As the door closed, there was only a living person standing in the pool core, and the emergency light above his head kept flashing, and the whole room was terrifyingly dark.
The pool core slowed down his breathing, and the whole room contained only the sound of one person's heartbeat, but he felt that the replicas in the freezer were also alive, and the faint sound of breathing was enough to force Crazy a sane person.
In the current situation, it is difficult for Chi Xin to comfort himself that the other party has not yet sent a message. He calmed down and gradually retreated to the position against the wall. All weapons were ready in the air, and they were ready to fight. Prepare.
With the sound of "di-", the red light that had been flashing above his head went out.
The whole room was plunged into absolute darkness, with only the small blue light on the freezer representing working, and a faint white mist.
"Huh." Chi Xin's long knife showed a little scabbard in his hand.
At this time, a sizzling electric current sounded, and Chi Xin followed the sound and found a TV in the corner of the room.
The TV was playing rolling snow at the moment, making Chi Xin's face pale.
Chi Xin paused, and temporarily retracted the knife.
If the other party has sent a message, but does not want to directly confront it, then through a certain medium is undoubtedly the best choice.
Sure enough, after a while, an old face finally emerged from the rolling snow screen in this ancient TV set from an unknown year.
He had snow-white hair, and the collar of his white coat was stained with an unknown liquid mixed with yellow and green. His eyes were calm and mad. As soon as the display came, he rushed to the screen and stared at the pool core.
The whole screen is full of 's big face.
The core looked calmly.
The old man stared at Chi Xin for a while, and the master said, "I know you."
"Oh." Chi Xin said, "Actually, I also know that I am quite famous."
Before, they sent so many people to arrest them, and now they said they knew what was strange. Chi Chi thought sarcastically.
Without waiting for the old man to speak again, Chi Xin grabbed and said, "Where's Raphael? Didn't you always want to find me? Since I'm here, why hide and hide."
"Raphael?" The old man repeated the name, his face suddenly strange.
Chi Xin squinted, and when he heard Dr. Sai Ruo talking before, the faint sense of something wrong came back again, he stabilized his mind, and said calmly: "After looking for me for so long, this time What else are you doing with a shrewd tortoise? Hurry up and let me come here, you guys are not qualified to talk to me."
The old man opened his mouth, with an expression like crying and laughing on his face, as if breathing hard, he gasped a few times: "Where did you know this name from?"
"Why, you are only allowed to observe me, and I am not allowed to observe you?" Chi Xin said.
The old man glanced under his sanity, and was looking at the nearest freezer, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's No. 1, right? No. 1 really escaped. " paused, then muttered, "No, No. 1 didn't destroy the world? Instead, he got into trouble with you?"
Chi Xin listened to the words, and the god gradually became fierce.
He walked forward step by step, passed through the rows of faces that looked like old friends, went straight to the TV, and looked down at the people inside with a contemptuous attitude.
"No. 1." Chi Xin's voice was cold, " has a name and a surname, called Lou Chen."
The old man's eyes turned to the one, as if shocked by the power contained in his words, he pondered for a moment: "Yes, it's Lou Chen, when he came here only a few days ago. When he was a month old, he was named No. 1, and since then it has been his name, and as for his real name, no one remembers it."
Hearing these words, and seeing the boy's childhood in the former freezer, Chi Xin felt a surge of anger and sadness.
I tried so hard to escape from here, and I tried so hard to emphasize my name, but these demons who deprived me of my name and plundered my life are still here with the attitude that it has nothing to do with me , commenting on why the name is not known, just like treating the animals on the farm, anyway, it is the fate of being slaughtered in the end, what is the difference between the name and the number
What is all this for!
Chi Xin lowered his head, and the old man on the TV didn't notice the rage, but continued to ask, "No. 1... Where is Lou Chen? Is he with you?"
His voice was mixed with strong anticipation and excitement.
Chi Xin curled the corners of his mouth coldly: "Why, the pigs you raised ran away, are you in a hurry?" He glanced around and said sarcastically, "Isn't there a lot of alternatives, it's not enough for you to toss around? of?"
"A replica is a replica after all, how can it be used for the body." The old man said naturally, "I heard that this time, besides you, a lot of people were caught?"
At this time, a woman with cold white skin and short hair poked her head from the side and whispered a few words beside the old man.
The core of the battery intuition that this should be Dr. Sai Ruo who just came to check.
The old man frowned: "Only myself can resist ys-c1? Fake, there must be someone pretending to be here, take me to see it for myself."
