Chapter 529: Destruction

The "Schroeder Pharmaceuticals" building, with its strange "eye" icon, looks uncomfortable during the day, and even more weird at night.

There are no entertainment venues in this area, and it is neither a downtown nor a residential area.

The building density is very low, and there is a long distance between factories and companies.

The ground parking spaces and green belts separate Schroeder Pharmaceuticals from other surrounding buildings.

Usually there are several guards walking back and forth here, and there are always lights on in some rooms. But today, it was announced that it would be inspected, so the guards were asked to leave, and most of the lights on the floors were turned off, making it extremely quiet. There were only gusts of wind blowing leaves, or the sound of other hanging objects and decorations.

Inside the building.

Schroeder hid in the office.

After failing to contact the security guard, he turned on the computer and used the management authority to retrieve the surveillance.

But he found that all the surveillance was ineffective!

It didn't look like a hacker attack, but more like a direct destruction! There was a problem in the monitoring room!

For tonight's operation, he stopped monitoring in some areas, but in order to be able to control the real-time dynamics of the entire evacuation operation, he kept some monitors in operation.

However, now, all surveillance is useless!

However, he can still view the images before the surveillance failed from his management end, which have not been deleted.

Quickly retrieve the surveillance video.

Schroeder stared at the computer screen.

In the picture, two guards stood at the door of his office, one of whom was smoking, but he was also alert.

Everything seemed normal.

Until the surveillance was suddenly disconnected.

Nothing can be seen, nothing is known.

Schroeder did not stay in the office, he retreated again and retreated to the secret room.

The door of the office is too fragile, or the door of the secret room is stronger.

Closing the door of the secret room, Schroeder calmed himself down.

Who is it?

Who wants to attack me at this time? !

The two people who disappeared were his personal security guards, who can be trusted, and will not turn against him without warning at this time.

People in the laboratory?

No, when he was distributing the remuneration in the laboratory just now, he had counted and confirmed that everyone was inside, without missing a single one.

Before those people in the laboratory lost consciousness, they might still be immersed in joy. In such a short time, it is impossible to check whether there are any problems with those IDs and accounts.

Of course, he will not spend his money on these abandoned people!

Excluding the security guards and the people in the laboratory, who else is there?

Could it be an investor behind him?

There are many investors behind him, each with their own thoughts. As the investigation team approaches, some want Schroeder to disappear from this world.

But if you count them carefully, those who can come here to do this at this time have chosen to help him stop the investigation team and delay time.

Moreover, even if the people in the investigation team come to check, it is difficult to find those investors from Schroeder.

With the shrewdness of those investors, there will be no evidence of threats.

Schroeder also has a little information in his hand, but he will not keep it in the company, let alone carry it with him. Those who want to take action will not threaten him in this way.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the person who took action tonight is a certain investor.

So, are they those "repairmen"?

Schroeder took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.

The other side answered quickly.

"Mr. Schroeder?" The voice on the other end of the phone was familiar to him, and he did not hear anything unusual.

Schroeder felt relieved, took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone:

"Bucks, are you still in the building?"

"Yes, we are waiting at the door of the freight channel. When will you come? The door needs a password." Bucks, disguised as a maintenance worker, urged.

"I have encountered some problems here, you send a few people to pick me up, paused, "Send more people, bring weapons!"

Bucks heard something.

"It's not a big problem, but this is different from what I said before, Mr. Schroeder."

"Double the reward!"

"Glad to serve!"

After the call, Schroeder hid in the secret room, waiting anxiously, waiting, but no one came.

Dial the phone again.

The previous scene was repeated.

The phone belonging to Bucks was answered, but no one answered.

Inexplicably, Schroeder felt that there was someone on the other end of the phone... or something else.

"Who are you? ! "Schroeder growled.

But there was no answer from the other end, and the call was hung up directly.

Schroeder listened to the busy tone on the phone, and felt even more uneasy.

Who is playing a trick on me?

Or...

Or is it the "unknown existence" he has been worried about?

Schroeder wanted to hide in this secret room forever, but he had already started the countdown for the destruction. It will explode here soon, and he can't stay here forever!

There are two sets of destruction devices, one is controlled by the intelligent program of the electric-driven central management system, and the other is non-electric-driven.

Even if no one is here, even if the power is completely cut off, it will still start when the time comes.

Schroeder picked up his mobile phone and found the number to contact his ally, Senator Eli.

