MTL - Survivor 01 [Unlimited]-Chapter 89 Yuna - [06]

After going to the underground laboratory, Ye Fei began to take time to visit those children every day.

Cen Jie said that he would talk to Dr. Fang Yuan and persuade him to cancel the experiment. Ye Fei didn't know how he persuaded him. Anyway, those children were still locked up in the basement for several months. There was no need at all. Signs of being let out.

Ye Fei can't interfere with the affairs of the White Tower Laboratory, he can't do much for them, he can only spend time every day to accompany them.

Fortunately, although those children didn't communicate with each other very much, they seemed to be very happy to play with Ye Fei. Every time Ye Fei passed by, they would gather around him, waiting for Ye Fei to tell them the boring stories he made up.

However, there is always one exception.

That's the child number 07. I don't know if it's because of her blindness. He always likes to sit in a corner by himself, leaning against the wall. He doesn't seem to care about any movement, and he doesn't want to join in the fun with other children. Listen to Ye Fei tell a story.

Of course Ye Fei would not allow the child to be alone under his nose, he tried to get close to him, forcing his way into his world.

When talking to him for the first time, Ye Fei took the initiative to sit beside the child.

Ling Qi obviously sensed that someone was approaching, but he didn't react at all, and kept his head down, holding a bug he caught from nowhere.

"Hello, Zero Seven."

Zero Seven ignored him.

Ye Fei began to tell stories on her own, all his stories were made up by herself, and the protagonist of today's story is a melancholy little mushroom. At the end of the talk, Ling Qi didn't respond, but he had a rare conversation with Ye Fei, and what he said was his evaluation of Ye Fei's story, only two words:

"boring."

"Oh, I will be very sad when you say that." Ye Fei bent her lips and smiled at the child.

Ling Qi's appearance is somewhat neutral, probably because of his young age, he looks as pretty as a girl.

Ye Fei looked at him twice:

"Zero Seven is so pretty."

Hearing this, Ling Qi froze for a moment.

He raised his eyes, and there was no light in his dark eyes:

"Yeah?"

Hearing this, Ye Fei was slightly taken aback.

Only then did he remember that Ling Qi couldn't see his own appearance.

Ye Fei was a little concerned about this matter, because he didn't know if Ling Qi would feel sad because of these words, after all, children who are different from others always have more delicate thoughts.

Therefore, in order to apologize to Zero Seven, Ye Fei brought lollipops to the children when he went to the laboratory the next day.

The children were still the same as before, when they saw Ye Fei coming in, they surrounded him, Ling Qi was the same as before, staying in his little corner.

After distributing the candies, Ye Fei took the last lollipop and sat beside Ling Qi.

He put the candy in Zero Seven's hands:

"Here, I left strawberry flavor for you. This is my favorite flavor. I hope you like it too."

Ling Qi held the candy in his hand, but didn't say anything.

And Ye Fei saw him slightly bent his eyes like this.

He took out another candy from his pocket, and quietly put it into Ling Qi's palm.

Zero Seven was stunned for a moment.

This candy was only given to Ling Qi, Ye Fei felt that she had said something wrong yesterday, so she specially took it to apologize to Ling Qi.

He leaned close to Zero Seven's ear and told him in a very soft voice:

"This is rabbit candy, only for Ling Qi, don't be discovered by other children."

Zero Seven is blind, so he relies on other senses more than ordinary people.

At this time, he heard Ye Fei's voice in his ears, and he could vaguely feel his warm breath on the tips of his ears and cheeks, which made Ling Qi's movements slightly stiff, but he quickly hid the strangeness, just Silently clenched the rabbit candy in his hand.

Ye Fei didn't notice Ling Qi's actions. After delivering the candy, he looked at the children in the room who dispersed after listening to the story.

After looking around, he decided to ask Ling Qi a question that he had puzzled for a long time.

"Zero Seven." Ye Fei lowered her voice and asked softly:

"You are here, don't you usually communicate?"

"No."

Ling Qi's tone was cold and concise, as if he didn't want to waste a word with Ye Fei at all.

"Why?"

"It's not necessary."

Ye Fei felt that things seemed a little strange.

Ten-year-old boys like them are at an active age. They live in such a closed space. Logically speaking, they should be happy to make friends, chat and play with each other. After all, even little sparrows know how to keep warm by huddling together. But every time Ye Fei came over, he would see them scattered in different parts of the room. Only when Ye Fei, an outsider, came in, would they gather together for a short time.

"Then why are you willing to talk to me?" Ye Fei asked again, and while talking, he didn't know what he thought of, and joked:

"Because you like me?"

Zero Seven did not comment on this.

He just snorted inexplicably.

Ye Fei felt that the child was mocking him, but he had no proof.

He shrugged and did not continue to ask.

The days passed like this day by day, and it almost became a habit for Ye Fei to run to the underground laboratory.

During this period, he also went to look for Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan was a scientific research lunatic, he couldn't communicate at all, and even asked the guard to point a gun to Ye Fei's forehead, and finally Cen Jie came forward to persuade the two of them. That's all.

Cen Jie said he would negotiate, but a month later, the children were still locked in the underground laboratory room.

Ye Fei became their only playmate in their boring life, he liked to play with the children, and because Ling Qi was withdrawn, he spent more time on Ling Qi than other children.

These things were seen by other children, and no one would say anything, until one day, Ling San, who was the youngest in the room, suddenly pulled Ye Fei aside mysteriously, and whispered to Ye Fei:

"Brother Ye, why don't you come here in the future, don't you have any business of your own?"

"Yes." Hearing what he said, Ye Fei was a little surprised:

"But I want to accompany you, you stay here, won't you be lonely?"

Zero Three's expression seemed to be a bit perplexed.

He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't speak for some reason, and in the end he just said to Ye Fei:

"No, Brother Ye... Forget it."

Zero Three hesitated to speak, but finally, he gritted his teeth and looked at Zero Seven in the corner, as if trying to make Ye Fei understand something:

"Don't get too close to him, he is very bad."

To be honest, Ye Fei didn't understand Ling San's meaning, and didn't care too much.

But a few days later, when he went to the laboratory again, he suddenly found that Zero Three was missing.

He tried to ask Zero Seven, and other children in the room, but none of them told him where Zero Three had gone. In the end, the researcher called Cen Jie, and Cen Jie took out a medical record and told him that Ling San died of a sudden illness and the body had already been disposed of.

Ye Fei thought of what Ling San had said to him before, and it was hard not to connect those with this matter.

Seeds of doubt were planted in Ye Fei's heart.

From that day on, several children would disappear from the laboratory from time to time, and the room was often filled with the smell of disinfectant.

The disappearance of those children was overshadowed by a fluffy "sudden illness".

He asked Zero Seven if anything happened to them, and if someone took them to experiment, but Zero Seven didn't answer his question at all.

Ye Fei became more and more anxious. He felt that if this continued, sooner or later, all those children would disappear.

It would be fine if he just died like that, but if he was taken away to do some weird experiments... Ye Fei didn't dare to think about it.

He didn't think it would work.

If he can save one, he will take the rest of the children out of here. As for the responsibilities he has to bear and whether he will be retaliated by Fang Yuan afterwards, he doesn't care.

Thinking this way, Ye Fei entered the underground laboratory during non-visiting hours that night.

But when he opened the door and saw everything in front of him, the hand hanging by his side trembled slightly, and the chill ran down his spine, making his mind go blank.

He saw several bloodstains splashed on the one-sided glass of the laboratory, and the corpses of children lying in disorder in the room, Ling Qi was being pinched to the ground by Ling Jiu's neck, Ling Jiu looked crazy, as if he wanted to strangle Ling Qi alive Death is the last thing to do.

And Ling Qi frowned, groping with his hands on the ground, he came across the dagger that someone had dropped on the ground.

After touching the handle of the knife, without any hesitation, he directly grasped the dagger firmly and stabbed it into Ling Jiu's side neck.

Ling Jiu's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

Then he staggered and fell to the ground.

"...what is this doing?"

Ye Fei couldn't believe the picture in front of him. He asked the researcher in the room who was in charge of recording:

"I asked what is this doing now??"

"Uh, experiment."

The researcher didn't quite understand why Ye Fei appeared here at this time, but he still explained:

"These are... er, Dr. Fang, the children raised by Dr. Fang, they are specially circled together. From the very beginning, they said that they can only keep one of these children in the end, and the purpose is for today. What are you doing? Dr. Ye has never heard of the White Tower's request." Add a new department, which specializes in secret agents and assassinations, of course it is to train talents for them... Wait, Doctor Ye, what are you doing, Doctor Ye? You can't go in!"

Regardless of the researcher's obstruction, Ye Fei forcibly broke into the room.

When he entered, Ling Qi was struggling to push Ling Jiu's body away and got up from the ground. Hearing the extra noise in the room, he immediately groped for Ling Jiu's body, and pulled out the knife from his side neck, as if trying to defend himself.

This scene hurt Ye Fei's eyes.

It's hard for him to imagine what these children have experienced, so he doesn't communicate with each other because he knows that they are competitors with each other, so they know from the beginning that the probability of their survival is only one in nine, and they live in unknown dangers and conflicts every day. in fear.

And they were just teenagers.

"it's me."

Seeing Ling Qi who was frightened like a small animal, Ye Fei's heart tightened, and he hugged Ling Qi in his arms.

He didn't know what to say to comfort the boy.

Being forced to kill a companion under the instinct of survival is a matter of extreme despair, Ye Fei can hardly imagine Ling Qi's mood.

Ling Qi was held in his arms and buried his face in his neck.

He heard Zero Seven whispering:

"They all died, I killed a lot of people."

He paused, as if seeking comfort, and said:

"Afraid."

"Don't be afraid." Ye Fei hugged him tightly, stroking his head with slightly trembling hands:

"You don't want to, it's not your fault."

At that time, Ye Fei was in a mess. He was thinking about how to comfort him, how to solve the psychological shadow and stress disorder that the child might leave behind, and how to take Ling Qi away from this ghost place.

He didn't see it, and he couldn't see it at all, Ling Qi's lips curved slightly into a smile.

He didn't even see the knife that Ling Qi hid behind his back.
