I'm not sick! So do my other personalities!

Among the mountains, a winding mountain road that is only accessible to internal vehicles is looming and winding among the dense greenery.

The morning sun shines over the mountains and plains, casting a faint golden glow on everything.

At the end of the road is a heavily guarded iron gate.

The towering courtyard walls and dense power grids completely obscure the scene behind the iron gate.

The iron gate has no characteristics, except that it is extremely thick, just like the factory gates that can be seen everywhere in Chinese towns.

However, there is no decoration on the door, nor any signboard, house number or the like.

At this moment, behind the iron gate, a sharp alarm bell rang.

The staff on duty, some researchers who had just woken up, the busy logistics, the guards who were still catching up on their sleep... After carefully identifying the meaning of the bell, their expressions changed.

Without any hesitation, they put on their clothes as quickly as possible, locked up the important documents, turned off all the instruments except for the monitoring equipment, and then rushed out of their location with nothing, including their internal mobile phones, and headed for the nearest open field.

Armored personnel carriers have been parked here, with serious-looking guards standing beside the vehicles. Each guard holds a paper list in his hand.

All personnel lined up spontaneously, checked their names and responsibilities at the guard, and quickly boarded the train.

Soon, an armored personnel carrier was fully loaded. It immediately started its engine and drove out along the spacious internal road.

In the entire 2250 Research Institute, while the people below the "Sixth Step" were retreating collectively, deep in the institute, a ring-shaped building slowly emerged like a mirage.

This is a building that uses optical stealth as a whole, and is also the most important site of Research Institute 2250.

However, the real focus is not in this building, but in the center of the building, which looks like a garden used to beautify the environment.

At this time, the pond, rockery, and greenery in this garden quietly shattered and disappeared.

The holographic illusion used for disguise disappeared, revealing the true appearance of this place, which was a huge round cover made of a special alloy.

Similar to an enlarged rocket launcher cover.

At this moment, it slowly opened silently, revealing the deep underground.

With the opening of underground base No. 2250, the evacuation of the huge research institute is coming to an end. The world behind the iron gate is silent, and even the chirping of birds is dispersed in the busyness of the crowd.

Not long after, the alarm bell rang again, this time very gently.

In the ring building, a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and black-rimmed glasses walked out quickly. The seemingly ordinary black-rimmed glasses were showing a three-dimensional picture in the void in front of him. The entire 2250 base was evacuated. The work has been completed, and the evacuees exactly match the list; after the last armored personnel carrier left, the system scanned three more times, and no abnormalities were found.

After confirming that the preparations were done correctly, the middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses nodded slightly. The energy aura on his body fluctuated slightly. He appeared above Research Institute 2250 and made a gesture to the empty sky.

The next moment, a huge metal human face fell from the sky.

The moment it appeared, all the high-level compatibility left behind by the 2250 Research Institute looked at the [Complete Body] infected person.

They subconsciously held their breath, their eyes were burning and obsessed, and they looked over and over the [Leader]'s body one after another.

The pinnacle of evolution of life forms is often both powerful and beautiful.

There is no doubt that the [Leader] in front of him also has an elegance and beauty that would impress even those without artistic accomplishments.

Its contours are simple, but its proportions and angles are full of the magic unique to nature. No matter which angle you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye.

It is a very high-level beauty that is difficult to describe in words.

Especially when it sinks into the underground base little by little, the huge figure casts a thick shadow and is also wrapped in a strong sense of energy oppression.

Just like an adult Siberian tiger imprisoned in a cage, even if it knows intellectually that there is no threat to it, when it roars and slaps the iron cage, people outside the cage can still feel the bravery and ferocity of the top predator. .

The metal human face slowly sank into the ground. Its charm made this scene seem to have a touch of divinity, like a high-altitude god falling into the world.

Everyone present looked at it with fascination and fascination.

The middle-aged man in a white coat and black-rimmed glasses followed the [Leader] and also entered the underground base. The moment he entered, the entrance was closed again and the optical phantom was opened again.

At this time, an old man with ordinary clothes and gray hair and beard appeared quietly next to the researchers in the underground base.

All the researchers, including the middle-aged man in a white coat and black frame, stared at the [leader], not noticing Bian Jinglun's appearance at all.

Bian Jinglun smiled and said immediately: "Xiao Zhao."

The middle-aged man in a white coat and black-rimmed glasses was startled and suddenly came to his senses. He turned around and saw Bian Jinglun. He immediately stood up and saluted, and said very respectfully: "Mr. Bian, thank you very much!"

"Since the [Complete Body] infected person this time has been handed over to our 2250 Research Institute, we will do our best and never let the higher ups down!"

