"The third culture chamber in the southwest corner!" Chen Yao suddenly smashed the glass cover of the console with the butt of her gun, and her bloody fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard.
The surveillance footage showed a thin figure twitching - it was Xiao Wang, the clairvoyant who had disappeared three days ago. His pupils had turned light gold due to fungal infection.
Mou Xuan's mycelium suddenly split into hundreds of thin filaments, flowing upstream along the infusion tubes into the blood vessels of the psychics.
The moment the light blue inhibitor was devoured by the mycelium, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded throughout the secret room.
Those culture chambers that were supposed to be fixed suddenly began to rotate clockwise, and the Big Dipper marks on the surface of the chamber were absorbing the energy of the mycelium.
"Old Liao! Cut off the main power!" Mou Xuan's combat boots sparked on the ground, and the wound on the back of his neck began to bleed again due to excessive use of his supernatural powers.
Just as Assistant Liao rushed towards the switch, he was suddenly bounced away by some invisible force - there was a magnetic interference device buried under the floor of the control room, and the blood of those missing psychics was outlining the Big Dipper array on the circuit board.
Chen Yao suddenly inserted the shotgun barrel into the vent, and the shock wave from the explosive shell exploding in the pipe shattered all the lighting equipment.
In the sudden darkness, Mou Xuan's mycelium suddenly emitted bioluminescence. In the light green halo, they saw the glass cover of the culture chamber rising automatically.
"Don't touch the release button!" Mou Xuan's warning was half a second late, and Assistant Liao's finger had already pressed on the red button on the console.
All the culture chambers suddenly sprayed out purple mist, which condensed into spider-web-like mycelium the moment it came into contact with the air, and rushed towards everyone.
The tactical eyepiece suddenly showed that the oxygen content in the environment dropped sharply, and the incendiary bomb thrown by Chen Yao burned a human-shaped gap in the mycelium web.
Mou Xuan took the opportunity to drag his two teammates into the secret room, and the mycelium formed a sealed barrier behind them.
The isolated purple mycelium slammed into the barrier frantically, etching a depression in the shape of the Big Dipper on the surface.
When the last psychic was moved out of the secret room, Assistant Liao suddenly found that his decoder was flashing wildly.
The computer screen in the laboratory lit up automatically. On the incomplete genetic map, a gene chain marked "Beidou-7" was slowly rotating - the shape was exactly the same as the burn marks left by Mou Xuan's mycelium on the door.
Mou Xuan squatted down to check on the unconscious psychics and extracted rice-sized chips from behind their ears.
The chips spontaneously combusted the moment they came into contact with the air, and micro-carvings of the Big Dipper could vaguely be seen on the charred circuit boards.
"The emergency power supplies of all the freezers have been tampered with." Chen Yao used the barrel of a gun to pick up a half-length cable. The bite marks left on the insulation showed that it had been gnawed by rodents. "They are stalling for time."
A groan of twisted metal suddenly sounded in the corridor, and Mou Xuan's mycelium sensed that something heavy was falling three hundred meters away.
When everyone rushed to the rooftop of the observatory, they only saw a piece of windbreaker flash past the helicopter door.
In the blood mist stirred up by the propeller, the work permit that fell was printed with the logo of a multinational pharmaceutical company - that was the shape of the missing seventh star in the Big Dipper symbol.
Mou Xuan's mycelium suddenly pierced into the ground, pulling out half of the unactivated signal transmitter from the cement.
The flashing red indicator light showed that the device had been sending positioning signals continuously since they broke into the observatory.
