"You try to contact me again, maybe Li Tao didn't hear you just now."
Xu Wei whispered to Bai Xiaoke hopefully.
Several people who had been working together since the competition field were assigned to a small team as expected. At this time, four women and a masked man had just quietly sneaked into a small, snow-white building.
's park.
The liaison device - that is, the wristband that everyone in the Garden of Eden has, is a very valuable commodity for evolved people - there are more than ten teams, each team only has one liaison device. Under Xue Qu's guidance,
Each team is saved in a contact list.
Because Li Tao had to go to the Black Tower alone, they had to temporarily steal a contact device for her. After a long delay, they could not contact her anymore.
"How could you not hear something vibrating on your wrist?" Dong Hao retorted with her usual sharp attitude: "I think there may be an emergency... She'd better not run away!"
Xu Wei, who has an honest personality, immediately stopped talking in embarrassment. After a while, she said to Qiqi Aiai: "...Hey, you are thinking too much, how could you..."
Bai Xiaoke was squeezed among them and couldn't help but rolled her eyes. She glanced at Xue Ku and saw that the latter was silent and motionless. She didn't know what he was thinking.
After being stabbed several times in the face by her command, Xue Qu came back to his senses. She frowned and glanced at a few people: "We can only wait for Li Tao's reply about the matter at the Black Tower, don't think about it for the time being.
.But now—what should I do?”
The three women suddenly stopped talking. After a pause, Xu Wei glanced behind her with a slightly timid look.
A few people were hiding behind a small house. If they poked their heads out, they could have a panoramic view of the vast Eden Laboratory.
Although the name is "Laboratory", there are as many as ten buildings in the so-called laboratory park - square and square, with smooth surfaces and sharp edges. You can't tell where the doors are and where the windows are. I just don't know.
The building is made of whatever material. It glows with a faint metallic luster in the night, like a dozen emotionless mechanical beasts lying in the dark watching the world.
From time to time, a red line shoots down from the roof. It quickly penetrates the black air like a scan, crossing every inch of space - more than ten red lines are staggered and spread out, leaving almost no blind spots. Although the specific function of the red line is not known.
But no one dared to be shot by it rashly. Several people observed it outside for a while, and finally found such a hiding place.
But although this place is safe, it is not very useful: the nearest experimental building is at least a few hundred meters away. There is not much difference between staying here and staying on the road.
The mission of this team was originally to destroy a radiation protection suit factory. However, with the idea of trying their luck here and looking for Lin Sanjiu, several people were now in a dilemma.
"Destroy this place!" Bai Xiaoke raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of hostility. "Destroy what is not ruining? This is a bigger disaster than a factory!"
Lin Sanjiu once said not to let them come - Xu Wei just wanted to open her mouth to say something, glanced at her companions, and closed it again. For those who have experienced the New Year Fighting Competition, the Eden Laboratory simply gave them a physiological feeling.
The proposal was quickly passed unanimously.
"Listen carefully." During the pause of just a few seconds between the red rays, several people carefully and quickly approached a building. They listened to Xue Gu say: "There are many strange things in the laboratory, and there are some
Maybe we can use it, but some are specially designed to deal with us..."
As he spoke, he saw that the roof of the building had lit up red with a "swish", and the next second, the place where they were was about to be swept by the red ray - at the same time as several people's hearts were about to rush out, Bai Xiao
But he quickly took out the name tag he found on the guard at the door and tentatively scanned it on the smooth wall.
Lines of text immediately flashed out on the white metal-like texture, and the red rays stopped abruptly in front of this wall.
"Fortunately, that short-lived ghost didn't lie." Dong Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming the name tag information again, the wall finally slid open silently, revealing a foyer. Several women rushed in, weapons already in their hands.
As soon as you stepped onto the floor of the hall, the soft milky white light lit up one after another, reflecting the white and clean space with strange lines, as if the building was gradually coming to life.
A few people glanced at the empty hall, a little unsure of what this place was used for - Bai Xiaoke squatted down and touched the floor, and his tone suddenly became frustrated: "What kind of material is this... I don't know if it can be burned."
stand up?"
Regarding this simple and backward idea, Xue Qui immediately snorted: "A place as important as the laboratory must have an automatic fire extinguishing system - don't think about burning it, let's go into the corridor and take a look, everyone should be careful.
