The air in this village house is very dry. Although the light in the house is very dim, Chen Zhi can still clearly see that the interior of this house is like a combat base. Most of the places are wrapped and inlaid with iron sheets and steel plates.
, including the floor; Tukang; walls and other places.
The surfaces of these metals are very weird, with spiral-shaped patterns engraved on them. Based on Chen Zhi's understanding of physics, these patterns should have been specially processed and designed to enhance certain sound waves.
The power of it is just like the principle of a loudspeaker wall.
The masked man entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed. His veiled face looked quite strange in the dark. Chen Zhi saw that the man was wearing loose clothes that could hide his body shape, making it difficult to see clearly.
He is fat and thin, but his back is obviously a bit stooped. He should be in his fifties. He has no trace of skin exposed. He wears thick leather gloves on his hands and sits there motionless, watching.
By Chen Zhi.
"Sit down!" The masked man pointed to the chair opposite and asked Chen Zhi to sit down.
Chen Zhi didn't say much, walked over quickly and sat opposite the man.
"You're here to see me, right? If you have any questions, just ask!" The man's voice was very hoarse, but his tone was very direct. After he saw Chen Zhi sitting down, he touched a mechanism on the earthen bed.
, with a creak~~, the door closed automatically.
The room instantly darkened, leaving only a small shaky oil lamp on the roof, and the light inside was extremely dim.
"I want to know what happened to that underground research institute back then? If you were Engineer He Zhonghua himself, then how did you escape on your own when all the engineers back then were dead?" Chen Zhi looked at the masked man squarely.
The man asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Yes! I was indeed one of the engineers in the Underground Research Institute at the time. Our task was to forge a legendary and rare metal - control stone." The masked man also faced Chen Zhi directly and answered hoarsely.
Our work at that time was very difficult. We were underground all year round without seeing the sun. It was almost like being in prison. However, the person in charge of our project was very strict with us...",
The man put his hands together, sat opposite Chen Zhi and answered in a low voice. He spoke very slowly, as if all the time in the world belonged to him, and he was very calm, with no fear at all.
"We have been secretly researching in the basement for a long time. We have exhausted almost all methods and spent a lot of gold and precious metals, but we still have no clue. Everyone is desperate, especially the leader of our project team. He is getting better and better every day.
I feel more anxious every day.
At that time, everyone's emotions were extremely unstable. Our project was specially approved by the top leadership of the Ministry of Scientific Research and did not go through normal procedures. In other words, this was a secret project that was not recognized by the country. Only the top leaders of the Ministry of Scientific Research
Once the leader's private authorization fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
And that year, we were suddenly notified that our secret project had been suspended, and we didn't know any relevant information. From then on, the door was closed and the news was interrupted, trapping us inside.
But our project team leader, the director of Youth Forge, suddenly disappeared.
"Is your team leader's surname Chen?" Chen Zhi asked softly.
"Yes!", the masked man sitting opposite replied,
"His name is Chen Yiyang. He is a genius engineer with an IQ of 187. He is the leader of our entire project team. He is responsible for single-line contact with the top leaders of the National Ministry of Scientific Research, and all our engineers must strictly follow his arrangements. During that period
At that time, we implemented a military-style management internally. No one could easily leave the basement. Only a small number of people could go to the factory outside to do work, and they could only make a phone call home every very long time.
But Team Leader Chen Yiyang can return to the ground to live every day. I heard that he has a family in Z City, a wife, and a child...
"What happened next? How did you disconnect from the national department?" Chen Zhi then asked.
"These confidential internal information are not something that we ordinary engineers can inquire about," the masked man whispered, "but I know that at that time, Chen Yiyang's father suddenly died of illness in Beijing, and he hurriedly returned to Beijing. Then, we
The project was cancelled, and I estimate that this was directly related to the death of his father."
"Isn't there any explanation for such a big project being canceled so hastily? How does the top leader of the national project department explain this?" Chen Zhi still asked.
"Didn't I just say that? Team leader Chen Yiyang went back to Beijing to attend the funeral. His father passed away, and the top leader of the National Scientific Research Department has passed away..." the masked man said.
"What? What did you say? Do you mean..." Chen Zhi's eyes widened and he looked at the other party in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"You mean..., my grandfather is the head of the national scientific research department? He is the top leader who mysteriously disappeared?"
"Yes! You are Chen Yiyang's son, and Minister Chen, the top leader of the National Scientific Research Department, is your grandfather..." The masked man sat there and said. He was not nervous when he said these words, and placed his hands steadily on
on one's own knees.
"After your grandfather, Minister Chen, passed away, the rock control project was immediately canceled and your father disappeared. From that time on, all our engineers fell into hell...
We were locked in the basement and the electricity was cut off. We were struggling in darkness and panic. At this time, the door to the basement suddenly opened. We all ran to the door excitedly, but what came in from behind the door was not us.
What Team Leader Chen was expecting turned out to be a group of bloody monsters.
There was no skin on the bodies of those monsters, as if they had just been skinned. They were covered in blood red, crawling on the ground with their limbs, crawling down from the entrance one by one, and rushing toward us...
All the engineers were so frightened that they collapsed, everyone screamed loudly, and the underground research institute suddenly turned into a sea of blood. I watched the monsters disembowel my colleagues one by one, devouring their internal organs and tearing their skins.
, and then take off the entire piece of their skin.
And I was also attacked by those monsters, and most of the skin on my face and body was peeled off..."
"Then how did you escape in the end?" Chen Zhi then asked the masked man.
"I can't remember clearly. I only remember that I was thinking about my mother, wife and children, and I desperately climbed out of the exit regardless of the pain on my face.
I don't know how long I ran, and when I got into the woods, I passed out from the pain. When I woke up, my face was ruined, but I also escaped with my life.
Later I found out that all the people in that factory had been replaced and the project had been hidden. I ran home quietly alone and secluded myself in a mountain village, and I was able to survive until now..."
"Really?" Chen Zhi looked coldly at the masked man opposite, "I have one last question to ask you... Who are you?"
"Haha!" The masked man laughed after hearing Chen Zhi's question, "Didn't I say it? It's He Zhonghua, haven't you been looking for me?"
"He Zhonghua? If this person really existed, he would have been killed by you, father?"
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he quickly jumped over and pulled open the man's veil, only to see his father's face appearing in front of him.
