Chapter 21 Research Institute
Frost Ridge Cold Vein, unexplored area, inside a strange building.
"Hey, No. 9, come out, it's your turn today." Five people in white coats knocked on the door of one of the many similar rooms marked No. 9.
"Here we come, it's so noisy, what's the rush?" A young man with messy black hair, wearing a simple white shirt, and the number nine engraved on his arm came out of the room and was complaining that the five people had arrived too early.
"Don't waste time. Now that you have chosen, hurry up and don't waste time," one of them urged.
"Hey, I can walk by myself." Probably because they disliked No.9 for taking too much time, the other two people directly picked up No.9 and started heading towards the destination.
"Oh, don't you listen to what others say?" No. 9, who was too lazy to break away, simply relaxed and let the two of them carry him away, but he was thinking about other things:
Will we be able to see the outside world in three days? This waiting time really feels like a long time. Are we finally leaving this poor place? I am really looking forward to it.
From the outside, this building looks like an ordinary building, but when you go inside, you will find that the space here can actually accommodate thousands of people. The internal structure of the entire building is very complex and has a variety of complete facilities.
Just like a small city-state, the people living here, without exception, are stamped with numbers somewhere on their bodies.
There are no fixed rules here. What the managers advocate is complete "freedom". Everyone can do anything here, and the managers will not make any interference.
If you want to leave, as long as you can do it, you will be very welcome. If you fail, there will be no excessive punishment. Of course, being killed in the process is another matter. The top managers of this place only treat these
The situation is monitored and some 'activities' are held regularly.
The content of the 'event' is all designed by the administrator, and whether you participate or not depends on your own mood. It is not forced and is completely 'free'. The winner can get good things, including money or powerful equipment. The money here and outside
It is universal. Because of the special nature of the 'activity', there are basically no survivors for losers.
And now the boy with the number nine engraved on it is the participant of this 'event'. The five people wearing white coats are staff members. They usually do not appear in the 'residents', only when the 'event' appears
At the same time, guide the contestants
Road and urging.
"Just be patient, it's about to start." Soon after, the staff in white coats took No. 9 to the place where they were preparing to appear, left No. 9 aside and went out.
"You are as barbaric as ever, really." After being treated roughly, No. 9 dusted himself off and stood up.
After looking around, No. 9's eyes rested on a person. It was a man with very strong muscles. His strong muscles stretched out his clothes until they looked like they were about to explode. His body had clear lines that made people feel
He felt his strength, and the number one hundred and ninety-six was engraved on the back of his hand. At this time, he was talking to another person in front of him. After noticing No. 9's sight, he smiled at No. 9 and shouted:
"Hey, Xun, you're here. Today is an important day, come on." Then he put on a very bright smile, full of confidence.
"Brother Kui!" Boy No. 9 trotted up to the big guy and called out affectionately, "Well, I will work hard. We are just waiting for this day. I will definitely make the operation start normally."
The number here is just a mark. Most of the people here have grown up here since they were young. Some people use numbers as names, and some name themselves, but some are prisoners and the like, and were later sent to
Although the people here will still be printed with numbers, they have names themselves, and this burly man named "Brother Kui" by No. 9 was sent here as a prisoner two years ago.
No. 9 grew up here since he was a child. Before he met 'Brother Kui', he had always used No. 9 as his name. But since meeting 'Brother Kui', he gave No. 9 a name, Xun.
Many people who follow and admire 'Brother Kui' have lived here since childhood, and they all use numbers as their names. Later, this man named Xiao Kui named them, and some of them simply followed him.
Xiao Kui's surname was Xiao, but Xun felt that he was not qualified and refused, and was only willing to accept the first name.
"Relax, don't have any psychological burden. Even if you really fail, don't be sad. After all, we still have other plans." Xiao Kui patted Xun on the shoulder and comforted, "The most important thing is, we can all
Let’s go out alive together and see the world.”
Although Xiao Kui said so, Xun still hoped in his heart that the "hope" of this operation started from himself.
Xun, who has lived here since he was a child, has always lived a very happy life.
Decadent, not knowing why he exists here at all, there are many people who think the same as Xun, but they all died, but Xun survived with his own talent and strong strength.
Xun didn't feel happy. For Xun, he didn't know what it meant to live. He had always just eliminated things when they appeared in front of him.
Xun lived in this facility for sixteen years, until this man named Xiao Kui appeared two years ago. With his absolute strength, he successfully achieved a 100% survival rate in an 'event', which is still the case today.
So far for the first time except when blocked by the administrator.
Just seeing this time, Xun didn't change much. He just felt that a fool had appeared, trying to change the status quo here. But in getting along with Xiao Kui, Xun could feel more and more in this man, maybe he
Something you don't have can be found in him.
More than half a year after Xiao Kui came in, he had many followers in this facility. After that, Xiao Kui also expressed his intention to escape from here.
Anyone who has lived here for a period of time will feel that this is an impossible thing. As early as more than ten years ago, no one would try it again, let alone a large-scale collective action.
However, Xiao Kui has conquered his supporters with his strength and charisma in the past six months. They all feel that if Brother Kui is here, they might really be able to leave here.
After that, those who followed Xiao Kui began to plan a complete escape plan with Xiao Kui. The success of the final plan will depend on three days from now. Now a starting condition is needed. In this 'activity'
Li will do something that is interesting enough for managers, and Xun is the trigger of such an opportunity. Xun also decides that he must become the "hope" of everyone here, Brother Kui.
There are only three nominal managers in this facility, one is the 'Warden', Rock, and the issue of casualties among the managers.
There is also a 'protector'. The candidate for this position is always changing. It can be said that it has the least power. It is replaced every three years. It has the responsibility of preventing people from escaping. However, the replacement this year has not yet arrived. This pair of
It is also an excellent opportunity for Sunda and others.
