Chapter 120.
After hurriedly bidding farewell to Dean Lin, Tang Yu followed the research team to the third underground floor to pick up Lin Xiaoguo.
As a top-secret experimental subject, Lin Xiaoguo's security level was higher than that of Dean Lin after the pollution outbreak.
The moment the elevator stopped on the third floor below ground, the level 2 authority chip implanted in the back of Tang Yu's neck suddenly became hot.
Tiny blood beads oozed out of the carbon-tungsten alloy walls on both sides of the corridor. After all members of the research team passed the iris verification, the liquid immediately condensed into scarlet ice crystals with barbs - this was the living protective layer confirming that the DNA chain had not mutated.
"The seventh door requires your brain wave map." The researcher in charge of opening the door tapped his helix with his fingers. The radiation meter on his protective suit was jumping wildly due to the proximity to the core area.
Tang Yu stared at the wriggling synapse relief on the door. The moment her consciousness connected to the verification system, she felt herself in a trance for a moment, and many lost memories from her childhood briefly reappeared.
This is the neural lock pulling memories to build a dynamic key.
After passing all the tests, Tang Yu finally came to the last door, and the person living inside was Lin Xiaoguo.
She clearly saw the researcher input the security code on the door. The moment the door was confirmed to be opened, all the images paused, then disappeared and reconstructed.
That feeling reminded Tang Yu of the confusion he felt when he entered the dungeon from the middle area.
She had been in this copy for so long that she almost forgot that it was all fake.
The scene before him seemed like countless fragments pieced together again. When his vision became clear again, what Tang Yu saw was no longer the corridor leading to Lin Xiaoguo's room.
She was in an absolutely enclosed room with dim light all around. She could only barely see that it was a bedroom.
Tang Yu tentatively called out the names of other researchers, but received no response.
She tried to figure out the layout of the room, but the furnishings and arrangements in the room made her feel strangely familiar.
Tang Yu subconsciously touched her chest, where there was still a nameplate indicating her identity. She took out a flashlight and shone it on the nameplate, and the three words "Lin Xiaoguo" were clearly written on it!
When he saw this nameplate, Tang Yu suddenly understood where he was.
She turned the nameplate over and found two small crooked words on the back.
Tang, Yu.
The first time Lin Xiaoguo changed her name to Tang Tang was because she liked to eat candy.
The second time I changed my name to Tang Yu, it was because I hoped that everyone who was sick would get better.
So, now Tang Yu is in Lin Xiaoguo's room, she has become Lin Xiaoguo, and Lin Xiaoguo has become her.
Tang Yu stood in the room and observed for a while, confirming that he was still in the copy.
To be more precise, perhaps it is in the real world, in that completely weird research institute.
A barely audible click sounded in the silent room, exactly the same as the sound made when the researcher opened the password door.
Tang Yu immediately turned to the door and found that the door had quietly opened a crack.
A ray of light from outside came in, but it was also unusually quiet.
Tang Yu was not sure what was going on outside the door, so she thought about it and decided to go out and take a look.
While pushing open the door, Tang Yu also held the boning knife in his hand.
The scene outside the door slowly unfolded before my eyes. The long corridor was not as clean as I had imagined. The walls were stained with some kind of filth from unknown sources, the air was filled with a strange fishy smell, and the lights above my head flickered from time to time.
It looks like this place has been abandoned for a long time.
Tang Yu accidentally stepped on a broken glass test tube, and the sound of the shattering echoed in the empty corridor and could be heard from far away.
She frowned and lowered her head, only then did she see scattered experimental equipment all over her feet, and black and red liquid splashed everywhere.
The sound of the glass breaking just now was like turning on some kind of switch, and a roar of explosion suddenly came.
Tang Yu was on full alert. She clenched the boning knife and took out the miniature maze model, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.
A heavy thumping sound came from the end of the corridor, getting closer and closer.
Something is approaching quickly!
In the flickering light, Tang Yu saw a deformed figure appear.
From the deformed limbs of the thing, she vaguely judged that it was probably a person.
It’s just that the human body has undergone a lot of degeneration, and even some marine organisms’ tissues can be seen on the exposed skin.
When Tang Yu saw the monster, it also discovered Tang Yu. After letting out a roar from its swollen throat, it rushed over at a rapid speed.
Tang Yu was able to remain calm in the face of such a deformed and disgusting creature. She stood there motionless, holding the boning knife.
When the mutant monster rushed to him, Tang Yu directly threw out a miniature maze model.
The small maze model looked like a pure white toy, projecting a beam of light in the air that instantly enveloped the monster.
Then, the monster disappeared.
The miniature maze model that swallowed the monster fell to the ground with a plop, and Tang Yu walked over to pick it up.
The moment she bent down, something unexpected happened!
Tick!
A drop of sticky liquid fell in front of Tang Yu's eyes, only two meters away from her steps. If the corridor had not been too quiet, she would not have noticed it at all.
Tick! Tick!
Then there was more viscous liquid, and a long transparent filament was pulled out in the air.
Even though Tang Yu was slow-witted, he realized that something was wrong.
There's a second monster!
