Yan Yuan was born and raised at the base and spent his childhood and youth. He may have seen Chief Lin Xulin from afar, but before the transformation began, the two had no face-to-face encounters.

But this is Lin Xu's feeling for a moment. Looking closely, the person in the painting is only wearing a civilian uniform, and his face is much younger than Lin Xu's time, more like the state after genetic modification.

This is not a realistic painting.

"His name is Yan Yuan, and he's a doctor." Lin Xu frowned because of doubt and scrutiny, "I used to be in charge of my genetic modification work with another doctor. I said I was human because I was born with Humans, but later received deep-sea mutant genetic modification to grow fish tails.

"The last thing Yan Yuan wrote down was: 'There's... only the three of us are left. Tomorrow morning... I don't have breakfast, and leave on an empty stomach.'"

Yan Yuan's handwriting made it difficult for Lin Xu to identify. He had to try his best to guess his continuous strokes and omitted strokes, which caused a bit of lag in translation.

"On an empty stomach... Enter the culture chamber on an empty stomach?" Heinrich said. "They went in on their own initiative."

Lin Xu nodded solemnly, "I need to look at those documents again."

Heinrich handed over the part of the document bag that belonged to Yan Yuan to Lin Xu. The openings of these kraft paper bags were all sealed with sealing strips. Inside the box of the sealing strip was written "Do not unpack" in black on a white background.

Lin Xu used a knife to cut open the crease on the top of the paper bag, without breaking the sealing strip, and gently took out the paper in the bag.

The paper in this bag was extremely thick and was carefully bound. The title on the cover instantly grabbed Lin Xu's attention: "Zombie Gene Transformation Project".

The old base also had a similar plan. Just looking at the name Lin Xu, it can be inferred that the purpose of this project is to transfer the genes that maintain the immortality of zombies into the human gene chain, or, by encoding a segment of the human gene chain in the human gene chain. The harmful zombie gene makes the zombie unable to identify this kind of human, thus avoiding the active attack of the zombie.

But such experiments have never been successful.

The only reference case is Lin Xu, who was partially infected by a zombie virus in a natural state and acquired some zombie-like characteristics.

He read the name of the cover to Heinrich, but after he started to read the content, Lin Xu gradually became silent due to the complicated diagrams and huge amount of text in it, and he devoted himself to reading until he turned to the last page of the document.

A faded pale red seal was mercilessly stamped on this plan and experiment report that countless people had painstakingly put together.

"fail."

"The plan is terminated. The signatory: Yan Yuan, the head of the Xindong District Base." Lin Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint sigh, "After so many years, he has become the person in charge..."

But suddenly, the pale corpse in the training cabin of the base resurfaced.

Lin Xu closed his eyes, put away his wandering thoughts, and continued to tear down a document, "Deep-sea gene transplant plan... The experiment leaked, the plan was suspended, the signatory: Yan Yuan, head of the Xindong District Base."

Heinrich: "Are they repeating the experiments you did on you?"

"I was the first experimental subject, and the chief physician could not determine whether the gene transplantation technology could be realized, but at that time my own mutation showed the characteristics of gene fusion, so we decided to take a chance."

"you succeeded."

"Well, I succeeded. After that, the old base wanted to replicate this success, but the genes of normal adult experimental subjects could not be modified, and all attempts ended in failure. What is written in this document...the experimental subjects they chose It's also an ordinary volunteer, I don't know if it's successful. And the experiment leaked... who was it leaked to?"

"The one who blew up the old base?"

"Perhaps." Lin Xu couldn't make a rash assertion. He continued to look through the remaining document bags, all of which were plans and experimental projects that failed to be sealed. Then he dug out the paper products he found in another room. The manuscript full of codes belonged to a person named "Ye Shanshan". Lin Xu did not know her and could not read the content of the code. After preparation, it was handed over to Ika to decipher.

There was only one notebook in the room of the last "Wang Feng", neither a draft nor a diary. In terms of format, it was more like a work schedule. Lin Xu directly turned to the last page.

"April 5, 2089, work schedule:

1. Protect the last remaining Chief Yan and Chief Ye. completed

2. Confirm that the rest of the base personnel enter the connection cabin. completed

3. Close all non-essential energy valves, and attach an engineering drawing. completed

April 6, 2089, work schedule:

1. Tidy up the room, clean and sanitize, and clean up the appearance. completed

2. Escort Chief Yan and Chief Ye into the connecting cabin.

3. Enter the connection compartment. "

Wang Feng left the room and never returned. He didn't have the opportunity to mark the last two work arrangements as completed, and Yan Yuan's diary did not directly record what happened on April 6.

Lin Xu was stuck when translating the connection cabin for Heinrich, and he was not sure how to express this Chinese word.

Connect... connect what? Is it to bring something together to communicate? Or just put the human body in that weird green liquid and plug in four catheters?

In order to ensure rigor and not lead his thinking astray, he could only use the word "cabin" alone with Heinrich.

When Lin Xu fell into deep thought, a regular rumbling sound came from outside the ice layer, and the beam cut through the dark night and penetrated into the ice layer.

It's a searchlight.

Heinrich glanced at the ice sheet facing the outside, and used the machine to send out a positioning signal again: "Rescue arrived."

Lin Xu began to clean up the documents and notebooks on the floor, and finally stared at Heinrich's tail. He bit his lower lip, and quickly reached out and squeezed the root of the dragon's tail. When Heinrich looked over, he said sternly. : "Take it back quickly."

"Well." Heinrich nodded, turned around and continued to put the various instruments scattered on the ground into his bag.

The dragon's tail lingered behind him, secretly tickling Lin Xu's palm, it was cold, and it would itch when the scales scratched across the sensitive palm.
