Delusion Master

Chapter 28 The Hope at the Bottom of the Box

The journey to the main laboratory was not too long, and Wei Lin and Bai Yuan encountered two monsters one after another.One of them was brutally hacked to death by Bai Yuan with a fire axe, and the other was a woman in a lab coat, who planted half of her body on the ceiling, and her long hair hanging down was woven into a black silk net, blocking the entire aisle.As they tried to break through the open net, she started screaming hysterically—but that was all.She has been glued to the plane by the body fluid she secreted, and the meaning of her next life is to continue to undergo amitosis, constrict and split countless herself, and finally exhaust the terminal chromosomes and die.

Wei Lin was not afraid of fighting monsters, but was terrified by a female monster who couldn't fight, and wanted to cover his ears and run away as soon as possible.

"It's terrible!" he said. "The last time I heard this kind of barking, it was a dog in the corridor of the community that jumped at a female resident, and she barked so much that the lampshade almost shattered—God knows she was scared." What, that dog is only a little bit bigger than a teacup, standing up less than her 'heels high' heels!"

Bai Yuan couldn't take it anymore, he quickened his pace, but he still didn't forget to tease: "I thought you would take this opportunity to comfort that woman, I heard that your nickname in the workplace is 'Women's Friend'?"

Wei Lin ran wildly all the way, and finally kept the screaming away to a bearable level, panting: "I think women are cute, but let's forget about those who are too neurotic."

Bai Yuan squinted at him: "...you are not only gay, but also like women. Bisexual?"

"I told you earlier that I'm not gay!" Wei Lin wanted to go crazy, "What have you been misunderstanding since Wu Jinghan? I'm straight, straighter than a laser!"

"Oh, I don't care about that." Bai Yuan said indifferently.

I don't care about you asking a fart!Even if I eat both men and women, how can I have anything to do with a frigid narcissist like you?Wei Lin was slanderous, and didn't dare to say it out loud - the ax in the opponent's hand was still dripping with the blood of a monster. Considering that there was still a little difference in combat power between him and the opponent, it was better to complain silently. .

A few minutes later, they arrived at the alloy door with the round glass window in the video.

Wei Lin stepped forward and pressed the doorbell button, and said to the intercom system: "Wei Lin, Bai Yuan, Professor Cheng, we are here."

The thick and airtight alloy door did not move, and the people inside seemed to be hesitating or had given up.Wei Lin thought for a while, and added: "You will regret that you didn't see us before you died."

After a few seconds, the door lock automatically pops open.Wei Lin signaled Bai Yuan to put the fire ax outside, pushed the door one after the other and walked in.

At a glance, they saw Professor Cheng Lixin who was holding on to the console and barely standing.The other person's appearance was no different from what he looked in the video, but his expression was even more haggard.Seeing Wei Lin and Bai Yuan, his eyes seemed to be ignited with the desire to explore some strange phenomena and unknown areas, and they lit up like a flash of light.

"You...didn't notice any mutations in yourselves? Not even a slight...not at all?" He asked in disbelief.

Wei Lin took off his backpack and coat and put them on the table, walked up to him, and spread his arms: "You can check it however you want, I don't mind."

Cheng Lixin pushed his glasses excitedly: "I need to collect a little of your blood, as well as his."

"Please feel free."

The two cleaned their hands under the faucet, and asked Cheng Lixin to take some fingertip blood and put them into the instrument for testing.

Wei Lin saw that the old expert was busy in the genetic testing room, so he was not idle. He filled a glass of purified water in a glass beaker in the laboratory, and took out a lunch box wrapped in tinfoil from his backpack—the lunch distributed on the plane.

He put his nose up and sniffed it, then handed it to Bai Yuan: "Your curry chicken."

Bai Yuan felt that his unexpected behavior was really a bit...noisy, so he didn't answer.

Wei Lin glared at him instead: "I worked so hard to carry it all the way from the plane, and you don't appreciate it? Eat it or not, I can eat two boxes by myself. When the big troops come to the door, you run away hungry Lu, don't drag me down."

Bai Yuan frowned, took it reluctantly, and said in disgust, "It's so cold."

