Gene Game

93 The Longest Climb (2)

The elevator stopped, and Liu Yi was surprised. Really bad? My mouth is not so effective.

    Lu Fei held his hand for the first time in the darkness. Having had the experience of the day before, they were not nervous, and Liu Yi gently hugged her. Even if they can't see it, the two of them will not recognize the wrong person.

    "Why is it broken again?" Natasha murmured, "It's been many times in the last two months. It's time to repair the circuit when I have time. Midas," she cried, "Report the failure."

    A voice that sounded like Qin Shiwu sounded: [VIP channel power failure. Information flow detection, Alpha 6 and Lima14 two feedbacks are lost, Golf7 and Oscar7 signal attenuation abnormally, gene retrieval can not work normally. ]

    "Enable the backup system." Natasha ordered.

    [Back-up circuit information flow detection. The whole circuit is normal. The backup power is on. The sensing system is normal. The weapon feedback speed is normal. The backup circuit is activated, the backup retrieval device——]

    "Stop, no, stop," the brown-haired girl suddenly yelled in a hurry, "You can't start backup retrieval, that's absolutely not possible."

    [Backup system startup has stopped. ]

    Liu Yi blinked blankly: "What's the matter? It will stop after a while."

    "Usually when the fault occurs, just start the backup system, and the elevator will still go up, but you two are here today, no," Natasha explained, hearing her stomping in the dark, "there is no database in the backup retrieval device. Your genetic information, you will end up with those mosquito bugs just now."

    "Can't we go up?"

    "No, I can activate the backup circuit alone, but," she said to herself hesitantly, "it seems a little weird. Although there have been a lot of bad things recently, it just happened that you two are here... don't start the gene search As for the system, the design institute does not have any safety measures..."

    Natasha played alone for a minute before and after, then she suddenly awakened and slapped her forehead: "I think too much, we are on Sunan Island. Midas! Use the backup circuit alone, do not activate the gene retrieval device and Weapon system."

    [Applicant information verification. Name: Natasha Qin, Gender: Female, Age: Don't talk to me, why the f**k are you asking this? ]

    AI's unwavering tone and sudden swearing made everyone except Natasha laugh and endure very hard. Most of the codes and voices of Midas were either she or Qin Shiwu recorded.

    [Information check is completed, level S permission is detected, identity dean, and the instruction is passed. ]

    My skin felt a slight irritation, and then the lights in the elevator came on. "Alright," Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, "Hurry up and send us up, and then resume genetic retrieval. I will find someone to fix it."

    [To understanding. ]

    The elevator rises again, not as stable as before, and it trembles twice from time to time, as if it rubs against the elevator shaft wall. The brown-haired girl frowned slightly, with obvious doubts on her face: "What's wrong? It's usually fine, why today..."

    A thunderous roar blasted from the top of the head, and the shock wave pierced the elevator from top to bottom, and the five of them staggered and covered their ears. The light that hadn't been lit for a long time shook a few times and went out again, and the elevator plunged into darkness again. After a few seconds, the red emergency light was activated, providing them with precious light.

    I smelled the smell of smoke and fire in my nose, and heat was rushing from all directions, there was no doubt that there was an explosion and fire. Not yet awake from the initial impact, there were several explosions above his head, and then the feeling of weightlessness struck, and the elevator fell rapidly amidst the screams of everyone.

    Damn it-only had time to curse in his heart, Liu Yi hugged Lu Fei without hesitation, let her lie on her body, using her body as her cushion. I don't know how much it can do, but if I get fatter, Liu Yi thought to himself, what else can I do? As long as it can increase her chances of survival, anything is fine.

    Lu Fei immediately sensed his intentions and wanted to struggle, Liu Yi's arms held her firmly in his arms. The strength of the two was so far apart that she was completely immobile.

    "Don't—"

    The elevator stopped abruptly as the girl screamed. Although he didn't hit the bottom, the shock caused Liu Yi's internal organs to move, and the pain made him almost shut his breath. It was easy to slow down a little, he guessed that his face was completely purple, but fortunately he couldn't see it under the dim red light.

    Where is Lu Fei? Is she okay?

    "Liu Yi, Liu Yi!" The girl knelt beside him, crying in her voice, "How can you do this! Why do it for me—does it matter? Answer, answer me."

    Something sweet and warm came up from his throat, and Liu Yi swallowed abruptly. "Fool," he stretched out his right hand to stroke her hair, "I have nothing to do. But you, are you hurt?"

    Seeing the girl shaking his head, he felt relieved. Very good, worth it.

    The answer was Natasha's yelling: "Oh, oh, oh, it hurts me."

    Following Professor Xu Tian, he coughed vigorously: "Mom, damn, I'm fine. How about you? Are all okay? Has anyone died?"

    "Professor," Rousseau said, "the dead will not answer you."

    "Shut up, you uneducated fool," the old man scolded, "I ask you this because I see them all okay."

    "Yeah, it's okay," Liu Yi stood up with a grin, "I heard that the design here is very perfect, and the safety system is impeccable, even mosquitoes can't fly in?"

