Chapter 287, White Mountains and Black Waters
Passing through the dark corridor, there is a long staircase at the end, leading to the second underground floor.
Along the way, Si Xu never stopped because of the experimental subjects who had died in other laboratories.
He went downstairs following the faint roar of a wild beast.
Chu Yuan wanted to go down with him, but Si Xu raised his hand to stop the man: "Wait here. If I don't come up in ten minutes, you leave immediately."
Chu Yuan opened his mouth in surprise and blurted out, "That thing, Seventh Brother, can't you deal with it?"
Holding the electric light, I shone it towards the dim downstairs, but saw nothing but a solid wall. "I don't know."
I don’t know, so I have to prepare for both scenarios.
"Seventh Brother..." If they weren't sure they could defeat the monster, there was no reason for them to go down. "How about we..."
"I'll go down." Si Xu said calmly, his eyes fixed on one point following the flashlight's light, "To confirm one thing."
Without waiting for Chu Yuan to answer, he walked down the stairs slowly.
…
There is also a long corridor downstairs, but the location of the stairs is opposite to that of the upstairs.
He swept the corridor with the flashlight, and the light stopped on the heavy iron door at the end of the corridor.
The strange roar came from behind the iron gate.
Chu Yuan said that there was also a laboratory behind the iron gate, but it was very empty and there were no instruments inside. It seemed like a space specially cleared out to trap the monster.
Si Xu remembered the arena in the Yancheng base where Qin Huai had imprisoned him.
According to the information Chu Yuan had investigated, Si Nian was indeed working in Dongchao City before the end of the world, but she was not working in the research institute, but in this underground laboratory.
The unknown secret experimental base was directly abandoned when the disaster occurred. This is why Pei Xiao knew nothing about this person.
This is where Si Nian used to work. He intuitively felt that he could find useful information here.
Stopping at the door, Si Xu glanced at the tightly closed laboratory door, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his calm face.
This door... He reached out and pressed on the door. With a little force, the heavy iron door slid open to the side.
——This door has no lock at all.
It's really strange. There is clearly no obstacle, but the thing inside didn't escape... Why?
…
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the experimental subject who was wandering back and forth anxiously in the middle of the laboratory suddenly turned around and looked at the young man who appeared at the door.
He turned around, allowing Si Xu to see his entire appearance clearly.
This experimental subject has a tall and straight figure and looks like a man.
He was wearing a white lab coat, with dark purple lines spreading across his exposed skin. His face was so burnt that it was impossible to tell what he looked like. Only his eyes, unlike the cloudy eyes of a zombie, were clearly black and white, showing the essential difference between this experimental subject and a zombie.
While Si Xu was looking at him, the experimental subject was also staring at him warily.
The cold gaze was fixed on him. I don't know what he saw, but the glimmer in his eyes flickered, and the muscles on his terrifying and ferocious face moved, and his expression changed slightly.
"It seems you still have some sanity left." Si Xu closed the laboratory door and flexed his fingers, his joints making crisp sounds. "Judging from your appearance, you must be a failed experiment in this laboratory."
The failed experimental subject was not eliminated, either because those people could not do anything to him, or because they were certain that he was harmless.
Based on Chu Yuan's experience of fighting with him, he prefers the former.
"I heard your howling upstairs. Are you in pain?" Si Xu walked towards the tense and alert experimental subject. "You can't control the virus in your body, nor can you control your runaway superpowers. Am I right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man seemed to turn into a flash of lightning, and the illusory shadow brought out a sharp cold light, sweeping towards the experimental subject.
"Bang!"
The two forces collided with each other, and the supernatural power generated by the collision spread out like ripples, hitting the surrounding walls and shaking the entire base.
Jiang Ran, who was running forward, staggered two steps due to the sudden vibration and quickly held onto the wall beside him.
"Si Xu is indeed here." Knowing how powerful the monster underground was, Pei Xiao supported Jiang Ran's arm and continued walking forward. "They're fighting. Let's go over there quickly."
Huo Lingyin was a psychic. After hearing Pei Xiao's words, she released her supernatural sense for a moment and said, "They are downstairs—Si Xu and a mutant with gold supernatural powers."
