Chapter 113: Countdown to the End of the Laboratory (Update 1)
"Impossible!" Shangguan Jiang blurted out, "If what you said is true, why did General Li do this?"
Guan Rui also didn't believe it. "That's right. General Li has everything. If nothing unexpected happens, he will take over his father's position and become the next marshal sooner or later. He will have everything by then. Why would he risk setting up a cult organization?"
Qiao Qiao: "What if an accident happens?"
Wang Fuyun frowned: "What do you mean?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head, "It's not clear yet, but how do you explain that the smell in Li Danchen's laboratory is exactly the same as here."
"Why can't we smell it?" Shangguan Jiang said. He has admired Li Danchen since he was a child and does not allow anyone to doubt him without solid evidence.
Qiao Qiao shrugged helplessly. This was why she didn't want to tell anyone. "Forget it if you don't believe it."
Xiao Yan was getting a headache from the noise. "Stop arguing for now. The answer to the question should be in this building. Once we go in, everything will be clear."
Diwu Boshan did not want to get involved in the secret struggle between the Capital District and the Northeast District, so he stood on the edge until he spoke up: "How do we get through?"
Shangguan Jiang calculated the distance to the lake, "I can teleport there, but it's too far and I can only walk twice."
"Let me do it." Qiao Qiao used the flight card, and a pair of snow-white wings grew behind her. She hugged Tang Mingli and told Xia Momo: "Just stay and take care of the polar bears, and leave the rest to us."
Xia Momo's eyes were red: "Qiao Qiao, thank you."
With a flap of wings, Qiao Qiao took Tang Mingli and flew to the other side.
The mutant fish in the lake sensed the scent of humans and broke the ice, revealing their heads, trying to eat the meat above, but unfortunately the distance was not enough and they could only bite the air.
Tang Mingli's scalp went numb when he saw the densely packed mutant fish in the water. "Luckily, you're here, otherwise we might not be able to do anything."
Jojo chuckled.
Half an hour later, all eight people crossed the lake and arrived in front of the building.
As Wang Fuyun stretched out her hand and touched the door, a system panel popped up in front of everyone.
[Mission: Find out the truth and eliminate the "God's Descent" organization]
[Difficulty: S+]
[Task success: System dialogue qualification*1, SSR-level card pool draw ticket*1, SR-level card pool draw ticket*5, card upgrade card*1, R-level card upgrade card*2, R-level card draw ticket*10 (distributed according to contribution)]
S+!
Everyone's expressions were filled with shock but also a hint of excitement. This was the first time they had encountered an S+ mission, and it was extremely difficult, but the rewards were also exceptionally generous.
Not to mention the various card draw tickets, the first-ever system dialogue qualification alone is enough to drive everyone crazy.
Tang Mingli's expression changed slightly: "Sure enough, this place is related to the Shenjiang Organization."
Qiao Qiao took out a small camera and put it on her chest. She stroked the Qiao Man that was wrapped around her wrist and disguised as a bracelet. She held a magic wand in her hand and secretly stood behind Xiao Yan. "Ji Ling should be here."
Wang Fuyun warned: "Everyone be careful."
The others stepped back, each taking out their weapons and standing on guard.
Shangguan Jiang stood at the front, with his teleportation skill ready at any time. He kicked the door open and activated the skill to teleport to the people without waiting to see the situation inside.
…
The air was silent.
Unexpectedly, everyone thought that the enemy should be hiding behind the door, waiting for them to open the door before attacking, but unexpectedly there was no one there. Everyone stopped their actions, feeling a little awkward for a moment.
Wang Fuyun frowned, the organization that almost destroyed the Northwest region must be very powerful, it is impossible that their lair has not been found by them yet, there must be something fishy going on.
"Be careful, they might be lying in wait."
Diwu Boshan stood up, and several insects of various shapes slowly crawled out of his body, flapping their transparent wings. After no one around him responded, he frowned and put the insects on the ground.
The insects wriggled, and their lower bodies continuously laid eggs. As soon as the eggs appeared, they broke out of their cocoons and grew into insects all over the ground. Under his command, they took the lead in entering the building to explore the way.
Seeing the dense swarm of insects, Qiao Qiao shuddered subconsciously and silently took a few steps away from him.
Wang Fuyun: "Guan Rui, you stay outside to provide support and keep in touch at all times. If anything happens to us, request support immediately."
"yes!"
Diwu Boshan, Shangguan Jiang, and Tang Mingli walked in the front; Qiao Qiao, Wang Fuyun, and Xiao Yan walked behind, and the six of them focused their attention on entering the building.
The building covers a large area but has only four floors. The interior is decorated entirely with white tiles. Being in this white world not only does not make you feel comfortable, but instead adds a touch of weirdness.
The first floor was like a maze, and people kept turning left and right in the corridor but could not see the end.
Xiao Yan was displeased: "Hey, how did you lead the way?"
Noticing the gazes of others, Diwu Boshan frowned, "My bugs are exploring the way, but for some reason none of them can send back any information."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's like being near a signal blocker. Information can't be transmitted or received." The plan to use insects to explore the way failed, so Diwu Boshan didn't want to waste his energy any more and recalled the insects that he could still control back into his body.
