Indescribable cyberpunk

“The fading redemption.”

"A body at the end of its rope."

"Sky~"

Ethereal and sad songs echoed in the carriage. Zhu Jue was sitting on the right side, looking at the three men and two women sitting opposite. They seemed to know each other. There was always some eye contact between them, but they did not speak. Probably Because there are other people in the carriage, or there is nothing to talk about in this situation.

They finally got the drug trial volunteer qualifications, and it was very easy to do so. Although there were many people in line, there were not many young people, so it was natural for them to be chosen.

In addition to identity checks, they also signed confidentiality agreements, and their bodies were scanned with specialized equipment to confirm that they did not have any miniature cameras or anything else that might pose a threat to the laboratory.

"Do you know who sang this song? It's not very good."

The backpack and weapon box have been sent back to the central area by Sand Scorpion. There is no wind chime to play with, and the mobile phone has been confiscated due to confidentiality regulations. Zhu Jue can only listen to music to pass the time.

There was no one from Luohua Pharmaceutical in the carriage, they were driving ahead.

"I don't know. This song is too sad. I don't like to listen to this type of song. Do you still have the heart to care about this now?"

Chu Yun was a little nervous on the side. Because she had to pass the search of Luohua Pharmaceutical, all the weapons she carried were naturally stored elsewhere. Without ability injections and heavy sniper rifles, she was actually a person who had undergone special combat training at the police academy for several years. She is just an ordinary person. After all, she does not have mechanical prosthetics on her body.

In fact, if she had a mechanical prosthesis, it would be impossible for her to pass the volunteer qualification review. What Luohua Pharmaceutical wanted was not a half-human, half-machine being to conduct experiments.

"This is S.L's song. She is a famous singer in the Federation. This song is her latest song and is included in this year's second volume. You actually say no to such a beautiful song?"

A young man sitting opposite answered Zhu Jue's question. From his tone, it was no surprise that he was a fan of Zhu Jue.

"If you think it sounds good, then everyone must think it sounds good?"

Zhu Jue didn't like him either, curling his lips and whispering BB in a weird voice.

"Hey, this song is my favorite, I won't allow you."

"Ahem, everyone is just trying to make a living. Don't hurt your harmony. We have to do drug trials later."

A lean middle-aged man next to the young man held his shoulders, raised a hand and pressed down on Zhu Jue and said.

Chu Yun covered her face and was speechless for a while, secretly thinking that this guy was really going to cause trouble wherever he went.

Zhu Jue raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the middle-aged man's hand on the young man's shoulder.

He glanced at the woman next to him again. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were focused here.

As expected, these three people knew each other.

He leaned back and began to study the shape of the snowflakes falling on the glass shed on the top of the car. The car occasionally passed under the neon lights, and the colored light reflected on the snowflakes and glass scattered some misty light.

Soon Zhu Jue noticed that the buildings outside were rising and they must have entered the central area of ​​Yecheng. Someone in their row stood behind the carriage and looked at the beautiful city outside through the window.

He was amazed from time to time, and after a while he squatted behind the door, faintly sobbing.

The central area of ​​Yecheng may be a place that is out of reach for many people in their lifetime, because the first condition for entering this city is to pay taxes to a certain level or to work somewhere in the central area and obtain a pass. , even the latter is an opportunity that needs to be fought for by the people at the bottom.

About half an hour later, the vehicle finally stopped somewhere. The back door of the carriage was opened, and several people wearing researcher uniforms were waiting outside.

Zhu Jue got out of the car behind others, turned around and saw the projection of the growing seedlings representing Luohua Pharmaceutical and the large boxy building after the virtual projection.

"Everyone, please come with me. I will give you a brief introduction before the test."

The leader was a young woman, holding an audio-visual stick in her hand, with some data information displayed on the screen.

Zhu Jue, who was standing at the end of the team, began to look at the surrounding environment. There was a wall made of unknown material outside the Luohua Pharmaceutical Laboratory. There were three security guards at the door that looked similar to ants but had the same body shape as the guards. The combat machine was about the same height as the sentry box, and the automatic machine guns mounted on its head and forelimbs were swinging from side to side, as if it was about to target the thugs who broke in from the outside in the next second.

After walking a little further, Zhu Jue also saw a team of armored soldiers on patrol. The armor they were wearing was different from the armor of the Yuanfan Machinery Group that they had seen on the TV tower before. It was probably an exclusive modification. .

"Identity authentication passed."

The light from the access control device at the door swept across the young woman at the front, and the door opened.

