third rebirth

The six people sat on the ground casually. Ling Chen winked at Jiang Cancan. Jiang Cancan understood, and said with a smile, "Professor Guo, it's not an ordinary distance from District [-] to District [-]. It's been a hard journey for you, right?"

Guo Xian has a very kind temper. When Jiang Cancan asked him, he also answered with a smile, "It's not hard work, I have food and drink, and I sleep well at night. It's just that Lao Yang in the team is motion sick. When he fainted, he was in the dark. He couldn't eat anything, and was supported by nutritional supplements, but he still lost a lot of weight.

There is another one, Lao Chen, who has heart disease and asthma. When he met the pursuers, he heard a gunshot outside the car, and he gasped in the car. I sat opposite him. Come up, people are gone. "

Jia Lan spoke up, "Professor Guo, when you came here, how about the military area and the command center, how are things going now?"

The smile on Guo Xian's face faded, and he sighed heavily, "Not good, very bad. If there is still a glimmer of hope, we old fellows would not come to join Professor Bai and Professor Ling."

His tone changed from relaxed at the beginning to heavy, as if he had been pressed against a boulder, "Since Professor Bai and the others defected, the higher-ups have tightened the supervision on the Engineering Institute. It's okay for students who help with trivial chores. Those who cannot leave the Engineering Academy, even if they go out for a meeting, will be followed by people to watch them in case they escape.

But those of us old guys, the research we do is quite troublesome, and we are very used to being monitored and controlled.But what made us gradually determined to leave was that there were not many people left at the top. "

Jiang Cancan was massaging her red nose that had fallen, and was frightened. She exerted force on her hands, and tears flowed from the pain. She asked fearfully, "What do you mean... there are not many people left?"

"That's the literal meaning." Guo Xian said bluntly, "The middle-level military officers have been completely replaced, and the high-level officials, except for the holy officials, have been emptied of power in the middle. death due to various reasons, and there are also many people who suddenly resigned and let Xian hand over power."

Jialan gritted her teeth, "How dare the Holy Tribunal!"

"Why don't you dare?" Guo Xianping asked flatly, with obvious fatigue in his voice, "Professor Zheng who came out together was engaged in genetic research. He was once taken out by the people above, and he was sent back after four or five days. .

After the person watching him left, he sat down on the chair in the laboratory, and his eyes turned red.Only then did we know that in the past few days, he was sent to a laboratory with his eyes covered, where he was doing gene fusion experiments.

I don't know what kind of messy researchers they are looking for. They first secretly experimented with civilians, but they failed again and again.When the higher-ups put pressure on them, they simply said that it was because of the poor physical fitness of the experiment, and asked to be promoted from the army, and the higher-ups agreed. "

For a while, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Guo Xian went on to say, "They brought Professor Zheng over to see it, because the experiment was still unsuccessful after changing the experimental subject. If the experimental subject died directly, or died out of control, there was not a single case of success. Professor Zheng met The tragic situation in the laboratory made me so angry that I had high blood pressure on the spot, so I was sent back."

Jiang Cancan slammed his fist on the ground, and the muffled sound seemed to hit everyone's eardrums.

Guo Xian shook his head and said, "So, if you have greed and ambition, why dare you? If they didn't dare, neither I nor you would be here anymore.

Before Professor Bai left, he asked us if we wanted to go together.Several of us old guys have been in the Engineering Academy since we were young, and we have a deep affection for the Engineering Academy.So even if you know that the situation is not good, you still decide to stay, and take another look, with a fluke mentality—maybe it will get better and better? "

Jiang Mu answered, "But the truth is, it's not getting better, it's getting worse, right?"

"That's right." Guo Xian said in a serious tone, "The high-level members of the military region have long been rotten from the inside, and the Holy Tribunal is definitely not a one-and-a-half-year preparation. , Scattered mercenary organizations, all the scum left.

We are getting old, and we don’t know how long we can live. Fortunately, we can still use our brains. If we can help you, we will add one point. "

At this moment, Ye Xiao looked up in one direction, tugged at Ling Chen's sleeve, "Captain, someone is coming."

After a while, footsteps gradually approached, and Wu Ziyan appeared in the sight of several people.

Guo Xian got up and smiled, "Team Wu is here."

Wu Ziyan nodded, "Professor Guo has worked hard." After speaking, he looked at Ling Chen again, "Commander Ling."

Ling Chen's eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge, his jaw line was tense, and his voice almost came out from between his teeth, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Wu Ziyan's right sleeve was hanging down, empty.

