What should I do after interpenetrating with an old enemy?

This is not the core area yet.

This thought suddenly flashed in Jing Xi's mind.

In the empire, the research on mutated beasts is legal. As long as it passes the approval of relevant departments, those who meet the conditions can apply for special research funds.

There are a large number of beast specimens placed here, and even living bodies are imprisoned underground. Even if people who don't know the inside story come here, they will only think it is a legitimate beast research institution at first glance.

This thought terrified Jing Xi.

How many illegal institutions pretending to be like this in the empire?

What are they trying to do?

Chi Yao glanced at it and walked out without saying a word.

During the time of fighting with Jingxi, he gradually immersed himself in the fantasy that he is also a normal person.

But the eyes of this second-level hound tore up all the illusions.

It's in the cage, he's out.

But there is no difference in their essence.

Jing Xi immediately sensed that Chi Yao was not in the right mood, and followed in a few steps.

"Yao Yao——"

Chi Yao's silence and the image that flashed before his eyes just now made him want to comfort him uncontrollably.

I wanted to hold the other party's hand, but this time the other party avoided it.

"Get ready." Chi Yao stood in front of the door of the second room and whispered.

Seeing that his expression was normal, Jing Xi blocked everything he wanted to say.

It's not really a good place to talk either.

Jing Xi quickly calmed down and nodded to him.

The second room was opened, and there were still no attack devices.

Like the first room, there was a second-level mutated grassland elephant locked up here. Part of its body was also cut off, and it lay dying on the ground.

Seeing them come in, I just glanced at them calmly, as if I had already resigned to my fate.

Chi Yao walked around the cage and walked out.

"Next room."

Jing Xi glanced at him, followed him without saying anything.

I looked at five rooms on the left and right.

The room on the left is full of larger beasts, and the right is full of small beasts. A cage should contain at least seven or eight animals.

I saw a group of first-level mutant macaques huddled in a corner, looking over with teary eyes. At first glance, they looked like a group of human children.

Jing Xi's eyes flickered, and the forehead felt a dull pain.

The fur on these monkeys was removed by some unknown method, and none of the skin was intact. All ten monkeys were missing arms and legs, and some of them lost their entire jaws, and the flesh was just hanging down.

Jing Xi believes that since he joined the army, he has dealt with mutant beasts the most. He is not used to war and death, but he never thought of torturing mutant beasts like this.

Chi Yao walked around the cage to make sure there was nothing wrong, and when he was about to leave, he saw Jing Xi's face pale.

"What's the matter?" After saying it, he felt that he was asking too much.

Jing Xi shook her head and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

Chi Yao didn't intend to answer, but he didn't hear Jing Xi speak for a long time after walking out, so he couldn't help but look at it from the corner of his eye.

Seeing his disappointed face, he couldn't help but explain: "See if there are any signs of humanization."

"Humanization?" Jing Xi frowned slightly.

Chi Yao: "The specimens we found are basically the animalization of humans, but I'm not sure if they are also studying the humanization of beasts at the same time."

Jing Xi thought for a moment: "But even if the beast has a human form, it will be difficult to be like a real person, right?"

On the contrary, it is easier for a human to become a beast.

"I don't know." Chi Yao looked at the front of the deep and dark corridor, expressionless: "Whether a man turns into a beast or a beast turns into a man, they are existences against the heavens and should not survive."

Walking to the door of Room No. 11, Chi Yao was about to ask Xiao Hong to unlock the door, when Jing Xi, who had been silent for a long time, spoke suddenly.

Jing Xi: "If it doesn't hinder anyone or hurt anyone, I think no matter what form it is, it should have the right to live if it exists."

Chi Yao paused and turned to look into his eyes.

He is serious.

"Maybe many things will never be revealed to the public, but who has no secrets?"

Jing Xi looked at him, "Some people look sanctimonious on the outside, but they are actually more terrifying than beasts on the inside. They should be the ones who have to think about survival."

Chi Yao didn't know how many times he was comforted by Jing Xi's words.

Although the facts have not changed in any way, I feel much more comfortable in my heart.

He couldn't help chuckling: "Worse than a beast? I have evidence to prove that you satirized me as not a human being."

The stiff and heavy atmosphere was broken by this laugh.

Seeing the smile in his eyes, Jing Xi suddenly felt distressed.

"I still need to prove this specifically?" Jing Xi also smiled and patted his shoulder lightly, "It's not a day or two since you haven't been a human being."

Chi Yao: "I'm a good citizen of the empire, don't talk nonsense."

Jing Xi: "For you, how tired are my brothers? Can you give me a way out?"

Chi Yao: "Then you have to ask them to talk to my brothers."

Between three or two sentences, the atmosphere returned to its original state.

On the other side, Fu Jiubing, the person in charge of the research institution, received an emergency alarm from the AI ​​of the research institute, and immediately jumped up from the bed.

He didn't have time to get his clothes, so he dialed the number and walked out.

But for a long time, I only waited for the busy signal.

"What the hell are you doing!" He kicked the wall angrily, and when he went downstairs, he saw the butler rushing over after hearing the sound, and said loudly, "Get the car ready, go to the research institute!"

After the butler got off, he hurried to the garage.

In the car, the housekeeper glanced at the endoscope tremblingly.

The master was talking to someone in a panic, and it seemed that something went wrong.

"What are you doing? It took so long to pick it up?!" Fu Jiubing looked at the middle-aged beta in the picture, and smashed his fist on the leather armrest.

The middle-aged beta seemed to have just been woken up, touching from the bedside to putting on the glasses.

