141. No one is redeemed
Garrett stood in the mud, the dense branches of the towering trees completely blocked the sunlight, and darkness dominated the area.
He closed his eyes, listened to the sounds of death and decay, and felt the withering away of all things.
This is life, a never-ending cycle.
He pulled his feet out of the mud and kept moving forward in the endless mud, looking for the light that would never penetrate the leaves.
He didn't know how long it took in a daze, maybe a minute, maybe a whole year, before he suddenly realized that he was no longer in the mud.
There were a few white clouds in the blue sky, the sun was shining wantonly on the grass, and the fresh air rushed into his lungs from his nose, driving all the negative emotions out of his lungs.
This is a vast grassland.
A girl was standing behind him with an innocent smile.
"Lilith." Garrett turned his head and squatted down with a smile, stretching out his hands.
The cute blonde girl ran towards Garrett with laughter and ran into his arms like a gust of wind.
The young man lifted the girl's soft body and shook it in the air:
"It's flying."
The girl kept giggling as her father teased her.
"I really can't stand you two, father and daughter, don't go too far." A helpless female voice came from behind the man.
Garrett turned his head, and the tall beauty with the same hair color as his daughter was looking at the two of them lovingly.
Garrett touched his daughter's nose and laughed:
"Ignore her, let's continue playing."
The woman looked at the girl and her husband tenderly:
"Are you going to work soon?"
Garrett looked at Lilith with eyes full of love and reluctantly put her on the ground:
"I plan to quit this job after a while and take you to live in Wharton with me."
The woman asked in surprise:
"Have you found a job at Wharton?"
She couldn't wait for her husband to leave this city. All she felt here was depression, and her husband had to work until early in the morning every day before going home. It had been a long time since the family had fun together like today.
Garrett nodded and said:
"Of course, you don't have to worry about money."
He had a secret account in which he put the extra property he gained through his work, which was enough for them to buy an entire estate in Wharton and hire dozens of servants, which was even more than enough.
The only problem is how to get out of his current life, but he already has a good plan.
Not far from the three of them, there was an iron gate standing alone in the middle of the grass.
Garrett put on his work clothes with the help of his wife. Before saying goodbye, he gave his wife a passionate kiss and walked towards the lonely iron gate with firm steps.
He opened the door.
The darkness behind the door seemed to swallow up all the life that entered. The sound of electric current and metal collision roared behind it, and the frightened screams and wails of countless monsters could be heard continuously.
Behind me, white clouds float leisurely in the blue sky.
He walked in and closed the door.
At the moment when the door was closed, Garrett seemed to be able to see that the clear sky was instantly shrouded in gloomy dark clouds, the storm turned into a sharp blade, surrounding the two people in the middle, and a bright red that he was familiar with seemed to appear in the middle of the storm.
The man who closed the door instantly aged more than twenty years, his temples were slightly white, and his unkempt beard covered half of his face.
He put on the white coat handed over by his assistant and hid the clothes that his wife had put on for him in a place where he could not see.
The old man picked up a cup of coffee:
"How was it? How did the test on No. 4 go?"
Blonde female assistant holding documents:
"The results are not optimistic. The people we sent seemed to have angered it. It has killed thirteen volunteers."
The old man put down his coffee and asked doubtfully:
"Then why don't you continue testing? Are there not enough volunteers? Then recruit a few more. Anyway, for them, there is no difference between trying out new drugs and facing monsters. They still wish they could die.
, leaving a large legacy.”
Although the mortality rate was claimed to be approximately 40%, all volunteers who witnessed their experiments only died.
Of course, they will keep 60% of the volunteers for so-called "drug experiments", feed them a few pills that have no effect, give them enough money to squander for a while, and then send them away.
The female assistant denied:
"No, there are enough volunteers, but they are also needed for other experiments, and the deputy director said that your current behavior is just a waste of precious resources. Director, your mental state is not right..."
Garrett looked at the female assistant with bloodshot eyes:
"What did you say?"
The female assistant was silent for a while:
"nothing."
Garrett said without emotion:
"Continue the experiment."
The female assistant lowered her head and started giving instructions to the people around her.
With the sound of machinery running, a metal wall in front of Garrett stood slowly parted to both sides, and a transparent composite glass layer appeared in front of Garrett.
The most brilliant scientist in this facility couldn't help but breathe heavily.
A five-meter-tall ferocious monster squatted on the ground. Most of his body was covered with silver-white metal. The giant beast in a silver cage could not even make a slight struggle. Whenever his body surface
When a pale blue firefly-like light emerges, the machine will output a burst of high-voltage current, completely destroying his will to be free.
Following Garrett's instructions, the electromagnetic shackles on the huge monster continued to fall off, leaving only basic safety measures.
A two-person-high metal cylinder slowly stretched out from the ground. The cylinder opened the trap door, and a woman in white was standing in the center.
The moment the woman saw the giant beast, she screamed and squatted on the ground.
She covered her mouth and cried:
"What is this? I'm just here to experiment with new drugs. My baby is still waiting for me to get money to go home for treatment. Who are you?"
The woman looked at Garrett through the transparent material:
"You liar! Aren't you afraid that the police and the Knights will arrest you? Let me out quickly."
Garrett's eyes were cold:
"We are indeed experimenting with new drugs, but you are not the one taking the drugs."
The woman glanced at the motionless monster, plucked up the courage to stand up, and ran towards the transparent layer with bare feet. She slammed her body into the transparent layer, but could only be bounced back helplessly and fell to the ground.
Garrett found it a little funny. This was made of composite material that even monsters couldn't break. How could a mother who had been malnourished all year round break it?
The woman beat hard and shouted heartbreakingly:
"Let me out! Let me out! Lei is still waiting for me."
Garrett comforted:
"Don't worry, I guarantee that the money will be sent to your family according to the number on the contract."
There were two lines of painful tears on the woman's face:
"If I die here, my daughter won't have anyone to take care of her, and the money will only kill her."
Garrett showed condescension and pity, but what he said made his mother completely despair:
"Sorry, we are not responsible for after-sales service. I really want to sympathize with you, but this world never sympathizes with anyone."
