0117 Chapter 3: The Unbelievable Kidnapping Case (Section 27)
Zhen Cheng could be said to have suffered a loss from the firefighters by trusting too much in his own ability to identify people.
Of course, in fact, it was not that her insight was wrong, but that someone who knew her very well was using the firefighter as a chess piece to trip her up.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Zhen Cheng for being careless. With her current perspective, even if she was on the spot, she would not be able to understand the cause and effect of the conversation in the Great Cathedral at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
She has never experienced Scarry's conspiracy in the detective game, she has never encountered a series of disasters that are so life-threatening that death has become a habit, and she has never seen Qu Yun's world-destroying power that makes people unable to resist. At this time, she even
It is simply impossible to imagine what is happening in the world that I am familiar with.
On the contrary, Zhen Cheng's trust in the red-haired girl at this time did not come from speculation and judgment, but had more solid logical evidence.
The other party did have countless opportunities to kill her, or even kill her without doing anything, but she finally chose to save her time and time again.
In comparison, the previous firefighter's "hidden secret" was actually just due to Zhen Cheng's constant vigilance, which prevented him from finding a reliable opportunity to take action.
Zhen Cheng is vigilant, cautious, and thoughtful; but she is not panicked, timid, or headstrong, and cannot tolerate the kindness of others. Although so far, this inexplicable kindness still makes people feel that it is unusual and unclear.
"Early experimental subjects. Or... more ancient experimental subjects," Zhen Cheng's expression became slightly solemn as he answered the red-haired lady's question.
She tapped the symbol on the instrument with her finger, hinting at the relationship between this place and reality and explained:
"As a by-product of the [Styx] Project. These experimental subjects that have mutated and gained near-eternal life, in addition to extremely dangerous aggression and never-ending hunger, will continue to mutate as they exist, until
Become a transcendent being.
When I first saw the word 'extraordinary' in the photocopied document, I didn't think about the strength of the strong in reality. After all, immortality itself is extraordinary enough, right?
Previous clues indicated that the experimental subjects in this corridor were divided into two batches, including the 30 second batch of experimental subjects in the E-type room and the 15 first batch of experimental subjects in the D-type room.
I don't know how long it takes for the experimental subjects to transform into 'extraordinary' ones. The information I have obtained does not include that part. The current information also makes it impossible to judge whether the interval between the two batches of 'experimental citizens' in this corridor was one or two days or two.
Three to five years.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that there are thirty ordinary experimental bodies here that you can easily solve, and at most fifteen 'extraordinary' experimental bodies.
Compared with newly mutated individuals, those who have entered the immortal state for a long time will fall into a deeper dormancy. I think this is why there are always various weird noises in the E-type room, but there is deathly silence in the D-type room
s reason.
The room is not without danger, but there are more deadly traps lurking in it. These guys who had enough strength to break through the metal cast door and rush out have lost the motivation to actively break out because they fell into a deeper dormancy.
It wasn't until the firefighters activated the last trap set by the residents in this corridor and unlocked the restrictions of all remaining rooms that the most deadly guys were attracted by the commotion in the corridor.
Judging from the battle just now, unless we get heavy firepower, there is no way we can compete with this mutant.
Just fighting against one of them would put us all at risk. If we were surrounded by fifteen of them all at once, we would really have no chance of escaping.
So now we may be able to search here separately, and maybe we can find more detailed information about the experimental subjects.
Of course, there are also the final clues about meeting the rules of the first type of hidden space and clearing the level to leave this ghost place."
Although he is just an ordinary person, his identity and background allow Zhen Cheng to have some understanding of the world's top powers.
The mysterious and powerful images of the two young ladies in front of her and the unclear position of the enemy and ourselves at the beginning made her make the boldest estimate of their strength just to be on the safe side.
But it turns out that none of them are still far away from the peak of human beings that Zhen Cheng knows. This made Zhen Cheng give up all radical methods of dealing with it.
"Then what to do?" The short-haired woman frowned: "Wait here until your energy is exhausted? Even if you find a way to clear the level, you can't open the door and go out to solve the problem?"
Zhen Cheng didn't pay attention to the other party's doubts and had already started to lower her head to check the drawer of the desk at hand. She responded without raising her head:
"When I talked about the characteristics of the experimental subjects of the [Styx] project before, I mentioned that they would actively attack 'all' life forms.
Normally, this kind of attack would start from the individual with the strongest vitality. For example, if you are not an extraordinary person who has obtained special internal energy, then three human beings like us will also be equal priority attack targets in their eyes.
Although these experimental subjects themselves are infinitely close to immortality, they are also infinitely close to the boundary between life and death. But in the final analysis, they are still vital.
If there are no humans, they will attack and devour rats. If there are no rats, they will go crazy on the vegetation. If there are no vegetation... just like the situation in the corridor outside, they should start killing each other.
Even if you don’t know the information I mentioned, haven’t you ever thought about why, in an apocalyptic environment where the living space is extremely tight and full of dangers, people insist on occupying most of the rooms and imprisoning the experimental subjects separately?”
So the problem with the short-haired women is already obvious. If they stay here to look for information, they naturally have to wait for the mutants outside to kill each other and be exhausted, or until there is only the last one left.
Zhen Cheng has always calculated experimental subjects only by the number of rooms, rather than by the number of beds in each room multiplied by four. This is naturally the reason.
According to the habits displayed by the experimental subjects, it is impossible for more than one being to be left in each room containing the experimental subjects.
All the reasoning conditions were given early on, but the conclusion was not stated until now. Zhen Cheng was half tempted to test the two of them.
It turned out that the two of them were neither insiders with prior knowledge of the experimental project, nor were they overly thoughtful.
The documents in the drawer were still in a disordered text order, but not all of them were incomprehensible to Zhen Cheng, who already had a certain understanding of the project.
The few words in the document stimulated her memory of the information she had casually browsed, causing her to gradually recall more details.
The short-haired woman rubbed her hair in annoyance, as if wondering why she hadn't noticed such an important detail, and at the same time turned around and walked towards the filing cabinet in the corner.
The red-haired girl quietly approached Zhen Cheng and whispered:
"If you encounter something that needs action again, just ask my sister to take action." She looked down at Zhen Cheng from a close distance with her figure that was obviously half a head taller, looking full of oppression:
"Aren't you very smart? Just find a way for us to get out of here. This is an equal exchange."
