Every day is one step closer to reality

As usual at the Schroeder Pharmaceutical Factory, employees began to leave one after another at the end of the day.

What is different from usual is that the night watchman also packed up and went back today.

They have all been informed that extensive maintenance of some machines and equipment will be carried out tonight. Some machines that are not shut down usually stopped running today.

The weather outside is not very clear and a storm is coming. Looking up into the distance, you can see the black clouds on the horizon.

Therefore, employees who were already very active after get off work cleaned up even faster. After get off work, they have to make various arrangements in life, and then enjoy a wonderful night indoors, sheltered from the wind and rain.

When most of the people in the building left, a large truck carrying goods for maintenance drove into a small open space behind the Schroeder Pharmaceuticals building.

Usually loading and unloading trucks are parked here, and occasionally some small managers park their vehicles here.

It's getting darker.

got windy.

The man wearing maintenance work clothes raised the brim of his hat and opened it to the sky.

The dark clouds that were still on the horizon can already make them feel heavy.

"As soon as possible!"

Several people got out of the truck, and the tool boxes they held in their hands were not serious maintenance tools.

As they walked into the building, two employees happened to come out of the building.

The two men left the office late due to personal reasons.

"The wind is picking up, I heard there might be a thunderstorm tonight!"

"Didn't the weather experts say break this damn thunderstorm?"

"They said it was just a routine adjustment of the weather system. There would be no unusual weather and the impact would not be large. Weather weapons would not be used on such a 'small storm'."

"Oh 'little storm', it will cover the whole city later!"

The two of them walked towards the parking space as they talked, and saw several people wearing maintenance clothes walking over.

He wasn't the maintenance man they were familiar with, but they didn't care much.

When one of the maintenance workers saw the two employees, he moved his hand and was restrained by the person next to him.

The two parties were getting closer and closer. When the two company employees looked over, several maintenance workers smiled at them.

The eyes under the brim of the hat cannot be seen clearly, but the smile on the face should be considered polite?

The two employees smiled politely back, then walked towards the parking space without giving him any more glances.

The two employees didn't feel surprised when they saw the large truck parked outside. In the past, large trucks would be used to transport equipment during maintenance work at regular intervals.

Now all they wanted to do was drive home in their car. The storm was coming, and it had been forecast two days in advance. This storm would arrive in their city in the evening. They originally planned to go home before dark, but something delayed their time and they didn't know if it would rain on the way.

After the two employees left, the maintenance workers entered the building.

There was no one else around. The leader said to the person who just wanted to take action: "The employer said, finish the work first and minimize unnecessary trouble."

"Understood."

At the same time, it is underground that the employees don't know.

There is a well-equipped and large-scale secret research base here.

Schroeder summoned the researchers here and told everyone that the recent situation was not good, and investigators were likely to investigate here soon.

"Everyone is hibernating first. When it is safe, we will proceed to the next stage of work."

Saying apologetically, Schroeder took out some envelopes that he had prepared a long time ago, which contained documents and bank cards used to conceal his identity.

This is the remuneration and bonus agreed upon long ago.

Schroeder smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, the accounts are safe and no one will know."

Because they had already made preparations, the researchers were not too anxious after hearing Schroeder's words. On the contrary, they were all very happy after receiving their identity documents and remuneration.

Some of them came here smuggled in, and some of them had committed crimes and evaded police pursuit, and have been hiding here in Schroeder.

After Schroeder calmed the researchers, he walked to the cubicle and chatted with the director of the laboratory here.

"What about the latest experiment?" Schroeder asked.

"No, it won't work without the stabilizer. Several experimental subjects in the new phase of medication have not persisted." The supervisor shook his head in disappointment.

Schroeder raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder: "Forget it, this stage is over, wait until we avoid the limelight, and then continue. By then, the stabilizer should also be developed."

The supervisor nodded: "Don't relax on the side of the tolerant individual, don't let others beat you to it! Also, don't forget the blood samples you mentioned last time that are of great research value! Obtaining precious research materials requires Greater initiative!”

The other party's tone made Schroeder dissatisfied, but he still answered patiently: "Of course I know! I will never forget these. Of course, I have to take the initiative to provide precious research materials. Can I still expect them to deliver them to my door?!"

The supervisor noticed the other party's unhappiness and no longer wanted to say this. Instead, he talked about another topic with great interest: "I heard that there was a research project decades ago, in which some of the experimental subjects who were artificially intervened were born with The appearance of aging, and then under the influence of drugs, the age reverses during the growth process, I don’t know if it is true.”

