Chapter 5: The Creeper
Click......
The rhythmic sound of the machine spring kept sounding, and Xingyu's fingers flicked, taking off a few parts from time to time, and after a while, a small pile of parts around Xingyu was piled up.
"Solved!" In just fifteen minutes, Xingyu lifted all the mechanical locks on the gate and stood up to wipe the beads of sweat oozing from his head.
"Click......" Xingyu hooked the handle of the metal gate, pushed and pulled, and the metal gate suddenly made a harsh sound, and was slowly pulled open by Xingyu.
A bright light shone into the dimly lit basement - the automatic sensor light at the entrance to the base.
"The power supply system at the base is still working." Xingyu said after confirming that the power supply of the auto-sensing light was not a backup power supply.
The power supply system of the base is still running, which means that some dangerous places in the base are still in a state of system blockade, such as the research area of biochemical organisms, the cultivation area of some biochemical organisms, and so on. There are a large number of biochemical creatures in those places, and after being infected by the zombie virus, their danger will be greatly increased. And the power supply system of the base is still running, which means that He Li and Xingyu only need to deal with a small number of zombies that researchers have turned into and a very small number of mutant zombies that have not been blocked, which is much safer.
Xingyu led the way with ease, and He Li followed closely, and some black blood stains and damaged corpses appeared on the ground from time to time, reminding the two to be vigilant at all times. But the two didn't even encounter a single zombie along the way, and it seemed that it was a little too smooth.
Xingyu stopped in front of a metal door, the sign on the door was the biochemical area, Xingyu took out a silver ID card and put it in front of the card reader, He Li noticed that the photo on the ID card was a girl who was almost the same as himself.
"My sister's," Xingyu explained with a smile on He Li, "It's strictly managed here. My permission is the permission of the mechanical test area, and I cannot enter the biochemical test area. Her authority is from the Biochemical Testing Zone. ”
He Li tilted his head to the side, looked at the metal gate in a daze, and did not speak.
Although He Li didn't have a good impression of the "God" organization, he had to admit that the members of the "God" organization were all elites, and after knowing that Xingyu and his sister were members of the "God", as an ordinary college student, He Li suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.
Xingyu smiled, used the ID card to open the metal door, and went in first.
He Li looked at the open door in a daze. Thoughts suddenly became a little confused.
Why?
Why does Xingyu rely on himself?
He Li was a little confused, she didn't believe in those unconvincing reasons.
Is there a conspiracy? He Li suddenly thought.
After knowing that Xingyu and his sister are both members of the "gods", He Li has an idea that seems to be very sci-fi.
Kill her and use her body to resurrect Starshower's sister?
It may sound sci-fi, but it doesn't seem impossible. Just like before the end of the world, who believes that Resident Evil is not science fiction?
He Li remembered Xingyu's soft smile, shook his hair, and felt a little confused in his thoughts.
Impossible, right? She must have been overthinking.
"Phew!" A faint flame rose from He Li's fingertips, He Li raised his hand, looked at the flame in a daze, and then gently pinched it out in his palm.
Spread your hands, and a puff of green smoke rose gently.
He Li only hesitated for a moment and walked into the door, but she became more vigilant, but the target was the teenager who had been with her for nearly six days.
You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people!
He Li whispered to himself.
……
Xingyu was standing by a transparent glass curtain wall at this time, looking at something. He Li thought about it and walked to Xingyu's side.
The glass curtain wall is transparent, and you can clearly see the wolf scene on the other side.
On the other side of the glass curtain wall, there is a room full of holes, the pale green liquid accumulates nearly half a meter deep on the floor of the room, the whole room is full of broken glass and instruments, there are many large holes and countless scratches on the wall with a diameter of several meters, and the wall of this glass curtain wall is also full of scratches.
"It's ......"
"Creeper's incubation room." The sound of the star rain was a little heavy.
"Creepers?" He Li couldn't help but think of the kind of heart-wrenching monster in "Resident Evil".
"It's the kind from Resident Evil." Xingyu said in a deep voice, "The creepers in "Resident Evil" are based on the creepers researched by the 'gods'. ”
"The original name of the creeper was supposed to be a predatory muscle-strengthening zombie, acting instinctively in pursuit of fresh DNA material." Xingyu began to give He Li science, "Because of its good genetic compatibility, plasticity and strong vitality, it is used as a biochemical test matrix to modify new biochemical biological ......"
"Look like this...... They've escaped! Xingyu smiled slightly, it was hard to imagine that he could actually come out with a smile, "Because the creepers are used as an experimental base, the number is huge, and now, it is estimated that there are more than three hundred creepers roaming the base, and the combat power of each one should not be weaker than that black mutant zombie......"
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of becoming stronger because of the mutation!" Xingyu nodded slightly and continued.
He Li frowned rarely, it was too troublesome.
She also knows the strength of the mutant zombies, the internal defense is comparable to the steel plate, and the defense of the external scale armor must not be low, and the speed and strength are also extremely powerful. If he didn't have the ability to awaken, he would definitely die under its claws, and even if he had the ability now, He Li didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to win against it.
That kind of mutant zombie is so difficult to deal with, more than three hundred? Oh, my God!
He Li felt his head messed up.
"By the way, what about the other modified biochemical creatures? Did you run out? He Li thought of this rather serious question and asked.
