third rebirth

Hearing Ling Chen's words, Ye Xiao felt his ears tingling, he quickly kissed Ling Chen's neck, and the tips of his own ears turned red first.

Ling Chen gave a "tsk" and said with a smile, "Are you ashamed?" He bumped his hands twice again, "Has Ye Xiao lost weight? It feels a little lighter."

Ye Xiao shook his head, "I'm not skinny, I eat a lot of meat!"

Ling Chen couldn't bear to put him down, hugged him and took over the conversation, with a smile in his voice, "That's right, every time the chef in the dining room sees you, he will first show his pity that 'thin arms and legs are so skinny' facial expression, and then sigh, while scooping up three big spoonfuls of meat for you."

He really likes to see people treat Ye Xiao well, his little Maomao has had a hard time before, and he always feels that he alone is not good enough for him.

"Yes," Ye Xiao rolled his eyes, "I finish eating every time!"

"So powerful?" Ling Chen raised his eyebrows, put Ye Xiao down anyway, took out a toffee from his pocket and fed it to him, "This is a reward."

Ye Xiao put the sugar in his mouth and smiled at Ling Chen.

The voices of the two of them were very low, covered by the sound of "squeaking" water in the passage.Jiang Cancan was earnestly sweeping around with a military flashlight. Under the beam of light, he could see messy wires, damaged monitoring equipment, and dusty ventilation equipment on the dusty walls.

Jiang Cancan vaguely heard Ling Chen say that Ye Xiao had lost weight, so he couldn't help talking about his own weight, "Master Can, I seem to have lost weight too, the muscles on my arms have become smaller!"

Jialan taunted again, "Are you lazy? Before you left, you ate five big pies in one go. Losing weight or something is just an illusion."

Jiang Cancan recalled carefully, "Really? Why didn't I remember it? No matter, anyway, I'm just losing weight. I'll eat six yuan next time..." After talking to himself for a while, Jiang Cancan sang "By the Pond" very appropriately. There is a little frog hiding under the willow tree..."

The singing sounded in the aisle, and after he sang a few lines, he suddenly stopped, "There is no water ahead! Brothers, we have finally reached the shore of victory!"

At the end of the passage is a platform that is a little above the ground, and the water has not yet flooded it.After several people stepped up, Jiang Mu looked around and confirmed, "This is the first floor of the test site. The main control room and the main engine room are all on this floor."

Jiang Cancan took off his shoes, poured out the water, and looked around, "Speaking of which, why is this test site built underground? When there is no electricity, there is no light at all, and groundwater will seep in."

Ling Chen answered his doubts, "If the harmful gas leaks and cannot be removed, the entire test site can be directly sealed underground."

Jiang Cancan stopped tying his shoelaces, "Brother Chen, when you say that, I have some not-so-good associations."

Jialan kicked him on the calf, "Don't beep!"

Jiang Cancan was afraid of the threat of "cutting the little jiji" that the other party said before, so he covered his mouth suddenly, and subconsciously moved towards Jiang Mu's position.

After confirming the direction of the main engine room, the five of them walked forward.There was not even the slightest sound around, but they still didn't dare to relax their guard.All the way to the main computer room smoothly, pushed open the door, Ling Chen looked carefully with a flashlight, "No one has been here, go, go upstairs."

Walking up the stairs to the third floor, Jiang Cancan sneezed. He rubbed his nose, "Is it my illusion, Mr. Cancan? Why do I always smell a strange smell? It makes my nose itchy." sneezed.

As if contagious, Jialan sneezed twice.

Jiang Mu: "It's not an illusion, it's the smell from the chemical agent. The ventilation equipment can't work, and this place is underground, so the escaping smell can't be discharged."

At this time, they had reached the third floor, and there were closed metal doors on both sides of the corridor with numbered plates hanging on them.The light of the flashlight swept over, Jiang Cancan rubbed his nose and said blankly, "How do we know which one is the literature room and the data center? Are we looking for one by one?"

Jialan spoke suddenly, looking around vigilantly, "You...have you heard anything?"

Jiang Cancan shrank to Jiang Mu's side with a "chuckle" and said cowardly, "Jianlan, don't scare me!"

Ye Xiao closed his eyes and carefully identified it, "It sounds like... the sound of hitting a wall?"

Jialan's eyes lit up, "Yes! It's the sound of hitting the wall!" She looked at Ling Chen and asked, "Brother Chen?"

Ling Chen nodded, "Well, let's go and have a look first."

Go all the way along the corridor, and finally stop in front of a wall.The wall is made of unknown metal, the overall color is silver, there is no gap on the surface, and there are no switches or the like around it.

Jiang Cancan: "There is no way, could it be the voice coming from inside?"

The five people were all quiet, but apart from the breathing of a few people, no other movement was heard.The light in Jialan's eyes dimmed, "Maybe the kid and I got it wrong."

As soon as her words fell, the dull "bang" sound came out again.Ye Xiao tapped the wall with the tip of the scabbard, and confirmed, "The point of the tap is here, there are indeed people inside."

Ling Chen nodded, "Back away first."

When Ye Xiao and the others retreated to the back, Ling Chen held the gun and loaded it, "bang bang bang" several shots fired in succession, with intervals of varying lengths between each several shots.The bullet hit the metal wall, leaving a series of dents.

Jiang Cancan explained to Ye Xiao, "This is a code word, brother Chen is saying, tell them to hide in the farthest corner, they are going to break down the door violently. If General Minus and the others are inside, they will definitely understand."

Sure enough, shortly after the gunfire stopped, there were a few knocks on the wall inside, and Jiang Cancan translated again, "It said that it can start in 20 seconds."

