Qi Lin and Lucas stayed in the laboratory for more than ten minutes, and after scooping up all the information they could gather, the two left the place quietly.

This time, both of them were dressed as researchers, and although the uniforms of the slain researchers were not able to wear, Lucas found a locker in the corner of the research room, in addition to clean clothes, shoes and socks, he also found some weapons for the researcher to use for self-defense.

Three HK MP7 submachine guns, more than 200 rounds of 4.6mm MP7 ammunition, and an FNP pistol with 4 or 5 caliber ACP rounds, as well as 30 spare rounds.

This bit of equipment is completely inadequate for the regular army, whether it is range, power or firepower continuity, but it is enough for researchers who stay in underground research institutes all year round and almost never go out.

If there is a situation that cannot be solved with these weapons, it will not help to equip the researchers with large-caliber assault rifles.

Qi Lin took two MP7s for himself, gave the remaining one and the FNP pistol to Lucas, and the two walked along the corridor all the way to the depths of the research institute.

On either side of the hallway were separate labs, but the people in these labs seemed to be obsessed with what they were doing, each airtight door closed tightly and no one else in the hallway.

According to the original design drawing, the length of this corridor was less than 180 meters, but now Qi Lin estimated that he had walked four or five hundred meters, but he still hadn't reached the end.

"Lucas, did you notice that we were going around in circles?"

"Circling?" Lucas was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully at the walls on both sides and the ground under his feet, and then showed a look of surprise: "This corridor is actually not straight?!" ”

In fact, as early as the beginning, Qi Lin had already noticed this phenomenon, this corridor that should have been straight on the design drawing, after turning the first right-angle bend, it became a spiral design similar to a spiral staircase, but the diameter of this circle was so large that it was difficult to perceive the arc of the corridor for a while, and it looked as if it was in a straight corridor.

It's just that if the corridor is straight, then with Qi Lin's eagle eye ability, he can definitely see the end of the corridor at a glance, but now, his vision is blocked by the curved wall.

"The entire underground research institute has probably been rebuilt, and the design drawings left from the old era have little reference value." Qi Lin said.

He roughly estimated the radius of this spiral arc, I am afraid that it must be thousands of meters, according to this calculation, the area of one layer alone is already several times that of the past.

Coupled with the area of the spiral overlap, I am afraid that the space occupied by this institute alone is already close to the entire underground shelter of Fort Yukon in the old days.

"Why did the mastermind expand this institute to this extent......" Qi Lin was a little puzzled, this is no longer as simple as expanding on the basis of the original shelter, just excavating new earthwork and transporting those earth and rocks to other places is a heavy project, the Fort Yukon Vault began construction ten years before the outbreak of nuclear war, and it was not completed until the penultimate year, and the amount of work of this new underground research institute is probably not less than the original Fort Yukon Underground Shelter.

Is it just for one Qin? But according to this calculation, the mastermind should have done something to Qin a few years ago, and it was impossible to delay it until the utopia plan was about to be launched, and then hurriedly find a way to solve this technical problem.

There must be other uses for this underground research institute, and there must be other purposes for the mastermind to build it.

"If that blueprint is useless, wouldn't we be blind now?" Lucas held the mp7 in his hand and looked at Qi Lin a little speechlessly.

"Think so...... However, if this institute is really a spiral structure, then at least there is no possibility of getting lost, because there is only one way, and that is the corridor we have now...... Hush! ”

Qi Lin was halfway through his words, and suddenly put his finger in front of his lips, and at the same time pointed to an airtight door not far away.

There is a subtle "buzzing" sound on the edge of the airtight door, which is the air pump balancing the air pressure inside and outside the door frame, which means that the people in the laboratory are opening the airtight door.

Qi Lin and Lucas immediately leaned against the sides of the door, Qi Lin pulled out a Gauss pistol with a silencer, while Lucas inserted the MP7 into his waist and took out two scalpels from Conrad's laboratory from the pockets of his white coat.

The MP7s allocated to the researchers for self-defense were not equipped with silencers, and Qi Lin and Lucas would never have used them until they were exposed.

The airtight door slowly opened, and a researcher dragged a black body bag out of it, and Lucas immediately strangled him by the neck, dragged him aside, and stabbed the scalpel into his throat, while Qi Lin swaggered into the lab.

This time, Qi Lin planned to leave a few alive and conduct a good interrogation.

The researchers in these laboratories seemed to be in groups of five, and the four people inside did not see the scene where the companion who went out was dragged away, and when they raised their heads, Qi Lin had already stepped over the door frame of the airtight door and walked to the front of the experimental table.

"What group are you from? You're in the wrong place, please get out immediately," a middle-aged researcher without a mask frowned, and at the same time his right hand reached into the pocket of his white coat and grasped the grip of the self-defense pistol.

It's a pity that he is just an ordinary person who is not even a first-level evolutionary, and before he could pull the pistol out of his pocket, Qi Lin had already quickly knocked out the other three people, and then stepped forward and pinched his wrist.

"Click"

His wrist bones had been easily crushed by Qi Lin's fingers like crispy biscuits, and before the researcher could let out that high-decibel scream, Lucas had dragged the corpse of the researcher who had opened the door inside, and closed the airtight door of the laboratory again.

