In Kason’s research base.
Kara didn’t know how long she had been asleep. When she opened her eyes in confusion, she found that she was powerless, but she was hungry.
Slowly getting up, she walked to the door and slammed it.
“Anyone here? I’m so hungry. Are you going to starve me?”
Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared on the door, and Kara was so scared that she took a few steps back. Her face turned pale.
“Miss Kara, I need to check on you before giving you food,” the robot said in a flat tone.
Kara gritted her teeth and remembered a sentence that James said to her.
To survive, she had to compromise.
She felt that she had no strength. It was almost impossible to get out on her own. She had to reach out and let the robot check on her.
“I want to eat fruits. Kiwi fruit, grapes, apples, and cherry. Oh, it would be best if I can have some noodles.”
The robot checked her and confirmed that she was healthy. It turned around expressionlessly as if it didn’t listen to Kara’s words at all.
“I’m talking to you. It’ll be so rude if you don’t answer.” Kara quickened her pace and walked to it.
The robot’s big eyes rolled and it scanned her whole body. “If you want food, come with me.”
Only then was Kara satisfied. As she followed it out, she was observing the surroundings.
There were many rooms here, and some sounds could be heard from inside the rooms. They should be from the people who were captured by Kason to do experiments.
Kason had captured so many people, but why did no one look into this? Kara felt strange.
Kara followed the robot to a small canteen. The chef was also a robot. Kara saw that the ingredients were fresh and happily walked to the robot.
“Can you cook noodles? I want to eat noodles, and I want them to be a little spicy. It’ll be best if you can make me a fruit salad.”
Anyway, she could not escape now, so she took this opportunity to recuperate.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
The chef robot was polite and began to prepare the ingredients.
Kara found a place to sit and found that there was a woman sitting diagonally opposite. The woman was thin and her hair was rough. She was eating with her head lowered.
Kara turned to look at the robot following her. “Are you my butler?”
“No, I am an offensive robot. If you want to leave, I will punish you. Under special circumstances, I will kill you,” the robot replied seriously.
The corner of Kara’s mouth twitched as she propped up her lower jaw and stared at the chef that was cooking noodles.
She looked down and suddenly noticed that there was a red vein under her skin. She rolled up her sleeves and the redness spread to her shoulders.
She could not see it as the redness extended. She wanted to look at herself in the mirror but found that none was available.
She rubbed the red area. The red vein wasn’t gone even if she almost broke her skin.
Kara remembered that before she fainted, Kason had injected a tube of medicine into her body. Was it the cause?
What kind of medicine would make her look so strange?
Just as Kara was deep in thought, the chef robot brought over the noodles and a plate of fruit salad.
Kara smelled the aroma of the noodles, but she did not care so much about it. She had to stuff herself first.
After eating the noodles and the fruit salad, Kara caressed her belly in satisfaction. She wanted to rest a little longer, but the robot beside her warned her.
Her lunchtime was over and if she did not return to her room, it would punish her.
Kara frowned and looked at it coldly. She was curious about how it would punish her.
The robot said it three times. Seeing that Kara didn’t move, it grabbed Kara’s wrist and electrocuted Kara.
It was an electric shock.
Kara wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn’t no matter what. Her face was distorted from the pain, and her lips turned black.
“Miss Kara, please follow the rules and return to your room.” The robot let go of her after finishing the punishment.
Kara looked at the bruise on his wrist and left.
When Kara passed the woman, she saw that the thin woman was walking with her head lowered. She didn’t know what she was thinking, and that woman’s hair covered half her face.
Kara looked at the woman and found that there was a mole on her face. Kara did not care.
Kara returned to her room and looked at the white walls and the incandescent lights. She did not know whether it was day or night. She frowned in frustration.
She wondered how James was doing now. Did he know that she was captured?
Thinking about it, she fell asleep again.
After a long time, Kara was awakened by a burst of laughter. She opened her eyes in confusion and walked to the door. Kara listened to the laughter from the small hole by the door.
From the laughter, Kara could tell that the woman’s voice was sweet, and she didn’t know what she was laughing about. The woman laughed for a while and then sobbed.
That woman was desperately crying, and Kara felt distressed when hearing it.
Kara tilted her head to listen again. Suddenly, she realized something. She seemed to have heard this voice.
Where?
Kara frowned and tried to recall it. However, she was a little tired and her mind was a mess. She couldn’t figure out what to do.
She didn’t know if it was because of the drug, but the harder she thought about it, the stronger her headache became.
“It hurts.”
She leaned against the door and sat on the ground, but the ground was cold. She couldn’t bear it and went back to the bed, covering herself with the quilt.
Not long after, she fell asleep again.
When Kara woke up again, the robot took the initiative to open the door. Kara looked at it in confusion.
“Where are you taking me?”
“Go wash up and eat.” After the robot finished speaking, it stopped talking and let her follow it out.
Kara nodded blankly, then obediently followed behind it.
Kara didn’t know if it was a coincidence, but she met the woman from yesterday again.
The woman was still walking forward with her head down. Her hair was messy, but it could be seen that she often washed it. The color of her clothes had faded, making her face look paler.
Although Kara didn’t know why this woman was locked up, she felt sorry for her.
The robot led her to a bathroom and gave her ten minutes for the shower. Her food would be thrown away if she didn’t finish it within the time limit.
Kara was helpless and quickly took a shower.
When Kara was showering, she found that the woman was next to her. She knocked on the wooden planks of the cubicle tentatively.
“Excuse me, what is your name?” Kara asked.
She didn’t know if the woman could not hear anything or speak, but there was no response for a long time.
Kara realized that the time was almost up and quickly came out, but that woman had left.
While eating, Kara wanted to sit with the woman but was stopped by the robot.
Kara thought of the way the robot punished her and had to sit down and eat.
The food here was rich, but Kara was in a bad mood and put down her fork without eating much.
The robot guarding the place saw that Kara only ate one-third of the food and coldly warned, “In the next 24 hours, you can only have one meal. So, you must eat all of it.”
Kara frowned and wanted to ask why. The robot held her wrist and electrocuted her.
Kara twitched in pain. She vomited everything she had just eaten.
“Miss Kara, if you don’t eat again, I will punish you again.”
Kara didn’t know what to say.
