Chapter 211 Deep Virtual Reality 38
Without thinking twice, Xie Ning grabbed 034 and ran towards the escape route. Just after turning the corner, she saw the corpses of unknown creatures scattered all over the ground. They died in bizarre ways, lying on top of the guards' bodies, and the sticky blood on the ground gave off a salty, fishy smell.
Above the rickety metal door, a black creature hovered, its long tentacles clinging tightly to the metal door leading to the escape route. Seemingly having spotted Xie Ning, its head, which had been buried in the writhing tentacles, suddenly broke free.
With blood-red eyes staring intently, Xie Ning picked up the guard's weapon from the wall and ran.
She ran while calling out to Kono, as she had been unable to reach him. She just hoped that the artificial intelligence wouldn't fail her at this crucial moment.
"Kono, please select the nearest escape route for projection, I..."
The monsters behind her were incredibly fast, and Xie Ning couldn't outrun them at all. She had originally planned to run towards her office, but when she thought of the rickety escape route door, she knew that if she ran into her office, she would be walking into a trap.
That gate won't hold for long.
The black tentacles wrapped around Xie Ning's ankles and pulled her backward, causing her to fall forward. Fortunately, 034 caught Xie Ning in time, otherwise she would have had a close encounter with the hard metal ground.
Xie Ning fired several shots to force the tentacles to loosen their grip. The other party, of course, was not afraid of pain. Just as the barbs on the tentacles were about to pierce deep into its flesh, a thin layer of frost covered the area encircled by the tentacles. It was hidden by the trouser leg and could not be seen.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere. Xie Ning's thought of destroying the cameras and using her superpowers only lasted for a moment. No, if something like this happened again, she would never be able to clear her name.
After all, she was all alone here, and she couldn't blame the monster for destroying the surveillance cameras. It was really frustrating.
But caution is the best policy; she didn't want to be sliced up.
Xie Ning fired a few more shots, completely severing the tentacles. "034, attack it."
She raised her gun and fired again and again. The 034's damage was greater, severing the monster's three tentacles.
Therefore, Xie Ning could roughly calculate the monster's defense level. Her gun was definitely not enough; it took her several shots to break off a small section of a tentacle.
Dark red blood seeped from the wounds on the cross-section of the tentacle. Xie Ning dared not relax and fought while retreating.
The camera above the corridor turned slightly in Xie Ning's direction.
"Kno, suspect cleared, arrange an escape route for her."
The middle-aged man in the silver-white uniform cut off Xie Ning's scene and then started watching the other people's scenes.
The people in those light screens were the ones who had participated in the Twin Experiment test before. This riot was real, and Lillian's injury was real, but that didn't mean the higher-ups couldn't use this incident to eliminate potential threats.
Xie Ning, being carried along by 034's small body, finally heard Krono's melodious electronic voice: "Magnetic field interference has weakened, signal has been restored. Staff member Xie Ning, the escape route has been arranged. Please proceed according to the instructions."
Xie Ning rushed into another escape route, where he found many armed personnel and engineers who had escaped to this location. Only then did Xie Ning finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Handing his gun to the armed man, Xie Ning limped toward the medical staff who were providing first aid. "Could you give me some disinfectant and gauze?"
Her trouser legs were covered in blood, not from the monster, but from when she tore off the tentacles that were wrapped around her calves.
After all, the tentacles had barbs, so it would be strange if she were completely unharmed.
"Let me help you." Seeing Xie Ning's weak appearance, the medical staff wearing masks stepped forward.
"No need to trouble you, their condition is much more serious than mine, I can bandage myself."
Indeed, there are many injured people here. Although Xie Ning's face was pale, she did not look seriously injured. "Okay, there is a restroom over there. You can go there to clean up."
Xie Ning nodded gratefully.
His gaze fell on the faces of the injured, then he casually pulled 034 over and had him help him to the restroom.
Several of them were familiar faces, making Xie Ning wonder if her recent experience was "deliberately arranged," since the cameras were still working and the artificial intelligence couldn't contact them.
