Chapter 11: The Dark Vortex 14

Both Lloyd and Catou exited the hatch and returned to the passageway, and slammed the hatch shut-

Lloyd looked at Kathu, who had already been torn apart from his trouser legs and shoes, which had been corroded by the liquid sputtered from the disgusting whole.

"What's going on?" Lloyd asked, looking at the torn parts of Kathu's clothes.

"You're in luck! There's still a harvest here, the side I just walked was full of traps, I gritted my teeth and went all the way to the bottom, only to end up with nothing but a pile of bones! Kathu shook his head and said, if it hadn't been for Lloyd's mention, Kathu wouldn't have noticed that his clothes and pants had been worn out in so many places.

"I see, there's nothing wrong with the crystal skulls, right?" Lloyd looked at Kathu.

Kathu turned around and gestured to the crystal skull that was tightly wrapped in a white cloth behind him, and it was as good as ever.

"It's good that you have first-class lockpicking skills, otherwise I and I would be the supper of those guys." Lloyd said to Kathu, hooked his palm, motioned for Kathu to follow, and continued to the next secret room, because Lloyd had a hunch that the next secret room should have an antidote.

"It's only a dozen seconds to open such a hatch...... things. Kathu followed, pausing as he spoke, feeling a burning pain begin to rise from below in his left foot.

Lloyd turned his head and saw Kathu's forbearant expression, knowing that the splattered liquid had begun to corrode Kathu's feet, and since the nature of these liquids was not yet known, if they were not dealt with in time, it was likely to spread to the entire left leg, and the consequences would be serious!

Seeing that Lloyd was preoccupied, Kathu actually smiled at Lloyd.

"Looks like you know what I'm worried about." Lloyd said in a low voice, staring at Kathu's left foot worriedly.

"When I was a child, I saw the process of the head lowering master in Thailand, and the ones we saw just now were definitely not zombies or anything! So these liquids are not simply things that come out of corpses. Katu also said with a solemn expression, trying to lift his left leg.

Who knew that Kathu, who could still kick his leg before leaving the secret room, at this time his left leg was gradually out of control, and bursts of sharp pain were constantly coming, Kathu fell backwards and leaned against the wall.

Lloyd was about to go up to help, but Kathu stretched out his palm to signal that he didn't need to.

"My thoughts are the same as yours, it is very likely that they invited a head descender from Thailand, but those containers inside seem to be more than just the head descender's method. It's likely that there is also a technological chemistry, which means that there is a big black hand behind it. Lloyd turned to look at the hatch that had been tightly closed, and felt goosebumps rise as he thought of the group of lifeforms inside.

Catou gritted his teeth and pressed his back to the wall, trying to barely get up, but the sharp pain in his left foot had made him lose some sensation, and Kathu stumbled forward, almost falling to the ground, and Lloyd quickly grabbed his arm.

"You'd better stay here for a while, I'll take care of the rest, and I'll definitely help you get the antidote." Lloyd said to Kathu, helping him aside, and Kathu reluctantly sat down.

"I can do it! Can't let you go on an adventure alone! Kathu said with a fierce expression.

The strength of this tough guy really touched Lloyd's heart deeply.

"Leave it to me, without further ado, you have to have faith in me!" Lloyd gave Kathu a thumbs up.

Kathu was about to say something, but seeing Lloyd's determined eyes, he smiled and leaned against the wall.

"Don't hang up, I've always wanted to fight you." Catou said very seriously.

"Don't worry, I also want to see how powerful the boxing champions of the Ten Cities of Martial Arts are." Lloyd tapped Catou on the shoulder, nodded, and turned to the next room.

Unlike the two in between, the next chamber was one every fifty meters, and the passage was still winding, and when Lloyd had walked almost a few hundred meters, he could no longer see Kathu when he turned around.

Lloyd continued to walk forward, and sure enough, the next secret room appeared in front of him. Lloyd tiptoed lightly to the door, this door was probably the most ordinary door, there were no special locks, no mechanisms, the same size as a normal room door, and there were windows on it.

Lloyd peeked inside the chamber -

This is a secret room of more than 30 square meters, which is neatly and orderly placed with many tables, on which there are various chemical reagents, as well as operating tables, as well as various small containers and test tubes of bottles and cans.

Among them was a man in a white uniform with a mask in his pocket, holding a tube of needles in his hand, and with a slight push, some of the green viscous liquid inside was squeezed out.

"Is this just the green viscous liquid that soaks those lifeforms?!" Lloyd stared at the tube of reagents.

Inside, another man in a white uniform, with white gloves on his hands, took out an arm from a large cabinet that looked like a refrigerated cabinet, which was already in a semi-rotten state, and the fingers on it were like dry branches.

Lloyd swallowed as he watched......

The half-rotten arm was placed on the bench, around which five or six researchers in white uniforms were gathered.

The others looked a little frightened and stretched out their hands to press the half-rotten arm, and the one holding the green viscous liquid reagent injected into the half-rotten arm.

Because the distance was not too far, Lloyd could see everyone's expressions clearly, and one of them pressed the half-rotten arm, his pupils dilated and the corners of his eyes drooped. It seems to be full of fear of what is in front of him.

The person holding the reagent was injecting, but the corners of his eyes were raised, and his eyelids blinked many times from time to time because of excitement.

"What do they want to do!? Why is it that from the micro-expressions of these people, it can be seen that except for the person who injected the reagent, everyone else is so afraid of this?! Lloyd watched every move inside, his head racing.

When all the injections were completed, the person who injected the injections squinted his eyes triumphantly, carefully observing the changes in the half-rotten arm. The people next to him who were pressing this half-rotten arm were shaking their hands, very nervous, and beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads.

On the half-rotten arm, the dry fingers twitched......

Lloyd could tell from the look in the look of the man who injected the reagent that he was smirking evilly.
