Doomsday Wood Ruler

They stopped in front of a futuristic gate.

The silver-gray color, the cold metal texture, and the unidentifiable and sharp-looking verification device in the upper right corner remind people of the Star Wars in the movie, and Shen Mu's heart suddenly surges with faint excitement——Which boy at this age is not right? How about a starry sky full of fantasy?

Zhou Lin knocked on the door.

... What about the agreed-upon password fingerprint-pupil comparison?

Shen Mu thought in surprise: The way to open this high-tech door shouldn't be so simple, right?

What made this high-level setting fall into the cloud was the development, and an old man's voice came from the place where there was probably a microphone on the door: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Zhou Lin."

It seemed that the scene outside could be seen from inside. After a while, the door opened.

Shen Mu: "..."

Even if there is an additional communication device, it is impossible to deny that what happened just now is different from the ordinary three steps of knocking, answering, and opening the door. There is nothing strange about flowers and plants.

He guessed right.

What came into view was an old man with a white beard. He looked like the type who would often go to the park to do Tai Chi in the early morning. , Zhou Lin introduced that this is Professor Cai, the core figure of the research institute.

Also guessed wrong.

Inside the door is a spacious space, and as far as the eye can see, there are rows of vertical coffins—or call it nutrition warehouses, cultivation warehouses, or fresh-keeping warehouses?

They are neatly arranged and look clean on the outside, much neater than the messy shelves Shen Mu saw in the small supermarket at the gas station, but they can't make people feel happy.

If this is also a shelf, the goods inside are a bit scary.

Like in a sci-fi horror movie, there are humanoid creatures everywhere, and all kinds of strange combinations are presented in front of you, and the variety of tricks is dizzying.

No, harder to swallow than a movie.

Anyway, the movie was made for the general public. It can be exaggerated, but it will try to avoid causing discomfort to the audience. To describe the scene in the laboratory with unkind words is—disgusting.

It's literally a crime scene.

The former Jack the Ripper and many other cruel criminals who have left their names in history are just jokes in front of this.

Hughes sighed in his mind: 【Human beings...】

After a faint sigh, there was no more to say.

Shen Mu suddenly wanted to know Hughes' feelings, and asked: 【What about human beings? 】

The connection is made.

Hughes' tone seemed to be mixed with indescribable melancholy, and he said in a tone of memories: 【It's a creature that even gods would look up to. 】

Can't hear good or bad praise, Shen Mu is still waiting to ask, but Hughes has already cut off the connection.

Really.

I am also human.

Shen Mu thought about it, and said hello, "Grandpa Cai."

He looked very polite, and he could vaguely distinguish the shyness and curiosity of strangers for the first time in his expression. Coupled with his exquisite appearance, he looked extremely well-behaved, which was exactly the one that elderly people liked.

Professor Cai laughed immediately, and asked like an ordinary grandpa: "My little friend, what's your name?"

kid.

This title is really long gone.

However, Professor Cai should be over 50 this year, and he is highly respected, so there is nothing wrong with shouting like this.

"My name is Shen Mu."

"It's been a long time since I saw a young man like you," Professor Cai said with a smile, "Xiao Shen, you and Xiao Zhou shouldn't be together, right? Why are you here?"

Zhou Lin was in shock.

In all fairness, he brought Shen Mu here as a joke. The things in the laboratory are disgusting even for a person like him who has been in prison for a long time. I almost couldn't eat, if the students who lived in the ivory tower saw it, I don't know what kind of gaffe they would have?

Then got slapped in the face.

Shen Mu was very calm, beyond his imagination.

Since he had put a lot of effort into micro-expressions, and he was not facing any professionally trained people, Zhou Lin could almost see every slight change in Shen Mu's mood, and was shocked for no reason.

Shen Mu was only slightly surprised at the beginning, and then understood, with a common indifference in his expression, and then naturally greeted Professor Cai, and now he looked very interested, I went to see the experimental product with Professor Cai.

Is this really what a student should look like?

Zhou Lin couldn't help thinking of many reasons, trying to make Shen Mu's behavior seem reasonable, for example, Shen Mu is a medical student and often dissects corpses; or he is a detective and can often see crime scenes; or he is a horror movie lover... …

Well, he himself felt nonsense.

A female voice sounded: "Where did you abduct the child? It's very cute."

This is Professor Cai's assistant.

