Chapter 214 The first clues appear
After hearing Xu Qiu say that it was the smell of rotting soil and plants, Jiang Xiaoxiao pushed the door open completely and went in.
Several people stood at the entrance, stunned by the scene before them. Jiang Xiaoxiao was the first to ask, "Isn't this a research institute? Why are they planting flowers here?"
This room seemed to be two rooms connected together, about one hundred square meters in size. However, such a large space was only filled with wooden flower pots about two meters long, which probably contained the so-called flower soil.
When Kong Yu took a quick look, he thought he saw coffins.
After years of corrosion, the corners of the flowerpot have long been rotten and damaged, and the soil inside has flowed to the ground.
Han Zhu went forward to check, then put on gloves and grabbed a handful of soil from the flowerpot to examine it carefully.
Kong Yu also moved closer to check, and at this moment Xiao Hua, whose consciousness had been taken over by Kong Yu since entering the arena, suddenly woke up.
Kong Yu felt a little strange, but he didn't show it at all.
But fortunately, it knew its limits and didn't run out directly. Instead, it spoke to Kong Yu in its spiritual consciousness: "Little Fish, come closer."
The tone was hurried and mixed with excitement.
Upon hearing this, Kong Yu squatted down on the edge of the flowerpot, pretending to examine it carefully. He followed Han Zhu's example and grabbed a handful of soil to examine it carefully.
A slender and tender flower branch emerged from the empty cuff and broke apart as soon as it touched the soil.
"No, no!"
Xiaohua's voice sounded hurried and irritable. This was the first time she had such strong emotional fluctuations since she developed self-awareness.
"No, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
While Kong Yu was talking, healing energy flowed through his body. Perhaps it was because his tone of voice was calm and gentle, the slightly impatient Xiaohua quickly calmed down.
But her tone was still full of doubt: "This soil is not right, it shouldn't taste like this."
Kong Yu had an idea, and he used Xu Qiu's body as a cover to put a handful of soil into his space button. This time no one noticed his little action.
Kong Yu has always had a question. Xiao Hua said that she had been hiding in his superpower core since she became conscious, and only began to sprout and grow after his body's energy had completely caught up.
But going back to the very beginning, what exactly is Xiaohua? Where did she come from? And where did he, a atavistic person stranded in an orphanage, come from?
But right now, their every move is being watched by countless eyes in the Federation, and this is not the time to think about these things.
"I understand. This is not the place to talk. Please stay quiet and wait until we get out."
Xiaohua listens to Kongyu very much. To be honest, if she hadn't been awakened by something familiar just now, she would never have come out to cause trouble for Kongyu.
After all, Kong Yu had told her seriously before that the Federation did not yet have the ability to possess self-awareness and transform. If others discovered her unusualness, both of them would be captured and dissected for experiments. She had watched those experimental movies with Xiao Ba, and they were horrifying. She didn't want to become like that.
I didn't expect that such an unusual thing would happen in a military academy competition venue, so Kongyu became particularly serious in the subsequent search process.
"Was the soil here really used to grow flowers and plants before?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at one of the flower pots and asked in confusion. Xu Qiu replied casually, "If not flowers and plants, what else should I plant?"
"Of course flower pots are used to grow flowers, but a flower pot like this one here doesn't necessarily mean it's for growing flowers."
Although Han Zhu was initially misled by Xu Qiu's preconceived notions, he now changed his mind after some self-reflection.
"This is clearly an abandoned underground laboratory, and it's obvious that some kind of human or animal experiments are being conducted. It's not uncommon to see flowers here, but who would use a two-meter-long pot to grow flowers?
Kong Yu pointed at one of them and asked, "Don't you think this is just the right length to plant an adult?"
When Kong Yu asked this, Xu Qiu's eyes widened and he jumped away from the wooden flowerpot he had been observing for a long time. He originally wanted to take a closer look at what kind of wood it was and go back to collect some for his mother to plant flowers.
"Don't scare me, Kongyu. What do you mean by planting a human being?"
Xu Qiu looked at Han Zhu expectantly, trying to get him to refute, but Han Zhu spread his hands, looking as if he was right. Xu Qiu felt like the sky was falling and wailed in his heart again, is this competition really not aimed at him? What kind of perfect material is this for a midnight ghost story?
"Look carefully, is there any experimental records or something like that here?"
Xu Qiu was a little frightened and followed Han Zhu closely. In a place like this, a commander who mainly focuses on mental power would definitely notice the approach of ghosts before him.
None of them exposed his cowardly behavior. Jiang Xiaoxiao found some torn papers in the cabinet in the corner and could only barely make out the handwriting on them.
It was the same experimental record found before. Kong Yu took a look and said, "Just like the previous record, it's written by the same person."
"On December 15th, the experimental subject finally arrived. Under the leadership of Dr. Ming, we will complete the greatest research in human history."
"On December 18th, Subject No. 1 will awaken and begin the memory modification surgery. I will participate in the surgery as the doctor's assistant."
......
"On January 1st, the seeds are ripe. It's great! We've finally been waiting for this moment."
Although it is the handwriting of the same person, this record has a very obvious personal color, and it is more like this person's personal record. Sure enough, the signature is still experimenter No. 96.
As Han Zhu flipped through the papers, a small note slowly floated down from between them. "Tomorrow morning, go to the doctor's office on the third floor."
The doctor's office is on the third floor. This is very important information.
"Would you like to continue looking at other rooms?"
Now that they knew where the doctor's office was, Han Zhu asked them if they wanted to continue checking other rooms. Xu Qiu shook his head like a rattle. If possible, he didn't want to stay in such a place at all.
But Kong Yu thought that Xiaohua's reaction was enough to show that there was something very important here to her or him. If he left in such a hurry, he would never have the chance to come in again. He had to take advantage of the competition to check every place here.
"Let's stick to the original plan and read all the way through so as not to miss anything important."
Jiang Xiaoxiao also agreed with Kong Yu's opinion: "We should check them one by one, otherwise if something happens on the third floor, we might be completely in the dark."
Han Zhu also agreed with their ideas, and Xu Qiu's bitter face was naturally ignored.
However, he would be grateful for Kongyu's suggestion later. After all, if it was so easy for them to obtain the mission target, why would they set the location in such a place?
