With a strange smile, Delson walked back to the door, where there is the master control switch of the underground laboratory.

He tapped the switch a few times, and the fish tank, which had just recovered its calm, fluctuated again.

Li Yu was surprised to see that a black iron cage was lowered from above the water.

There was someone in the cage, he was wearing an oxygen mask and a diving suit, holding a fishing gun in his hand, and he was in a standard posture ready to shoot.

"Mr. Dyerson, you..."

"Shh." Dilson put his fingers up in front of his lips, "Don't be nervous, watch carefully."

The man coaxed in a low voice, and his words were full of frightening gloom.

Li Yu's fingers clenched into fists unconsciously, and his heartbeat continued to speed up as time went by.

He was afraid of seeing a bloody scene.

The man in the cage also seemed a little nervous, his hands were shaking, especially when the mermaid swam towards him quickly, he even took a step back, and the next moment his back was pressed against the cage, the trigger was pulled.

The black fish hunting dart popped out and shot straight towards the mermaid's face.

Li Yu's heart seemed to be held by a hand, oppressed, suffocated, and fearful. When all these emotions reached a critical point, the mermaid turned around suddenly, with its flexible and powerful tail sweeping across the water, and the fish dart made of fine steel broke. It became three pieces.

Delson turned his head and smiled at the young man beside him, "This is their strength, and what you saw today is only a small part of their ability..."

At this moment, the movement in the water interrupted his exuberant explanation.

The mermaid didn't stop attacking, and continued to move forward. At some point, something like a bone spur grew on the back of his hand, easily cutting off the metal padlock hanging outside the cage.

The divers in the cage opened their eyes wide in horror, and beat the cage desperately, trying to get Daleson to raise the cage up.

However, the person who stood outside and controlled his life and death did not respond.

Li Yu, "Professor!"

Delson gave him a hard look this time, "Shut up!"

Li Yu closed his eyes, "1551, save people."

"Immediately." 1551 left the words and disappeared.

The padlock shaved off by the bone spur fell vertically into the bottom of the water, and the mermaid had already roughly torn down the cage door, trying to reach out to drag the diver out.

Just after this moment, a miracle happened, the cage suddenly rose rapidly, throwing the mermaid down.

Daleson froze for a moment, rushed to the door, and kept poking around on the display screen, cursing, "Damn it, what's going on!"

It wasn't until the cage was completely out of the water that Li Yu was completely relieved, his knees were weak, and he leaned against the glass.

The male mermaid who had hit the glass returned empty-handed, just bared his teeth at the young man, and did not attack any more.

Doorway.

Dyson was furious. No matter how he pressed, there was no response on the screen, and the fingerprint recognition failed.

"Damn rubbish!" He punched the screen forcefully, turned around and ordered sharply, "Get out."

Li Yu hurried out and left the underground laboratory with Dyerson.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I was greeted with warmth, which made me feel like I was alive again.

Delson ignored the young man, closed the elevator door, and went directly to the office on the top floor of the research institute building.

If a good lock is broken, it will be broken. Li Yu guessed that the logistics department will definitely be punished.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the sound of the time broadcast sounded above the head, and it was time to get off work.

Li Yu hurried back to the dormitory, took his lunch box and went to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was on the first floor of the research institute building, and it was cleaned very cleanly. At this time, no one was eating there except the staff.

Because of the lack of supplies and the shortage of resources, don't even think about big fish and big meat.

Li Yu used points to get a boiled sweet potato and a vegetable soup. After thinking about it, he ordered another steamed bun.

Probably because the original owner's picture is pleasing, and the gauze on his head is particularly distressing. The canteen aunt took pity on him and stuffed him with an extra steamed bun.

Li Yu, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you, you spend so much time trying to make our lives better every day, you should eat more."

There are only so many staff members in the research institute, and after working for a long time, the aunt can basically recognize everyone, but as soon as she finished speaking, she remembered that the young man was a newcomer.

The aunt couldn't help but persuaded again, "Don't keep thinking about saving points, your body is the most important thing."

Li Yu hadn't eaten since he woke up, and his stomach was growling with hunger. He smiled gratefully at his aunt, walked to the corner and sat down.

Not long after, people who got off work entered the cafeteria one after another.