She didn't have time to pick up the miniature maze model, so she kicked the opposite side hard with her toes and used the friction to quickly retreat, while subconsciously raising the boning knife in her hand.
clang!
There was a sound of metal clashing, and the boning knife in Tang Yu's hand was almost knocked away.
She was attacked!
Tang Yu gritted her teeth and retreated several meters before she could steady herself. She rubbed her numb wrist and looked up at the guy who attacked her.
On the ceiling above, two humanoid creatures were stuck together, their tails were entangled by some strange tentacles, coiled like snakes in the hole in the ceiling, and the mucus attached to their skin glowed a faint purple light under the incandescent light.
Tang Yu frowned. While guarding against the monster, she was thinking quickly.
She had been following the research team to pick up Lin Xiaoguo, but when she came out of Lin Xiaoguo's room, the corridor outside had changed drastically.
The current time point is obviously not when the mutation just happened, but after the weirdness has fully arrived.
To be more precise, perhaps what Tang Yu experienced when she first entered the copy was just the residual memory echo of this research institute. What she saw now was the real appearance of the research institute.
However, even if he understood the current situation, it would be of no use, because the guy on the ceiling looked difficult to deal with.
What had just collided with Tang Yu's boning knife was the monster's tongue!
Looking at its appearance, it seems that it has not been hurt at all. Its defense value is incredibly high!
The one who attacked Tang Yu was one of the humanoid monsters that were stuck together. That monster failed to hit her and was now looking at her with its head tilted. Then, the other half of the humanoid monster connected to it also launched an attack.
The tongue attacked extremely quickly and Tang Yu barely dodged it. Her back hit the alloy wall stained with black and red stains.
The two humanoid monsters on the ceiling tilted their heads and looked at Tang Yu together. The scene was very weird.
Suddenly, the monster's abdomen split open, and a dozen yellow-green vesicles fell to the ground, making a sticky sound.
Tang Yu was concentrating and alert to the changes in front of her. She was worried that something would come out of those strange-shaped bubbles.
However, it did not happen. The moment the vesicles touched the ground, they immediately shrank and cracked, and thick yellow-green mucus flowed out from them.
In an instant, a strong and unpleasant smell filled the entire corridor, and Tang Yu immediately pulled up the mask of his protective suit to block out the terrible smell.
But she soon discovered that it was not a poisonous gas, it was simply used to attract another mutant creature.
hiss--
The ventilation vent on the left suddenly exploded, and three rotten corpses wearing researcher uniforms gushed out along with mycelium.
Gill-like structures grow on their necks, which continuously spew out dark green spore clouds as they breathe.
Tang Yu's protective suit began to corrode the moment it came into contact with the spores, and the cloth on his arms melted into a bubbling, sticky liquid.
The severe pain caused Tang Yu's pupils to suddenly shrink into vertical lines, and she immediately cut off the sleeve.
On the exposed wrist were two small gears strung together with a hairband, which were slowly turning.
"Warning, level two pollution concentration." A vague murmur suddenly came from the end of the corridor.
Three staggering humanoid figures appeared at the end of the corridor, their protective suits pulled over their heads, and through the narrow goggles, one could only see a bright red patch inside.
Tang Yu's temples were throbbing and countless overlapping shadows suddenly appeared on her retina, making her look dazed.
She saw the cold shadowless lights in the laboratory, her skin torn apart by the cutting knife, and it seemed as if some kind of creature was crawling and growing under her skin...
When the first mutant attacked, she only had time to instinctively raise her knife to block it.
The boning knife cut the running corpse in half, as smoothly as if it was cutting tofu cubes.
Tang Yu was shocked to find that his five fingers were wrapped in gray-white energy flows. These dark matter spread along his arms to the boning knife, corroding the originally rusty blade into thorn-like bloody lines.
"This is..." Tang Yu's attention was briefly attracted by the dark energy flow.
That thing looks familiar!
At this time, the other two zombies also rushed over. Tang Yu subconsciously raised his knife and chopped them in half.
The mycelium wrapped around the corpse suddenly exploded as if it had lost its restraints, covering Tang Yu's head and face.
A large number of spores floated down and began to corrode Tang Yu's protective suit. Intensive and sharp pain spread throughout his body, making Tang Yu's consciousness a little blurred.
"Tang Tang...Tang Tang..."
In a trance, Tang Yu seemed to hear someone calling her, the voice was crisp and familiar.
Like a girl.
Like, Lin Xiaoguo!
Tang Yu looked up suddenly, his pupils suddenly constricting.
She saw that the two humanoid creatures entangled together on the ceiling, their heads now turned into the appearance of Lin Xiaoguo.
Two heads that looked like Lin Xiaoguo said in unison: "Tangtang, it's time to take medicine..."
Tang Yu shook his head, trying to get rid of this strange illusion.
She knew that she was sick again.
Lin Xiaoguo is Tang Yu herself. It is impossible for her to appear on the ceiling, and it is impossible for her to say such words.
That's what the researcher in charge of her care often said.
During his time at the research institute, Tang Yu needed to take a lot of medicine.
Some are for promoting growth, some are for stimulating abilities, some are for stabilizing the mind, and some are for controlling runaway energy - the uncontrollable, distorted force!
