"General, sample No. 108 in No. [-] warehouse failed." A man in white overalls entered the observation room.

"I see, after the data is compiled, give it to me. What's the specific reaction?" Bowler stood in front of the huge semi-circular glass window, from which he could see the cultivation chamber.

The huge training chamber occupies nearly half of the lowest floor of the research base built on the seabed, and is divided into four parts. The small sample sleeping chambers inside are arranged neatly like a honeycomb, and there is a large embryo culture equipment in the center. Tubes of different lengths deliver liquids of different colors to a dozen or so transparent petri dishes around them.

This is the future of AS, the future of mankind. Bowler firmly believes that this research can change the pattern of the world. Human beings will no longer be subject to disadvantaged environments and scarce resources, and they will become the masters of this planet again.

"No. 108 is not able to tolerate the ultra-low oxygen environment enough, and hypoxia causes blood abnormalities." The people around him replied.

These people were selected and trained from the federal army and were directly under the command of the federal army.Their work is not freely chosen. This is a highly confidential experiment. The research institute does not exist in the eyes of the world, and there are no traces in any files or materials. When the huge seabed research institute disappeared from the lives of their relatives and friends, there was only one reason for the disappearance, death.

Everything here, the building, the staff, everything they do, doesn't exist.

"How about the samples of direct injection and implantation of C3?" Bowler poured himself a glass of light blue water. This kind of water can give a person a lot of energy in a short period of time, and can maintain a person's body at a high capacity. The maximum period of one month is an important support for Bowler to accelerate his work.

"The situation is unstable, and the samples have different levels of tolerance to C3," the man paused, "but there is a sample that is a bit special, and the colonel said to observe it overnight and then report to you."

"Which sample?" Bowler put down the glass.

"The new sample No. 207 sent by the castle a few days ago looks very weak. I didn't have much hope at first, but the effect is a bit unexpected. This sample has safely passed the 48-hour stress period."

"Really?" Bowler was a little excited by this information, and he turned around, "Where's the brain?"

"Short-term memory and motor nerve damage were severe, but his actions were not hindered. This is something that has never happened to our samples before... So Colonel He Qi thinks that we need to observe."

"Do as the Colonel says." Bowler nodded.

Bowler was the only one left in the observation room. He sat on a large chair and stared at the window of the cultivation chamber. Half an hour later, he pressed He Qi's call button: "Colonel, I want to know what you think of sample No. 207." the opinion of."

"207 has no short-term memory and cannot accept instructions. It is not helpful for us to be able to move even when the motor nerve is damaged. His actions are more like the mechanical memory of the muscles for movement," He Qi was silent for a few seconds. , "I think the sample is a failure, General."

"No, no, Colonel," Bowler shook his head. "This can't be said so early. I need you to test the extent of 207's closed motor function in the shortest possible time. He can play a greater role."

"General, this is contrary to our original research philosophy. Sample No. 207..." He Qi took a breath and controlled his tone, "207 is just a living dead."

Bowler frowned, this idea of ​​He Qi is really annoying, even though their goal is a perfectly beautiful human being, this kind of "living dead" who only moves by muscle memory can also have a huge effect, he emphasized With a clear tone: "Colonel, please do as I say."

He Qi responded after a few minutes: "Understood."

Sha Zuo saw Cheng Kan in the pastor's room. Cheng Kan was still the same, nothing changed. When he saw him coming in, he showed a smile: "Long time no see, Sha Zuo."

"Ah," Sha Zuo looked at the pastor and Lilica standing in the room, but didn't say what he wanted to say, but nodded at Cheng Kan, "Has it been a long time?"

"It's been long enough for me," Cheng Kan stood up from the pastor's chair, "If it's convenient for you, I'd like to talk to you alone."

After hearing this, the pastor and Lilica turned around and were about to leave the room, but Cheng Kan waved his hand: "No, I'll go out with Sha Zuo."

"Alright." The pastor stopped and smiled. He was used to Cheng Kan's cautiousness all the time.

Sha Zuo followed behind Cheng Kan silently until he left the residence in Liberty City and walked to the edge of the cliff, Cheng Kan stopped. He turned around and looked at Sha Zuo: "What do you need, I will answer it for you Doubt?"

"There are a lot," Sha Zuo thought for a while, Cheng Kan looked firm and steady in the cold wind, he really couldn't connect him with the "devil incubator" under the seabed, "but it depends on what you want." Tell the truth as much as you want, if you're not going to tell the truth, I don't need to ask."

Cheng Kan showed a smile. The child seemed to have gradually escaped from the chaotic emotions when he first came to the island. He was able to clearly understand his own thoughts and began to trust selectively.

For Sha Zuo, this will allow him to better adapt to the environment on the island, but for Cheng Kan, this is not a good thing, he nodded: "If it must be the truth, I can only answer three questions for you at present, if you If you are willing to ask, you can ask now."

"Okay," Shazuol pulled his collar. Compared with the temperature underwater and in the lava tunnel, the cold air on the edge of the cliff made him a little unbearable. "My exile is not an accident, right?"

