Chapter 3 Floors that cannot be reached by elevators

In a research room not far from Xu Mo, through the tempered glass exterior wall, a charred-shaped corpse can be seen on a huge metal table. The corpse had calcified, and the surface was grayish-white, which made Xu Mo a little surprised that this corpse was very much like a human, with two sharp canine teeth in its mouth, this should be the corpse of a vampire.

Every now and then, researchers in lab coats will scrape some calcified powder off the corpse with a carving knife, place it on glassware, and with the help of a microscope, record some research data.

Xu Mo, who was observing the laboratory, suddenly felt a little abnormal around him, and then his trouser leg was pulled, his body tensed involuntarily, and he looked down, only to see that there was a little girl of five or six years old at his feet.

The little girl has blonde hair, a round fleshy face with a pair of big watery eyes, wears a pink dress, and holds a large plush koala bear in her right hand. Seeing that the big man in front of her noticed herself, the little girl let go of Xu Mo's trouser legs, put her fingers in her mouth and held it, and looked at Xu Mo with big eyes sparkling.

Seeing her cute appearance, Xu Mo was instantly defeated, squatted down, and asked softly with a smile, "Little guy, what's your name?" ”

"Layla, my name is Layla, and she's Misha!" Layla held up the plush koala bear and said slurredly.

"Layla, tell uncle, where are your mom and dad?" Xu Mo asked with a smile.

"Mom and Dad are at work, and Misha is playing with Layla!" Layla puffed out her cheeks and hugged the big koala bear a little lonely.

Xu Mo frowned, stood up and looked at the laboratory, where her parents probably worked. This is a heavy place, and this little girl does not know where to sneak out, and if she is allowed to run around, there is a high risk of encountering danger.

"Layla!" When Xu Mo was looking around, a middle-aged man in a white coat ran from behind, the man wore a pair of black-framed glasses, his body was thin, he was sweating profusely and gasping a few times, leaning over to pick up Layla.

Xu Mo looked at the man who ran over, checked it in the soul mark, and found that there was no identity information of this man, so he immediately took a stride, blocked in front of the man, protected Layla behind him, and looked at the middle-aged man indifferently, "Who are you?" ”

"I ...... I'm Dr. Hansen and this is my daughter! The man was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly.

"Why haven't I seen you on this level!" Xu Mo vigilantly unfastened the holster on his waist and held the handle.

"I work on the 26th floor, you are a guard on the 23rd floor, it's normal not to see me!" Dr. Hansen wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled awkwardly.

"26th floor?" Xu Mo's eyes narrowed, "I want to ask my superiors for verification!" ”

"No, wait, Mr. Guard! I know it's against the safety rules to get out of the 26th floor, but I'm looking for Layla, please...... Leave me alone this time, okay? Dr. Hansen's forehead sweated again, and he pleaded in a low voice.

"The elevator is only 25 floors, how did you get from the 26th floor to the 23rd floor, show me the ID card!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he said seriously.

"Yes...... From that side of the secure passage, my ID card can be monitored! Han Sen said hesitantly, took out his identity card and handed it to Xu Mo.

Next, Hansen explained that Layla was from the dormitory through the elevator to the 23rd floor, and although Hansen's wife also worked here, she could not enter the 23rd floor through the elevator's surveillance camera, so she had to inform Hansen, who was working on the 26th floor, to come and pick up her daughter. As for Layla's little bit, it was obvious that the camera in the elevator didn't observe her at all.

After carefully checking the identity card, Xu Mo let go of the gun, squatted down and smiled at Layla: "Layla, is he your father?" ”

"Hmmm! Father! Layla's smiling face showed two dimples and hugged Hansen's thighs.

"Thank you, Mr. Guard! Thank you, Layla, uncle! Hansen quickly picked up Layla and walked towards the elevator, apparently to send Layla back to the dormitory.

"Thank you, uncle!" Layla shouted at Xu Mo in a milky voice.

Xu Mo smiled and waved his hand, and when he saw the father and daughter turn into the safe passage, a fine light flashed in his eyes, 26th floor!

In the following time, Xu Mo fulfilled his duties as a guard and began patrolling on the 23rd floor. In this layer of the laboratory, there are more than ten guards, and basically all of them know Xu Mo's plot identity. However, these guards used their eyes to communicate with Xu Mo at most, and when patrolling, even if they staggered, they didn't take the initiative to speak, obviously because the internal work system was very strict.

This kind of patrol work is very boring, all the staff in the laboratory building are completely cut off from the outside world, although the salary is very high, but there are no entertainment activities and interpersonal communication at all, and it is no wonder that the Cole who Xu Mo gave up will use drugs to pass the free time.

The head of the guard was a bald black man named Hunter, who mostly stayed in the monitoring room except for the occasional patrol. Although Xu Mo had no idea about the research being conducted in many research rooms, under his special observation, he found that all of these studies revolved around the corpse of the vampire.

During the work, researchers would constantly enter the room where the corpse was located, take some of the corpse powder, and then solemnly bring it back to their own research room for various studies.

