Chapter 528 He Won’t Come to You on His Own
As usual at the Schroeder Pharmaceutical Factory, employees were leaving one after another at the end of the day.
What is different from usual is that the night watchman also packed up and went back today.
They have all been informed that extensive maintenance of some machines and equipment will be carried out tonight. Some machines that are not shut down usually stopped running today.
The weather outside is not very clear and a storm is coming. Looking up into the distance, you can see the black clouds on the horizon.
Therefore, employees who were already very active after get off work cleaned up even faster. After get off work, they have to make various arrangements in life, and then enjoy a wonderful night indoors, protected from the wind and rain.
When most of the people in the building left, a large truck carrying goods for maintenance drove into a small open space behind the Schroeder Pharmaceuticals building.
Usually loading and unloading trucks are parked here, and occasionally some small managers park their vehicles here.
It's getting darker.
The wind picked up.
The man wearing maintenance work clothes raised the brim of his hat and looked at the sky.
The dark clouds that were still on the horizon can already make them feel heavy.
"As soon as possible!"
Several people got out of the truck, and the tool boxes they held in their hands were not serious maintenance tools.
As they walked into the building, two employees happened to come out of the building.
The two men left the office late due to personal reasons.
"The wind is picking up, I heard there might be a thunderstorm tonight!"
"Didn't the weather experts say break this damn thunderstorm?"
"They said it was just a routine adjustment of the weather system. There would be no unusual weather and the impact would not be large. Weather weapons would not be used on such a 'small storm'."
"Oh 'little storm', it will cover the whole city later!"
The two of them walked towards the parking space as they talked, and saw several people in maintenance clothes walking over.
He wasn't the maintenance man they were familiar with, but they didn't care much.
When one of the maintenance workers saw the two employees, he moved his hand and was restrained by the person next to him.
The two parties were getting closer and closer. When the two company employees looked over, several maintenance workers smiled at them.
The eyes under the brim of the hat cannot be seen clearly, but the smile on the face should be considered polite?
The two employees smiled politely back, then walked towards the parking space without giving him any more glances.
The two employees didn't feel surprised when they saw the large truck parked outside. In the past, large trucks would be used to transport equipment during maintenance work at regular intervals.
Now all they wanted to do was drive home in their car. The storm was coming, and it had been forecast two days in advance. This storm would arrive in their city in the evening. They originally planned to go home before dark, but something delayed their time and they didn't know if it would rain on the way.
After the two employees left, the maintenance workers entered the building.
There was no one else around. The leader said to the person who just wanted to take action: "The employer said, finish the work first and minimize unnecessary trouble."
"Understood."
At the same time, it is underground that the employees don't know.
There is a well-equipped and large-scale secret research base here.
Schroeder summoned the researchers here and told everyone that the recent situation was not good, and investigators were likely to investigate here soon.
"Everyone is hibernating first. When it is safe, we will proceed to the next stage of work."
Saying apologetically, Schroeder took out some envelopes that he had prepared a long time ago, which contained documents and bank cards used to conceal his identity.
This is the remuneration and bonus agreed upon long ago.
Schroeder smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, the accounts are safe and no one will know."
Because they had already made preparations, the researchers were not too anxious after hearing Schroeder's words. On the contrary, they were all very happy after receiving their identity documents and remuneration.
Some of them came here smuggled in, and some of them had committed crimes and evaded police pursuit, and have been hiding here in Schroeder.
After Schroeder comforted the researchers, he walked to the cubicle and chatted with the director of the laboratory here.
"What about the latest experiment?" Schroeder asked.
"No, it won't work without a stabilizer. Several experimental subjects in the new phase of medication haven't persisted." The supervisor shook his head in disappointment.
Schroeder raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder: "Forget it, this stage is over, wait until we avoid the limelight, and then continue. By then, the stabilizer should also be developed."
The supervisor nodded: "Don't relax on the side of the tolerant individual, don't let others beat you to it! Also, don't forget the blood samples that you mentioned last time, which are of great research value! Obtaining precious research materials requires Greater initiative!”
The other party's tone made Schroeder dissatisfied, but he still answered patiently: "Of course I know! I will never forget these. Of course, I have to take the initiative to provide precious research materials. Can I still expect them to deliver them to my door?!"
The supervisor noticed the other party's unhappiness and no longer wanted to say this. Instead, he talked about another topic with great interest: "I heard that there was a research project decades ago, in which some of the experimental subjects who were artificially intervened were born with The appearance of aging, and then under the influence of drugs, age reversal occurs during growth. I don’t know if it is true.”
