The basement was converted from the former medical room. Curly guessed that the place was in the core area and had a large area, so it had some important functions. It might be a laboratory or an operating room, and it was very likely that human specimens were stored there.
It would also be great if it was a central control room, from where you could clearly explore the specific area distribution of the basement and avoid taking detours.
They followed the faint light from the light strips and, referring to the map drawn by Yuan Yuxue, quickly passed through the narrow corridors that seemed to have no end.
Perhaps it was the confidence given by the map. Even though the long, repetitive, dark corridors would give people a certain psychological pressure, because the destination was clear, there was no fear of the unknown at this time. The three of them shuttled through it very quickly, just like they were going to work.
The only thing that made people feel strange was the extremely low temperature.
It was certainly cold in the hall, but unlike the coldness brought by the wind and snow that seeped in from the outside, the corridor in the basement was filled with an indescribable damp coldness that penetrated into the bones, filled every muscle, and made the limbs feel heavy.
In order to facilitate movement, Ah Jin was not wearing thick clothes, but normal clothes, and she also put on a camel-colored windbreaker. However, the damp and cold feeling was becoming more and more unbearable... It even made Ah Jin have a terrifying intuition that something was lurking behind her, which was why she was so cold.
She pulled her collar up slightly and reminded them in confusion: "Do you feel... getting colder?"
"Hmm?" Curly-haired had an unusual physique, so he was certainly not sensitive to changes in external temperature. He shook his head and asked Yuan Yuxue, "Hey, are you cold?"
Robots are less sensitive than humans. After all, they have to adapt to many extreme and harsh environments. Yuan Yuxue also replied calmly: "It's not cold."
So Curly quickly looked away and gave her an indescribable look.
Although she didn't say anything, her face was full of emotion of being "spoiled".
Ah Jin: “…”
She squeezed her fingers in frustration.
But Yuan Yuxue knew the difference between him and humans. Thinking of how vulnerable humans were, and looking at the textiles on his body that only served as a simple cover—
Although the effect was minimal, Yuan Yuxue still spoke.
"I can give you the clothes." Yuan Yuxue said.
Curly: “???”
Without waiting for Yuan Yuxue to do anything, he quickly took off his coat, held it in front of Ajin, raised his eyes and said, "You are a step late." This sentence was said to Yuan Yuxue.
He then said to Ajin, "Don't thank me too much."
Ah Jin: "…Thank you, I'm not cold anymore. I just wanted to say that there seems to be something strange here."
The coldness stopped at the end of the passage, and it was much lessened. But they couldn't stay there, they had to pass through two more partitions to reach the central area.
The doors at the end of the road were all of the same shape, huge white double doors quietly closed, about three meters high, unlocked, with silver metal handles. Although upon closer inspection, the appearance of the door had nothing to do with a hospital, it always reminded people of the smell of disinfectant.
The fear of the unknown spread again.