As expected, the call could not be connected.

If you want to contact again, you have to wait until this storm is over.

Schroeder dialed a few more numbers, but was surprised to find that the mobile phone had no signal.

Not only that, the lights on went out instantly.

The power system seemed to be useless.

After the power is disconnected, some vents will close and others will open.

At this moment, here, I can feel the wind blowing in from outside the secret room, carrying heavy moisture.

No light coming from outside is visible.

The building's backup emergency power supply system also failed after holding on for a while.

The light from several electronic devices containing batteries seemed to be rapidly being eroded by moisture, hovering on the edge of failure.

The dense darkness gradually invaded this place.

The darkness and the increasingly humid air caused a wonderful catalytic reaction, making it thick and sticky, making people almost faint and suffocate.

Counting the time, Schroeder hesitated for a moment, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Even though there was no light, he was already very familiar with this place and could feel the place with his eyes closed.

Remove the rechargeable emergency light from a cabinet.

Open the black suitcase you carry with you.

There is a potion in it. It was a drug developed based on the fragments of "god genes" he obtained.

Without stabilizers, there will still be strong side effects. But at the moment, this is the best option.

He needs to escape from here as soon as possible, but he is already old. Although he has relied on drugs over the years to make him healthier and stronger than his peers, his skills are certainly not as good as those of young people, let alone those who are well-trained.

This potion has been improved from generation to generation, and now, this is the one in my hand.

During the experiment, it was not successfully used on experimental subjects, so Schroeder never tried it on himself. Just keep a latest potion with you, just in case. He won't use it unless necessary.

But now, it is a must.

Take out the medicine and install the injection head.

He only injected a third of a tube of medicine into himself.

If they were all injected, he would be as certain to die as those experimental subjects. All the experimental subjects before have failed.

At one-third of the dosage, the survival rate is still relatively high, and at the same time, it can strengthen his physique in a short period of time.

The effects of the medicine begin to take effect quickly.

Ben's rapid breathing due to nervousness and anxiety calmed down.

Tired muscles are rapidly recharging their energy.

He could hear the strong beating of his heart.

Every breath injects new energy into this aging body.

It's like the dry trunk has sprouted new shoots, and the new shoots have grown into branches and leaves.

Intoxicating vitality!

Schroeder opened his eyes.

The rechargeable emergency light next to it cannot illuminate the entire room, and the light in those corners is very dim.

He couldn't see clearly, but he "seeed" it more clearly.

The senses are in a very wonderful state.

What you see, what you hear, what you smell, what you touch are based on past and better perceptions, and it seems that you have touched a deeper level of the material world.

In addition, he seemed to feel that there were some invisible substances in the air, which made him afraid!

Schroeder calmed down.

No matter what it was that was teasing him or threatening him, he couldn't rush now.

Grab your gun, take out your night vision goggles and put them on.

Then take it off again.

After injecting the drug, the five senses are enhanced, and wearing night vision devices actually causes interference.

In addition to leading to the office, this secret room also has another passage leading to the laboratory.

But he intuitively felt that it was more dangerous over there.

That "unknown existence" is there right now!

Schroeder decisively came to the office from the secret room and walked out of the office door.

The wind was blowing.

The cigarette butts fell to the ground, and the red flame flickered.

Inexplicably, he felt an elusive gaze.

It seems very close, but also seems extremely far away.

It seems to be within reach, and it seems to exist in the void of another dimension.

[At that moment, I felt God’s gaze]

The sentence the teacher once wrote flashed through Schroeder's mind.

Schroeder shook his lips.

god?

I don't believe it!

Although anxious and anxious, Schroeder has experienced a lot after all. His temperament is extraordinary and he is still able to deal with it rationally.

Until he turned a corner and saw the big cargo box.

A familiar cargo box.

He personally packed the most precious research material, the core of the entire research project—the mutated Welwitschia tree into this cargo box.

This cargo box should have been carried to the exit of the passage by the "maintenance workers".

But at this moment, it appeared inside the building, still a long way from the freight channel, and located in the key clearance area!

Schroeder's mentality almost collapsed!

That means he can't get it out of the building tonight!

Calculate the time in your mind and make quick choices.

He stopped looking at the cargo box and ran faster toward the nearest freight exit.

At this time, his greatly enhanced perception told him that there was no one there.

There are no "maintenance workers", no guards, and no "unknown beings".

