The "Schroeder Pharmaceuticals" building, with its strange "eye" icon, looks uncomfortable during the day, and it adds a bit of weirdness at night.

There are no entertainment venues in this area, it is not a bustling area, nor is it a residential area.

The building density is very low, and factories and companies are separated by a long distance.

Surface parking spaces and a green belt separate Schroders from other surrounding buildings.

Normally there are several guards walking around here, and some of the room lights are always on. But today it was announced that maintenance was required, and the guards were asked to leave. Most of the lights on each floor were turned off, and it was extremely quiet. There were only gusts of wind blowing the leaves, or

The sound of other hanging objects and decorations.

Inside the building.

Schroeder was hiding in his office.

After being unable to contact the security guard, he turned on his computer and used administrative rights to access the monitoring system.

But it was discovered that all monitoring was ineffective!

It's not like a hacker attack, it's more like direct destruction! There's something wrong in the control room!

For tonight's operation, he stopped monitoring some areas, but in order to control the real-time dynamics of the entire evacuation operation, he still kept some monitors working.

But now, all monitoring is abolished!

However, from his management terminal, you can also view the images before the monitoring failed, and these have not been eliminated.

Quickly retrieve surveillance video.

Schroeder stared at the computer screen.

In the picture, two guards were standing at the door of his office. One of them was smoking, but he was still alert.

Nothing seems abnormal.

Until the monitoring suddenly disconnected.

Can't see anything, don't know anything.

Schroeder did not stay in the office. He retreated again and retreated to the secret room.

Is the office door too fragile, or is the secret room door stronger?

Closing the door to the secret room, Schroeder allowed himself to calm down.

Who is it?

Who wants to attack me at this time?!

The two people who disappeared were his personal security guards and could be trusted. They would not betray him without warning at this time.

Laboratory people?

No, when he was paying people in the laboratory just now, he had already counted and confirmed that everyone was in there and no one was missed.

Those people in the laboratory may have been immersed in joy before they lost consciousness. In such a short period of time, it was impossible to check whether there were any problems with the identity documents and accounts.

Of course his money will not be spent on these abandoned people!

Excluding the security guards and the people in the laboratory, who else is there?

Could it be the investor behind it?

There are many investors behind him, each with their own ideas. As the investigation team approaches, there are also some who want Schroeder to disappear from this world.

But if you look at it in detail, those who can come here to do this at this time have already chosen to help him block the investigation team and delay time.

Moreover, even if those members of the investigation team investigated, it would be difficult to trace those investors from Schroeder.

Given the shrewdness of those investors, there would be no evidence of a threat left behind.

Schroeder also has some information in his hand, but he will not leave it in the company, let alone carry it with him. Anyone who wants to take action will not threaten him in this way.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the person who made the move tonight is an investor.

So, are those "maintenance workers"?

Schroeder took out his cell phone and dialed.

They answered quickly.

"Mr. Schroeder?" It was a familiar voice on the other end of the phone, and he didn't hear anything unusual.

Schroeder felt relieved, took a breath, and said in a calm tone:

"Bacchus, are you still in the building?"

"Yes, we are waiting at the door of the freight channel. When will you come? You need a password to open the door." Bacchus, disguised as a maintenance worker, urged.

"I encountered something here. Send a few people to pick me up. After a pause, "Send a few more people and bring weapons!"

Bacchus heard something.

"It's not a big problem, but it's different from what I said before, Mr. Schroeder."

"Double the reward!"

“Happy to oblige!”

After the phone call, Schroeder hid in the secret room and waited restlessly, but no one came.

Make another call.

The previous scene was repeated.

The phone belonging to Backus was answered, but no one answered.

Inexplicably, Schroeder felt that there was someone on the other side of the phone...or something else.

"Who are you?!" Schroeder growled.

However, there was no answer and the call was hung up directly.

Schroeder felt even more uneasy as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.

Who is playing tricks on me?

still……

Or is it the "unknown existence" that he has been worried about?

Schroeder wants to hide in this secret room all the time, but he has already started the countdown to destruction. The place will explode soon. He can't stay here forever!

There are two sets of cleaning devices, one is electrically driven by the intelligent program control of the central management system, and the other is non-electrically driven.

Even if no one is here, even if the power is completely cut off, it will still start when the time comes.

Schroeder picked up his phone and pulled out the number to contact his ally, Congressman Eli.

Unexpectedly, it can't be opened.

If you want to get in touch again, you have to at least wait until this storm has passed.

Schroeder dialed a few more numbers, but was surprised to find that his cell phone had no signal.

Not only that, the lights that were on were instantly extinguished.

The electrical system also seems to be out of order.

After power is disconnected, some vents will close and others will open.

At this moment, here, I can feel the wind blowing in from outside the secret room, carrying heavy moisture.

No light coming from outside is visible.

The building's backup emergency power supply system also failed after holding on for a while.

The bright light from several electronic devices equipped with batteries seemed to be rapidly being eroded by moisture and was teetering on the edge of failure.

Intense darkness gradually invades this place.

The darkness and the increasingly humid air caused a wonderful catalytic reaction and became thicker, making people almost faint and suffocate.

Counting the time, Schroeder hesitated for a moment, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Even though there was no light, he was already very familiar with this place and could feel the place with his eyes closed.

Remove the rechargeable emergency light from a cabinet.

Open the black suitcase you brought with you.

There is a potion inside. It is a medicine developed based on the fragments of the "god genes" he obtained.

Without stabilizers, there will still be strong side effects. But at this moment, this is the best choice.

He needs to escape from here as soon as possible, but he is already old. Although he has relied on drugs over the years to make him healthier and stronger than his peers, his skills are certainly not as good as those of young people, let alone those who are well-trained.

This medicine has been improved from generation to generation, and now, this is the one I have.

During the experiment, it was not successfully used on experimental subjects, so Schroeder never tried it on himself. He just kept a latest potion with him, just in case. He would not use it unless necessary.

.

But now, it is a necessary situation.
