Salvation and redemption

Vargus got rid of Klein and came to the depths of the jungle, where the leaves grew more lushly, only appearing to be uneven and densely packed, as if he had reached the end of the jungle, but at this time Vargus Still walking forward, he pushed aside numerous obstacles, and saw a dark cave in front of him, and Vargas walked towards the cave without hesitation.

The cave was very muddy, and Vargus stepped in it with one foot deep and one shallow, making a sticky sound, which resounded in the cave, making the cave appear unexpectedly wide, and although the damp water vapor from the walls of the cave could not be seen, But it can almost be felt through the skin. There seems to be a faint light coming from the cave. Although it is not enough to illuminate the entire space, it is enough for people to distinguish the direction, and Vargus has obviously been here more than once. He is very clear. How should I go and where should I go.

After a while, Vargas arrived at the destination, and there was a small red dot in front of him. He stopped before the red dot, then stretched out his hand and pressed the red dot, and waited until the red dot turned into a yellow dot , then spoke, "I have followed your instructions, please tell me the next set of passwords."

It turned out that this was actually the indicator light of a monitor installed. Vargas’ face and voice were transmitted to the other end of the communication through the monitor. After waiting for a while, the sound came through the amplifier installed on the monitor. When it reached him, it was an extremely old and feeble voice. The voice was low and slow, "Well done, the numbers in the next set of passwords are 1, 1, 1, 3."

Vargas immediately wrote down this set of passwords, and he pressed the indicator light again to turn off the monitor, and the monitor returned to the standby state again.

After getting the password, Vargas quickly left the cave.

-----------------------------------------

Klein, who followed Shi Tao back to the orphanage, was sitting in Shi Tao's room. He wanted to ask Shi Tao when he began to suspect Vargas, but he felt that it was not appropriate to ask such a question, so he kept silent. , but Shi Tao lit a candle and sat down, then asked Klein, "My father hired you to look for me, did you ask him why I left?"

Klein was taken aback, nodded and replied, "I asked, your father just said that he was too strict with you."

Shi Tao was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said again, "That's all he can say."

Klein didn't know why, but Shi Tao said, "Actually, he knows the reason why I came to this orphanage. He hired Vargas not to find me, but to monitor me."

After saying this, Klein was really shocked, "Spying on you? Why?"

"Because I discovered a secret that he had been hiding for a long time and should not have been discovered by me." Shi Tao replied.

"Secret?" Klein looked at Shi Tao, and he suddenly realized that Shi Tao probably knew more than he thought, and also had more insight, but he became the most ignorant person.

When Shi Tao talked about his father, his feelings seemed rather indifferent. "Father" seemed to be just a noun to him, but it was not indifferent. To him, all living beings were equal. He got sick, he was very sick, and he was looking for a cure, which is why he started a pharmaceutical company."

Klein couldn't help recalling the only time he met Shi Tao's father. Although he couldn't see the face of the other party, he could only hear the voice, but the voice was too old and looked very tired. At this time, when Shi Tao said, Then I understood the reason for this.

"You mean, he's actually been researching the medicine to save himself?" Klein asked accordingly.

Shi Tao nodded, "He is not only studying medicine, but also researching other treatment options."

"What is it?" Klein asked immediately.

Shi Tao fell silent, and the candles were burning meticulously in the room. At this time, Shi Tao's thoughts were dim, his eyes were burning, and there was a deep night outside the window, and the silence began to spread in the room. Klein looked at Shi Tao, and suddenly felt that this The answer should be very unusual. After an unknown amount of time, Shi Tao spit out two words:

"clone."

Klein was startled, and he repeated unconsciously, "...K, Long..." After a while, he asked Shi Tao, "You said that your father studied cloning to treat his own diseases? "

Shi Tao nodded, and Klein asked again, "What kind of disease is that?"

Shi Tao said at this time, "The less you know about these things, the better. The reason why I tell you is not to ask you to investigate, but to hope that you will not get involved in it."

"Why?" Klein couldn't help asking again.

Shi Tao shook his head and said, "Because you are likely to be in danger."

"But I want to help you." Klein blurted out.

Shi Tao was silent again because of this sentence, but his eyes showed obvious disapproval. This made Klein, who was staring at him, wake up after a while. Yes, how could he forget? If he was injured or something happened to this matter, Shi Tao would still be implicated in the end. Shi Tao was soft-hearted and didn't say it too bluntly, but in the end, he couldn't let it go, but it also made Clay Feeling embarrassed, he couldn't help saying, "Then I can't do anything? Then what's the use of staying?"

Shi Tao shook his head and said gently, "Why is it useless? You found Andy, and you took good care of these children. I should thank you."

Klein never felt that there was anything worthy of his gratitude. He shook his head and didn't know what to say for a moment. Keeping himself away from this matter, he hesitated again, not knowing whether he should ask, he couldn't help hesitant to speak, this expression was seen through by Shi Tao at a glance, and said, "You want to ask about those five children? "

Klein nodded. He already knew that all of this was far from simple. It was very likely that Shi Tao would say something more shocking later. He subconsciously prepared his mind and waited for Shi Tao to continue.

"I found out that my father was researching cloning, and he used the children of this orphanage as experiments. I came here to protect the children as much as possible, so he sent Vargas to monitor my every move." Shi Tao said After explaining such an important secret in an extremely simple manner, Klein suddenly realized the seriousness of the incident, "Then, those children who got lost..."

Shi Tao nodded and said, "They have already been transferred, because this experiment started a long time ago, and the babies who were experimented have grown up, and the experimental base is on this island."

"Could it be... that you were...killed because you investigated too deeply?" Klein couldn't help thinking, but Shi Tao shook his head and said, "I was killed for another reason."

"What's the reason?" Klein asked immediately.

Shi Tao didn't seem to want to say anything, so he said, "No matter what, Klein, I want you to promise me that unless you decide to leave this island, you will never leave the orphanage, okay?"

Klein did not immediately agree, but asked, "You just said that the experimental base is on this island, where is that?"

Shi Tao still didn't answer, but Klein immediately thought of it this time, and said, "Is that castle-like villa built by the mine owner?"

"Are you willing to promise me? Before the matter is resolved, take care of the children here for me." Shi Tao did not answer, but asked again. He stared at Klein, and the earnestness in his eyes made Klein almost unbearable. Refused, which made Klein ask with some difficulty, "What do you mean by 'before the matter is resolved'? How do you try to resolve it?"

Shi Tao fell silent, and soon after, he smiled, but Klein couldn't ignore the strong sadness in his smile, so he heard Shi Tao say that sentence again, as if to remind Klein again and again. Rein, but it sounds like he is reminding himself:

"Have you forgotten that I will be fine, no matter who dies, I will not die, why should you worry about me?"

Klein couldn't help being speechless at this sentence.
