Chapter 130 Life Science Museum (XI)
It was quiet all around.
"…But I still don't understand what's going on with those five skins?" Yao Feng asked, "Are there any important clues that we haven't found yet?"
Mu Chenxi turned around and walked back to the cave entrance from which they had just entered, preparing to go back.
"Our goal is to destroy the monster generator. Nothing else matters."
Yao Feng was confused after hearing this.
Is that so? ?
This seems to make sense, but I always feel something is weird...
Sun Ya glanced at the old players with different expressions, wondering in his heart, are they hiding something?
Back in the other world, the way to rescue Zhao Xiaoguang seemed clear.
Since gravity is upward, it is not difficult to reach the top of the glass cover from the ground. The only thing they have to pay attention to is that the person they rescue must not have his head smashed like Zhao Xiaoguang.
As for how to come back - tie a rope on the other person's body, and then pull him back when the time comes.
Gao Zhanyuan raised his arm and pointed at the top of the glass cover and said, "But since we can all get through, wouldn't it be faster to just smash the glass cover and destroy the monster generator?"
The contents flowing out of Zhao Xiaoguang's head have spread out, and the golden and colorful light depicts disordered and strange lines.
It would take a lot of effort just to recover these contents, which is beyond the scope of what a recovery gun can handle.
Compared to this, wouldn't it be more convenient to just destroy the Demon Moon?
"That's true, but..." Before Mu Chenxing could finish his words, Lu Chongnian suddenly frowned, leaned over and picked up Mu Yu.
"Go back indoors!"
Everyone was stunned.
Yu Ning, who had been observing Zhao Xiaoguang, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "The black...cow is out!"
——Between the golden and colorful light, there is a sticky pure black.
That was not the night at all, but the evil karma flowing out of Zhao Xiaoguang's body!
At this moment, these bad factors were spread on the top of the glass cover, forming bulges towards them... They were about to attack!
Suddenly, everyone turned around and ran into the room. From the sky, a rain of black arrows fell towards them!
"Isn't Zhao Xiaoguang still alive? Those things should still be connected to his body. How could they be separated?" Sun Ya asked panickedly, holding his head to avoid the bad guy who came through the wall.
Qu Ge's leg was scratched by a flying evil spirit, and he frowned: "It is said in the Yin Piece Studies that this situation will occur when the wound is too large and too much content overflows."
...It was just that the location where Zhao Xiaoguang fainted was too coincidental. He was in mid-air, almost blending into the night, and they didn't even notice that so much stuff was flowing out of his body.
Just looking at the positive causes and the amount of life flowing out, although it is a lot, it is far from the point where they need to pay attention.
At this moment, the whole building was in chaos.
Zhao Xiaoguang's evil spirit was extremely aggressive and it easily penetrated the walls. He fired densely, and the sounds of windows and walls being hit could be heard everywhere!
Many of them had taken off their protective suits before. The suits were too stuffy and they started to feel short of breath after wearing them for more than ten minutes. If they didn't take them off, they could faint in them - and without the protection of protective suits, the bad guys would track them all the way!
Mu Chenxi said in the chaos: "Come with me, a few people, go to the equipment room, and everyone else go to the explosion room!"
The group immediately ran up the stairs!
Lu Zhongnian stepped onto the stairs and stuffed Mu Yu into Mu Chenxi's arms: "I'm going to the internal medicine clinic. Brother, Mu Yu is in your hands."
Mu Yu's contents, which were still being mixed, were still in the internal medicine clinic.
The attack range of Zhao Xiaoguang's evil forces is too large. They are flying everywhere even in places where there is no one. There is no guarantee that the glass tube containing the contents of Mu Yu will not be shattered in the chaos!
"...Be careful." Mu Chenxi held Mu Yu.
Mu Yu watched Lu Chongnian turn around and run in the opposite direction, and hurriedly shouted, "Lu Chongnian!"
"He won't die. At worst, I'll have him undergo surgery later," Mu Chenxi said coldly. "Don't move. Do you think you're still a two-year-old child? If you keep struggling, I won't be able to hold you!"
Mu Yu blushed: "I can run down by myself!"
After going up to the second floor, most people rushed into the explosion room. Mu Chenxi threw Mu Yu in and closed the door.
He, Gao Zhanyuan and Yan Shaowen rushed to the equipment room without stopping.
*
Downstairs, Lu Zhongnian broke into the internal medicine clinic alone.
There were holes in the walls on all four sides, and on the ground, clumps of black condensates were scattered everywhere, wriggling and changing shapes.
Lu Zhongnian rushed to the desk without looking around, took the large glass tube that was still stuck vertically in the tube groove into his arms, and picked up a protective suit hanging on the back of the chair.
