Chapter 229: Cannibal Snails
This time, Greed didn't talk nonsense and directly destroyed the password equipment of the gate with a weapon, and pried open the iron door that was impossible to open with ordinary human manpower. Behind the iron door with a thickness of 0.3 meters, a dense snail shell the size of a palm was exposed, and the visual impact made the demon fox can't help but curse in a low voice.
"It's snails again this time, don't tell me they're eating people too...... Belch?! Before Mo Li finished speaking, those snail shells suddenly secreted a large amount of sticky liquid, and the snails living in them seemed to feel vibration and fresh breath to wake up from their dormancy, but the milky white soft body was different from ordinary snails...... Like the large tentacles of the first room, they protrude from their "heads" with a large number of tentacles, which do not look like harmless sensory organs, and if they come into contact with the skin, they will suck human blood like bloodsuckers!
"It seems that after a year and a half of breeding, the number is a bit large." Greed calmly watched as snails kept climbing up from the room on the lower floor, and probably guessed what kind of disgusting scene the second basement floor was. But he crushed the few snails that crawled to his side, and ignored the biochemical snails with long tentacles sticking out of his tentacles, and jumped directly from the entrance.
Mo Li continued to comfort herself This is a visual exercise, using fox fire to surround her body and not to entangle too much with a large number of biochemical snails, jumping down from the passage crawling with dense snails, those tentacles that are about to touch her body are burned by the flames, those snails seem to have no pain, desperately stretching the straws that suck flesh and blood, some have even stretched to a meter.
None of them saw that the remains of the snails that had just been crushed suddenly arched into small blisters, and finally some new tentacles emerged from them......
When you enter the second basement floor, there is a long sewer-like passage with a layer of sticky liquid stored on the ground. Moli carefully protected his exposed skin with flames to prevent the liquids that might have been secreted by snails from corroding his skin.
"Some creatures injected with viruses with reduced virulence will not turn into zombie-like creatures, but will be modified into mutated creatures with particularly strong reproductive abilities. If these snails are not burned to ashes by fire, they will continue to divide and multiply as long as there are cells left. Although Greed is not very good at fire escape, it does not prevent him from using the fireball technique to clean up the miserable second basement passage.
"How much is that?!" From time to time, Mo Li also used fox fire to clean the path under his feet. From the initial numbness of her scalp to the later numbness of her vision, she was able to ignore the snails that filled the entire hallway, left and right, and they were everywhere and even fell from the top of her head. If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that there would be no meat residue left to be devoured a long time ago.
If these snails have a little point, I am afraid that there will be thousands of points along the way...... The demon fox unconsciously brought the mind of a terrifying copy to estimate the combat effectiveness and number of these snails. Although it is somewhat inappropriate, it also shows how outrageous the number of snails is.
The lighting equipment on the second floor seems to be covered by snails, even if there is a gray light through, it only adds to the horror and despair, Moli still uses his fox fire as a lighting facility, and it is also very good to prevent snails from falling overhead.
"There are only a few real biochemical snails, and these snails are all replicas of those that were split by the mother." Greed knew this creature very well, and casually peeled off a few snails with the tip of his knife and brought his tentacles to his side, sneering. "You should be glad that there are still some animal test subjects with little intelligence, and if you go any further, it is likely that they will be mutant monsters left over from human experiments. Although they are fragile, they become particularly annoying with a little intelligence. ”
"For example, zombies who can experiment with test tubes?"
“…… Go any further. It is estimated that there will be variants of large carnivores. ”
In this way, the two of them walked normally in the corridor where there was only the sound of water stains and squirming in the silence of each other, and confirmed each other's status with words.
After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, this long corridor with nearly 10,000 snails adhered to it came to an end, and directly opposite the door was a door with glass that had "melted", and snails were slowly crawling out of the gate. It is conceivable that the mother body of the so-called snail is in the depths of this door.
There were also rows of rooms marked with different functions on both sides of the corridor, but the greedy target was obviously the door facing the door, and the silver light of the Kusanagi sword in his hand flashed through the door, and the snail on the silver light was cut in half along with the shell, and the crumbling door that had been corroded was also split.
The scene inside the gate made Mo Li feel another surging stomach acid-
A room full of snails! A snail the size of a stroller was lying on a table with no prototype in sight, and the color of its body turned from off-white to red when it spotted the intruder. A four-petaled mouthpart suddenly cracked on the head without any organs, and a large number of slender tentacles ejected out like vines of the devil's vine!
“!”
