It is the most unreliable thing to reason with these people who are engaged in research. They are serious and therefore love to get into trouble.

Guan Dehou finally learned the lesson, but he had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense with Zeng Yijie.

After the unpleasant end of the "meeting", Guan Dehou called Zhang Fengyu and others together and said to them: "Whether they agree or not, we must send all our researchers back to the ground within two days, especially the core ones."

Those few."

Everyone nodded, and Nashapova asked: "Then... let's knock them unconscious and take them away?"

Zhang Fengyu and Guo Xingcai were both stunned. They probably didn't expect this fair-skinned and beautiful girl to act so directly.

Guan Dehou shook his head: "That's not necessary. Don't we have sedatives? Just give each of them an injection."

Nashapova understands.

"Xiao Zhang, go and find out the progress of their experiment and determine their rest time for these two days so that they can move easily."

"yes."

"Xingcai, think of a way to get Li Rang to go out alone. I have something to do with him."

"good."

"Nasha, I'll leave the tranquilizer to you. Remember, the dosage must be right."

"receive."

"Well, although we are short of manpower, we are all the most trustworthy. Once the entire operation begins, remember not to disclose the details of the operation to anyone else. If you find any suspicious persons, there is no need to report them. They will be dealt with directly on the spot! You all understand.

Yet?"

"Understood!" Zhang Fengyu and Nashapova responded without hesitation.

Guo Xingcai was still hesitant. Guan Dehou saw this and asked again: "What's wrong with Xingcai? Is there any problem?"

Guo Xingcai clenched his fists and gradually calmed down: "No."

"Well, the key lies in these two days. Let's start taking action."

…

6 a.m. on the 27th.

As soon as Li Rang got up, he was taken to Zhang Fengyu's room by Guo Xingcai.

Li Rang didn't understand why at first, but he immediately sobered up when he saw Guan Dehou.

"Xingcai, please go out first. I'll have a chat with him alone."

"Um."

After Guo Xingcai left, Guan Dehou looked at Li Rang and said, "You are really easy for me to find."

Li Rang immediately stood up and saluted: "Captain, don't be offended, this is what the organization requires."

Guan Dehou nodded: "You have done a good job in keeping secrets. Okay, we don't have much time, so let's talk about your gains."

Li Rang's usual laziness had all gone away, and now the person sitting in front of Guan Dehou gave people a very different feeling.

"I have formed a report on the specific gains in the past few years, but the content is quite large. I wonder what the captain wants to know?"

After hearing this, Guan Dehou thought for a moment and said, "When did You Gege quit the research team?"

"About a year and a half ago, she submitted a formal withdrawal request to the organization. At that time, it was conveyed by Guo Xingcai and Li Shaoan agreed."

"A year and a half ago... tsk... the time card is really accurate..." Guan Dehou muttered to himself.

Li Rang didn't hear clearly, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Then before she quit, was all the 'contact' work done by her?"

Li Rang shook his head: "Not entirely. Sometimes Professor Zeng Yijie and Professor Fu Yihan will have personal contact with the 'Forerunners', but comparatively speaking, their contact time with them is not as long as that of Yu Gege."

Guan Dehou nodded, this was consistent with what he found from the core data of the underground base processing terminal.

"Then... do you know who often goes to the experimental area in the middle of the night and...

Lock yourself up in Laboratory No. 3?"

Li Rang nodded: "I know."

Guan Dehou just asked casually, without much hope, so he asked slightly surprised: "Who?"

Li Rang: "Me."

"you?!"

Li Rang's expression didn't look like he was joking, he replied seriously: "Yes."

"Why?"

Li Rang hesitated a little, but soon his eyes became firm.

"Because I discovered a very terrible secret."

Guan Dehou frowned: "Tell me about it."

Li Rang did not speak. He raised his hand and showed it to Guan Dehou. Then under his doubtful gaze, his fingers suddenly split, and then the five fingers turned into ten.

The scene was quite terrifying and weird.

Guan Dehou was well-informed and had seen many scenes of blood and flesh flying on the battlefield, but he was still shocked by what he saw in front of him.

"you?!!!"

Li Rang smiled bitterly and said: "Captain, there is no need to panic. This is just the initial stage of alienation. In fact, there are many people who are more serious than me... but they haven't noticed it yet."

"What?" Guan Dehou didn't understand.

Li Rang: "They are the forerunners. They... may seem harmless to humans and animals, but in fact... they are like the source of corruption, and have unknowingly changed everyone in the underground base..."

Guan Dehou understood a little bit, but what does this have to do with Li Rang sneaking into the laboratory in the middle of the night?

"When did you discover that there was an abnormality in your body?"

"About two years ago."

"Two years ago? Then why didn't you report it to your superiors?"

Li Rang smiled bitterly and said: "I have thought about it too, but at first it was just some body hyperplasia with symptoms similar to colds. I didn't pay attention to it, but as time went by, I discovered some abnormal situations."

Guan Dehou looked solemn: "For example?"

"For example, Yu Gege, I think she should be the first to discover these situations, but she never said anything and hid it a lot. But once I accidentally saw her hurt her finger while cutting fruit, and the next day

The wounds were all healed. This incredible recovery ability completely exposed her abnormality, so I started to try to retrieve the playback records in the laboratory to find the answer. The result..." Li Rang paused here.

, he took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Guan Dehou.

Guan Dehou took it and did not open it directly.

"What's in here?"

Li Rang: "The body that Yougege took off during his transformation."

Guan Dehou didn't understand, but he opened the box carefully, and then he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Because what he saw in the box was an "eyeball" preserved in a vacuum vessel.

Li Rang continued: "I don't know when she started to communicate in depth with the Forerunners, but I found that she never intended to tell other people these things, and... she did it so blatantly with our help

Her own transformation... this eyeball... was actually just a drop of blood left in the laboratory at first, but I put it into the petri dish, and it quickly revived and returned to what it is now..."

Guan Dehou looked at the "eyeball" in his hand. He was not only surprised, but also felt inexplicable fear.

How much did Yougege hide?

What on earth does she want to do?!

"Did you find anything else?"

Li Rang nodded: "Yes."

"explain."

"I found out that... we are studying

After all, the ‘pioneers’…actually have always existed like farmers.”

"What do you mean?" Guan Dehou did not immediately understand the meaning.

Li Rang smiled bitterly: "I mean...it's not that we are studying them, but they are studying us...and in their eyes...we are like livestock in a stable, inferior and without any threat."

.”

this……

Guan Dehou understood, but then he sneered: "Low class... It's a bit premature to say this. If they are really farmers, what are they studying? What is there in us that deserves their attention?"

Li Rang didn't answer again.

Guan Dehou closed the box and put it away, then patted Li Rang on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back first. If anything goes wrong, please notify me directly." After that, he took out an encrypted communicator and handed it to Li Rang.

But Li Rang didn't answer. He looked at Guan Dehou and asked: "Captain...has the purge begun?"
To be continued...
