The entrance to Dr. Kevin's cave laboratory is built on the edge of a cliff.
Several outposts were also established on the periphery.
The Dark Knights team arrived at the edge of the cave entrance and began to organize their equipment.
Everyone prepared to put on radiation protection suits and enter the cave to explore.
"Hello, I am Zhang Yan, captain of the Paradise Island security team. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The captain of the mercenary team, Zhang Yan, led an NPC team over and shook hands with Fang Heng and others.
"I used to be a mercenary hired by Meteor Company to protect Dr. Kevin's laboratory. Now we only work for ourselves."
"Can you tell us about the cave?"
Zhang Yan nodded.
"About three months ago, we received news that two islanders were missing on the island."
"We immediately set up a search team to search the island."
"At first we did not connect the disappearance with the cave."
"On the day after the islanders disappeared, the two soldiers guarding the cave also disappeared one after another."
"That night I stepped up patrol inspections."
"At night, the soldiers discovered the monster while patrolling and sounded the alarm."
Chen Yu asked: "Isn't it a zombie?"
"I'm not sure if they are mutated zombies. They move very fast. They may have been frightened by the sound of guns and started to flee."
"We chased them all the way until we saw them hiding in the cave of Dr. Kevin's laboratory."
When everyone heard this, they fell into a brief silence.
"After that, we set up a 24-hour security guard at the entrance and tried to seal the entire cave, but the effect was not good. In addition to this entrance, the cave has other exits that we have not yet discovered."
Lucia suggested: "Would you like to go in with us and take a look? We have prepared a few extra sets of protective clothing."
"No, we have never entered the cave when Dr. Kevin was here, so we can't help you."
Zhang Yan motioned to the combat team behind him with his eyes, "We will meet you outside."
"good."
Lucia did not force herself and signaled the three accompanying Dark Knights squads to stay put.
"Let's start too."
Fang Heng said and took a syringe from Zhang Zhe's hand.
[Item: ΞΆ-active protease injection].
Description: After injection, the basic physical constitution will be improved by 4.5 within 5 hours.
nice one!
Fang Heng directly injected a needle into his arm, and then took out several bottles of medicine from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
These medicines were defective products accidentally developed by Qiu Yaokang when he was developing powerful genetic medicines.
"Here, this is a medicine developed by our prison."
Description: Within 3 hours after taking it, basic physical fitness will be increased by 5 points, strength will be reduced by 5 points, and agility will be reduced by 5 points (the lowest attribute value will be 3 points).
This attribute...is a bit of a trap.
Everyone took the potion, looked at it, and drank it in large quantities.
After putting on protective clothing, Fang Heng tried to move his body on the spot.
The heavy protective clothing made movement somewhat inconvenient.
Seeing that others were still putting on their equipment, Fang Heng walked up to Zhang Yan and handed him a pack of Oreo biscuits.
"Brother, it is not a long-term solution for me to stay on this island. If the islanders find new shelters in the future, are you still going to stay on the island?"
Zhang Yan frowned and thought for a moment.
"Since the end of the world, the food our mercenary group left on the island has been quickly consumed. We have been able to survive only by relying on the food provided by the islanders."
"In return, we will protect these islanders until they find a safe place."
Have the opportunity!
Pack and take away together!
Listening to what Zhang Yan said, Fang Heng felt that this wave was almost stable.
"My sanctuary is willing to accept these islanders. If possible, after the dangers in the cave are cleared, I will find a way to provide them with more food and resources to build the island."
Zhang Yan looked at Fang Heng in surprise.
"My sanctuary needs some experienced mercenaries. I believe these islanders also need you. I hope you can stay and join my sanctuary."
"If you can really do it, I'll consider it."
While talking, everyone in Lucia was already ready.
"let's go."
Fang Heng and Lucia led the team at the front to explore the cave.
Stepping into the cave, a row of messages immediately flashed across Fang Heng's eyes.
[Tip: You have entered a special area and are affected by special radiation. Your blood volume will continue to decrease, and when the radiation value accumulates to a certain level, you will enter a fainting state].
[Tip: Your current basic physical attribute is 40, and you are immune to 90% of radiation effects. The protective clothing you are wearing can additionally resist 50% of radiation effects, and you are currently affected by 5% of radiation effects].
Fang Heng quickly glanced at the prompts.
"The radiation here is very strong, we must speed up."
There is no map of the passages inside the cave, so everyone can only feel their way forward by relying on feeling and flashlight lighting.
"There."
Following the traces of manual excavation, the group headed towards the passage on the right.
After going around and around for about a hundred or two hundred meters, an iron gate on the left side of the stone wall blocked the way.
Fang Heng was too lazy to waste time, so he directly switched the shotgun, aimed at the door lock and pressed the trigger.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang and the door lock was broken with a shotgun blast.
Fang Heng kicked open the iron door and stepped into the room.
It was pitch black.
Everyone shined flashlights into the room.
At first glance, Fang Heng saw several control machines in the corner.
"Look! What is that?"
Mo Jiawei saw something and shouted a warning.
Fang Heng immediately turned his head when he heard this.
"call out!!"
A black shadow flashed past Fang Heng's eyes.
Through his night vision ability, Fang Heng could clearly see what the thing looked like.
It has the same limbs and body as humans, but its whole body is dark brown and clings to the high rock wall.
Not like ordinary zombies.
"boom!"
Lucia reacted extremely quickly, raised her automatic rifle and fired.
"Snapped!"
The bullet accurately hit the monster's forelimb, splattering red blood.
It moved extremely fast, and after being injured, it quickly climbed into a small hole along the rock wall and disappeared.
Fang Heng frowned.
The monster moves a bit like a licker, with its limbs clinging to the wall and moving at high speed.
"What it is?"
"No, it was running too fast and I didn't see it clearly."
Mo Jiawei shook his head.
He didn't have the same night vision ability as Fang Heng and Lucia, but he happened to see a blurry shadow when he glanced at it with his flashlight.
Before he could use his detection skills, the monster had already disappeared.
"Be careful, it might be the monster the mercenaries saw."
Fang Heng's eyes swept around the room.
There are several broken holes in the top corners of the room, and there are signs of frequent entry and exit.
It seems that the monsters enter and exit the cave through these holes.
