it is a thing of medical common sense, it cannot be at present!" Huang Shaokang was a little angry, he felt sorry for Broad, but more sympathy and helplessness.
"No, Kang. It's all true! I've seen BuckFlo use this to stop bleeding from the soles of his feet in less than a dozen seconds! Ten seconds, that's shocking! ”
"And he cut the soles of his feet to prove to you?"
"He tried to leave, I shot at him from a distance, the bullet pierced his right foot, and he immediately used the drug. You know how powerful the P40 guard's guns are, and by the time I ran up to him, he was already struggling to walk. After about a few minutes, he asked me to check the wound on my foot, where the bullet had pierced and had scabbed! I watched him go from being a cripple to normal, and the whole process didn't take more than ten minutes! ”
Broad swallowed excitedly, "He proved to me that this drug that can promote limb regeneration really exists, and I have to believe him!" ”
"So you helped him get out of here?" Huang Shaokang's voice slowly softened.
"He used a whole bottle of potion as a bargaining chip," Broad bowed his head, "and he said that the dose was enough for Deirdre to grow a perfect pair of feet again. ”
Hey, Huang Shaokang lowered his head and sighed.
"Kang, I need your help...... You know how long I've waited for this day, how long I've waited for this day, and I don't want her to suffer any longer, not a minute, not a second, please help me. ”
"Brother, I should help you if it makes sense." Huang Shaokang's voice sank, "However, Buckflo also stole the design of the 'Point Replacement'. You know, this is a state secret, and if I help you get out of here, I'm sure both of us will be listed as wanted targets at the national level, and you know very well what the military court will do with us. I also have a wife and children, and I also have parents and a family. ”
"Yes...... I had to leave the base. In any case, I'm going to get it to my daughter right now, right away! She's only 9 years old, Kang, please! Broad looked at Huang Shaokang with deep eye sockets with a look of anticipation.
After struggling for a few minutes, Huang Shaokang finally failed to agree to Broad's request, he slowly shook his head, Broad's expression of hope turned cold almost instantly, he took a few steps back again, and his voice became dry and cold, "I am the only hope, the only trust, and even the only friend." It seems that I was wrong, it was all the result of wishful thinking, but I don't blame you. Broad seemed to have made a difficult decision, and took a deep breath for a while, "Since you can't help me, then please don't stop me!" After speaking, Broad half-lowered his head and looked at Huang Shaokang, who was speechless, and slowly retreated to the depths of the motor room. Broad hunched his body, he looked like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity to pounce, vigorous and fierce.
Lin Huoxiao in the shadows couldn't guess Huang Shaokang's mood at the moment, in fact, in his opinion, Broad was too presumptuous, to put it more directly, his behavior was too arbitrary. But any adult who can think normally and independently will weigh the pros and cons and consequences of every decision, and Huang Shaokang has no obligation to exchange his future for Broad's new life, not to mention, whether he will live or die is still unknown.
Seeing that Huang Shaokang was still standing in place and not moving, Lin Huoxiao slowly walked out of the shadows and came to his side.
"Shaokang, what are you going to do?"
"He's just for his daughter."
Lin Huoxiao could feel Huang Shaokang's struggle, his tone was very light, and this sentence seemed to be said to himself.
"Will you tell Mr. Guo?" Lin Huoxiao asked.
"Probably." Huang Shaokang said lightly.
Lin Huoxiao patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go back first, since you don't plan to arrest him, staying here for too long will easily arouse suspicion." Maybe the old man's mistress knows something, so go back and see. ”
Lin Huoxiao took the lead in walking back, and he always had a new question to ask, what kind of design is the "point replacement design drawing". Huang Shaokang once mentioned this thing, and it seems that the base still attaches great importance to genetic dust samples and black boxes.
As soon as the two of them returned to the second floor, a rapid and piercing alarm sounded. 200 fighters temporarily dispatched by the military region have arrived at the base, led by the security chiefs of various areas, and have begun to conduct a carpet search.
Twelve professionals deduced from the monitors that Buckflo was still inside the base, but due to the size of the base, the search would be very slow. But Mr. Guo didn't care about this, all signals sent to the outside world have been closely monitored, and all entrances and exits are also closely guarded, Mr. Guo thinks that unless Buckflo disappears directly, there is no way to fly out of here even if he has wings.
When Lin Huoxiao and the others returned to the monitoring room, Mr. Guo didn't say anything because the two had been away for too long, and he was even in the mood to tell Lin Huoxiao that he had already thought of more than ten ways to punish this old man.
Huang Shaokang led the five fighters in charge of the carpet search in the 10th district and left. In the huge octagonal monitoring room, important personnel went out to perform tasks one after another, and in the end, only Lin Huoxiao, Mr. Guo, Ms. Carmody, Buckfro's personal assistant and three technicians remained.
There were many tiny beads of sweat on Mr. Guo's bright bald head, and he was staring at the picture on the screen wall without blinking, and if he thought it was suspicious, he would call a technician to move the picture to the 80-inch giant screen in the center of the room. The wall of the screen captures teams of advancing soldiers in full armor and armed with guns in their hands from all angles.
Suddenly, a technician exclaimed in surprise and pointed to a screen on the C wall in shock, "Sir, there is a situation, there is a situation!" ”
"What's the situation!" Teacher Guo hurried over to look, and at the same time, his eyes widened in horror, "Quick! Broadcast to the big screen, and the sound is turned on! ”
The muffled sound of gunfire immediately sounded in the monitoring room, accompanied by the exclamations and screams of humans, and the noise became more and more dense. On the giant screen, at least 15 or more heavily armed fighters fired into the interior of a laboratory. The dense rain of bullets shot out strong sparks, but there was no one or any other target visible on the monitor!
