Chapter 260 Take you home

The night was as thick as ink, with dark clouds covering the moon, a cold wind howling, and the mountains intertwined with each other, like giant dragons crawling on the earth.

The coldness after nightfall is all-pervasive, like cold needles pricking the skin and bones.

"Click..."

The heavy mechanical legs stepped into the humus, crushing the fallen leaves on the ground, leaving a deep footprint, with some fine bones vaguely visible in the footprints.

This land is very fertile, but of course this fertility is based on countless deaths.

It's already three o'clock in the morning.

Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng drank two refreshing potions, saying that they did not need to rest tonight and would work hard to find the members of the Dragon City team.

During this period, the three of them came across several more corpses of members of the Lingdian Tavern and looted some valuable items. They agreed to go back and divide them up slowly.

While searching for one of the corpses, Hal suddenly said: "When you go back, give me some money too."

"How much does your robot cost?" Sun Lang was amused and asked him with a smile.

"After this incident is over, I want to walk around the planet and see what I need for travel." Hal replied, "It is not convenient to sell the things in the spacecraft."

"Okay, it's still a robot with a heart for exploration."

In the vast sea of ​​​​forests, time always passes quickly, and hours slip away quietly through the fingers like fine sand.

…

In Coral City in the distance, the entire city is still sleeping quietly.

The street lights on both sides of the road were dim, and patrol soldiers walked by listlessly. Occasionally, a few people yawned, counting the time when they could be replaced.

In the dark alley, the signboard of Lingdian Tavern is not very bright.

Underground, with Yi Yi's comfort, the members of the Beifeng Story Club temporarily gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

Su Xia doesn't need to pay attention here for the time being.

Throughout the night, he focused most of his energy on his father.

After dad left the pharmacy, he looked like a little old man taking a walk after a full meal. He walked slowly towards the south of the city under the night, with his hands behind his back and his back stooped, and walked into a very old factory building.

The old man did not act recklessly.

In order to rescue his eldest disciple, he had made a lot of preparations in Coral City over the years.

The interior of the factory was extremely dark. The surrounding windows had been smashed and valuables had been moved away. Layers of spider webs had formed in the corners, and weeds half as tall as a man had grown around.

After dad walked in, he entered a room marked "General Manager's Office" and closed the door gently.

"Snapped!"

He pressed the switch at the entrance to the room, as if he wanted to turn on the overhead lights.

However, after the switch was pressed, nothing happened and the room was still dark.

The father turned around again and pressed his rough palm against the back of the door. A red light suddenly flashed where the surface of his palm touched the back of the door. The whole office trembled. Cracks appeared on the floor and the surrounding walls, and began to slow down.

Descending slowly, like a super-large elevator.

In the past few years, my father has never told any of his disciples.

He actually has a secret base underground in an abandoned warehouse in the south of the city, like a superhero in a comic book.

"Buzz...buzz..."

The room slowly descended and continued to tremble. The sound of mechanical parts clenching could be heard all around, and long cold lights lit up on the surrounding cold walls.

After descending to the deepest point, the tremors stopped, and a huge and dark underground world appeared.

On the top of the base, the lights lit up from front to back, presenting this shocking underground base before Su Xia's eyes.

There are hundreds of screens, endless screens as far as the eye can see, and real-time monitoring content is played on each screen. Among them, there are actually monitoring images of the inside of the Machine Tribe base.

Is there an undercover agent within the Machine Clan?

This idea suddenly appeared in Su Xia's mind.

Dad walked forward. His skinny body looked like a small ant in front of the huge picture composed of countless screens, but his expression was indifferent, and his calm and unhurried look made him look like a god who controlled everything.

He stood in front of the console, brought up a small screen, and enlarged it. On the screen was the experimental subject labeled "19".

Seeing his eldest apprentice Gu An who had been transformed into a monster, a flash of emotion flashed in his father's cloudy eyes, but he did not act immediately and just watched quietly.

