Chapter 36 Laboratory (Part 2)
"Two hundred meters to the left front, two enemy guards are approaching." Wei Rui's voice came through the earphone.
A group of four people have sneaked into the laboratory and moved forward silently. Yue Jian and Cai Ji are in the lead, and Gu Nian and Zhuo Huai are in the rear. Communications soldier Wei Rui is not good at fighting, so he stayed in the shelter outside the laboratory and used the laboratory's surveillance cameras to provide remote support to everyone.
Hearing Wei Rui's voice, Yue Jian made a tactical gesture to Cai Ji. Cai Ji understood and nodded slightly.
The two men immediately accelerated and rushed forward. The two enemy guards almost met face to face. Before they could even scream, they were knocked unconscious and then dragged into a nearby empty room.
After the brief interlude, the four continued on their way. On the way, they encountered three more laboratory researchers. The four of them worked together to quickly resolve the situation. Fortunately, it did not cause too much noise.
Wei Rui shouted anxiously into his earphones: "Now, there is no obstacle at the moment. Turn right and you will see the main laboratory... Zila Zila..."
All the sounds coming from the earphones turned into the noise of electricity, and all the lights on the road went out. It seemed that there was a problem with the power supply in the laboratory. But there was no time to hesitate, the opportunity was fleeting, and the four of them quickly moved forward according to the route. Sure enough, after turning right, they saw a room. The flashlight shone on the doorplate, which said Laboratory No. 6, but there was a solid iron door at the entrance.
Yuejian frowned and walked forward to check the lock. Just as he was about to chop it violently, a pair of slender hands beside him handed him three door cards.
"Try this." Gu Nian said. "I found it on the bodies of the researchers who were knocked unconscious just now." She was responsible for the cover at the end, so she had time. Unexpectedly, the door card she found by chance actually came in handy.
Yuejian pressed the door cards on the sensing area one by one, and finally, when he tried the last one, the door lock popped open.
Everyone quickly entered the laboratory. According to the information they had obtained from interrogating Wu Fei, there were 6 laboratories in total, but the most important one was Laboratory No. 6, which was also their first target.
The four of them carefully shone their flashlights and looked around. This laboratory was very large and divided into several areas. On the innermost table was a computer, and next to it were several stacks of experimental materials. A row of cabinets against the wall held stacks of experimental files. In the middle were various large experimental instruments and test tube reagents. There was a large restraint chair that was already stained with blood, all of which were bloodstains left by mutant beasts.
Zhuo Huai stayed at the door to keep watch, ready to remind everyone at any time. Cai Ji quickly took out the folding space box, opened it quickly, picked up the experimental materials and quickly put them into the box. Gu Nian also joined him. Yue Jian beside him began to dismantle the computer and other recording instruments, intending to put them into the folding space box. They were only responsible for transportation, and only needed to hand over the materials to the professionals of Noah Research Institute for research.
As Gu Nian packed her folders, she scanned the file numbers from time to time. She soon noticed that all files with the same letter code were for the same experimental project. She simply began to search quickly along the filing cabinet, quickly pulling out the experimental files to check. Not long after, she found the information on the mutant rats. "The files starting with X are all research data on the mutant rat project."
What else can I say? The three of them worked together to quickly take out all the files that started with the code X and quickly stuffed them into the space folding box.
After the last file was stuffed in, Yuejian said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
However, at this moment, the lights suddenly came on, the room was as bright as day, and several footsteps were heard at the same time.
"I was just about to entertain the guests, and you guys just left like that without even saying hello to the host?" A man led a team over.
"Is he the expert from Jiangcheng? He was able to hack into our laboratory's network. I wanted to ask for your advice." He said with a chuckle.
Gu Nian turned his wrist and immediately picked up the bow and arrow, Yue Jian also drew his sword, and behind the two, Cai Ji took the opportunity to quickly put away the space folding box. The three looked at the team vigilantly, and the other party also held guns and looked at them vigilantly.
Needless to say, the leader was none other than Mr. Qiu, who claimed to have received divine inspiration. He was dressed in a white robe, looked gentle, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked at them with eyes full of compassion and a superior look.
He sighed sadly: "The end of the world has come. Everyone is a sinner. Death is the only way to atone for sin. Why can't humans see through this truth? Why do they have to struggle?"
Behind him were five tall and strong men, who seemed to be his bodyguards. In the hands of one of the bald strong men, Zhuo Huai was tied up tightly and his mouth was blocked with a rag.