Wei Lin almost laughed: "Master Bai! Duke Bai! In this kind of underground research institute full of monsters, it would be nice to have an airplane meal, okay? You still have to pick and choose?" He snatched the curry chicken rice , turned around and found a laboratory heating plate that looked like an electronic scale in the corner, put the lunch box on the glass ceramic surface, and turned on the heating.

The maximum temperature of the electric heating plate can reach more than 500 degrees Celsius, and the heating speed is extremely fast. After a while, the aroma of curry wafts out of the tinfoil.Wei Lin carefully picked up the lunch box, threw it in front of Bai Yuan with a pop, and said, "Master Bai, your lunch is ready, please enjoy it slowly."

Bai Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied: "Understood, go get me a package of pickles, not spicy."

Wei Lin's teeth were itchy, but seeing that he had worked so hard to kill monsters and repeatedly rushed ahead of him, he went to his backpack and found a paper box with the airline's logo printed on it, and packed it into a vacuum packet with an airplane meal. Take out the pickles, together with the after-dinner fruit - a banana with black spots in the backpack, and put it in front of Bai Yuan: "Pickles, and 60% of your compatriots, eat them!"

Bai Yuan pulled a tall round stool over to sit on, and he really enjoyed eating spoonful by spoonful.

Wei Lin, who felt that his momentum was at a disadvantage, took out another box of braised pork rib rice and heated it up, and started to eat it.

"Water." Master Bai ordered again.

Wei Lin almost smashed the beaker at his hand, but finally held back, filled another cup of purified water, and pressed it in front of him very rudely, with a smile on his face: "After eating, do you still have to wait for the shower, massage, and sauna?" ?”

"That's not necessary." Bai Yuan said indifferently, "I don't like to have too much physical contact with others."

Frigidity...early ejaculation!Impotence!Wei Lin appraised viciously in his stomach.

Cheng Lixin came out of the testing room at this moment and saw the two people chewing on the table. After being shocked, he became furious: "This is a laboratory! Do you know how high the requirements are for the number of bacterial colonies and air quality? How can you eat and drink here? !"

Wei Lin turned his head and held the spoon in his mouth: "Professor Cheng, don't you plan to go to another world, don't you care about this mundane matter?"

Cheng Lixin was so choked by him that he almost didn't continue.

Wei Lin took out the last lunch box from his backpack, put it on the electric heating plate, and said very kindly: "Professor Cheng, I think you have not eaten or slept for two or three days. You must know that people are iron, Meal is steel, if you don’t eat a meal, you will be hungry, you should eat a hot meal. Even if the ancient condemned prisoners went to the execution ground, they would have to eat the meal before going on the road, wouldn’t they?”

"You, you..." Cheng Lixin pointed at him, trembling with anger, "I won't eat!"

Wei Lin brought the heated plane meal to him, and said seriously: "Eat it, I really can't miss your business."

Under the opened tinfoil, pork ribs wrapped in sauce, yellow-green winter melon slices are paired with plump white rice, and a pinch of orange and finely chopped pickled radish is sprinkled on the side.The dense aroma stimulates the appetite of the hungry. Food molecules enter from the nasal cavity, touch the olfactory nerve and then transmit to the brain, so the brain sends a strong request to the body to eat——Professor Cheng struggled with biological instinct very hard.

Wei Lin stuffed the plastic spoon into his hand, like a trigger signal to break the deadlock, Cheng Lixin held the lunch box and started to gobble it up.

Bai Yuan raised his head and exchanged glances with Wei Lin: It's good if you are willing to eat!Appetite is closely related to the desire to survive. The former has needs and is satisfied, and the latter will naturally increase accordingly.

There were faint sounds and vibrations outside the laboratory. Wei Lin walked to the door, opened a slit to listen carefully, and turned his head and said, "It seems to be blowing up the door leading to the core area from the outside? The official troops have arrived."

Cheng Lixin raised his head from the lunch box, glanced at the door resignedly, and continued to paw at the rice.

"The door is quite thick, and it will take a few minutes to break open violently. In addition, the noise is so loud, and the monsters wandering outside will hear it. The difficulty of the game they challenge is much higher than ours before." Wei Wei Lin shook his head sympathetically, locked the door and walked back, packed up the empty lunch box, and threw it into the waste recycling bin, "Professor Cheng, what do you think, do you want to go with the official army?"

