Chapter 1037

Gradually, he could see more doors, office doors, gates closing corridors, and some doors of unknown use.

Without exception, the doors were all locked.

He gathered his courage, returned to the dead, and retrieved their keys and security access cards.

Before long, he was almost able to move freely through the entire site ruins, leaving only a few high-security control rooms and containment units that still refused him entry.

But... what about Dr. Hughes?

Adam looked through the identity information of those dead, and determined that Dr. Bartholomew Hughes was not among them, but the entire site was empty, and no traces of human activity could be found.

"Has Dr. Hughes evacuated?"

This possibility not only existed, but was also very large.

This site was devastated to this extent, obviously it was hit by 3125, no longer safe, not a suitable shelter and hiding place.

Then, Adam's mission became finding clues to reveal the doctor's true whereabouts.

He needed information.

Adam collected mobile phones, laptops, and various terminals.

Like many novices who first touched the Foundation, Adam spent a lot of time reading entries without knowing it.

The Foundation's document style is unique, always describing the most incredible anomalous phenomena in the most plain, objective, and calm language.

Even after different degrees of deletion, these records are still irresistibly addictive. 5.7

Dr. Hughes's name appeared frequently in many entries; he seemed to have multiple cross-research expertise and often served as the designer of containment facilities.

Adam carefully recorded all information about the doctor's career.

Then he accidentally clicked on the personal file created by the Foundation for the doctor... almost everything he had just written was here.

However, there was a huge gap in this file.

The last record of Dr. Hughes's actual activities stopped in 2007, followed by a few strokes in 2010, and then an anonymous note separated by several years:

【It seems that those who knew Dr. Hughes's fate also met the same thing.】

【End of file】

Adam stared at this unhelpful text, his brows furrowed.

"Like a riddle..."

As a crossword enthusiast, Adam believed that a secret agency like the Foundation shouldn't leave clues that needed to be decrypted, but should give clear, explicit, and direct instructions.

In other words, the person who wrote this sentence was issuing a warning:

"Don't go looking for Dr. Hughes, unless you want to end up the same way."

But he had to look for Dr. Hughes... what fate could be more miserable than being enslaved by 3125?

Being killed by His minions?

That would be a relief, a salvation from waking up from this eternal, hopeless nightmare.

Adam leaned back in his chair, staring deep into the ceiling.

No, this sentence was not just a warning; this sentence also contained a hint—

"Dr. Hughes can be found; someone has already done it."

Adam whispered silently.
