Chapter 56 Perfect New World (Twenty-Six)
Until the last bit of white light in the big pool was absorbed into Nanhuan's body and the blue liquid completely disappeared.
Nan Huan suddenly lost weight in mid-air, and before he could flap his wings, Bei Xi grabbed him and held him in his arms.
Although absorbing so much white light has not yet caused any change in Nan Huan's health, Nan Huan still can't adapt to it all of a sudden.
She was in Bei Xi's arms, breathing slightly, until she saw the groove, "There... the key..."
There is a clover mark on the groove, which matches the tooth shape of the key.
Proves that they must have found the right place.
[Miss Player, completely cleared the raw material pre-processing area, brutally killed the person in charge, Michelle, and made the leader ecstatic, count 100...]
Just as Bei Xi was supporting her and trying to get closer to the groove at the bottom of the pool, the system in Nan Huan's mind suddenly spoke.
What does it mean to clear the raw material pretreatment area?
Isn’t it just letting the werewolf fight a few monsters?
Who else brutally murdered Michelle, the person in charge?
Just before she jumped down, the other party was still shouting and trying to catch her?
But no matter what, Nan Huan was still very happy and gave himself 100 points.
But for some reason the system seemed to be stuck and stopped halfway through the sentence.
Nanhuan's footsteps also paused.
"What's wrong?" Bei Xi asked puzzledly.
"It's stuck."
Nan Huan knew that this was a voice that the system broadcast only to her, so she was about to explain to Bei Xi that the extra points she got alone might be enough to offset the efforts of everyone.
But before she could open her mouth, the system's voice rang again.
[Miss Player, the raw material pre-processing area has been completely cleared, causing the competition target for the main quest to no longer exist.]
[The main quest is being updated...]
Nan Huan stood there in a daze, finding it difficult to understand what it meant that the competitive target did not exist?
What is the goal of the competition?
Oh, by the way, I want to be promoted to first-class technician within a week.
The first-class technicians are the workers in the raw materials pre-processing area. Now that the person in charge of the raw materials pre-processing area has died tragically, the entire area has been cleared, and of course the competitive target no longer exists.
Nan Huan felt a little wronged. She only asked the werewolf to help her resist the damage from a wave of monsters, and did not ask it to clear the field.
He didn't realize at all that it was because of him that the bionic people withered and dried up.
As if he noticed Bei Xi's gaze on his face, which was a little hard to ignore, Nan Huan raised his head and saw that the other person also had a look of confusion.
It suddenly dawned on me that the following notification was not meant for me alone.
"You heard that, too?"
Nan Huan felt a little annoyed. Why did he make himself sound like a troublemaker?
"The movement up there seems to be less, it might be related to the light in the pool."
Bei Xi's senses were quite sensitive, and even though they were at the bottom of the pool, she could still feel something different above, so she had to offer words of comfort.
But the way I hear this sounds weird, as if it's helping Nanhuan to justify its reputation.
Nan Huan pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Perhaps after the main quest is updated, it will be more favorable to the players, and the elimination rate will not be so high?"
Seeing that what he just said didn't work, Bei Xi quickly changed to another way of comforting.
Two minutes later.
After the system said that the main quest was being updated, it remained silent.
Nan Huan was a little puzzled, "What's going on? Not enough memory? Or is it stuck again?"
She typed the system several times in her mind but got no response, and became a little annoyed.
Bei Xi rubbed her head and said, "Then let's go in and take a look. Since we've already caused trouble, let's take a look at the hidden files first. Maybe there are more clues."
I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway.
Nan Huan thought it made sense, so he took out the key and inserted it into the groove.
Before she could turn around, she suddenly thought of another question, "Did the other players hear the announcement from the system just now?"
Bei Xi pinched her ear and said, "This isn't the first time your title has been exposed. What are you worried about?"
Nan Huan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
The system had notified her when she got the fragment of the faith totem before, three times in a row. This time it was just child's play.
As the key turned, a faint light came through the groove, and the ravine rising from the ground opened in front of the two people like a door.
In the packaging area, except for Packaging Team 3, the players of the other two teams have been exploring ways to get extra points.
Because of the sudden disappearance of Beixi and Nanhuan, Mu Xin had to focus on adding points.
Just when some people were being rolled up and some were lying down, the system suddenly issued a notification.
[Miss Player, the raw material pre-processing area has been completely cleared, causing the competition target for the main quest to no longer exist.]
[The main quest is being updated...]
What?
What does it mean to completely clear the raw material pretreatment area?
What does it mean that the competitive goal no longer exists?
The players were all stunned for a moment, and some of the slower players were still wondering.
When did the young lady go to the raw material pre-processing area?
This is also the first time I've seen such a mission update.
Then what?
What about the updated one?
For a moment, more players didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.
Fortunately, this main quest with a high elimination rate cannot be done this way.
What worries me is that I wonder if the main quest will be updated to a more dangerous one because of the young lady’s behavior?