    "Yeah, we were attacked. This must be an attack. The explosion was caused by a plastic bomb." There is no doubt about the genius of the brown-haired girl, but some aspects are also surprisingly slow. "Oops, you have to notify the lightning immediately. Ah no, the security team and the special response team should be notified first."

    Natasha took out a tablet the size of a mobile phone and poked at the door. Liu Yi saw beads of sweat dripping out of her forehead. Her fingers are flying and she is very skilled in operation, and the gadgets in her hand keep making feedback sounds similar to hitting a mechanical keyboard. After a while, Natasha raised her head and let out a breath.

    "Is there a result?"

    "No," the brown-haired girl answered calmly, "No signal."

    "I thought the signal and wifi coverage elevator should be the standard five years ago," Liu Yi laughed and laughed out of his mobile phone. "Let me see... Uh, sorry, mine is the same."

    The same goes for Professor Xu Tian and Rose's mobile phones. Natasha pressed the emergency contact button of the elevator, but there was no response. She picked up the phone that came with the elevator to call. There was silence in the receiver, and the line must have been broken. She tried to call Midas but did not respond.

    "The imperative is to quickly figure out what happened," the brown-haired girl clenched her fists. "Who dared to attack my design institute."

    "I thought," Liu Yi looked at the emergency exit on the top of the elevator, "the first priority is to leave first. You said earlier that there is an emergency escape route in this place, right?"

    "Ah yes, I said, my design is foolproof. I considered this situation at the beginning. No matter how deep the elevator falls, it can be easily escaped." After a pause, Natasha looked at Liu Yi, "You have the richest experience in this kind of thing, and you are here to direct everyone."

    "Of course," Liu Yi agreed, "I can see that, I didn't expect laymen."

    Relying on Liu Yi's height and Lu Fei's dexterity, the two cooperated to open the escape port, and the girl went up to meet him first, and he assisted from below. Fortunately, Lu Fei is wearing sports shorts today, not a skirt.

    Everyone present didn't lack exercise on weekdays, so they climbed out easily. Only Liu Yi had a problem. He had to carry the box containing AL in one hand, and the liver and stomach were suffering from a dull pain, and he was probably hurting the internal organs just now.

    He resisted without showing any pain, lest Lu Fei worry. In the elevator shaft, as Natasha said, well-designed stairs and fire doors. Leaded by the brown-haired girl, they jumped on the wall of the well, passed through one of the doors, and proceeded along a horizontal passage.

    No enemies were encountered along the way. There is an arrow-shaped emergency light every ten meters in the passage to point out the way for them. At the same time, there is an emergency shelter every twenty meters, which is fireproof and anti-virus. There are also emergency fireproof clothing, fire axe, The rescue rope, oxygen cylinder and emergency drinking water can last for eight hours. Although Natasha's design is as perfect as she boasted, to be truly realized, the financial resources required are not affordable for ordinary organizations. Qin Shiwu named the artificial intelligence here Midas appropriately.

    "Come down and keep going," the brown-haired girl was like a king who was guiding his servants. "We will enter a stairwell. From the current depth, we have to climb about thirty floors. In order to climb as easily as possible, The stairs are in the shape of a back shape. I have designed a lot of platforms for rest. Everyone should take exercise. Don't worry, this is an abnormal passage. The attacker could not know that there is such a way."

    Her words reminded Liu Yi instead. He put on the AL and took a fire axe. Without weapons, this thing is better than nothing. "From now on, I will take the lead. You two girls are in the middle of the palace with Professor Rose and Professor Xu Tian," he commanded them, "How far is the stairwell?"

    "About four hundred meters."

    "Where will I go after climbing up?"

    "Considering the need to use this access, it must be very urgent. The exit is disguised as a natural cave, not far from the building where we came down."

    "The whole design institute is designed by you alone?"

    "It's basically me, Lightning also came up with an idea."

    "Amazing," Liu Yi couldn't help admiring her in the immediate emergency situation, "Speaking of which, AL, why is there no map shown to me this time."

    [Your squadron leader,] AL said, [I'm really sorry. About this design institute, I knew as much as you before today, but now, you know more than me. But please rest assured, my sensor is better than human senses. Once an enemy is found, I will notify you in time so that you can prepare early. ]

    There is no weapon on hand, and it is useless to find the enemy early. It seems that this time AL brings only this advantage over nothing. Fortunately, the God of Luck took care of him again, and the passage soon reached the bottom, and there were no traces of enemies along the way. At the end is a thick airtight door, which needs to be opened by turning the ring handle.

    Never encountering an enemy, it means that the opponent's target is not us? Liu Yi thought about opening the door, stepped into the staircase Natasha said, and looked up.

    There are brick chips and wall powder on the feet. Liu Yi was taken aback, then looked back at the brown-haired girl: "Is there any other way?"

    "What?" Natasha walked hurriedly, completely stunned with just one glance.

    The shape of the stairwell is the same as that of the elevator shaft. The stairs spiral up along the four arms to the top. And now, except for the small platform where they were on, the stairs from top to bottom were completely destroyed, and only the broken railings and steel bars were stuck outside the wall-they couldn't get up.
