Although when 77 asked about it, 76 told him that he was doing well in the isolation room. He told 77 who had been locked in the isolation room: "I will go back, just like you were locked up here.Same."

"We are all important." 76 looked at the researchers who were still looking towards him near the door, and emphasized to 77, "'Mom' will also hope that I can go back."

But whether it is 77 or 76, we all know that now is not the same as before.

In the past, because the researchers were confident that the experimental subjects in the isolation room could not harm themselves, they would only constantly test the bottom line of the experimental subjects in a place separated by glass, trying to provoke them, and determine the results based on their reactions.Whether this experimental body is aggressive towards the researcher is used to determine whether to destroy the experimental body.

But after the photos of Alyssa's body gradually spread in the hands of the researchers, the researchers unconsciously felt some fear of them.

No. 76 smelled the smell of deer blood coming from outside the glass. The moment his gaze moved over, the researcher carrying the keg subconsciously squeezed his hands tighter, took a step back, and moved closer to the gate.77 lowered his head and looked away.

"I think of the 22nd."

77 on the ceiling suddenly sighed.

She is a very beautiful deer with a gentle temper, completely different from many experimental subjects in the third district.

Probably part of her genes came from a kind of docile deer on Emperor Star, and her personality is not much different from that kind of deer.

In childhood, when most of the experimental subjects were keen to provoke other experimental subjects to quarrel through the glass, she was always the first one to ask them to stop.

She has a gentle personality, but she is naturally sympathetic to the weak, and is always friendly to people.

When she was still able to move freely outside, she often took the initiative to look for the newborn cubs, and then gently guided them to familiarize themselves with everything in the laboratory.

When she was not locked in the glass room, she often walked briskly in the corridor of the laboratory, followed by a few hatchlings that had just come out of the incubation room, looking back from time to timeAre there any hatchlings that haven't kept up.

In the beginning, she was one of the reasons why all the test subjects were able to spontaneously gather together.

——

In the early days, the experimental subjects didn't shy away from the concept of eating meat.

They knew very well that they were different from ordinary beasts, and what they got when they were fed were all processed meat pieces, and they didn't even know what they looked like when they were still alive.

Outside the laboratory is a forest, and there is a large herd of deer moving in this area, so the experimental subjects are often fed with venison.

77 used to love venison.

But just before he and 76 entered the glass room, the conflict between the first batch of experimental subjects and the researchers broke out completely, and one experimental subject attacked his caregiver.

The laboratory spent a lot of effort to appease the agitated researchers. After barely calming down the researchers' emotions, their eyes fell on the only unstable factor—that is, these experimental subjects.

22 who were "attacked" by the caregiver were punished, and after the beautiful but non-aggressive white deer was "punished", 77 who had not been locked in the glass room saw that they were disassembled and prepared to be made into specimensThe skeleton of the man, and the flesh and blood that was picked out in the small bucket next to it.

Several researchers looked at 77, a little puzzled: "Why is it standing here still?"

"Are you hungry?"

"I remember he likes venison?" A researcher seemed to remember something, grabbed a piece of flesh from the bucket, and shook it in his hand: "This is also venison, do you want to taste this?"

——

77 can hardly remember the details of that time, only remembering that he seemed to be lifted by the back of his neck with a hand, and the tip of his tail was dragged on the ground. Not far from him was No. 76 who was also grabbed.

"Why are they still here? Didn't they say that they will be sent to the third district today?" the researcher holding 76 and 77 asked suspiciously.

"Maybe I'm too busy today, so I haven't had time yet." Someone answered.

77 didn't listen to them, but turned his gaze around the corner, and when he saw him, Mendley subconsciously took a step back.

The researchers involved later died due to various "experimental accidents" over the years, but the subjects in the laboratory never touched venison again.

——

"The end of the partition in the ceiling is still a wall. If we find a way out, will there be a wall outside?" 77 asked 76 at the bottom.

"I don't know either." 76 has never seen it either.

"I went to the herbarium that 157 mentioned before today." 77 said, "I saw a lot of experimental subjects, 01, 02,..., 157..."

77 said: "When we can find the exit, I want to take them out to have a look."

77 thought for a while, but was a little uncertain: "Will they like it?"

76 told him: "It will definitely."

——

The recent conflicts between the researchers and the experimental subjects have been somewhat frequent.

Worries about their own safety made it difficult for them to show a good face when facing the experimental subjects. In the past few days, another small earthquake occurred, which made the researchers who were already feeling uneasy even more anxious.

They are very eager to do something now, to find out the truth about the deaths of Alyssa and 157, or to make some preparations before leaving this planet.

But Ian, who replaced Mendley, couldn't give an accurate word. He only told them to trust Mendley, but Mendley himself kept avoiding people.

Just like what several researchers said in private, they proposed to check the video before the death of 157 and Alyssa at this regular meeting.

But this time it was still rejected by Ian.

"Why did you refuse?" The researcher below sounded aggressive, "Sometimes the more you conceal it, the easier it is for us to guess whether there is any secret hidden here."