"Yes, it is destined, it has been arranged long ago." Cheng Kan answered his first question without hesitation.

Although Sha Zuo already vaguely had an answer in his heart, after Cheng Kan confirmed his guess again, he still felt a little unbearable, especially the sentence that had been arranged long ago made him suddenly feel that his life seemed meaningless.

"Naga took me to see the underwater world. I saw something. Naga said that it was a demon's lair. If I'm not wrong, it's a certain submarine experiment base of AS, right?"

"Yes, perfect Adam." Cheng Kan folded his arms, and this time his answer was still very straightforward.

Sha Zuo was a little taken aback. He had heard of Perfect Adam, but he didn’t know much about it except that it was a human transformation plan that had been terminated more than 100 years ago. He didn’t expect that this plan was still going on. And judging from the ventilation facility on the seabed, the scale is very large.

He didn't speak for a long time. Everything that exists on Wolfsborie Island seems to be no longer as simple as it seems on the surface. Sha Zuo looked up at the dark red sky. This is really a crazy world with no hope. .

"My parents," Sha Zuo looked back from the sky and landed on Cheng Kan's face, "Are my parents in AS my biological parents?"

"No," Cheng Kan's answer this time was not as straightforward as the previous two times, he hesitated and added, "But they love you very much."

"Thank you." Sha Zuo's voice was a little low.

"I thought you would ask about the amulet I gave you." Cheng Kan turned and looked at the deep chasm beneath his feet.

"I wanted to ask, but I have been bitten by Naga. No matter what it is, it will no longer affect me, so I don't intend to ask." Sha Zuo squatted on the edge of the cliff. At this time, Naga should not be nearby. , After sending him back to Liberty City, Naga left in the opposite direction.

"Shazuo," Cheng Kan also squatted down, "I won't hurt you."

"I'll judge for myself," Sha Zuo glanced at him. Naga said that Cheng Kan used to work for that incubator. He intends to easily believe Cheng Kan's words again, "Did you come to me today just to ask me to ask questions?"

"Just chatting," Cheng Kan smiled, "Shazuo, things are not as bad as you imagined."

"I don't think it's so bad," Sha Zuo stood up, and patted the dust on his pants next to Cheng Kan's face, "It doesn't matter what the truth is, whether I can know the real situation, I don't care. can be manipulated by anyone."

"So confident?" Cheng Kan fanned the ashes on his face with his hand, he was at a disadvantage, and Sha Zuo's deliberate slaps made his face covered in ashes.

"Well," Sha Zuo suddenly smiled, "I'm much stronger than I imagined, isn't it?"

Cheng Kan didn't speak, just looked at Sha Zuo's face, this young man's power had not been stimulated yet, but he had already realized his unique side, and obviously he knew what this power meant.

For the Institute, which one is more useful and which one is more difficult, he or Naga?

"I'll tell you a secret, it's a decision I just made," Sha Zuo slowly walked back a few steps, turning his head to look at Cheng Kan, "No matter what method I use, I want to go back to AS."

Sha Zuo slept very deeply that night. This was the most comfortable sleep he had since he went to the island. Although he was very confused about what was going on with him and what was going on with Naga, the research institute was a mystery. , but at least he has picked up a small corner of these hidden facts, at least he will no longer be confused by the things in front of him.

When he woke up in the morning, he saw Jiexiu.Jiexiu stood in front of the window and was seriously fiddling with his few grasses. He turned his head only when he heard the sound of him getting up: "Did you sleep well?"

"Very good," Sha Zuo nodded. Jiexiu probably didn't have a good rest these days, and his face was a little haggard. "I heard from Lilica that you were locked up?"

"Well, it's okay," Jiexiu smiled, "It's only three days."

Sha Zuo changed his clothes and walked to his side, hesitating for a moment: "If possible, can you show me the tunnels in Liberty City?"

Jie Xiu was a little surprised. Sha Zuo, who has always refused to integrate into Liberty City, would suddenly make such a request. He was stunned for a while before answering: "Yes, but there are some facilities that only some veteran members of the combat team can access. I need You keep it [-] percent secret."

"You don't have to let me see those." Sha Zuo smiled, he just didn't want to wander outside the island, whether it's Liberty City or the castle, only by getting in close contact can we learn more about this island and the people on these islands .

"The pastor said you can know," Jiexiu put on his coat, "let's go."

Sha Zuo has always felt that Liberty City is inferior to Castle in terms of strength. He has always wondered how Liberty City survived such a seemingly disparate conflict. He thought it was because Castle did not go all out. Against Liberty City, it seems like it's just constant harassment.

After seeing the intricate tunnels hidden under the Black Rock, he finally understood that Liberty City is not as weak as it appears on the surface.Some of the tunnels seem to be spare, and the furthest point even extends below the beach. The criss-cross tunnels have many exits on the side of the cliff, all of which are hidden behind vines.