"My surname is Jane, you can call me Ms. Jane or Miss Jane. What you are about to accept are the tests of several cephalosporin antibacterial drugs recently developed by Luohua Pharmaceutical. You can rest assured that we have entered into clinical trials in this area. In the final stage, the preliminary test results are very satisfactory. You are just here for a final human test. After the drug injection, you need to be observed for one night. There is a special rest room in the laboratory. The final reward is .6000 federal currency per person. Everyone. Any questions?"

Entering the elevator, Ms. Jian quickly gave a brief introduction to the experimental plan, and paused deliberately when she mentioned the reward.

6,000 federal coins to conduct a human experiment is not a reasonable price. Even if it is Zhu Jue's first time to participate, he can still feel the malicious squeeze of these people at this price.

You must know that the amount of money he donated in his previous life cost several thousand at a time. No matter how you think about this kind of drug experiment, the danger to the human body and the possible side effects are more serious than the former.

"I have a question. Are there any other experiments? Can I do a few more at a time? I just came to Yecheng and I really don't have any money."

Someone raised their hand. He was wearing a dirty gray coat. He felt awkward standing in this clean and bright elevator. He was obviously an adult, but he was a little timid when he spoke and did not dare to look into Ms. Jian's eyes.

His thoughts were quickly echoed by several people around him, including the three people Zhu Jue saw just now.

"There are indeed other projects in the laboratory at present, but they are only dangerous."

Ms. Jian flicked the content on the audio-visual stick and said with some embarrassment.

"Will someone die?"

"As a scientific researcher, I can only tell you that there is a certain possibility of death."

Ms. Jian said bluntly.

"If I don't die, how much will the reward be? If I die, will the reward be given to my family?"

The man who spoke first had bloodshot eyes, and anyone could hear the determination in his words. Zhu Jue guessed that he had encountered an accident recently and needed money urgently. Chu Yun next to him seemed to want to open his mouth, but He quickly stopped him with his eyes.

What a joke, he didn't want to do that kind of experiment. Although he didn't think those medicines would have any effect on his body, Zhu Jue was still a little worried that his body would be found to be in a special condition.

It's better to be cautious when sending it to someone's door to study it.

"Of course, the reward for this test is 500,000, and we will transfer the money to the bank account you provided. The payment will be made first, and then the test will be carried out!"

"Then I'm going to do this test!"

When he heard it was 500,000, the man's eyes immediately shone with light, and he said with wide eyes.

"No problem, as long as you sign the agreement, we can send you the money right away."

Ms. Jian still smiled and agreed to the man's proposal without hesitation.

Is it worth buying a life for 500,000 yuan?

In fact, it is somewhat worthless, because the price of an ordinary refugee from Guangcheng City in today's Yecheng underground black market is about 150,000.

Some time ago it was 300,000. In just half a month, the price dropped by half.

There is no way, who made so many refugees suddenly appear? Human traffickers only need to go to those old cities and say "recruitment" and preferential treatment, and they can immediately catch a batch of meat tickets.

Supply exceeds demand.

Human life is worthless!

However, taking the underground black market route will inevitably involve dealing with those gangsters, and there will be clues left behind. Now is a sensitive period when competing with Yuanfan Machinery for control of Ye City, and everything must be done without leakage.

Like the latest mutation test, if someone volunteers, it would be great. As for the difference between 150,000 and 500,000, to her, it is just two syllables changing positions.

"I'm going to do that test too."

"Me too"

Someone took the lead, and the narrator naturally became less frightened. After a while, five people raised their hands.

Among the remaining five people are Zhu Jue and Chu Yun.

The elevator stopped just at this moment, Zhu Jue looked at the floor number, the 16th floor.

The elevator door opened, and there were two armed armored soldiers guarding the door. They were wearing full-face helmets. The armor on their bodies was obviously more advanced than the ones downstairs. They were less heavy and clumsy and more agile. sharp.

Just by looking at them, you can tell that these guys are veritable killing machines.

"You two, take them to Laboratory 10. You guys follow me. We are going to Laboratory 1."

Obviously, Ms. Jane's status here is not low, and she can order the soldiers on site at will.

"Yes, ma'am, this way."

Two armored soldiers took Zhu Jue and the other five people to the left. Along the way, Zhu Jue wanted to see the environment in this high-end laboratory, but found that all he could see were empty corridors and the doors of all laboratories. It's all closed, so you can't see what's inside.

However, when Zhu Jue reached a door, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at the laboratory, and grabbed his left wrist with his right hand.

"It turns out to be here."

Whispered to himself.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Yun, who was next to her, noticed Zhu Jue's strangeness and asked quickly for fear of another accident.

"You didn't lie to me, it's great."

Zhu Jue squinted his eyes and smiled.