"You keep repeating that there are no accidents, but if there are no accidents, why can't you show us the video?"

One question after another left Ian speechless. In the end, he could only pat the table with a cold face and loudly silenced everyone.

The researcher who spoke up at the beginning seemed to shrug his shoulders helplessly, and said the last sentence: "So, what are you trying to hide about the cause of Alyssa's death?"

As if unintentionally, his eyes slipped past Ian, and finally paused when he passed by Claire. Seeing that his face was a little pale, he quickly put on a straight face trying to hide it.

Although this time, Ian rarely suppressed their request forcefully, but Ian knew in his heart that this was probably the last time, and once again he might have to obey everyone's opinions and respond to the request to release the video.

Ian was sitting alone in the office. He remembered that when he was with Mendry, Mendry had a small ecological box in the office of Emperor Star.

"They live in a glass enclosure, isolated from the world, and maintain balance in this glass enclosure, maintaining a relatively stable state."

"But..." Ian saw him open the lid and put a beetle in. "Isolation from the world also means a low ability to resist risks. Just a little pressure can easily cause the system to completely collapse."

In the next week, Ian saw that the original animals in the eco-box died, the plants withered, and only one beetle remained, lying there quietly.

Now, this man-made "ecological box" seems to have reached the point of complete collapse.

——

Although Ian did not agree to their request, it did not mean that the researchers would definitely obey.

After deliberately observing the behavior of the experimental subject, they began to realize that the experimental subject might be completely different from their previous cognition.

In the absence of Mendley, the threat of an active planet outside the lab and the subject itself made some researchers recoil.

A life of ease can easily become depraved, and after working in the lab for so long, they have earned a large amount of credits, enough to allow them to have a prosperous life after leaving the laboratory.

"We want to use those two starships to leave here. The two starships can barely carry all the researchers. Even if they can carry the experimental subjects, they pose a certain potential threat to everyone on the starship, soThese experimental subjects must have sufficient reasons to be kept here."

They tried to steal these two videos from the monitoring room to convince more people to side with them.

But in fact, everyone has their own ideas.

When some people tried to steal the video through some means, or persuaded a few people in the monitoring room, others couldn't stand the pressure anymore and decided to leave privately in the starship.

The warning of tampering with the starship rang throughout the laboratory in the middle of the night.

"Did you hear that?"

"They also left in a starship a few days ago." 35 knocked on the glass in front of him.

"They all seem to want to leave here?" An experimental subject looked in that direction.

"But there are only two starships." 35's vines continued to extend, and a smile appeared on the face behind the flower buds. Her voice sounded extremely happy, "Now there is only one left."

No. 35 tilted his head: "Then what should we do?"

——

The starship was involved in the departure of all the researchers, so when they heard the siren sound, after everyone woke up from their sleep, they all put on a piece of clothing and ran over.

Even Kathy, who was poisoned and still a little weak, rushed over.

He coughed and looked at the scene with a frown: "What's going on, there's another starship?"

His gaze swept over everyone present, and it was obvious that this starship simply couldn't accommodate all the rest of the people.

Kathy, who thought that a starship had just been driven away, looked even uglier.

At this moment, the door of the starship that stayed in place was suddenly opened, and several researchers who thought they had already left walked out from above with pale faces.

"You are still here, what about the starship?"

Kai Xi faintly had a bad premonition: "Where is the other starship?"

The lips of the person in front trembled: "No more..."

"What's missing?" Kathy repeated subconsciously.

"The other starship is gone..." The person who spoke had a crying expression on his face, "We can't leave here..."

"Isn't there another starship?" The crowd rioted for a while, then quickly quieted down, and finally someone stood up and asked.

"No fuel."

"The starship cannot leave."

They remembered the guess that Mendley said was absurd and denied, and their eyes swept over the faces of the people, and finally fell on Ian: "So this planet is really leaving the original galaxy?"

"So Mendley's gone?"

"Did he leave us just like that?" A person pinched his collar and asked.

"Mr. Mendley says he'll be back." If he can find the planet again.

And Kathy, who had been ignored for a long time, finally figured everything out, and he stepped forward quickly: "So Mendley deliberately let me be contaminated with the toxin of the experimental subject?"

Ian lowered his head: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be like this."

"What about us?" The group of researchers who were still trying to figure out the cause of the deaths of Alyssa and 157, and the rest of the researchers who were trying to keep Mendley a secret, felt like a joke now.

"Did you just let him go? Don't you want to leave here, don't you want to go back?" A researcher looked at Ian in disbelief, "Or, did you believe his nonsense?"

"But I owe Mr. Mendley my life." Ian finally bowed his head.

"I don't care how many lives you owe him, so we should just be left here to die?" The speaker punched him hard, then strode back.

"No one should have any objection to the death video of 157 and Alyssa now? In addition, now you can tell everything you know."

——

The position of 157 at that time was very coincidental, just facing a camera.

