Chapter 292: Action Begins
"Neither. It does look a bit like an alien species, but it's different."
Yu Qingchuan shook his head, his expression still serious.
"This drug can temporarily restore the corpse's ability to move, and then cause it to explode."
"Self-destruction?" Cheng Sinian widened his eyes slightly.
"That's right." Yu Qingchuan nodded. "This drug takes effect very quickly. It can take effect within a few minutes or even tens of seconds after entering the human body."
"It will animate the corpse again, and then when the corpse reaches a certain location, it will suddenly explode."
"And the power of the self-detonation is no different from that of a normal mutant."
"If that's the case, aren't they attacking indiscriminately?" Cheng Sinian frowned even more tightly.
"No." Yu Qingchuan shook his head again. "A corpse poisoned by this drug will also avoid people carrying special powder."
Qiao Yu touched his chin after hearing this and said, "Does this situation mean that this medicine is likely to be of the same origin as the ones we encountered before?"
"Yeah." Yu Qingchuan nodded. "Professor Kang, Professor Shen, and I all made the same guess."
"So the most urgent thing is to take samples."
"But I'm telling you this to remind you." Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips, "Remember the large morgue we saw on the fifth floor of the main building?"
"Are you saying that the bodies stored there have all been treated with this drug?"
"No. Like I said, this drug works very quickly."
"So I guess it's very likely that the entire floor is an 'ammunition depot'."
When Qiao Yu heard this, a look of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared on his face.
"I think I know why they placed the sample library underground."
Cheng Sinian raised an eyebrow. "You mean... they're trying to prevent the bodies from exploding?"
Qiao Yu nodded. "In a sense, it's to prevent the loss of samples in the process of eliminating the invaders."
"I guess the morgue on the fifth floor might be the last line of defense in the base research institute."
"If anything unexpected happens to the institute, they will immediately administer drugs to animate the corpses."
"Once they find the intruders, they will self-destruct."
"As for why the bodies are placed on the fifth floor, and why the sample library is underground..."
"I guess they must have calculated the floor height reasonably."
"This way, even if all the corpses on the fifth floor exploded, the underground laboratory would still be intact."
Cheng Sinian nodded, "That makes sense."
Qiao Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about this matter."
"It will be me and A-Zhan who will go to the main building. Don't worry, we will find a way to solve this problem."
Seeing that Qiao Yu was calm and didn't seem to be worried about this problem, Yu Qingchuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you have a solution."
"By the way, you just said that you were discussing the action plan. So what is our action mission?" Yu Qingchuan asked.
Qiao Yu smiled softly and said, "Not much. I just need you to attack the dependent settlement."
"A colony of dependents?" Yu Qingchuan was a little confused. "Why would we attack them for no reason?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu handed her hand-drawn floor plan of the dependent settlement to Yu Qingchuan, and then briefly described the scene they saw in the dependent settlement based on the map.
Yu Qingchuan's face grew darker as he listened to Qiao Yu's description.
As a researcher, it is outrageous that he treats human life so worthlessly!
After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he saw that Yu Qingchuan did not respond for a long time, and could not help but sigh.
"Qingchuan, I understand how you feel right now, but no matter what, the focus of our operation this time is sampling. Do you understand?"
Yu Qingchuan didn't answer at first, but after a long silence, he nodded and said, "I understand."
"Um."
Afterwards, Qiao Yu told Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue the detailed battle plan and time, and asked them to find Yan Zijin when the time came.
Then several people began to prepare for the formal operation in the evening.
--
When it was three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Zhan told Qiao Yu that Cheng Sinian, Luo Zhenzhen and Xiang Heng had already set off.
Cheng Sinian, Hua Yue and Yan Zijin's team followed closely behind and set off not long after.
Qiao Yu stood by the window, looking into the distance with a dim gaze.
The sky gradually darkened and fog began to slowly cover the area.
Qiao Yu didn't know how long he had been waiting. He only knew that when he was distracted, he suddenly heard a loud "bang".
Then a burst of fire shot up into the sky from the north of the base.
Qiao Yu felt a little relieved and looked at Jiang Zhan, "Let's start."
The situation was just as Qiao Yu had expected, and the base immediately dispatched most of its troops.
Qiao Yu stood by the window and watched the army lined up downstairs leave the research institute as quickly as possible and run towards the "reservoir" in the north.
Qiao Yu looked down at the time. It was almost five o'clock.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan waited for about half an hour before they heard another huge explosion.
Qiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "A Zhan, let's get ready to go."
Jiang Zhan nodded, "Okay."
Under the cover of the mental barrier, Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan arrived at the door of the control room smoothly.
"There are only three people inside." Jiang Zhan whispered, "I'll find a way to control them first."
Qiao Yu nodded.
There were only three people left in the control room, which showed that their plan had really worked.
After a few seconds, Jiang Zhan whispered again: "Okay."
"No need to go in. I've already destroyed their surveillance cameras. Let's go straight to the main building."
Qiao Yu nodded again.
Since they had explored the route before, the two seemed very familiar with it this time and went straight to the westernmost laboratory on the first floor.
One of the two underground laboratories that Jiang Zhan sensed is here.
Qiao Yu skillfully covered the lock on the door with ice inch by inch, then squeezed it hard, and the lock broke into pieces.
The two men pushed open the door and walked into the house, and sure enough, they found a secret door leading to the underground in a corner.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan opened the secret door. It was pitch black inside, but they could faintly hear the sounds of some animals or plants.
Qiao Yu took out two flashlights from the space, handed one to Jiang Zhan, and then walked down first.
The downward stairs are a bit long, indicating that the laboratory is built deep underground.
The further down you go, the clearer the sound becomes.
But Qiao Yu didn't expect that at the end of the stairs was a heavy stone door.