During the patrol, Xu Mo will also pay attention to the movements of Dinah and Blakeney from time to time, although the contact between the two companions has been unilaterally blocked by him, but their location and team call, Xu Mo can still see it.

After eight hours of working as a guard, Xu Mo was finally replaced by other guards, and he was able to escape and return to his dormitory room. The guards' private rooms are not equipped with surveillance equipment, and Westerners still respect personal privacy.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Mo turned into the bathroom, took off his clothes, put them into his personal storage space, faced the washbasin naked, grabbed the edge of the basin hard, and began to let out a low and suppressed roar from his mouth.

Soon, a hideous face with long black whip-like hair and four long fangs on the side of his mouth appeared in the washing mirror, and for the first time in this world, in addition to the three major races, another powerful fighting race - the Predator.

"Smack!" The nails embedded in the washbasin, with a broken piece of porcelain, Xu Mo took out the Silver Star Martial Weapon Box and buckled his right arm, slowly put on the steel mask, and clicked his fingers on the Silver Star Martial Weapon a few times, activated the stealth system, and slowly disappeared in front of the mirror.

More than ten minutes later, Xu Mo came to the safe passage from the 25th floor to the 26th floor, looking at the steel gate in front of him that was as thick as the door of a bank vault, Xu Mo quietly squatted down by the wall and began a long wait.

"Click!" A series of sounds alarmed Xu Mo, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and the steel floodgates in front of him were opening. Xu Mo smiled silently with a fangs behind his mask, and it seemed that the two-hour patient wait had ushered in a harvest.

"Toot toot!" Xu Mo had just flashed through the steel gate, and the alarm bell immediately sounded inside.

Behind the steel gate is a tunnel about two meters wide and ten meters long, and there is another steel gate at the end of the road. As soon as the alarm bell rang, the steel gate slowly closed, and white smoke began to erupt from the corridor, which was shown to be ether by the low-level artificial intelligence of the steel mask.

"Instantaneous!" The 26-layer strict monitoring system made Xu Mo startled, and he immediately unleashed his maximum speed and flashed out of the corridor before the steel gate.

The Predator's stealth device is just a light refraction system, and these monitoring systems obviously have other equipment, at least metal and thermal monitoring devices can allow Xu Mo to reveal his location. Xu Mo, who really entered the 26th floor, did not take action immediately, but once again hid in a corner to observe the situation.

Soon, many guards arrived at the entrance of the 26th floor of the corridor, and began to check the entire corridor, and after confirming that there was no one inside, the guards relaxed and turned off the alarm bell.

After the guards left, Xu Mo walked out of the hidden place and began to look at the situation in front of him. Unlike the 23rd floor, which is separated from many research rooms by tempered glass, this is a semicircular hall. There are many instruments and equipment in the hall, and researchers in white coats shuttle between various instruments from time to time, busy with their own care.

Directly in front of the hall is a large surveillance screen, which is divided into many small screens, each corresponding to a small cell. There were more or less one or more inmates in these cells, and some of these inmates were very normal, reading and sleeping. Among these prisoners, Xu Mo also saw the shadow of Blakeney.

Other prisoners behaved very unusually, wandering around the room restlessly, occasionally banging their heads on the walls, and some even engaged in some self-mutilation. However, looking at the many white coats in front of the surveillance screen, their expressions were very calm, and they were not moved by the self-harm of these prisoners, and they did not even ask the guards to stop them.

Looking at the small screens one by one, Xu Mo's pupils slowly shrank, and he finally saw some patterns in the many small screens. The cell numbers on the monitor screen from left to right, the more normal the prisoner is on the left, and the more abnormal the prisoner is on the right. The prisoner on the far right screen is basically shackled on all limbs, and even has a thick collar around his neck, chained to the corner like a dog.

The prisoners had red eyes, fell on all fours, had long, pointed nails on their hands, four canines sharp as knives on their upper and lower teeth, sticky saliva dripping from their mouths, and a constant growl in their throats like mad dogs. The cell they were in was a mess, littered with claw and tooth marks they had left behind.

"Toot toot!" The alarm bell sounded again on the 26th floor, but this time it was obviously not related to Xu Mo.

"Prisoner No. 56 has escaped! She's headed for the 27th floor, stop her! A white coat exclaimed.

"There aren't enough guards on the 26th and 27th floors, Hunter, let the guards on the upper floors come down and help!" A uniformed guard leader shouted over his walkie-talkie. Hearing the shouts of the head of the guards, Xu Mo grinned at the corners of his mouth and disappeared into the dark......

A few minutes later, Xu Mo, who had changed his face again, passed through the safe walkway openly and rushed to the 27th floor. As soon as he entered the 27th floor, Xu Mo saw the whole situation on this floor.

The setting of this level is very simple, and there are only two vertical amniotic fluid medical boxes connected to numerous leather tubes, and there is a woman in each of the two medical boxes. In front of one of the medical boxes stood a teenage girl with red eyes and sharp canine teeth at Xu Mo and the other guards.

Xu Mo hurriedly glanced at the medical box, and was just about to turn his gaze to the prisoner girl, but he froze his body, turned his head again like lightning, and looked at the woman in the other medical box.
