morning.
Fu Continent a research institute.
Sixth floor, West District, Isolation Room No. 1.
This is a structure similar to a small office, with round tables, projections, and many unnamed equipment. Originally, this isolation room is usually not activated. Only when encountering some major scientific research breakthroughs or decisions, the relevant personnel will be isolated for the sake of confidentiality, or some meetings involving important matters will sometimes be held here. It is not an isolation room in the literal sense, but now, something out of place in the isolation room is a simple single bed in the corner, which looks a little out of place with the surrounding equipment and conference table.

There is no signal, no sunlight, and even the door is bulletproof.
But now, a person has been living here for three full months. In these three months, she has never stepped out of the isolation room. She eats and sleeps here 24 hours a day.
Tear.
There was a soft sound, and several documents were torn apart. His movements seemed a little irritable. Under the light of the isolation room, a beautiful woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat on a leather chair, threw the torn documents in her hands on the table, and exhaled heavily, looking very depressed.
Three months!
She has been locked up for three months!
Even if you think about it, you know that this taste is definitely unpleasant!
Zhong Lizhen calmed down his mind, forced himself to calm down, then pushed the frame of the mirror, stood up with a stern face, walked slowly to the door, and pressed the communicator above.
Didi didi.
A voice suddenly came from the other end.
"Hello, Professor Zhong." It was a male voice, also speaking in English.
"Tom, I want to go out and bask in the sun." Zhong Lizhen said.
"Sorry Professor Zhong, you cannot leave the isolation room for the time being."
"Why? It's been three months! You have restricted my personal freedom!"
"This is not something I can decide, Professor Zhong. You are my teacher. Many people in the institute have also received your guidance. I also want to help you, but I really can't do anything."
"Tom. I just need to go out and take a look. It only takes ten minutes!"
"Really not, especially... especially now."
"Then you forward the communication to the people above. I'll talk to them!"
"It can't work now, outside... um..." The Power of Time and Wealth 1124
"What's going on out there? Tom, tell me!"
The voice on the other end paused and suddenly lowered his voice a lot, "I don't know what happened. Your isolation room has a soundproof layer and I can't hear it, but on our side... there were a lot of gunshots from the perimeter dozens of minutes ago, probably hundreds of them. I don't know the specific situation."
"Gunshots?"
"Yes, teacher."
"What now?"
"A lot of soldiers were deployed, but now there are no more."
"I know, I want to go out for a walk. I haven't been exposed to the sun and fresh air for too many days. My body can't hold it anymore. Please contact me as soon as possible."
"Okay. I can try, but you also know that the superiors will definitely not agree. At least within a year, your office and residence will be..."
After hanging up the communicator, Zhong Lizhen didn't look very good, and he was also thinking about what Tom said before.
Gunshots?
Who is it?
The one who came to save her??
But there are so many troops stationed here, how can they come in to save themselves?
Zhong Lizhen has worked in this research institute for ten years, and naturally knows more about this place than anyone else. She is also worried about the comrades who came to rescue her, because she knows that unless an army is used to rescue her, she may not be able to leave here in the future. But anyone with a brain will know that, together, Of course, it was impossible for Heguo to mobilize troops to invade the institute on a large scale, so she...Zhong Lizhen knew it very well, but the clearer she saw, the more desperate she felt. She wanted to return to her country, to serve her country, instead of being locked up here for months and years without even being able to see the sun. To her, this place was equivalent to a prison!
As soon as he sat on the chair, Zhong Lizhen's face darkened.
Beep beep, the communicator with the password button next to the door rang.
Zhong Lizhen looked at it, slowly stood up, walked over, and connected.
"Professor Zhong, are the last research data ready to be released?" This time it was a middle-aged man's voice, speaking English. "There is a test that will be used in the near future. Can you please hurry up?" It seemed to be very polite, but it was always a bit oppressive and threatening.
Zhong Lizhen pushed up his glasses, "Since you have restricted my personal freedom, I have no obligation to do anything for you. You can do your own research!"
"Professor Zhong! This research is the hard work of all of us! Don't do it because..."
"Why don't I want it? I want to go out now! Get far away from here!"
"You must think clearly. This research and test are completed within a time limit. If the first test fails by then, then you..." The Power of Time and Wealth 1124
"I don't need you to 'worry' about me! Such a chilling country! Will I, Zhong Lizhen, still work for him? Just go ahead and dream!"
"..."
"Is there anything else?"
"Then what do you want?"
"I want to get out! Now! Right now!"
"This will definitely not work."
"Then don't say anything! I would rather let my research belly be stillborn! I would rather let it sink into the sea for the rest of its life! I will not let your research succeed! The most critical data has been deleted by me! Without me, you will not make any progress in this research within ten years!"
"Professor Zhong!" The man got angry, "Why are you so ignorant of flexibility?"
Zhong Lizhen said with a sullen face, "I, Zhong Lizhen, don't have the word "flexibility" in my dictionary! You have known me for more than a year or two! You should know this!"
"Forget it, you can think about it again. It's almost lunch time. I'll go over to talk to you in person in a while. I hope you can think clearly by then. Anyway, I have said something ugly before. If the next experiment fails to meet expectations and there is no progress, your life will definitely not be easy. In addition, last time you proposed to return to the Republic more than once, the superior's patience with you has reached its limit!"
"I want to see how you make it difficult for me!"
"If you still insist on having your own way, even if you are the best scientist in the institute, you will see that they will not be polite to you!"
"Okay, then I'll wait!"
After just a few words, Zhong Lizhen hung up the communication as soon as he pressed the button.
Returning to his bed and sitting down, Zhong Lizhen took a deep breath. The idea of going home became stronger and stronger after the conversation just now!
She wants to return home!
She must find a way to go back!
what to do? Will anyone come to save him?
But the institute is so tightly guarded, who can get in? Who can save her?
Could it be that the Republic... has given up on her??