Saying that, they turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait."
How could Chi Xin let them avoid the trouble of finding their companions alone? Han Zimo is not a researcher, maybe he doesn't know Jing Xiubai, and once he lets this old man pass by, he immediately recognizes him
They never imagined that after so many years, this laboratory not only did not let go, but also produced a lot of clones of teenagers. The age of the body, that's not bad.
Hearing Chi Xin's voice, the old man realized that there was still this person, and waved his hand to the screen impatiently: "Don't worry, I'll check if there is No. 1 among those people, come back and try again. deal with you."
"Deal with me? I think you are used to being arrogant, thinking that everyone is a pig to be slaughtered by you."
Chi Xin sneered, and slowly drew the long knife in the old man's amazed spirit.
's wrist tilted, and with a crisp sound, slammed open the freezer compartment marked "No. 1-23" in front of him.
Then he pointed the tip of the knife straight at the screen: "If you want, you can, let Raphael come, or I will kill all your treasures one by one, so that you don't even have a replica. Useful."
The old man stopped in place, Dr. Sai Ruo stood behind him, opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again.
His eyes looked at the pool core through the screen, and there was something deep in the green eyes.
Chi Xinlu's hand was able to keep the old man behind.
"You know Raphael, but you don't know me?" The old man looked strange, "What did you know when you looked for Raphael so persistently?"
Chi Xin was stopped by the question, with a hint of doubt: "Why should I know about you?"
"My father is Dr. Norton Hughes, a world-renowned biochemist and biophysicist before the end of the world. His name has been written into the textbooks of various countries. In your country, it is still a must-have text for middle school students." Dr. Sai Ruo timely Avoiding a more embarrassing situation, he looked at his father and lowered his voice, "He is also Arthur Raphael's teacher."
The pool core was shocked.
The amount of information contained in this sentence is very large, and it took a few seconds to slow down. Looking at the complex old man on the screen, I thought of the golden retriever who had been in the dream many times, and the two faces alternated. , let faint for a while.
As for the famous scientists who have written them into textbooks... is not from this world at all.
Relatively speaking, the latter is the more shocking one.
After being silent for a while, he said, "You two master and apprentice are in one spirit, making the world look like this. It's worthy of being a master and apprentice."
The old man, that is, Dr. Hughes, laughed strangely: "So that's what you think?"
The faint sense of disobedience disappeared again, and Chi Xin frowned.
Dr. Hughes turned around and took the camera step by step: "Do you think that Raphael and I are united in an attempt to destroy the world-or control the world? So you tried so hard to find this place, in fact, to kill Kill us and end this apocalypse, right? I think about it, maybe with delusional thoughts, trying to find a vaccine or serum to cure the infected humans."
After guessing all the plans of Chi Xin and everyone, Lu showed an air of gaining the upper hand: "Am I right?"
"Exactly."
Unexpectedly, Chi Xin didn't panic at all, but slowly raised the corner of his mouth: "You can state your guilt, or exonerate yourself—in addition, everything you said All will be presented as evidence in court and have no right to remain silent."
Saying that, he took out a small video recorder out of thin air, turned on the switch and pointed it at the TV screen: "Speak."
In the cramped video recorder, Dr. Hughes' face twisted.
"How dare you!" Finally, unable to hold back his temper, he growled loudly and said, "How dare you stand here and yell at me, a little girl who received my research benefits? You think I'm Raphael to make a name for yourself. Are you a bastard? Let me tell you that you can record it, and show it to those lingering human beings to see if they dare to judge me, and if they dare to judge their only savior!"
Looks very angry, and the gray hair is about to explode. If Dr. Sai Ruo didn't pull it in time, he would have been able to hit the screen and hit the core.
Chi Xin tilted his head from behind the video recorder and asked suspiciously, "Savior? Is this the title you gave yourself? Now, I admit that you are shameless, no one dares to stand tall. Judge you on your level."
Dr. Hughes stared at the screen, as if to stare the TV into a hole.
After the talk was over, Chi Xin's expression settled down, grasping the previous doubts: "You and Raphael are at odds, and even fell out with him, then what is going on in all this, what is the zombie virus? How come, and those potions that can turn humans into beasts, does it have anything to do with you?"
Dr. Hughes, who was staring at the video recorder, did not notice that Dr. Sairo, who was standing behind Hughes, suddenly changed his face when he heard the word "beastization".
But he turned his head away immediately, and didn't let anyone make a difference, including his father.