Schroeder's expression was very calm: "Yes, I have heard of it too."

Supervisor: "Oh, what a pity. In addition to age reversal, that experimental project also included other genetic trait modification and cloning experiments. However, it is said that it disappeared overnight due to mysterious events, and those precious experimental subjects are gone!"

Schroeder: "..."

Why bring up this topic at this time? It’s disappointing!

Not interested in continuing the conversation, Schroeder looked at the time on his watch, said a few perfunctory words, and raised his feet to leave.

The supervisor wanted to talk more about the experiment with Schroeder and was about to catch up.

Schroeder smiled but said in a deep voice: "Please stop."

When the supervisor saw this, he could only stop.

Schroeder: "Good night, supervisor."

Supervisor: "Uh...good night."

The supervisor always felt that there was something wrong with Schroeder's smile just now, so he raised his foot to catch up.

At this time, a door closed in front of him.

Schroeder kept walking away, operating the controller on his wrist.

Where the supervisor and the researchers here are, chemical gases are spewing out.

Schroeder didn't look back.

One safety door after another closed behind him, also blocking out the deadly gas.

Schroeder's face was indifferent.

Since he couldn't produce experimental results that satisfied him, there was no need for these people to exist.

He could find another researcher, but these people know too much!

He didn't want those crazy dogs from the joint investigation team to dig out information about him from these people.

So, it's better to shut them up.

Not just these people, this entire building will be destroyed later.

When the people from the joint investigation team get here, they won't find anything. I would just think it was a maintenance accident.

At this time, Schroeder received an anonymous message.

Although anonymous, he knew it was from the partner.

This is a reminder message.

It was also a convenience they had made early, and the investors behind him gave him the convenience.

With the increased manpower of the joint investigation team, the investigation speed will become faster and faster, and they are already investigating here.

However, the action team assembled by the investigation team was attracted by a tanker truck full of chemicals in the next city.

This is the time left for Schroeder to evacuate.

Schroeder smiled.

Time is enough.

The "maintenance workers" have already come in and moved out a huge cargo box that Schroeder had prepared in advance.

The cargo box is well sealed, and the "maintenance workers" don't know what's inside, and they don't care that much.

The employer's deposit has been paid, and the balance will be received when this matter is over.

Before Schroeder left, he had to go to his office.

Two private security guards guarded the door of his office to prevent anyone else from breaking in and disturbing him.

One of the guards was a bit of a smoker. He knew he could smoke here, so he lit one. However, he did not relax his vigilance to the surroundings during the smoking process. If any other employees showed up, they would have to be eliminated.

In the office, Schroeder entered the secret room. He wants to operate the main controller here and press the self-destruct countdown. Of course, it also left enough time for our own side to evacuate.

He is not worried about the "maintenance workers" running away first with the goods.

The exit door for transporting goods requires a password. Without him, even if those people can get out of the building by themselves, it will be difficult for them to take the goods out in a short time.

After finishing the finishing work, Schroeder looked at everything here with some nostalgia.

It wasn't that he had deep feelings for this place, he was just sighing that it would take a lot of effort to move to a new place. It costs a lot of time and money.

If he hadn't been forced too hard by the investigation team, he wouldn't have wanted to give up here.

But the investigation team investigated too quickly!

But this time it can be seen that allies and investors will not give up on him yet. When this storm passes, we will still provide support and let him get back on his feet.

Picking up a black suitcase, Schroeder left the secret room, planning in his mind——

Find another place to hide this time. Of course, the research will not stop, but it needs to be more hidden.

Tolerant individuals still have to fight hard.

By the way, there is also the Ancestral Factory, the suspicious bodyguard, and Feng Yi. If you can get a blood sample, get it first. If the time is better, you can catch someone...

Schroeder walked out of the office and was about to speak when he was shocked to find that the two security guards originally guarding the door were nowhere to be seen.

There is half a cigarette on the ground, which has not yet been extinguished.

Schroeder was instantly alert, then quickly retreated into the office and locked the door.

Pick up your cell phone and call one of the security guards.

It rang for a while before the call was answered.

But his personal guard said nothing. No one even said a word.

Some strange sounds.

It wasn't footsteps, it was like the sound of sand and gravel being blown across the ground by the wind, or like heavy objects moving on the ground.

There seemed to be a long breathing sound.

Someone, or something, came closer to the microphone.

Then it stopped abruptly.

The call is disconnected.

See you tomorrow
