Hiss——
The sound of protective clothing being torn was particularly harsh in the silent warehouse.
Mou Xuan's heart almost jumped out, not because of fear, but because of heartache.
Wow, this is the latest model of protective clothing, and I haven’t worn it for long!
Chen Yao trembled as she tore off the burnt protective suit bit by bit.
Her movements were very slow, as if she had used up all her strength, but her eyes were extremely determined.
Finally, the protective suit was completely torn open, revealing Chen Yao's right shoulder.
The skin there was no longer its original whiteness, but instead had a strange, glowing pattern on it, like some kind of mysterious totem, or like blood vessels, winding under the skin.
“Don’t… don’t be afraid…” Chen Yao’s voice was as weak as a wounded kitten, but her tone was inexplicably comforting, “The energy… is repairing me…”
repair?
Mou Xuan frowned.
What kind of repair is this?
This is clearly a mutation!
There was no time for him to think, Mou Xuan directly activated his time ability and slowed down the flow of time to the extreme. Within 0.1 seconds, he wanted to see clearly what was happening to Chen Yao.
In his vision, everything became extremely clear.
Those glowing lines were actually made up of countless tiny crystal core fragments. They seemed to have life, madly drilling into Chen Yao's flesh and blood, gnawing at her cells.
What’s even more terrifying is that these crystal core fragments have penetrated into Chen Yao’s bone marrow!
Oh shit! How can this be tolerated? This is simply a live broadcast of Resident Evil!
At this moment, environmental expert Hao also rushed over, holding various instruments in his hands, and scanned Chen Yao fiercely.
"Ahem... Mr. Mou... Mr. Mou..." Expert Hao coughed until his face turned pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. "The situation... is not good! The energy of the crystal core... is rewriting her DNA! At this rate... in 24 hours at most... she... she will be completely crystallized!"
Crystallization? !
Mou Xuan felt his head buzzing. It seemed like he was going to turn into a sculpture!
"Hand over the remaining crystal cores!!"
A roar, like thunder from a clear sky, exploded in the warehouse area.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of intensive gunfire. Bullets poured down like raindrops, hitting the container with muffled "bang bang bang" sounds.
It’s Ren! This bastard finally came!
Mou Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he protected Chen Yao behind him, while activating his defensive ability. An invisible barrier formed to protect them firmly.
"Yaoyao, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Mou Xuan's voice was low and firm, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, bringing a sense of security to Chen Yao.
“Well…” Chen Yao nodded weakly, but her eyes were unusually clear, “Mou Xuan… I… I feel… I can still help you…”
Mou Xuan didn't say anything, but just held Chen Yao's hand tightly.
He knew that now was not the time to be pretentious and that he had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
He looked at his left hand, the arm that had crystallized due to absorbing the energy of the crystal core, and suddenly had a bold idea.
"Yaoyao, believe me!" Mou Xuan took a deep breath and pressed his crystallized arm on Shen Yao's chest, so that the two wounds fit tightly together.
The next second, something strange happened.
Black blood began to ooze out of both wounds. The blood seemed to have life and slowly merged together to form a strange black vortex.
Mou Xuan could feel that the crystal core energy in his body was madly pouring into Chen Yao's body.
"Mou Xuan..." Chen Yao suddenly grabbed Mou Xuan's wrist, her eyes full of determination, "Use... use my blood... to restart the defense system..."
Restart the defense system?
Mou Xuan was stunned, but before he could react, Chen Yao had already started to act.
She struggled to her feet and staggered towards the control console, her fingers moving rapidly on the keyboard, entering a series of complex codes.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as well as a faint smell of crystal core energy.
The entire warehouse was shrouded in a strange and tense atmosphere.
What is she going to do?
Engineer Xiao's face was paler than printer paper, with cold sweat running down his temples, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
His lips trembled, his fingers danced on the keyboard, and he kept muttering: "God bless, God bless, please don't let any bugs appear..."
He activated the base’s last defense system - "Yaoguang".
The original design concept of this system was to use Chen Yao's crystal core energy to symbiotically interact with the base defense system to form a self-repairing energy matrix.
But now, Chen Yao's condition is unclear, and whether this system can be started normally is completely unknown.
“Beep——”
A crisp prompt sound made Engineer Xiao raise his head suddenly.
On the console, a huge 3D model slowly emerged; it was the outer wall of the base.
The originally bare metal wall now appeared with dense glowing lines, just like the lines on Chen Yao's shoulders, strange and beautiful.
"It worked?!" Engineer Xiao widened his eyes, unable to believe his eyes.
This thing actually started!
At the same time, Mou Xuan still maintained the state of slowing down time. He clearly saw that the entire base was reflected in Chen Yao's pupils. Those glowing patterns were as bright as stars in her eyes.
