Chapter 38: The Search
There was deathly silence around, and the sound of elevators descending was particularly harsh.
Mu Zhixuan and a few people walked out of the elevator, and the lights in the dark basement corridor on the fifteenth floor suddenly lit up.
Several people nervously raised their feet and walked forward slowly, and in the silence, the footsteps and heartbeats of everyone were like drums.
The rooms on either side were filled with a variety of instruments of illegible purpose, and some rooms were filled with parts of various creatures.
The head of a ferocious beast, the teeth of a snake, the claws of an unknown animal, and some soaked in formalin liquid, and the entrails of the original owner's animal could not be seen.
The heads of those animals all maintained the most complete expressions, pained, angry...... Those eyes were staring at the people passing by outside the window, and a few people were furious in their hearts.
"Mu ...... Eldest brother...... This place is eerie, what samples need to be taken back, isn't it these disgusting things?" the man in glasses swallowed nervously, and stumbled as he pointed to the exhibit inside the tempered glass.
"Not a sample. Mu Zhixuan replied indifferently while looking at the rooms on both sides of the corridor seriously.
"Not a sample, what's that?" everyone was startled and stopped in unison. Only Mu Zhixuan was unmoved and continued to move forward. Only the voice continued coldly: "Before leaving, I saw Qin Chuan. ”
Yao Qiang immediately realized: "Big brother, do you mean the academician who escaped from the experimental base?"
"Well, before the end of the world, he used to buy some equipment from me, and we had a good personal relationship. Mu Zhixuan didn't like to say more, but he couldn't finish talking about this matter in one or two sentences, and it was easy to affect morale if he didn't say it clearly, so he had to explain patiently, "In the military department, there are no fifteen floors in the basement of this base, and he has long suspected that someone in the base is doing forbidden experiments and deliberately blocked the news, and has been investigating, until the day of the outbreak of the end of the world, a man with sharp claws and infinite strength burst out of the ground and killed hundreds of soldiers. If the earthquake hadn't occurred in the last days and given him a chance to escape, the claw would have grabbed his head. ”
"Zombies are infinitely powerful and weird. Berserker Da Zhuang frowned.
Mu Zhixuan shook his head: "I know Qin Chuan, he is a strict person. As he spoke, he searched each room carefully, "The man he saw was strong and not decomposed. The most important thing is that this is happening before the end of the world!"
"Hiss......" everyone was terrified of possibility, "They experimented with living people?"
Mu Zhixuan nodded heavily: "Qin Chuan has been checking for a long time, and I feel that there should be a bigger conspiracy, and here is just the front station of the conspiracy." ”
Several people looked at each other, and Yao Qiang asked hesitantly: "Then he gave you this card?"
Mu Zhixuan shook his head: "Zhou Ju gave it to me before leaving, he didn't say how he got it, he only said that we need to find a box this time." ”
"Box? What kind of box? What about Brother Liang? Did Zhou Ju distrust him for a long time? Since Zhou Ju's son was in a vegetative state, Brother Liang has indeed made small movements, and anyone with a discerning eye can see what he is going to do. Yao Qiang's eyes flashed.
Mu Zhixuan nodded, no longer explained, just solemnly advised: "There has been no movement until now, I estimate that the test samples should be locked up somewhere, don't touch things casually for a while, and leave immediately when you find the box." ”
Everyone agreed, cheered up and went from room to room.
Occasionally, zombies pop out of the room, and the zombies here don't seem to have evolved, so a few people just sent them away.
Until the end of the corridor, only the last room remained, and everyone still had no clue.
This room, like the others, has floor-to-ceiling tempered glass windows, so you can see the contents at a glance. There was only a row of shelves with countless bottles and cans, and the smell of formalin filled the nose.
A few people were still on guard at first, but when they saw the last few rows of shelves, they still didn't get anything. The man with glasses walked around a display case, looked at the samples behind him and wondered, "Big brother, where did Zhou Ju get this news?
Mu Zhixuan shook his head, carefully recalling every room he had walked through, wondering if he would turn around and look for it again after a while, when he suddenly heard a frightened scream.
He immediately looked up, a flash of fire in his hand.
An eerie shadow appeared on the opposite wall. Slowly walk outward. In the last days, people are accustomed to the strange appearance of all kinds of zombies, Mu Zhixuan was not afraid, but he was more vigilant, and looked at the red-haired young man who was screaming with reproachful eyes.
Yao Qiang also made a posture of battle, but he scolded in his mouth: "Xiaobai, what are you talking about, haven't you seen zombies?"
"It's not...... No, you see, that, that head...... Two, two!"
Everyone looked carefully, and they were a little surprised in their hearts, the shadow was obviously a human body, but the other end was split in two from above, and one of them had obvious bulging fangs.
Everyone is more vigilant, and they don't know what new type of zombie it is.
"What's wrong with the zombies?" Yao Qiang didn't pay attention to him anymore, and decided to strike first, rushing over and stabbing out with an ice spike in his hand.
"Ah......hh Elder brother...... Spare your life!"
Yao Qiang's hand stopped with the ice thorn, changed it to a slap, and slapped the teenage boy with the boar's head in his hand: "You bastard, whoever let you run around with a sample, I shouldn't be soft-hearted, and I was asked by my father to let you enter the collection team, look at you now, I lost the old man......"
Yao Wei muttered while hiding from his brother's slap: "No, brother, look, the shelves over there are full of animal heads, I just think it's funny, I want to take a look...... Besides, I'm looking for it......"
Mu Zhixuan frowned, the fireball in his hand disappeared, and he didn't pay attention to a few people, turned around and rummaged again.
Listening to the meaning of Zhou Ju's words, the box should be the key to opening a mysterious basement, it should be said that the key is not bad, he also said that the box should be here, but why is it not?
Mu Zhixuan, who was pondering, suddenly heard a "boom" vibration, and looked up to see that Yao Qiang's slap was still in the air, and Yao Wei was standing on the ground a few steps away from him, with his back against the wall, and a strange bulge under his feet.
Looking at the excitement, all the rummaging things opened their mouths wide, and watched in a daze as the wall behind Yao Wei suddenly rose, and he was caught off guard.
The red lights flashed throughout the room, and a shrill alarm sounded: "Danger! Danger! Please prepare for protection immediately and activate the advanced plan." ”
What to protect? Everyone was at a loss.
But then, they saw three huge iron prisons behind the walls, and three strange figures stood inside.
When the red light stopped and the iron prison rumbled again, Mu Zhixuan suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Dawei, get out of the way!"
A fireball smashed straight into the frightened Yao Wei.
Yao Wei screamed in shock, his body was light, his waist was pulled forward by the glasses man's hair, but his legs were pulled back by something, he screamed in pain, and before he could react, he felt that his legs were light, and he was pulled back to the glasses man.
Shocked, he heard several piercing quacks. Looking up, a long, blood-red tongue was rapidly retracting from the iron prison closest to where he had fallen.
Mu Zhixuan struck a blow and did not stop, he immediately released a ring of fire, enveloping the strange figure that had not yet appeared in the iron prison.
The others reacted and unleashed their strongest attacks on the other two iron prisons.
