Chapter 1230 Researcher Dickens

Of course, the two divers also understood why Shi Lei did this. They found the ropes they had prepared before, tied Dickens up, and even took out a roll of tape to seal Dickens' mouth.

At this moment, Shi Lei had already changed into Dickens' clothes. Not to mention, they fit him quite well. He and Dickens had similar figures.

In the pocket of his white coat, Shi Lei found a mask. After putting it on, he asked, "Does this look like him?"

The two divers looked at each other and shook their heads together, saying, "It's barely okay when you lower your head from behind, but it's obvious from the front. Your hair color is completely different."

Shi Lei scratched his head and thought that there was really nothing he could do about it. He had neglected it before and hadn't considered this.

But what Shi Lei never expected was that Dickens suddenly struggled violently. He walked over and stepped directly on Dickens' face, intending to shut him up.

But Dickens did not give up struggling. He made a humming sound in his throat. Shi Lei hesitated for a moment, moved his feet away from Dickens' face, tore off the tape on his mouth, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I have a wig. My hair is fake. I was bald when I was young. You can put on my wig. It will look like a bald man."

Shi Lei was stunned and reached out to take off Dickens' wig. He saw that Dickens' head was mottled. It seemed that some disease caused the hair to fall off.

The two divers couldn't help laughing. This was really a bit funny. They just said that the hair color was different, and they found out that the other party was wearing a wig.

Shi Lei looked serious. He asked, "Are you suffering from palladium poisoning?"

Dickens nodded dejectedly and said, "I was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer. The doctor told me that I only had one year to live. So when this institute was recruiting people and offered a salary of 300,000 pounds a year, I signed up without hesitation. I just hope to work here for a year and leave the one million pounds to my wife and two children..."

As he spoke, a few tears flowed from the corners of Dickens' eyes.

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment and said, "If you have a chance to leave this island, go to Huaxia and find Qixuan Group. I will help you take care of your wife and children."

Dickens looked at Shi Lei in disbelief, with a little hope in his eyes, but soon, this hope disappeared. He shook his head and said, "My resistance is very poor. Among all the researchers, only I have symptoms of palladium poisoning, and no one else has. I guess I won't live for too long. Just now, because I felt very uncomfortable, I left the institute and wanted to walk by myself on the beach. I don't know why you came to this island, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to live to leave this island."

Shi Lei thought for a while, and then said, "Then you will give me the contact information of your wife and children later. Give them, and when I leave this island, I will set up a fund to ensure that your children can successfully finish college. However, all this is premised on you telling me everything in the laboratory without hiding anything. "

Dickens seemed a little unbelievable, but the two divers spoke: "This gentleman is a wealthy man who is kind and generous. He came here and spent more than 800,000 US dollars on equipment alone. The two of us are only responsible for sending him to the island and taking him away. Our reward is 100,000 US dollars. "

Hearing this offer, Dickens believed that Shi Lei really had such ability. He nodded, and without waiting for Shi Lei to ask, he began to introduce him to the details of the laboratory on the island and other situations he knew about the island.

Soon, Shi Lei had a new understanding of the current situation of the entire island, and also knew that because he was the main person in charge of this project, Xu Zhida lived in a separate room in the laboratory.

Shi Lei came here, of course, not to brave the Death Island like Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage, he just wanted to find Xu Zhida.

If Xu Zhida could be persuaded, Shi Lei and the two divers would not even have to return by the same route, but only need Xu Zhida to arrange for them to leave the island through an easier channel.

If everything goes well, Shi Lei can even take this poor Dickens with him.

The reason why Shi Lei did not dare to tell Dickens this is because he did not know whether he could persuade Xu Zhida. If Xu Zhida refused to repent, Shi Lei could only follow the two divers back by the same route.

And if that were the case, Shi Lei could only completely give up Xu Zhida, and even Shi Lei might kill Xu Zhida himself.

After having a new understanding of the island, Shi Lei left the cave again.

But this time, he did not have to deliberately hide his whereabouts. Wearing a white coat and Dickens' wig, he looked no different from Dickens.

On the way, he really met two guards. As soon as the two guards saw him, they greeted him, and one of them was ready to get closer to him.

Shi Lei was thinking about how to get rid of these two guys, but he didn't expect that the guard who approached him would immediately take a few steps back after seeing the ID card on his chest.

"Dickens, why are you running around again! You are so poisoned now, do you want to kill us?"

Shi Lei was stunned, and then he understood that Dickens had been seriously poisoned by palladium. This was of course because he had brain cancer and his resistance was extremely low. Therefore, almost everyone on this island knew about this, and those who knew almost nothing about palladium would naturally worry that this poisoning was contagious. They would not be willing to get too close to Dickens.

This gave Shi Lei the greatest convenience. Since the two guards were afraid of Dickens, when he entered the laboratory later, the guards at the door would definitely not want to bother too much about Shi Lei's identity.

Shi Lei lowered his voice and tried his best to imitate Dickens' tone: "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I came out for a walk."

It seemed that Dickens often came out for a walk. The two guards waved the muzzles of their guns and said, "Don't go too far." After that, they turned around and walked away quickly, as if they were afraid that they would be infected with palladium poisoning if they talked to Shi Lei for a few more words.

Shi Lei continued to walk towards the white laboratory.

When he arrived at the door, he swiped his card and entered smoothly. The two guards just nodded at him and did not try to check his identity.

After entering, according to Dickens' description, Shi Lei quickly determined where Xu Zhida lived.

However, in the corridor leading to Xu Zhida's residence, there were as many as four guards guarding. Shi Lei knew that even if he was pretending to be Dickens, he would not be allowed to pass. After all, Dickens was just the most insignificant researcher here. Those who could contact Xu Zhida had to be at least elite researchers.

Dickens told Shi Lei that most of their researchers also lived in this laboratory.

He walked upstairs and walked towards the dormitory area for researchers.

He successfully found Dickens' room. Although there were also two guards guarding the corridor, Shi Lei passed smoothly. The two did not doubt Shi Lei's identity at all.

After swiping his card to enter Dickens' room, Shi Lei let out a long breath and took off his mask.

Then, he began to think carefully about whether there were other routes from his room to Xu Zhida's room.

The intercom in his pocket rang, calling Dickens' name.

Shi Lei hesitated again and again, and pressed the call button: "I... I feel very uncomfortable..."
