Chapter 43: A Pot
The scenery around you is constantly changing, the traces of half-hearted people appear and disappear, half footprints on the ground, and a scratch on the plant models on both sides of the street can always be a mark to keep up with him smoothly.
"Dang", another successful block, another raid from the shadow, chasing all the way, similar confrontations have happened five or six times, but fortunately, Shuer can successfully avoid it every time, but...
"When I was taking risks before, did I be very harsh on him, and did he hate me very much?" Shaw shook his numb wrist and gritted his teeth, "Why do you always look for me?"
"Or who would you ask him to look for?" Xiaolu pointed to her nose, "Would you look for me? Or Sassa?"
"That's right, we three can only find me." He murmured to himself with some meaning. Xiuer tilted his head to look at the building beside him and said with a smile, "But the farce is almost over."
"It's here? Well, it should be." Lin Jing suddenly kicked four hooves like an untamed wild horse, "Sasa, you lazy guy, come down for me."
"Is it OK?" The female swordsman in front of her could not wait to put on her glasses again, and finally could see the surrounding environment clearly. "Ah, this building..."
Walking along the underground cities, all the buildings we see are basically unguarded civilian facilities, even those research institutions. Only now this area has a clear military color and can be called under high alert.
A thousand-meter-long fence completely surrounded this area. Every fifty meters above the top of the wall, there is a lookout tower. The same standard of thermal weapons are also installed on the tower, and the towers are sealed with barbed wire. The entire area is as tight as a military fortress, and its importance is as if it has been written on the surface.
"Hazardous test items custody agency." Shuer stood in front of the open door, pretending to understand the sign on the side of the door, "Plants like man-eating flowers, blood-sucking grass, will be raised here."
"There are no outsiders, so don't pretend." Lin Jing lowered her head and poked Xiu'er's serious face. "Actually, you don't understand this word at all. There are three letters in total, and it has become such a long list of names."
"You actually discovered it. Yes, I compiled all the translations in front of me, and I can't compile them anymore."
"Hehe." Saf covered her mouth and snickered. Every time she saw the two of them teasing each other, she really hoped that this happiness could last, even if she had to face danger at any time.
"Swish", the laughter disturbed the terrifying guy, and two gazes hit the female swordsman's face at the same time. Shuer and Moria rushed to her with a gloomy smile, slapped her behind her thighs, and raised her arms left and right like rushing into the gate.
"Hey, why are you hitting me again? Don't bully me? Haha, let me go, haha, you two bastards are already crazy."
Although they were laughing and making noise, none of the things around were ignored by the three of them.
The outside looks like a fortress, but the inside looks like a prison. The wall is divided into eight areas, each area is separated by a second high wall, and dozens of automatic flamethrowers are installed on the wall, aiming at the internal space.
Now, the doors of seven areas are open and the inside is messy. These areas are full of man-made land, and many plants should have been planted, but now, there are charred ashes and burning traces of flames everywhere. It is obvious that the frogs activated the defense system at the last moment and burned all the experimental results.
"It seems that it was originally covered with a glass cover." Pinched a few places of soil and twisted it between his fingers. Shuer and Moria looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Well, the soil is not right." Lin Jing sniffed his fingers and nodded, "The glass is melted by the high temperature, and I don't know what it is planted."
"It's just an ordinary plant." Shuer shrugged, "This piece is a kind of vine, a high-risk species, a soil nutrient predator, and has strong environmental adaptability. If it breeds in the forest, it can destroy a large amount of vegetation within a few years. In order to protect the environment, it must be controlled. Well, there is an introduction on it."
"There is also this, originally called Drunk Beast Grass, the word... Oh, it's medicinal, but after eating it, people will be like drunk, and have a strong addictive nature. What is planted here is to change something to weaken the adverse effects. Since it has just been cultivated and requires long-term observation, it is planted here."
"It's interesting." Moria said with interest, "It's all these strange things? What a pity, if you can bring..."
"No," Xiuer interrupted Lin Jing's fantasy with a strong tone, and did not let her tell the truth behind it. "Don't think about those unrealistic things, don't forget what we are here to do."
"Will Macajren really be here?" Savre leaned against Moria's back and looked around. "The only complete place here is that house."
"You'll know if you go over and take a look." Shuer walked directly to the only locked area, which was the only building in the prison that was not open-air.
