"Hurry! Someone come quickly! You have to move fast!"
"Ah-ah-ah-my head hurts..."
"Hold on a little longer! Don't worry, we will definitely be able to defeat the disease. Nothing can defeat us!"
Slightly hoarse shouts continued to be heard from the tightly closed door.
A young experimenter stood outside the door, completely wrapped in protective gear, not even a crack showing. His hand, which had been about to knock on the door, froze in mid-air.
"What are you thinking about? Don't you see what time it is now?" Another tribesman who was also wearing protective clothing walked over. After hearing the sound coming from the room, he did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he raised his hand and knocked on the door in front of him.
"Chief, there's been a problem with the development of codename 'Twenty-Three'. Someone over there needs your attention."
For a moment, the wailing still echoed in the air, but Sige's deep and powerful voice of comfort could no longer be heard. Just as the two were about to knock on the door again, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The village chief was covered in blood. He walked with a staggering gait, shaking his head, and left with a gloomy expression.
He muttered to himself, "The curse the demon has brought upon us is truly horrific! Our people seem to have suddenly gone insane, claiming to have seen the truth of what happened back then, then claiming they can complete Project 1. However, their lives are also mercilessly counting down."
He sighed deeply as he walked. The two people following closely behind him were also silent, because those lying inside were not only their close friends, but also their parents.
Before the outbreak of this catastrophic disease, their entire village was immersed in a beautiful scene of prosperity and peace.
Siger quickly crossed the land covered by the golden grid. At this moment, the setting sun dyed half the sky red like blood.
He once loved watching this beautiful sunset, but now he only felt that it was full of endless irony.
The blooming evil flower also became the murderer that killed the villagers, and its color may not be forgotten by generations.
"Chief, you are here," a man covered in a black robe stood at the door of the laboratory. Seeing Siger coming, he saluted.
Sig waved his hand and said, "Go in," and then the four of them walked into the laboratory together.
As soon as I entered, I felt a dampness hitting me in the face, followed by a pungent smell of burning.
Siger frowned, but as an alchemist, he knew that these were inevitable.
From a distance, the entire laboratory was dominated by several thick, transparent containers, each filled with dark green liquid. Although it was only in the laboratory, these were enough to destroy the entire forest. Every time Sige saw them, he felt like the demons of hell were softly chanting.
"I don't want to do this, but the forest demons have already hurt my people," he consoled himself.
At this moment, a figure in a black robe slowly approached. Her entire body was adorned with glittering golden ornaments, and every step she took made a melodious tinkling sound. Her face was concealed by a black veil, making it impossible to glimpse her true appearance.
"Master Patriarch, we asked you to come here because the experiment is nearing completion. Only the last alchemy array needs blessing and assistance. I wonder when you think it is appropriate to start it?" Her tone was as calm as dead water, without any ripples.
"Let's wait a little longer. Nanger and the four children are still in the forest. I think maybe they will bring us different news," he said to the woman after a moment of silence.
"You seem to trust them, but our villagers can't wait any longer," the woman continued.
"This is our last resort. After all, none of us wants something like this to happen. If we don't have any solution by then, I think the worst that can happen is that all of us in this clan will live and die together." Siger's face was calm, but his eyes could not hide the sadness.
"Then let's all take a break first," he stared at the dark green flowing liquid. If it were under the sun, it would surely be beautiful, Si Ge thought slowly. After all, the forest where they had lived since they were young was black.
He slowly walked out of the laboratory, and countless memories from childhood to adulthood flooded into his mind.
He remembered that he was a little older than Nangel, and they could almost be said to be good friends who had played together since childhood and were inseparable.
I am a bit of a loner and am often busy with experiments, but Nanger always follows me around. Even if Nanger does nothing, he likes to stay by my side and watch me practice formations.
Over time, they became good friends who could talk about anything.
Whenever it rains, the sky is always as clear and transparent as a huge sapphire. Even if a few wisps of black smoke rise occasionally, they will soon dissipate in the air, as if they had never existed.
At that time, they would hold hands and run and play together on the edge of the forest.
For some reason, the promise they made when they were children suddenly emerged in his mind: when they grow up, they must go hand in hand and go deep into the mysterious forest to see with their own eyes what the demon that the adults talked about looks like.
After all, at that time, the so-called "devils" just liked to catch children for fun, and they would only punish bad children who were disobedient.
