The business of Leeds Beauty Salon has not been very good recently. There are more employees than customers. Moreover, it is located in one of the most prosperous business districts, and the rent is very expensive. The proprietress looked at the bleak shop with a frown.
Suddenly, the door dinged, and a mechanical voice played cheerfully, "Welcome."
The landlady's eyes lit up, and several shop assistants rushed towards her like vampires smelling blood. Before they could introduce the project, they heard the young girl say, "Hello, was this a hot pot restaurant before?"
The proprietress wilted, "No, we have been opening a beauty salon here since the commercial street was built, which has been nearly twenty years."
"Is there a hotpot restaurant nearby? The one with Oriental Nine Palaces."
The landlady shook her head, "There aren't many hot food restaurants around here. There's a Southeast Asian green papaya salad shop in front, and there's an East Asian barbecue shop on the corner."
Tang Rou snorted and said politely, "Thank you, I'm sorry to bother you."
It turned out that I was looking for a hotpot restaurant, not a customer.
The landlady sat down at the checkout counter and turned on her computer.
A message popped up on the screen, and her eyes lit up again. Unexpectedly, someone responded to the sublet information posted online.
"Can the plumbing be retrofitted? Are there any internal compartments?"
The proprietress trimmed her hair and typed quickly on the keyboard, "It can be renovated." Then she asked one more question, "What do you plan to use this store for?"
The tenant quickly replied, "I'm going to open a hot pot restaurant."
On the other side, Tang Rou walked out of the beauty salon.
She slowly recalled in her heart that the place where she drank with the long-haired mysterious man in her dream was in this neighborhood. Judging from the layout of the stores on the left and right and the street layout, the hot pot restaurant was located right behind the beauty salon.
So from this point of view, does it mean that there is still a long way to go before the "future" mentioned by the long-haired man?
Does that also prove that it will take a long time for your own "clone" to appear?
Tang Rou was worried and walked towards the hover car, unaware that her plastic sisters were instilling strange thoughts into her experimental subjects.
"You also know that Rou is just a sharp-tongued person and will be soft-hearted towards you."
Acting like a caring sister, Atherland pulled the cushion to cover the leather seat that was torn by horny thorns, and then said, "Look, this way she won't notice."
The young man's attention was on the first half of the sentence, "Rou, know how, soft-hearted?"
Aslan thought to herself, no, in addition to her sharp mouth, she also has a heart of stainless steel.
Atherlan said, "Yes, she will only be soft-hearted towards you. She told me this in private. Every time she sees you hurt, she feels very sad." The last sentence is actually the truth.
Tang Rou was indeed protective of her shortcomings, but she was too soft-hearted and developed feelings for the experimental subjects that she shouldn't have. As a result, "human" traits gradually appeared in them and they became more vivid.
"Then why does she always never come to see me?"
The dangerous humanoid murder weapon actually showed a trace of grievance.
Aslan said firmly, "She is shy and embarrassed to meet you. Human women tend to be shy when they see someone they like. If you don't believe me, go search...ask others."
Is Rou shy?
It dawned on me on the 17th.
Aslan breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s so easy to coax this silly kid.
At the moment, she didn't know that she would use the same rhetoric to deceive all of Tang Rou's experimental subjects, even the jellyfish that had no desires or desires.
Atherland often stood up for his sisters, and he did it a lot. He was also very good at standing up for himself.
When Tang Rou got in the car, she felt that the way No. 17 looked at her was not right.
As soon as she sat down, a cold tentacle was placed on her wrist, and she turned to look at those beautiful dark green eyes.
The young man said slowly, "Rou, don't be shy, I also like..."
Aslan, who was in the front row, suddenly started coughing, coughing, coughing, as if he had been ill with the flu virus for a long time.
Tang Rou, "?"
What is he saying.
The young man stopped talking, lowered his head and leaned on her shoulder, curled his tentacles happily, and nestled next to her feet.
Not long after Tang Rou left the base, someone sneaked into her laboratory.
The temporary office had been sealed off by armed forces. They carefully searched for traces on the floor and found that the SS-17 experimental subject did not seem to be in Area S. During the floor search, another experimental subject was discovered.
Semi-humanoid electric eel.
They had been searching for nearly ten days and finally found him, crawling on the steel-framed ceiling of Area S.
And below him is the former office of the Tang breeder who was presumed dead.
A large number of heavily armed security officers, armed with weapons, surrounded the area where the electric eels were found.
At the same time, someone is connecting some seemingly unrelated clues together.
Xue Zhijia held several documents. The top one was the latest autopsy results sent by the medical center before the accident.
The identities of the twenty-three corpses in the synaesthesia laboratory were determined. They extracted DNA samples from the bone marrow that had not been carbonized and destroyed, and found that one of the corpses, which was believed to have had its throat cut before being electrocuted, was not at all.
It belongs to that synesthesia experiment.
After retrieving the identity, it was discovered that the person was Deputy Director Zhang Ning Zhang from Area A, and his occupation category was breeder.
How could a breeder from Zone A appear in an S-class synaesthesia laboratory?
Xue Zhijia looked confused and asked someone to retrieve Zhang Ning's identity information.
After opening it, I discovered a small, inconspicuous detail.
Zhang Ning has an experimental subject, which comes from the breeder Tang Rou. It is said that it is the healing A-11 sea rabbit experimental subject that was assigned to Zhang Ning after the other party upgraded it.
It is a beautiful, zero-offensive experimental subject with a perfect human appearance.
Xue Zhijia pinched the bridge of his nose and turned his attention back to the real-time communication screen of the Security Department. It showed that the location where they found the electric eel experimental body was on the ceiling of Tang Rou's office that had just been repaired.
interesting.
Could this be a coincidence?
He didn't believe it.
From a probability perspective, there are no frequent coincidences in this world.
Xue Zhijia knocked on the table and asked the technical department to connect to the office's internal monitoring.
Soon, the video was connected, and on the screen, they saw a young man sinking to the bottom of the water tank, curled up and sleeping.
He was even wearing clothes, and his thin spine protruded from under the white cloth, like a graceful piece of bamboo.
He seemed to be in a sweet dream, his soft hair rippling with the water, and the picture was pleasing to the eye.
It's really...unbelievable.
Xue Zhijia stared straight at the screen, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Zhang Ning died. He died in the synesthesia laboratory. The electric eel experimental body in the synesthesia laboratory was hidden on the ceiling of the keeper Tang Rou's office. Under the ceiling, there was an electric eel lying under the jurisdiction of Zhang Ning.
Rabbit test subject.
He suddenly laughed and pressed his forehead, his eyes filled with strange and crazy colors.
Human beings are different from animals. In addition to knowing tools, mastering "fire", and possessing the ability to speak and think, human beings live in groups and use collective wisdom to surround and suppress prey.
The emergence of Homo sapiens has slowly driven all species toward extinction. Of the original 24 species of marsupial mammals in ancient Australia, 23 species became extinct after the arrival of Homo sapiens.
The way of survival through group cooperation has allowed humans to slaughter more than 95% of giant creatures. Those creatures that seemed to be ferocious and tall, and whose combat power far exceeded that of weak humans, became extinct one after another.
Earth's ecosystem is being reshuffled.
No creature can escape the encirclement of intelligent races.
But what happens when, even more terrifyingly, a cooperative model emerges from advanced intelligent creatures whose body functions and alien energy far exceed those of humans?
How can cold-blooded creatures cooperate?
Xue Zhijia's eyes were filled with madness, and he pointed at the screen, "I want him."
