Mu Yang didn't pursue the matter further; he already had the item. He needed to quickly consume the ultimate evolution potion before the old woman realized what was happening, so he could leave this place.
As for the old woman in white, Mu Yang was extremely wary of her. However, although this woman was formidable, her actual age was definitely not young, and to maintain her beauty, she spent a portion of her time each day somewhere unknown.
Mu Yang seized this opportunity!
After the metal box was opened, a transparent test tube lay quietly inside. The test tube contained less than five milliliters of an unidentified liquid, which shimmered with a breathtaking rainbow of colors.
Mu Yang was shocked and tilted his head back to pour all the liquid into his mouth.
"ah--!!"
The moment he entered, a searing pain shot through him. Mu Yang had intended to endure it, but ultimately couldn't, and collapsed to the ground.
The pain intensified, and Mu Yang uncontrollably rolled around on the ground. He felt as if his entire throat was melting away, and a suffocating sensation began to invade his lungs.
"Help, help me—help—" He mustered his last strength, but he only managed to utter a few words before he knew nothing more.
Yan Qing arrived at the first basement level and soon noticed something unusual.
Just 10 meters away from her, a woman dressed in a light blue office lady uniform was lying quietly on the ground, motionless.
I checked his breathing and found that he had not been dead for long; his body was still warm to the touch.
This woman was none other than the guide, Assistant Zhu.
Yan Qing sighed. This person had always been cold and aloof. She probably never expected that she would be betrayed and killed by her own ally.
It seems that Mu Yang is ruthless enough. His previous cooperation with the other party was aimed at obtaining the metal box inside the space capsule.
Presumably, it contains the ultimate evolution potion.
Just then, she heard a heart-wrenching cry of pain coming from the second basement level, which then gradually faded away.
An ominous premonition welled up in Yan Qing's heart, and she instinctively returned to the laboratory.
As a result, apart from seeing a pool of dark red blood at the entrance of the laboratory, Mu Yang had nowhere to be found.
At that moment, the clothes soaked in blood caught her attention.
Isn't this exactly the clothes Mu Yang was wearing today? How did he get here? Could that pool of blood be Mu Yang?!
In that instant, Yan Qing felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Without a doubt, the medicine was definitely problematic!
Something's fishy! No, she has to get out of here right now!
Yan Qing didn't have time to investigate anything and turned to run. Unfortunately, she was caught red-handed at the elevator entrance.
The woman in white slowly stepped down from the elevator, looking at her expressionlessly.
"What, you want to leave now? Too late!"
Yan Qing was afraid to look directly at the other person's face, for fear that she would throw up.
The woman in white had long lost her former beauty; her entire face was covered in signs of decay and rotting, with flesh and blood connected to her pitted and uneven skin, making her look exceptionally thin.
However, she seemed very concerned about her appearance. The moment Yan Qing glanced at her face, the other woman immediately erupted in anger.
"Little girl, do you believe I'll gouge your eyes out right now?"
How fierce! Yan Qing immediately turned her head away and refused to look.
The woman in white produced a long sword from somewhere and thrust it straight at Yan Qing.
Give me the stuff!
Yan Qing was also stunned. "What is it?" She hadn't taken anything.
"Don't play dumb with me! I'm talking about the ultimate evolution potion!" She glanced at the pool of blood not far away, where Mu Yang's clothes were mixed together, and said sharply.
"Since you killed Mu Yang, the item must be in your possession! Hand it over now!"
Yan Qing spread her hands, gestured towards the pool of blood on Mu Yang's body, and sincerely advised her...
"I think you should take a look for yourself. Although Mu Yang has turned into blood, the box is still there—I did get the contents, but it was snatched away before I could even enjoy them."
"As for the murderer, you can ask him yourself." Yan Qing was very straightforward.
The woman in white was furious. "Then you can die!" she shouted, raising her long sword to finish her off.
At the crucial moment, Yan Qing's years of experience in dispersing her hair came in handy. She kicked the longsword away with a flying kick and turned to run without saying a word.
This time, she ran towards the basement level again.
The woman in white followed her at a leisurely pace. She had already closed the elevator door, and she wanted to see where this little girl could run to!
When they got to the basement, that brat actually abandoned the elevator and ran straight into the corridor.
Then, it vanished without a trace.
The woman in white searched the entire basement level but couldn't find Yan Qing. She could only angrily stomp her feet in frustration.
"That girl, she's pretty fast!"
When Yan Qing ran out of the white room on the eighth floor, it was already completely dark outside.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling. It was just too peaceful here.
Fortunately, she had left Xiaotao in the dormitory beforehand. In these extraordinary times, she couldn't find a safer place than her dormitory.
Yan Qing stealthily made her way back to the dormitory building in the dark. Passing the first floor, she realized that Chen Qi seemed to have disappeared as well. The dormitory building was practically a ghost town now.
"Big sister, I missed you so much!" As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Tao rushed over. Seeing Yan Qing's injuries, she was also startled.
"Big sister, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Qing waved her hand, "It's nothing, just a few falls. But you, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Come to think of it, there really is one. Xiao Tao also found it strange. She took Yan Qing's hand and led her to the dormitory building entrance, pointing to the end of the corridor and saying...
"How strange, it's getting more and more crowded there, so many people, so many people!"
Yan Qing looked over, but it was still completely empty.
"Oh, I almost forgot, big sister, you can't see them." Xiao Tao suddenly realized, so she stretched out a finger and bit it hard.
With blood smeared on her eyelids, and after a sharp pain, Yan Qing finally saw what Xiao Tao meant by "super crowded."
She swore that this corridor was the most crowded place she had ever seen in her life, without a doubt.
The narrow corridor, barely a meter wide, was crammed with at least several thousand people. People were packed tightly together, piled on top of each other, reaching all the way to the ceiling.
The key point is that not all of these thousands of people are intact!
Many of them are incomplete, and their limbs and heads have been installed very haphazardly, forcibly arranged into bizarre monsters.
Not only that, they are also conscious.
