Chapter 240 Laboratory of the Initial Base
After hearing Bai So's words, Shadow's expression suddenly changed.
Then he carefully observed his surroundings.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and his tone became heavier.
"This is...the laboratory of the initial base!"
His words made Bai So immediately react.
He also glanced around carefully, and the scene in his memory overlapped with this place.
Lu Xiao and the driver looked confused.
The driver really didn't seem to know anything.
But Lu Xiao knew what the four words initial base meant.
At this moment, a burst of noisy conversation reached everyone's ears.
It was a foreign researcher who was not very fluent in Chinese and had an accent.
At this time, he was arguing with a researcher.
"Dr. Li! This experiment is really too crazy!"
"The ascension plan is just an idea of yours, and our preparations are far from complete!"
"It's just too risky to experiment now!"
It could be heard from his words that the person he was quarreling with was Dr. Li.
Lu Xiao looked over there, and he saw Dr. Li at a glance.
At this time, Dr. Li's temples were completely gray.
The lenses on his glasses seemed to be much thicker than the last time he saw them in the dream.
The corners of his eyes are full of crow’s feet.
Dr. Li's hands were in the pockets of his white coat.
His tone was extremely calm: "Dr. Hughes, do you think we still have time to make preparations now?"
"According to our original plan, the Ascension Project should conduct its first experiment ten years later."
"But... do you think we still have ten years left?"
As he spoke, his tone paused.
Then he looked at Lu Xiao.
He pushed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "We haven't even had half a year!"
After hearing Dr. Li's words, Hughes was silent for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
"But this experiment will put the four experimental targets this time in danger!"
"We can no longer afford such a price!"
"I can't imagine what kind of ending the four of them would end up in if something goes wrong in the experiment!"
"I can't even imagine whether we, who have lost hope, can persist for half a year!"
Dr. Li stopped and turned his head to take a deep look at Hughes.
After a long time, he spat out a sentence.
"But...I am their teammate!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiu Ens's body trembled.
The original blond hair on his head looked a bit withered at this time.
His condition is older than that of Dr. Li.
Wrinkles almost covered his cheeks.
The age spots on his face made him look like he no longer had the same spirit as before.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiao felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
He felt like his heart was congested.
It's as if blood has accumulated in the heart, and no matter how hard the heart beats, it can't send the blood out.
His hands and feet began to become cold.
At this time, he caught a glimpse of Shadow and Shiro out of the corner of his eye.
I saw that both of them had solemn expressions.
Lu Xiao looked at the driver next to him again.
I saw the driver looking around curiously.
His eyes jumped on the researchers, seeming to be looking for something.
At this time, Lu Xiao finally understood a truth.
Sometimes, not knowing may really be a kind of happiness.
He raised his hand, made a fist, and punched his heart hard.
It seemed like this behavior would make him feel better.
The quarrel was getting closer.
Dr. Li and Hunes are getting closer and closer to here.
When the two came to the four of them, Dr. Li's first words made Lu Xiao's eyes turn red.
"Are you ready to sacrifice?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiao glanced at the others in confusion.
Bai so his face was solemn.
Shadow's facial muscles were shaking.
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
On the side, Bai Sosu patted him on the shoulder, and then said to Dr. Li in a deep voice:
"We want to meet the captain and the others first!"
The captain he was talking about was Chen Fei.
After hearing what Bai So said, Dr. Li nodded slightly. He said calmly: "You have ten minutes."
Hearing this, Shadow and Bai looked at each other.
Then he greeted Lu Xiao and the driver to leave.
Several people spent the entire journey in silence.
Fortunately, the journey was not too far, and they arrived at their destination in just two minutes.
At this time, Lu Xiao's eyes trembled again.
In front of you are two nutrition tanks.
Among them were two naked men.
One of them is Chen Fei and the other is Zhang Chu.
At this time, there was a hole in Chen Fei's chest.
Through the hollow, you can see a mechanical heart inside.
To say it is a heart, it is better to say it is a machine that looks like a water pump.
Zhang Chu's condition on the other side wasn't very good either.
His body was in disrepair.
A small wooden sword was inserted deeply into his temple.
His eyes were closed tightly.
Lu Xiao reached out and touched his chest, and then asked Shadow with some confusion:
"Is this when you took out his heart?"
Shadow shook his head lightly and said nothing.
Bai Suosu on the side sighed and said:
"The captain's injury was caused by a sneak attack by a clan member while covering our evacuation."
"I saw with my own eyes that the clan member took out his heart and stuffed it into his mouth to eat."
As he spoke, his eyes were slightly red.
Then he pointed at Zhang Chu.
"This stinky Taoist priest relied on his fast running speed and wanted to bring back the captain's body."
"Then it became like this."
After listening to Bai Suosu's words, Lu Xiao nodded in understanding.
Then he took a deep breath and asked: "Do I have anything to do with this?"
Hearing this, Bai Suosu shook his head lightly.
"You don't exist in my memory, but there is a logical loophole in this memory."
As he said, he looked at Lu Xiao with a very deep look.
"In Liu Guang and I's memories."
"The stinky Taoist priest hadn't run a few steps with the captain on his back when his flying sword pierced his head."
"Later we found out that the weapons we used were made of the flesh of the evil god that the clan believed in."
"We both lost the memories that followed. If I'm not mistaken, we were ambushed at that time."
"When we woke up again, we were back at the base."
"We don't know how we got back."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the two teammates who were soaking in the nutrient tank.
He pointed at Chen Fei's chest and said in a heavy tone:
"The heart with serial number 05 was transplanted to the captain by Dr. Li later."
"But we don't know where the heart came from."
