Chapter 599 Chapter 596 Missing a Helper

Behind the walls is a factory, with steam-powered machines rumbling to life, accompanied by the hum and swish of conveyor belts and chains respectively. Not far away, there is a machine that continuously rotates the pressure rod and beats it repeatedly in the closed jar, making a tooth-aching crunching sound.

The execution puppet walks in the aisles between machines, reading the dashboards and checking the operating status of the machines. The rhythm of its actions is uniform, like another set of tightly operating machines. Occasionally, one or two human workers, wearing blue labor protection overalls and holding folders in their arms, quickly passed the execution puppet and hurried through the factory building to the office area.

Zhuang Xuteng further extended his sensing tentacles, and he saw a dozen humans having a meeting in the office area. Judging from their badges, they are all employees of the Scarlet Group, and their confidentiality levels range from C6 to D2. They gathered together and focused their attention on the C2 supervisor on the podium, listening to him explain the higher automation improvements to the execution of the puppet production line.

"The difficulty lies in standardization. At present, the production line cannot reduce the error to below the standard. Someone must supervise and inspect and intervene frequently. The error in the standard template will directly affect the subsequent assembly of the execution puppet..."

When more and more proper nouns were used in the production process, Zhuang Xuteng, who couldn't understand them at first, changed the direction of his sensing tentacles. Continuing deeper along the office area, in addition to various departments found in general factories, an all-weather operation room caught his attention. In the vision of the Shadow Eye, this room emits strong shadow energy fluctuations, which is not inferior to an enhanced person like Colonel Taft.

The room is closed and has no windows, but the sensing tentacles can penetrate through the exhaust fan. Inside are six rows of vertical metal tanks back to back, with a transparent tempered glass observation window on the front. A naked human body was soaked in the tank. The person was fixed with zip ties, wearing a mask similar to that used in public work sites on his head, and a dream fog machine in front of his eyes. Their respiratory and digestive systems are filled with liquid in the tank, and the liquid slowly circulates in and out of the tank through pipes.

There is a palm-sized status information display next to the can viewing window. Zhuang Xuteng originally thought that the identity information of the person inside would be displayed, such as his name, age, etc., but he didn't expect it to be completely missing. There are only cold numbers on the display, physical health status, nutrient solution circulation speed, brain wave activity, continuous use time and other simple information.

Zhuang Xuteng scanned around and found that the person with the longest continuous use had been in the jar for 312 days. Others who have a longer period also have more than 200 days. The shortest time was four days, and there was a young girl inside, who looked to be twenty years old at most.

Suddenly, a canister sounded a rapid siren, and the red lights in the room began to flash. The person in the jar who had been soaked in water for 279 consecutive days began to wake up. Her body was shaking, and her hands and feet were trying hard to break free from the restraints of the belt. Zhuang Xuteng wanted to help her, but apart from the display screen, the jar itself did not have an "emergency release" button. Several locks were connected to the electronic system, and there must be complex control devices. Zhuang Xuteng was not an intelligence officer, so there was really nothing he could do, and the sensing tentacles did not have the hard power to destroy the tank, so he was helpless.

The alarm sounded for less than half a minute before a man in a white coat walked in. It was a woman with an indifferent expression, wearing black communication projection glasses, and you could vaguely see many characters rolling down the surface of the glasses. She pushed the door open and came in. She calmly used the button on the wall at the door to turn off the alarm, and followed the light instructions to the tank where someone was struggling. She looked into the tank, her eyes devoid of warmth or sympathy. It was not like she was looking at a person struggling in the water, but just observing a malfunctioning object. Then, she looked away and stared at the display, pulled out the keyboard from underneath and started typing commands.

"Record the final time and status, and initiate the destruction process."

A syringe protruded from the top of the tank, inserted into the back of her neck from behind where the struggler could not see, and then injected a silver-white liquid. The person who was injected quickly rolled his eyes, his body twitched twice, and then lost his vitality and vitality.

The man in the white coat picked up the walkie-talkie, tuned to channel six, and said: "Replace the experimenter with the tank No. 27 in Area L. Repeat, No. 27 in Area L. Preliminary disinfection has been completed, the evacuation procedure is being executed, and time recording has begun."

"Report, there are currently no reserve experimenters, and the next batch will have to wait for at least a day and a half."

