Chapter 18 Tasks and Lies (3)

Yi Chen has been to the Development Department many times, but it is limited to the lobby where the tasks are accepted. He has never been to the development department at all.

This time he saw it, it was like a prison inside.

With long walkways and dim lights, a large floor-to-ceiling window will appear at an equal distance on both sides of the walkway. The windows are isolated by special rebound glass, and in addition to iron bars, they are reinforced. Through these windows, the supervisors can clearly see the operating conditions of all departments in their jurisdiction.

"It's like a prison, right?" Ax seemed to see Yi Chen's thoughts. He said, taking Yi Chen in front. "But I have to admit that if you can work in any of the 'penten's cells, your daily income will be rich!... Well, of course, the premise is that you have to be the one wearing a white coat." Ax pointed to one of the studios.

Yi Chen looked at the sign on the top of the room: Pharmacy Department, Test Room No. 13.

There were five people inside, two women and three men. The two women were wearing white coats and masks. They were pharmacists. The other two men were also wearing white coats, but their eyes remained at the last man tied to the test bench. Obviously the last man was the "White Mouse". He was wearing a unique gray dress and a tattoo of a number on his face. The two men existed to prevent the test subject from moving randomly.

"That guy is a prisoner?" Yi Chen asked.

The gray clothes are the color of prison uniforms in the desert area, and the number on their faces is the number of the cell they are in.

"What kind of criminal acts should be done, the same value should be used to make up for the past sins." Ax looked at the windows, "You know, our laws are different from the federal ones. Those who were locked up are basically people who have caused major events, and they are almost all death sentences - as long as they have no background, they are left with the federal ones, but for us, as long as we are willing to cooperate and become a test subject in the pharmacy department, if we survive, we can regain freedom."

Everyone's eyes were cold, just like a robot, mechanically following the daily progress chart. Except for the prisoner, his eyes were mixed with fear, nervousness... many complicated negative emotions that were indescribable. When Yi Chen and Aix walked past that window, it happened that one of the female researchers was holding a syringe and preparing for injection.

Yi Chen suddenly felt a little creepy. He was wondering if the matter was revealed, would he have to accept such torture?

"You're Yi Chen?"

A man suddenly appeared in front of him, dressed in white clothes and robe. He looked at Yi Chen beside Ax with a scrutiny look. He told him directly that this man had a certain position in the development department.

Axti Yichen answered his question: "Yes, he is the person you are looking for."

Yi Chen also nodded to him, but he didn't say anything.

The young supervisor habitually pushed his eyes and said to Yi Chen with a blank expression: "You come here, Ax probably told the whole story?"

"Well, I've heard of it all." Yi Chen nodded and responded.

"Interrogation is a process that must be followed, and the process will be fast, you don't have to worry." The supervisor said, clapping his hands, and two tall men walked out behind him, "Take him there." The supervisor ordered.

The two men, one left and the other was on the right, one held Yi Chen's shoulder from behind, and the other made a "please" action in front.

"Pretending to behave!"

Yi Chen snorted coldly from the bottom of his heart, and this was not considered a "please". He dared to bet that if he had the courage to say "no", these two people would definitely take action directly, knock him down and force him away.

Ax made a safe gesture to Yi Chen, and Yi Chen nodded to him, and then followed the two men away.

"How long will the interrogation take?" Ax asked the supervisor.

"It won't be too long, as long as he is willing to cooperate," the supervisor smiled, and he said to Ax: "Now you have free time, let's have a cup of coffee together and pass the time by the way."

...

Yi Chen was taken to a torture room, his hands were tied with iron chains and fixed on a wooden chair. In front of him was an equally wooden desk, with some record books neatly placed on it. A smiling prosecutor sat in front of Yi Chen, beside him was a staff member exuding a strong smell of herbs.

"Relax, it's just a few issues with the procedure." The prosecutor said with a smile.

Yi Chen raised his head when he heard this. He looked around. There were bright incandescent lamps on the top of his head, and there were extremely white walls on all sides. Small depressions and reflections could be vaguely seen in some places. Those were monitors.

The prosecutor opened a record book, picked up a pen and wrote down the date and the serial number of the torture room, and then began the interrogation.

"name?"

"Yi Chen."

"age?"

"Eighteen years old."

...

...

The identity verification ended soon. The prosecutor turned the record book to the next page, then put down his pen and stretched out his fingers with his hands, crossed them and dragged his chin together, and his eyes were staring at Yi Chen.

"Please tell me, what did you find in the ruins that day?"

"Before I discovered those two armors, I had been walking with the big army." Yi Chen had a set of language to deal with. His speaking speed was not slow at all, and his answers were orderly. "I think before I came, you have prepared the confessions of others. Just check them to prove what I said. After that, I suggest that everyone go in and explore them. Whoever finds the things belongs to... We scavengers must grasp every possible way of wealth. You know, if you want to survive in the desert area, you must find more work."

"So where have you been in the ruins and what have you found?" the prosecutor continued.

“After separation, I first fumbled in the storage room behind.”

Yi Chen did not intend to conceal the fact that he went where he went. After all, the development department had obtained all the electronic information of the ruins. At least they should know where the third piece of armor was stored. Instead of hiding these things to make others more suspicious, it is better to tell them out loud.

"The light was dark at that time, and because of long-term corrosion, I didn't know the serial number of those storage rooms. However, most of the storage rooms were used to store ammunition and weapons. Those things could not withstand the corrosion and fell apart and turned into ash with a touch. In the end, I just found a bunch of Donimme metal."

"Are you sure?" After hearing Yi Chen's answer, the prosecutor asked, "Didn't you... forget anything?"

"I remember clearly!" Yi Chen said affirmatively.

"No, I think you must have forgotten something. Although most of the items in the ruins have rotted, there was once a research institute. Since this should be some high-tech products, I believe that those things can definitely withstand the test of time. Think about it again, have you forgotten something?"

The prosecutor said, his eyes narrowing again, as if laughing in place of his mouth.
