But what he didn't expect was that Vincent was indeed a mature old fox. He planned everything before he could do anything. Even though he had a trump card like inhibitory potion and nearly invincible gravity control ability, he still had all his escape routes before he took action.
arranged.
Being manipulated by such an old fox, Lin Cheng would have been chopped alive according to his past character. However, after experiencing the two-year journey of the apocalypse, Lin Cheng was no longer the stupid young man who would kill him at the slightest disagreement.
Okay, actually if you think about it from his perspective, if he were Vincent, he would definitely do the same thing. This is the principle that people will be punished if they don't do it for themselves.
Lin Cheng smiled and did not dwell too much on the matter. After confirming that the two women were still alive, Lin Cheng took out a notebook with a pen and threw it to him and said, "Then mark their locations."
Hearing this, Vincent didn't say anything. He took the notebook and drew a route on the map. He had already understood that as long as he cooperated enough, his life would most likely be saved.
After spending a few minutes carefully marking the map where the two women were imprisoned, Vincent returned the notebook to Lin Cheng and said at the same time: "If you want to find them, you must find them as soon as possible. The supplies I left for them are only enough for three days."
Yes, it has been almost two days now. If you die due to lack of food in the end, you will be responsible for this."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Cheng waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about responsibility for me. If they die, you will die too. Do you understand?"
"……Understood."
After Lin Cheng's extremely domineering reply, Vincent's old face turned red, but in the end he could only nod his head, not daring to refute at all.
"Okay, since the two of them are okay for the time being, we can talk about business..."
After quarreling with Vincent, Lin Cheng threw him a cigarette, lit one himself and said: "First of all, should you explain to me what you want to do after you have been lurking in the research institute in Novi town for so long?
do what?"
Hearing this, Vincent sighed and replied: "It's a task left to me by the teacher..."
"Teacher? Mission?"
Hearing Vincent's answer, Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown, "What mission? And who is this teacher you are talking about?"
Vincent thought about it completely now. Hearing this, he replied directly: "The task the teacher gave me is to stay in the research institute and always pay attention to people and things related to the apocalyptic sinkhole. Once someone wants to go to the apocalyptic sinkhole,
, I must find a way to sneak in and obtain information, and if necessary, I can take action, just like I used Miss Bai Ling to enter the dungeon while you were unconscious. As for the identity of the teacher..."
At this point, Vincent paused again, hesitated for a moment and said: "My teacher and I once worked at a private biological research institute in London, Eagle Country, and my teacher Christopher Morse served as
The deputy director of the institute, and I was the teacher’s assistant. During my time at the institute, Mr. Christopher helped me greatly in all aspects of my life and study, so even when he was the director, I also
I always call him teacher..."
"Private biological research institute? What exactly does it do?"
Seeing that this guy finally got to the point, Lin Cheng leaned forward slightly and asked him in a serious tone.
Throwing away the burnt cigarette butt, Vincent replied: "The research institute we work for is very large, and the research topics and directions are very complex and diverse. Most of the time, my teacher and I are responsible for researching the immunity of various organisms.
system……"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked: "Since the direction of your research is the biological immune system, how do you deal with the ancient ethnic group of the Spirit Tribe?"
"This is because...this is because..."
When Lin Cheng finally asked about this matter, Vincent's expression became extremely tangled. Reason told him that if he wanted to survive, he must not hide anything, but the teacher's kindness and repeated explanations when they parted made him really unbearable.
He went against his mentor's instructions, so that for a moment he froze on the spot and did not answer Lin Cheng's questions as smoothly as before.
Seeing that he suddenly became silent, Lin Cheng couldn't help frowning and asked again: "What, mute?"
"No...no."
Hearing Lin Cheng's unkind tone, Vincent quickly shook his head and said, "As you said, under normal circumstances we wouldn't be able to have anything to do with the Spirit Clan even if we stayed in the institute for a lifetime, but..."
At this point, Vincent paused, but then quickly continued: "I don't know the specifics, because if you really want to trace it back, this was already in the late 1980s... According to Chris
Teacher Dove’s recollection is that in the summer of 1988, he had just entered the institute and took over the position of leader of the biological immunity group. He had not been in office for a month when he received a call from an Eros colleague in the same group.
That colleague was sent to a heavy industrial city in Eros called Kalk City to conduct a research project on how to suppress rat infestations. However, when he arrived in Kalk City, he discovered that the source of the rat infestation was actually located in a mine underground in the city.
Internally, he was weak and unable to solve such a huge problem, so he called the teacher for help and wanted Teacher Christopher to bring more manpower to solve the rat problem as soon as possible, because the institute at that time was in financial trouble.
crisis, and if we can solve the rat problem and reopen the mine, our research institute will receive an extremely generous reward! After receiving the call from this colleague, Mr. Christopher immediately convened a research team
Members of the institute's biological immunology team went to Kalk City to help the colleague start the campaign to suppress the rat infestation..."
"etc"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng's heart suddenly moved, and he quickly interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "What did you say? You said that your teacher Christopher had been to Kalk City as early as the late 1980s?"
"That's right."
Vincent nodded. Vincent was not surprised at all that Lin Cheng knew about Kalk City. Not to mention the previous chat, Lin Cheng had said that their group came here all the way from China. It was normal for them to pass by Kalk City on the way.
, just because Lin Cheng and his team found the apocalyptic sinkhole and entered this underground city by their own strength, Vincent would not believe it if they did not find anything in Kalk City.
"In the late 1980s... a private biological institute... a rat problem... the city of Kalk... an underground mine."
Lin Cheng didn't care what Vincent was thinking. All his thoughts were now focused on these clues. Although Vincent only said a few words just now, there were a lot of clues exposed!
