The gentle girl on the loudspeaker said calmly: "Even if you resist stubbornly, you won't be able to reverse the situation. If you surrender now, I won't kill you.

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. In ten minutes, my people will use 'self-destruct' outside the laboratory. By then, even if you want to surrender, it will be too late."

Through the glass on the door, Jiang Yu saw the people outside calmly gathered around the door, as if waiting for prey to come out and fall into a trap.

While mixing glucose, Barlow's students asked anxiously: "What should we do now?"

Before Barlow could speak, Jiang Yu asked first, "Can the computer that just spoke to us hear our voices?"

Weiss pointed to the microphone on the test stand: "Okay."

Jiang Yu came to the microphone and said: "We have been seriously frightened. We need time to calm down. We will give you an answer in half an hour!"

After a few seconds, "Athena" said: "Twenty minutes, this is the final concession."

Barlow and others were a little dumbfounded. How could they still operate like this?

Jiang Yu pulled out the microphone and said to Weiss: "Block all the cameras here. We can't let the other party know what we are doing."

Weiss followed suit and blocked all the cameras.

Barlow's students quickly blended a few beakers of glucose. Each of them drank a beaker, and soon they felt that their limbs had some strength again.

Jiang Yu analyzed: "These people outside seem to be manipulated and only follow one person's orders.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but each of them is wearing a hat. Some of them have hats that don't fit very well, but they still wear them. Does this mean anything?"

Then he said to Barlow: "Uncle Ba, now please tell me about the experimental subjects and weapons in the base! Only by finding the source of the problem can we solve the problem."

Barlow hesitated for a while and then said: "Okay, but you must keep it confidential afterwards and just pretend I didn't say anything today."

Jiang Yu, Lisa and others nodded one after another, sitting or standing to listen attentively to what Barlow continued to say.

Barlow thought for a while and then said: "The base does have several weapons aimed at the human brain, but they are basically focused on attacking people's minds. It is certain that there are no weapons that can manipulate other people's consciousness.

"In previous research, we have harvested several very distinctive experimental subjects.

"For example, during the application of genetic modification technology, Experimental Subject No. 3 has the characteristic of body cells dividing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and has extremely strong vitality.

"Unfortunately, starting last year, the division of cells in his body was completely out of control. Tumors appeared everywhere, and eventually he turned into a monster made of flesh and blood..."

Jiang Yu interrupted and asked: "Is this experimental subject human?"

It was Lisa who answered this question: "The test-tube babies we cultivated."

Jiang Yuxin said: "You guys really deserve to die!" He had decided to eliminate all these people after getting out of trouble.

Barlow continued: "Experimental Subject No. 16 is the most successful case of genetic modification technology and has initially possessed the characteristics of a 'perfect human'.

“His IQ is very high and his hands-on ability is extremely strong. As he grows older, his abilities increase exponentially.

“For example, at five months old, I can talk to the staff fluently, and at the age of three, I have already studied university courses by myself.

"He is now six years old, and his IQ and abilities have far exceeded those of normal adults. Because we are afraid that he will escape our control, many senior officials have suggested that he be eliminated.

"Experiment No. 36 showed a typical atavistic tendency. Initially we thought the experiment had failed, but we soon discovered that the subject's sense of smell, hearing, etc. were very keen.

"And the sixth sense is so strong that every time we approach him quietly from behind, he can detect it. We even suspect that he can sometimes observe ultraviolet rays with the naked eye."

Barlow mentioned three experimental subjects in one breath, but they were all six-year-old children, and none of them seemed to be the initiators of this disaster.

Jiang Yu asked: "No experimental subjects have superpowers, right?"

Barlow replied: "No, the so-called superpowers may only exist in imagination."

Weiss reminded: "Twelve minutes have passed."

Jiang Yu scratched his head irritably: "Do you have any ideas?"

Lisa and others all shook their heads. As Barlow said just now, even if a child with a high IQ is only six years old, what kind of disturbance can it cause?

Moreover, the chaos in the base does not look like it could be caused by humans.

Jiang Yu sighed: "There is no clue, so we can only find a way to overcome the difficulties in front of us."

Jiang Yu felt the eyes of Lisa and others, and he suddenly understood that at this time, he had become the backbone of Lisa and others.

Apparently Barlow has hidden too many secrets, and everyone gradually no longer believes him.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and then said: "If people outside use 'self-destruct', they will definitely retreat thirty meters away.

"Can we take advantage of this gap to seize or turn off the 'self-destruct'?"

"That's what I'm going to say next." Barlow smiled bitterly: "I estimate that the one who placed the 'self-destruct' must be the I-3 intelligent robot.

"It is the best by-product of brain insertion technology. It is the most advanced intelligent robot in the world today. It can complete many complex operations. It is very simple for him to place a 'self-destruct'."

One of Barlow's students said: "I can prepare some highly corrosive solutions to attack robots."

"This is a very good idea." Barlow smiled: "They don't have waterproof shells, and corrosive solutions can easily flow into their interiors. It would be even better if they were mixed with flammable liquids."

Several people took action immediately. Even if the prepared thing could not deal with the robot, it was still very aggressive against the people outside.

Soon after the twenty minutes specified by "Athena" passed, the people guarding outside quickly evacuated, and two tall and thick humanoid robots came to the door with firm steps.

Barlow and others looked at each other and smiled. They had already predicted this scene and felt confident in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, a robot suddenly clenched its fist and hammered the door switch hard.

The force of this hammer was so precise that the automatic door lock went out of control and the two doors were opened immediately.

Barlow and others were suddenly dumbfounded. They didn't expect that "Athena"'s previous "self-destruction" attack was completely a pretense.

It obviously used "self-destruction" as bait to induce Jiang Yu and others to plan. Its goal has always been to break into the laboratory unexpectedly.

The robot strode in and reached out to grab people.

Barlow shouted: "Attack!"

The two robots fired the stun guns placed on their chests first. Two of Barlow's students fell down and were stunned instantly.

The glass bottle containing concentrated acid in one of the students' hands was broken and flowed onto his body. The air was immediately filled with the pungent smell of acid and rotten meat.

Barlow and others were too late to rescue them, so they threw the glass bottles in their hands at the robot.