The moment he turned around, a thick black condensate stood up in front of him and he stopped abruptly.
The head of the condensate became sharp, like a drill, and bent down silently, aiming at him.
Lu Zhongnian's muscles tightened silently.
The next second, the condensed body attacked!
He dodged and squeezed out from the left side, but a black condensate shot towards him from the ground in front of him and pierced his right shoulder!
Lu Chongnian frowned, and a gust of wind blew behind him. He bent down swiftly, and the thick black condensate shot straight past the place where he had just stood!
He just took a glance, then used his left leg that was bent on the ground to exert force and try to stand up.
There was a sudden sharp pain in my head.
Lu Zhongnian shook himself and knelt down again.
His black hair was scattered messily in front of his forehead, double images appeared in his vision, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.
My head ached sharply, as if a knife had stabbed in at an angle, twisting and stirring inside. For a moment, my ears were filled with a buzzing sound.
The black condensate seemed to have noticed his weakness and its movements suddenly slowed down.
It approached him little by little, looking down at him condescendingly, its icy aura surging around it, with a hint of pride and mockery in its ease.
Lu Chongnian raised his eyes, stared at the thing coldly, and clenched the glass tube in his arms.
【Throw it out】
Suddenly, strange small black words appeared in the air.
【Throw it out to attract its attention】
[Throw away the things in your arms, quickly]
[Throw it out, throw it out, throw it out, throw it out, throw it out, throw it out]
【Throw it out and you will live】
Dense black words piled up.
The pain in his head intensified, as if countless hands were pushing and squeezing his brain, and countless strange voices were urging him, instigating him, and confusing him.
He waved his left hand out——
With a loud bang, the glass door of the cabinet against the wall was smashed!
Shards of glass fell down with a clatter, and Lu Zhongnian's fist hung in the air.
moment.
The world is quiet.
The black words disappeared.
The back of his hand was scratched by glass shards, leaving tiny cuts.
And in the office, there was only him and the greedy entity in front of him left.
——The condensed body suddenly rushed towards him!
Lu Chongnian quickly threw the glass tube into his right hand, picked up the protective suit with his left hand, shook it open, and covered his head with the condensate!
The protective suit was instantly pushed out of shape, and the condensate was drilling frantically underneath. Lu Chongnian held the protective suit tightly, and blue veins appeared on his arms.
Two footsteps approached from outside the door!
"Lu Zhongnian, catch it!"
Lu Zhongnian looked up and saw Mu Chenxi and Yan Shaowen standing outside the door. A large suction tube flew towards him.
At the moment when the protective suit was pierced and the sharp head of the condensate stabbed at him, he caught the thing, leaned back, freed his hands, aimed at the condensate, and absorbed -
*
Five minutes later.
The room was a mess.
Everyone came out, put on protective clothing, and began to clean up the "battlefield" and recover the bad karma of Zhao Xiaoguang.
Mu Yu ran out, and the moment she saw Lu Zhongnian, her eyes turned red.
"Lu Zhongnian, you've been hurt so badly!"
Mu Chenxi really couldn't understand: "Why are you crying? How long have you known him?"
Mu Yu retorted: "...I didn't cry! I don't know why, it was just my body's reaction..."
He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
Lu Zhongnian walked over and patted his head, coaxing him in a low voice: "I'm fine, don't worry, this minor injury is easy to treat."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and said to Mu Chenxi: "My body is also beginning to react."
Mu Chenxi frowned: "What is it?"
"Headache, I used to get this when I didn't sleep well, it's hereditary," Lu Zhongnian took out his cell phone and checked the time, "But time is running out, don't deal with my problem first, let's discuss how to destroy the monster generator."
"Come to think of it, sister, what did you want to say just now?" Gao Zhanyuan knelt on the ground, sucked a mass of black condensate into the tube, raised his head and asked Mu Chenxing.
Mu Chenxing stood up and said, "...We don't know whether the monster generator is attached to the inner layer or the outer layer of the glass cover. If it is the latter, by comparing the size of Zhao Xiaoguang and the moon, we can know how big the monster generator is. It may not be so easy to destroy it."
Everyone fell into thought.
That’s right, from their distance, Zhao Xiaoguang was probably only one-tenth the size of the monster generator.
Putting aside the question of whether the glass is so easy to break, to what extent can they break the glass cover using tools like sticks, and to what extent can they destroy the monster generator?
If one can only poke a hole in the monster generator, can this be considered "successfully destroyed" by the copy?
This is also the first time that veteran players have encountered this situation.
"Let's give it a try," Mu Chenxi said, "Anyway, we just need someone to go up and check on Zhao Xiaoguang's condition."
