Chapter 023 Biological Laboratory (XI)
RB-309 How dare he leave her alone?
Bai Tao went to the operating table to look for information as soon as possible.
The operability of electronic equipment is close to zero, just like the computers in Dream City.
It seemed that only one printer could be used, and after a series of operations, the printer successfully spit out a piece of paper.
A Guide to Life in a Biological Laboratory
1. This biological laboratory has seven floors above ground and one underground floor. There is no underground second floor. If you reach the underground second floor while taking the elevator, please press the button immediately to close the elevator and return to the lobby on the first floor of the biological laboratory to wait.
2. Please make sure there is a door where you sleep. Humans will not leave the bed after 12 o'clock. If you hear a knock on the door, please sit up from the bed, but do not respond to the knocker.
3. The sixth floor of the biological laboratory is equipped with a fitness area, a performance area, and a dance area. Humans can rest and entertain in these places. For your mental health, enter at least one of the above three places every day, but you cannot enter the same place for two consecutive days.
4. For your health, you need to have a physical examination twice a day. The testing points are on the fourth and seventh floors. The opening hours on the fourth floor are 6:00-8:00 in the morning and 16:00-18:00 in the afternoon. The testing room on the seventh floor is open all day.
5. The laboratory provides three meals for free. For your health, please do not refuse to eat. You need to eat twice a day, otherwise it will be bad for your body.
6. Please throw your personal garbage into the trash can.
7. Only numbered machines will speak. If you hear an unnumbered machine speaking, please use the intercom next to the elevator and tell it what happened.
8. Elevators run 24 hours a day, non-stop, and people can move between floors via elevators. When the elevator is operating normally, stairs do not exist. If you see stairs, please leave immediately.
9. The only toilet in the biological laboratory is located in the lobby on the first floor. The toilet is for one person only at a time. There is no second person in the toilet except the user. Please ignore it if you see it.
It was ruled paper, and the writing on it was still fresh.
There are nine rules in total. Bai Tao noticed that the word "volunteer" did not appear in the rules. All subjects were replaced by humans, and the human NPCs living on the seventh floor were also within the rules.
The content on this piece of paper is almost identical to the mice's schedule, with physical examinations twice a day, three meals a day, and a third area for fitness, performance, and dance, which correspond to exercise, performance, and party on the mice's schedule.
Complying with the rules means safety, but it also means that players will gradually be contaminated by the ghost story copy, and eventually assimilated, and can no longer leave the copy.
The behavioral logic is the same as that of the Skinner box experiment. Being disciplined by the reward and punishment mechanism gradually changes cognition.
At the beginning, RB-309 said, "Experience the life of a guinea pig for three consecutive days." The maximum time limit for this copy is three days.
After three days, the fake mouse will become a real mouse.
On the surface, the player's task is to serve as a volunteer in the laboratory and receive an injection of medicine, but in fact the real task is to retrieve or destroy the taken blood while being constantly contaminated by the copy.
On the back of the rule sheet is a floor plan of the Biology Laboratory Building.
The building has a total of 7 floors. The first floor is a reception hall and toilet, and the second floor is a volunteer injection pharmacy room.
The third floor is where players live, and the fourth floor is the biological laboratory, which is also where Bai Tao is currently.
The fifth floor is a mechanical laboratory, the sixth floor is an entertainment floor, and the upper floor is where the mice have fun.
The top floor of the seventh floor has a space that is the sum of the other six floors. There is a glass house for mice and a place on the ceiling for examining mice.
Finally, there is the basement level, the utility room.
The second underground floor does not appear on the map.
Where will the blood be stored?
Players can freely explore the first four and sixth floors, so it is unlikely that RB-309 will drop blood here.
Bai Tao set his targets on the fifth and seventh floors above ground, and the two floors underground.
The explosion happened above, Bai Tao tilted her head, she believed in the player's choice, so she prepared to go underground to take a look.
The elevator happened to stop at the fourth floor, which was a bit strange, but she still walked in. There was no button for the second floor below ground, so Bai Tao pressed the button for the first floor below ground.
"Ding, no permission."
First floor
"permission denied."
Press all the floor buttons
"No permission." ×5
Baitao: OK...
No doubt it must be RB-309 that did this.
The rules clearly stated that one could not use the stairs, and Bai Tao did not find any stairs on the fourth floor.
Do you think you can trap Bai Tao like this?
She returned to the room and opened the window.
There was a gray mist outside the building. Shi Mao had explained that the gray mist was the boundary of the dungeon. If the player entered the mist, he would die.
But the gray fog was still some distance away from the building. Bai Tao stretched her hand out of the window. Her palm was intact. Then her upper body...
With the spider's perfect grip and balance, Bai Tao walked along the outer wall of the biological laboratory as if it were flat ground and climbed to the first floor.
There are many floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor. Break the windows and Bai Tao jumps in.
The first floor is not the end. Bai Tao came to the elevator, which is the only passage to the underground. Doesn’t she have permission?
She didn't need to use the elevator, she just needed to use the elevator shaft.
At this time, the elevator was still on the 4th floor.