"
Even though she was just a "commoner" in the Garden of Eden, she knew more than these alien evolved people.
If you really want to compare, the laboratory building does look a bit like a hospital. It's just that it's different when you look inside through the glass on the door of the room - some are full of instruments, and some have several huge
The petri dish. Xue Qui turned around a few times, not knowing what he was looking for. Bai Xiaoke directed his face and had no choice but to follow her step by step.
"Strange, this place must have an alarm system, where is it..." she murmured to Bai Xiaoke.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud noise behind her, which almost shocked the hearts of the two of them. When they looked back, Xu Wei's two fists were glowing with a faint white light. Before Xue Jin could stop him, Dong Hao said "
Smash it again!" The fist hit the door again, with a bang, and this time the room was finally smashed open.
Xue Jin's heart suddenly sank, but the expected piercing alarm sound never sounded.
She looked at Bai Xiaoke in puzzlement, and Xu Wei and the other two had already walked in with excitement on their faces - just as they were about to follow, Xue Jin suddenly felt his body dwarfed and almost fell from behind.
Slide up and down.
"Oh, it took too long, and I'm so short!" Bai Xiaoke paused in his steps and clicked his tongue in regret. "Now he's less than 1.6 meters. It looks like he won't be able to hold on for another ten minutes...
"
Now it is more like being dragged than being carried - Xue Gu was anxious to go in and have a look, so he hurriedly responded: "Then you can call out another one -"
Bai Xiaoke rolled his eyes and said "How can it be so easy" in his mouth, but suddenly paused.
Because the corridor was strangely quiet at the moment.
If it weren't for the occasional broken pieces falling down with a "plop" sound, she would have almost thought that no one had been to this place. As for Xu Wei and the two people who had just entered the house, there was no sound at all. She and Xue Qu looked at each other and hurriedly
Rushing to the door of the room——
There was almost nothing in this room, except for a few round metal openings on the ceiling. There was only a thick layer of light yellow, transparent gelatin on the floor. What shocked the two of them the most was probably a few seconds ago.
My companions are still standing beside me.
Xu Wei and Dong Haoshang are still alive, but they can't even make a sound - both of them are wrapped in the same light yellow gelatin, as if they were sucked in by two big jelly. Dong
Well, the [Internal Revenue Service] and Xu Wei's [Impact Drill] were obviously activated. But this "jelly" did not cause any real damage to them, and was very flexible. It even trapped people and their abilities inside.
Seeing that their movements were getting slower and slower, and their expressions were getting harder and harder, Bai Xiaoke couldn't help it anymore - fortunately, she was very cautious, and after putting Xue Qui down, she commanded her face to rush in.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped on the glue, the thick sticky layer on the ground seemed to come alive immediately, quickly covering his feet. At the same time, the metal mouth on the ceiling immediately sprayed out
A lot of "jelly". In less than two seconds, the noodles were wrapped in the same shape.
Bai Xiaoke cursed secretly and snapped his fingers. The face in the "jelly" immediately shrank and became motionless.
At this time, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came out from nowhere: "...Oh? He's not an evolved person."
Another man added in a dull tone: "Maybe it's that one's ability."
Xue Jin turned his eyes blankly, followed the source of the sound and landed on a narrow black bar next to the door, and stopped moving. She smiled bitterly, and sighed to Bai Xiaoke in a low voice: "...the researcher here
, has been monitoring us."
This kind of telescreen, which is rarely seen in ordinary people, can not only receive sounds and images over a large area, but can also emit sounds. Another male researcher laughed and said, "We knew it from the moment you entered the park. You two are
I'm very lucky that it wasn't turned into amber."
Probably because the expressions on their faces at this time pleased him, he laughed and said: "You think we are doing experiments in ten buildings, but you are wrong. These ten buildings are our 'experiments'.
They can do a lot of things—"
"Hurry!" Before he could finish speaking, Bai Xiaoke suddenly roared, lowered his body and pushed Xue Qui away. A gust of wind emitting a faint white light narrowly passed over their heads, with a "boom".
It hit the wall with a loud sound, creating a shallow crater.
They were so familiar with this attack. They had seen Xu Wei use it many times while they were still on the field. Xu Wei, who was tightly wrapped in amber, looked at the door with a look of surprise and confusion, her hands still in the same position as before.
