Chapter 19:
Tang Xiao followed the source of the voice and saw that it was Xiaohua.
She squatted in the corner of the laboratory with her arms crossed, her face blank. Seeing Tang Xiao, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he slapped his little leather shoes into Tang Xiao's arms.
"Xiaohua, why are you here?" Tang Xiao was very puzzled.
Xiaohua shook her head: "I don't know either. I was sleeping next to my mother, and suddenly I felt so cold that I found myself here."
She raised her head and hugged Tang Xiao's waist: "Sister, I'm so cold."
The temperature in this laboratory-like room is indeed very low. Tang Xiao took off his coat and put it on Xiaohua, and opened the information bar at the same time:
"System, what's going on?"
[When a player with important plot characters and items enters the dungeon, the plot characters will automatically enter the dungeon and pass the level together with the player. - "Infinite Doomsday" customer service online for you. 】
"What is a 'significant story character'?"
[The NPCs who exist in the original game plot and have a huge role in promoting the plot are called "important plot characters."]
After getting the answer from the system, Tang Xiao looked at Xiao Hua who looked confused and fell into deep thought. She remembered that there was indeed a plot to develop infectious drugs in the original game, so the research data in the backpack can be said to be an important plot item. But why is Xiaohua a plot character?
She doesn't remember the existence of this little girl in the main line of the game.
Temporarily suppressing her thoughts, she is going to leave here with Xiaohua first to see what is going on with this copy.
The room in front of me is about 20 square meters, and it is all cold silver. There are several metal instruments in the corners, and the indicator lights are on. I don't know what they are used for. There is a glass door on the south side, which is the only exit of the laboratory.
Tang Xiao felt that this room was indescribably strange. The flickering lights on the ceiling seemed to have been in disrepair for a long time, but the room was bright and clean, and the instruments were still working, which looked very inconsistent.
Take Xiaohua's hand out of the glass door, outside the door is a long and narrow corridor, the lights are still flickering. There are many doors on both sides of the corridor. From the outside, there are almost the same rooms inside, and all of them are empty.
Suddenly, there was a faint quarrel at the end of the corridor. She quickened her pace and finally heard the conversation clearly.
"This is nonsense! I will not agree to start this project!"
A slightly old voice was shouting furiously, sounding full of anger.
A few seconds later, a cold male voice sounded, "All subjects are voluntary registration, as long as there are enough data samples, it can prove that the research direction of this experiment is correct. The base only needs to be reopened. Experiment registration..."
"Impossible!" The old voice was furious, "We study the antidote to save our compatriots, not to turn them into zombies!"
"The virus has swept over half of the world, and we are running out of time." After a pause, the cold male voice continued, "I have decided."
"Chu Chen!!"
The quarrel came to an abrupt end with the old man's violent drinking, and the corridor fell into silence again.
Feeling Xiaohua clenched her hand in fear, Tang Xiao touched her head soothingly and looked around.
At that very moment, this place has been abandoned for a long time, the ground is covered with dust, and the ceiling is covered with cobwebs. Some of the glass doors on both sides were even broken. The instrument inside can be seen through the door, and the indicator light is dim, as if it has not been working for a long time.
The previous sense of discord finally disappeared. Tang Xiao realized that they may have entered some kind of retrospective just now, and what they saw was a scene when the experimental building had not yet fallen.
The man named Chu Shen just now, and the old man who was arguing with him, should be the person in charge of an experimental project, or even the leader of the base.
The experiment they were talking about... Sounded very capable, but Tang Xiao was completely unimpressed.
The experiment that was destroyed together with the base where the first batch of antidote data was researched, the little flower that was picked up with the antidote data on the way... How many secrets does this base hide in the game?
The two continued to walk forward, and finally reached the end of the corridor, where the quarrel came. There were two closed metal gates, with a smart lock on the left.
[Hint: You need to get a pass. 】
Tang Xiao could only turn back with Xiaohua. There were no windows in the entire corridor, no floor signs, and no way to leave.
In other words, she must find the pass card that can open the metal door from these rooms to proceed to the next step of the dungeon.
Although everything is still a fog, but fortunately there is no time limit, no monsters have appeared for the time being, you can directly find them one by one.
In this way, starting from the room closest to the metal door, one by one was turned upside down by Tang Xiao. These rooms are different from what I saw at first, and there are many messy and trivial items in them. For example, reagents dropped on the ground, lab coats placed on chairs, cabinets with serious damage, etc. But without exception, there is no pass.
Xiaohua also wanted to help find it, but Tang Xiao was afraid of virus pollution, so she only let her see the gap between the floor and the ceiling. So Xiaohua wore Tang Xiao's clothes like a cloak, and stood at the door to probe her head.
I searched the entire corridor and went back to the metal gate, but there was no sign of the pass. Tang Xiao was a little helpless. She knew that this dungeon would not be that easy, but now there are no monsters to fight, and no mysteries to solve. Where is the difficulty?
Do I need to recharge?
[Ding, the novice benefit is open. Players only need to recharge 100,000 gold bars to get the item [pass card]. 】
[Customer service online reminder: novice benefits can help players to successfully complete the copy, only one chance, please cherish! 】
“…”
Tang Xiao ignored the constantly beating information bar and said to Xiaohua, "We may have to find it again. If you are hungry, you can eat biscuits first."
Xiaohua blinked her dark eyes, and suddenly poked Tang Xiao's arm, "Sister, I seem to have been here before."
"En?" Tang Xiao looked at her and suddenly remembered that Xiaohua and her family used to live in the base, and her father was still a researcher here.
Xiaohua said: "I came here to find my father, and then the security uncle took me away and gave me candy."
After recalling her previous experience, she seemed less afraid of this place, and looked around curiously. In her knowledge, this place has also changed from a strange and gloomy corridor to the place where Dad worked.
Tang Xiao thought. Although this is a copy, it is also a real scene. So for someone who has worked here, does his item still work?
The hand grabbed towards the void, and a black briefcase appeared in his hand.
Story Items: Antidote Research Data.
But what she wants is not data. Tang Xiao opened the briefcase and took out a blue card. She had seen this card once in a convenience store, and it recorded the information of researcher Li An.
The customer service reminder in the information bar is still beating, and stubbornly believes that recharge is the best way to clear the customs.
【If you think the service is effective, please give five stars—】
The blue card was pasted on the sensor, and with a beep, the metal door opened to both sides. The prompt in the information bar also paused for two seconds as if shocked, and finally died.
Sure enough!
Tang Xiao ruthlessly closed the information bar and stepped into the door.
The inside and outside of the door are like two worlds. Inside is a spacious laboratory with bright lights and countless experimental instruments in operation. There are more than ten mechanical beds in the room, covered by a thin white cloth, and there is nothing on it.
Xiaohua seems to be afraid of these instruments and keeps hiding behind Tang Xiao. The two walked through the middle passage, and at the end of the room was a huge glass window that looked like an office.
When the last door opened, the scene in the office was presented to the two of them, and Tang Xiao paused.
In front of their workbench, a man stood. He rested his hands on the workbench, his tall body leaned slightly, revealing an indifferent and handsome profile.
After the quarrel he heard before, it was not difficult for Tang Xiao to guess the identity of the person in front of him.
"Are you Chu Chen?"
The author has something to say: The hostess: He also let me charge money?
System: Can this meow also pass the level?