Cheng Lixin swallowed his last mouthful of food, washed his hands and mouth in an orderly manner by the sink, wiped his face with a tissue, and then said: "I violated the laws of the country, violated human morality, and caused a devastating disaster. I should be punished most severely." Even if it is the death penalty, I will willingly accept it."

Everything is my fault!Even if the leaves outside the window were blown off by the wind, it was because I pushed the window too hard and the airflow generated—this is the way of thinking of patients with self-guilt paranoia, extremely pessimistic, gloomy and stubborn.Wei Lin had no choice but to follow his wishes: "Everyone has to be responsible for what they did wrong, that's right, but Bai Yuan and I won't go with you, we don't want to deal with the authorities."

Cheng Lixin said in embarrassment: "But the final conclusion has not yet come out, it is only a preliminary test - the ancient virus genes in the two of you are indeed not activated by the elicitor, but the detailed data and the reasons for this situation , I still need more time to study."

"Is there such a possibility—" Bai Yuan, who had always been reticent, suddenly said, "It's not just the two of us, there are still some people in this world whose virus genes in their bodies will not be activated, or if they are activated, they will not be activated." What impact will it have, will it not be like those monsters whose thinking degenerates to a ferocious animal nature, and will even produce beneficial evolution?"

As if waking up the dreamer with one word, Cheng Lixin suddenly turned his head to look at him: "You two, aren't you a special case?! Yes, there is a possibility! The genetic structure is extremely stable, the autoimmunity is extremely high, and the rejection is extremely strong. It is even possible to assimilate these viral genes—it is very likely that there are such a group of people, and compared to the huge global population base, their number should be quite a lot!"

His tone was hurried and excited, he went straight to Bai Yuan, and took a closer look: "As for the evolution you mentioned, it should refer to a genetic mutation—for example, your left eye. It looks like heterochromia iris syndrome, but this rare green color does not seem to be caused by a disease... Your hearing is normal, right? (Bai Yuan nods) The distance between the eyes is also normal, so it is not Ward's syndrome caused by chromosomal aberrations; is it a mixed race? (Shakes head ) That's not genetic either...did it come out around this time?"

Bai Yuan hesitated for a moment.His left eye was a strange emerald green color from birth, but answering truthfully would not help in completing the task.If it is caused by a virus gene inducer, it will make Cheng Lixin more agree with his previous guess that some people will not degenerate into irrational monsters due to infection, and even produce genetic mutations, entering a new, catastrophic world. Fu unknown evolutionary field.

So he nodded resolutely and said, "Yes, the color suddenly changed a while ago."

A liar...but a good one!Bai Xiansen immediately saw the essence of the problem.Wei Lin couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: Even if we can't cure Cheng Lixin's illness all at once, and we can't make his delusional end-time disaster movie "dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky", as long as we give enough hope, let He felt that there was still a bright future ahead, which could alleviate his illness to a great extent, let him develop a sense of survival, and wake up from the coma of reality.

Cheng Lixin took a deep breath, and for the first time showed some surprise and relief on his sad face: "If your guess can be confirmed, this may be the only hope for mankind to escape the catastrophe and get out of the desperate situation—"

There was a burst of shouting and gunfire outside the door, the sound was much clearer than before, and the large group of people seemed to have broken through many obstacles and approached the laboratory.

Wei Lin and Bai Yuan didn't want to attack the government army under Cheng Lixin's nose, killing all directions, so as not to stimulate his abnormal mental state, but they also didn't want to be captured together with him and fall into a passive state.

So I had to run away.

Fortunately, this trip was fruitful—Cheng Lixin became interested in the two of them and Bai Yuan's conjectures, and also developed some confidence in the vitality of human beings in the future.As the master of this "absolute domain", his mentality is bound to be projected to the entire doomsday world.

That is to say, the situation outside is no longer as bad as it was at the beginning, and the worst situation of all being reduced to monsters and the complete extinction of human beings has been improved.Because of the intervention and influence of Wei Lin and Bai Yuan, there will be a group of normal humans that are not infected by the virus gene, and even humans that have undergone benign mutations and evolution.

The "Creator" of this world, from the deepest part of Pandora's Box, vaguely saw the light of "hope" in myths and legends——
