In addition to the two outsiders of the turtle dove and the worm, there should be two other people in this underground research institute, and one of them is the mysterious person who is talking to the turtle dove and the worm, judging by the current situation, this mysterious person has not shown too obvious hostility.

In addition, another person who is called "behind the scenes" by the worm, his hostility is quite obvious, especially when he was in the 46th test site before, he almost killed the turtledove and the worm, if it wasn't for the sliding door opened in front of the "B9" test subject, the turtledove and the worm might have to be explained there.

So Ikaruga really wants to know from the mouth of the mysterious man, what is the true identity of the "mastermind", according to the idea of the turtledove, since the mysterious man said that he has been trapped in the underground research institute for many years, then he should know who the "mastermind" is.

After all, they are also in the underground research institute, so the two of them should have dealt with each other.

……

"I don't know."

However, contrary to Turtledove's expectations, the mysterious man still said the words "I don't know" this time, so that the little trust that Turtledove had accumulated in him with great difficulty collapsed in an instant at this moment, only to hear Turtledove snort coldly twice and said:

"Huh."

"Don't be too busy with 'huh' me just yet," said the mysterious man, "I never realized that there were people other than me in the underground research institute before today, perhaps because my area of activity has been very limited and I can't move around freely, but I can assure you that what I said is absolutely true, and there is not a single lie." ”

Listening to the mysterious man's tone of voice was quite sincere, the turtledove looked at the little worm next to him, as if asking her opinion, the little worm thought for a moment and nodded to the turtledove.

In the eyes of the little worm, whether what the mysterious man said was true or false, she had already decided to go to the research center to find antibiotics according to what the other party said, so when the turtledove asked her opinion, the little worm just pretended to be thinking, in fact, she didn't need to think about anything more at all.

The turtledove thought that the worm recognized the mysterious person's statement, but he said in his heart that since the worm felt that there was a possibility of what the other party said, then he would agree with it.

"So what is your final decision," the mysterious man asked, "whether to continue to question what I have said, to stay here for the next thirty hours or so, and wait quietly for death, or to cooperate with me and save your own lives, what are you going to do?" ”

The mysterious man waited for the turtledove's answer, and the little worm couldn't help but turn his head to look at the turtledove.

"Let's do this for now," after a pause, Turtledove added, "but if I find out that you lied to us, then I'd rather become a monster than let you out, and let you be locked up in this hellish place for the rest of your life, do you hear me clearly?" ”

After a few twists and turns, although the turtledove still can't confirm the identity of the mysterious man and the "mastermind behind the scenes", he has a little more understanding of the mysterious person, maybe these understandings are not important things for the little worm, for the turtledove, these are very important.

All in all, the duo of turtledoves and bugs, who had been slightly divided, have now reunited and gone to the research center to find life-saving antibiotics.

"Wait!"

At this time, the mysterious man suddenly stopped the two young people.

"What's wrong again?"

The turtledove and the insect stopped at the same time.

"There's one thing I forgot to tell you," said the mysterious man, "and on the road ahead, you're not only likely to encounter all kinds of test subjects, but also quite a bit of a bionic robot working here. ”

"Those bionic robots are specialized in most of the basic work in the underground research institute, and they are also part of the security defense system, if you encounter them, do not come into direct contact with them, and avoid them if you can, because these bionic robots have a low level of intelligence, but their physical strength should not be underestimated."

"Especially the explosion-proof robots are themselves created to control and capture various test subjects, and even the 'C' type test subjects can't withstand their cooperative attacks, so you must be careful."

"Explosion-proof robots?"

The turtledove silently repeated these five words, remembering them in his heart.

"Good luck to you."

After saying this, only a soft "beep" was heard, and it should be that the mysterious person turned off the radio at the central station.

……

Worm walked ahead, and she kept recalling in her mind the route the mysterious man had told her, and Worm remembered that the mysterious man said that after leaving Grand Central Station, let her and Turtledove go straight to Proving Ground Zero, which was not too close to Central Station.

First, Worm and Turtledove have to pass through a "business district" attached to Grand Central Station.

Compared to the ruins of the city above ground, the underground institute is more like a real city, and it occupies a large area that not only provides a research space for the staff here, but also provides them with a variety of daily services.

For example, shopping is always a woman's nature, and there is a huge underground research institute, in which there will never be too few female researchers, in order to allow these female researchers to enjoy the fun of shopping in their spare time, so the underground research institute has set up a place called "business district" on the periphery of the central station.

Of course, this is a conjecture made by the worm, and as for why the new empire built such a "business district" in the research institute in the first place, the worm can only guess.

"I think what you're saying makes a lot of sense, that's pretty much it."

The turtledove lost no time in patting the insect's ass, because when dealing with the problems of the mysterious man just now, the turtledove, who had always been obedient to the insects, suddenly sang a contradictory tune with the insects, or it could not be said that it was a contradiction, it should be said that the turtledove expressed a very rare opinion that he was not the same as the insects.

Because of this, the turtledove always felt awkward in his heart, as if he had done something sorry for the little worm, and he was so uncomfortable.

The insect is so smart in ice and snow, although she is used to hearing the turtledove pat her ass, but she still heard the sound of the turtledove at once, the insect walked and suddenly stood still, the turtledove thought that the turtle was angry with himself, he was ready to be scolded, who knew that the turtle slowly turned around and said to the turtledove:

"You didn't do anything wrong."
