Chapter 348 Deep Virtual Reality 176
"Director Xu..." The assistant sighed inwardly as he looked at the latest notice.
The Security Bureau sent a special task force, and their operation had to be suspended. Xu Sanci was very reluctant, his gaze falling on the mutated bird-eating spider in front of him. "Release the other test subjects as well."
"Should we release them all?"
"Let them all out. The alien creatures have a special connection with each other, so it will be faster for them to find it on their own."
The assistant took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "Director Xu, the control devices we brought can't control so many advanced experimental subjects at once. What if they get out of control..."
Under Xu Sanci's increasingly stern gaze, the assistant stopped speaking and abruptly changed the subject, "We have a backup control device, so there shouldn't be any problems."
If there are any problems, they can only blame themselves. Of course, the ones who will suffer are not the test subjects, but those who are accidentally injured by the test subjects.
As soon as Xie Ning stepped into the transport truck, he smelled a salty, damp seawater odor. The truck contained four containers, one of which was empty and had probably been taken away.
As for the other three... Xie Ning slightly turned her head to look at 208, "Can you control them?"
208 shook his head, "Stupid."
"Then let's deal with it, and then we'll go check on the one that was taken out."
Xie Ning turned up the jammer, and behind him came the sounds of shattering glass and tearing flesh, followed by the low, angry howls of the alien creatures—their last struggle.
In the dim light, the car walls reflected the waving, writhing tentacles, which looked even more sinister after being splattered with bright red blood.
The sound of conversation came from outside the car. Xie Ning heard their decision to release all the alien biological test subjects. His eyes turned cold, and he grabbed 208's hand and jumped out.
From afar, Xie Ning could still hear the screams of the transport truck workers. He glanced in the direction the workers were running from, then stealthily made his way to Xu Sanci's location with 208.
Seemingly sensing 208's presence, the mutated bird-eating spider, which had already half-wrapped the alien creature, suddenly became agitated. It even disregarded the prey under its legs, its pale face constantly scanning the area, seemingly trying to find 208's figure.
"What's wrong with it?" Xu Sanci asked, puzzled.
Looking at the fluctuating data on the panel, the assistant guessed, "They must have sensed the alien creatures around them."
"Then let's help 365 solve this problem first, so that it can have time to find another one. It's wasting too much time. This thing is slippery and difficult to deal with."
Xie Ning squatted on the tree and asked 208, "Can it be controlled?"
"Hmm... I'll die." Seeing 208's gaze fall on Xu Sanci's controller, Xie Ning instantly understood its meaning. If 208 forced the mutated bird-eating spider to turn around and devour its master, Xu Sanci would inevitably activate the destruction system within his body.
After all, their own lives were at stake, and they couldn't remain as nonchalant as they used to be.
However, Xie Ning did not intend to make a move here. Since she could control it, she would leave it for now. She still needed to deal with the other alien creatures.
If those alien creatures hide, drones will be unable to detect their exact location. Therefore, Xie Ning has been working on improvements, hoping that she can fully optimize the functionality of such detection instruments when they become more widespread.
Xie Ning, who was about to leave, paused and whispered, "Take it with you too."
Staying here will only bring trouble in the end. She doesn't mind if it hurts Xu Sanci, but others are innocent. Since she has the ability to suppress it, she naturally doesn't mind doing more.
Moreover, she wanted to retrieve something.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock—" At the end of the corridor hung a mechanical electronic clock, which was now ticking to 6:00 PM. Under the hands stood a person who was soaked to the bone.
Seemingly sensing Xie Ning's arrival, the man stiffly turned his head, grinned widely, his eyes darting around, and his pale face was covered with fine, dark blue lines, like cracks, giving him an eerie and sinister appearance.
Has it been parasitized?
Xie Ning quickened his pace to approach, and the other person blinked and instantly moved down the stairs beside him at an incredible speed. By the time Xie Ning reached the top of the stairs, he had no idea which floor he had reached.
Although his appearance changed, his superpower remained the same, so Xie Ning destroyed the surveillance cameras before using his superpower to move, which would make him faster.
The person left behind a semi-transparent slime where they moved, so Xie Ning easily followed behind them. This seemed to be a biological research building. Xie Ning didn't usually attend classes in this building; he only occasionally listened to graduate lectures here.
So Xie Ning didn't know what was under this building.
The further down you go, the dimmer the lights become, and they also emit crackling electrical noises. Xie Ning didn't notice this and just kept going down to the bottom floor.
The incandescent bulb above was slowly enveloped by a lump of mud, and the light grew dimmer and dimmer until it went out completely. It seemed that the presence of water caused it to emit a crackling electrical sound.
Below are various pipework facilities, some of which are already rusted. The sound of water dripping is particularly clear in the quiet and empty basement.
There was also a faint wriggling sound, a gurgling sound that sent chills down one's spine. Xie Ning turned his head to look at 208, only to see it staring straight in one direction, its eyes filled with interest.
Xie Ning threw a hovering ball at the exit. Through her night vision goggles, she could clearly see the slime on the ground and the drag marks of blood that had turned dark red.