There were more than a dozen of them in a group, all of them had serious expressions, and they should be discussing work. Occasionally, a few of them were smiling, and they only talked to the people next to them.

The people in each laboratory in the institute are very gang-conscious and don't like to deal with people from other laboratories.

Li Yu lowered his eyes, took a sip of the soup, continued to chew the dry steamed buns, thinking about things in the underground laboratory.

"1551, don't those three mermaids have totems on their faces?" The situation was chaotic at the time, and he was afraid that he might make a mistake.

System, "Yes."

Li Yu wrote down this clue, thinking that he had to pull 001's hair back to see what the totem on his face was.

After stuffing the last piece into his mouth, he left the remaining steamed buns and sweet potatoes in the lunch box and took them back to the dormitory.

After entering the door, the young man found a clean water cup with a lid from the cabinet, filled it with water, held it in his hand, took the heavy lunch box, and went out again.

When he was about to go downstairs, Li Yu wondered if 001 was there, and asked, "1551, is the target in the woods?"

"In the... southeast of the woods, near the garbage disposal."

Li Yu had a strange expression, stunned, pity, and couldn't bear it, "Is he picking up garbage to eat?"

How miserable.

"...No." The system was speechless, "Go and see for yourself."

Li Yu, "...oh."

Unavoidably getting lost again, he followed the map and compass all the way, and it took him more than half an hour to cross the entire forest and reach the edge.

In front of him was a huge deep pit, in which was dumped a lot of unrecyclable waste from the laboratory.

Li Yu saw that among the pile of garbage, a man with disheveled hair was bending over to find something.

I don't know if I noticed my gaze, but the movement of the man's hands stopped, and he turned his head to look over.

Li Yu nimbly hid behind a tree, frowning and recalling what the man was holding in his hand just now.

It's too far away, and it's hard to tell just by the blurred outline.

"1551, what is he holding in his hand?"

"A broken semiconductor chip."

"Let me just say that this person is tricky." Li Yu curled his lips, and then fell into doubts again. What is the use of the target's chip, and will he repair it? Even if he does, there is no repair tool.

This series of questions went through in his mind, and after confirming that he could not get the answer immediately, he was temporarily put aside.

Li Yu poked his head out again, frowned suspiciously, "Where's the person?"

Suspecting that he had missed it, he rubbed his eyes and blinked again, but still nothing.

Just as he was about to call the system, a blur suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. A tall man jumped down from the tree above him and easily pressed him against the tree trunk.

Li Yu tried to struggle, but the more he moved, the stronger the strength in the man's hand.

The scapula and the hard tree trunk are against each other, like an egg hitting a rock, and the bone is almost broken.

Li Yu didn't care about face, he raised his hand and clasped the wrist, begging to go around, "It hurts, let go quickly, brother, can I call your brother?"

The young man's blue eyes became moist due to the pain, 001 was stunned, his strength relaxed, but he still maintained absolute suppression, guarding against the enemy's tricks.

Li Yu was able to breathe, without struggling or screaming, but quietly clasped the hands on his shoulders.

Speaking of confrontation, the young man's eyes are too gentle, not like it.

Said it was resistance, the young man's hand was only lightly holding his own wrist, which didn't look like it.

001 rarely fell into doubt.

The man's body temperature was normal and his pulse was normal. In the woods before, Dyerson's words were harsh, but there was one sentence that was true. The similarity between 001 and other species was too low, let alone a mermaid without legs.

Through the dirty black hair, Li Yu glimpsed that there was indeed an unclear line on the man's face, which was much larger than the mermaid's totem in the data.

Li Yu came back to his senses and asked the system, "Is it him?"

1551,"Immediately."

Li Yu snorted, then suddenly raised his other hand, and quickly lifted the hair on the man's forehead, revealing the dirty face underneath.

To be honest, it is quite dark, and I don't know how long I haven't washed my face, but I can vaguely tell from the blurred outline that it should look good.

Li Yu sighed in his heart, forget it, even if he was a little ugly after washing it, he would admit it.

001 was taken aback by the young man's inexplicable movement, and after reacting, he blocked the hand and quickly backed away, with great anger in his black eyes.

Li Yu glanced at the back of his hand that was slapped red, and frowned. Thinking of the hardships the man had suffered all these years, his anger disappeared immediately.

He took the lunch box out of the big pocket of his white coat and lifted the lid. The steamed buns and sweet potatoes inside were warm and emitting steam.