Gao Zhanyuan immediately said: "Then I'll go up!"
…
After cleaning up, the group returned to the disposal room.
Zhao Xiaoguang was still clinging to the top of the glass cover, motionless.
More and more stuff was flowing out of his body.
Sun Ya and Yao Feng came in holding three or four quilts: "Are these enough?"
"It's definitely not enough. Go get more after you throw them all away." Mu Chenxi took a quilt, crumpled it, and raised his hand.
Suddenly, the quilt was sucked by a force and flew upwards.
In two or three seconds, it quietly stuck to the top of the glass cover, covering the contents belonging to Zhao Xiaoguang and also covering Zhao Xiaoguang's face.
Sun Ya and Yao Feng followed suit and quickly threw the remaining three quilts on top, then turned around and ran out of the disposal room and went to the equipment room to get quilts.
——The soft quilt was used as a cushion to ensure Gao Zhanyuan’s safe landing.
Lu Zhongnian was tying a rope around Gao Zhanyuan's waist.
Yan Shaowen walked in carrying a baseball bat: "Is this enough?"
"That's enough. I don't have anything else suitable." Gao Zhanyuan took it.
Mu Yu watched from the side and asked in confusion: "The people who made the copy gave you props, but didn't they give you any guns or something?"
Gao Zhanyuan was happy, as it was a rare opportunity for him to "understand better" than Mu Yu.
"Forget guns. There's not even a knife or scissors in the vending machine."
Mu Yu tilted his head: "Isn't that because there is already a scalpel in this copy, so there is no need to provide an additional one?"
"Nonono~ This kind of item is not available in any vending machine in any dungeon, no matter what the dungeon setting is."
After hearing this, Mu Yu touched his chin and said, "Isn't this strange? Since props are provided, why do we have to prohibit certain types of props? If monsters cannot be killed by hand-to-hand combat, then there is no need to provide sticks, which can't kill monsters anyway."
This logic made Gao Zhanyuan's brain knotted up successfully: "Uh... maybe because the stick can have other uses? Like smashing things or something..."
"That knife can have other uses as well! For example, it can be used to carve words or cut fruits!" Mu Yu continued to think.
Lan Lu couldn't help laughing when she saw how serious he was despite his young age.
The others listened in silence.
"I just can't figure it out," Mu Yu glanced at the five strange skins that were moved to the corner, "There's no way there's a bug in the copy, right?"
Gao Zhanyuan: "Of course not in theory..."
"Okay," Mu Chenxi interrupted them, "We're almost ready, come over."
More than a dozen quilts were placed on top of the glass cover, and the special suction tube and retrieval gun used to help Zhao Xiaoguang were stuffed into Gao Zhanyuan's clothes and held in place.
Lu Chongnian and several other strong boys worked together to grab the rope around Gao Zhanyuan's waist. Gao Zhanyuan held the baseball bat, jumped lightly, and his feet left the ground.
The next second, he flew headfirst at a very fast speed.
The rope was pulled upwards suddenly. Lu Zhongnian was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he used both hands to stop the rapid trend.
"Hold on tight!" Mu Chenxi shouted.
They let out the rope little by little, allowing Gao Zhanyuan to go up.
This scene is extremely strange.
The rope was pulled straight in the air, forming a U-shape, with the head and feet facing upwards, slowly rising.
After about a minute, he turned into a very small figure and successfully landed on the quilts.
The people below looked up at him.
Gao Zhanyuan quickly pulled aside the quilts, revealing Zhao Xiaoguang underneath, and reached out to touch him.
A few seconds later——
Gao Zhanyuan shook his head, crossed his arms, and gave them a cross.
Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Zhao Xiaoguang is dead.
It must be because too many good deeds and too much of his life have disappeared.
Gao Zhanyuan touched the glass cover under him again and shouted to them: "The monster generator is outside!"
Another bad news.
This thing is attached to the outside of the glass cover, making it extremely difficult to destroy.
Gao Zhanyuan didn't waste any time and immediately started smashing the glass cover.
The clanging sounds coming from such a long distance had become very faint.
It could be seen that Gao Zhanyuan was smashing the glass very hard - he should be the one with the best physical fitness and the greatest strength among them. However, after he smashed it more than ten times, there was still no movement from the glass cover.
"No," Gao Zhanyuan gasped and shouted, "How about you throw me a chair and I'll try again!"
Qu Ge returned to the room, brought in a chair and threw it up.
Gao Zhanyuan lifted up the quilt to prevent the chair from hitting him.
After successfully getting the chair, he started a new round of smashing.
Lu Zhongnian looked at the time again and said to Mu Chenxi, "Mu Yu's ingredients should be almost ready."
