The laboratory was filled with the pungent smell of roasted meat mixed with chemicals.
The mutant who was just baring its teeth and claws is now lying sprawled on the ground, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be dead.
[Item Obtained: Instant Pot]
[Item Obtained: Roasted Durian (Boxed) x10]
[Item Obtained: Base Pool Party Module (Rare Reward)]
Lu Sheng: "..."
I haven't even unlocked the base yet, what's the point of giving me a swimming pool!
[Bonus Reward: 50,000 points]
Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoxiangrikui rushed over and crawled through the pile of corpses to dig out crystal cores. Lu Sheng, holding a heavy submachine gun, experienced a momentary mental blank.
White phosphorus has an ignition point of only 40 degrees Celsius. Although the room temperature environment does not reach the ignition point, it can burn as long as there is a slight local heating caused by friction.
Ordinary people simply cannot buy these controlled chemicals, let alone modify white phosphorus bombs into bullets for use in submachine guns.
Lu Sheng looked at Xu Yi with a hint of surprise, her eyes unconsciously filled with scrutiny.
Dissolving fluid, incendiary bombs, white phosphorus, submachine guns.
Is this the kind of thing a school doctor should be bringing out?! A bloodthirsty school doctor, huh?! A lawless mad doctor, huh?!
And these two submachine guns—these are such big things, they couldn't possibly be folded up and put in a pocket, could they?
Noticing Lu Sheng's gaze, Xu Yi raised his hand, pointed to the green Submariner watch on his wrist, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
With his movement, the submachine gun in Xu Yi's hand vanished in a flash.
Clearly, this watch is Xu Yi's personal storage space.
Lu Sheng: "..."
The space on her face was blatantly visible, along with that knowing smile that everyone understood...
It's practically written all over my face that I know you have a personal space too.
The main theme of this campaign is sincerity, and sincerity is the most powerful weapon.
Lu Sheng consciously put the submachine gun in his hand into his spatial storage.
They've already been open and honest; it would be pointless to pretend to be ignorant.
But you almost had your head ripped off by a zombie, why didn't you take out your gun, bro!
Seemingly noticing Lu Sheng's inner complaints, Xu Yi explained casually, "It was just made."
Lu Sheng didn't plan to ask about other information. Everyone who has survived this long must have some secrets, and it wouldn't be good to ask too many questions.
On the other side, Zhuangzhuang and Little Sunflower worked quickly and soon dug up a handful of crystal cores, eagerly presenting them to Lu Sheng for a reward.
Lu Sheng gave each of them a roasted chicken leg and patted their heads: "Good boy, let's finish eating before we go out."
Since they had already shared their personal belongings with Xu Yi, there was no pressure to take things out.
...
After leaving the laboratory, Lu Sheng and Xu Yi quickly caught up with the main group.
The corridor deep inside was scattered with mutant synthetic humans, but most of them were defective products with little combat ability and were easily wiped out by Wu Hainan and his group with a few simple superpowers.
"Why are there so many disgusting things?" Zhang Xiaojuan asked, cursing as she hugged Han Rui.
Two dried tear tracks ran down Han Rui's face as she huddled tightly in Zhang Xiaojuan's arms like a kitten. "It's all Xia Ziqiu's doing! He's a pervert!"
"The institute's research capabilities have always been under our control. Even if we combine all the research resources, we still can't create so many mutants."
Jiang Qichen frowned, summoned a huge iron sword, and held it in front of the team, spinning wildly like an electric fan to clear a path.
Those small mutants with little combat ability would die instantly, their flesh torn to pieces, if they were grazed by the outer edge of the iron sword.
The team's marching speed has noticeably increased.
“Xia Ziqiu’s superpower is synthesis…” Han Rui said with lingering fear, “He can inject biological genes into the human body using only his superpower, or directly synthesize a living animal and a human into one.”
"But his ability level is not high enough, so the success rate of directly synthesizing two living things is very low. Therefore, he needs my father to help him extract biological gene fragments."
Her words immediately caused an uproar in the group.
"In that case, Chief Engineer Han is safe for the time being," Wu Hainan said, rubbing his chin.
Thinking of Xia Ziqiu's evil deeds, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
No wonder there are frequent cases of missing persons at the base, but in the apocalypse, everyone is too busy taking care of themselves to investigate too much.
It turns out that Xia Ziqiu had secretly brought these people here for reformation!
"Huh?!"
However, just as everyone was about to cross the door at the end of the corridor, Sun Di suddenly exclaimed and stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qichen asked in a deep voice.
"Young Master Jiang... I feel like I can't move..." Sun Di's face was pale, and his limbs suddenly felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
A bone-chilling coldness spread from the depths of my body to every part of my limbs, even seeping through my fingertips.
Jiang Qichen was about to step forward to check when he lifted his leg and felt as if it weighed a ton.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing fear.
It felt as if all the blood in my body had dropped to freezing point, and my entire body felt frozen stiff. I struggled desperately, but could only twitch my fingertips slightly.
Hiss.
Suddenly, a sinister sound came from the room at the far end.
The sound of a quadruped crawling animal gradually drew closer.
Despite knowing that danger was imminent, everyone was frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
Despair was evident in everyone's eyes.
At this moment, they were like meat on a chopping board, left only with the despair of being slaughtered at will...
The next second, a deformed monster crawled out from the shadows, its eyes staring menacingly at the frozen crowd.
The monster had the head and neck of a human woman, but its limbs resembled those of a short, sturdy reptile. Thick scales covered its entire body, and a thick tail slammed angrily against the floor.
Everyone's pupils constricted, their faces filled with horror...
They recognized the monster's head...it was Xia Ran's...
“Ugh…” Sun Di felt nauseous and vomited on the spot.
The next second, Xia Ziqiu's figure flashed out from behind the door, looking at everyone triumphantly.
"How about it?"
He crouched down, stroking Xia Ran's head with one hand. "This is my most satisfying work. The inspiration comes from Medusa."
"You fucking don't even spare your own niece!" Wu Hainan couldn't help but curse.
Xia Ziqiu shrugged dismissively, a fanatical look on his face. "I originally wanted to exchange Han Rui's body for hers, but my ability level wasn't high enough to complete the synthesis of two living human bodies."
"There was no other way but to use the genes I carefully selected."
His tone was quite regretful, but he quickly became strangely excited, "Ranran now is perfect!"
"Now I call her Medusa."
Xia Ziqiu suddenly revealed a maniacal smile, "Do you like the ability of the petrification bloodline? This is Medusa's newly awakened superpower!"