Looking down, Wu Ziyan smiled and said, "The right arm is gone." He raised his left hand and shook it, "Fortunately, I had nothing to do before, so I specially trained my left hand, otherwise I can't even hold the gun steadily now."

No one spoke.

The wind blew past several people, carrying the smell of water vapor and vegetation.Seeing that no one answered, Wu Ziyan's pretendingly relaxed smile gradually faded away, and his eyes fell elsewhere, "Don't make it so sad, there is really nothing to say, the arm is gone, at least the life is saved, luck is not bad .”

He spoke easily, but his usual straight back was still trembling.Jialan couldn't bear it, and turned sideways—they all knew what it meant to lose an arm.

Perhaps it was because of excessive blood loss, Wu Ziyan's complexion was not very good, and he lost a lot of weight.He calmed down, spoke again, and his voice returned to normal, "If you trust me, come with me."

Ling Chen didn't say much, "Well, you lead the way."

Wu Ziyan laughed, turned around and walked into the woods, chatting as he walked, "I was talking to the deputy team before, asking if you would come over after receiving the news. He said not necessarily, after all, this situation, no matter how you look at it trap."

Ling Chen and the others listened quietly.

"I said, you will definitely come, because you are Ling Chen. Look, you really came."

Jiang Cancan stared at Wu Ziyan's empty sleeve, feeling oppressed and uncomfortable. He knew very well that as the captain of Youlong, Wu Ziyan was excellent both in individual combat and in command.

After hesitating for two seconds, he asked cautiously, "What exactly did you meet?" What he didn't ask was, where are the other members of You Long?Why let Guo Xian guard under the cliff?

"I met the joint pursuit of the Holy Judgment and the military area." Wu Ziyan did not avoid this topic, "It's just that this chaser is a little different from usual - it's all experimental products that failed in the gene fusion experiment. Comrades, several of them looked familiar to me. One of the arms was turned into a mantis scythe, and my arm was cut off."

Beneath his calm tone, it was as if a churning magma was sealed.

Breathing slowly, Wu Ziyan continued, "Those experimental subjects were released from a car, and some of them died before they reached me. The one who chopped off my arm didn't wait for me to do it, because he was in too much pain, I took my own life. That scene was really miserable."

Jiang Mu walked in the middle, "Is this a new way for high-level management to deal with failed experiments?"

Wu Ziyan sarcastically said: "It should be, I really have an idea."

Ling Chen frowned, "If it was just to capture the scientists from the Academy of Engineering back, they probably wouldn't send out failed experiments, because it's easy to accidentally injure them. Unless, they didn't want to keep you alive."

"That's right." Wu Ziyan stopped and looked at Ling Chen, "I got a secret, and that's why I appointed you to come for reinforcements." He smiled wryly, "I can't trust anyone except you."

Ling Chen's eyelids twitched - what Wu Ziyan meant was that even the people in the temporary base couldn't be trusted.

At this time, a group of people had already walked into the depths of the woods with twists and turns.The camp was concealedly built on the leeward slope, with an anti-detection device standing beside it.Those wearing combat uniforms are those from Youlong, each with serious injuries.The other older ones, dressed in strict attire, should be scientists from the Academy of Engineering, including Guo Xian, a total of nine people.

When Ling Chen and the others arrived, an old man with gray hair was holding a cup to feed water to the wounded, and after that he changed the dressing and re-bandaged the wounded clumsily.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Cancan understood why Wu Ziyan asked Guo Xian to wait under the cliff—because he had no one available under him.

Wu Ziyan greeted them loudly, and took Ling Chen and the others directly to the armored vehicle parked nearby.There are three scratches on the surface of the rear compartment, which seem to be left by a sharp weapon, and the cut surface is neat.

Seeing Ling Chen's gaze fell on it, Wu Ziyan explained, "It was left by a man with short black hair all over his body. I guess he was probably fused with the black bear gene, and his claws are very sharp. In the end, he took his own It may be a relief that the claws killed me."

Jiang Cancan's throat was astringent, he looked at the scratch, and then looked back at Youlong's wounded, his heart was mixed with coolness and anger, his fists were clenched tightly, and his veins were bulging.

Jiang Mu stopped beside him, lowered his head, and opened his fist finger by finger, "Sad?"

Jiang Cancan nodded, his eyes were red, "Human life shouldn't be trampled on like this."

"Yes." Jiang Mu looked up at him, his eyes were usually quiet, "So let's do what we can, maybe we can't save the world, but we have no regrets."

Six people sat next to each other in the rear compartment, Wu Ziyan closed the compartment door himself, and after turning on the lighting, he dragged out a black lockbox from under the chair, "That's why they will definitely not let us go back alive."