Mu Chenxi said: "I'll go in with you."
Sun Ya also went in with him. He started to feel pain under his left rib again. It was time to inject the second genetic modification gene tablet.
…
Mu Yu sat on the chair and looked up at Mu Chenxi and Lu Zhongnian standing in front of him, feeling a little disappointed: "Will I not be able to see you again after this injection?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Chenxi glanced at him, "You are no longer yourself when you grow up?"
"I'm not familiar with my grown-up self," Mu Yu muttered, "By the way, that vending machine is really weird, don't ignore it!"
"Got it." Mu Chenxi half-knelt down in front of him.
"And those five skins, do you know what's going on?"
"You talk a lot."
Mu Yu curled her lips and looked at Lu Chongnian again.
"Lu Chongnian..."
Lu Zhongnian also half-knelt down in front of him.
He reached out and gently stroked Mu Yu's hair: "You and I didn't know each other until high school, and now I'm already in your memory when you were 12 years old. Isn't that strange?"
Mu Yu's cheeks turned red.
"Perhaps I will have to wait until I grow up to feel this wonder..." he said hesitantly.
Lu Zhongnian smiled and said, "Take a nap. When you wake up, you will understand."
Mu Chenxi slowly pushed the contents of the syringe into Mu Yu's body.
Little Mu Yu fell asleep.
…
Just like drawing it out, injecting it in also takes a certain amount of time.
During this time, Sun Ya gave himself an injection in a corner and felt better again.
Yu Ning walked in.
Gao Zhanyuan had just smashed a chair and finally made a hole in the glass cover. He now needed a second chair.
Yu Ning glanced at Sun Ya.
Sun Ya leaned against the cabinet, his eyes narrowed, as if he was in a trance, and he looked as if he was floating in ecstasy.
His eyes rolled and fell on Yu Ning. He said vaguely, "You... this is a rare opportunity. Why don't you try the congenital disease elimination pills?"
Yu Ning pursed her lips.
He shook his head.
"It's not like you're taking drugs, and you only have this chance. Once you get out of the dungeon, it'll be gone," Sun Ya laughed. "You're so cautious..."
Yu Ning signed to him.
Sun Ya didn't understand, but he roughly understood that Yu Ning wanted to remind him not to get addicted.
Sun Ya waved his hand to show that he knew.
…
All the blended mixtures were injected into Mu Yu's body, and his appearance returned to its current state.
Lu Zhongnian and Mu Chenxi paused.
...Some of the memories in their brains seem to have been changed.
Mu Yu slowly opened his eyes and his vision slowly focused.
For a moment, his face was filled with confusion.
Mu Chenxi stood up and threw away the syringe. "It should be a side effect of the reconciliation. I expected it before. It should return to normal after leaving this copy. You guys chat for a while. I'll go back to the treatment room first. Sun Ya, come out with me when you're better."
“Oh, oh…”
The two of them left the internal medicine clinic and the door was closed by Mu Chenxi.
Mu Yu's eyes regained clarity, but became a little strange.
He looked at Lu Zhongnian in front of him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Lu Zhongnian was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Have you forgotten?"
"Or are you having two memories like me?"
"..." Mu Yu swallowed and said hoarsely, "The latter."
Their memories were all altered.
A new layer of memory covered the original memory, and in this new memory... he and Lu Chongnian had never had that night.
To be precise——
That night, he and Lu Zhongnian still entered room 305 and slept in the same bed.
But he restrained himself and did not do anything that crossed the line.
Lu Zhongnian naturally did not lose control.
They spent the night quietly, just like ordinary classmates.
Everything that happened later also changed accordingly.
There is no confession.
The kiss was gone.
"Self-control" came into play in the film, reining in Mu Yu, and everything that followed became restrained and obscure.
The most important thing is that this new layer of memory is very real, and the original memory becomes more like an illusory dream.
Lu Zhongnian stared at him straight, and there was silence between the two of them, and the atmosphere became very subtle.
He tightened his grip on Mu Yu's hand, and Mu Yu's fingers flicked subconsciously.
Lu Zhongnian felt it and paused.
Mu Yu quickly said: "No, I——"
"It's okay," Lu Zhongnian interrupted him, his voice still gentle, "It's okay as long as you get out of the dungeon. This is only temporary. Don't feel embarrassed."
"I don't feel embarrassed, it's just a subconscious reaction..."
"Well, I know." Lu Zhongnian let go of his hand, his face calm, "Let's go out first? It's a critical moment outside now, it's almost time--"
"Lu Chongnian!"
Mu Yu shouted anxiously and pulled him over.
There was a flash of surprise in Lu Chongnian's eyes. He fell towards Mu Yu, who held his face and kissed him.