Qiao Qiao closed her eyes and concentrated, mobilizing the cells and pores all over her body to sense her surroundings. A light breeze blew through the corridor, bringing information from afar.
She opened her eyes instantly, "Go left."
Tang Mingli glanced at her, without asking how she knew, and nodded to lead the way.
"right."
"right."
"left."
"right."
"Left...wait!"
Qiao Qiao's hair stood on end. Sensing the crisis, he immediately stopped the team.
Shangguan Jiang looked confused: "What's wrong? Did you take the wrong road?"
"alert!"
None of them were new recruits who knew nothing, so they quickly lined up to be on guard. The six of them stood in groups of three, back to back, nervously looking at the two forks in the road ahead.
"roar!"
A low roar of wild beasts was heard in the distance, and then endless mutated animals poured out from the corridors on both sides, blocking the corridors.
Xiao Yan frowned, "Why are there so many mutant animals!"
Tang Mingli commanded: "The terrain here is narrow, which is not conducive to our movement. Let's break out and find a wide area first."
Qiao Qiao felt it, "Go to the left, there is only one turn to reach the open environment."
"Walk!"
Qiao Qiao, Tang Mingli and Shangguan Jiang led the way, while Xiao Yan, Diwu Boshan and Wang Fuyun covered the rest.
Tang Mingli threw out a bunch of meat particles, activating his skill money ability. The mutant animals stopped when they smelled the meat particles, and scrambled for them like crazy; Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to use the energy cannon, killing several mutant animals with a bang; Shangguan Jiang rushed forward with the Tang sword, and the sword fell with his hand.
With the concerted efforts of the three, they tore open a passage and successfully broke into the left passage.
Xiao Yan's angry roar came from behind. Ever since entering the building, Diwu Boshan's poisonous insects have been out of control. For him, it was like cutting off an arm. In addition, Wang Fuyun's SR-level cards were not offensive, so most of the pressure of facing the mutated animals was on him. At this time, he had to use the Medusa's Gaze Card.
The pupils suddenly changed from brown to gray-black, and the mutant animals in the front row of vision gradually turned into stone at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mutant animals behind continued to move forward and smash the stones, and they themselves soon turned into stones. After three times, the corridor was filled with large pieces of rubble, blocking the road and delaying the time for several people to leave.
"Go! Don't look back!"
After a hard fight, they finally turned the corner and the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
In front of them was a very empty space. On the second floor, the muzzles of dozens of machine guns were pointed at them. Behind them stood a group of people in white robes, extremely excited, shouting, "For God, destroy all invaders."
“Da da da!”
"careful!"
As soon as they spoke, Wang Fuyun rushed to the front and a blue card instantly appeared in his hand.
[R-level card gun protection shield: can only resist ordinary gun ammunition, each use is limited to three hours, 10/10]
The blue barrier spread out, covering the front of the few people before the bullets hit them. The machine gun bullets kept hitting it, and the barrier almost collapsed several times but then fell down again.
"Fortunately, it is ordinary ammunition. If it was a weapon produced by the system, I'm afraid we would have already..." Wang Fuyun was breathing heavily. He was the oldest among the group and his strength was almost exhausted.
Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to let Qiao Man out. With the cover of smoke, it sneaked along the wall to the second floor, instantly growing bigger. A vine was whipped over and the man in white robe had no power to resist at all.
"ah!"
Screams rang out frequently, and the sound of machine guns finally stopped. Before the few people could see the situation clearly, the roller shutter door opposite the hall rose, and hundreds of mutant animals rushed out. At this time, the mutant animals in the corridor also broke through the rubble and rushed out. The six people were attacked from both sides and fell into a stalemate. They were soon injured.
"Destroy the invaders!"
"God's authority cannot be defiled!"
Several more doors opened, and they were filled with people wearing white robes. They were holding various R-level weapons and rushed forward fearlessly.
Qiao Qiao saw that the group led by these animals were several mature mutants, all with collars around their necks, exactly the same as the ones that entered Research Institute No. 1.
She adjusted the camera she had been wearing since entering the building and glanced at the people around her. There was no time to waste. The enemy was in this building and she had to act as soon as possible.
Due to the fierce attacks of the mutant animals and the white robes, several people were gradually separated in the battle. Qiao Qiao left Qiao Man here to protect everyone, and took the opportunity to leave the main force.
In the corner, a shadow rose from under his feet and wrapped around him, then moved along the wall to the third floor.
Perhaps because everyone was fighting on the second floor, there were not many people on the third floor.
Qiao Qiao pushed open the doors one after another and found that every laboratory here imprisoned a variety of mutant animals. They were either dissected, force-fed to evolve, or spliced together for experiments, and the blood was all over the laboratories.
The camera in front of her recorded all illegal crimes, and the shadows of her feet in the dark shattered the ubiquitous surveillance along the way.
Finally, she met the expected person in the last laboratory on the third floor.
"Long time no see, Major General Qiao."
