Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 354 Unlock

This strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain requires me and Lu Su to cooperate with each other, with Lu Su as the vanguard, triggering the alarm system to attract people, and then I will sneak into the laboratory while the alarm is chaotic.During the discussion, Lu Su drew a simple and clear map of the underground structure of the entire research institute, which should have been given to him by his 'friend'.

After finalizing the plan, Lu Su was very active and enthusiastic, making it impossible to find faults. He seemed more concerned than me, and said, "It's not too late, let's act." Under his leadership, the two of us avoided some monitoring areas and detoured To the basement entrance.

There is a guard at the entrance, standing straight,

Lu Su quietly drew the Ghost Crying Knife from the back of his waist, motioned for me to retreat, and then rushed out.The man raised his gun very quickly, but Lu Su was faster than him. The moment he raised the gun, Guiku Dao slashed down obliquely. Before the man had time to aim and fire the gun, Lu Su had already slashed his neck. , the donated blood spurted out, and before he could even scream, he fell to the ground and died.Lu Su's face was smeared with hot blood, and he raised his sleeve to wipe it on his face. The expression on his face was still calm and smiling, and he winked at me, indicating the gun on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, I went down the entrance, picked up the gun, and hid back to the original place. Lu Su's figure quickly disappeared in the corridor leading to the underground.I was thinking about the time in my heart, and when I counted to No. 40 seconds, the alarm suddenly sounded like a frying pan, followed by a series of hurried footsteps and gunshots, and I vaguely heard someone shouting: "Don't let him run away!" gone."

Outside the entrance, there are three passages in total. I hid in the passage on the left, while Lu Su led people to the right according to the original plan. However, I also know that Lu Su is being chased by a group of gun-wielding men at the moment, and the situation is not in danger, so all actions must be completed as soon as possible.

The sound of footsteps and gunshots soon disappeared from me. At this time, I looked around and found that there was no one else at the entrance except for the fallen body.I hurried out and headed towards the underground entrance. The voice-activated lights all lit up amidst the chaotic sirens and gunshots, and everything around me could be seen clearly.

At the end of the stairs is a circular hall. There is a passage in front of the hall and on the left and right sides. The circular hall is full of invisible infrared sensing devices, but at this moment, these devices have already been induced by Lu Su. Alright, I'll just rush over right now, and no one else will be able to find out.

According to the map he gave me, the research room is on the passage right in front of it. Most people have been led out at this moment, and there should not be many people left in the basement. As for who are there, it depends. I'm lucky, if it's those gentle researchers, then it's my luck, if it's some skilled and ruthless people, then it's my own bad luck.

I didn't dare to delay, so I rushed through the alarm belt immediately, and ran down that passage. There are glass doors on both sides, and the blue curtain is drawn behind the door, and the situation inside can't be seen clearly. The effect is very strong, even if there are people inside, as long as they don't come out by themselves, they won't be able to find me. After a while, I stopped in front of an iron door, which is the entire basement. The only iron door is very heavy, and the switch is the warehouse The wheel switch used requires a lot of force to open it, and this kind of iron door is blast-proof and can withstand a lot of impact.

There are five blood-red characters written on the iron door: specimen storage room.

Time was running out, so I didn't think much about it. I held the wheel shaft with both hands and turned it in the opposite direction. While turning, I kept an eye on the situation in other laboratories, for fear that some researchers would suddenly appear at this time. Simply, the process went smoothly. , the moment I opened the iron door, there was a sudden sound of howling ghosts and wolves from the door. The moment I heard these sounds, I had goosebumps. When I glanced inside, I saw countless iron cages. Almost all of them were dying, but they were still struggling. It was really shocking.

I hurried in and closed the iron door again to avoid the howling of ghosts and wolves from disturbing the researchers in other laboratories. After all, the sound was too loud, and I questioned the sound insulation effect of the glass.

I didn't have a chance to look at this place until the iron gate was closed. My first impression was: it stinks.Very smelly.It was some human excrement, accompanied by the stench of rotting corpses, smelling it made my throat and stomach twitch.

Fortunately, there was no one else behind the iron gate.

The cries of the 'people' inside the iron cage suddenly subsided, and they stared straight at me. After a while, they became more commotion, and the cries were louder and louder.

"let me out……"

"Let us out..."

"Ah... ah, it hurts."