The bald man was an expert in knocking down Zhuo Huai so quickly that he didn't even have time to call for help. Because Zhuo Huai was still in his hands, Gu Nian and his group didn't make any moves for the time being. They just looked at Mr. Qiu warily, wanting to see what he was going to do.
"Jiangcheng is a den of sin, and the people here are unwilling to atone for their sins. Fortunately, I received the inspiration from the Father God and obtained the holy object, so I was able to build a laboratory here. The mutant rats have also evolved successfully. Jiangcheng only needs to be destroyed obediently. Why struggle? Why don't you understand that we are all evil people who must atone for our sins?" Qiu Yongkang asked doubtfully, and there was even some helplessness in his expression.
He really felt he was helping the world.
Gu Nian clearly realized that this man was crazy. She really couldn't understand why a normal person would have such a crazy idea - the end of the world is because this world is sinful, and everyone must take the initiative to die to atone for their sins before they can enter the kingdom of God in heaven. And in order to achieve this weird and crazy doctrine, he even took the initiative to destroy the lives of an entire city?
Gu Nian shuddered.
Yue Jian interrupted Mr. Qiu and said suddenly, "The mutant rat tide has been stopped. I'm afraid your plan will fail. The priest who failed to complete the instructions of the gods, who knows if he will go to hell? Instead of worrying about the sinners in Jiangcheng, you might as well worry about yourself first."
Qiu Yongkang stopped talking. He stared at Yuejian angrily. The pain in his heart was exposed by him. A twisted malice appeared on his face. "What do you know? You don't understand how much ahead of the times the technology given to me by Father God is! As long as I kill you and give me another month, no, ten days, there will be an endless supply of mutant beasts..."
At this moment, three armor-piercing arrows were shot out quickly, all towards the bald man's eyes. The bald man subconsciously used his hands to block, but when his hands loosened their strength, Zhuo Huai kicked out with his legs and struggled out. The bald man also leaned back quickly, and the other four men came to their senses and quickly shot their bullets.
However, Gu Nian fell to the ground, dodging the bullets, while lying sideways on the ground, he did not forget to shoot arrows continuously, three arrows each time, going straight towards the four people who were still shooting bullets. In order to avoid the arrows, the four people dodged in a panic, and the bullets had already lost their accuracy. In just such a brief moment, the fire blockade line was broken, which was enough for Yue Jian to get close quickly.
The sword flashed like snow and blood splattered everywhere. After just a glance, a guard fell to the ground with a groan. At this time, Cai Ji behind him had also approached him and confiscated his gun.
Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. Just when Yue Jian spoke to provoke Mr. Qiu, he had already made tactical gestures behind his back to let Gu Nian and Cai Ji prepare. Then, while Mr. Qiu was replying, the three of them attacked at the same time and turned the situation around.
Gu Nian quickly shot a burning arrow, aiming directly at the bald man. Zhuo Huai took advantage of this opportunity and quickly rushed forward to escape again. The four-man team had no more worries and attacked bravely. Yue Jian and Cai Ji teamed up and quickly knocked down the two guards. The bald man was also injured by Gu Nian's continuous shooting, and Zhuo Huai came close to finish him off.
The situation is reversed.
Listening to the screams and groans of his guards, Qiu Yongkang never expected that his advantage would be overturned just because of a moment of carelessness. Ever since he received the divine inspiration and followed the instructions of the gods, he has been going smoothly, but he didn't expect that he would suffer such a huge setback today!
Zhuo Huai quickly stepped forward, put Qiu Yongkang's hands behind his back, and tied his wrists tightly.
"Let's go to the innermost room." Yuejian said.
The four of them pushed Qiu Yongkang in front and moved quickly along the passage. At the end of the dark passage, they entered the mysterious room.
This turned out to be a prayer room. The statue in the middle was as tall as a person, with a beautiful and compassionate face, a long veil hanging down, and the lower body seemed to be floating on the waves. But when you get closer, you will find that it is not the waves at all, but soft tentacles.
What kind of god is this? Gu Nian couldn't help but be amazed. She simply took out her mobile phone and took a photo of the statue. She decided to give the picture of this strange statue and the experimental data to Noah's professionals for research.
In the hands of the statue, there was a huge crystal stone, as big as a human head, with many beautiful and smooth facets like a diamond. It looked like the holy object mentioned by the believers. Even from a distance of several meters, everyone present could sense the powerful spiritual fluctuations emanating from the crystal stone. Not only that, if you looked closely at the spiritual stone, you could see the shadow of a huge monster inside the crystal stone, emitting a terrifying might.