"Well, let's hurry up."
Running all the way to the stairs, Jiang Ran saw Chu Yuan waiting there: "Captain Chu!"
The man, who had been scratching the wall anxiously, saw the three people and his eyelids twitched: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Ran didn't bother to answer his question: "Is Si Xu down there alone?"
"Yes, he's already gone down..." Chu Yuan glanced at his watch, "Seven minutes and thirty-six seconds."
Si Xu said that if he didn't come up within ten minutes, he would evacuate, so he calculated the time accurately.
Jiang Ran said: "I'll go down."
"Don't!" Chu Yuan grabbed her wrist, "Seventh Brother has told us to evacuate if they don't come up within ten minutes."
Jiang Ran was stunned: "Evacuate? That thing down there... is it so, so powerful?" Even Si Xu can't deal with it?
The shaking continued, and dust fell from the ceiling.
Chu Yuan smiled bitterly: "I have never seen a test subject that could fight with Brother Seven for so long."
Jiang Ran's heart tightened, and he struggled to break free from Chu Yuan's restraints: "No, I must go down."
She can negate superpowers, so maybe she has an advantage over Si Xu in dealing with that kind of monster.
Chu Yuan's palms were empty, and Jiang Ran had already jumped down the stairs.
"Jiang Ran!" He called out the girl's name, and as she disappeared from his sight, he could only curse and quickly chase after her, "Jiang Ran! Come back!"
As soon as Chu Yuan moved, Pei Xiao and Huo Lingyin followed him downstairs.
——Since we’re here, we can’t really leave Jiang Ran and Si Xu here.
…
The Tang sword and the metal blade collided with each other, and the two figures crossed each other and rushed out a few steps before barely stabilizing themselves.
The Tang sword swung out a knife flower, Si Xu turned around and looked at the experimental subject who was covered in wounds from his hacking, and sneered: "Not bad, it is indeed powerful."
Injured and stimulated by the pain, the subject's originally clear black and white eyes gradually became cloudy, and he made a "ho ho" sound from his mouth. His runaway supernatural power caused the surrounding walls to tremble continuously.
In this building full of metal, it is the home turf of gold-type psychics, and the experimental subject in front of him is a high-level gold-type psychic with a psychic level similar to his.
This battle had no advantage for him.
But... Si Xu narrowed his eyes and hummed with pleasure: "I didn't expect to meet an opponent like you. It's really interesting."
Before he could finish his words, the mutant opposite him roared and pounced directly at him.
Si Xu raised his knife.
"Si Xu!" The door to the laboratory was pulled open and the girl appeared at the door. "Si Xu! You..."
Si Xu looked back in surprise.
The experimental subject that pounced on him smelled fresh flesh and blood, and the figure in mid-air turned in a different direction and rushed towards the girl.
"Wow!" A strong wind blew, making Jiang Ran unable to open his eyes.
"Jiang Ran!" A man's vague and urgent shouting was mixed in with the whistling wind.
The sharp metal blade carried by the strong wind slashed across the girl's face, leaving a long mark on her face.
She subconsciously covered the wound and raised her eyes with difficulty to look at the experimental subject who attacked her.
Is this the experimental subject?
With such a strong fluctuation of supernatural power, this experimental subject is really powerful... If she wants to survive in his hands, she must move faster than him.
…
The girl's frail body seemed like it would be blown away at any moment in the howling wind.
There was a cut on her cheek and blood dripped into the air.
She looked up at him, her eyes, as black and white as the white mountains and black waters, filled with a clear and stubborn light.
So familiar.
It was those familiar eyes that supported him to persevere until today during the more than ten years when he was ravaged by drugs.
Ranran.
The wind seemed to become gentle in an instant, caressing the girl's blood-stained cheek.
The runaway supernatural power was silently annihilated.
Jiang Ran opened his eyes.
As far as his eyes could see, the cold Tang sword pierced the chest of the experimental subject, stopping him from getting any closer.
Through the icy air, she met his eyes.
Jiang Ran: “…”
How... is it possible?
How... is it possible!
