The truck entered the first checkpoint of Area F. Everyone was ordered to change into new clothes and brought to a room to be disinfected before changing into clean hospital gowns.
Ling Yun had been looking around since she came in. Shi Sheng followed the crowd absent-mindedly.
Ji Ang had disappeared the moment he entered. Area F was heavily guarded. All the passageways had an isolation device, and the patrols were even stricter than the previous one.
"There are rooms here. Choose your own." The man in uniform pointed to a row of rooms. "The men are here and the women are here. Don't cause trouble or you'll be in trouble."
There was a wall between the men and women. There was a door on the outside that separated the men and women. At the same time, it also locked them in.
"What is this place?" a man asked.
Even if this group of heartless people were not afraid, they were still a little uneasy after entering a completely unfamiliar environment. Each of them looked around.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just do what you're told." The man in uniform did not give them any face.
"F * ck!"
As soon as the criminal cursed, the armed soldiers behind the man in military uniform immediately pointed their black guns at the criminal.
The prisoner was speechless.
The man in uniform looked serious. "I'll give you an hour to familiarize yourself. You'll be staying here for half a month. Someone will tell you what you need to do during this time. Now, enter the room."
Shi Sheng was the first to enter the room. He chose the room closest to the door.
Ling Yun was the second. When Shi Sheng closed the door, he saw Ling Yun looking at him. She probably did not understand why Shi Sheng was here.
Shi Sheng's lips curled into a malicious smile before she slammed the door shut.
The room was not big. It was a single room with toiletries and a change of clothes. Shi Sheng turned around and found the surveillance camera. He turned it off immediately.
Almost at the same time, on the countless monitors somewhere, several screens simultaneously fell into darkness.
"How many are there this time?" Ji Ang stood at the door with his hands in his pockets and a half-lit cigarette dangling from his mouth.
"Colonel Ji, smoking is prohibited here." The person inside frowned and reminded him.
Ji Ang took half a step out of the room. The person inside the room twitched his mouth and answered Ji Ang's question. "There are three in total. Room 1, 7 and 11."
"Activate the backup surveillance." Ji Ang took a puff of his cigarette and blew out layers of smoke rings. "There's no need for room one."
"Colonel Ji, isn't this …"
"What is it?"
"Understood."
"Colonel Ji, there's a problem with the second line of defense." A soldier hurriedly ran over.
Ji Ang took one last puff of the cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt against the door frame of the room. Then, he left under the unsightly expressions of the people inside.
…
Shi Sheng and the others were locked up here. Those people only made them follow a schedule every day and exercise. They were not allowed to do anything. The food here was much better than outside.
There were three dishes, one soup, and dessert.
After that, a staff member in a white coat came in to draw their blood.
He could also move freely in the corridor outside his room.
There were a total of five female prisoners, and they were all in different cells. At first, they didn't have much to talk about, but after a few more interactions, they gradually became familiar with each other.
In order to get more information, Ling Yun didn't reject communicating with them. Shi Sheng was a little antisocial, or rather, a little arrogant. He stared at the door all day long.
During the exercise, she would hide as much as she could. Perhaps it was because she wasn't a qualified candidate, so the people in charge of them didn't care much about her. They let her slack off and looked at her as if she was a piece of trash.
The training ground was very big. Shi Sheng squatted in a corner and watched Ling Yun sweat.
"Colonel Ji, we've just patrolled this area. There's no problem."
"What happened last time will happen again. Your brains …" The man seemed to be laughing. Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Sheng heard a series of gasps.
She stood up with the help of the wall, stepped on the equipment and climbed up to look outside.
In the corridor outside, Ji Ang was walking with some people. There was a hint of a smile on his face. He was wearing a military uniform, but he looked like a gangster.
Shi Sheng knocked on the glass.
Ji Ang looked up first and looked straight into her eyes. The people around him looked over as well. They didn't have any reaction on their faces. They probably didn't think it was strange.
Ji Ang didn't stay for long. Soon, he left with his people.
"Sixteen, why are you standing up there? Come down!" The instructor stood below and glared at her.
Shi Sheng jumped down and looked at the instructor. "I'm just looking at the scenery. Do you have a problem with that?"
Her gaze was very calm, but the instructor felt his heart tremble. He frowned. "What scenery are you looking at? Go and run with weights. Don't think that I'm torturing you now. This is to let you live a little longer. When the time comes, you'll thank me."
"Not interested." Shi Sheng looked down. "I'm going back to sleep."
The instructor was speechless.
Anyway, the instructor couldn't be bothered to deal with people who were specially treated. He asked someone to send Shi Sheng back.
However, when the instructor dismissed everyone and did a headcount, he found that the person who said she was going back to sleep was not in the room. The alarm rang through the entire base.
…
Area F was pentagonal. Starting from where they came in, they belonged to the first line. Turning clockwise, they were divided into the second, third, fourth, and fifth lines. The first line had the lowest level of defense, while the third and fourth lines had the highest level of defense.
Shi Sheng saw a lot of things in the database of Area F, so he had a rough idea of what they were researching.
It was a substance from outer space. They found that this substance could slow down aging, increase lifespan, and even help people recover from serious injuries. However, it had many side effects and was very contagious.
It didn't mean that people would turn into zombies after being contagious, but the infected people would become very destructive in a very short period of time. The duration was one to three hours. After this time, the infected people would turn into a pool of blood.
As long as they came into contact with the substance on their bodies, they would be infected.
This was all the information in the database. As for whether there was more, he didn't know.
Shi Sheng also found Ji Ang's information. He was the highest executive colonel in Area F and was in charge of all the security and defense matters in Area F. He had full authority to deal with anything that didn't involve research.
Shi Sheng broke through the security and went all the way to Ji Ang's office without any obstruction.
Ji Ang wasn't in the office. The entire front line had been cordoned off because of her disappearance.
"Find her. She must still be in the first line. The second and fifth lines have been cordoned off. Don't let her go there." Ji Ang didn't expect that the seemingly quiet Kitten would cause such a big trouble in the blink of an eye.
"Yes."
Ji Ang waited for those people to leave. He reached out to open the door of the office. Before his foot landed on the door, he drew it back. He glanced around the office. After a while, he calmly went in and locked the door.
He turned on the light in the office and pulled down the blinds on the transparent glass. Then he took off his military uniform and threw it on the sofa. He walked to the coffee machine. The light elongated his shadow and formed a strange shape.