This was the life product of an extremely powerful mutant beast. Even after death, it still exuded its might, protecting the laboratory and making other mutant beasts afraid to approach.
Cai Ji walked slowly forward, intending to take the crystal.
Seeing Cai Ji getting closer and closer to the holy object in his heart, Qiu Yongkang felt despair in his heart. The Father God had not come until this moment, so he must be extremely disappointed in him...
The holy object cannot fall into the hands of this group of people. This is the only last resort... Qiu Yongkang whispered silently: "...Father from the farther stars, your believers dedicate their souls and lives in exchange for your grace, so that I can defeat evil..."
An astonishing wave of heat suddenly surged from his body.
Qiu Yongkang struggled desperately and unexpectedly broke free from Zhuo Huai's restraints, rushing towards the statue faster than Cai Ji!
Gu Nian frowned and immediately drew her arrow and shot. However, she didn't need to do that at all - Qiu Yongkang slammed his head hard into the huge crystal. The sharp corners cracked his forehead and blood flowed down. The crystal, bathed in blood, actually began to crack.
Countless dazzling rays of light leaped out from the inside of the crystal. Those rays were so dangerous that everyone present was horrified.
"You all will be buried with me! Don't be complacent, the plague... will be here soon!" Qiu Yongkang's shrill voice rang out, and a large amount of blood spurted out of his forehead. His head tilted, and he died with his eyes open.
Needless to say, the group of four retreated quickly without bothering to pick up any items. Everyone knew that they had to get away from here as soon as possible.
Gu Nian's heart was pounding. As she ran at full speed, blood rushed to her ears and brain. She could even hear the sound of the wind. Finally, she passed through the cave and escaped from the entrance of the laboratory.
Behind her, Yue Jian, Zhuo Huai, and Cai Ji also came out quickly. They were only milliseconds apart. In the cave behind them, there was a deafening roar and an explosion. The crystal stone actually blew up the entire laboratory! Right in front of them, the cave collapsed!
Several people dodged forward in a hurry, rocks and dirt fell, dust scattered everywhere, and they finally reached the safe area.
At this time, Wei Rui also rushed over from the shelter: "Oh my God, what happened to you? Why...it collapsed?"
Everyone looked at each other, no one knew where to start.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the jungle and chaotic footsteps. Everyone present immediately picked up their weapons and looked over vigilantly.
The leaves were pushed aside, and out came Yu Ziqiu and Shouzhi, who finally arrived with the others.
-------------------------------------
The giant beast roared, and swung its long tail behind it, swinging the human behind it like a steel whip. The lion's mouth opened, revealing sharp teeth shining with a cold light, and saliva mixed with blood and flesh dripped down.
More and more people were injured, and Yu Ziqiu could feel that his reaction speed was gradually decreasing, which was a sign of physical exhaustion on the battlefield.
If this continued, everyone would be killed by this monster. Despair welled up in her heart.
They had considered organizing the team to quickly leave the battlefield and simply escape. Compared to losing a team's lives for no reason at the hands of this giant beast, running away was not shameful. However, this giant beast seemed to be staring at them closely, not giving them a chance to escape from the battlefield.
No. It's better to fight than to be worn out.
She shouted, "Cover me and take me to the head of the giant beast!" While shouting, Yu Ziqiu quickly rushed towards the giant beast.
The member of Action Team 2 who had been cooperating with her the longest understood and tried his best to use his body to clear a path for her. Yu Ziqiu heard the dull sound of the beast's claws piercing into flesh and blood. It was the team members who blocked it with their bodies, allowing her to get closer to the beast.
When the giant beast came close, Shou Zhi did not hesitate to expose his body and stood straight in front of the beast. When its sharp teeth bit him, he just protected his vital parts and did not move. Yu Ziqiu took the opportunity to jump up, stepped on Shou Zhi's shoulder, and somersaulted in the air to jump onto the shoulder of the giant beast.
The moment she turned over, a pill fell out. It was the pill that Gu Nian had given her. As if possessed by some mysterious force, Yu Ziqiu raised her head and swallowed the pill. She was determined to die anyway, so it would be okay even if she took the wrong pill, right?
Her body flipped over in the air, and at the moment of falling, she used the momentum to stab the sword in her hand into the beast's head.
Using all her strength and ignoring any defense, Yu Ziqiu was suddenly pierced through the back by the scorpion's tail. Large amounts of blood gushed out of her body. She did not loosen her arms and stabbed down desperately. Unfortunately, she was almost out of strength.
The pill dissolved completely in her mouth, leaving a hint of sweetness.
