"Let's go down and take a look first. We should be able to find some clues. (1_1)" The blood owl did not hesitate for too long and waved to the tailor to enter the password for the electronic door.
From the very beginning, Zuo Dao had been stroking his chin as if reasoning. His eyes were constantly rolling. Others didn't know what he was thinking and what he could come up with. Anyway, when the electronic door opened, he also entered the corridor behind the door.
"You said with certainty before that Edmund Li's e-cell sample was exposed to p
olife
ation solution, which led to this series of disasters, but what is your basis? Did you witness the leaking process with your own eyes? "Zuo Dao suddenly asked from behind.
The tailor turned back and glanced at Zuo Dao, and then his eyes became uncertain. He recalled: "At that time... the guerrillas suddenly attacked the research institute, the alarm was triggered, and the personnel in the monitoring room began to communicate in the communication equipment. Reporting the damage everywhere and the location of the enemy. The other party was not a fool. They quickly realized this and began to destroy our monitoring equipment. As a result, the images that could be received by the monitoring room disappeared one by one, including our current situation. In this place, the signals of several cameras were quickly interrupted, but the dangerous goods warehouse also has a comprehensive alarm system. Once this corridor is invaded, the alarm will be triggered, and the deepest gate only has us. Only a few high-ranking officers in evolution can open it. If the gate is forcibly destroyed, the self-destruction device of the warehouse will be activated, burning everything in the warehouse and the intruder who just destroyed the gate to ashes."
Zuo Dao continued; "So, all these mechanisms were triggered at that time, right?"
"Yes. Then starting from the area where we just entered the corridor, the mutated creatures began to expand outward. People were killed one after another, and what happened next can be witnessed by witnesses, and I was one of them. Of course, I The place where I saw the monster was not in such a deep area, and I had no contact with the source of pollution, so I was able to escape," said the tailor.
"Understood. That is to say, when the monster appeared, you explained the reason through a 'reasonable inference'." The blood owl walking in front took over, his tone full of sarcasm.
"Are there any witnesses to the earthquake and nuclear bomb explosion?" the tailor replied: "This is the only conclusion based on common sense."
"But judging from the current situation, it is wrong." When the blood owl said this, he had already seen a huge damaged gate at the end of the corridor.
"What's going on?" The tailor soon saw this scene. 1 (1) said in surprise.
The blood owl walked into the door. The interior space of the dangerous goods warehouse is very vast, and the volume may be close to the size of a football field. However, at this moment, the lighting equipment inside has been destroyed, and the red light source in the distance of the corridor only illuminates a small area in the warehouse close to the gate.
The four people stood there, with a very strange smell coming from their noses. It didn't sound like burnt smell, but the smell of some kind of chemical preparation. Although it was pitch black in front of me. But they all knew that there was nothing in the darkness. Because if the ancestor of mutated creatures exists in it, even if its body is not huge enough to fill the entire space, at least it will have a "sense of existence".
"I can't believe it..." the tailor said in shock: "If the monster exists, it can only be here. Could it be that the actual size of its body can pass through the corridor behind us?"
The blood owl raised his neck and looked up: "Back to the question just now, let's say that the guerrillas are much more powerful than you think. They planned from the beginning to plunder the contents of the dangerous goods warehouse. That's why they attacked Here, after destroying the surveillance equipment, I kidnapped one of your members, or I have placed an undercover agent inside you. I opened the door at the top of the corridor for them, and then came to the gate of this warehouse." He lowered his head again, this action foreshadowed Then his thoughts were finalized: "What can they rely on to destroy this huge thickened net alloy gate?"
The tailor thought about it and replied: "They can't do it. Even with my ability, it will take time to break through this door... and..." He looked back again and said: "The current state of this gate. It was obviously not destroyed by space abilities, but blasted away by high-level ability users using energy."
The blood owl said: "Yes, so this hypothesis cannot be established. Then, what happened here has nothing to do with the guerrillas. The chaos after the research institute was invaded was just an opportunity to create a cover for those who broke into the warehouse. He paused: "A master came here when the institute was in chaos. He used legal electronic instructions to open the door at the top of the corridor. He came down, destroyed the gate, and triggered the self-destruction device of the warehouse. Then , the things in the warehouse were naturally destroyed instantly by the chemical fuel. And 'he' was standing here at the gate at that time. He was obviously made of flesh and blood, but he was as unaffected as the pure alloy in the corridor and survived the flames. Come down,"
"Is he a high-level ability user with abilities related to flames?" the tailor said, and a person's name immediately flashed in his mind.
"It's so interesting. You might be suspicious of me next minute." Fengxuan's voice sounded from behind them.