I didn't go to see them. In fact, these things were no longer human. I wasn't sure what the consequences would be if I let them out, so I didn't move those iron cages, but concentrated on looking for traces of tofu in them.

It took less than four or 10 minutes for the whole thing to happen, and they shouldn't have dealt with tofu so quickly.I found that the closer to the cage at the back, the better the preservation of the human body inside. The storage room was rectangular. Walking all the way down the iron cage, I suddenly caught a glimpse of blue, which was the color of tofu clothes.

I hurried to the iron cage and saw that it was not Tofu who was lying in it. The injury on his forehead should have been treated briefly. He was probably scared out of his wits by being locked up in such a place. When he saw me, It took me a while to call out my name, and then I shouted along with those around me: "Let me out."

I said: "Don't worry, I'll get you out right away." The iron cage was locked, but the key was nowhere. I looked at the thick lock and knew that I couldn't open it, and my blood flowed back for a while. .Tofu hurriedly said: "Inside...the key is inside." I took two steps in the direction he pointed, and saw a sleeping man wearing a gas mask lying on the table, with the key next to the table.

He was probably used to the howling sound of ghosts and wolves in the storage room, or he had made some soundproofing facilities for himself, so he slept soundly.There was an evil fire in my heart and I had no place to vent it. Seeing this situation, I immediately took out the gun, aimed at the man's head and buckled the machine board.

There is no need to talk about the law and conscience when dealing with these people.

There was a bang gunshot, followed by a burst of red, white and white things splashing out of the head. The moment the man died, his closed eyes widened, and there was no more sound.There was only one key. I took the key and opened the cage for Tofu. He quickly crawled out, his legs trembling, and said, "This, this place is not for people. Let's get out of here." My son hadn't slowed down yet, and he was almost unsteady. I supported him and ran out. Within two steps, Tofu suddenly stopped and said, "Wait, let them out too."

I was angry and helpless, and said: "Don't be kind at this time, these are not human beings, they are already dead." What I said caused the group of experimental 'messengers' to go crazy, and they cried louder than louder. The number echoes in the storage room.

"We are not dead."

"We are living..."

"Help, let us out..."

These people should all be innocent people brought in by this laboratory through some illegal means. It is indeed pitiful, but the boundary between the dead and the living is very clear. Looking at what Xiao Jing did later, you can think of these things As a result of being released, we may have to be torn apart as soon as the cage is opened.So even though the people in these cages were crying in pain, I was unmoved, and walked to the iron gate with the tofu, ready to open it.

Tofu suddenly reached out to stop me and said, "Give me the key."

I got angry and said, "What do you want to do again!"

Tofu stared at me, the gauze on his forehead was seeping blood, and said out of breath, "They are all innocent, they were all murdered like this, we can't let them go."

I said: "I only know that they are not human now."

Tofu shouted, "So what if you're not human!"

After listening to his words, I couldn't help feeling funny, what's wrong with being a human?Only Tofu can ask this question, so I said: "If you are not of my race, their hearts must be different. We are living people, and they are dead people. What do you think?"

Tofu pursed his lips, snatched the key from my hand, and ran towards the nearby iron cage. I was so shocked that my scalp exploded. At the very moment, I rushed over and crushed the tofu who was about to unlock the lock to the ground. , Now I am really angry, kindness is a good thing, but this kind of brainless kindness makes me want to strangle him, so I hold him down, restrain Tofu's neck, and say: "What do I say, you Just do it, if you dare to mess around again, from now on, we will part ways!"

What Feng Guishou said is correct, Tofu's character is not suitable for this circle, and the final result is either that he drags me down, or I kill him. I am just such a brother, and I can't go on like this.

Tofu was stunned when he heard the words, and said, "We parted ways...?"

I said, "Yes, part ways."

Tofu's eyes were red, he panted heavily, and said in a hoarse voice: "But... my neighbor told me that he will soon be able to raise enough money to operate on his paralyzed mother, and he wants to go home." Tofu said the neighbor, It was a man covered with corpses in the cage next to him.

I admit that I am a rather cruel person, and I am used to looking at problems from a realistic perspective, but I am not hard-hearted. When Tofu said this, I couldn’t feel uncomfortable. Then, he said; , I want to save them."

I said, "What about after you let them out?"

Tofu said: "I don't know, but I know, if I just go out like this, I will live a life of unreliability."

…………

………………

After a while, I got off Tofu, let go of the hand restraining his neck, and said, "Unlock it."
