Chapter 294 Deep Virtual Reality 121
However, the previously clear screen suddenly became choppy, and then turned completely white.
"What happened, Cono?"
"The circuitry in the Sector laboratory has been destroyed, the surveillance system is malfunctioning, and broadcasting is not working properly." The cold, electronic voice startled everyone in the central control room.
The accident happened too suddenly, and since they couldn't see what was happening there, they naturally couldn't accurately operate the weapon attack system.
"Jiang Teng, you and Xie Ning go together to troubleshoot and repair the faulty lines. Annika and I will stay here and process the data."
At this moment, in the S area laboratory.
Zhan Lin stayed close to Professor Lillian and carefully entered the cubicle, where researchers changed their protective suits before entering the laboratory.
The room was filled with a pungent smell. Broken test tubes and experimental equipment were scattered on the floor. Blue protective suits were carelessly thrown on the floor. Apart from some protective gear, the walls were covered with old-fashioned experimental instruments that looked like they hadn't been used for a long time. They were covered in dust and looked very worn.
Through the sensor-activated glass doors, they could see the giant laboratory inside, with glass panels dividing the vast space into countless sections arranged in a ring shape.
Nightshade, who was the first to enter the laboratory, stood in the middle with the alien creature test subject, looking up at the huge cylindrical glass tank on the central experimental platform.
Even after so long, the liquid in that tank remained clear, unlike other glass tanks where the liquid had spoiled and smelled bad.
Because of her good eyesight, Zhan Lin could see clearly that inside the transparent container, a pale, almost transparent experimental subject was sleeping peacefully, her appearance as if it were a masterpiece sculpted by God.
Even though Zhan Lin had seen many beautiful things, she couldn't help but admire her at this moment. She didn't have the jet-black, lustrous hair of a human; instead, green leaves wove her hair, cascading down like a waterfall, enveloping the girl's fair body. A slender white hand emerged from the green leaves, as if the girl was gently tucking away her long hair that had accidentally slipped down.
The gaze descends, obscuring the girl's legs. Instead, a body resembling tree roots emerges from the green leaves, deeply embedded beneath the jar—a sight both incongruous and somehow fitting.
"The Tree Mother is still in such good condition!"
Professor Lillian was somewhat excited and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her voice echoed in the quiet, empty room, giving people an inexplicable sense of dread.
One of the crew members snapped out of his reverie at the beauty and rubbed his arms. It was getting colder and colder down there, and he wasn't wearing any thermal underwear. He just hoped that these important figures would finish up quickly and go back. It was cold and dark here, and he didn't want to stay at all.
"Fortunately, we equipped the Tree Mother with a backup power supply..."
Even so, when she saw the Tree Mother, who looked as if she had been reborn and was in even better condition than when she first worked at this base, she was filled with disbelief and excitement.
Over the years, they have developed generation after generation of androids and special drugs solely based on the genes extracted from the Tree Mother. Unfortunately, the Tree Mother has taken root underground and become completely integrated with the island, so they cannot take her away.
Several years later, they set foot on the island again, not for android experiments, but for medicine. They have made new progress, but still need the original mother body for testing.
People always hope to live longer, much longer...
Especially for those at the top of the pyramid, who have already mastered the vast majority of the world's wealth, what they pursue is no longer material enjoyment, but how to achieve immortality so that they can enjoy the ultimate luxury life forever.
"Once you're inside, just do as I say. Don't worry, as long as you help me diligently, I won't treat you unfairly."
It's just a small amount of money, yet these people are willing to risk their lives for it.