"Ha, you want to know the truth, don't you?" Dr. Hughes smiled grimly, "It doesn't matter if you know it, I'm looking forward to seeing the expressions of you after knowing the wrong place and wasting your scheming."
Chi Xin was silent, "So, it's not you who got the zombie virus, but an organization named Tobila headed by Raphael."
As soon as these words came, a subtle sense of suddenness enveloped Chi Xin.
I see.
I finally know what the sense of disobedience I have been feeling is.
This hidden plot has never been experienced in the movie. Everyone, including Jing Xiubai, subconsciously thought that the laboratory and Tobila were one. There are actually two terrorist organizations with the idea of destroying the world.
It was because of the division between the master and the apprentice.
Dr. Hughes did not answer, but the default attitude was already the answer to the question.
The pool core was still a little dazed, and he looked at the surrounding freezer again, and quickly moved away as soon as he came into contact with those similar to his friends.
Looking back at the screen: "Since you and Raphael are not in the same group, and even want to restrain them, why arrest innocent people? According to your own words, Lou Chen can't be sold to you by himself. Right? And Jing Xiubai, and... me." pursed his lips, "You want to find me, presumably not to invite me as a guest?"
"You're very smart," said Dr. Hughes. "What's your name?"
Unexpectedly, the person who has been looking for does not even know the name of . Chi Xin was stunned. After all, the person from Raphael's side, but a person who can accurately call . name.
Of course, there is nothing to evade, so he answered directly: "Pool core."
", Chi Xin." Dr. Hughes's expression became calmer, "You are a little different from what I imagined. If you know about power potions, you should know that all power potions have more or less effects on the user. Or less of an impact, it's just not obvious."
Chi Xin remembered what Louis had said, which coincided with what Hughes said. He nodded and shook his head again: "Isn't there a perfect potion?"
Dr. Hughes sneered: "Perfect? As long as it is a drug used on people, how can there be absolute perfection without side effects? Is this the banner of Raphael, the so-called magic potion is perfect, And then wantonly collecting money? Only a fool who doesn't understand it would believe it."
Chi Xin was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed: "You mean, all supernatural medicines have side effects, and there is no so-called perfect medicine?!"
Thinking of Jing Xiubai's calm and gentle face, and thinking of Jiang Congyun's gentle and affectionate smile, a sense of urgency spread in my heart.
"The so-called power potion is nothing but the precursor to the zombie virus that caused the outbreak in the last days," said Dr. Hughes, "or maybe Raphael did some modifications to it without giving up? God knows. What exactly did you do to get it done in such a situation."
The pool core was still thinking about the side effects and did not respond for a while.
Dr. Hughes continued: "There are different views on psychic potions, and this is also the beginning of my break with . I think this psychic potion is a waste product, in the form of overdrafting the user's life in exchange for just a few years, or a few The powerful power of the month, which goes against biological morality, should be discarded. On the other hand, we believe that this is the key to human evolution, and he refuses to give up research at anything."
Chi Xin lifted: "Everything, the flow of viruses, the outbreak of zombies, the birth of various monsters, are all because of this magical potion?"
"Yes." Dr. Hughes nodded, "The mistake has already been made, and we can only find a way to solve it and make up for it, which is irreversible."
"Then why are you staying here and guarding the door with zombies?" Chi Xin had another hunch, "Don't tell me, you are researching the so-called vaccine?"
Dr. Hughes stopped talking, was silent for a while, and looked at Chi Xin with a complicated look: "You are indeed very smart, you don't look like someone who has used supernatural potions at all."
When this sentence was mentioned again, Chi Xin's heart thumped.
"What are the side effects of those who have used supernatural medicines?" asked softly, "Lou Chen and Jing Xiubai are such important experimental subjects, you probably won't forget them?"
Dr. Hughes showed an expression of sudden realization, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, the tracking signal on the Perfect has always been with your wave, is it coming too? Sairuo! Sairo! If you hear it? The three most important experimental subjects in the world are all under our control, and we have won!"
Sai Ruo frowned: "Father."
"Why, aren't you happy, Sai Ruo?" Dr. Hughes showed a frenzied expression, "After so long, we finally saw the dawn of victory, aren't you happy?"
Sai Ruo raised her complicated eyes and looked at Chi Xin, but did not speak.
Chi Xin's mind turned sharply, and an idea was born quickly.
"Dr. Hughes." It was just the first time Chi Xin called him, he put away the video recorder and expressed his attitude, "Since we have the same enemy and the same desire, we don't have to make trouble. At this point. You continue to work on the vaccine, and we go to kill Raphael, it will be a pleasant cooperation."
