When Mou Xuan spat the filter fragments on the cuffs of his combat uniform, Researcher Jiang's thermos cup was hitting the edge of the culture dish.
The mutant slime collected by expert Xing splashed onto the electronic sandbox and froze into spider-web-like blue-purple ice crystals.
"The northwest sentry tower lost contact three minutes ago." Chen Yao's hyphae cut off half of the tempered glass and threw the real-time monitoring screen into the air. "What the infrared ray captured... looks like a centipede with a human face."
The three hundred meter high defense wall in the projection was bleeding.
To be precise, the stunted vines embedded in the concrete suddenly burst into a foul-smelling sap.
Mou Xuan licked the wound on his back molars, and in the 38 seconds when time was suspended, he could clearly see the ring-shaped mouthparts disguised as vines - each fold was a compound eye wrapped in ice crystals.
"They use excrement as a camouflage coating." Researcher Jiang suddenly ripped open his white coat, revealing a chest wrapped in bandages.
Some kind of biological tissue was wriggling under the bandage: "When I dissected the sample yesterday... this mucus will read the memory of the person who comes into contact with it..."
Before he finished his words, the entire explosion-proof glass wall suddenly bulged inward.
The ambulance that Captain Han's medical team had just pushed over had its axle wrapped around by some transparent tentacle, and a large number of steaming insect eggs poured out of the cracks in the chassis.
Mou Xuan activated his time ability for the third time.
This time he broke off Expert Xing's electromagnetic net controller and smeared the splashing nano-repairing agent on Shen Yao's mycelium crown.
In the frozen time and space, he saw that the ends of the tentacles disguised as medical equipment had half of Engineer Yin's burnt face.
"All liquid nitrogen equipment should switch to fan-shaped spray mode!" Mou Xuan tore off the blood ice fragments on the collar of his combat uniform and threw them on the electronic sand table. "Master Duan, adjust the temperature of the welding gun to minus 120 degrees - aim at the soles of your feet!"
Chen Yao suddenly laughed out loud.
Her blood-stained mycelium drilled into the fortification's power supply system, and electromagnetic sparks illuminated the newly grown scales on her neck: "Dear, the severed limb on your lower back is eavesdropping." As she spoke, she wrapped her mycelium around Mou Xuan's belt and threw half of the mechanical cockroach, which was secreting pheromones, onto Researcher Jiang's face.
The roar outside the defense wall suddenly became regular.
Mou Xuan counted his heartbeats and activated the fourth time pause, and found that the impact sounds were exactly the same as the resonance frequency of Chen Yao's mycelium.
He decisively bit the emergency power supply hidden in his wisdom teeth and directed the high voltage current into Chen Yao's spine.
"Sorry." He tore off three strands of electrified hyphae that were wrapped around his wrists. "If you survive this night, I'll let you get hurt as much as you want."
When three hundred liquid nitrogen welding guns sprayed out icy mist at the same time, the ground of the entire defense zone suddenly collapsed.
The roar of the defensive soldiers mixed with the sound of ice breaking came, but Mou Xuan was staring at his own shadow - the black shadow that should have been elongated by the emergency light was now swallowing the stethoscope dropped by Captain Han's medical team.
"Researcher Jiang!" Mou Xuan suddenly stuffed the electromagnetic net fragment into the other person's mouth, "The second button of your white coat is breathing."
The mutant creatures' general attack arrived seven minutes earlier than expected.
When the first wave of ice-armored cockroaches hit the electromagnetic net, Mou Xuan was holding Chen Yao's neck and immersing her in Expert Xing's mucus culture dish.
Pale golden mycelium proliferated wildly in the foul-smelling liquid, entwining the belts around everyone's waist.
"Three, two..." Mou Xuan counted down and crushed the last piece of the filter. The jagged fragments cut his entire left arm.
As the blood drop was suspended in the air, he saw countless human-shaped shadows under the permafrost three hundred meters away, reconstructing Engineer Yin's burned facial nerves.
"...one!"
All defense equipment suddenly changed direction at the same time.
Master Duan's liquid nitrogen welding gun blasted open the underground pipes, and Chen Yao's charged hyphae drilled into the heating system.
When Researcher Jiang spit out the button-shaped biological bomb, Mou Xuan finally dug out the most crucial information from the cracks in time - the rhythm of those mutant creatures hitting the defense wall was exactly the knocking sound when Engineer Yin was debugging the heating equipment three days ago.
"Change the resonant frequency of the protective cover!" Mou Xuan kicked away the electronic sand table that was changing abnormally, letting the blue-purple ice crystal cut his Adam's apple. "Use the obstetric fetal heart rate monitor treasured by Medical Captain Han - adjust it to the 120bpm baby crying mode!"
There was a crisp sound of cracking ice shell outside the defense wall.
Mou Xuan wiped the blood plasma that covered his eyes, and heard the Morse code produced by the friction of Chen Yao's mycelium amid the severe tinnitus.
She was using the melted electromagnetic mesh fragments from the Mycelium Crown to engrave the heating parameters that Engineer Yin had finally adjusted on the inside of the defense wall.
When the sound waves of the fetal heart monitor resonated with the underground heating pipes, Mou Xuan suddenly tasted a certain rusty smell - the mutated mucus that escaped from Expert Xing's culture dish was now gnawing on the ganglia of the mutated creatures that were trying to drill out of the ground.
The icy mist sprayed out simultaneously by three hundred liquid nitrogen welding guns coated the defense wall with a layer of blue-white frost, and Chen Yao's hyphae vibrated at a high frequency along the heating pipes.
As the piercing cry of the fetal heart monitor penetrated the concrete, the entire frozen earth suddenly made a clicking sound like bones coming into dislocation.
"What the hell..." The ice crystals on the tip of Master Duan's welding torch suddenly fell off. He saw the remains of the mutant creatures that were shattered by the sound waves were being pieced together again in the slime leaking from Expert Xing's culture dish. "How come they are alive again?"
Mou Xuan kicked away the twitching fragments of the electromagnetic net, and his bloody combat boots crushed two mechanical compound eyes that were trying to roll towards the power supply system.
He grabbed the newly grown scales on the back of Chen Yao's neck and dragged her to the boiling mucus petri dish: "Use mycelium to heat the heating system - it must be accurate to the 65.3 degrees Celsius that Engineer Yin set when debugging!"
Chen Yao's blood-stained eyelashes suddenly formed ice beads, and she turned around and poked the charged hyphae into the petri dish.