The self-destruction system of the underground research base will not stop due to power outage.

The time to escape is still shortening.

Schroeder had already seen the freight exit door.

It no longer mattered whether he could take away the Welwitschia orchid. He just wanted to escape by himself now!

As long as you escape, there will be plenty of opportunities to come back!

Without this precious experimental material, he can still look for the next one. For example, that suspicious bodyguard, such as Feng Yi who may have used drugs from the Ancestor Factory...

He can also gather more power to unearth the secrets behind the Ancestor Factory...

The premise of all this is to escape and survive!

The freight channel has no window large enough for people to pass through, only a door.

Even if the power of the door is disconnected, there is a box door controlled by a mechanical password lock next to it. There is a safety switch inside. After pressing it, the door will remain open when the power is off.

Schroeder rushed over and immediately opened the box door and flipped the switch.

But, the door can't be opened!

Someone forcibly destroyed the device of the channel door, and the door just moved and got stuck!

If it was according to the original plan, he would have left the city by now!

This building, along with the unknown laboratories under the ground, will soon be destroyed in an explosion and fire!

Even if the heavy rain puts out the fire, everything that should be destroyed has been destroyed, those experiments that cannot be made public, various equipment and "consumables", and those experimenters with questionable identities will also disappear here!

But!

All plans do not include that he is trapped here too!

Schroeder's face is hideous and distorted, and he is in an embarrassed posture that he has never had before.

Dense beads of sweat appear on his forehead.

The side effects of the drug are beginning to appear.

His eyes were bloodshot, blood oozed from his ears, nostrils and mouth, and his breathing began to quicken.

He had always known that the human body could not bear the genes of a "god".

But he had not expected that the side effects would come so quickly and so violently!

His muscles began to twitch uncontrollably, his blood seemed to be devoured, his perception became dull, and his vision became blurred.

Like being bitten by a poisonous snake, he was rapidly losing control of his body!

Schroeder listened to the time on his mechanical watch.

"Ah--"

He let out a long howl full of reluctance, resentment, and fear.

Boom!

The sound of the explosion sounded at night.

The building collapsed.

Flames appeared in many parts of the factory area, quickly connected into one piece, and burned on the ruins.

Fortunately, the place where Schroeder was located did not suffer the strongest explosion impact, nor did it collapse completely.

He was seriously injured. Perhaps the stimulating effect of the drug was still there. At this moment, he was still conscious, but he knew very well that the self-destruction program was not only explosions. These flames would soon come here and burn everything here, including himself.

When he designed the destruction device, he never thought that it would come back to him!

Schroeder, who was injected with the drug, became confused and seemed extremely dull. It seemed that at some point, his consciousness passed through the ruins and saw a figure standing in the firelight.

Tall, looked very strong, wearing a stand-up collar robe, with a mask covering his face...

At the same time, two cars were on the way to Schroeder Pharmaceuticals.

Team leader Yuan was also in one of the cars.

Although it was a feint, the investigation team soon realized that something was wrong, and at the same time, they could not contact the person responsible for monitoring this side.

"Have you contacted the people who were following Schroeder Pharmaceuticals?"

"Just contacted, they were transferred by a phone call!"

"It must be here!"

Although Schroeder Pharmaceuticals had been checked before, no evidence was found, and no effective clues were found, but suspicion was still not completely ruled out.

They had sent people to watch all the suspected targets, and there had been no problems before, until tonight.

Two cars were rushing over quickly.

It's almost there!

It's coming soon!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang and explosion accompanied by fire at the location of Schroeder Pharmaceuticals.

The people in the two cars were shocked and angry, which meant that the target might have abandoned this place and escaped!

The car continued to go over there.

Even if it exploded, maybe there were still some clues left? We must rush there as soon as possible, and we can leave more clues if we are one step faster!

We haven't arrived yet, but it is very conspicuous. The members of the investigation team have seen the Schroeder Pharmaceuticals, which is in a mess and full of flames.

The wind around them started to change at some point.

The air rushed in frantically.

The thick smoke caused by the explosion and burning swirled with the airflow.

The things on the ground seemed to be pulled upwards by an invisible force.

The area covered by the flames formed a large flame that stretched upwards.

The flames quickly "grew" and twisted into a fire funnel.

Then, a fire dragon roared into the sky.

The members of the investigation team were forced to stop.

"Fire tornado!"

Goo, late