Bian Jinglun nodded slightly. After he uploaded the [Leader] matter to the internal system just now, several top research institutes in the country started arguing in the channel in order to compete for the [Leader]. They even started to arrange locations to prepare real people. The fight started offline, and at the same time, he frantically sent him private messages, racking his brains to try to convince him to choose him.

Among them, the most fiercely contested ones are the lunar shelter and the deep-sea shelter.

The plans given by these two research institutes, as well as the particularity of their locations, were originally more suitable for imprisoning the [Leader]. However, on the way, Zhou Zhen conveyed information to Bian Jinglun, and Zhou Zhen's consciousness could not Leave the earth!

Otherwise, the "digital rain" in his body will risk waking up.

Therefore, the lunar shelter is directly excluded.

The deep-sea shelter is good in all aspects, but the problem is that [The Leader] has its own magnetic field. Once it gets close, the magnetic field will affect all surrounding electronic devices.

The deep-sea shelter built deep under the sea hosts several cutting-edge international technologies.

If you just open the entrance and exit with the electronic equipment turned off and let the [Leader] in, there is no problem. Pure machinery can completely solve it.

But all the equipment inside must be shut down for a period of time, which means that the research on several important technologies will definitely be affected, especially some delicate biological vessels. Once they lose the harsh growth environment maintained by technology, they will be killed and injured in minutes. …

Although the Deep Sea Shelter made various guarantees and even began to contact other research institutes to temporarily relocate some projects that could not leave electronic equipment, Bian Jinglun still felt that there was no need to take risks.

After all, although [Leader] is important, the projects of the Deep Sea Shelter also cost China a lot of materials.

Although the deep sea shelter is suitable for holding [Leader], the greatest value of this [Complete Body] infected person is not being locked up, but the various subsequent experiments.

So deep sea shelters are also ruled out.

Among the remaining research institutes, Bian Jinglun originally had a few choices, but when he was considering it, Zhou Zhen sent him another message. In addition to Zhou Zhen, this [Leader] can also control "Digital Rain"!

The research institute that houses "Digital Rain" has no choice!

Therefore, after a round of screening, there are only 2250 research institutes left among the top research institutes!

Now, the "Xiao Zhao" standing in front of him respectfully is Zhao Zeqian, the director of the 2250 Research Institute.

Thinking of this, Bian Jinglun suddenly said seriously: "This [Leader] is the only [Complete] infected person in the world that has been captured alive so far."

"Its value is immeasurable."

"Originally, such an important experiment was going to be sent to a lunar shelter."

"However, after comprehensive consideration, we finally chose your 2250 Research Institute."

"You are all experts on how to do it specifically, so I won't say more."

"Even if [Leader] sends it over now, other research institutes are still watching."

"If we can't produce results, other research institutes will be very willing to take over this job!"

Zhao Zeqian hurriedly replied: "Mr. Bian, don't worry!"

"Our 2250 Research Institute is also very powerful."

"In the past five years, the projects we have studied include... and... and..."

"Especially in the field related to infected people, our strength is no worse than that of the Lunar Asylum!"

"In fact, our research specialists on infected people have achieved certain results. However, there has been no suitable experimental subjects and the research cannot continue, so it has not been reported."

"This time with this living [complete] infected person, I promise to give the higher ups a good answer!"

Bian Jinglun replied calmly: "Then I'll wait."

Zhao Zeqian rubbed his hands excitedly, hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Bian, how did you catch this [Leader]...?"

"If it's a confidentiality clause, then I won't ask."

"If not, I think it may be used as a reference when formulating experimental projects in the future."

Bian Jinglun glanced at the [Leader] who was already surrounded by researchers and began to preliminary measure the body shape and energy index, and said: "The only person who caught it is the newly recruited member of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Team, Xiao Duan, Zhou Zhen."

"You can contact him to ask about the specific situation."

2250 Research Institute, underground base.

Several researchers on high-level stairs stood on the trestle. The shape of the trestle is a ring with a hollow in the middle.

The [Leader] had just entered the underground, and the [Growth Stage] infected people hanging below immediately let out low roars at several researchers.

But soon, as the metal wire under the [Leader] swayed slightly, those infected in the [Growth Stage] became mute for an instant, as if they had lost all energy at once, and stood motionless, letting the metal wire hang them. In mid-air, it continued to fall downwards like a stone statue.

The metal wire floating above them twisted for a while, and under Zhou Zhen's control, he gestured to the researchers with two words: "Continue."

On the way here, Bian Jinglun gave Zhou Zhen some tips on energy control. Although Zhou Zhen still couldn't control the [Growth Stage] infected people under the silk thread, it was quite simple to absorb their energy.

