Shenbai Technology Biological Headquarters

Clive Sandford and Theodosia Comfort stand in the silver elevator.

Clive pulled out a badge from his chest and swiped it on the sensor, and a fake face of artificial AI emerged on the spherical projection.

"Dr. Clive Sandford, Nurse Theodosia Comfort, identified."

After the mechanical and flat voice, its tone became lively.

"Good evening, your destination is—Floor 140, Intensive Care Unit, top secret, security level AAA."

It showed a smiling face to the expressionless two humans, but no one paid attention to it.

The elevator made a very slight "hum" sound, and then began to go up.

The current time is displayed on the LCD projection, which is three forty in the morning.

This is the last rotation of the late-night medical shift.

The entire Shenbai Technology Biological Headquarters building is as quiet as a tomb, and the cold artificial light source of the elevator and the sensor lights that automatically turn on when people pass by, seem to be some kind of soul in this cold and huge building.

Clive and Theodosia's faces were slightly blue in fiasco. When the elevator door slid open to both sides, the two of them couldn't help but glanced at each other, and then walked into the corridor.

The medical trolley in Theodosia's hand was slightly deviated from the straight line because of her nervousness, and the needle jumped in the iron plate.

"Calm down!"

Even though the voice could not be more subtle, Clive jumped up like a frightened hamster. Then he lowered his voice and said to his nurse with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Hold, sorry, doctor."

Tears welled up in Theodosia's eyes, and she apologized in English with a thick Spanish accent, with a hint of sobs in her voice.

She was still a young nurse, with dark skin and long curly dark hair—Clive once loved her beautiful appearance and empty brain, but now looking at her, his heart was full of anger and anger. disgust.

Oh damn.

Cursing inwardly, he began to wonder if he had really done the right thing in picking this brainless nurse.

But apart from a stupid and blind person like Docia, he couldn't find a better object of encouragement.

Clive stretched out his thick and short fingers to press his nose, this is a movement that only occurs when he is extremely nervous...Of course, he is so immersed in his own thoughts that he doesn't even notice it .

Then they went through several checkpoints, which were passed by a pass card that was invalidated that day. There were no bodyguards, no human staff, and some only cold machines.Clive has no doubt that if there is any progress in the medical robot that Shenbai is developing recently, the higher-ups might not even allow people like him and Theodosia to approach that room...

That top-secret intensive care unit at the end of the corridor.

Of course, considering the residents in that ward, Clive found this not difficult to understand.

Before the last door opened, Clive stopped, and he wiped the sweat from his palms on the white doctor's robe without any trace.

"Listen, Docia." He squirmed his lips and said very quietly to the woman beside him, his extramarital partner, "This is a great opportunity, you can't mess it up, you know?"

He thought that the woman should have nodded, but he didn't look at it. In fact, he was the one who said that to himself.

He pressed the badge against the sensor.

The cold metal door, about [-] centimeters thicker than the bank vault, slid open in front of the two of them without a sound.

Unusually icy air rushed out like an arctic cold wave.

The pale body of Vincent Sievers lay in a strange transparent medical case.

The actual height was two floors, and the huge ward set off him and the pile of medical equipment that surrounded him even seemed a little small.

But in fact it is not the case.

Dr. Clive gave Theodosia a look, and the two of them slowly approached him.

Only when you really walk into the current Vincent Sievers, can you feel the kind of fear that you can only feel when facing inhumans... Even as a doctor, Clive is not the first time seeing Vincent Sievers. With Sievers' appearance, he still felt a little fear and horror towards this man.

The medical bay he was in was more like a long, slender, sloping tube.

The total length exceeds three meters.

In the upper part, Vincent Sievers' human body was lying on a dry cushion, but in the lower part of the medical cabin, a pale yellow unknown liquid soaked his body, which seemed to be naughtily elongated by the hand of God. legs.

Measured from the heels of his legs, his current legs are nearly two meters long, and the joints that normal humans should have have degenerated to a degree that is difficult to see with the naked eye. His legs are covered with thumb-sized blue scales, and his legs are firmly Close together, a translucent film covers his legs.And the soles of his feet also began to deform, the toes began to become longer, bifurcated, and obvious flippers began to appear between the toes.

