under the tower

Ji Xi immediately dropped the mouse, thinking that your base really knows how to play.

He vaguely guessed in his heart that according to different benchmark scores, these students will be assigned to different identities, and the permissions that come with this identity may be helpful to them. For example, Ji Xi became a low-level experimenter Chen Wei, and The attached bodyguard was assigned an insignificant role.

Like now...

Yan Yi was arranged to be an "experimental subject" under Ji Xi's subordinates.

Combined with the date highlighted by the red circle on the wall, Ji Xi seemed to suddenly understand what was going on.

The time went back to December 2092, 12, the day when the Mohe Base was attacked by mutants. All the arrangements here simulated the historical scenes of that year, and the meaning of this is self-evident.

They have to go back to ten years ago, and survived for seven days in the catastrophic situation of the Mohe base.

This is the military test for them.

Seeing Yanyi being imprisoned in a glass tank, Ji Xi was very anxious. He was about to turn off the screen and go out to find someone, when the familiar figure on the black and white image suddenly moved.

Then, Ji Xi watched helplessly as Yan Yi slammed his elbow hard, breaking the whole piece of glass.

Ji Xi: "..."

He felt himself shaken.

No, is this glass made so casually?Just hit it and it's all broken?

In the blurry black-and-white image, Ji Xi saw Yan Yi crawling out of the big gap in the glass tank, and then quickly began to observe the surrounding environment, and skillfully collected all useful materials.

He looked quite calm, then turned his back and used a small knife he found out from nowhere, and cut the hemp rope on his hand three times and five times.

Ji Xi was not in the slightest panic and haste before.

Ji Xi was a little ashamed, he was almost stunned, his eyes were firmly glued to the white figure of the man on the screen, then, seeing Yan Yi, he unscrewed the doorknob of the laboratory, pushed the door and left.

broken.Ji Xi was shocked, and suddenly realized that Yan Yi didn't know he was here!

He was able to find Yan Yi in Laboratory No. 21 according to the clues provided by the office, but Yan Yi didn't necessarily know that he was the experimenter Chen Wei.

If I let him go, where would I go to find him?

Ji Xi anxiously picked up the supplies bag and rushed out of the office.

It turned out that when the base sent them here, they probably had already designed this bridge section, so that Ji Xi would go to the designated place to find his bodyguards after breaking the situation, but who would have thought that his bodyguards would not stay there properly, and did not wait for Ji Xi to come to rescue him. , has successfully escaped by himself!

Ji Xi opened the door, the long corridor was pitch black, a strong smell of musty and dust came over his face, making Ji Xi frown.

He covered his mouth and nose, there were two roads in front of him, left or right, both sides had exactly the same door structure, Ji Xi chose to go right by intuition.

He ran a few steps forward and came to the door of the next room, only to see that the house number hanging on it was -107.

Where the hell is Lab 21?

Ji Xi rushed to the depths of the corridor, his figure melted into the deeper darkness, he watched door after door pass by in front of him, the number of the house number decreased, the last room was -101.At the end of the corridor is a dead end. To his left is a public toilet, and to his right is an upward corridor, but it is completely blocked by a tightly locked iron net. Ji Xi noticed a brass lock hanging under the iron net of the roller shutter , to go upstairs you must find the key.

"..."

The labs aren't all upstairs, are they?

Ji Xi wondered suspiciously, by the time he found the key, Yan Yi might have disappeared long ago.

He really never expected that the first thorny problem he encountered after coming in came from his bodyguard.

Ji Xi stayed there for a while, and was about to return to the original place to explore the way to the other side of the corridor, when a gray-black shadow suddenly appeared in the public toilet on the left.

There is no light in the corridor, and Ji Xi did not find any lighting equipment similar to a flashlight in the office where he started. If he hadn't been able to see a little bit, and subconsciously turned sideways to hide, he might be caught by that thing. with.

