Chapter 296 Deep Virtual Reality 123
"Xiao Ning, are you done?" Jiang Teng called out from below. He felt a bit cold, perhaps because they had gone several floors underground and the heating system was no longer working.
Xie Ning stared blankly at the neatly severed lines. Was this deliberately cut? Could there be someone else in this experimental base?
There was a suspicious liquid on the lid next to her. Xie Ning rubbed some between her fingers and examined it closely. The grayish-green viscous liquid stood out against the white glove and looked somewhat familiar... A flash of inspiration struck Xie Ning, and she remembered!
"The Serpent Demon!" It was Professor Lillian and her team's alien creature test subject!
But why was it the Knife Snake Demon who cut the surveillance line?
Xie Ning was completely baffled and wanted to tell Jiang Teng about it, but Jiang Teng, who had been calling her just moments before, was now silent, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
"Jiang Teng!?"
There was no response. Xie Ning paused, involuntarily gripping the repair tools in her hand, and continued calling out, "Jiang Teng! Assistant Jiang!"
Then some sounds came from inside, but they were just crunching sounds, which made one's scalp tingle in the quiet space. Xie Ning glanced at the narrow and long passage and immediately decided to climb out first.
Just then, a hissing sound came from the entrance, and a palm-sized spider dangled down, its scarlet single eye reflecting light, which was extremely creepy.
Xie Ning didn't think anything of it until the first, the second, the third... countless reddish-brown spiders crawled in, their dense red dots lighting up one after another under the light.
Xie Ning swallowed hard. The road ahead was blocked, and there was a dead end behind him.
Although she was wearing protective clothing, Xie Ning didn't dare to be careless when she saw so many spiders in front of her, and they seemed to be mutated spiders. The moment they swarmed over, she reached out and froze them.
This space is too small; it's inconvenient to use fire and knives.
Xie Ning pushed the icicle covered in spiders out and jumped down at great speed. But as soon as she came out, a piece of spider silk came straight at her. She couldn't dodge it in time, and the spider silk stuck firmly to her left hand.
Only then did she realize what the situation was like outside.
On the ground lay Jiang Teng's mangled corpse, next to which was a reddish-brown mutated spider, about waist-high to hers, its mouthparts... its chelicerae still clung to bits of flesh and bright red blood.
Although it wasn't the same color, the familiar appearance instantly reminded Xie Ning of the mutated spider he had encountered in the forest earlier that day. This mutated spider was clearly smaller and was indeed a male mutated bird-eating spider.
"Click-clack—"
The mutated spider quickly gathered its silk, trying to pull Xie Ning over. The extremely sticky silk pulled Xie Ning so hard that he stumbled. This couldn't go on!
Xie Ning slightly bent her fingers, and the surrounding cameras suddenly shattered. Then, following the momentum of the mutated spider, she quickly leaped towards it.
Frost covered the spider silk, which was originally soft and strong, but instantly became extremely hard and easily fell off. Using this momentum, Xie Ning flipped over and jumped onto the back of the mutated spider, and a long knife suddenly appeared in his hand.
With a swift, chilling slash, she severed the mutated spider's exoskeleton, which even bullets couldn't penetrate. The spider's head spun around, and the cut, which was about to splatter liquid, was instantly frozen.
Xie Ning was not stained with a single speck of dirt.
Maintaining a certain image in front of others is one thing, but that doesn't mean she lacks ability.
Thinking of the slime she had just seen, Xie Ning ran quickly toward the central control room. If it was really as she thought, she didn't know how Professor Lillian was doing, but the central control room was definitely in danger.
As soon as she opened the door to the central control room, she was thrown out by the powerful blast from the explosion inside, and an unbearable buzzing sound pierced her nerves.
Xie Ning's eyes were bloodshot. He instinctively looked up and saw the two alien experimental subjects emerge from the darkness.
Although she had been extremely careful and dodged to the side the moment the door opened, she was still jolted by the airflow and felt her blood surging.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious.
Xie Ning spat out a mouthful of blood. Two sharp gusts of wind came rushing in. She rolled over to dodge the attack, then raised her knife to block the attack of one of the alien creatures. With lightning speed, she took the gun from her waist with her left hand and fired a shot into their eyes.