Zuo Dao was responsible for cutting off the rear. Of course, he had known that Fengxuan was approaching this place for a long time. Since he was one of his own, he kept silent.
"You came at the right time," said the blood owl.
Fengxi threw a cigar to him: "If you want to talk about me, I'd better be there."
The blood owl took the cigar and put it in his mouth: "If suspicion comes to your head, it means that his thinking has not followed mine at all."
The tailor's zombie face didn't show any displeasure. He just asked, "Could your words point to other answers?"
Zuo Dao sneered: "Don't you understand? What the blood owl means is that there is a 90% chance that it was someone inside of you who did it. Only the internal staff of evolution will know the location of the dangerous goods warehouse from the beginning, so when researching After the place was broken into, the man went straight here and used the password to open the electronic door above. When he opened the electronic door at the top, it certainly did not trigger the warehouse's security alarm, but when he destroyed the surveillance camera at the entrance to the corridor, it did Otherwise, you will only find out that the warehouse has been invaded when the self-destruct device is activated."
The tailor said: "Our organization doesn't have that kind of..." He stopped mid-sentence. Because he realized that he almost leaked the secret, it was not a good idea to casually say that there were no flame-related ability users in the organization. He immediately changed his words: "I understand... If that person is a ferocious master, regardless of the type of ability, he can use energy to destroy the gate, or he can use energy to protect himself from being burned to death."
The blood owl had actually deduced an answer. He turned around and said to the tailor: "I remember you said that Edmund Lee's E-cell was divided into two parts. One of them is placed here. , and the other one was used to transform the new 'Butcher', that person... where is he now?"
"You mean he did all this?" Abraham, who had been standing by and couldn't say anything, asked in surprise.
"What? Is he an acquaintance of yours?" Fengxian asked. From the uniform on the other person's body, he deduced that the stranger in front of him should be a survivor belonging to evolution.
"We originally worked in a laboratory. His name is Rahman, and he is a parallel-level ability user." Abraham replied, "But he didn't show any abnormality after inheriting the Butcher's E-cells."
The tailor said: "He is right. We have detailed data records after Rahman received the e-cell transplant. This was a few months ago, and there was no abnormality in his body, not even his ability level. Signs of improvement.”
"Have any of you two seen this man named Rahman before or after the chaos, or know his whereabouts?" The blood owl completely ignored Fang Tong's nonsense explanation and directly asked a key question.
The tailor and Abraham looked at each other several times. Neither of them said a word. The blood owl didn't need them to speak, because this reaction was already an answer.
"You may have underestimated or misjudged the direction of mutation produced by the E-cells left by Edmund Lee." The blood owl said: "Maybe that thing is not as simple as you think. When it is combined with humans, The resulting variation is not directly reflected in physiological changes.”
"Can it make people's brains smarter? Or... crazy?" Zuo Dao continued.
"I wouldn't use words like shrewd. 'Smart' and 'crazy' are both words used to describe the same kind of things from a human point of view. Think about what we are dealing with, and you can get out of this thinking frame." The blood owl said: "If that thing has a non-human species... such as the way of thinking of 'Dark Water'. Then consider this person named Rahman as a suspect, and his behavior will be logical."
"Huh..." Fengxuan puffed out smoke: "So. Our goal has changed. From now on, what we want to find and eliminate is... one person?"
"No, the goal has not changed, it has increased." Blood Owl replied, before he finished speaking, he turned to say: "You don't need to stay here anymore, I will handle the next thing alone. "
"What's going on? What did you think of?" Fengxuan asked.
The blood owl didn't answer. He turned around and took a step forward. Suddenly he stretched out an arm and strangled Abraham's neck. Before the others could react, he had already thrown him out and into the darkness of the dangerous goods warehouse. middle. A few seconds later, from the depths of the dark and empty warehouse, there was the sound of a human body hitting the metal wall.
"What are you doing?" the tailor asked in surprise.
"You are no longer of use." The blood owl did not look back, he still stared into the darkness: "You can leave with Fengxuan and Zuo Dao, and go their separate ways after getting to the ground, or you can stand here and continue to chatter. sentence, and then I broke his neck."
At this time, Feng Yan also noticed what it was. He looked at the direction of the sound in the darkness and said to the blood owl: "Do you really want to deal with this thing alone?"
The blood owl just replied: "Death, or escape, the three of you have the same choice."
After hearing this, Zuo Dao immediately understood and patted Fengxuan on the shoulder: "Go quickly, we can't help here." After saying that, he turned around and ran away, not even as fast as he escaped from Tidal Prison. Time is fast.
Feng Yan didn't say anything else. He took one last look at the thing in the dark, turned around and started running. (To be continued...)
