Chapter 209 Malice
In the secret passage, the two of them were careful not to speak and they stepped very lightly to avoid alerting anyone.
Slowing down his breathing and moving closer, Yan Mo put his ear to the door and listened quietly for a while. After making sure that there was no one else around, he nodded to Shu Xin behind him.
The two of them walked out of the secret passage one after the other.
There were no lights around, only the emergency light at the bottom corner of the wall emitting a dim glow.
In order to see the layout of the room clearly without causing any alarm, Shuxin took out a paper night light from the space.
The illuminated area is not large, illuminating an area of one meter around the lamp body.
"!!!"
Shu Xin took a step back suddenly and bumped into Yan Mo behind her. The lamp in her hand fell to the ground with a slight sound and went out.
Feeling the familiar embrace, Shuxin was so scared that she buried herself in the other person's arms.
Hold on tightly.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."
Sensing the uneasiness of the person in his arms, he held the person tightly in his arms according to the person's wishes.
The whole process happened very quickly, and Yan Mo, who walked in a step slower, did not see what Shuxin saw.
It took a while for Shuxin to feel the chill in his heart recede to a controllable level.
"What's wrong, Xinbao? Why are you so scared all of a sudden?"
The person in his arms' breathing had visibly calmed down, and the hand on her back patted her gently to soothe her while he asked her what happened.
Shu Xin waved her hands without saying anything, then took out another paper lantern and handed it to him.
"Tsk~"
Just a glance just now had already made her feel cold in her heart. Now that she saw the things around her clearly, Shu Xin gagged in disgust.
Although Yan Mo was knowledgeable and experienced, his brows were wrinkled so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.
Within the area illuminated by the light, there are cylindrical glass containers about two meters high standing upright, filled with unknown liquids, in which are soaked all kinds of strange-looking "monsters".
Yes, "monster".
Even if the end of the world comes, all species will mutate, but they will mutate to their original forms or to their ancestral forms. At least we can tell what species they were before.
Each of the "monsters" in the glass container has a different shape, and it can only be barely distinguished that they are made up of several different species.
For example, the "monster" floating in the glass container closest to them has the body of a spider, the head of a cat, the wings of a crow, and the tail of a fish.
This is just one of them.
Shuxin vomited so much that her eyes turned red, but she managed to suppress the nausea that was churning in her stomach.
It's not that she is weak and hypocritical. She has never reacted so strongly to zombies and other zombified creatures. I don't know if it's because the splicing of multiple species has caused them to mutate in an unknown direction. It looks really disgusting.
Yan Mo's ability to withstand it was much better. Apart from the initial visual shock, he did not feel much of a turmoil in his heart.
I haven't seen my wife in pain yet, and my heart is beating fast.
"Xinbao, drink some hot water first."
He took out the thermos cup that Xinbao often used from the backpack behind him, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her.
After taking a few sips of hot water, I immediately felt much better in my stomach, and my fingers, which were slightly numb from vomiting, gradually felt better.
"Is this the research that Du Xuefeng has been doing in secret? Isn't this disgusting?"
"Maybe there's more to it than that. The glass containers in this room are all filled with combinations of plants and animals. From our investigation, we know that all the missing psychics in the base were sent to the research institute..."
He didn't finish the rest of his words, but Shu Xin knew what he wanted to say.
Yes, hundreds of psychics are missing...
