Ye Li's eyes turned cold, and he swiftly brought down his knife.

The vines were cut off cleanly and decisively.

A stream of green liquid gushed out from the broken section.

The broken vine immediately burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

Only a cluster of red flowers remained, gradually fading into darkness.

"Can't we collect it?"

Ye Li did not stop running, curiously examining the Soul-Devouring Flower in his hand as he ran.

In less than ten seconds.

The once vibrant clusters of flowers have now become incredibly withered.

It's like a brain that's been dried out for a long time, completely lifeless.

Not only that.

Ye Li did not hear the mechanical voice prompting the data collection.

"Useless thing."

Ye Li pouted in disappointment and casually threw away the withered Soul-Devouring Flower in his hand.

Soon, it was swallowed up by the blackish-red slime that followed.

At the same time, a strange "clicking" sound suddenly echoed in the passage.

Ye Li turned around curiously and glanced back.

The disgusting, dark red slime quickly burrowed into the bodies of the robots on both sides of the passage, like parasites.

In less than three breaths.

In just three breaths, the robots that had been damaged and malfunctioning actually stood up again.

They staggered and swayed as they chased after them, like zombies.

Their movements appeared somewhat stiff, but their speed was significantly faster than in their previous liquid state.

However, this situation has been observed.

Ye Li was no longer afraid.

He took out the Barrett again, aimed at the robots behind him, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A blue beam of energy erupted from the muzzle of the gun like a surging torrent.

Under Ye Li's skillful and precise control, this energy was like a nimble whip, sweeping across the entire passage at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, the relentless pursuing robots all fell down.

Their bodies were cut in half at the waist, the cuts clean and smooth, as if slashed by an invisible blade.

However, the blackish-red slime attached to their bodies seemed to have a life of its own, flowing rapidly and acting like a highly efficient adhesive, reassembling the robots that had broken in two.

Soon, the robots stood up again.

With its long legs, it continued its pursuit.

"That's amazing?"

Ye Li couldn't help but click his tongue and exclaim in amazement.

Quickly climb the stairs with Little Stone Monkey and Jianjian.

Then he took two oil drums out of his spatial ring and threw them into the passage.

The little stone monkey understood immediately.

Without hesitation, he raised his AK47 and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a dazzling spark suddenly ignited in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the raging flames, like a ferocious beast, spread rampantly along the passage.

Upon seeing this, the pursuing robots instantly panicked.

He ran back like a madman.

Flames licked their metal shells, making crackling sounds.

Soon, the robots were engulfed by the flames behind them.

They struggled desperately.

He quickly collapsed to the ground, motionless, his already damaged body now reduced to a pile of scrap metal.

"Squeak!"

—Those things seem to be afraid of fire!

The little stone monkey stared wide-eyed at the flames burning in the passage.

Under the raging flames.

The parasite-like, dark red mucus turned into lumps at a visible speed.

It looks like it's been dried out and set.

"Um!"

Ye Li nodded and continued walking upstairs.

Besides the floor they were currently on and the underground pharmacy they had just visited, there were four more floors above the research institute.

Led by Jianjian, Ye Li toured each floor.

They were all places like laboratories and offices.

There's nothing particularly valuable about it.

As for those experimental equipment, most of them have been damaged and unusable after more than a hundred years of neglect and lack of maintenance.