The monitor made regular beeping sounds beside his sleeping face. There were seven bags of injections of different specifications hanging above his medical cabin, which were directly injected into various parts of his body through several fixed injection tubes. .

"Oh, God……"

Theodosia couldn't help praying when she saw Vincent.

"He looks more serious than last time."

she says.

"To shut up."

Clive said coldly.

He walked over and began to record various data of Vincent Sievers: his body temperature was twice as low as that of normal people, his heartbeat was about two beats per minute...

Clive couldn't help but glanced at Vincent's face while recording these.

Oh, is this man named Vincent Sievers really human?

Indelible doubts arose in Dr. Clive's mind.

When he entered the last data, he found that Theodosia, who was supposed to start changing the injection, was still standing far away.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

he cried sternly.

Docia's body trembled.

"I, I'm scared, doctor, several people have been injured by him, when they were close to him - they said that he would go crazy for no reason when he woke up..."

"He's just delirious." Clive felt his heart sink, "And this time they put him in a protective cover that's stronger than bulletproof glass. Come here, this is the last time, think about what's next for us Life."

He said.

Theodosia walked over tremblingly pushing the cart. She tried to replace Vincent with a new infusion bag—but was stopped by Clive.

"Wait, get that thing out," he said.

His stupid little nurse was on the verge of crying, but she finally did what he said and got "that thing" out of her body.

It was disguised as a tampon to sneak into this high-security intensive care unit.

Peel off the outer layers of camouflage, and what emerges is something that should only appear in a spy movie.

A mini high precision camera, some special liquid samplers.

Clive first took pictures of the shells of those infusion bags with a camera. Of course, there were only some special abbreviated characters that were difficult to understand.In order to block the news that Vincent Sievers had suffered serious sequelae due to human experimental products, the upper echelon spent a lot of effort to isolate everyone from the news.As a senior doctor, Clive can only know some physiological data of Vincent. As for what happened to him and what happened to those inexplicable infusions, he has no idea at all.

And he can be sure that the experimenters who prepared these special infusion liquids in this building will never know who their real users are.

Thinking of this, he frowned, then took out those special samplers and put them on the infusion bag.

"doctor!"

Theodosia covered her mouth and screamed.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Shut up, those people won't be satisfied just seeing some inexplicable photos of infusion bags of different colors, what they need is more specific information."

Clive said with a livid face.

That's right, "they".

What Deep White's official spokesperson announced was that Vincent Sievers had an unfortunate accident while skiing in Switzerland.The public is sympathizing with this mysterious but powerful head of the Deep White, but as time goes by, more and more people are eager to change his position.Meanwhile, White's rivals are eager to learn what happened to Vincent Sievers.

Clive didn't know who the person who hired him was, but what he was sure of was that once Vincent's physical condition was truly exposed to the public, Shenbai would suffer serious losses—and he was even more sure Yes, that person offered him such a generous offer that he couldn't refuse it at all.

What's more, those people also said that they could provide him with a false identity.

He can easily live the luxurious life he dreamed of, and the price is just to take a few photos and take some samples of Vincent's treatment medicine.

That's it.

Clive took a deep breath and forced himself to think about those wonderful futures.

He finished sampling all the infusion kits in no time, and there was a slight delay—that idiot Theodosia was about to cry next to him.

"The rules say that the infusion kit must be changed on time...and there are doses..."

"How many times do you want me to say it? Shut up." Clive said rudely. He pushed the woman away and angrily pressed the infusion bag into the slot by himself. He also looked at his watch. "It's only a minute late, don't be so nervous, okay? You're giving me a headache."

He checked the time again... There was only a short while before the badge expired, so he had to hurry up.

So he quickly put all the equipment back in the camouflage and forced Theodosia to shove it back, and the latter, although she was just an empty-headed nurse, was still angry at the rudeness in Clive's mouth.

A small, deliberately muffled argument broke out between the two of them.

So much so that the two of them didn't notice the movement behind them at all.

"Crack-knock-"

That's when the glass breaks under heavy pressure.

A pale hand trembled in the medical cabin, and then yanked the injection tubes protruding into his body.

The bloody needle was pulled out directly.

And under the long silver hair, the four bright red eyes turned, aiming at the humanoid creature emitting heat outside the medical warehouse...
