In the dark underground research institute, the soldiers turned on all the flashlights, shining around, searching, surrounded by all kinds of research equipment, as well as large combinators and other tools, corpses were also everywhere, the death was tragic, I couldn't bear to look at it directly, the ground was basically stained red with blood, the blood stains were shocking, everyone who saw it had a numb scalp, and fortunately there was no evolutionary ape around.

"There's a door here." Someone shouted.

Everyone swept the tactical flashlight over, and found that there was a big iron gate along a passage, the iron door was locked, and they couldn't see the situation inside, Li Rui whispered to the fat man, Qin Rong and Lin Jing: "The three of you stay, remove the hard disk of the combinator and take it back." ”

"Understood." The three of them agreed in a knowing whisper.

Li Rui walked in the direction of the big iron gate, avoiding several corpses along the way, the corpses had been hollowed out and eaten by the evolution ape, and the head was also smashed and sucked, miserable, Li Rui quickly came to the big iron gate to take a look, the iron door was locked, the door was quiet, there was no sound, not sure if there were still living people, Li Rui immediately said to Liu Wu: "Blow the door open, everyone stand back and be vigilant, be careful that something comes out." ”

"Understood." Everyone responded in a deep voice, and retreated a little, looking for a place to hide, and the muzzle of the gun locked in the direction of the big iron gate, as if facing a great enemy.

Liu Wu tied the three laser grenades together, fixed them in the door lock position, and then cleverly tied the pull ring with a thin rope, after doing all this, Liu Wu quickly retreated a distance, pulled the pull ring, and continued to retreat to dodge, followed by a bang, the big iron door was shaken open, and it fell to the ground with a bang, revealing a passage.

The passage is very long, there is a light inside, everyone did not go in immediately, but waited patiently for a while, then searched forward, through the light to see clearly, there are rooms on both sides of the passage, the door of the room is not closed, everyone opened a door, and found that there was a person sitting inside, with his back against the Taipan chair motionless.

A soldier rushed up to check, the other party was dead, the cause of death was unknown, everyone continued to search other rooms, no one was found, no one was found, no thing was found, and no evolution ape was seen, Li Rui stood in the passage and observed the surroundings, there were about ten rooms, the rooms were not small, some were offices, some were laboratories and so on.

Liu Wu hurriedly ran over and whispered, "More than a dozen people were found in the other room, all of whom were already dead. ”

"Let's go, let's see." Li Rui said in a deep voice, under the leadership of Liu Wu, he came to the door of a room, the layout of the room looked like a conference room, and there were people sitting on the chairs, one by one, lying on the conference table, or leaning on the executive chair, or lying on the armrest, all motionless and lifeless.

Li Rui went up to check and found that these people did not have any wounds on their bodies, and they did not look like they were poisoned, and the cause of death was unknown, so he couldn't help but be curious, carefully distinguished, and faintly felt that these people died by not replenishing water for a long time, a person can not eat for a week, but he must not go without drinking water for a week, do these people know that they will die of thirst, so they simply sit together and wait for death?

"Why don't you open the door and get water?" Li Rui pondered suspiciously, while checking around, then walked out of the door to other rooms to check one by one, and unconsciously came to the door of a personal office, there was a person lying on the sofa, who looked to be about fifty, and was also dead.

The office is very large, it looks like the office of the person in charge, Li Rui walked into the room in surprise and checked carefully, but found no water, judging from the scene, it should be that the institute was taken down by the evolutionary ape, and these people blocked the big iron gate outside, and would rather die of thirst than go out and be eaten by the evolutionary ape by sucking the medulla and disemboweling.

Li Rui came to the desk to check and found a folder, opened it and saw that it was a piece of paper with a long paragraph written by hand, Li Rui picked it up and looked at it, his face gradually became solemn, until he handed the paper to Liu Wu who came with him after reading it all.

Liu Wu took it curiously, his face changed greatly, and he said in a deep voice: "These bastards! ”

"I didn't expect this to be the case." Li Rui said in a deep voice: "In addition to the developed evolution liquid, this head is actually an important condition for the evolution of the evolutionary ape, the evolutionary ape relies on absorbing the breath emitted by the stone to further change the physique, and has the effect of blood atavism, no wonder these evolutionary apes are similar to those apes in the primitive era, full of ferocity." ”

"No wonder the evolutionary ape was crazy to chase it out just now, and it really wanted to get this stone, according to this record, the more you absorb the breath of the stone, the higher the degree of atavism, no wonder some evolutionary apes are smaller, some are much larger, and the larger ones become the leaders, is the Asan clan already aware of this, so the troops come in to find the stone." Liu Wu said in a low voice.

"It's true that you say that, no wonder those evolutionary apes gave up fighting us last time, and all returned to hunt down the arms of the Ah San clan, they originally wanted to recapture this stone, but how did the Ah San clan know about this stone, and what did they want to take it back? Could it be that they are also engaged in animal evolutionary research and want to give some animals their ancestors? Li Rui said to himself, observing the surroundings.

"Brother, come and see." Xue Qi hurriedly ran over.

"What's wrong?" Li Rui asked in surprise and quickly left with Xue Jue.

Not long after, Xue Qi led Li Rui out of the big iron gate that had been bombed, returned to the hall outside, and then found a passage in the other direction, the two walked to the passage and took a look, and found that there were many rooms on both sides of the passage, which looked like prison cells, but the rooms had been violently destroyed, the room was empty, there was nothing, Xue Jue said in a deep voice: "I feel that this should be the residence of the evolutionary ape." ”

"With so many rooms, how many evolutionary apes do you need?" Li Rui said in a deep voice.

"I've got the brothers in the count." Xue Qi said in a low voice, his tone became heavy, and at this time, a brother hurriedly ran over, saluted and said, "After counting, there are almost three hundred traces of the life of the evolutionary apes here, but now there is not a single one in it." ”

"Three hundred?" Li Rui was taken aback, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, tell the brothers to continue to investigate, distinguish carefully, and see if you can find something useful." ”

"Yes." The messenger solemnly agreed, turned around and hurried away.

Li Rui waited for the other party to leave, and carefully distinguished the surrounding rooms, all of which were reinforced with steel, and large iron chains were discarded on the ground at will, and there was not a single corpse on the ground, obviously the evolutionary apes here had successfully escaped, except for those who were killed, where did the rest hide?
