Chapter Seventy-Six: Eddie Bullock
California.
The lab is dead again.
Repeated failures in experiments made Carlton Drake a little anxious. One by one, his henchmen, Terry, brought him scruffy, bearded homeless men. Tricking them into this lab only requires a meal, some paltry money, and a bright future promised by the Void.
Once again, Dr. Dora Scholes saw life die before her eyes. This time it's faster and faster. She wanted to stop Carlton, but she didn't dare to take that step easily.
After all, Dora still couldn't hold back the guilt in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey Carlton Drake's orders, and she didn't dare to stop Carlton herself, so she found Eddie Bullock. A journalist, a journalist who always focuses on the bottom story, and the reporter on the big news. He was also the first to dare to expose some of the inhumane experiments of the Life Foundation.
Although I don't know where the other party's intelligence channels come from, this shows that the other party's magical powers are vast. In the absence of a better choice and the inability to trust anyone else, the Eddie Bullock reporter, who had offended Carlton, was the only person Dora could think of to work with.
The other party is a reporter, and the other party has channels to report these inhumane things!
If it is exposed, the Life Foundation will inevitably receive strong attention and accusations, even if it does not affect Carlton in the end, at least it can make the other party throw a mouse and dare not act recklessly.
That's what Dr. Dora was thinking. It was also what she told herself in her heart, only this time! If she fails, she honestly suppresses the guilt in her heart and becomes a tool of Carlton.
Dr. Dora found Eddie Bullock, and by this time another test subject had died in the lab. However, when Dora told Eddie everything clearly, the reporter on the other side who had dared to surprise the disgraceful case of the Life Foundation in front of the camera did not immediately agree to join forces with her.
"Look at me, thanks to you, I haven't worked for months now. My girlfriend left me, my house, my car, I was running out of everything. I can only come to the cheapest convenience store in the neighborhood every day to buy some food. Add gestured to a small convenience store across the street.
"It's all because of what I've done. I don't want to have anything to do with the Life Foundation anymore! I can't help you, you can find someone else. ”
Dora looked at Eddie Bullock, who had not taken care of herself for a long time and had messy hair, and sighed in her heart, she was not a tough and decisive person, otherwise she would not have hesitated for so long before making up her mind to resist Carlton. With Eddie's words so clear and straightforward, she sat in silence for a moment, then stood up and checked out to leave. When she finally left, she pushed a business card down the table in front of Eddie, and said with one last glimmer of hope, "If you change your mind and change your attitude, you can contact me at any time." ”
Dora thought that this might be the end of the day, and that her efforts would not bear fruit, but just a few hours later in the evening, Dora unexpectedly received a call from Eddie's reporter. On the phone, he said he had figured it out and wanted to meet and talk. Dora didn't understand for a while, what did Reporter Eddie go through in the past few hours to make the other party change his mind so quickly.
Conscience is not clear?
Dora couldn't figure it out, but that didn't prevent her from agreeing on an address with the other party to meet.
"What do you want me to do?" After the meeting, compared to the depression when they met a few hours ago, this time the more energetic and capable reporter Eddie asked Dora straight to the point.
"I'll take you quietly into the lab, there won't be anyone in the lab at this time in the evening, you can take some evidence." Dora said what she thought: "Then I will find a way to take you out again, and what you have to do is to expose the evidence you filmed and make a big news." It's your old job, how's that? ”
"Very good way to work together. Each has its own job. You do the internal response, and I will take the evidence. Eddie nodded in approval of Dora's plan.
"Before you enter, you have to listen to me in everything. Don't touch anything once you're inside, and try to make sure that it doesn't make a noise. All right? Dora asked.
"I'll do it." Add thought about it and thought it wasn't difficult to do, so he agreed.
After the two of them discussed, they prepared their tools and drove to the Life Foundation in Dr. Dora's car.
Upon entering the gate, Dora told Eddie to lie down and hide, and after exchanging words with the security guard, she was let in. Along the way, Dora took Eddie to the front of the laboratory silently, God knows how long to lead someone to do this, she calculated in her own mind how long, and how long she observed the movement of the security guard on duty at night.
After opening the door with his card, he pushed him inside. She had already heard the footsteps of the security guards, and she planned to stay outside to deal with the security guards and find a way to send them away.
Eddie dodged into the laboratory, and the purpose of his entry was a small cubicle composed of tempered glass, in which lay emaciated human bodies, and on the LCD screen in each room, there was also physical information about the human body inside. Most of the corpses inside were dying, or dead, and had not yet had time to be cleaned up, and had just died.
Eddie took out his tools, room by room, and filmed all the information and pictures little by little, but at the end of the shooting, a familiar woman suddenly got up from the ground on her stomach, rushed to the tempered glass door with her head, clenched her fists with both hands, and pounded the glass wall hard, and at the same time shouted frantically as if she had seen a savior: "Eddie, Eddie!" It's me! Maria! Are you here to save me? It's horrible here, you save me! Let me out! Let me out! ”
Eddie was startled by the woman who suddenly pounced on her, and Eddie subconsciously put his hand on the door lock, and then got a reminder that he didn't have permission. Under Maria's frantic pleading, Add forgot Dora's advice to stay quiet, looked around, found a hard metal object, and began to smash the glass wall with all his might.
Cracked streaks appeared on the flat glass walls, shattered by Eddie and Maria's extraordinary strength. However, the shattering of the glass wall at this time also awakened the security mechanism of the laboratory. The red warning light and the warning tone begin to sound. When Add wanted to pull Maria away, Maria, who had been awake before, suddenly seemed to be crazy, and directly pounced, throwing him to the ground, holding his neck with both hands, and a black liquid penetrated into Eddie's body along her hands.