When entering this game copy from Nanhuan, Twelve would of course have anticipated that the direction of the copy might be different from the original one.
After all, the eldest lady alone caused such a big commotion in the "Night of Blood Moon" copy.
What's more, this time the president is following the young lady, I'm afraid it will be even crazier.
But Twelve really didn't expect that the competitive target of the main mission of the game would be lost. This was such a crazy thing.
In particular, the system seemed to be stuck at this time, and the players all looked at Twelve with confused faces.
Since Nan Huan and Bei Xi were not there, she naturally became the focus of everyone else's attention.
No matter how strong Twelve's mental strength is, he is still young and has never seen such a scene. He is not sure whether other players will rush up in the next second.
Just as she realized what was happening and wanted to consult her girlfriend, what should she do?
But before he could even look up, Chenyu, who was standing beside him, grabbed his arm and ran outside desperately.
"What are you doing...let me go..."
Twelve's mouth was filled with wind. Although his feet followed the other person's running habitually, his breathing was still uneven. "Where are we going? Why are we running?"
"The president just asked Wu Tong to make a choice and said that we'd better go find the president and the eldest lady right now."
Chenyu didn't know where President Hongfen got the idea from when she heard the system notification, and she immediately went to find Wu Tong.
Before anyone could react, the decision was made to escape from the scene.
Twelve has already caught up with Hongfen, "President Hongfen, didn't you say that there is a death rule in the packaging workshop?"
Seeing that everyone had already passed through the locker rooms and was about to run to the front door, Twelve became a little worried.
Hongfen didn't even slow down her pace, "The main quest has disappeared, what other death rules are there?"
As she spoke, she had already passed through the gate safely.
The others then reacted and followed.
Because this episode happened so quickly, many players didn't react.
When they saw Hongfen and the people from Packaging Team 3 running away, the remaining players, especially Packaging Team 1 led by Mu Xin, immediately followed.
Although it is not clear what the eldest lady did that caused the main mission to be unable to continue.
Now, whether you want to understand what happened or take advantage of the chaos to get the fragments of the faith totem in the eldest lady's hands, you need to find the whereabouts of the two people first.
What's more, Hongfen has tried it for everyone, and the rule of death no longer exists.
Even if it was just to find out whether the two of them had any ideas about the fragments of the faith totem in this copy, Mu Xin would follow them.
The remaining two teams ran away, and Packaging Team 2 naturally followed suit.
Putting aside the main quest, now no matter how you look at it, it’s a competitive relationship, and naturally you don’t want to fall behind others.
At this time, Nanhuan and Beixi naturally didn't know that not only the raw material pre-processing area, but even the packaging area was in complete chaos.
Unexpectedly, all the players marched towards the small building in a mighty manner.
A door suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pool, and after Nan Huan and Bei Xi entered, it suddenly closed.
Not to mention that anyone else wanted to follow in, even the ravines and grooves disappeared without a trace after the two of them went in.
There was no trace of the door at the bottom of the pool, as if it had never existed.
Bei Xi naturally noticed that as the two of them entered, even the shape of the door disappeared.
She did not look for the exit immediately. After all, they were here to look for something, and generally speaking, this situation indicated that there might be other side quests in the house.
As she became more alert, she felt that the scent of the flowers and the fishy smell were very strong.
It was as if this room was the source of the smell.
But this room is a bit strange. The entire room is not very big, and it is surrounded by brown walls and has no windows.
There are no bookshelves, tables or anything like that to store files.
Looking at the archive room, it didn't bear any resemblance to the one Nan Huan saw when he was lost before.
However, ever since entering this strange room, Bei Xi always had a strange feeling of being spied on.
But when she caught the prying gaze and turned her head, she only saw the brown wall and the faint texture on it, and nothing else suspicious.
Nan Huan looked around the entire room and saw the only wall that could be touched. He was hesitating whether to check it first.
As a result, I heard a series of ping-pong sounds coming from the wall in front of me.
They saw something like a nine-square grid protruding from the wall facing the two of them. When each brown cube grew to a certain size, it separated from the wall and floated in front of Nan Huan.
Nan Huan looked carefully and saw a mark X+1-01 on the side of the cube facing him.
She still remembered seeing a folder in the archive room with only an X mark on it.
It seems that this should be the record in the X-Files, which shows the experimental record after the second phase of the experiment was started on the 31st day and the infected body No. 01-30 was injected with the second source of infection.
Nan Huan originally thought that the hidden files should refer to Phase X. In addition to files No. 31, 32, and 33, there was also a mysterious infected body.
I didn’t expect to see the test records of the second phase.
However, she still tried to point it with her finger, and found that the brown cube immediately turned into mist and disappeared after touching Nan Huan's finger.
However, a virtual screen appeared in the air in front of her and began playing the video.
In the upper right corner of the video, there is still the logo X+1-01, but there is no sound, and the number 31 is marked in the upper left corner.
The location in the shot seems to be a hospital ward. The room is very empty and there is no furniture except a bed in the corner.