Schroeder's expression was very calm: "Yes, I have heard of it too."
Supervisor: "Alas, it's a pity. In addition to reversing age, the experimental project also includes other genetic trait modification and cloning experiments. However, it is said that a mysterious incident occurred and the subjects disappeared overnight. All those precious experimental subjects are gone!"
Schroeder: "..."
Why do you want to bring up this topic at this time? It's a bummer!
With no interest in continuing the conversation, Schroeder looked at the time on his watch, said a few perfunctory words, and was about to leave.
The supervisor wanted to talk to Schroeder about the experiment and was about to catch up.
Schroeder smiled, but his voice sank: "Please stop."
Seeing this, the supervisor had no choice but to stop.
Schroeder: "Good night, supervisor."
Supervisor: "Uh... good night."
The supervisor always felt that there was something wrong with Schroeder's smile just now, and he was about to catch up.
At this time, a door closed in front of him.
Schroeder kept leaving and operated the controller on his wrist.
Chemical gas was gushing out from where the supervisor and the researchers were.
Schroeder did not look back.
One after another, the safety doors closed behind him, isolating the deadly gases.
Schroeder looked indifferent.
Since he couldn't get satisfactory experimental results, there was no need for these people to exist.
He could find another researcher, but these people knew too much!
He didn't want the mad dogs of the joint investigation team to dig out information about him from these people.
So, it's better to shut them up.
Not only these people, but the entire building will be destroyed later.
When the people of the joint investigation team find out here, they won't find anything. They will just think it was a maintenance accident.
At this time, Schroeder received an anonymous message.
Although anonymous, he knew it was sent by that partner.
This is a reminder message.
It was also a convenience given to him by the investors behind them as they had agreed long ago.
With the increase in the number of personnel in the joint investigation team, the speed of the investigation will be faster and faster, and they are already investigating here.
But the action team assembled by the investigation team was attracted by a tanker truck full of chemical agents in the next city.
This is the time left for Schroeder to evacuate.
Schroeder smiled.
Time is enough.
The "maintenance workers" have come in and carried out a huge cargo box that Schroeder had prepared in advance.
The cargo box was well sealed, and the "maintenance workers" didn't know what was inside, and they didn't care that much.
The employer had already paid the deposit, and he would just have to wait until this matter was over and the balance was received.
Before Schroeder left, he had to go to his office.
Two private security guards were guarding the door of his office to prevent other people from breaking in and disturbing him.
One of the security guards had a heavy addiction to smoking, and he knew that smoking was allowed here, so he lit one. However, he did not relax his vigilance around him while smoking. If any other employees appeared, they would have to be cleared out.
In the office, Schroeder entered the secret room. He had to operate the main controller here and press the self-destruct countdown. Of course, it also left enough time for his side to evacuate.
He was not worried that the "maintenance workers" would run away with the goods first.
The exit for transporting goods requires a password for the door. If he was not there, even if those people could leave the building by themselves, it would be difficult for them to take the goods out in a short time.
After finishing the finishing work, Schroeder looked at everything here with some nostalgia.
It's not that he has deep feelings for this place, he just sighed, it takes a lot of effort to move to a new place. It costs a lot of time and money.
If he wasn't pressed too hard by the investigation team, he didn't want to give up this place.
But the investigation team investigated too quickly!
However, it can be seen from this incident that allies and investors will not give up on him for the time being. After this storm is over, they will still give support to let him regroup.
Taking a black briefcase, Schroeder left the secret room, thinking in his heart-
This time, we will find another place to hide. Of course, the research will not stop, but it needs to be more hidden.
Tolerant individuals still need to fight hard.
By the way, there is also the ancestor factory, the suspicious bodyguard, and Feng Yi. Get the blood sample first if you can. If the timing is better, you can catch the person...
Schroeder walked out of the office and was about to speak, but was shocked to find that the two security guards who were originally guarding the door were nowhere to be seen.
There was a half-smoked cigarette on the ground, which had not been extinguished.
Schroeder was alert instantly, and quickly retreated back to the office and locked the door.
He picked up his phone and called one of the security guards.
It rang for a long time before the call was connected.
But his personal security guard did not speak. No one even spoke.
There were some strange sounds.
It was not footsteps, but the sound of sand and stones being blown across the ground by the wind, or like a heavy object moving on the ground.
There seemed to be a long breath.
Someone, or something, approached the microphone.
Then it stopped abruptly.
The call was disconnected.
See you tomorrow
