Chapter 57 The Pyramid
The Second Research Institute is located in Blue Bridge City at the southern end of the Federation, which is the main production area of artificial intelligence technology in the country. They supply AI smart chips to all robot production lines. Therefore, it is also called the smart city.
When Ling Yi entered Blue Bridge City, he shivered.
The air here is much gloomier and colder than that of Baita City, and even the same sun on the horizon seems to have no heat, illuminating the earth drowsily.
The air is filled with the smell of steel, the roads are horizontal and vertical, and even neon billboards are rare, with no other colors except black, white and gray.
After looking at the energetic mercenaries in Baita City for a long time, when he saw the dead citizens here, he had the illusion of coming to another world in a trance.
"Representatives of Baker Machinery, welcome to Blue Bridge City."
A man with a particularly pale face was standing at the entrance to the city. This place will bring you good memories."
Herman took the pass with a dignified gesture, and said without changing his face: "Thank you."
Zero, who was sitting in the back seat of him, quietly pulled down his peaked cap and let the brim of his hat cover himself. s eyes. She wears a bionic mask of the other face, but according to An Ling, even eye contact could reveal her identity and she must be extra careful.
The gate at the city gate opened, and the Baker Group's motorcade was quickly released. They turned countless corners along the way, carefully confirming that they were not following. After finally reaching safety, the three figures got out of the car.
"Ho-" Herman exhaled, he was clearly nervous, and anxiously loosened the collar of his shirt.
In front of him stood two people with unfamiliar faces, a man and a woman, all of them were ordinary in appearance, and they would not look back when they fell into the crowd.
One is zero and the other is winter.
Herman held the girl's shoulder, "The goal of the convoy is too conspicuous. My people can only bring you into the city, and cannot get close to the research institute."
"It's winter, Zero's safety will be left to you. You must be extra careful in the future. Retreat immediately after the mission is successful, and I will wait nearby."
Herman told him time and time again, he was more nervous than he was going in himself, with a handsome face Serious: "It doesn't matter if it fails, I brought all the firepower and blew it up."
Zero: ...then it is estimated that the Federation will fry the pot overnight.
She comforted the man in front of her: "Relax, take it easy, we're not here to bomb, we're just here to be assassins."
Under Herman's reluctant gaze, Zero followed Dong has disappeared into the streets.
The high priest hid his beautiful face, and restrained his arrogant temperament. Wearing a large work uniform, he really disappeared, and even his walking posture was no different from that of ordinary people who have worked for many years.
Ling walked through the streets in his arms, lowered his head and dared not look around, playing a commoner couple.
There are constantly patrolling robots coming and going on the road, but Dong is worthy of being in the black and white all year round, and the hidden and hidden kung fu is perfect. He did not arouse anyone's alertness, and quietly avoided the patrol with Zero, and soon came to the vicinity of the Second Research Institute.
"We must enter the institute tonight. System maintenance will begin tomorrow, and all entrances and exits are prohibited."
Zero quietly probed, not far away there was an iron-gray building, like an angular pyramid. There are no barbed wire fences or robots patrolling around it, not even a camera. It's just like a mountain of iron.
She took a step subconsciously and was pulled back by Dong already.
"Be careful."
"What's wrong?"
"All the floor tiles are arranged according to the rules. If you step on the wrong one, it will fall."
He threw a stone. Blast the stone to pieces.
I got goosebumps all over: hiss -
harder than a surveillance camera.
At this time, I miss Dabao a little bit. With Anling there, any third eye from God's perspective has nothing to hide, and the defense system can be directly breached, not to mention these traps with established procedures.
Because they didn't have An Ling by their side, the difficulty of their invasion was much higher than that of the Third Research Institute.
"Fortunately, we don't need to go over there."
Dong already smiled, and his ordinary face was even dyed with a look of peerless elegance.
Before Zero could react, he bent down and picked her up. The two of them took advantage of the wind to fly into the sky, leaping across the square on nothingness.
This is the first time that Zero has been hugged to fly. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around the man's neck, but soon she realized that it was more like "floating" in the air than "flying".
Compared with riding on the head of a mechanical tyrannosaurus, or sitting on the big bird that An Ling turned into, being held by Dong already couldn't be more stable and comfortable.
They crossed the square of death in seconds, and came to the shadow of the iron-grey pyramid's feet.
Dongyi: "Fall down safely, my lady." Ling
stood firm and tapped his chest with his fist: "You are so soft." In
comparison, Mo Sanwu's chest muscles are as hard as a stone. Just a rock.
Dong already winked at her: "I still have softer parts on my body, do you want to touch it?"
Zero thought for a moment, "Okay."
Now Dong has been stunned. Fortunately, his bionic mask won't blush. : "It's a pity that
the time is not right." Zero: ... Don't you mean face?
The door is right in front of them, no more nonsense, they took out the researcher ID that they had prepared for a long time, and swiped the card to enter the iron pyramid.
The design of the Second Research Institute does not conform to ergonomics. Everywhere is spotless and white, which is very similar to the Third Research Institute.
But this pyramid is obviously more like a labyrinth, without the guidance of an internal map, people can only circle in circles.