When they finally started to face up to the experimental subject's feelings and tried to analyze the anomalies in it, all the surrounding researchers witnessed the emotional changes in 157's eyes.

It has an astonishing richness of emotion.

And the other video is the same.

This did not make them feel the excitement of new discoveries, they just felt a little cold behind their backs.

When 157 raised his head and looked at Alyssa, he looked very human.

——

Compared with 157, the emotions of the other subjects seemed to be extraordinarily shallow and easy to understand.

33 is lively, 35 is gluttony, 77 is irritable and irritable... Even the way of expressing emotions seems to have never changed.

"but……"

Is there a possibility...

A researcher expressed his guess: "Are they actually the same as 157?"

"All the displayed characters and emotions are they deliberately displayed for us to see?"

After he finished speaking, he rubbed his arms, raised his head and glanced at the ceiling in a strange way.

Several experimental subjects on the ceiling partition blocked the opened small slit again and held their breath. After a while, they lifted the partition a little bit, and a few pairs of eyes pressed against the partition and passed through the black slit of no more than two millimeters.Look at the group of people below.

"They seem to be talking about us?" 77 blinked.

"I heard. They also mentioned me." Another experimental subject also spoke.

They listened for a while, and then one of the experimental subjects stretched: "It's almost feeding time, we should go too."

——

Because of the warning sound in the middle of the night, the researchers finally gathered for a plenary meeting. This meeting lasted for a long time. After watching two videos, it was six o'clock. According to the program set by the laboratory, the lightsLighted up on time.

After the analysis of 157 was over, a researcher saw Claire with her head bowed and silent.

"You seem to know something else, don't you?"

He looked at Claire with encouragement in his eyes: "What else do you know, tell me?"

"What is there to hide now?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Claire's lips move, and then he said, "She spoke."

"Who?" "She" subconsciously made them think of Alyssa, but it was unlikely.

"Experiment No. 157." Claire said with a pale face, "I heard her talking."

"It's the interstellar lingua franca."

There was a long silence in the conference room.

"Destroy it." Kathy, who had been silent all the way, suddenly said.

"There are still weapons in the arsenal, which are enough to deal with these experimental subjects." Kathy's face was gloomy.

Most of the researchers seemed a bit hesitant at this time. During these years in the laboratory, they had engraved the instinct of protecting the experimental subjects, and it was inevitable that they would feel a little heartbroken when they thought of destroying so many experimental subjects.

"It doesn't have to be all of them..."

"What if..." a researcher said hesitantly, "What if they are different from 157 and have no intention of attacking humans?"

After all, he has cultivated the experimental subjects with all his heart and soul for more than ten years, he subconsciously opened his mouth, thinking whether to keep some of them.

"Don't destroy them all, in case there are any pretending, can I feed you to them later?" There was a hint of sarcasm on Kathy's face, and he closed his mouth in satisfaction.

What's more, besides this, there is another more important thing.

"This planet is out of orbit, which means that we will no longer receive supplies from the Emperor Star."

But the food in the storage room is always rationed, and the daily food intake of the experimental subjects in the third area is about more than the three-day food intake of all of them.

"Maybe we can get other starships found here, maybe we can't wait."

"But before that, we have to survive on this planet."

And food is undoubtedly precious to these researchers who have no experience in wild life.

"So how do we destroy them."

"Go to the arsenal." Kathy was very straightforward. There were no drugs that could kill the subject in the laboratory, only drowsiness and anesthesia drugs.

The most suitable is naturally to use weapons.

However, when they arrived at the arsenal, they found that the arsenal had locked Mendley's authority, and even Kathy couldn't open it.

After trying to no avail, they finally had to give up.

"Can you hack into the system and open the door?" Kathy walked around a little irritatedly. Even if the experimental subjects were not destroyed, these weapons would play a great role in the future life in the jungle.

"Yes, but it will take some time."

"So we should consider putting the subjects to sleep first, and then we kill them ourselves?" a researcher tentatively asked.

"They may be very good at camouflage." Kathy frowned at this point, "Can you guarantee that they are really lethargic when their eyes are closed?"

"Who wants to go to the third district to fight after they fall asleep?"

The person who made the suggestion was dumb, and the people around looked at the others and silently lowered their heads.

The reason why they are here now is to leave here alive. At this time, naturally no one is willing to take risks, so they can only put it on hold.

"It's okay to leave them alone."

Kathy said: "There are two gates in the third district, and they can't get out."

His eyes were full of indifference: "If you don't get food, you will naturally starve to death."

——

On the other side, the subjects returned to the glass room punctually before the time for the researchers to feed.

They stayed where they were supposed to be, their eyes sweeping towards the door intentionally or unintentionally.

"Has the time been exceeded by an hour?" 77 raised his head and looked at the clock hanging in the corridor. The hour hand had moved forward by another frame, but the corridor outside was still very quiet. "It seems that 'Mom' hasn't come yet."

It was the first time since the establishment of the laboratory that the experimental subjects were late for feeding.