Thanks to the modification of RB-309, the sharp claws easily cut open the metal door, and Bai Tao entered the basement through the elevator shaft.
There was no light in the underground floor, it was completely dark, and the work machine came in handy again.
But Bai Tao held the work machine in her hand without turning on the screen. She smelled the smell of soil mixed with the stench of decay.
There was also a slight friction sound, as if something was moving.
It wasn't the sound of human footsteps, nor was it the sound of a machine.
The moment she turned into a spider, Bai Tao learned how to sneak without any instruction. Her two-meter-tall body walked in the darkness without making any noise.
The spider's special senses allow it to avoid obstacles and sense living creatures.
Bai Tao got closer to the source of the sound, and the movement became clearer and clearer, and a human figure appeared in her perception.
The silhouette turned around and saw Bai Tao.
"Bai Tao? You are Bai Tao? Are you still alive? Oh my God, there was such a big commotion yesterday, we all thought you were dead."
The tone was very exaggerated, and it didn't sound like something a middle-aged person like Qing would say.
"Do you remember who I am?" The figure slowly approached.
"Young man, are you the only one here? How are the others?"
"The others...only me, Luo Hong and Xiao Zhou are left. We agreed that she and Xiao Zhou would make trouble upstairs to divert the researchers' attention so that I could sneak down."
"Zhuang Xi and Meng Huo died when they were injected with the drug. Qian Qian violated the rules. Damn biological laboratory. They didn't let them go even after they died. If you see Qian Qian, Zhuang Xi and Meng Huo, be careful of them. They are fake people created by the laboratory. They have become the minions of the copy."
"I see. When did you come down? Did you find anything?" A fake person? What happened to the explosion? The gift obtained by clearing the ghost story copy cannot be used by anyone except the player who received it.
Once the player dies, the gift will disappear.
"Not long after I came down, there was an iron door. It was very mysterious and could not be opened. I suspected that the blood was hidden inside. Fortunately, you came here. Judging from your body shape, your strength has increased a lot after the mutation."
After saying this, he led the way in front.
"Hey, what are your abilities?" Bai Tao suddenly asked the young man.
The young man suddenly squatted down: "Look, I can transform into a slime, and I can crawl very fast."
He kept squatting and jogged.
Baitao: "..."
"I can be faster." Then he got down on all fours and crawled forward.
Bai Tao: "..." She sensed clearly that what changed was the young man's posture, from standing up to squatting and walking to crawling, rather than his appearance. Apart from the fact that he smelled a little, the young man was undoubtedly a human being.
She now understood why the young man ignored the changes in her.
The young man was still talking about the advantages of his current form: "It's much better than when I was a human, but I don't have enough strength. I need your help to open the door."
The young man brought the conversation back to the iron gate.
“It’s right here.”
The young man asked Bai Tao to help open the door.
Bai Tao also wanted to know what kind of medicine the young Hululi was selling.
Put your fingers on the handle and start exerting force.
The young man looked at Bai Tao's struggling back with a dim look in his eyes. He tiptoed two steps to the left and came to the door switch.
In this position, as long as he opens the door, Bai Tao will immediately fall in under the action of the force, and then he will close the door, trapping Bai Tao.
She is the last mutated player who can still move freely. As long as she is restrained, no one will be able to help the three humans pass the level.
There was no trace of malice on the young man's face. He believed from the bottom of his heart that monsters were his fellow human beings and that humans should be exterminated.
He has used the same method to lock up Xiao Zhou and Luo Hong, who had undergone mutations.
To be on the safe side, the young man planned to open the door while pushing Bai Tao from behind.
The door opened, and the young man returned to his original position, exerting all his strength and pushing hard—
At this moment, Bai Tao suddenly turned around, jumped up and stood on the wall.
The young man lost his balance and fell into the door. As soon as he stood up, he saw Bai Tao pressed the door closing button.
"No..." Nian Qing's eyes widened, "Bai Tao, what are you doing?"
She looked so innocent, as if Bai Tao was the one who did the bad thing.
"You don't think I have no sense of smell, do you?" The stench that came and went made it clear that the young man was behind it.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Bai Tao, when did you find out the switch of this door?" While pretending to be stupid, he tried to rush out.
Bai Tao kicked the door back and it closed completely.
The young man inside the door was still begging Bai Tao to let him out: "Luo Hong and Xiao Zhou are still waiting for me upstairs."
"Young man, stop struggling. I don't believe a word you say. Qianqian used the props on the fifth floor and they have already passed the level."
"Impossible, the fifth floor--" He suddenly came to realization and stopped talking.
But Bai Tao already knew the answer from his attitude.
"So the blood isn't on the fifth floor, it's here, right?"
"I won't tell you."
Bai Tao sighed quietly and used her trait [Reason].
"So where's the blood?"
"I don't know. The master didn't tell me, but it's somewhere on the first floor below ground. The master ordered someone to come and trick it into locking it up."
Before leaving, Bai Tao used her trait to ask the young man one last question: "Do you remember your race?"
The young man was puzzled: "I am a slime monster. Didn't you see me transform?"
I sighed in my heart, my youth was completely contaminated by the copy and there is no going back.