The low growl of the monster resounded in the corridor, and once again bared its teeth, it charged in Ji Xi's direction.

It's a freak!

Ji Xi reacted quickly and dodged for a moment, took out the knife decisively, and cut off the entire head of the deformed man neatly.

With a "plop", the head with its long tongue rolled down on the floor, its protruding eyes were still staring fiercely at Ji Xi.

This deserted wreck of the base is no longer a refuge for humans, but a nest of fresh flesh in the eyes of the hungry and deformed people wandering around wantonly.

Ji Xi kicked that head aside expressionlessly, then walked to the other side of the corridor.

The serial number of the door in this direction is increasing, but there is another fork at the corner.

The entire underground structure is not linear, but a criss-cross polygon.

In front of Ji Xi are two identical long corridors.

Ji Xi frowned, almost having a splitting headache.

It's over, he seems to have lost his way.

In the next second, he couldn't bear to think about it, and he chose the road on the left by instinct.

The increasing house numbers extend one by one, with no end in sight.

Ji Xi became more and more irritable, thinking that this is going to find the Year of the Monkey?

At this moment, a small scarlet light suddenly flashed in the dark corridor.

Ji Xi immediately stared at the red dot nervously.

With a "bang", the room with the red light was opened, and a thin figure pushed open the door, bringing out a little light in the room, and the alarm in the corridor was beeping.

Ji Xi was startled, before he could see the man's face clearly, a scream resounded throughout the corridor.

The petite figure jumped up like a frightened bird, and slammed the door shut.

Ji Xi: "...?"

He took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.

The trembling voice of a young woman came from inside the door, she said incoherently: "You... who are you... stay away from me!"

Ji Xi froze for a moment, feeling that the voice sounded familiar.

It was the girl he saw in the cafeteria, Su Chengcheng.

"It's me." Ji Xi used his real name, "I'm Ji Xi, do you remember me? We met in martial arts class."

After a while, the door opened a small gap, and the girl's bewildered face was covered with tears that hadn't been wiped off: "It's... it's you?"

Her trembling eyes flashed a moment of surprise, and then said cautiously: "Well, why are you here?"

Ji Xi sighed softly: "It's a long story, are you okay?"

Su Chengcheng hid behind the door tremblingly, like a frightened bird: "Brother Xiao Ji, can I... believe you?"

Ji Xi said: "I didn't intend to kill anyone." He raised his empty hand with a calm expression, "I won't hurt you, I promise."

Su Chengcheng hesitantly opened the door, and before Ji Xi could speak, she squatted on the ground and cried out, "I was scared to death... I was really, so, so scared... .”

Ji Xi looked at her: "What's wrong with you?"

Su Chengcheng said sobbingly: "I really don't know anything... I stole the manual from my cousin just because I was just curious, so I just signed up for it. I didn't know it would be so scary. things... I just want to go home, let me go home..."

Ji Xi paused, why are you such an ugly girl, what's wrong with you, you have to pick one, it's so unbelievable.

He said, "Can I come in and take a look?"

Su Chengcheng wept with red eyes, and made way for him: "Why don't you look nervous at all?"

When Ji Xi walked in, he saw that the room Su Chengcheng was in had a similar layout to his previous office, but there was no paper pasted on the wall, and there was a huge wooden box in the corner.

"I'm also nervous." Ji Xi said, and then he went to the wooden box and squatted down, and found that it was an electronic lock that hadn't been unlocked yet.

"Have you tried the password?" Ji Xi asked.

Su Chengcheng shook his head: "I didn't move anything, I just wanted to come out to have a look, but it was pitch black outside, and the alarm went off."

Ji Xi glanced at Su Chengcheng's backpack scattered on the ground, the mouth of the bag was wide open, bullets and food fell all over the floor, it could be seen that she was really panicked.

He didn't move those things, but collapsed with one leg and squatted in front of the electronic lock of the wooden box, concentrating on studying how to crack the code.

