Chapter 34:
She knew there must be a pit!
The prompt clearly states that you can pass the level by handing the three-point research data fragment to Chu Chen. It seems very simple and clear, but now that Chu Chen has disappeared, who is she going to give the research data to?
The system began to play dead again, Tang Xiao first temporarily wrote down the account and walked into the laboratory to check the situation inside.
Although there is no one, there are traces of random flipping on the cabinet, workbench, and even the laboratory bench. It doesn't look like the "masterpiece" the kitten left with its cat's paw last time, but artificial.
Dim the lights, and there are indeed many footprints on the ground. Judging from the footprints, about four or five men walked in, they not only took Chu Chen, but also in the laboratory I rummaged through, as if trying to find something.
While observing, she suddenly felt as if something was watching her. He raised his head sharply, and sure enough he caught a robotic arm that couldn't dodge.
There is a palm-sized circular display on the robotic arm, which is flashing red, and it looks like an eye is blinking awkwardly.
Tang Xiao remembers this robotic arm, when the kitten made a scene in the laboratory, Chu Chen once called it out and gave orders. Now that Chu Chen is not there, why did it appear on its own?
Or...she looked at the robotic arm with interest, "Do you have any clues for me?"
The number of flashes on the display of the robotic arm increased significantly. After a while, a synthetic mechanical voice sounded, "Dr. Chu was alive..."
Tang Xiao: "??"
Robot arm: "! Tomato means that part of the audio before Dr. Chu's departure has been saved, do you want to check it?"
"Your name is Tomato?" Tang Xiao looked at this strange intelligent product for two seconds, then nodded, "Check."
Robot: "Sorry, you don't have permission to view."
Tang Xiao: "…"
Then you want to talk to me?
It seems to be aware of the displeasure of the person in front of her, and the robotic arm frantically added, "According to the 136th case of the laboratory security provisions, during special periods, you can obtain temporary permission by mortgaged items of a certain value."
Tang Xiao: "Go ahead."
"So, you only need to pay for a part of the items that have been judged to have identity authentication value, and the tomatoes will temporarily keep them, and the tomatoes will give you a part of the viewing authority."
"That means I need something in exchange for audio, right?"
Tomato quickly replied: "Yes, this is the provisions of Article 136 of the laboratory security provisions."
"Oh." Tang Xiao smiled, "Then what do you think is better?"
“Everything that is judged as valuable by tomatoes can be used as collateral…”
Before he finished speaking, Tang Xiao took out something from his backpack, "Is this okay?"
"Yes."
The robot arm quickly gave the judgment result without even scanning.
Tang Xiao shook the flashlight in his hand, "You and your master really look alike."
The perfunctory is not obvious at all.
[Props: nuclear flashlight. Function: Lighting]
As the only supply before entering the battlefield, the props that have not played any role so far were finally generously sent out by Tang Xiao, "Don't give me back."
Tomato: "It's not fair to you."
Tang Xiao: "Tsk, don't be so rude, saving your master is the most important thing."
Tomato was a little moved: "You are such a good person, Tomato will tell the truth to the owner."
"In that case," the moment he put the flashlight on the robotic arm, Tang Xiao turned and stretched his hand back, "Then let me ask by the way, Article 135 of the security clause is what?"
Robot: "…"
"Article 134? Article 133?"
Robot: "…"
Tang Xiao nodded affirmatively: "The reason you took my things is very convincing, and it doesn't look like it was made up at all. Take it."
Tomato: "…Thank you, thank you."
The nuclear flashlight was taken away by the robotic arm, and the audio was finally released. After a transitional sound of electric current, Chu Chen's voice came out.
"You can't find anything you want with me, don't waste your time."
Immediately afterwards, a frantic man's voice sounded, "You bullshit! The antidote must be in this room, and it must have been hidden by researchers like you! Search for me! "
Another, younger voice shouted: "I can't find it!"
"Say, did you hide somewhere else!"
"In my opinion, don't waste time here. Let's take him back and torture him well. If you don't believe him, he won't tell!"
…
Following a loud bang, the audio ended with the sound of the door being closed.
[Ding, the player triggers the ultimate mission to rescue Chu Chen. 】
Research data can only play its best role when it's in his hands, please rescue him. 】
[Mission Objective: Rescue Chu Shen 0/1]
Tang Xiao: "…"
To say something is wrong, the core process is indeed expected, and digging holes everywhere is also in line with the consistent style of the Dogecoin system.
But to say it's okay, it's all too weird.
.
To say that Chu Chen is a normal NPC is like throwing her IQ on the ground.
Glancing at the robotic arm, it immediately changed from empty to flashing red, "I don't know when the master will come back, the tomatoes will always be here waiting for him."
“…”
Temporarily suppressing these useless thoughts about the current situation, Tang Xiao finally glanced at the room. From the messy traces that were turned over, it could be seen that those people were very impatient to find them, and they were in a hurry when they left.
Since the dungeon is the entire laboratory building, the place where they will take Chu Chen will certainly not be too far. After thinking for a while, she did not take the elevator directly, but walked along the corridor to the end, and she found that the map on the twelfth floor changed with the opening of this mission.
Originally, the entire corridor is fully enclosed, with only one exit from the elevator. But now there is an extra safe passage that can lead to any floor below.
Walking into the stairwell, there are indeed many messy footprints on the dust on the ground, leading to the inside.
Follow this road straight down, eleventh floor, tenth floor, ninth floor... Every time you pass through a floor, there will be some different sounds inside, through the locked door of the exit of this floor spread out. Squeezing Xiaohua's scared little hand, Tang Xiao didn't stop, and went all the way to the sixth floor.
And the footprints just disappeared at the exit of this layer of safe passage.
The door seems to be locked by a lock, but when you pull it lightly, you find that it is only hidden, which undoubtedly proves that it has just been opened. Tang Xiao took the pulse gun in his hand and opened the door first and walked in.
The layout of the corridor is still familiar, but it is obviously different from other floors in that there are traces of people moving here. There were cigarette butts that had just been extinguished on the ground, cans and toilet paper thrown away at will, and faint voices could be heard from the room at the end.
Before Tang Xiao walked in that direction, a man in an ill-fitting security uniform suddenly abducted from the room in front and confronted her.
Tang Xiao stretched out his hand: "Hi."
The man subconsciously raised the stick in his hand, "Zombie!"
The next second, the stick was easily taken away, and he realized that the person in front of him was not a zombie, but a living person.
—and she was a woman who didn’t seem to be aggressive, with a little girl.
He was stunned for a few seconds, from ignorance, accident, to ferocity, and then slowly to blatant greed, his despicable mind was fully displayed in his eyes.
Tang Xiao faced the man's wretched gaze, calmly raised the stick he just grabbed, and then gently broke it. With a crisp sound, the stick became two pieces.
She threw away one part, and held the remaining part with force, with the crackling sound of the current, half of the stick was twisted into a twist.
“…”
The wretched man's expression became solemn to the naked eye, "I didn't expect that there were still living people in the building. If you meet him, you are brothers. If you need any help, just say it."
"I don't need any help," she smiled, "I just want to ask, have you met a person with the surname Chu, who is about 1.87 meters tall, male, looks good The most important thing is that he was still on the twelfth floor about twenty minutes ago."
"If you see him, can you give him back to me before I do anything?"