There was a sighing expression on Sai Ruo's face.
"Is that what you think?" Dr. Hughes said. "You want to work with me?"
"That's right." Chi Xin said calmly, "When there is the greatest possibility to develop a vaccine, you are the one who will end the end of the world. In this case, we don't have to stand against each other, as long as we divide labor and cooperate, Rafi You must not be our opponent."
"You're very smart, but you're also naive." Dr. Hughes sighed.
The pool core looks .
"What kind of research do you think the so-called vaccine needs to rely on? Do you rely on me to sit in the laboratory and think?" Dr. Hughes waved and pointed to the outside, "You know those world-renowned researches. Where did the fruit come from? Without a large accumulation of experimental subjects, how can I stand in front of all the researchers? Scientific research without clinical experience is worthless!" At that time, with a frantic look, "But they are all weak, and the people and zombies they have captured do not meet my requirements. In their words, no matter how much they accumulate, it is useless. It's just a corpse."
This attitude of complete contempt for human life made Chi Xin feel chills in his heart, and silently watched Dr. Hughes' intoxicated speech.
"I have been in the comparison for a long time, only you, Chi Xin, only you three, you are the most perfect king bomb, as long as you are here, you can beat thousands of others. Humans and zombies." Dr. Hughes almost put his face on the camera, "This is the reason why I want to find you, even if there are more replicas, how can they compare with real people? Do you think you are here? Can I escape? I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
A strong sense of crisis struck, and Chi Xin's muscles tightened, and his expression suddenly became awe-inspiring.
The signal from the TV suddenly became intermittent, and Dr. Hughes's hideous face became more distorted. Snowflakes began to occupy the screen again. During the alternation of the normal screen and the snowflake screen up and down, Dr. Hughes's voice was also pulled long and crooked. , it sounds like it came from another world.
"You... destined... not to hold my palm..."
With a bang, the TV's signal went out.
The whole room was pitch black again.
In the darkness, one after another scratching sounded, Chi Xin held his breath, holding the long knife and slowly turning back.
The freezer compartments were all opened.
One by one, "Jing Xiubai" and "Lou Chen" all sat up, all of them turned their heads in unison to the side of the pool core, and there was an inorganic light in their eyes.
"This old thief Hughes, I'm really not afraid of the damage to the replicas." Chi Xin muttered, followed by picking out a "Jing Xiubai", looking at him and asking, "Are you conscious? ?"
"Jing Xiubai" didn't respond, not even a wave from the gods, just like a marionette, mechanically executing orders.
When the people started to climb out, Chi Xin made a decisive decision and slashed with an oblique knife, splitting the nearest "Lou Chen" in half!
The blood of the clone sputtered onto the body, and it felt as warm as a living person.
Chi Xin's heart shuddered, looking at the army of clones surrounded by them, and quickly closed his eyes to make a psychological preparation for himself.
They are not human, not human, not human.
This is not the real Jing Xiubai and Lou Chen, their existence itself is a mistake.
After silently reciting these two sentences, Chi Xin opened his mouth and slashed heavily with the knife, and he had already touched the clone in front of him.
At the same time, quickly pressed the headset in his ear and directly turned on the full channel: "Is anyone there!"
Suddenly, several voices sounded at the same time, Jing Xiubai's voice was overwhelming, and he said clearly: "I'm here."
"There's someone going to your side." Chi Xin said while fighting, "It's too late to say more, Jing Xiubai quickly let everyone go, things are a little different from what we imagined. , but he's definitely trying to hurt you—don't hurt that old man!"
After transmitting the necessary information to them, he left another sentence: "Don't get caught by them, I'll go to you when I'm done."
"I see." Jing Xiubai must know that the situation is urgent, without a word of nonsense, the sound of picking the lock is already coming from the earphone, "Be careful yourself."
The pool cut off contact and looked up at these endless replicas.
No matter their strength or speed, they are no different from ordinary people. For Chi Xin, it is no different from chopping melons and vegetables. After cutting over several times in succession, Chi Xin felt a little bit of doubt at the same time, but also floated. A little wary.
Since Dr. Hughes wanted to arrest him so much, he did not believe that the other party would send such a useless "subordinate".
While he was wondering, a heavy hammer suddenly hit his head, causing his entire head to "hum", causing him to dizzy quickly.
This is... Lou Chen's only conscious attack that can cause damage!
Did these clones actually copy the abilities of the main body