"It's possible, but it's not likely." Starrain replied, "Because those biochemical creatures are too dangerous, they are all implanted with embedded miniature bio-ion bombs, which will be destroyed after being out of the control of the system for a period of time. ”
Destroyed...... He Li cared very much about Xingyu's statement, but she asked another very constructive question.
"Then why not plant this bio-ion bomb on the creepers?"
"Master, you may be overthinking." Xingyu smiled slightly and explained, "Due to the constraints, the bomb must be small enough to ensure that the explosion is powerful enough to destroy those biochemical creatures, and the master can also imagine the defense power of those creatures, right?" ”
He Li nodded, she still remembered the defense of the black zombie, and the defense of the creeper-based biochemical creature could naturally be imagined.
"In this way, those conventional bombs are useless." Xingyu continued, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, "The only things that can do these conditions are some unconventional bombs, such as ...... Nuclear bomb. ”
He Li's pupils shrank slightly, although she was a girl and had no interest in military affairs, how could she not know about the devastating weapon of nuclear bombs?
"Of course," Xingyu said, "the nuclear bomb is not stable enough, and it will cause nuclear radiation, and the shortcomings are too great, so it was quickly rejected." As a result, the 'God' organization adopted a new kind of bomb - the bio-ion bomb. ”
He Li was a little absorbed when he heard it, and he didn't notice that the topic seemed to be pulled away.
"This kind of biological ion bomb can directly annihilate organic matter without causing pollution, and at the same time, it is also very stable, small in size, and can also allow the recorder attached to it to record various parameters as research materials after destroying biochemical organisms, which is perfect." "However, the cost of this bio-ion bomb is too high, with an average cost of $30 million per bomb...... Therefore, it can only be implanted with biochemical organisms with a higher degree of danger. This kind of creature, there are only twenty in the whole base, and it is completely bearable. But if all the creepers were implanted, it would cost a full ten billion dollars, which is the minimum five-year budget for this base. What's more, every year the base will also breed about a hundred creepers for experiments, which is even more insufficient......"
"What about the creeper escaping?" He Li pointed to the messy and broken room, "It's like this." ”
"Normally, this room has a high level of defense, even if three hundred creepers work together, it will take several hours to escape, and in these few hours, the weapon system in the room can kill thousands of creepers......"
"Of course, it's not 'usual' now...... For insurance, weapons need to be unlocked artificially, and it seems that when the creeper escapes, there is no one left to unlock the weapon...... So...... The creepers have escaped, and we're going to have to deal with those guys too. For example, the one behind the owner......"
He Li was taken aback by Xingyu's last sentence and subconsciously turned around.
A blood-red monster broke open the opening of the ventilation duct and landed on the ground, sending a foul gust of wind with it.
"This is the creeper?" He Li narrowed his eyes slightly.
The blood-red monster resembled a skinned beast, its body covered with transparent mucus from knotted tendons, its huge head without eyes, only a terrifying bloody mouth dripping with a fishy smell, and its claws were thick and long, easily scratching the metal floor. He Li had no doubt that the creeper's claws had the attack power to kill him in an instant.
"Roar......" a muffled growl came from the creeper's throat.
He Li watched the creeper's every move, and the energy in his body flowed, ready to go.
"Whew-" The creeper's claws made a tooth-aching sound on the ground, and his body moved, and he quickly pounced.
He Li's hands were wrong, and a fire curtain was opened in an instant, like a gorgeous rose blooming, and the flames instantly engulfed the creeper.
The creeper was stopped by the flames, but he was not hurt much, and after a slight pause, he continued to pounce on He Li. Although its muscles are bare and it looks extremely fragile, its defenses are extremely tough.
He Li had already prepared, and a sliding step under his feet was several meters away, and the flames in his hands were wildly condensed. She's taken a leap in fitness since her ability exploded, and the creeper is a few points faster than the original black zombie, but she's good enough to keep up.
The creeper's reaction was also very fast, and he reflexively pounced, and his sharp claws were already grazing the corners of He Li's clothes.
He Li twisted his body, exerted force under his hand, and the scorching flame in his right hand slammed into the creeper's huge head.
The power of this blow was far greater than the attack just now, and the flames in He Li's hand condensed but did not erupt until He Li's fist penetrated into the creeper's head, and the creeper's head was instantly burned into charcoal by the powerful flames.
He Li drew his right hand expressionlessly, kicked the creeper's corpse away, and looked down at his arm.
On He Li's left arm, his clothes were torn, and a wound more than ten centimeters long was shocking.
There wasn't much blood on the wound, but it was an eerie black color, and brown pus was constantly leaking from the wound, which looked a little scary. He Li could clearly feel that something on the wound was preventing his body from healing itself.
He Li had just been scratched by the creeper, and the injury had only been more than ten seconds now, even if his physique was so good, the wound had deteriorated like this, He Li couldn't imagine that there was something on the creeper's claws.
"Creepers have zombie viruses and several other biochemical viruses on their paws, and the average person will turn into a zombie or rot into a skeleton within a few minutes after being scratched." Xingyu walked over and frowned at He Li's wound.
The wound has a tendency to worsen.
"We are immune to zombie viruses, but other biochemical viruses are troublesome." Xingyu studied He Li's wound a little and continued, "But it's okay now, the master's physique is not comparable to ordinary people, and the virus hasn't spread yet. ”
"Master, bear with me." Xingyu said, covering his hand over He Li's wound.
The wound quickly formed a thin layer of ice.
He Li could clearly feel that the infected places happened to be frozen.