Different from her slightly weak appearance, this woman is very shrewd and capable, and in a sense is quite cold-blooded. Zhou Lin once watched her directly put the person who was still alive on the operating table, even under anesthesia. If you don't do it, you start the operation, which is called thrift.

Even if everyone can foresee that after the end of the world, there will be difficulties in the research institute that cannot be supplemented by medicine, such behavior is still shocking.During the operation, neither the female assistant nor Professor Cai, who was watching from the side, showed any guilt or intolerance. There seemed to be a big word written on their faces: dedicated to science.

Very ironic.

I don't know how the dedicated person felt, whether he cursed these two people to die badly.

Zhou Lin shook his head secretly, and looked gentle again to the female assistant: "Professor Cai seems to be talking about something, let's go and listen."

Cai Zhishu and Shen Mu were stopping in front of an experimental product.

This is an obvious mixture of plant and human, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a plant. The plant is a huge five-petaled flower with a very common appearance. The blood dried up for a long time.

Ugly and disgusting.

Fortunately, with the foreshadowing of similar scenes in the dream, Shen Mu could barely accept it.

Professor Cai stroked his beard: "This is my latest research result."

Having experienced the mix and match of octopus people and other hot eyes, this kind of thing is already regarded as pediatrics, Shen Mu pondered and thought calmly: The latest research results - recent?

"Photosynthesis?" he asked.

If one could really possess this ability, it would greatly increase the chances of surviving in the last days of food shortage.

"Xiao Shen, you are very savvy." Professor Cai looked at him admiringly with a happy expression, and extended an invitation: "How about it, are you interested in helping me?"

The female assistant walking towards here laughed and said, "Professor, do you dislike my clumsiness?"

"Where is it?" Professor Cai laughed: "This is my assistant, Liu Wei. She is almost thirty and still not married. There is really nothing I can do about her."

"I've seen someone as outstanding as the professor, but I don't like those men." The female assistant looked at Shen Mu with a sincere expression, and she looked at Shen Mu with affection in her eyes: "Do you want to stay?"

After this interruption, Shen Mu's acting skills finally managed to catch up, and he showed the excited and surprised look that he should have shown immediately after Professor Cai's invitation, opened his eyes wide, flattered and said: "Can I really do it? I am Say, I am a freshman this year, and my major is business administration..."

"You are such a young child, you can learn everything quickly when you are serious," the female assistant interrupted him with a smile: "Besides, this is Professor Cai's 'One Word Hall'."

It seems that there is no reason to refuse.

If Qin Ge's mission is successful and Professor Cai is successfully connected to the city G base, he will definitely be welcomed and valued, and the treatment will be first-class. As his assistant, Shen Mu will get a lot of benefits, at least eating will not be a problem It doesn't matter if Qin Ge's mission fails, at least Professor Cai can provide him with shelter during the research institute.

Thinking of this, Shen Mu nodded shyly, and with a little worry, he glanced timidly at Zhou Lin with a movement that everyone could see clearly.

This can be called the explosion of his acting skills.

Even though it is basically unwatchable compared to professional actors, but after all, he managed to hide it from the two researchers. Professor Cai said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, do you have any objections?"

"What can I say?" Zhou Lin was upset, but he knew clearly that he and Shen Mu had no friendship: "This little guy just came yesterday, and he's not mine."

If he was alone, Zhou Lin would definitely take revenge for Shen Mu's behavior of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, but as the leader of a group of people, he had to consider a lot, so he smiled at this time: "Don't worry, Xiao Mu, your I will make arrangements for younger brother and eldest brother."

Both a favor and a threat.

Shen Mu looked at Professor Cai for help, and the old man immediately frowned and said, "The family members of the researcher should be counted as our side."

Zhou Lin seemed to have deep meaning: "Don't forget, it was agreed at the beginning."

Perhaps there was something inconvenient to listen to, the female assistant took Shen Mu's hand: "Come on, I'll show you around and see the working environment in the future."

Shen Mu obediently agreed.

The female assistant walked a long way and entered another small room. Just as she saw the scene inside, Shen Mu paused: "This is... a human body specimen?"

"That's right, you don't think my hobbies are weird, do you?" As she said this, she obviously didn't think Shen Mu would care. She led him briskly around the periphery, walked in, and stood in front of a pair of specimens of a man and a woman. Ding: "Look, this is my new work, I named it 'Love'."

Shen Mu's pupils constricted instantly.