"I'm sorry, I may have slept too hard."

Fu Jiubing: "Where is Liu Sichen from?!"

The middle-aged Beta sat up, unable to hide the drowsiness between his brows and eyes.

"It's rare to end early today, so let him go home."

"Fuck!" Fu Jiubing yelled, "There is an accident in the research institute, you rush over to me immediately!"

The middle-aged beta was puzzled: "An accident? We checked when we came out, and there was no problem."

Fu Jiubing: "But I received AI feedback that foreign enemies have invaded! I provided you with such a good dormitory, but you just want to go home and don't know what's wrong! If this is exposed, no one will survive!"

The middle-aged Beta listened to his eardrum-shattering screams, rubbed his hair tiredly, and put on the shirt he had just taken off.

When he walked out of the room, the terminal vibrated suddenly and sent a text message.

[I have already made an appointment with your assistant, and I want to talk to you about Xixi's condition, and there is another matter I would like to discuss with you. 】

He glanced at the sender, Jing Rong.

After hanging up the communication, Fu Jiubing rubbed his forehead and leaned on the back of the chair, all kinds of guesses kept running in his mind.

There are too many research institutions in the base. In order not to expose the flaws, there are not many personnel in the institutions. The daily guards and inspections are all done by AI.

If it's just a few people, they can't break through the AI's defense line at all, not to mention that there are other organs on each floor.

"Was it discovered by the military?" the butler asked cautiously.

"Impossible!" Fu Jiubing said angrily, "Whether it is the military or other suspicious organizations, as long as I enter the airspace, I will definitely receive information."

Butler: "Then, is it a thief?"

Fu Jiubing sneered: "If you dare to steal from me, you are not afraid of death."

second lower floor.

Chi Yao and Jing Xi walked to the end of the corridor, but they didn't find out what they were worried about.

"Maybe just let them provide genes." Jing Xi speculated in a low voice.

But this method is too rough.

Chi Yao didn't say anything and continued walking forward.

There are two facing doors on both sides near the end. Unlike other doors, these two doors are reinforced.

Jing Xi stopped Chi Yao's attempt to unlock it, and leaned over to examine it carefully.

"What's wrong?" Chi Yao asked.

Jing Xi: "This is a military model, which was eliminated five years ago."

Chi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly.

In other words, it was built at least five years ago at the earliest.

Jing Xi tapped a long string on the sensor, which seemed to be randomly tapped.

Click.

The heavy metal door opened slowly.

Receiving Chi Yao's suspicious gaze, Jing Xi explained lightly: "When I was idle and bored, I studied how to crack this kind of lock."

Chi Yao: "Is there anything else you haven't studied?"

Jing Xi thought about it seriously: "I understand more or less."

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly: "No wonder."

Jing Xi: "?"

Chi Yao pushed the door open and went in: "No wonder you're single."

Jing Xi: "..."

As soon as he stepped in, the slight sound of footsteps echoed in his ears.

This space is much larger than those previous rooms.

After entering, there is a narrow corridor, and on the right hand side are three rooms lined up.

Chi Yao played with the ring subconsciously, and walked softly to the door of the first room.

Gently pushed the door open, there was no sound from inside.

The strong smell of blood and chemical potions filled the nostrils.

Chi Yao's eyes widened slightly when he saw everything in the room.

There are no longer living beasts in this room, but people.

The mutilated human corpses were hoisted and hung on mechanical arms, like a slaughterhouse.

There are more or less signs of animalization on them.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Chi Yao turned around and stood in front of Jing Xi.

"You stand outside and watch."

Jing Xi: "Why?"

Chi Yao: "The things inside are not suitable for you to read."

Jing Xi glanced at him, pulled him away and walked inside.

Seeing the person frozen there, Chi Yao shook his head, seeing that he had been comforted several times, he wanted to break his head before thinking of a word of comfort.

"Your little bamboo horse should not be among these people."

Jing Xi: "..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chi Yao said again: "You see, these people don't look very good, definitely not."

Jing Xi glanced at those unremarkable faces, and said lightly, "Thank you for your comfort."

Being thanked so solemnly, Chi Yao felt a little uncomfortable. Before he could figure out how to answer, he heard the other party coolly say: "But you should stop comforting others in the future."

Chi Yao: "..."

Forget it, don't bother with this dead kid.

There are codes on these corpses, exactly the same as the codes on the specimen jars.

Chi Yao asked Xiaohong and Xiaolan to record all the codes and pictures, and then looked at them one by one.

There are men and women in these people, but one thing in common is that they have no glands.

In other words, all the betas are placed in this room.

Chi Yao couldn't help thinking of the other two rooms, and had a rough guess in his mind.

From the corner of the eye, Jing Xi stared at a certain corpse very seriously.

It was the corpse of a woman, her legs were covered with fish scales, and half of her feet had turned into caudal fins.

Chi Yao frowned, walked over a few steps, and stood in front of him.

Jing Xi withdrew her gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Chi Yao sneered: "So curious about women's body structure? It's impolite to stare at people like this."

Jing Xi raised her eyebrows: "Are you jealous?"

Chi Yao: "Why should I be jealous?"

Jing Xi looked up at the "mermaid" again.

"Oh, then let me go."

Chi Yao: "..."

He turned Jing Xi's head back, forcing him to look at him.

"Don't read it."

Jing Xi: "Don't look at her, look at you?"

Chi Yao: "What's so interesting about being dead?"

Jing Xi raised her chin: "But her belly is rising and falling—"