"Are there any weapons reserves?" Sha Zuo followed Jiexiu in the tunnels, and he was a little confused. If he was allowed to come in by himself, he probably couldn't find the way out before starving to death. Even if he could find the way, he might die in the tunnel. There are various complicated traps and organs in the tunnel.

"Yes, but not many," Jie Xiu patted the hard cliff beside him and smiled, "If we can use rocks to make weapons, there will be many."

Sha Zuo also smiled, and didn't say anything else. What he saw on the island these days was rocks and some strange plants. The island was so desolate that it seemed impossible for anyone to survive. Rich, it is estimated that AS will not use it and the other two islands as prisons and places of exile.

How many layers of sand tunnels there are finally did not figure out, and Jiexiu does not seem to know all the tunnels.The ground part of Liberty City is very simple, even a bit crude, but the underground transportation system is shocking. This huge difference makes Sha Zuo think of camel thorn. The ground part is only half a meter long, but the huge and complicated root system It can occupy two to three hundred square meters underground.

When Sha Zuo followed Jiexiu around the tunnel, he saw several tunnels extending diagonally downwards. It could be seen that there were many forks. The entrances of the tunnels were guarded by several members of the combat team. The tunnel leading directly to the deep underground made him a little puzzled, so he wanted to go down and have a look.

"Only priests can go in there," Jiexiu stopped him, "only priests."

"Forget it." Sha Zuo didn't move forward, although he was very curious, the secret base in Liberty City?

"This is the only place where there is such a rule." Jiexiu was a little embarrassed to stop Sha Zuo, and explained again, "It has always been like this."

"Always? The pastor is probably in his 30s." Sha Zuo was stunned.

"The pastor is not the only one. Liberty City has had pastors since the day it existed, and the pastor is the leader of Liberty City."

"Oh...that's right." Sha Zuo nodded. It turned out that the pastor was not that person's nickname but a job title. As for why he used such a title, he didn't ask further.Perhaps the title of priest will make people connect with religion, and what this island needs most is faith, no matter what the faith is, darkness or freedom.

For the next few days, Sha Zuo wandered around Liberty City. Apart from learning about the various defense facilities here, he also followed Lilica to see the crops they planted.It is very difficult to grow things on the island. You can tell from the thin grasses of Jiexiu that the things grown in Liberty City are very thin. It is also very low. They planted a lot of taro in a large depression on the edge of Duanxuan far away from Liberty City, but the harvest was not much.

This reminded Sha Zuo of the taro cake from Naga. The things they grow are easy to store for a long time.

"The meat we eat mainly depends on hunting. It is too difficult to raise animals in captivity. There are not enough manpower and no suitable space. If people from the castle come to snatch it, we will lose a lot." Lilica looked at the man who was watering the taro. Man, sighed lightly.

"Hunting?" Shazuo had never seen any other animals except Draco since he went to the island.

"Well, animals don't live in the open land. They are all in the valleys and woodland swamps in the middle of the island. Sometimes it takes more than ten days for hunters to come back." Lilica pointed to the distant mountains. "Last week The hunters should be back in the next few days, and I don’t know how the harvest will be.”

Sha Zuo was about to tell Lilica that he could go to help with the next hunting, when there was a commotion in the direction of Liberty City.

"I'm back!" Lilica turned her head to listen, and suddenly became excited, "I just said that I will be back in a few days! Let's go and have a look!"

Sha Zuo was very interested in what animals he could hunt on this island, so he followed Lilica all the way back to Liberty City.

But as soon as he crossed the square, he was stunned, and Lilica also stopped, and after a few seconds, she rushed like the crowd in front of her like crazy, shouting in a trembling voice: "What happened!"

Sha Zuo walked over quickly and saw bloodstains on the ground among the crowd. The skin on a man's neck was deeply torn, lying covered in blood on the road into Liberty City. He drove out while hunting. The motorcycle fell beside him, and the most important thing was that he was the only one who came back from hunting.

"What's going on? White Fang! What's going on?" Lilica knelt down on the ground. She was a child in the combat team. She was very young and had been studying with Jiexiu. This was his first time hunting.

When Bai Fang fell to the ground, his posture was distorted. Lilica wanted to make him lie down more comfortably, but when she was about to move Bai Fang's body, Sha Zuo held him down.

"Don't touch him yet," Sha Zuo saw that Bai Ya's back was bent at a great angle, which may be because his spine was injured, "Is there a doctor?"

"Someone has gone to call the pastor." Someone in the crowd replied, they were all a little panicked, their people went hunting, even if they ran into someone from the castle, it is impossible for only one person to come back, and they suffered a lot. Such a serious injury.

"It's a strange... person," White Fang gasped suddenly, blood gushed out of his mouth with froth, his voice was very weak, "It's very dangerous, be careful..."

"One? Only one? Who?" Lilica was surprised. There were usually [-] or [-] people in the hunting team, and there were weapons in their hands. How could one person have such a powerful force against [-] or [-] people?

"Where are the others?" Sha Zuo knelt down and asked softly.

White Fang struggled to utter two words: "...dead."