Seeing that Mo Li was staying where he was, he snorted greedily and dissatisfiedly to cut off the tentacles that rushed over. The tentacles are severed and fall to the ground. Like wriggling worms, the body gradually expands, and finally forms a mollusk-like structure, and hard snail shells gradually grow on their backs, and in just a few seconds, they grow into a new batch of man-eating snails.
"Okay, good......" The demon fox trembled for a long time and finally pursed his mouth and came out with a sentence, his tone gradually changed from low and trembling to high-pitched, "It's disgusting, ahhhhh
With Moli's scream. Flames filled the room, purposefully scorching the slimy snails. Within half a minute, the room that had just been covered with a layer of slime was burned to the ground, and the precise demonic control only burned all the biochemical snails without damaging the other items in the laboratory, including...... When the flames were extinguished, white bones without a trace of minced meat were exposed.
The snails in the hallway behind them seemed to have picked up something, and at a speed visible to the naked eye**, all that was left was soon the shriveled snail shell. And those snail shells fell from the side of the wall to the ground, and when they were smashed, they seemed to have been weathered for a long time.
Greedy looked at the panting Mo Li with a malicious smile, "Heh, so you're afraid of this." ”
The fox girl turned her head and held her face with her hands and screamed exaggeratedly, "Don't you feel a kind of impact that directly reaches the spiritual power, enters your vision through the surface of the snail and then feeds back into your mind, producing a kind of limb weakness and a strong feeling of nausea, and the body is uncontrollable and wants to explode into a strong fear, this is a powerful mental force attack that both ordinary people and awakened people will be attacked...... I was hit hard by this mysterious mental attack just now, and my mind was blank for two seconds! ”
"......" once again saw Mo Li's off-line skills, and greed wisely chose to ignore the few words and walked over to the bones, which still maintained their distorted posture before death, and seemed to have died in a state of extreme pain. Although the man-eating snail does not have sharp teeth, but those tentacles that protrude from the mouth will burrow into the human skin to absorb blood and nutrients, a snail may suck very slowly, but if the whole body is crawling with this snail, it may be sucked alive in just a few minutes.
There was also a scalpel next to one of the corpses, probably not for killing enemies but for self-liberation.
"Huh...... Is this self-inflicted cleverness? Greedily scanning the table, he found that several test tubes were still intact, and the surface of the table was not like the table, because of the slight acid mucus secreted by the snails, which corroded during the day, and contained not potions, but rolls of white paper.
If you see these words, it means that we have all been buried under the cannibal snail. We spend our lives imprisoned in this underground steel cage, only to become the sinners of the ages who opened Pandora's box! If you (there are traces of changes here), please take the following information out of the lab. Our trial progress has reached T-5633X, and the molecular formula of the virus is ......]
Greed tore up the note with some disappointment, "It's a pity that it was discovered too late, and the virus has entered the collective mutation twice and this information has become a thing of the past." ”
"These researchers have their own families and lives, but even if there are no accidents, it seems that they will never be able to go out of research, so is it worth it to study here day and night?" Mo Li also found last words with different handwriting but similar information in other test tubes, and at the moment of the outbreak of the virus, these researchers, who were the first to be infected and shocked, finally realized what a stupid thing they had been doing, in a vain attempt to make the final redemption. It's just that, along with this information, it has also become worthless dust over time.
"Isn't it worth it?" Greed paused for a momentary moment, and sneered, "No matter what the reason, once the virus really reaches the experimental goal, then every 'volunteer' who participates in this project can realize their wishes." There is hope for a cure for a family's terminal illness, becoming a millionaire with a lifetime of money, or gaining superpowers to become an evolved new human, prolonging life, and even using biological weapons to conquer the world...... Do you think it's worth it? ”
It's worth it, but it's not worth it.
Mo Li lowered her eyes, "if", just "if", the virus did not leak and she had such an opportunity, would she really give up, would she really not have a little bit of heartbeat? As it turned out, the whole world was moved. It's just that now there are no more beautiful ifs, only the end of a nightmare.
"And what are you going to get?"
"Everything, everything."
Greed replied without hesitation, kicking over the tables and chairs blocking his destination to reveal the blocked door, through which several faint handprints could be seen through the cloudy glass, which suddenly disappeared as he approached, and a pale-eyed face slammed into the glass door with a dull thud.
ps:
Today's weather is a little cold and windy, and I finally left to go to self-study with earmuffs, but the earmuffs were forgotten in the self-study classroom and picked up by the old man who picked up garbage.
