As Gu Mingyue used the golden silk thread to lead the level three winged monster upwards, the other monsters upstairs discovered the ability and opened their fangs and howled to notify the newly evolved level four monsters upstairs.
The level four monster didn't take the fact that the 'food' had wandered into its lair to heart; it just thought the 'food' downstairs was looking for death.
After the apocalypse, they ate too many humans and came to believe that humans were incompetent and weak.
The level four monsters didn't care, but the level three monsters in the corridor had all witnessed their own kind betray them, leading the way for their 'food' like dogs.
The elevators in the experimental center have been abandoned for a long time, and some of the elevator doors are blocked by human remains and debris, leaving them unable to close.
The monster controlled by Gu Mingyue insisted on leading the two of them inside.
Gu Mingyue peered inside. It was pitch black. If an ordinary person looked up, they would only see a huge hole torn open by a strange force at the top of the elevator.
Gu Mingyue's body was practically at the ceiling of a level four ability user, and the scenery inside clearly entered her field of vision at a glance.
The experimental building of this virus research center has a total of sixteen floors. Gu Mingyue looked up through the elevator shaft and could see three Level 3 winged monsters climbing on it.
Hearing the sound below, the monsters all opened their dark eyes and looked down to meet Gu Mingyue's gaze. Then, they suddenly released their claws that were climbing upwards.
Although there was a space shield of stars blocking the way, Gu Mingyue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she quickly pulled her head back from inside.
Xinghe noticed that several Level 3 Winged Membrane Monsters had suddenly appeared on his spatial shield. He swept his hand slightly upwards, and the Level 3 Winged Membrane Monsters that had just startled Gu Mingyue were all cut into several pieces of flesh by his spatial blade.
The transparent crystal nuclei separated from the brain matter. The Milky Way distorted the space above its head, forming a bowl-shaped space that caught the crystal nuclei. Then, with gloved hands, it rinsed the crystal nuclei and put them into a jar.
Gu Mingyue's eyes held a hint of anger as she stared directly at the level-three winged monster that was leading the way, meeting its black pupils in her gaze.
The moment their eyes met, the Level 3 Winged Membrane Monster felt a sharp pain in its brain, as if something like earthworms was churning inside its brain, a sensation that made it writhe uncontrollably.
Gu Mingyue lectured it for a while, but the Level 3 Winged Membrane Monster still resolutely walked towards the elevator shaft.
After Gu Mingyue withdrew from the elevator shaft, she discovered that many Level 3 Winged Membrane Monsters had indeed climbed up from there. Only then did Gu Mingyue realize that she might have misunderstood them.
However, the elevator shaft was filled with broken steel plates and dust, as well as broken wires and dried human flesh.
It's clear that many tragic things must have happened here when the apocalypse first broke out.
After pointing out the way, the monster hooked its two claws upwards, grabbing the torn top of the elevator and climbing up.
Seeing this, Gu Mingyue wanted to follow, but when she looked down, she saw that she was wearing a thick protective suit, which made it difficult for her to move.
Seeing this, Xinghe smiled gently and said, "Mingyue, I am not human. The virus here poses no threat to me. I will take you up."
After saying that, he connected the two of them to an invisible spatial rope and climbed up behind the three-level wing membrane.
Gu Mingyue was pulled upwards by the spatial ropes he was connected to, and there was an invisible spatial shield beside her that perfectly separated her from the exposed steel plates.
The two climbed with the monsters, not knowing which floor they were on. Following the monsters along the ventilation ducts, they soon found a windowless, secret room.
It's called a secret room because it's pitch black with no light, which gives these monsters a great sense of security.
The door to this secret room is sealed from the outside. When there is no electricity, it is as if it is welded shut. Even monsters cannot open it and can only sneak in by climbing up the ventilation duct via the elevator.
Although it was pitch black here, both Gu Mingyue and Xinghe had extraordinary physical abilities. Xinghe was able to adjust her vision to adapt to changes in the environment.
To Gu Mingyue's naked eye, the area was still slightly dark, so she completely gave up on using her real eyes and closed them, instead releasing her mental energy directly.
She could see things that most people couldn't even see with the naked eye under the light.
She could see the unknown reagents locked in the metal cabinet, and she could also see the broken glass test tubes on the ground.
Seeing all this, Gu Mingyue couldn't help but swallow silently. Only when she looked at Xinghe standing beside her, who was intently scanning the area, did the lingering fear in her heart subside.
"Roar roar roar!"
Having discovered their 'food' and found their hidden lair, the level four humanoid monster could no longer contain itself and opened its fang-filled maw, howling at the two of them.
With the help of her mental power, Gu Mingyue could clearly see the monster.
The level four monster's blue face was exposed, while the rest of its body was covered with dark brown spikes. Even after mutating like this, it still had human limbs, only slightly shorter, with the tallest being only 1.5 meters.
Before the end times, people affectionately called them spike monsters, while others cursed them as dwarf spike monsters.
With her eyes closed, Gu Mingyue waved to the Level 4 spiked monsters in the darkness: "Hello, dwarf spiked monsters. It's my first time visiting, so I didn't bring any gifts. Here are a few golden scissors for you to shave."
As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of golden scissors appeared in her hands, flew to the side of the spiked monsters, and began to trim them with a snip-snip.
These level four spiked monsters all molted from level three humanoid monsters, and their newly grown spikes are not yet hard enough.
Soon, several patches of its body were trimmed bald, revealing the soft black downy hair underneath.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The spiked monsters were furious when they saw the bald patches on their bodies.
The spiked hand grabbed the golden scissors that were wreaking havoc on them and slammed them to the ground. Then, its black pupils flashed with intense anger as it glared at the woman who was laughing heartily.
The spiked monsters stomped their feet on the ground, and their spikes contracted, covering their bodies tightly.
All the level four spiked monsters shrank back like spiked balls, then quickly bounced up and pounced on Gu Mingyue.
In its previous life, this spiky monster was very light and had a pair of almost degenerated wings hidden on its back. It could walk on the soft snow with its degenerated wings and dense, long spikes.
Moreover, these monsters love to gather together, turn themselves into spiked balls, and then all of them are launched from the ground into the sky and crash into human settlements.
Once they've passed the beginner stage, their spike defense is actually quite high.
Beneath the spikes lie downy hairs and thick, bluish skin like a hippopotamus, making it difficult for bullets to penetrate their dense, spiky skin. When encountered, many people are helpless against them.
