Chapter 178: The Dungeon (3rd Monthly Pass)
The people inside had all turned into zombies, and when they saw someone enter, they slowly got up and staggered towards the iron gate, it seemed that the underground air was too bad, and it also slowed down their mobility.
Of course, Zhang Shengli and Wang Decheng unceremoniously sent them on the road, and now this kind of thing doesn't need Liu Ye to do it himself.
At the end of the corridor is another staircase, and everything looks even more gloomy after going down, or it may be that the temperature underground is getting colder and the air is getting dirtier and dirtier, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. This level is still a dungeon, but there are no zombies in the dungeon anymore, and most of the cells are empty.
There is even some standing water on the ground, which may be water condensed by low temperatures, or water seeping from walls and other places.
I don't know where it is, every ten seconds or so, a drop of water will drip and smash into the puddle below, and the sound in the extremely silent underground world is very loud, making people feel creepy after hearing it.
Although Zhang Shengli and Wang Decheng have advanced to level 5, in this environment, they still have some inexplicable fear in their hearts, and they deliberately move closer to Liu Qian and Yinhe, so as not to even have time to rescue Liu Qian and Yinhe when some unexpected situations occur.
"Will there be a second mutant zombie with hallucinogenic abilities? Suddenly conjure up a female ghost in white or something to scare us? Or turn the three of you into ghosts together? Zhang Shengli shone his flashlight around, and then joked with the other three.
The other three looked at him together, but they didn't speak, obviously thinking that his joke was not very funny.
The corridors of this level of the dungeon seem to be particularly long. It took a few dozen meters to come to the end. There are no more stairs at the end. But in that cell at the end. There was a lab worker in a white lab coat locked up!
And he didn't turn into a zombie.
This cell looked a little different from the others, it was larger, had a separate bathroom, and there were many cans and bags of food and large bottles of drinking water stacked on the walls of the cell, but they all seemed to be empty.
Seeing everyone coming down, the white coat looked very shocked and frightened, and I don't know if it was pretended.
"There's a big living person here!" After Wang Decheng shone a flashlight inside, he turned around and said to the others a little strangely.
Liu Qian and Zhang Shengli also felt a little strange. It was a bit of a surprise to meet a big living person here. Especially Zhang Shengli, when he saw this white coat experimenter, his vigilance was particularly high, and he seemed to recall the scene when Zhang Shengnan and Hu Rong were killed.
The one who is locked up must not be a good person, right?
"Who are you? Why here? Zhang Shengli walked to the edge of the iron fence, shone a flashlight on the white coat and asked him.
"Who are you? Has the outside world returned to normal? The white coat covered his eyes and replied to Zhang Shengli.
"We're investigators, we're here to find out what's going on here." Zhang Shengli thought about it and made up a few sentences for the white coat.
"You're lying! The world has been destroyed, where are the investigators? And you're so young that you don't look like an investigator. The white coat adapted to the light of the flashlight slightly, saw Liu Gan and his party clearly, and hid back in the corner.
"Okay. We're just a bunch of survivors who stumbled here, don't you want us to rescue you? Or is there nothing that can be said to us? Wang Decheng glanced at Zhang Shengli. Took his words and asked a few words to the white coat.
"What's the point of getting me out of here? The whole world has been destroyed! The lab coat shook his head.
"Then why are you still alive?" Wang Decheng then asked the white coat.
The white coat refused to answer the question.
"You must now answer our questions! Who are you? What does your lab do? Why are you here? Zhang Shengli stepped forward again and questioned the white coat.
"If I don't answer, will you kill me?" The white coat asked Zhang Shengli back.
"Yes, I will not hesitate to kill you! Or slowly torture you to death! Because if you don't answer the question, it means that you have no value to us! The fire axe in Zhang Shengli's hand was sharpened on the iron fence, making a very penetrating sound.
Liu Qian saw that Zhang Shengli and Wang Decheng asked the white coat some questions he wanted to ask, so he didn't interrupt them, but just quietly observed the white coat's reaction. This underground expedition found a ten-tube plasma nanobot, which is a big gain, but Liu Qian is still a little dissatisfied, after all, he has found nothing so far.
I just don't know if I can put it on this white coat and ask what benefits I have.
"Alright then, I can answer your questions, but can you give me something to eat and drink?" The white coat thought for a long time and then replied to Zhang Shengli a few words.
"We can give you a small amount of cookies and water, and if you are willing to answer our questions well, we will give you more cookies and water." Wang Decheng replied to the white coat in a friendly tone, and it was obvious that he and Zhang Shengli were singing red face and white face.
"Will you give me a cigarette if I answer the question well?" The white coat asked Wang Decheng again.
"This can also be considered, but if you don't answer the questions well, you won't get anything." Wang Decheng glanced at Liu Qian and replied with a white coat.
"Well, I've decided to agree to your terms." The white coat nodded.
"Master Liu, come and ask." Zhang Shengli and Wang Decheng looked at Liu Qian together, the chores in front of them were to be done, and Liu Ye would naturally come out during the interrogation, otherwise they wouldn't know what to ask.
"First question, what research does your lab do?" Liu Qian stepped forward and asked the white coat.
Wang Decheng took a bag of biscuits from his body and opened it, took a piece in his hand, and then unscrewed half a bottle of mineral water.
"We are a secret branch of the Biochemical Intelligence Center of the Three Domains Company in the suburbs, conducting research on pharmaceuticals and nanorobots, and my department is specifically responsible for developing a new type of drug." The white coat looked at Liu Qian and replied slowly.
"What kind of potion are you studying?" Liu Qian then asked.
The white coat stopped squeaking, and his eyes looked at the biscuits and mineral water in Wang Decheng's hand, obviously wanting to get some food and drink before he was willing to continue. (To be continued......)