"Why?" The white coat finally had some emotional changes, and there was obviously anger in her voice.

"There was a problem with the high-intensity experiments of four groups, and all the experimenters in the five units died. The high-intensity experiments were stopped, and low-intensity supplementary experiments were conducted for one group, and all the reserves were used up. Just sent Four trucks came, and the experimenters loaded them all, but the truck is still there! We have to wait for them to go out to transport the next batch, and it will take more than a day. "

"The radical test method of the four groups is simply wrong, and they don't know how to correct it." Bai Daco said: "I have broken the production record here, and now the situation is getting better and better. There is not a single experimental subject? Give me a break Can’t you just come here alone?”

"You're just missing one here, it won't have much impact."

"Last time, I was short of two. I was made to wait for two days, and the experimental subjects were given to others first. What did you say last time? Did you promise that you wouldn't make me wait? Did you guarantee that I wouldn't be short here? People? Give me whoever you have! Otherwise, I will report it to you. I will wait and see what kind of comments you will get for this chaotic management style!"

"Okay, we don't have to do this. I'll keep my word. The convoy is still here. Let them send someone over."

"You want to put the driver in the tank?"

"I'll let their leader choose one. Those people are not good people. As long as they are given some benefits, they don't mind helping. Don't worry, I'll pay for it. But you have to remember this: I solved the problem for you."

"Got it. I'll continue to clean the tank and configure the nutrient solution according to the plan."

As the tank equipment continued to operate in an orderly manner, the nutrient solution inside was emptied, the pressure inside and outside was rebalanced, and the complex electronic lock mechanism began to operate. Before the hatch opened, several people in blue work clothes were waiting beside them. They then untied their belts, took the body down, and put it on a stretcher with wheels.

"Send it to the inspection room of Group 3 and tell the person on duty to follow the standard inspection process. I will review the report in person." The white coat said before leaving the room: "Complete the disinfection and cleaning as soon as possible. The next experimental subject is waiting."

Zhuang Xuteng wanted to continue to follow the white coat to see what the company was doing here, but his perception tentacles had reached their limit. The distance is indeed less than 2.5 kilometers, but the sensory tentacles first drilled through the small hole and then extended forward. This section of the small hole greatly consumed the sensory tentacles' ability range. Now that we know that there are machines and equipment behind the small hole, forming an excellent cover, Zhuang Xuteng can continue to dig.

The disintegration effect reappeared, and Zhuang Xuteng curled up and dug forward. When there were about 40 centimeters left at the wall, he stopped temporarily and changed the digging to drilling. He used the disintegration effect to draw a circle on the wall again, retaining the middle wall and using it as a door. Zhuang Xuteng controlled it with the power of the ghost tentacles and fingers, slowly pushed it out, and gently placed it on the ground, just forming a cover with the machinery and equipment. Next, he just needed to lie down and drill through the round hole to enter the factory.

Before thinking about what to do in, this hole at least ensures that the sensory tentacles can perform observation tasks without incurring additional consumption. He immediately released the sensory tentacles and stretched them into the distance. Before finding the white coat again, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance: Kelly.

A former girl from a car repair shop, and later a middle-level cadre of the Liying Gang, how come she is working for the Scarlet Group again? Logically, she should not be qualified to join the company, right? Oh, her uniform is obviously not that of a company employee. The logo on her chest is "Blue Wing Logistics Company", and the pass hanging around her neck clearly says "Outsourcing Temporary Pass".

She and the eleven people next to her are all from the logistics company, in other words, drivers of freight trucks. A burly man with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his hairy arms is talking to Kelly. Judging from the sound, he should be the one who just talked to the lady in the white coat.

"This is the thing, 5,000 euros, give me one of your people. You need to work, so choose someone with a strong body; you need to know the limits, so don't hire a fool." The hairy-armed man fiddled with his badge with his thumb, emphasizing the "Secret Level C2" part on it. "If everything goes well, this person can be returned to you in five or six days. If something goes wrong with him, it's his bad luck. However, I pay him well, and he might choose to stay after five days."

"How much is the pay?" asked a guy with a tattoo of the Liying Gang on his neck behind Kelly.

"Two hundred and fifty euros a day, fourteen hours of work, food and lodging, and you are not allowed to leave here during work, except that you must keep the content of the work confidential. If you get injured or sick, I will be responsible for your treatment."