A huge force suddenly erupted in the next second, and the arm that was about to loosen was filled with strength again for some reason, and it was even stronger than before. Without caring about being surprised, Yu Ziqiu pressed down hard in ecstasy, and the big sword finally pierced through the giant beast's head!
Like a nightmare monster, its head was pierced through and it was completely dead.
Yu Ziqiu jumped off the giant beast and could still feel the power. The pills that Gu Nian gave him were so powerful! It greatly refreshed Yu Ziqiu's cognition!
"Let's go, everyone, bandage your wounds and rush forward!" Yu Ziqiu shouted. There was only a team of five people rushing to the laboratory, and it was difficult to guarantee the completion of the mission. After dealing with the scorpion lion beast, they had to rush to support quickly.
The team fighting against the Scorpion Lion were all veterans. They quickly bandaged their wounds and moved forward in the jungle. Fortunately, Wei Rui, who came from the military, left road signs along the way. Everyone was busy on the road, and just when the valley appeared in their field of vision, they heard the sound of a loud explosion!
Yu Ziqiu was stunned at first, then she became anxious. She and Shou Zhi hurried forward and happened to run into Gu Nian and his group.
"What happened? Why did it explode?" Yu Ziqiu's face showed the same astonishment as Wei Rui's. "What happened?"
"It's a long story..." Yue Jian said with a wry smile: "Let's rescue the wounded at the back first..."
While Yu Ziqiu and Yue Jian were talking, everyone's attention was drawn to the explosion. Everyone was either resting on the spot or treating their wounds. Gu Nian took advantage of the opportunity and quickly left.
She pulled out a crumpled map from her bosom.
While searching for information in Laboratory No. 6, everyone also found a map. The map recorded some areas near the laboratory and had no value. However, when escorting Mr. Qiu out of Laboratory No. 6, Gu Nian quickly stuffed the map into his arms.
On the map, there is a spring mark in the northeast of the cave. This is where the laboratory members get water.
Following the map, Gu Nian quickly found the spring. Affected by the collapse of the cave, the spring had completely collapsed, and the spring water flowed along the cracked ground in a stream. The nearby spiritual plants had been smashed to pieces, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a lotus-like plant.
Although the ground was covered with cracks and dust, the scattered water was still crystal clear, with wisps of white mist floating in it, emitting strong spiritual fluctuations.
The little lotus cat came out from Gu Nian's clothes and slapped her face with its paws. Gu Nian understood that it was urging her to collect the money.
She took out the small gourd that the nine-tailed fox had given her. This small gourd had been with her for several days, but the skin was still green and tender, as if it had just been picked from a vine. It looked cute and exquisite. Gu Nian dipped the mouth of the gourd into the trickle. According to the nine-tailed fox's instructions, she carefully practiced breathing techniques and injected spiritual power into the small gourd. The mouth of the gourd instantly generated a huge suction force, which stirred up a rapidly rotating vortex on the water surface. The trickle was immediately sucked back into the gourd, just like a whale swallowing a long river. Soon, the water drops scattered around the spring were gone.
Only the last drop of water is left.
The drop of water was round in shape, and it stubbornly resisted, dodging left and right, but it just wouldn't enter the small gourd. Gu Nian had no choice but to grit his teeth and squeeze all the spiritual energy in his body into the small gourd. Only then did the drop of water roll in unwillingly. Gu Nian could vaguely hear an angry hum in his ear.
Shaking his head to get rid of this strange illusion, Gu Nian put away the small gourd and returned to the cave.
A simple camp had been built in front of the collapsed cave. Everyone was resting on the spot, some were nursing their wounds, some were cooking to fill their stomachs, and Gu Nian quietly merged into the crowd without attracting attention.
She found an open space and sat down to rest her exhausted nerves.
However, Yu Ziqiu found her and solemnly extended his hand to her.
Gu Nian was puzzled.
"Thank you." Yu Ziqiu said seriously. "Your medicine saved my life at the most critical moment, and indirectly saved them as well."
That pill? Gu Nian quickly remembered the powerful diamond pill she had given to Yu Ziqiu before the team was divided. Seeing Yu Ziqiu so serious, Gu Nian also shook it back: "You're welcome."
"You can't say that." Yu Ziqiu shook his head, "I'll remember this favor."
Someone called Yu Ziqiu from a distance. She was responsible for arranging the follow-up team and picking up the wounded. Yu Ziqiu nodded to Gu Nian and turned to leave.
It seems that the powerful diamond pill is very useful. I should go back and find out how to use this medicine that can enhance combat power, Gu Nian thought to himself.