"Ceasefire, call them an immediate ceasefire! Can't kill, can't kill!! Mr. Guo shouted, thinking that the search team had found Buckfloo, but the next image made him tremble.
In the group of warriors lined up in a neat attack formation, the six fighters in the rear position began to shoot their companions in front without hesitation! Almost instantly, nearly 10 fighters in front of them were shot into a sieve, spurting blood and falling to the ground. Immediately after, the last six warriors shot at each other without hesitation, and the golden light of the bullet passed through their bodies at close range, and despite the protection of combat armor, two of them were still torn to pieces due to too many bullets!
Frightened screams and unheard calls from the monitors, and the search team, which heard more gunshots, moved closer in the direction of the gunshots.
"Quick, immediately inform all squads not to approach that area!" Teacher Guo yelled anxiously, and a technician immediately turned on the broadcast mode to spread the news, "All search teams are on standby, do not approach Area 16 on the negative third floor." Repeat again......"
Lin Huoxiao was almost stupid, he felt his eardrums buzzing, and the whole world was slowly spinning. How could the search team, which was fine a second ago, suddenly kill each other!
"It's over, the underground demons are still here! I can't escape this time, I can't escape!! Buckfro's personal assistant, Camody, stared blankly at the giant screen, she suddenly stepped back with a hoarse voice, her arms protected from her chest, her legs unsteady, and she fell to the ground. She lay on her side on the ground and curled up in a ball, but her eyes were still fixed on the screen, and her mouth was high and low muttering words without a head or an end.
Mr. Guo was also shocked into a cold sweat, but he is also a figure who has been in an important position for many years, and his psychological endurance should be the best among the few people present. He picked Carmody up and grabbed her trembling arm tightly, "Ms. Carmody, calm down!" What nonsense are you talking about! ”
"First, sir, we ...... It's going to be over. ”
"Don't worry, there will never be any major accidents in this base, and there is no military region with more than 20,000 people stationed outside the base, and there is nothing that the Chinese cannot handle." At this moment, Mr. Guo was surprisingly calm, although his voice was a little trembling, but it revealed a strong confidence, which made people sound very relieved, "Tell me, what is the underground demon and how did it come to follow?" Who did it come from? You? Or Buckfloo? Have you seen it? ”
Camody shook her head violently, she burst into tears of horror, her black eyeliner was flushed with funny scratches, and she choked up and said, "No, all the people who have seen the demons of the underground are dead, all dead." This time it was just me and Buckfolo who escaped. In order to avoid it, we fled to China, but we still can't get rid of it! We're in a state of trembling almost every moment, it's terrifying, we're all going to be killed by the demons of the Underground......"
"Then how do you know it's coming from underground? Is it one or a group? Lin Huoxiao couldn't help but ask.
"Experiment, that experiment!" Carmody suddenly nervously pointed out the door.
"What experiment?" Lin Huoxiao and Teacher Guo asked at the same time.
"Those two physicists from Manchester, they're them!" Carmody's eyes widened, and the foreign woman's blue eyes had a lot of mixed browns.
Lin Huoxiao's heart sank suddenly, two physicists from Manchester? Could it be the Wuyang couple?!
"What's wrong with them?!" Lin Huoxiao continued to ask.
"They've always had an academic relationship with Buck, and they've held technology sharing sessions almost every weekend in the conference hall under their private lab. This was a very strange thing at the time, but Buck participated in almost every sharing session.
Just a month ago, Buck attended the last sharing session held by the two physicists. He came back sullen, and when I asked him what was wrong, he wouldn't tell me. For the next few days, he stopped going to the lab and stayed at home. More and more people came to him, but he never paid attention to anyone.
After a few days, fewer and fewer people were looking for him, and I saw many shocking news from the local newspapers and news that almost everyone who had looked for Buck had died mysteriously and mysteriously! ”
"How did they die?" Teacher Guo asked nervously.
Camody closed his eyes in pain, "I don't know, I just know that the cause of their death looks like an accident." ”
Accidentally? Isn't this exactly what Buckflo said to himself? What else was he hiding that he hadn't told himself? Lin Huoxiao's heart beat violently, and although he told himself that this was a world of the past, the oppression brought by the atmosphere and immersion still prevented him from successfully becoming a bystander.
"What the hell is an accident!" Mr. Guo continued to ask.
"If it's one person, they'll kill themselves by electrocution, drowning, falling from a building, etc., and if it's two people, they'll kill each other directly!" Camody was shaking even for breath.
"That's not an accident."
"But that's what it says in the news and newspapers! There is more and more news about accidental deaths, and by the time we left the UK, the number of accidental deaths had increased to more than 90 and the death toll exceeded 100!! Oh my god......" Carmody began to cry again, her hands buried in her mixed blonde and white hair.
"Then how the hell do you know about this so-called underground demon?!" Lin Huoxiao asked puzzled.
"I said, the experiment!" Kamody seemed a little impatient.
"What the hell is an experiment!" Teacher Guo's majestic voice made Carmody raise her head again, and she looked blankly at Lin Huoxiao, Teacher Guo, and several technicians around her.
"The physicists seem to have developed a device that can assist in the collection of research samples, through a certain property in the molecule...... I don't know what it is. In short, they replaced one piece of granite with another piece of special minerals buried 10,000 meters deep in the Pacific Trench......"
"That's all BuckFlo told you?" Lin Huoxiao asked, and Camody nodded slightly. At the same time, Lin Huoxiao noticed that Mr. Guo's eyes were full of doubts, puzzles, and inquiries.
"Kobayashi, I know why Buckflo stole the blueprints!"
