Therefore, the underground buildings in the test area are the most likely place to find biochips. Why should the main building structure of the test area be built underground? There are several reasons.
Firstly, it is easier to manage. The entire underground area is sealed off, leaving only one entrance and exit, so even if something goes wrong with the experimental organisms, it is not easy for them to escape.
Secondly, if anything happens inside the laboratory area, such as toxin leakage or fire, sealing the entrance will facilitate control.
Finally, the underground space is relatively independent and not easily affected by external thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail. Therefore, a stable experimental environment is very important.
Du Yuqi and his group quickly arrived at the entrance of the laboratory area and found that the dark entrance had been destroyed and opened. After entering the hall, a group of bats suddenly rushed out in front of them. Duize naturally took out his flamethrower and fired a shot. Then he found that there were several black shadows swooping down from behind. However, Du Yuqi and his group were on full alert, and these black shadows were killed before they could get close to them. They were actually four or five giant black and gray rats.
These giant rats all had fangs sticking out of their lips, looking extremely ferocious. They were as big as wolfhounds, and even after their heads were chopped off, their mouths were still biting, making a strange "kakakaka" sound, while the tails of their headless corpses were still whipping fiercely, even the stone pillars next to them were hit and stone chips were flying. They looked extremely ferocious.
After they walked in, they found that it was a giant rat's nest, very dirty and smelly. They even found some traces of fighting on the walls, such as bullet shells and knife marks on the walls. After seeing this scene, everyone was delighted.
Because the hearing and smell of these mutant rats are extremely sensitive, they can penetrate any hole. They also need Terra Stone to strengthen themselves. Therefore, wherever they have lived, there is no Terra Stone left. If they continue to explore here, they may be injured by the mechanism or mutant monsters. Therefore, for the rest of the team looking for Terra Stone, this place is indeed worthless, and the possibility of finding a biochip inside is a little higher!
The next step is to find a passage to the underground area. After some exploration, it is found that the surface area of the laboratory is almost the same as ruins, but it is not worthless. For example, a secret compartment is found in a half-collapsed room. After opening it, a wizard's notebook is found. The things recorded in it are quite useful.
Soon, the entrance and exit were found, but it was estimated that some emergency measures were activated when it was abandoned, and it was blocked by huge rocks. It was almost impossible to dig it out. Fortunately, Holmes found a short-distance teleportation array nearby, which should be used for emergency entry and exit, but this teleportation array was already destroyed. It was not difficult to repair it, but the key was that if you wanted to restart it, you would need a lot of precious spell materials. If you calculate carefully, the value of these spell materials is almost equal to two or three Terra stones on the market.
More importantly, no matter how accomplished the person who repaired the teleportation array was, the cost of casting materials was inevitable, just like how no matter how good the craftsmanship of a jeweler was, he still had to consume gold and silver to create precious jewelry.
After discovering this, even Duize, who had always seemed worried, breathed a sigh of relief and there was hope in his eyes, because this meant that no one had ever been in there before, and the possibility of there being a biochip inside increased significantly again. If the chance of finding a biochip here was only 20% before, now it is at least 60%!
After the teleportation array was repaired, Holmes directly summoned a black knight to stand in the short-range teleportation array, and then let it go first. Soon, a series of information was fed back from Holmes:
"It's quite dry inside, without any standing water, so the things inside should be well preserved."
"The connection between the Black Knight and me has not been interrupted or weakened, which means the transmission distance will not exceed forty meters."
"The Black Knight has explored the surroundings and confirmed that there is no danger in the two or three rooms nearby. The dust on the ground is two inches thick."
"The teleportation array is currently in a stable condition, and there are no signs of any triggering mechanisms."
“…”
After hearing the news, Du Yuqi and his companions no longer hesitated and walked in one after another. After being teleported in, Holmes flicked his finger and small points of light like fireflies flew out and floated around everyone's bodies. This was a very basic spell of light, which did not have any lethality, but only served the effect of lighting.
Then he saw that the teleportation hall was quite spacious. Du Yuqi looked at it carefully. He didn't know why he felt a strong sense of incongruity at first sight. He frowned and walked forward, wiped off the two-finger-thick dust on the table in front of him, then closed his eyes and thought carefully. In his mind, he restored the furnishings, tables and chairs in the teleportation hall after removing the dust, and immediately found the source of the incongruity.
Yes, there is a neat mess here.
These two words put together seem quite contradictory, but in fact such examples often appear in life. For example, a row of neatly-lined soldiers standing there participating in a military parade, but behind them there is a sloppy, dirty, untidy beggar picking up trash. This is a kind of neat mess.
The tables and chairs in the teleportation hall were neatly arranged, but there were a lot of messy sundries and books on the ground. Looking at these things, Du Yuqi's face gradually became solemn. Under what circumstances would all this happen? Combined with the huge rock blocking the exit, the conclusion in his mind suddenly jumped out!
"Something serious must have happened here! That's right, and it was an extremely dangerous accident. So the group was working normally when they suddenly received an alarm, so they immediately dropped everything in their hands and ran away without even having time to pack up some valuables. They were even too panicked when passing through the teleportation array, so they dropped all the sundries and books they were carrying here."
After hearing Du Yuqi's analysis, the others felt a chill in their hearts, but they felt that what he said was really reasonable. However, Holmes quickly said:
"Whatever the accident was, after hundreds of years, it has probably been lost in time. And look here."
The place Holmes pointed at was a small black mass in the corner of the wall. Jet walked over and rubbed it with his fingers, then said:
"This should be the feces left by the mutant giant rat we killed before. I can't guarantee it, but I'm 60 to 70 percent sure."
Holmes said:
"That's right. These mutant giant rats can get into any hole and are good at digging holes. Since they have already arrived here and seem to be alive and well, the danger must have passed."
So they continued to move forward cautiously, and then began to search every room carefully. They found that Du Yuqi's previous speculation was indeed correct. From the various things placed on the table, it could be seen that the people inside should have been in a busy working state, but a sudden accident made them flee in panic.
After checking about five or six rooms, the people outside suddenly sounded the alarm! When they came out, they immediately found that in the corridor in the distance, there were floating yellow-green mists, shining with strange phosphorescent light, floating slowly and irregularly, which looked extremely creepy.
Faced with this strange phosphorescent fire, it was obvious that everyone's first reaction was to avoid it. Then Duize directly took out the silver bullets, loaded them into the barrel and fired at it continuously. The pure silver bullets drew shining rays of light in the air, and after hitting the yellow-green mist, they immediately burned fiercely, and soon only a little gray-white dust was left, which looked like ashes.