Zero's nerves were highly tense, and she followed Dongyi closely, for fear that the laboratories on both sides of the corridor would suddenly open, and a bunch of people would pour out of it.
He saw her nervousness and quietly held Zero's hand.
"Don't worry, I sneaked in once, and I have figured out their schedule. At this time, all the researchers are conducting routine experiments, and they have their own laboratories in charge, so they won't walk around."
Zero suddenly thought of something: " You said before that you can hypnotize, and you also got my news from Lu Nan and Jesse before. The people here..."
Dong Ji didn't lift his eyelids: "These researchers are all devout Mechanicists. It's impossible to pry their mouths open. If we could hypnotize them, we wouldn't have to work so hard."
Zero didn't say anything more.
"Fortunately, I stole an ID card for an insider." He hung the ID card he had just opened the door on around her neck. The front of the plastic card read: Core Evolution Laboratory, and the reverse read: Researcher no.10284 .
Zero did not ask where the researcher went, but immediately rushed to the marked core intelligence laboratory with Dong already.
The rooms of the Second Research Institute are arranged in a honeycomb shape, and the laboratories on both sides of the corridor are almost identical in appearance, with only slight differences in the house numbers.
Moreover, an identity card can only open a specific door, and they must find it one by one.
Ling and Dong have already divided their work and cooperated, and her eyes quickly scanned the house numbers on the white walls: the chip editing room, the sequence creation room, the micro-intelligence room...
In the quiet corridor, there were only two people's slightly anxious footsteps.
Finally, after ascending another floor, she glanced at a door plate that read 'Core Evolution Laboratory'.
Zero suddenly stopped the car, lowered his voice and called, "I found it, here it is!"
Dong has rushed over immediately, he checked the words on the house number, and his face changed as soon as he put his hand on the doorknob, "Wait, there is someone inside!" Before
Zero could react, Dong already bent down and hugged her. Waist, and then his toes jumped up, and he used a special ability to open a gap in the originally flat ceiling. He closed his eyes subconsciously, and then all around his body fell into darkness.
Dong has taken her to hide in the maintenance tunnel in the ceiling.
In the dark and stuffy narrow space, Zero cast a suspicious look.
Dong already put a finger on her lips: "Shh."
Almost after they had been hiding for a few seconds, all the laboratory doors in the corridor suddenly opened, like a machine with a set time period, A group of people in white robes walked out numbly, lined up in a neat line, and set off in one direction.
The announcement of the mechanical sound looped in the corridor.
"It's lunch time now. Please go to the nearest cafeteria to eat."
"The lunch break is 30 minutes, during which time you are not allowed to stay in the experimental area."
"It is not allowed to take food out, waste food, or distribute food to Others." In the
dark inspection tunnel, Zero only felt puzzled.
It is more like a production factory than a research institute. Those researchers were almost like lathes if it weren't for the fact that they were still panting.
When everyone was gone and the corridor was quiet again, Dong had brought her back to the ground.
Zero took a deep breath and opened the laboratory door with his ID.
The iron door opened to both sides, but there was no bloody horror scene as she imagined in the room, there was only a blackboard of calculation data, several monitors, and a bunch of display cabinets.
Dong has quickly started a search on the computer. Seeing that he was fully committed, he didn't bother, and walked to the display cabinet alone.
The things inside are all kinds of strange, and some are full of life: a chipped metal watch, half-worn black leather shoes, badly oxidized silver bracelets. Some are bloody: eyes soaked in formalin, or some internal organs.
Zero pressed down the uncomfortable feeling in her heart, and continued to search for clues. Finally, she saw a brocade box in the display cabinet at the bottom.
There is only a small iron numbered plate lying in the brocade box.
Her eyes were struck by lightning.
Dong has also come over, a little strange: "What is this?" The
number plate is not big, and there are several raised numbers engraved on it: 011.
The font is the same as the two monsters in the desert, but the 011 in front of it is Brand new...and the rest of 003 to 010, who knows where.
Zero fist clenched: "This digital brand is the same as the Aberrant I met in the desert of Black Sand City."
Dong Ji looked down at her pale face: "So it makes sense."
"I am on the computer. I found the experimental data of their development of controllable aberrants, and these monsters are artificially created."
As we all know, aberrants are completely unconscious human beings who are only controlled by tyrannical instincts, except for the 'king' in the settlement. driven by anyone.
But in the final analysis they are also descended from human beings.
Zero thought of something, she looked at those watches, bracelets or shoes, and she felt horrified.
The lunch break was only thirty minutes, and they had to leave before the researchers returned. After collecting enough clues, the two quickly evacuated.
Zero swiped the card again to open the door, but after the iron door was opened to both sides, the corridor behind the door was not empty.
Two iron-gray guard robots are standing at the door, facing here, their faces without facial features flashing red.
Zero was almost scared to death the moment she faced the robot, her heart clenched violently, and she held her breath for a moment.
"In the face scan, there is no scan data..." Before it could sound the alarm, Dong, who was standing behind Zero, made a move.
The man's always beautiful face became extremely cold and glamorous. He waved his hand expressionlessly, and the head of the security robot in front of him was twisted off by an invisible hand.
The author has something to say:
