Chapter 168 Ada's Journey into the Laboratory
The blue card area, which is on the same floor as the black card area, is at the farthest end of the corridor and can be said to be very close to it.
Feeling a little inexplicably nervous, Ada followed the route of the patrolling soldiers and headed towards the blue card area.
When passing by the two workers who were installing the camera, Ada clearly heard their conversation:
"Have you finished installing it? If you have, hurry up, there is still the next area..."
"——Why do you think there are so many cameras installed everywhere in this place? It's really weird..."
"Hey, why do you care how much they install? The more you install, the more money you get. When you leave, just act like you know nothing..."
"——Okay, it's done! Let's go!"
After arriving at the so-called "Blue Card Area", Ada discovered that this was also a small laboratory, and it was divided into several rooms.
You also need to swipe a card to enter, but there are people in this laboratory, and quite a few of them.
Through the not-so-thick observation glass, she could clearly see that in the small laboratory closest to the outside, there were three fully armed but strangely dressed soldiers running on treadmills.
The one on the outermost side had a long middle-parted hair, wore a brown half-face scarf, held a slender SR-25 precision marksman rifle, and carried a large radio backpack on his back.
With so much equipment, plus the armor he was wearing... the weight must be at least 35 kilograms.
The treadmill was running very fast at this time, and he had to sprint at full speed to avoid falling off the treadmill.
The one in the middle is wearing a skull mask with only the upper half, with a long headdress that looks like dreadlocks attached to the back, and is holding an M4A1 carbine.
This look... is a bit like the sci-fi movie "Predator"?
The other one was more ordinary, wearing a pirate turban and sunglasses, smoking a big retro pipe, and having an exaggerated beard that grew to his chest.
But judging from his muscular physique and the MGL revolver howitzer in his hand...this guy must be a tough guy.
Just a few minutes after Ada arrived outside the observation glass of the Blue Card area, the three treadmills gradually began to slow down until they stopped completely.
The three soldiers looked at the data on the treadmill, and then the one wearing the skull half mask exclaimed:
"Fuck! 51 minutes and 41 seconds?!"
"Birdeye, acupuncture 10 kilometers with 40 kg weight can run faster than me with 35 kg weight, awesome!"
The target of the words was the soldier wearing a brown half mask.
After a while, a kind middle-aged female researcher with short hair and who looked to be around 40 years old pushed the door open from another laboratory inside.
"Oh, the test is done, let me take a look..."
"Knight's speed this time is faster than BigPipe's last time, not bad..."
"——Ah, Auntie... I'm just a little stronger, you don't have to hurt me like this..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldier wearing the pirate turban couldn't hold it anymore and looked quite sad.
"Hey~ I'm not targeting you, bearded man!"
"I mean everyone here is very strong!"
The conversation also seemed to reveal that the relationship between the researchers and soldiers in this laboratory should be quite good.
After calming the bearded man down, the researcher took out a pen and paper and asked the soldier named "Knight":
"How do you feel this time? Are you tired?"
"——Hiss... I'm not tired. It feels just like running five kilometers without any weight..."
"——But I'm so hungry now, I really want to catch a rabbit to taste..."
Several people followed the knight's gaze and finally fell through the glass on two little white rabbits that were undergoing an injection experiment in another laboratory.
"Hmm... the effect seems to be a little weak. I need to report this to Dr. Yoko Suzuki..."
"Also, you can't eat the rabbit. It's used for strength and weight-bearing drug experiments. I'm afraid you'll get angry after eating it and force lift 300 kilograms..."
"——? I want to eat 10!!!"
……
Listening to the conversation inside, Ada raised her eyebrows.
What does it mean to run 10 kilometers with a 40 kg weight for 51 minutes?
It takes a normal person 0 minutes to 40 hour to complete the run without any weight. A bucket of pure water weighs about 1 kilograms, which is equivalent to carrying two large buckets of pure water and running at a constant speed throughout the whole run.
What’s even more exaggerated is that under such a horrible load, the average time per kilometer is no more than 5 minutes!
However, Ada quickly noticed the three used injection pens with blue pen caps placed on the table next to the three soldiers.
This model seemed to be an endurance-enhancing drug that she had seen outside.
The serial number seems to be something like…[TGLabs FT-6]?
It wouldn't be strange if there were drugs to help, but...
The facility guards who didn't know the way and were in the process of improving the security system indicated that this laboratory seemed to have been built not long ago.
So where did the combat stimulants that were so popular in the military come from?
Her curiosity grew stronger. After leaving the Blue Card area and turning the corner, Ada came to three offices, two on the second floor and one on the first floor.
After a little thought, she chose to start with the two rooms on the second floor.
Ada went up the wooden spiral staircase and just entered the office when she heard a voice in English with a slight Russian accent:
"Oi! Kid! Don't touch that!"
Ada looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a Russian researcher who was dressed neatly and was scolding another young male researcher in the corner who was trying to touch an object.
Looking closely, it seems to be a scaled-down version of...a Soviet T-34-85 tank model?
It’s just that the proportions of this model seem a bit too big, almost half the height of a person…
"Hey, Director An, why are you making models instead of studying your 12.7mm trebuchet?"
"Be careful if your boss finds out one day, he might deduct a few weeks' salary from you..."
The young male researcher who was scolded said cheerfully.
The Russian researcher known as "Director An" came to the model, checked it to make sure it was intact, and muttered:
"This is the birthday present I'm waiting to give to the little princess when she turns one. Please don't break it..."
"Besides, my gun has already been designed, but my factory has not been built yet, so it cannot be put into production..."
Ignoring the little episode in the office, Ada hummed a little tune and came to an idle computer.
The computer is already on, and there are some unprocessed program data on the desktop.
I think the owner of this workstation went to the bathroom or something and left temporarily.
Ada took out the USB drive, plugged it into the computer case, opened "My Computer", and started browsing as if nothing had happened.
While keeping her eyes focused on the screen, she would look outside from time to time to prevent the owner of this workstation from suddenly coming back.
Soon, Ada found some data about combat stimulants and some experimental reports.
Without thinking too much, she just copied and pasted it all into the USB drive.
However, when the data transfer progress had only reached 1%, the computer suddenly froze and then instantly displayed a blue screen.
This was followed by a female electronic synth voice on the radio:
"Unauthorized data transfer has been detected in the [Office A] area and has been forcibly stopped and the network has been blocked."
"Raider is on the way. Please evacuate in an orderly manner."