The person who appeared in the camera was also the infected person No. 01 that Nan Huan was familiar with.
Her body had turned black, and just as recorded in the previous files, it was gradually losing vitality.
Then a staff member in protective clothing appeared on the screen. She was holding a very thick syringe in her hand. The syringe was half filled with black liquid, which was very viscous.
Without any hesitation, she injected it directly into the body of infected person No. 01, who no longer had the strength to struggle.
On the 31st day, after No. 01's body was injected with the source of pollution for the second time, small lumps began to bulge out from various parts of her body.
The skin was stretched to be transparent, and one could see mysterious white spots of light moving inside.
On the 32nd day, the black color on No. 01's body gradually faded and he gradually regained his vitality, but the tumor on his body did not disappear, and his original alienated abilities reappeared.
On the 33rd day, infected body No. 01 lost its cognition and became an extremely dangerous object, attacking relevant experimenters for no reason.
As the days in the upper left corner change, this loss of cognition and rationality becomes more and more obvious.
It was not until another thirty days passed, on the 61st day, that cracks began to appear on the body of infected body No. 01. Her body seemed to be rapidly drying up, slowly becoming withered and cracked, exposing her internal organs, and white light bands could be seen flashing.
It seems that this thing is only responsible for piecing together the scattered organs. As for whether the other party can act like a normal person, it is not important to the experimenter at all.
On the 62nd day, infected body No. 01 was fed a cup of blue liquid by the staff.
Nan Huan recognized that it should be the incarnation of the perfect spray before it turned into a spray, just like the one that the train attendants drank.
Then we saw that No. 01's originally cracked body began to merge.
The other party's eyes, which were originally cloudy due to losing his mind, seemed to be becoming clearer little by little, but the white light bands in his body did not seem to get along well with the blue liquid.
His eyes, which had been gradually becoming clearer, gradually became cloudy again.
Infected body No. 01 seemed to be in great pain, wavering between two states.
The video ended abruptly here, but when Nan Huan thought about the first time he saw No. 30, he knew that this experiment would not stop here.
The second cube fell from here, which is X+1-002.
The content is similar to the first video, with basically no difference.
The second phase of the experiment did not seem to be so successful, at least for patients No. 01-30.
Nan Huan looked at several cubes engraved with X+1 in a row. Instead of clicking on them with his finger, he moved them to look at the next one.
After dialing several times, I finally saw a different one - X+2-001.
Nan Huan tapped his fingers lightly.
This time, the faces in the video are not familiar, but seem to be a new group of experimental subjects. They are not some alienated infected bodies, but living normal people, at least that's what it looks like from the video.
This time, the staff wearing protective clothing again injected half a tube of black viscous liquid into the body of No. 001.
However, unlike the previous Subject No. 01, this time Subject No. 001 did not have that kind of tumor on his body, nor did he have any other alienated abilities.
However, Nan Huan could see with his naked eyes that the smile and body of Subject 001 were becoming increasingly stiff.
As the experiment progressed, the stiffness of the body gradually improved, but the facial expression and even thinking became worse than that of a normal person.
By the 61st day, her body began to dry up and crack.
After using the blue liquid, she did not show any sign of waking up. Instead, a strange smile appeared on her face, just like the other NPCs that Nan Huan saw in Perfect Company.
And this time, the video did not end abruptly here like before.
The experiment is still going on, and the next experimental venue has become larger. It is no longer confined to a small room, but a variety of social occasions with many changes.
Subject 001's various manifestations are similar to those of humans, but her emotions are not particularly stable.
If the perfect spray or liquid is not replenished in time, it will dry up or wither. Therefore, the experimenters often replenish the other party with perfect liquid when the other party has emotional problems, and then the other party will show a weird smile.
The experimental processes between them seem to be repetitive.
So the virtual screen was very considerate and helped Nanhuan speed up.
By the 1200th day, Subject 001 was basically able to perform human labor and physical labour with the assistance of the perfect liquid.
But the day of cracking finally came, just like a product reaching the end of its life.
Its dried-up interior and exposed internal organs had already begun to turn black, and the white spots of light were of no use even if one forced them to function.
It's like a product that is broken from the inside. No matter how good the engine oil is, it won't work.
The blue liquid no longer worked. In the video, No. 001 withered and dried up, like a dried flower petal, falling on the white sheets.
Based on what Nan Huan had just seen in the small building, it was not difficult to see that the experiment in the video was the predecessor of the incubation pool composed of blue liquid and white light bands in the large pool.
Nan Huan's attention was always on the video. She looked for several experimental numbers of X+2 and found that the content was similar to the first one.
Bei Xi's attention was always on this room, and he only glanced at the video occasionally to see the key points.
Because she felt that the temperature in the room seemed to be rising little by little, and the floral and fishy smells were also increasing, and the feeling of being spied on had never disappeared.
And the place where she stepped on seemed to be gradually becoming sticky.
