The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 35 Madness in the base (recommendation ticket requested)
On the way to the base, Jiang Yu asked Barlow why he wanted to build the base in this remote, poor landlocked country?

Barlow replied: "First of all, it's hard to spot here, and second, what you Chinese call 'dark under the lights'.

"Building under the eyes of two big countries can best achieve the effect of surprise."

Jiang Yuxin said that it was indeed the thinking mode of the Adventists: "Haven't the two key technologies already started to be applied? Why don't you disband the base as soon as possible?"

These two technologies are all in one base, and even the existence of a scientific research base will be a big goal.

It's no wonder that Ye Wenjie is so caring. This base has all the scientific and technological achievements of the Adventists, and everyone will be envious.

Barlow didn't become suspicious. After all, Kong Xiang was not in charge of the actual technical tasks, and it was normal not to know the inside story.

He said as appropriate: "Because there are many by-products that are still under development."

Jiang Yu then asked: "Like a by-product of 'self-destruction'?"

Barlow didn't expect Jiang Yu to know so much, and he lost another layer of vigilance: "Yes, it is mainly a by-product of biology and brain science. Because they are deeply related to each other, they are very suitable to be put together. Research.

"There are still many precious experimental subjects inside, and it is not suitable for them to leave the base."

Jiang Yu didn't ask further questions, but he was very interested in what Barlow called "precious experimental subjects".

The two vehicles stopped in front of a small thermal power plant. Under the lights, Jiang Yu vaguely saw the coal piles on the open space, as well as the huge chimneys and tall boilers.

The car in front honked its horn for a long time, but the guard did not respond. The man who could speak Mongolian asked Weiss to get out of the car to check.

There was no guard at the door!

Jiang Yu saw that the camera outside the guard was still working, obviously the defense force of the power plant was still there.

Together, we decided to go in and have a look.

The situation was unclear at the moment, and Barlow was worried about leaving Jiang Yu outside alone, so he took Jiang Yu into the base together.

Jiang Yu didn't expect to be able to enter the base so smoothly. It's better for him to go down to explore the way first, lest the Adventist faction resist stubbornly in the base.

The secret door of the base is on the side of the chimney, and the location of the secret door is covered by clever use of 3D projection technology.

If it is not someone who knows the inside story, unless it is an inch-by-inch search, there is no secret door at all.

The main structure of the base is underground, and there is an elevator going up and down through the secret door.

The lights in front of the elevator were also normally on, but there was no one there. It stands to reason that there should be guards inside the secret door.

In apprehension and alertness, several people entered the elevator.

Jiang Yu suddenly said: "I suddenly remembered the plot of the first part of "Resident Evil". The Umbrella Company is also underground, and the zombie virus is also spreading from the underground."

The faces of several young people who had watched "Resident Evil" froze, but Lisa shook her head and smiled: "It is said that as far as I know, there is no virus in the world that can turn people into zombies.

"Even if the virus mutates, it's impossible. At best, it can only make people die faster and more painfully."

While talking, he had already reached the basement floor, the elevators were opened, and the corridor was empty, and the white lights made the corridor look even more empty.

A door on the left side of the corridor was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a hat came out. He was taken aback when he saw Barlow and the others: "Lisa, Barlow! Where have you been these few days?"

Barlow finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Hanforth, old man, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Hanfors avoided Barlow's embrace: "What kind of smell do you have?"

Only then did Barlow explain what had happened in the past few days, and Hanforth also revealed that the people in the base were retreating, and there were not many people left.

Hanforth took them to change clothes and eat first, and the two chatted about the cruelty of the Salvationists, and they couldn't help gnashing their teeth.

Lisa and the others also relaxed, talking and laughing, discussing what to eat for a while.

Only Jiang Yu felt that this Hanfus was a little strange, he didn't even ask about his background!

Barlow and others are typical Westerners. He is the only one of Asian descent and a stranger who has never been to the base. He should question him a few times.

And as soon as Jiang Yu got out of the elevator, he smelled a vague smell of blood.

This smell is exactly the same as the smell after Chu Xu killed yesterday, and Jiang Yu probably will never forget this smell.

Barlow and the others had been "educated" in the sheepfold for a few days, and their noses probably had some malfunctions, so they didn't smell blood.

Barlow at the front was talking to Hanforth, when the elevator at the end of the corridor opened suddenly, and a dozen people came out.

They all wore the same white coats and hats as Hanforth, staring straight at Barlow and the others.

Just as Barlow was about to ask, he suddenly felt his collar being pulled back, and he fell backwards.

Almost at the same time, Hanforth, who was still kind-hearted just now, suddenly stabbed Barlow with a dagger. If it wasn't for that pull, Barlow would have been stabbed by the dagger.

Barlow looked back, and it was Jiang Yu who was pulling him.

Lisa and the others were so startled by this dramatic change that they couldn't react for a while, and stood there at a loss.

Hanforth threw a nearby young man down and shouted: "Kill you traitors!"

With a sudden stab in his hand, the young man lost his breath.

Bang!
Jiang Yu shot Hanfus in the head, and the hand that fired the gun trembled uncontrollably a few times.

Hanfus fell to the ground and twitched. Jiang Yu was startled when he saw this scene.

The sound of a gunshot wound seemed to be a signal to attack, and a dozen people at the end of the corridor rushed over, shouting.

Barlow and the others ran back, but the other direction was already full of people.

They are surrounded!

After all, the old man Barlow was someone who had seen big winds and waves. He quickly reacted, opened a laboratory with his fingerprints, and locked the door from the inside.

The doors of the laboratory are very strong. After being locked from the inside, it is difficult to open from the outside. They have a temporary chance to breathe.

The strenuous exercise just now made several people dizzy and dizzy after being hungry for two days and one night. Barlow asked his two students to use the things in the laboratory to mix some glucose for everyone to drink to replenish energy.

Then he solemnly said to Jiang Yu: "It was right to bring you here, thank you very much for saving me just now!"

Jiang Yu said unhappily: "I have saved you three times before I know how to say thank you!"

Then he asked again: "Tell me, did you secretly research some virus or weapon that drove the researchers in the base crazy?"

At this time, a female voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the laboratory: "Even if you resist stubbornly, you can't turn the situation around. If you surrender now, I won't kill you..."

Barlow's face changed slightly: "This is the voice of the central computer 'Athena' in the base!"

Weiss looked surprised: "Artificial intelligence mutiny?"

Jiang Yu pointed to the door: "How can these people kill us like crazy? Are they robots under the command of artificial intelligence?"