His appearance during the struggle remains unchanged.
The tasteless voice from the tablet sounded again: "...it seems that the ability reflected by the 'amber colloid' still has a delay of 0.6 to 0.9 seconds..."
"We'll talk about the data later. Let's arrest these two first."
"Polly, open door 22 and release the 'microbial smoke cloud'——"
Hearing a door behind him open with a bang, Bai Xiaoke, who had just escaped the blow, hurriedly picked up Xue Gu - but although she was strong enough, she was smaller than the other person, so she could only half-pull and half-pull her up.
Mopping the floor, taking every step to flee.
"Call another mian to come out!" Xue Gu looked at the lavender smoke filling the corridor behind him and drifting in the direction of the two of them, and shouted hurriedly: "If this continues, we will all die!"
"Are you kidding!" Bai Xiaoke was sweating, "Do you know what the conditions are for calling someone out? 'You must have a heart that wants to eat fresh meat'... In this case, you fucking call
I want a man?”
Xue Qu was so choked that he couldn't speak. Seeing that a purple smoke floating at the fastest speed had already arrived in front of his eyes, he hurriedly waved his hand and called out "Housewife Haunted by the Wrong Soul of the Sword", and a huge black shadow in the shape of an umbrella "waves"
"With a sudden movement, it jumped out of her wrist with great elasticity, blocking the space between Zi Yan and the two of them.
This was an extremely large mushroom, reaching up to the ceiling and touching the ground. It filled the corridor so much that for a while, the purple smoke didn't drift over at all.
"It's inevitable that people will think of the innocent souls you killed..." Bai Xiaoke looked back, dumbfounded.
"Don't think it's okay," Xue Jin's facial features were so painful that they were deformed, "this mushroom is also under attack, I can't hold it for long... By the way, you go to the toilet!"
"What are you doing there?"
"There must be no telescreen there. You can hide for a while!" Xue Qui said, while reluctantly taking out a knife from the lace of his arm with his mouth and holding it in his hand: "We'll think of a solution when we get there!"
After all, there are still two people trapped behind them, and they can't leave yet.
Although the researcher just now said that "the building is the experiment," they still use the experimental building as their workplace. Since it is a workplace, the bathroom is of course essential. After a while, the two found one and immediately
He escaped under the cover of mushrooms.
At the same moment when the mushrooms were put away, Bai Xiaoke hurriedly closed the door. From the crack in the door, a large piece of purple smoke could be seen, spreading forward as if it was alive, searching for traces of the two of them.
"Quickly, seal the crack in the door." Xue Qui said breathlessly.
Bai Xiaoke hurriedly took off her coat, took the toilet paper, and stuffed it under the door. Although she didn't know if it could block the purple smoke, these were the only things she had. In the middle of her work, she suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Here comes the communication——"
Her face turned pale and she showed the communicator on her wrist to Xue Gu. The wristband-like communicator was buzzing like a buzzer, and the pop-up light screen was filled with communications. Look carefully.
Look, every message is similar - "We encountered military police on the road! Who is nearby, come to the rescue!"
“Before we reached the target location, we were ambushed by military police!”
"Surrounded!"
Counting, at least seven or eight teams have sent several messages. This is not serious, but just thinking about those teams that have no news, Xue Qu's heart sinks straight into his stomach.
The two of them stared blankly at the light screen for a while, with bitterness in their mouths.
"What...what should I do?" Bai Xiaoke asked in amusement after a long while.
Xue Qu didn't know either. More than three months ago, she was still a woman who was thinking about how to save more money every day... When they were at their wits' end, the light screen suddenly jumped and a communication request appeared.
Bai Xiaoke sighed, thinking which team it was. As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly froze and immediately poked Xue Qu.
"I saw a lot of military police on the road," a voice like a clear spring sounded softly, and there seemed to be an ambiguity in the exhalation that made people couldn't help but listen attentively. Gong Daoyi narrowed his starry eyes,
He asked softly: "I just saved three girls. They said they were from the same team... How are you doing now? Do you need my help?" (To be continued)
ps: Ni Fei’s 5 evaluation votes shocked me. I thought you all lost them because I didn’t update for several days... touching...
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and there are some glitches (no matter how many details I wrote, the card will still be stuck), which resulted in me typing up this chapter for several days... In order to express my apology, I will write this chapter today.