Su Chengcheng stared at him blankly: "What are you doing?"

"Since they put things here on purpose, they must be opened." Ji Xi instructed her, "Otherwise, where do you want to go?"

Su Chengcheng said with tears: "Can I stay here forever, I still want to see my parents, I really don't want to die..."

Ji Xi calmly narrated the situation: "Do you have enough food? And you have to know that outsiders may come over and deform people at any time. I just killed one on the way."

Su Chengcheng's face was pale, trembling all over, tears streaming down his face.

Ji Xi searched around the room, found another experimenter's ID card, and handed it to her.

I tried the password again with the job number, but it was wrong.

Ji Xi frowned, put his ears on the wooden box, and listened carefully to all the electronic sounds during digital input, and found that there was no difference.

What is the password of this box?

At this moment, Ji Xi took a closer look and found that there were a few very inconspicuous round holes on the surface of the wooden box. If you connected them, you could vaguely see the prototypes of several numbers.

Ji Xi then entered a few numbers according to the arrangement of the round holes, and with a beep, the green light of the electronic lock turned on, and the box opened.

Inside were some brand new flashlights and a map.

Ji Xi picked up the map, but found that the map image was torn from somewhere, and only the plane structure of the underground floor where they were located was drawn on the thin piece of paper.

If this is the case, it can be regarded as a surprise.

The most striking thing is that there is a huge oval-shaped test area in the center of the entire basement floor, which occupies almost one-third of the entire map, and the rest are offices numbered starting with -1. The square-shaped offices are like Radiating around the entire first basement floor, Ji Xi roughly counted that there are about 25 offices of the same type. In addition, there are stairs going up and down in the four corners of the southeast, north, and west.

What's in that giant lab that needs so many people staring at it together?

Ji Xi stuffed a flashlight into Su Chengcheng's arms, and took all the rest.

"Put on your bag." He looked around the room for the last time, making sure that there should be no missing clues, "Let's go."

Su Chengcheng followed suit honestly, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Xiao Ji...I'm afraid."

Ji Xi is not as patient as Yan Yi, he has no time to repeatedly comfort the frightened little girl, so he just patted her on the shoulder, "Follow me."

Su Chengcheng had no choice but to follow behind Ji Xi step by step with his head shrunk like a little quail. They walked through the dark corridor with flashlights on. Ji Xi took a map and approached the central test area.

Su Chengcheng whispered: "That..."

Ji Xi: "What's wrong?"

"...can I hold you?" While speaking, the little girl's cold hands had tightly grabbed Ji Xi's hanging sleeves, and she begged in a crying voice, "...please, I'm really afraid .”

Ji Xi sighed: "Okay. You can pull if you want, but you can't hinder my actions."

"Ji Xi, thank you." Su Chengcheng said with a trembling voice, "If I hadn't met you, I really don't know what I would have done."

Ji Xi stopped talking.

Getting closer to the central area, the inexplicable ominous premonition in Ji Xi's heart became more and more intense.

Perhaps because of the boundless and oppressive darkness all around and the musty smell in the air, Ji Xi's heartbeat became more and more violent.

Just as they walked to a place separated by a wall from the huge laboratory on the map, a low-pitched growl and growl sounded from afar. The sound seemed to be emanating from the entire underground, and it was extremely penetrating.

Ji Xi's footsteps stopped, hesitated for a second, but still planned to move forward firmly.

Su Chengcheng said tremblingly, "Ji Xi, did you hear... any strange sound?"

"I heard." Ji Xi said dumbly, "But I still want to take a look. If you are afraid, stay where you are."

"No, don't!" Su Chengcheng immediately trembled and shouted, "Let's be together, together."

"Ah."

He responded, and was about to move on, but the girl was dragging Ji Xi tightly like a lump of lead.

"That... I don't think it's too good." Su Chengcheng said in a low voice, "Why don't you go?"