001 remained unmoved, watching the young man warily.

Li Yu sat down cross-legged unhurriedly, put the lunch box in front of him, and was about to speak, when there was a ding in his head, and a light screen appeared in front of his eyes.

【Hazardous Level: A++】

【Protagonist secret: 1】

The young man's eyes were fixed on the front, and the corners of his mouth were raised for a while, and then pressed down again for a while, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

Seeing him frozen like a statue, 001 didn't respond for a long time, his guard gradually lowered, and the threatening growl in his throat disappeared. He always only had a defensive heart, and a trace of curiosity arose, and he couldn't restrain himself from wanting to explore and understand.

Li Yu glanced at the man staring at him, very incredible.

The target's aggressiveness is not strong, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but all this is too far away from A++, can 001 also have bone spurs on the back of his hand like a mermaid, or a tail with bone spurs?

Li Yu was thinking, and his eyes fell on the back of the man's hands and bare feet unconsciously.

Although the back of the hand is not clean, the bones are normal. As for the feet, they are really just feet, not forked fish tails that can be merged again.

Li Yu failed to think about it, so he turned to the next question. He frowned and asked the system, "Is there really only one secret that this world needs to find?"

1551, "The system will not make mistakes, of course, the possibility of adding later is not ruled out."

Li Yu was thoughtful, things will not be so simple, there must be fraud.

1551 reminded, "Take one step at a time. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, and be careful of someone coming."

Others ran into each other when they saw it, Li Yu wasn't worried, what he was worried about was meeting that pervert.

Delson's brain circuit is abnormal, and the ghost knows what he will think and do when he sees himself and 001 together.

Li Yu rubbed his face in boredom, sighed, and suddenly hit a straight ball, "001, do you want to leave here?"

The man remained silent, still maintaining his previous state, and he didn't know if he heard what he said.

Li Yu continued on his own, "Delson took me to the underground laboratory, and I saw your people..."

He didn't stay in the underground laboratory for a long time, so he didn't see anything, but he knew that according to Dyerson's behavior, it was impossible to just lock the mermaid inside, and he would definitely take other measures to restrict the freedom of the mermaid.

What could it be?

The young man stopped talking suddenly in the middle, 001 frowned slightly, took a step forward, and retreated when he thought of something.

Li Yu looked at him back and forth, was too entangled, and clicked his tongue, "They are locked in a glass fish tank..."

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he jumped up from the ground, "You want to save them!"

That's why men pick up chips in the trash.

Li Yu suddenly smiled, his eyes were bent into the moon, shining brightly, and the corners of his lips were lifted, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"001, it's not that you don't know anything, you're actually very smart, right?"

The man was still like a mute, refusing to say a word, he turned his head slightly to glance at the young man, climbed up the tree in a flash, jumped back and forth among the branches, and quickly disappeared among the lush leaves.

Li Yu looked down at the food on the ground, thought for a while, and moved it to a hidden location.

"I'm leaving, I'll keep things here, remember to eat when you're hungry, I..."

Suddenly, there was a continuous clicking sound ahead, which was the sound of feet breaking dead branches.

It seems that today's meeting is coming to an end.

Li Yu pursed his lips unhappily, said in a low voice, "I'll come see you tomorrow", turned around and left.

He walked all the way and looked back, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see, and he was disappointed.

"Su He."

When he heard the voice, Li Yu didn't realize that it was him who was called by the other party, and he only realized it after the system reminded him.

The visitor is a woman.

Li Yu searched in his memory. It should be Kailin. She is the only female researcher in the institute, and she is the deputy director of the 003 laboratory.

It is said that Kailin is the only daughter of the head of the underground fortress. Of course, no one can confirm this, because every time her family is mentioned, she keeps silent, and occasionally even shows fierce rejection.

The original owner had only been in the lab for half a month, and she had met Kailin twice because of similar incidents and lost her temper.

Kailin has a high position, but her work is also very complicated. She is mainly responsible for external liaison, internal coordination, and logistics management of No. 003 research room.

To put it bluntly, he is the head of the laboratory.

This seemingly hot-tempered deputy director was accidentally seen by the original owner and secretly shed tears because of the death of the experimental subject.

