In the dark and eerie abandoned base, a few faint beams of light pierced the thick darkness.
The group huddled together and made slow, careful steps as they made their way deeper into the area.
Every now and then, I would step on shards of broken glass on the ground, making a sharp, grating sound that seemed particularly jarring in the quiet, empty environment, sending chills down my spine.
In the darkness, a few glimmers of light occasionally flashed in Xiao Wujie's eyes, his deep gaze piercing through the darkness, exploring a range that was beyond the reach of ordinary eyesight.
Unlike the others who were tense, he appeared quite calm.
Chu Liyue's warm, smooth, slender hand tightly enveloped his slightly cool palm. The wonderful touch and warmth emanating from her hand, combined with the heat generated by his constant walking, made his usually icy body feel warm and comfortable.
He also quite enjoyed the feeling of standing shoulder to shoulder with her and facing the storms together.
Peaceful years, gentle days.
He willingly concealed his sharp edges, obeyed in everything, and became a good boy who only wanted to please her.
If a strong wind suddenly rises, towering waves will appear.
He would stand by her side, braving wind and rain to protect her from harm in the slightest.
He relied on and trusted her without reservation.
He wouldn't accept being a useless person who would hold her back, and he also had the ability to protect her from the wind and rain.
Chu Liyue, who was holding his hand tightly and carefully moving forward, seemed to sense his emotions. She looked at him with a touch of doting in her eyes and gently scratched his palm with her slender fingers.
Everything is understood without words.
After passing through a series of narrow corridors, the view ahead suddenly opens up.
"We should have reached the central area."
The flashlight beam swept across the surroundings at high speed, and the voice of the person in charge was tinged with a hint of joy.
"First, find the central switch and turn on the lights."
Having determined their location, Chu Liyue's cool, indifferent, and authoritative voice rang out.
With their extensive experience, the group quickly located the control panel. As the switch labeled "Main Power" was pressed, a buzzing sound of electricity filled the air.
The next moment, all the lights in the base came on, and the intense light made everyone close their eyes in unison.
Thanks to the goggles, everyone quickly adapted to the sudden light, and the central area of the base was clearly visible to them.
The central area is a huge circular hall with countless complex pipes hanging from the ceiling, forming a vast network.
Rows of fluorescent tubes are installed on the surrounding walls, making the entire space appear more spacious under the light.
What truly draws everyone's attention is the enormous, transparent cylinder that stands upright in the center of the hall.
It is estimated to be over ten meters in diameter and more than twenty meters in height. Its interior is filled with a strange green liquid, in which various large and small animals and human corpses float.
Even more disturbing are those that piece together human and animal bodies, resulting in grotesque and distorted appearances that send chills down your spine.
"This is Deadpool's incubation dish. His physical strength is tempered with special reagents. Later, as long as a chip is implanted in his brain, he can be used as a killing machine that knows no pain or hesitation..."
Seeing the trembling looks on everyone's faces, Chu Liyue stared coldly at the huge petri dish and spoke in a cold voice.
"How...is this possible?"
"I've been here many times before, and I've never seen this before..."
The contact person, who was most familiar with this base and closest to the petri dish, couldn't help but murmur in a trembling voice.
Chu Liyue narrowed her cold eyes slightly upon hearing this, her gaze sweeping over the strange data on the display screen below the petri dish.
Judging from the recorded dates, this petri dish has been around for quite some time.
This abandoned base had long been occupied by others; this unusual activity was merely a deliberate tactic to lure her here.
But if this behind-the-scenes rat thinks this abandoned base can keep her here, isn't that incredibly naive...?
But if he wasn't so naive, then why did he go to all that trouble to lure her here?
Just as her thoughts were flowing, Xiao Wujie, whose hand she was holding, suddenly clenched his eyes and looked into the deeper part of the base.
Immediately afterwards, her ears twitched slightly, and she also noticed the strangeness deep inside the base.
There's a sound...
"Snap out of it! It's Deadpool!"
Chu Liyue's cold eyes suddenly narrowed, and she reacted instantly, letting out a cold shout.
The moment she finished speaking, she pulled Xiao Wujie behind her, shielding him, drew the dagger from her waist, and gave him instructions.
"Sweetie, stay by my side and don't run around. They have no independent will, and your illusions won't work on them."
Everyone else felt their scalps tingle upon hearing her words. Leng Ruxue swiftly pulled several guns from her bag, tossed them into the hands of the group, and shouted:
"Don't worry about using this gun. It's specially made and won't ignite flammable or explosive materials."
Just as everyone was making their preparations, the unusual noises coming from deep within the base grew louder and more urgent.
In the blink of an eye, several blurry figures appeared at the end of the corridor. They were extremely fast and arrived in front of everyone almost instantly.
They were covered in a bizarre green liquid identical to that in the petri dish, and their appearance was gruesome. Their skin was a sickly grayish-white, covered with cracks and pustules, and in some places, even exposed muscle and bone could be seen.
Its eyes were completely empty, just two black holes, and sharp teeth were protruding from its mouth. There was still some undried green liquid hanging from the corner of its mouth, as if it were an evil spirit that had escaped from hell.
Their empty eyes stared at the crowd, a low growl emanating from their throats, and they pounced with ferocious expressions.
"Damn! They didn't even say hello, they have even less manners than me!"
With a roar, Lu Zhufeng immediately moved his feet, stepped forward alone, and kicked down several of the death servants who were charging at the front.
Instead of using the special guns that Leng Ruxue had given them, he somehow put on a pair of gleaming silver steel gloves.
Although it was his first time encountering something like a zombie, he clearly understood from Chu Liyue's words that this thing was incredibly tough and difficult to kill with a single blow.
In such a situation, someone among them would inevitably have to step forward to stop these ghostly things to prevent them from being scattered and trapped in a predicament.
He's the one who has to be the meat shield at the front, taking all the beatings. Only he can do it.
As he acted as a human shield to withstand the first wave of attacks, several gunshots rang out in succession.
Under the cold, snow-white, specially made firearms, Deadpool's incredibly hard head crumbled like tofu.
As long as you aim at the target, one shot, one kill, crisp and clean.
Several enormous heads exploded, and dark green blood burst out like fireworks, instantly splattering all over Lu Zhufeng's body and face.
He desperately held back several gaping, foul-smelling mouths that were lunging at him, baring their teeth and claws, trying to get past him and pounce on the Deadpool behind him. He couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it! Don't treat me like I'm not human!"
