"Sir, don't you go and take a rest? Or have you discovered anything?"
Zhang Zhe pointed to the screen playback and asked, "Did the Dark Knights leave in a different direction than when they came?"
When Tang Chu heard this, he also raised his head and looked at the video playback.
"seems like it."
Zhang Zhe said: "The direction they left is leading to the mine."
Come on! I won’t even get a good night’s sleep!
Tang Chu felt that Zhang Zhe was too nervous and could relate everything to the Night Owl organization in the mining area.
"Sir, I think this may be just a coincidence. After all, trucks cannot pass through space cracks. It is normal for the Dark Knights to choose another way to return to the prison shelter."
Zhang Zhe remained silent.
After a moment of silence, he continued: "I need to immediately form an emergency investigation team to conduct emergency investigation in the mine area."
Tang Chu was excited and saluted: "Yes! Sir!"
…
Outside the Gobi desert.
Fang Heng directed the zombies to move back and forth, loading the freshly excavated ore into trucks in batches.
The core ore area in the mine had been mined half an hour ago.
Fang Heng was not willing to let the remaining low-level ore go to waste and continue to let the zombies dig it.
Seeing so many ores, Lucia's eyes sparkled and she praised: "Fang Heng, you are so awesome. They are all the highest-grade blue crystal mines. Did you explore and excavate them all by yourself? How amazing."
"That's not the case. The exploration aspect is all thanks to Mo Jiawei. He found the exact location of the mineral spot."
Lucia's mood suddenly worsened, and her eyes on Mo Jiawei became sharp.
"Cough cough cough... No, no, it has nothing to do with me."
Mo Jiawei, who was drinking water at the side, suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, choked on the water, and coughed violently.
"Lucia, I need to trouble you to make a few trips in person to return the ore to the Dark Knights contact point. These ores are very precious and I don't feel reassured."
Lucia felt sweet in her heart.
She felt that this was Fang Heng's trust in her.
"Well, okay, I will definitely protect this batch of supplies."
"Take a few teams of Lickers over there, and be careful along the way. It's best to make a circle around the shelter, so as not to be discovered by the Federation people."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Lucy Adam's face immediately became solemn, and her eyes filled with murderous intent.
If they are discovered by federal people on the road, then kill them all!
[Tip: Your zombie group has completed the excavation of the scheduled passage area].
Hey! The laboratory passage has been dug!
Fang Heng's eyes lit up when he saw the game prompt.
"The passage to the secret laboratory has been dug. Let's go and take a look first."
After pouring down a bottle of coffee, Fang Heng and Lucia turned around and walked along another excavated passage to explore.
After walking along the newly excavated passage for nearly twenty minutes, an open area finally emerged in front of us.
Fang Heng was the first to step into it.
This is an abandoned laboratory that has been transformed!
Most of the laboratory has been renovated, and the building has been integrated into the cave. Various experimental equipment can be seen scattered inside.
After confirming that it was safe, the three of them walked into the laboratory and explored each other to look for clues.
The original entrance to the laboratory has been sealed.
Fang Heng smelled the residual smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
It seems that just like the mining area, the entrance to the passage was also blown up.
Fang Heng thought about it, walked to the main control machine on the side, and pressed it casually.
[Tip: It is detected that the player has relevant mechanical maintenance skills].
[Tip: The current machinery is too old and cannot be repaired].
[Tip: The current machine lacks power and cannot be turned on].
The machinery can no longer be turned on due to old age and lack of power.
"Huh?"
Fang Heng noticed a white human skeleton on the seat next to him.
The skeleton also has the logo of the Meteorite Corporation on its coat.
Fang Heng stepped forward and took out a tattered notebook from the pocket of the skeleton's clothes.
[Hint: You have obtained an item - Researcher's Notes].
Fang Heng tried to open and check the notebook.
Due to the long time, the notebook has become rotten and many contents cannot be viewed.
crystallized body.
They are a very special kind of life form.
We have conducted big data comparisons and cannot find any known life form on earth that has a similar structure to crystallized bodies.
Most of the time, the crystalline body is in a dormant state, maintaining extremely low vital signs.
They seem to live forever.
Dr. Dishuo was the first scientist to discover the existence of crystallized bodies, and he is the most authoritative in the study of crystallized bodies.
He believed that humans could find a way to immortality from crystallized bodies.
Similarly, he also believed that crystallization and blue crystal ore were closely related.
I am very happy to join Dr. Dishuo's research group.
Under his leadership, we spent three years finding the azure mine in the desert.
Meteorite Company decided to build a laboratory here for research.
I can finally get what I want!
…
Dr. Dishuo is not wrong!
We discovered that this kind of life form relies on absorbing the power of blue crystals to survive and purify.
In the early stage, when there is a lack of blue crystals, they will be very docile and not aggressive, and they will be dormant most of the time.
They can sense the presence of nearby blue crystals.
Dr. Dishuo decided to conduct an experiment and try to use blue crystals to feed the crystallized body.
…
As the number of swallowed blue crystals increases, the crystallized body gradually becomes uncontrollable.
…
Dr. Dishuo's physical condition has been very bad these past two days.
Everyone was talking about him, and rumors were circulating that he fell ill due to overwork from all his hard work on experiments.
But I know that the truth is not like this.
Dr. Dishuo is using himself to conduct human experiments on crystallized bodies.
The experiment ran into trouble.
Dr. Dishuo began to fall into coma and lost consciousness.
We continued to conduct test experiments according to the experimental plan he left.
I hope we can find a way to recover Dr. Dishuo.
…
Something happened anyway.
The crystallized body sent to Meteor Company went berserk.
I heard that the crystallites destroyed the entire main company building.
We received an internal order from Meteorite Company to stop all research on crystallized bodies, destroy all crystallized bodies, and eliminate all traces of research on crystallized bodies.
They even wanted to destroy Mr. Dishuo's body on the spot!
I feel like Meteorite is scared.
They are in a hurry to clean everything up!
I understand the dangers of crystallization.
But... the research has obviously reached this point!
Destroy them all?
I can not be reconciled!
I never agree with them doing this!
Mr. Dishuo is not dead! He is just dormant!
I will never allow them to interrupt Mr. Dishuo's experiment.
I believe that one day, the experimental body will be restarted.
…
"Tch, another madman..."
Fang Heng closed the notebook and muttered quietly to himself.
He called to Lucia and Mo Jiawei, "Hey, have you heard of this crystalline thing?"
The two of them turned around and gave Fang Heng a blank expression.