He is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

When an accident happened in the laboratory, Kailin happened not to be there. If she had been... Li Yu thought, she would definitely drag out the original owner who did not know whether she was alive or dead.

"Su He, stop for me." The hoarse shout approached quickly, and a red figure came straight from the front right.

Li Yu was bluffed by the opponent's aura of killing, so he really stopped obediently.

Kailin first looked at the young man carefully, then raised her hand to touch the bandage on his head, "Why don't you continue to be hospitalized."

Li Yu, "There is nothing wrong with the wound, and there is no need to be hospitalized."

Kailin disagreed with the young man's indifferent attitude, and said sternly, "Then you shouldn't run around, but stay in the dormitory and have a good rest."

Seeing the young man nodding his head obediently, and the words of criticism stuck in her throat, she took a breath, pinched the bridge of her nose and asked wearily, "I heard from Qian Song that you asked him about 001."

Li Yu, "..."

Unexpectedly, Qian Song still has a big mouth.

He honestly admitted, "I found out, what's the matter?"

"So you're here to look for him." Kailin raised her head with reproachful eyes, "None of us can be sure whether 001 is in danger or not. Those people always provoke him anyway. That's their business. You are not allowed to go." .”

Judging from this, Kailin seemed to know something.

Li Yu, "But I heard from Brother Song that 001 is not dangerous."

"Little brother, you want to talk to me."

Kailin crossed her arms, leaned back, raised her chin and sneered, "Then do you know why that lunatic Daleson always runs to the woods?"

Li Yu was at a loss, "Why?"

Kailin, "Dellson has been watching 001, and he still doesn't believe that 001 will always maintain this cowardly look."

Li Yu can be sure that no one else should know about this matter, otherwise Qian Song would have brought this matter up when he persuaded him.

"You haven't told anyone else about this, why tell me alone."

"You're very smart." The smile on Kailin's face was fleeting and her expression was heavy. "Do you know where the research assistant before you went?"

Li Yu froze for a moment and shook his head. He didn't know that the original owner's current position had been occupied before, and he thought that the lab was too busy to recruit new people.

Kailin, "I don't know either, he just left a resignation letter in the dormitory and it disappeared."

Her face was ugly, her brows were tightly frowned, and she seemed a little confused, "I know that his disappearance must be related to Dyerson, and that person must have discovered Dyerson's secret."

Li Yu, "What does this have to do with 001?"

"How can it be okay? Why is Dyerson paying attention to a worthless experimental subject?"

Kailin solemnly warned, "Stay away from everything related to Delson, and do your job well. Su He, you are only 20 years old, and your life has just begun. Don't ruin your life because of curiosity."

"I see." Li Yu agreed verbally, but it was another matter in his heart.

Not only did he continue to approach 001, but he also took 001 with him to leave this ghostly place.

Seeing that the young man didn't mess with her, Kailin was relieved, "Let's go."

As soon as the two walked out of the woods, the irrigation system in the woods started, but it stopped after only 30 seconds.

The water on the ground is polluted and cannot be used. Human beings don't know how long they can survive with only this poor groundwater.

Li Yu turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he saw a figure passing by the edge of the tree trunk.

"Don't look, hurry up and go." Kailin urged impatiently.

Li Yu followed up obediently, and while Kailin was not paying attention, he waved to the woods.

In the dormitory, Qian Song came back from dinner, changed his clothes, and was about to go to the fitness center.

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "Wait, I'll go too."

Qian Song raised his eyebrows, "No matter how much I persuaded you not to go before, why did you figure it out today?"

Li Yu opened his closet, picked out a short sleeve, and put on a pair of shorts, "It's always good to exercise more, so as not to encounter what happened last time, and the gun can't be held steady."

"The same thing won't happen again." Qian Song said, "Two or three minutes before the end of get off work, someone from the logistics department came and said that all the glass should be replaced with the latest explosion-proof glass."

Li Yu asked casually, "What about the underground laboratory?"

Qian Song was surprised, "Mr. Delson has already taken you there?"

"Yes, just an hour ago."

"This is a kind of affirmation from the professor to you." Qian Song said with a smile.

Li Yu nodded his head hard, his gaze still fixed on the opposite face, as if he was looking for the previous answer.

Qian Song, "Probably not, because there is no need."

Li Yu's heart sank suddenly, he had some bad guesses, and asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"