At the same time as Jiang Mu started counting, Ling Chen took the gray heavy gun handed by Jialan, set up the tripod, half-kneeled on the ground, and aimed the gun at the center of the wall.Ye Xiao and the others took a few steps back.

"...Nineteen, twenty!"

The last few seconds had just disappeared, and the armor-piercing blast was ejected with a "boom--".After the smoke cleared, a large hole appeared in the metal wall.

Ling Chen retracted his gun, got up and shouted inside, "Second Ling Chen, what's inside?"

"You kid actually used armor-piercing bullets. You really don't know how expensive Chai Mi is!"

Ling Chen replied with a smile, "I'll write a [-]-word self-criticism when I go back, but you are so energetic, it seems that you are not injured."

After 1 minute, all the people trapped inside came out of the violent opening.Seeing that Ling Chen was still looking inside, Jia Yun said, "Don't look, there are only thirteen of us. We divided into three groups this time, and your dad took eight people away, and my dad didn't come to the test site. Thirty people went elsewhere."

Ling Chen felt something was wrong, "Uncle Jia, when did you get trapped inside?"

Jiayun recalled, "It should be NO.30, we got here," he pointed to the direction of the cave entrance, "The metal door suddenly came down, thanks to our enough things, we have all the nutrient and oxygen generators, otherwise there would be no They were either suffocated or starved to death inside."

Ling Chen: "On the night of NO.30, my dad contacted the temporary base, but the signal was cut off after a few sentences, and he couldn't get in touch again after that."

Jiayun is 50 years old, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Jialan, but his lines are much rougher, his brows are more frowned, and the marks between his brows are deep. He said in a deep voice, "After we came in from the ground passage, I will be in charge of the third Looking for the literature room and data center upstairs, Lao Ling said that he would go to the computer room on the first floor and make an appointment to meet in the corridor on the second floor."

Unexpectedly, one was trapped in a secret room and the other's whereabouts were unknown.

Ye Xiao was listening to them intently, when Noah's electronic voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Ye Xiao, hello."

Dazed for a second, Ye Xiao responded, "Hi, do you have a mission?"

Noah's speech was always concise, "Yes. There is only one task for the time being, and within an hour, kill Li Su."

One hour?Ye Xiao asked, "Where is Li Su?"

"On the negative floor, stay with Ling Dingnan."

"Ok."

While Jia Yun was talking to Jia Lan, Ye Xiao pulled Ling Chen's sleeve.When Ling Chen looked over, he leaned closer to the other party's ear, "Your father is on the lower floor."

Ling Chen's eyes darkened, he looked at Ye Xiao fixedly, and five seconds later he ordered, "Jialan and Cancan take them back to the ground, and Xiaomu follows me to find Professor Ling."

Jia Yun wanted to say something, but he knew that Ling Chen had big ideas, so he would never act recklessly.He thought for a second, then agreed, "Then let's go up first, and you all should be careful. If you really can't get the information, you don't want it. Compared with it, your lives are more important."

He paused for two seconds, "I don't know if I'm thinking too much, I think this test site may not be as simple as we thought. How did the metal door come down when the power equipment was missing? How could we all be trapped inside at such a coincidental time?"

What he meant was that he suspected that someone had deliberately trapped them in the secret room.

Ling Chen nodded, "I understand."

Five minutes later, the backs of Jialan and his party disappeared, and the sound of wading through the water kept moving away and gradually became inaudible.

Ling Chen looked at Ye Xiao, "Little Maomao, are you sure Lao Ling is on the negative floor?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "Sure."

Ling Chen: "The negative floor is not shown on the map. If there is one, we need to find a way down first."

Ye Xiao gave a "hmm", he could sense Ling Chen's doubts, but he couldn't explain how he knew, so he just kept his head down and didn't speak.

The three searched patiently on the first floor, but found no sign of the stairs.Walking to the end of the corridor, Ling Chen suddenly said, "Do you want to try?"

Jiang Mu understood what he meant, "Do you suspect that this is the same as the situation on the third floor, there is space behind the wall?"

Ling Chen looked at the wall, "Yes."

Jiang Mu pulled out a bomb that was not as big as a palm, "Then try it."

After retreating to a safe distance, Jiang Mu pressed the start button, and with a bang, a big hole was blasted into the corner of the wall.

It was empty, they guessed right.

After confirming that there was no danger, the three of them bowed in and found that it was not a closed space, but, as they had guessed, there was an elevator and stairs leading to the negative floor.

The power system was damaged, and the three chose to go down the stairs.Ling Chen naturally held Ye Xiao's hand, "Be careful not to fall when you go downstairs."

"Yeah." Ye Xiao followed Ling Chen for two steps, hesitated for a while, and then whispered, "Captain, I have to kill a man named Li Su later, he should be with your father."

Ling Chen stopped where he was, and asked him softly after a while, "Is there a time limit?"

Ye Xiao answered honestly, "In one hour, 29 minutes have just passed, and there are 31 minutes left."

"Is it a mission?"

"Ah."

In the darkness, Ling Chen held Ye Xiao's hand tightly.He remembered that when he first met Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao told him that he had a mission to do, but because it was more important to protect him, Ye Xiao didn't leave until he was about to leave Area D to do his own mission.

Later at his home, he asked Ye Xiao if the task was completed, Ye Xiao replied no, there were three months left in the time limit.But along the way, Ye Xiao hardly separated from him.

No, they were separated for three days, and Ye Xiao killed Xia Yunfeng during that time—could this be that mission?

But now, Ye Xiao, without any contact with the test site map or the list of personnel for the mission, suddenly confirmed that there was a negative floor in the test site. people.

At this moment, doubts surged in Ling Chen's heart again - who is it that issued the mission to Ye Xiao?