At this time, seeing the main body of [Leader] being so cooperative, the several researchers responsible for guidance all became energetic.

A female researcher wearing rimless glasses and a high ponytail manipulated the mid-air trestle to open and move, clearing the way to the real laboratory, and said loudly: "Just don't move next."

"All electronic equipment in the institute has been turned off now. We need to manually operate the machinery. Please wait for a moment."

While talking, these researchers walked quickly on the trestle, constantly adjusting various mechanical switches.

Bang bang bang... bang... bang...

Various metal friction sounds alternately sounded in the air. Soon, the crisscrossing trestles gave way to a spacious road, leading the [Leader] to the temporarily vacant laboratory inside.

The laboratory now looks a bit messy, with traces of rapid dismantling and scattered mechanical equipment everywhere.

Due to its high ceiling, it looks particularly empty.

After the [Leader] entered, several researchers who had followed him immediately jumped off the trestle. After landing, they pushed the heavy metal door to close, and then began to turn the wheel behind the door.

Wow…

Inside the heavy door, the sound of the winch tightening was suddenly heard.

At the same time, several researchers who arrived in the laboratory first swarmed up in a very tacit understanding, some holding various mechanical instruments to record detailed data on the motionless [Growth Stage] infected people;

Some put on special gloves and began to study metal threads;

Some floated into the air and headed straight for Cocoon Mountain;

Others wore protective clothing and held equipment, aiming at the metal face...

More researchers quickly assembled the mechanical equipment, then used special gloves to grab the hanging metal wires and fixed them into the equipment one by one.

After half an hour of busy work, the main body of [Leader] has landed on the ground, and all the silk threads extending from the "back of the head" have been stuck in the device; the cocoon mountain has also been injected with special The potion was temporarily inactive; those [Growth Stage] infected individuals were cryogenically frozen into statues and placed nearby.

The entire laboratory has also been fully sealed and alerted.

Zhou Zhen can clearly feel that although he is still connected to Cocoon Mountain and the [Growth Stage] infected people, he can't do anything to them, and he can no longer extract from Cocoon Mountain and [Growth Stage] infected people. energy.

In addition, he felt that he could still control the [Leader], but the [Leader]'s body had also become very slow.

This 2250 Research Institute is indeed the top research institute in China, and it is very capable even for those infected with [Complete Body].

Just as he was thinking about it, a researcher pressed a knife on a mechanical device and shouted excitedly: "The magnetic field blockade has been completed!"

"The power system can be restarted!"

The next moment, outside the laboratory, the power system was turned on, various equipment restarted, and the indicator lights lit up.

Seeing that everything was normal, the researcher said loudly again: "The brainwave detector can be turned on."

"The multi-dimensional scanner can be activated."

"Energy detector, can detect..."

"Researchers below the 'Sixth Step' can return to the research institute after wearing protective clothing..."

At this time, Zhou Zhen felt that his consciousness gradually began to blur.

At the last moment, Bian Jinglun's figure appeared in front of him and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, you did a good job!"

"I have signed and distributed part of the rewards for the mission."

"However, this mission and the rewards of the mission are confidential."

"Don't leak it to the outside world..."

※※※

In Binhai City, the huge mother ship is still hovering above the city, blocking the sunlight in a considerable area.

However, perhaps due to the improvement of the city's situation, the projection of the spaceship at this moment does not appear gloomy. Instead, it is like a leafy protector, providing solid and reliable shelter.

Exclusive lounge.

The room that automatically entered sleep mode was dimly lit. Zhou Zhen suddenly woke up. The light above him sensed something and immediately began to slowly turn brighter. The cooling system that originally raised the temperature also began to decrease slightly.

The light like the morning sun shines on the face, making people feel refreshed.

Zhou Zhen was about to get up when he noticed an extra unread message on the visual sensor.

He immediately selected "View". After clicking on the information, there was a large section of special code and a one-minute countdown in the upper right corner.

Zhou Zhen quickly realized that this was an encrypted message from the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps and needed to be decoded before it could be read normally.

The countdown is the time the information is retained. After the countdown ends, the information will be automatically destroyed regardless of whether it has completed decoding!

When he and Tao Nange were in Tongfu City, Tao Nange applied for formulas for various medicines and received similar encrypted information.

Of course, the encrypted information Tao Nange obtained at that time did not have a countdown, presumably because the confidentiality level was not high enough.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen immediately started decoding according to the previously transplanted memory of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps.

The first sentence after decoding the message is: "'Digital Rain' research report, sender: Ghost No. 001."