"That's good. Sister Kelly, I want to try this job."

Kelly didn't turn around to pay attention to the idiot behind her, but kept frowning, staring at the hairy-armed man with a gloomy face, and protested to him with her eyes. But all she got was a contemptuous look and a calm smile of "I'll eat you". Faced with the reality that the hairy-armed man couldn't let go several times, Kelly had to bite her teeth and swallow the bitter fruit.

"Okay, since someone has volunteered, then you can stay." Kelly didn't turn around. She obviously didn't want to look at the young man in the eye, so as not to expose her true emotions. She stretched out her hand, at least to get the money.

"Here is 5,000 euros, I'll take the person away, and I'll teach him a lesson." The hairy-armed man slapped the money on Kelly's palm, and then motioned the bought person to go to the door behind him.

When the "rookie" passed by her, Kelly suddenly called him: "Wait!"

Kelly's behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the hairy-armed man. His eyebrows gradually stood up, and the shadow energy reaction in his body was getting stronger and stronger. Obviously, some kind of shadow device was accumulating energy.

"Leave the car keys and other things, I'll take them home for you." Kelly sighed. She knew that it was absolutely impossible to save the rookie today, so she could only try to minimize the loss. She put on a submissive smile and asked the hairy-armed man, "Can I bring my cell phone in?"

"Yes. Turn it off before entering. There will be a shield inside. Ordinary cell phones have many loopholes and will be detected as illegal items, which will cause you some trouble. Yes, turn it off and give it to me. I will return it to you when you finish your work and leave. The same goes for clothes. You must disinfect and change clothes after entering." The hairy-armed man waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't have anything else to do here. You can leave after waiting for the dispatch signal. Don't be late for delivery next time, and be safe on the road."

The hairy-armed man turned around and left, pushing the young man's back with his arm. The electric door marking the C-level security area opened in front of them. The young man walked in first, and the hairy-armed man followed him. At the moment the door closed, the hairy-armed man took out a stun gun from his trouser pocket and shot the man in front of him in the back.

"Ga ga ga ga... uh uh..." The young man made a vague sound from his throat, and fell to the ground with convulsions. After that, the hairy-armed man still did not release the trigger, and shocked the young man for a full ten seconds to ensure that the young man was completely unconscious. After that, he picked up the intercom and called two blue-clothed workers pushing a cart.

"Give him another shot of anesthesia, then strip him naked, rinse him, disinfect him, and send him to the third experimental group L area 27 tanks, where he is needed. Remember, don't give him to other groups, you must send this guy directly and accurately. If there are fewer people, I will use you two to make up for it, understand?"

The blue-clothed worker made a promise in a hurry. After working here for a long time, who doesn't know what will happen if you are sent to the nutrient tank? Half of this huge facility is making standardized execution puppet templates, and the other half is conducting experiments on human brain labor. Company managers here therefore have two more options for punishment: cut them up and make them into execution puppets, working forever; or put on a helmet and turn on the "infinite length" of dream fog to provide brain computing support for the company forever.

Zhuang Xuteng's perception tentacles are divided into two parts. One part is here with Kelly, searching for more information about her so that he can find her to understand the situation after going out. The other part follows the unconscious young man to see what he will encounter next.

The hairy-armed man left after explaining the work, leaving two blue work clothes to carry the unconscious young man. They worked together to lift him onto the transport vehicle, and one of them found a thin syringe from the sealed small box under the vehicle - this should be what the hairy-armed man said "add a shot of anesthesia".

Hey, it seems there is an opportunity! Zhuang Xuteng summoned a ghost servant, rushed over while the two were checking the needle, and got into the body of the young man. Wherever the needle was inserted, the servant would wrap that part to prevent the drug from spreading. After the needle was pulled out, the drug was pushed out, collected again from outside the body, and then poured into the sewer when the opportunity arose.

At the same time, he also transferred the damage from the young man to himself, giving him a chance to gradually wake up from the paralysis and coma caused by the electric shock. Of course, this step cannot be too fast, and it is best to control it before entering the test tank. Zhuang Xuteng hopes to use this young man to create some chaos, so that the company employees can reveal more things.

It would be best to trigger the security guard system here so that Zhuang Xuteng can see it clearly.

But before that, Zhuang Xuteng must first prepare the wall blocks so that he can close the tunnel and leave at any time.
