Chapter 526: District 8 at Night
After taking a shower, Gu Chaoxi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a while.
After thinking about it, she got up from the bed, took the white coat next to the wardrobe and put it on herself.
Pei Yan was originally sleeping beside her, but he woke up when he heard the sound.
"Chao Xi, where are you going?"
He half opened his eyes and saw Gu Chaoxi putting on a white coat and putting both work badges on himself.
It is now past ten o'clock in the evening. Although the door of the laboratory will be closed at ten o'clock in the evening, Area 8 is open all day and anyone can enter with a work badge.
She pursed her lips and looked at Pei Yan: "There may be no one in District 8 now. I want to go and check out the situation."
It’s so late, the staff should have returned to the dormitory to rest.
Annina said at that time that she was a little concerned about the man having been given the latest new medicine.
There are still some things about Enlin that I want to ask that man.
"I'll go with you." Pei Yan said, getting up from the bed.
"Do you have your District 8 work badge?" she asked, already putting on her shoes and standing in the room.
Pei Yan nodded.
When Pei Yan and Shen Yao parted at the stairs in the evening, Shen Yao stuffed the work card of District 8 into Pei Yan's hand.
He probably guessed that Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan would probably go out in the evening, so he gave it to him in advance.
Gu Chaoxi pursed her lips. They were indeed old partners and had a tacit understanding with each other.
Thinking of this, Qin Wei's image unconsciously appeared in Gu Chaoxi's mind.
For a moment, her emotions fell uncontrollably and she felt a little sad.
If Qin Wei were here, would they be able to act together now?
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, temporarily put aside her emotions, and then looked up at Pei Yan.
He had already gotten up from the bed, quickly put on his shoes, and draped his white coat over his arm.
"Let's go." She said softly, and walked out of the room with Pei Yan.
It is actually very easy to detect when she is in a low mood, just like now, her eyes will droop slightly when she walks, and she won't look straight ahead like usual.
Pei Yan placed his hands on her back, patting it gently up and down.
After a while, Gu Chaoxi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and looked sideways at him: "Ayan, I'm fine."
Pei Yan could always see her emotional changes so accurately and comfort her in time, which often meant that she was comforted before she even had time to feel deeply sad.
Gu Chaoxi felt a little helpless, but also fortunate.
The two came down from the second floor. Most of the lights in the hall on the first floor had been turned off, and only the light at the door was still on.
The lamp was just above the main entrance, illuminating a small area at the entrance very clearly.
Walking through the dim hall, the two men reached the door.
You can see the eighth district from the dormitory door, and the lights at the door of the eighth district are still on.
It seemed that someone was sleeping on the table in the pavilion, and everything around was quiet.
The door to the laboratory had already been closed.
The restaurant next to it was also completely dark. Looking inside through the restaurant's glass, one could only vaguely see the outlines of the tables and chairs.
The two walked from the large open space towards the eighth area. When they were about to approach the door, the person in the pavilion suddenly woke up.
Almost instantly, he reached out and picked up the stick next to him, looking at the person coming over with a vigilant look.
When he saw it was Gu Chaoxi, the man was obviously relieved.
But when his gaze shifted to Pei Yan's face, the stick in his hand was clenched tighter.
Pei Yan shook the work badge of District 8 hanging on his chest, with a sharp look between his brows.
"Let's go check the current condition of the experiment."
The situation in the eighth zone is always changing rapidly, and the aftereffects of the drugs may cause something at night.
Obviously, the man knew this.
So he nodded and let it go.
After Gui Chaoxi and Pei Yan walked in from the door, the man quickly fell asleep on the table again.
There was no light on in the hall of Zone 8; it was completely dark.
Gu Chaoxi recalled what he had seen during the day, leaned against the wall to find the location of the switch, and turned on the light above his head.
This light is enough to illuminate the way to the stairs.
Pei Yan glanced around and saw that there were indeed many cabinets filled with documents.
When he reached the stairs, Gu Chaoxi subconsciously looked up before walking down.
Pei Yan followed her downstairs.
When you are about to reach the basement level, there is a switch on the left side of the wall.
When the switch was turned on, the entire underground floor lit up.
Faintly, one could hear groans coming from inside.
The two looked at each other and walked inside together.
The two people in the first cell were asleep, and then it was the second cell.
The man seen during the day was now curled up on the ground, only one step away from the iron fence.
Another man was squatting beside him, with one hand on his knee and his right hand on the man's forehead.
He didn't seem surprised that someone came here so late at night. He just reached out and pulled the man's clothes on the ground up.
As if she had no choice, she simply sat next to the man and looked at him.
It was only when the two people standing in front of him did not leave that the man raised his head.
Not those people from District 6, he could tell.
"What are you guys doing here?"
Although I am just a test subject, I still know where I belong.
"Look at his condition."
As Gu Chaoxi spoke, he squatted down in front of the iron fence and pointed at the curled up man.
"Is he okay?"
The squatting man seemed to be trying to figure out whether Gu Chaoxi had any ill intentions. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth.
"He was given a new medication by Annina, it's not very good, and he's been in pain for a few hours."
Almost half an hour after taking the medicine, the pain all over the body began.
Not a physical pain, more like a pain in the bones.
This feeling made the man feel extremely uncomfortable no matter what posture he was in, and he even felt nauseous.
Later on, as I got tired of the tossing and turning, I would fall asleep, and then be woken up by the pain again.
so repeatedly.
In fact, the man’s sleep lasted less than half an hour each time, but it felt particularly long to him.
"Do you have a way to end his suffering?"
the squatting man asked her.
"Were you selected from Endili?" Gu Chaoxi did not answer his question, but asked him a new question instead.
The people behind him were curled up on the ground and asleep, and did not wake up.
The man glanced back, then turned back.
"Yes, this is our first drug trial in Endili. Only those who survived are eligible to enter the second drug trial."