"Swish", the metal door slid opens on both sides, as if we were opening our arms to welcome guests.
He walked around the circular corridor without looking at the rooms on both sides and ignored them. Shuer had already understood the architectural style of the Frogman and walked directly to the opposite side of the entrance of the circular corridor. Sure enough, the only two double-open doors here appeared in front of everyone.
"Guess where is this place?" Pointing to the door, Shuer walked in without waiting for Moria and Suff to guess. "It was mentioned in the diary that this city, oh no, it should be the webmaster of this research station that issued a concentrated order, and this is the post of the webmaster."
"Website Manager's Office?" Looking at the many plant specimens hanging on the wall, Lin Jing curled his lips, "The highest person in charge of the city lives in a place pointed by various weapons?"
"There are seven experimental fields pointed at by weapons, and these laboratories do not have them." Shuer patted the piles of information on his desk, "These are experimental reports submitted regularly by various research institutes. Tsk, I'm really not doing my job, and I've actually accumulated so much."
"Marca Jaylen is not here." The only dedicated person is Sav. The girl interrupted Shul and Moria's incompetence. "At least it seems not here now, I can't hear his breathing and heartbeat. It's so quiet here that even if he has shadow protection, I should be able to hear it."
"I'm mentally prepared." Shure didn't seem to be anxious at all and said, staring at the table, "Didn't you think Marca Jaylen wants to lead us somewhere? It seems that it's here, haha, I found that we should be looking for the right place."
Following Shuer's gaze, there was a red button under a glass cover on the desktop, and a very familiar black skin notepad next to it was placed straight.
"Hey, this button..." Lin Jing's curious nature could hardly be restrained. He opened the glass cover and looked at Shuer with anticipation, "Let's press it?"
"Absolutely not possible. It's written next to it. Never press it. If you press it, the city will explode."
"Eh?" Lin Jing subconsciously shrank his hand and searched next to the button for a long time, but he still didn't find anything like text.
"I'm lying to you, there's no word." Xiuer pressed the button first with a serious face. "A such an obvious and simple mechanism is nothing more than opening some dark rooms that only the webmaster is qualified to enter. Look, it's opened."
"You wait. After you go back, I will find an opportunity to come to bully Lisa."
It is unlikely that there will be any fatal trap for normal offices in this kind of office, so the three of them look very relaxed. However, it is just that. In fact, the three of them are not at all easy, and they are extremely careful in every movement.
Just like Shuer said that he was lying to Moria, but in fact everyone knew in his heart that this was an institution for studying plants, and Moria had some plant properties. Shuer was worried that there were any defense measures against plants on the button, which would have adverse effects on the forest spirit, so he deliberately took the lead. And while pressing the button, he deliberately protected Moria behind him.
Fortunately, Shuer's concern was a little unnecessary. Everything was calm after pressing the button. Only the wall opposite slowly slid to both sides, revealing a dark room inside.
The decoration of the dark room is grand, at least from the perspective of the Pavatiga people.
There are several figure paintings hanging on the wall. Although the paintings are all frogs, there are several rows of bottles of different heights in the wine cabinet. Although I don’t know the taste, you can tell that they are of great value by looking at the appearance of the bottles. The wide sofa is soft and comfortable. The entire wall opposite the sofa is the kind of glass screen I saw before, but unfortunately, no graphics are available now.
From any perspective, this is a private space for webmasters to relieve stress while working. Even in Pavatiga, many top-level figures have similar secret rooms for official business, which is not worth making a fuss.
What is really worth making a fuss is the coffee table in front of the sofa. The transparent coffee table is made into a lotus leaf shape, which may be very beautiful for frogs. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that there is a flower pot above the coffee table, an unknown red flower blooming in the flower pot.
"Bang", Shuer slapped the button hard, and the wall quickly closed and returned to its original state.
The three of them looked at each other, their expressions full of surprise.
"What did you think you would encounter?" Moria asked straightforwardly without even having to play the puzzle.
"Many possibilities, such as the possible behind-the-scenes master, the survivor of the frogman, or the controlled frogman subject, have systematic wisdom to communicate. But I really didn't expect that the webmaster was so romantic and raised potted flowers in his lounge. Moria, that's not a fake flower."
"Sadly, that's true."