"Shhh...... Yes...... Ahhhh......h You guys...... Yes...... Who are you? What are you going to do? The sharp pain and fear made the researcher's body tremble like a sieve, and Qi Lin silently snatched the pistol from his pocket, then grabbed a beaker on the side, smashed it on the test table, and then pinched one sharp broken glass against the other party's ear.

This is also the location of a large artery, but unlike the throat, if you cut it open, you will not die quickly because of the blood pouring into the trachea, but you can struggle for a long time, during which time you will feel the feeling of blood constantly draining from the body and death gradually coming.

"You...... What are you doing? The broken glass in Qi Lin's hand only cut a layer of skin, and even the blood beads had not yet ooze, and a pale yellow liquid with a foul smell had been dripping out of the researcher's trouser tube.

"Guess?" Qi Lin suddenly narrowed his eyes, patted his cheek with a smile, and then, lifted him up and slammed him on the experimental table.

In order to secure the subject, the bench was originally equipped with restraint straps, shackles, and the like, and with the help of these confinement equipment, the researcher finally experienced the feeling of being unable to move and being slaughtered.

"Don't ...... Don't kill me...... I will grant you any request you have...... Please, don't kill me......" The researcher cried and begged for mercy, he tried to struggle, but the Kevlar restraint was tightly snapped into each of his movable joints.

Qi Lin did not interrogate him directly, but put the black body bag on the laboratory table and unzipped the body bag.

Inside the bag is also the corpse of a clone of Ayakui, but the state of this corpse is already unsightly, the entire chest cavity has been cut open, no piece of the flesh on the body is intact, the skull has been removed, and the cranial cavity is stuffed with gauze soaked in blood.

The brain, which was supposed to be in the skull, was suspended in a glass jar on a lab bench filled with electrodes.

This glass jar can be said to be very familiar to Qi Lin, when he was in Anchorage, in the underground vault of the Federal Savings Bank, he also saw an identical glass jar, and that glass jar was a trap set for them by the mastermind.

Brain in a Jar......

The quality of this clone was obviously a little better than Conrad's one, and Qi Lin could even feel the powerful mental fluctuations inside through the glass jar...... Although it's not comparable to the main body, it's not a little stronger than the previous clone.

Qi Lin tried to send the Mind Beacon, but then he was strongly rejected by this brain, and the spiritual power of the two sides even went head-to-head, and it was precisely because of this collision that a large number of cracks appeared on the glass tank, and the life-sustaining liquid in it gushed out directly, and the brain of the clone shrank rapidly......

"No...... Don't ......" The researcher confined to the bench saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, and when he screamed in despair, he wanted to turn his head, but his neck, chin, and head were firmly fixed and he couldn't turn a single bit.

After losing the life support fluid, the clone's brain quickly became inactive, and the powerful mental fluctuations soon vanished, leaving nothing left of the liquid and the walnut-like brain at the bottom of the glass tank.

The lab was closer to the bottom of the lab than Conrad's, and the experiment they were conducting seemed to be more advanced than the one Conrad had done.

"What are you studying in this experiment?" Qi Lin sat down on the edge of the experimental table in one of the few places that was not wet, and asked the researcher on the experimental table.

"Measuring and testing the effect of mental power on preserving the body's self-consciousness after it has been substantiated...... That clone was one of the few individuals that was close to the original in terms of mental strength, but ...... But ......"

The researcher wanted to accuse Qi Lin of destroying a near-perfect test subject, but as soon as he thought that his life was still in the hands of the other party, he immediately dispelled this idea and obediently closed his mouth.

"Such a clone...... How many have you cultivated? ”

"Such a clone? You mean that the mental strength has reached ......"

"I mean the clone of this little girl, how many are there?" Qi Lin asked sharply.

"I ...... I haven't counted them, but there should be more than 3,000 clones in the breeding process in the breeding field alone, and there may be tens of thousands of embryos that have not been implanted with genetic sequences......"

"And where is her body?"

"It's supposed to be in the cloning factory, and the genetic sequence of the clone comes from the spinal cord of the body, and in order to make a clone that is as close to the body as possible, they have to collect enough data...... It hadn't been long since this girl had been delivered, and now we're all in ......a hurry," the researcher said with a slight stammer, his gaze cautiously sweeping over Qi Lin's body.

"Where's the clone factory?"

"In ...... ...... in 'Cylinder'"

"Cylinder?"

It took Qi Lin a minute to figure out what the "cylinder" in this researcher's mouth was The laboratory of this research institute is built with a spiral structure, and this structure will naturally leave a large cylindrical space in the middle, which is like a hole in the middle of a spring, and the cloning factory built by the main brain is "placed" in this cylinder.

"What about Qin? Where is he now? Don't tell me you don't know who Qin is. ”

"Qin ...... I know...... But I really don't know where he is now...... The privileges of us researchers are completely insufficient to access an experimental subject of Qin's level, even if it is a clone. The researcher replied.

"Very well, so the last question, how do I get to this cloning factory?"

"Walking down the spiral corridor to the fourth floor, there is a black, airtight door with a horizontal passage leading to the cloning factory...... It's just that multi-factor authentication is required to enter the clone factory, and you can't get in. 2k reading network