In this way, the time slowly came to five o'clock in the morning.

According to calculations, Mercer had already left Coral City, had been walking for more than seven hours, and was now on his way in the wilderness.

Even if he learned that there were changes in Coral City, he would not be able to rush back as soon as possible.

"What do you want dad to do?"

Through the perspective of the nanorobot, Su Xia observed silently.

In front of the console, Dad looked at the time and finally took action.

He called up a surveillance screen showing a human researcher wearing a white lab coat, and then pressed a blue button.

On the screen, the researcher was extracting a biological sample from a bug, but his hand holding the experimental equipment suddenly trembled, as if he had received some kind of instruction.

Then, he raised his head and looked at another researcher next to him, as if to confirm something.

Then, he gently put down the experimental equipment in his hand and walked towards the area where the twenty-seven mature experimental subjects were imprisoned.

In the underground base, mechanical creatures and human researchers were walking around. The experimental areas were complex and intertwined. A stream of data flashed on the light blue screen. This researcher's solo actions hardly attracted any attention.

"Ding--"

He swiped his ID card and successfully entered the area where Experimental Subject No. 19 Gu An was imprisoned.

Through the surveillance screen, it can be clearly seen that the position on his ID card is [Project Leader], and it seems that his status in the underground base is not low.

In this experimental area, the several human researchers responsible for paying attention to the life data of Experiment 19 said nothing. They just nodded slightly to him, tacitly understanding it, as if everything had been notified in advance.

"let's start."

One of the researchers controlled the instrument and injected a sleeping agent into No. 19's body to ensure that the transfer could proceed smoothly.

Another researcher controlled the robotic arm, and several robotic arms slowly came forward, grabbed his limbs and torso respectively, and slowly took him out of the mechanical container where he was imprisoned, and placed him in a transfer container.

The whole process was smooth and unexpectedly smooth, as if it had been rehearsed in advance.

Soon, the unconscious No. 19 was put into the transfer device car.

Around here, researchers in several other areas seemed not to have seen it, and they didn't even ask.

At this time, a patrolling mechanical creature passed by, with a blue light flashing on its face, and came over and asked: "What are you doing? Where are you sending Experimental Subject No. 19?"

"do a test."

The researcher with the identity card of the person in charge stepped forward to deal with it, his tone was stable, and he did not show any abnormality.

He pointed at No. 19 and said to this mechanical creature: "I suspect that he may still have residual consciousness, and problems may occur at critical moments, so I am preparing to conduct new tests on him."

"How to test?"

"In the Coral City Prison, there are several members of the resistance organization who I met before the 19th. I plan to ask him to identify them." The person in charge said unhurriedly, "The prison is already going through the process, and the system is

Can be found."

"Why don't you just bring those prisoners here?"

"This experimental area is very secret. Lord Mercer has warned that no one else should know about it."

"Okay, please pay attention to safety during transportation."

A blue light flashed in the eyes of this mechanical creature. When it heard the word "Mercer", it scanned the identity card of the person in charge again. Without asking any more questions, it turned around and left to patrol other areas.

After he left, the few lower-status researchers in the area looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people took the transfer device and slowly left the underground experimental area and walked towards the elevator.

Along the way, people greeted them from time to time.

"Why did you leave before it was time to get off work? And you took that big monster with you?" someone asked with a smile.

"I'm going to take a test and come back after I finish it."

They acted very relaxed, smiling and responding to everyone's greetings, but in fact they were extremely nervous, and everyone's body was tense.

If you want to reach the elevator, you have to pass two or three inspections.

"What is this for?"

The inspector came over and asked, looking very concerned.

But he winked at the person in charge, nodded slightly, and made small gestures to the other inspection personnel.

Everyone knew this well, pretended not to notice anything, and opened the passages one after another to let them pass.

The person in charge replied: "Get it out for other tests."

"Okay, please pay attention to safety during transportation."
