Chapter 004 Ninth Research Institute
The man in the white coat stood outside the door, scratching his head awkwardly.
He had black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, a messy hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a dull scholar's air. He was not tall, only 1.78 meters tall, and wore a white coat that didn't fit him well, which made him look a little funny.
Not far from the white coat, stood a little loli, 1.5 meters tall, just the height of a sergeant, with white hair, black eyes, and slightly curly hair that just fell on her shoulders. She wore a green shirt and green boots, and her cuteness revealed a bit of rejection.
The loli spoke with a bit of childishness, her tone full of blame,
"Director, you shouldn't have told him the time, he may not be able to accept the current situation."
The director in the white coat grabbed his messy hair with both hands, very distressed, and his expression was very tangled, hesitating,
"But...but...he asked me to believe in my comrades!"
There was even a bit of joy and pride in this tangled tone.
Believe in your comrades.
These seven words show that the other party recognized the identity of the director.
People with the same ideals are called comrades.
We are comrades now.
It feels good to be recognized.
"Okay, okay, you've already said it anyway. I asked you to welcome him at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to keep your mouth shut..."
The green-clothed Lolita waved her hand and said in a mature manner,
"The most important thing now is to keep him alive!"
The director immediately said, "I checked him and found that he is very healthy and conscious. Although his supernatural powers are still sealed, his life should be guaranteed!"
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
The Lolita said unhappily,
"I'm afraid he will commit suicide. Do you understand suicide?!
If you wake up from a sleep and find that time has suddenly come to 1200 years later, you don't know anyone here, and the world has become extremely dangerous, can you accept it? How long will it take you to adapt? What if your faith collapses?
It's not easy to save one person. If he dies, all the money I spent will be wasted!"
The director was choked by the Lolita's words. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. He could only stand there anxiously and grab his chicken coop hair.
He wanted to say that he felt that this comrade was not so fragile, and that he looked quite optimistic...
But the director was afraid that this optimism was just a protective color.
Suddenly, the voice of a third person was heard in the field.
"If you commit suicide, don't worry."
Jiang Bai didn't know when he appeared at the door and said seriously,
"I still have one thing to do. Before I accomplish this thing, I can't die."
When he said this, his expression was particularly serious, and he had a holy temperament, as if he was carrying a sacred mission.
This mission is higher than life, higher than everything!
The director and Loli were stunned by his temperament and couldn't speak for a while.
After a few seconds, the director asked weakly, "That... ahem... comrade, can you ask what this thing is?"
Jiang Bai answered fluently,
"Use the remaining time to break through your own limitations, let yourself do more valuable things in a limited time, and try to leave no regrets!"
After that, he didn't forget to add, "For the need of confidentiality, I can only reveal so much to you, forgive me!"
Hearing this, the director was in awe!
As expected of an old comrade from 1200 years ago, his ideological awareness is really high!
Even Loli was a little ashamed, hanging her head and blushing.
The other party has such a high ideological awareness, but she is doubting whether he will commit suicide because of the collapse of faith. A sense of shame for judging a gentleman by a villain's heart arises spontaneously!
The old comrade from 1200 years ago gave the two a little shock of the times.
After a moment, the director's excitement finally calmed down, "Comrade... are you quiet?"
Jiang Bai nodded and asked,
"Well, I heard you say before that there are more than one people like me?"
The Cicada Project is top secret. Even as a participant in the project, Jiang Bai has limited authority. He can only access the information of domestic participants.
Jiang Bai remembered that there were a total of nine people in China who participated in the Cicada Project, and he could recite the files of each person.
If these people are like him, they may also wake up in this era!
One of the four great joys in life is meeting old friends in a foreign land.
Jiang Bai is now a stranger in a foreign land. It would be great if he could get some news from his fellow countrymen.
"This is a bit complicated."
The director would scratch his head when he was nervous.
"Comrade, I don't know why you were sealed. Based on the information we have, we can only infer that you should have participated in a highly confidential plan.
According to our understanding, there are not many participants in this plan, and even fewer people who know about it.
However, one thing is certain. A total of eighteen cabins of this type have been found that seal you. Seventeen of them are empty, and they were empty before the fifth mysterious tide arrived..."
Is that so?
Jiang Bai's eyes sank slightly, as if thinking about something.
The number of people in the Cicada Plan does not exceed twenty. Jiang Bai has the strongest ability, and the sealing takes the longest time, and the awakening takes the longest time.
In other words, the other seventeen people have successfully awakened at the right time?
If they all succeeded, why has this era become like this?
Jiang Bai shook his head slightly.
Regardless of whether the first seventeen people have successfully awakened, from the perspective of the results, the Cicada Plan is infinitely close to failure.
They failed to complete the plan to save all mankind.
Now, this heavy responsibility falls on Jiang Bai's shoulders.
Sizzling——
While the three of them were talking, the light above their heads made an unusual sound.
The next second,
The whole room suddenly plunged into darkness!
In the darkness, Jiang Bai held a voice recorder, which was the only usable weapon in his hand. He looked around cautiously.
Enemy attack? !
Coming so soon? !
He has just woken up, and the Cicada plan is already extremely close to failure. Jiang Bai may be the last spark and the only executor of this salvation plan. It is not too much to call himself a savior...
Under such a severe situation, the enemy still came to the door immediately and launched an attack on Jiang Bai!
This shows the importance of Jiang Bai!
But that's okay!
A cold light flashed in Jiang Bai's eyes. No matter who the enemy was, he was confident of repelling them!
This is the confidence that the three powers bring him.
At this moment, the training Jiang Bai received in the special training camp came into play!
Soon enough, in the darkness, Jiang Bai stepped forward, accurately guarding the director and Loli, and commanded them in a low voice,
"Stick to the wall and protect yourself!"
Every action and every processing is at the textbook level, without any fuss!
Even if Lao Ma comes, he still has to hold up his pants to give Jiang Bai full marks for his reaction!
"It's not an enemy attack..."
The director, who was protected by Jiang Bai, scratched his head and said sheepishly,
"We didn't pay the electricity bill and there was a power outage."
Jiang Bai:......
Director:......
Jiang Bai, who was holding a voice recorder and entering a quasi-combat state, didn't know what to do for a while.
There was... a power outage?
In the darkness, only the breathing of the three people rose and fell, which seemed particularly embarrassing.
In order to break the embarrassment, the director decided to say something.
What can I say...
He cleared his throat and said seriously,
"Welcome to the Ninth Research Institute!"
