Darkness is Coming Chapter 181

It was the same strange-smelling reception room. Qiu Zhe, who was wearing a white coat, sank deeply into the sofa in a strange sitting position, constantly tossing a glass test tube filled with transparent liquid in his hand, and a strong man in leather stood behind him. , like a sculpture, with no expression, no movement, and even the sound of breathing is barely audible.

   "pat"

   Qiu Zhe's right hand finally made a mistake, causing the glass test tube to fall to the ground and shatter, and the liquid inside splashed out. Qiu Zhe looked at his empty palm, shrugged and didn't care, because the test tube contained only water.

   "Let Hou Jie in." Qiu Zhe said while taking out the miniature wireless earphones from his ear canal, took off his glasses, and threw them on the sofa casually.

   The strong man in leather bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the reception room. After a while, he led Hou Jie back. As soon as Hou Jie entered the door, he bowed to Qiu Zhe on the sofa and bent his waist to the end, showing great respect.

   "Mr. Qiu."

   "Well." Qiu Zhe rubbed his eye sockets and sockets, and asked, "How are you doing with your account?"

"I have collected all the information I can get access to." Hou Jie didn't dare to raise his head, he still kept a bowing posture, recounted what he saw and heard in Jiangxin Island, and finally took it off his wrist. A silver bracelet engraved with runes was handed to Qiu Zhe.

   The strong man in leather behind Qiu Zhe took a step forward, grabbed the bracelet in his hand, looked over and over, but found nothing unusual, and then turned his questioning eyes to Hou Jie.

Hou Jie, who bent down and bowed his head, could not see his eyes, but he could guess his reaction and know what he should answer: "This is the strangest object I have seen on Jiangxin Island. It's called a rune bracelet, and it's made of silver, and I've heard that the higher the silver content, the better the effect."

   "Oh, what's the effect?" Qiu Zhe raised a little interest, straightened up on the sofa, and curiously looked at the bracelet held by the strong man in leather jacket, but did not reach for it.

Faced with Mr. Qiu's question, Hou Jie did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "As long as the brain nucleus is placed in the three grooves in the middle, the wearer's physical fitness can be greatly improved. No one knows the mechanism of action, at least I have access to it. Those of you who don't know about it. The bracelet I bought from the Jiangxin Island black market is all made of 925 silver, and it's the most advanced rune bracelet I can buy.”

   Qiu Zhe raised his chin, motioned for the strong man in leather to put on the bracelet, and asked Hou Jie, "Is there anything more advanced?"

"Yes, 925 silver contains 92.5% silver, because the higher the silver content of the raw material of the rune bracelet, the better the effect, so there are more advanced bracelets made of pure silver with a silver content of more than 99%. , but I heard from the black market boss that the material is too soft, and it is difficult to form it when it is made, and only a small amount of pure silver rune bracelets made by special techniques are in the hands of the senior officials of the Far Rescue Association."

"Oh, yes, you are very meticulous." Qiu Zhe nodded with satisfaction and said, "No. 3, take Hou Jie to the fourth floor to get serum samples, then take him to inject RA1, and assign a research team to make serum and secondary Level Booster. Hou Jie, bring enough serum and secondary booster to Jiangxin Island in ten days to give to the lovely President Yang."

"Yes!" Hou Jie was so excited that his whole body was shaking. RA1, reaugment-1, this is a re-enhancing potion specially developed by Mr. Qiu for reformers. It is the highest level of scientific research in this laboratory. Through rejection, he can become a real super soldier, a super soldier like No. 3.

  No. 3, that is, the strong man in leather jacket whose name was erased and only had a serial number, led Hou Jie to the reception room. Qiu Zhe closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa for a while, stood up, walked into the elevator, and pressed the emergency call button.

   The elevator did not sound an alarm, but continued to run down to the minus eighth floor, which was not displayed on the floor button panel.

  The area of ​​the negative eighth floor is much smaller than the upper floors. When you get out of the elevator, you can only see a hospital bed and an ecological tank. An old man covered in infusion tubes was lying on the hospital bed. He was dying. The dense spots on his body made it difficult to tell whether it was age spots or corpse spots. In the ecological tank, there was a brain immersed in a complex solution, like breathing. Slightly ups and downs, no blood can be seen in the brain, and the electrodes are covered with electrodes. With the naked eye, tiny metals are embedded in the cortical folds. The other part of the electrode wire is connected to a computer, and there are several lines of different colors on the display screen.

  Two figures walked out of the shadows. At first glance, they were no different from ordinary people, but upon closer inspection, one could find something unusual: the one on the left had a pair of **** ears, and the one on the right had a swollen throat with a strange shape.

   These are two variants.

Facing the two mutants who came out of the shadows, the expression on Qiu Zhe's face did not change at all, he nodded at the mutant with a swollen throat on the right, and said, "Tell him that there is nothing wrong with his plan, I I just contacted the president of Yuanjiao Society in this image and identity, but he didn't notice my true identity. When I do the next transaction, I can go to Jiangxin Island in this identity, and I won't make him suspicious. "

The mutant laughed twice and puffed out his throat. The throat, which was originally just the size of a volleyball, suddenly swelled. It was bigger than a basketball. Sound frequencies are well below his audible range.

   The brain in the ecological tank seemed to wake up, and it trembled for a while, and the lines on the display were sharply raised, and then fluctuated one after another.

  The mutant with a pair of huge ears closed his eyes and listened for a while, then said, "I hope you can abide by the agreement. As long as I can get what I want, I will definitely solve the puzzle for you."

   Qiu Zhe frowned and looked at the ecological tank. It wasn't the mutant who was talking to him, but the brain in the tank. These two mutants were just building a bridge for the conversation and being the interpreter in the middle of the conversation.

   "You should at least tell me what you want in Jiangxin Island, or tell me where it is."

The two mutants were busy for a while, and then sent a reply: "Please don't seek other people's secrets without authorization. As for where that thing is, I was not sure before, but now I think I probably know. I will tell at the right time. you."

"Haha." Qiu Zhe laughed angrily, "It's been more than a month, and you haven't provided any valuable information, and my research has made any breakthroughs. My patience is limited. If I change my mind, You don't think your two cannon fodder men can keep you, do you?"

   "Killing my brain doesn't mean you can get rid of me. If you want to save your father, please be patient. As long as I get what I want, I will tell you the answers you need."

   Qiu Zhe sneered and cast a cold look at the two mutants in front of him, sending a silent threat. He is not afraid of these two mutants, because as he said, these are just two cannon fodders with low combat effectiveness, and even No. 3 can easily dismantle them.

   "You two, go back to where you should be, and don't come out without my permission in the future." Qiu Zhe pointed to a dim tunnel on the negative eighth floor facing the elevator.

The variant with a swollen throat seemed to be irritated by the bossy tone. With a "hiss", he made a ferocious expression, grinding the fangs in his mouth, but failed to make the next move, standing beside him. The giant ear mutant grabbed his arm and whispered something in his ear. The former's throat quickly deflated like a punctured ball, and he died, allowing the latter to pull him into the tunnel.

When the figures of the two mutants completely disappeared in the long, narrow and dark tunnel, Qiu Zhe's face gradually softened, he straightened his hair, walked to the bed, knelt down slowly, and held the old man's skinny right hand on the bed. , put it on his forehead, as if praying.

   "Dad, hold on, wait, wait, wait. Soon, soon I'll be successful."
