Although this thing looks very easy to deal with, no one is careless. Even the gray-white powder is sprinkled with water from a distance before approaching to avoid stepping on it and causing dust to fly around and eventually be inhaled. According to Holmes, one of her old friends was careless when exploring the ruins and inhaled the cursed powder. In the end, he was in a very difficult situation, bedridden all day, and eventually became completely disabled.
This kind of search at this time is undoubtedly very energy-consuming. At the same time, because of the possible dangerous factors, Holmes and Changmei, who are not good at close combat, simply sat aside and summarized the large amount of documents and materials they found. Because it is quite dry in here and many documents and materials are kept in cabinets, most of them are quite intact, but covered with dust. Holmes and Changmei tried to find useful information from them.
It took about three or four hours for the team to finally finish clearing the first layer, and the strange yellow-green mist never appeared again. However, Du Yuqi and Jet were both exhausted, with back aches and waist pains. Their faces and bodies were covered with dust, and they felt very uncomfortable when they were washed by sweat. They were looking forward to finishing the job quickly so that they could have a good wash. When they rested, they took out their dry food and ate it in big mouthfuls.
At this moment, Meimei suddenly let out a cry of surprise, and then said loudly:
"I think I found what we want!"
After he finished speaking, he raised a document and waved it, but the direct consequence of this action was that dust flew everywhere and everyone choked and coughed. But soon, they saw that there was a sentence written on the document that they were holding:
"The request has been approved. The required box of Modison II polycrystalline biochips has been delivered. Please inspect them."
Below this document was a small piece of paper with the words "already in storage" written on it. At the same time, there were four seals on the small piece of paper. Most of them seemed blurry, and the only ones that could be identified were the "Internal Affairs Department", "Logistics Department" and "Security Department" seals.
There was a date attached to the note: August 13th.
Then he said excitedly:
"According to what we know, the incident happened on August 16th, which is only three days before the Modison II polycrystalline biochips are delivered. There are five chips in a box, and we can't use them in these three days!"
After hearing what Meimei said, Du Yuqi immediately said:
"So this thing is in the warehouse?"
Every time:
"That's right. The floor we are on now is the administrative office area and defense area. The second underground floor is the scientific research and preparation area. The warehouse is on the second floor. The third floor is the detention area and the test area. So we don't need to continue searching. Just keep going down."
After hearing what Meimei said, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, it was okay for them to fight and kill, but it was too difficult to search for things in this dusty area. Moreover, rummaging through boxes and cabinets was not an easy job. It was hot, tiring, dirty, and it made their whole body itchy.
At this time, Du Yuqi thought about it. Since the biochip had been found and he had more than enough drinking water, he simply took out a large bucket of purified water from the water dispenser, hung it high in the room next door, and then poked a few holes in the bottom. This was a simple shower. Everyone took a shower and felt refreshed immediately before continuing downstairs.
Now that the group had a goal, they quickly arrived at the entrance to the second floor and discovered that there were already heavy defenses surrounding the place. This showed that when something unexpected happened in the laboratory, the people inside had a certain amount of buffer time. At the entrance, they could see a lot of fortifications, remnants of weapons, and more than a dozen bodies.
So many years have passed, and these dozen corpses have turned into bones. Even the bones have decayed and crumbled into powder when picked up. However, the protective clothing they were wearing should be specially made with a very tough texture. Although it must have been hardened, it would not break at the slightest touch.
In this case, there are not many clues to be found from it. Only after careful investigation can we find that the arm bones of several corpses are broken and bent, which means that the enemies they faced have amazing strength, knocking them away and breaking their bones.
There were also several corpses whose heads were missing. According to Holmes's speculation, the monster they were facing might have a unique hobby of eating brains, which was not uncommon.
However, everyone knew that such a long time had passed, and even if there were any monsters inside, they would have been dead long ago after being trapped in this closed environment. So although they were alert, they did not take it too seriously. After entering the second floor, they immediately found that the environment had changed. There were a large number of experimental instruments, messy desks, and more than a dozen culture chambers standing against the wall... Although all of this was buried in thick dust, one could still vaguely see the busyness of the past.
However, in this environment, what looks very out of place are the corpses scattered everywhere. These corpses are wearing ragged clothes and armor, explosion-proof shields and so on. Some of them should be scientific researchers, and some are guards inside.
After some investigation and summary, they found that the causes of death of these people were different. Some were hacked to death by sharp weapons, with their upper and lower bodies separated; some were killed by bullets, with obvious bullet holes on their skulls; some were killed by huge force, with seven or eight ribs on their chest broken, and all were cracks and powder... It can be seen that the changes that occurred were definitely not small, and the number of enemies that appeared was also not small.
Du Yuqi then walked forward a few steps, his eyes resting on a huge culture chamber next to him. He could see a big hole on the glass cover of the chamber, and there were many broken cables lying there like dead snakes. It was obvious that the substances inside had burst out of the hole in an instant.
At this time, Duize had already sent out a signal, and then said with some excitement:
"Here! The warehouse is here!"
Hearing Duize's shout, everyone rushed over quickly and saw that this was a very large space, probably larger than two basketball courts. One part was filled with laboratory equipment, and the other part was cluttered with a lot of sundries. There were also two slide rails on the ground, which extended directly to the main door next to it. There were also a lot of obvious dragging marks on the ground, which showed that large quantities of goods were often transported in and out of here.
The door was tightly closed and looked extremely heavy. Its material could not be identified for a moment. It looked like stone or metal, and was extremely hard. Duize tried to fire two shots to attack, but only two white spots appeared on it.
On the left and right of the gate are two guard rooms, which can accommodate at least seven or eight people. From the regulations inside, it can be seen that if it were fully staffed, the defense would be very strict. Of course, it is now covered with dust, and only the armor and weapons neatly hung on the walls next to it show its former glory.
Every time he saw the peculiar layout of this warehouse, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he ran straight into the guard room on the left, and said excitedly:
"So it's this kind of double-pupil magic defense system! I've only seen it in magic books. It's said that this concept was proposed by Master Sharan and promoted by Count von Caliburn of the Empire. However, this defense system was only popular for about ten years before it was replaced by the newer Thunder Magic Defense System. The production cost of the Thunder Magic Defense System is only about one-third of the former, but the effect is similar."
"I have been looking forward to this kind of double-pupil magic defense system for a long time, but I didn't expect to see the real thing today!"
Du Yuqi was already quite speechless about Meimei's character, and sighed:
"Okay, okay! I think after we open this thing later, you can study it for as long as you want, but can you open the warehouse door first?"
Every time he was observing carefully, he said without turning his head:
"I'm looking for it, right?"
