Chapter 173: The Crystal Crisis

Anne escorted Robert into the corner of the passage diffused with a pale gray light, the seemingly weird light did not bring any discomfort, with the light red emergency light on the wall, you can still vaguely see the surrounding environment, Anne shook the barrel of the assault rifle in her hand, signaling the grinding Robert to speed up the pace to catch up with Song Xiaoshuang and Elijah, before turning the corner, she heard the frightened Russian shouting voice of the old man Ilya, Anne sighed in her heart, knowing that something was wrong!

"Let's go, don't rub it off!"

Anne's expression changed, and she whispered in English, warning Robert, who had stopped because of Old Ilya's shouting, and there was a hesitant look on his face.

Robert found that Anne's finger had been on the trigger, and his face changed suddenly, knowing that he couldn't hesitate at this time, otherwise the stinky girl next to him would definitely shoot, so he chose to temporarily give in and walked towards the bend of the passage, and Anne followed quickly with a gun.

The two turned around and walked along the cement passage full of various pipes and facilities, the light gray light diffused in the passage became significantly stronger, and the eyes of Robert and Anne both felt very uncomfortable, and the pupils felt a slight tingling and unconsciously oozing tears, and they could barely see the passage in front of them under the dazzling light.

Anne didn't know if the brightness of the pale gray light was due to the change of the energy device, but she didn't have time to think about it, she turned the passage only more than ten meters away, and in the process of walking, she had already passed through an open airtight alloy security door, and entered a strange secret room full of various unknown devices, the walls, floor, and ceiling were covered with beige metal siding.

The secret room is at least three hundred square meters and more than ten meters high, and it is also filled with a strange light gray light, and the origin of this light is from a one-meter-thick diamond-shaped vertical pipe at the top tip of a gourd-shaped tower-like reaction device located in the middle of the secret room, which covers an area of more than ten square meters and is more than four meters high. It should have been blocked by the device just behind the reaction device to not see it.

The half-meter-long diamond-shaped pipe at the top of the reactor is made of black unknown metal, just like an enlarged version of the rocket head, but the middle is a hollow pipe, and it can be clearly seen that the light gray light is constantly spewing out of the diamond-shaped pipe like a fountain, and with the light gray light, you can detect a faint brown smoke being sprayed out at the same time, and the smoke will soon dilute into the air and disappear after leaving the vertical pipe of the reaction device, and at the same time, the diamond-shaped pipe is obviously under pressure, emitting a low voice like a snake spitting a letter" hiss, and this sound tends to get louder, indicating that a certain energy reaction in the reactor is intensifying.

Anne's nose fanned, it seemed to smell an indescribable metal odor, a bit similar to the smell of rust, carefully felt that this rust smell was not obvious, Anne shook her head, her eyes moved away from the strange reaction device, looked around the strange secret room where the reaction device was arranged, and found that there was also an enterable passage entrance on the opposite wall, the alloy door was wide open, and there was a one-meter diameter shaft passage on the metal floor in the corner of the wall a few meters away on the other side, and the thick shaft cover was dismantled and thrown aside, Anne took a closer look and realized that the manhole cover had been violently knocked off from the bottom and the safety pin had been thrown out, and someone had entered the chamber through the shaft!

"Annie, we're going to go out and stop Mike, it'll be too late if he gets to the city!"

Anne was guessing whether Zheng Hailing and the others were entering the secret room from the shaft passage, when Song Xiaoshuang, who was carrying a general-purpose machine gun, came out of the side of the reaction device arranged in the middle of the secret room, and Song Xiaoshuang's figure just appeared and spoke quickly, reminding Anne to hurry up, Song Xiaoshuang's expression was unusually cold, and Anne knew that he was serious.

Anne looked at the open door on the opposite wall and the cement passage behind it, knowing that time was limited, Robert wanted to walk to the opposite passage, just a few steps, I saw the fat old man Ilya, holding a large wrench in his hand, on the side of the reaction device control panel super fast lock a few nuts, Anne's eyes were about to bulge, I felt a little dizzy in my brain, and secretly said to myself This is what the old man said to reset the method of adjusting the delay explosion time? The Russians are tough, the buttons and switches on the control panel are not used, and the nuts are directly wrenched?

Thinking of this, Anne stopped, looked at the old man Ilya who was busy with his hands and already saw beads of sweat on his forehead, and asked a few words in English.

"How much time do we have to spare, and how useful is it to do that?"

"Mike took people to dismantle the reactor energy crystal reactor of the reactor device, and took away most of the synthetic energy crystals that were still in an unstable state, damn Mike, greedy and shameless miscellaneous pieces, he finally came to this point, but he will regret it, definitely!"

The old man Ilya almost roared and shouted English while casually throwing away the wrench in his hand, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked quickly to the wide open alloy door behind him, and after Anne followed Robert quickly, the corner of his eye found that the reaction device, which covers an area of more than ten square meters, has a hole about one meter wide one meter away from the metal floor!

You can see the internal structure of the reactor from the hole, an inch-thick metal wall plate and a few hexagonal screws are scattered on the metal floor, and there is an open toolbox on the floor next to it, all kinds of wrenches and pliers tools are readily available, this is obviously not the merit of the old man Ilya, as the old man Ilya said, this is what Mike took people to do, remove the metal wall plate of the reactor, enter the device and remove most of the synthetic energy crystals, because the time is very tight, and throw away the tools directly, The metal siding that was removed was not put back in either.

"Made, this miscellaneous Mike has actually entered the core energy device area for the second time, it's just too cunning to look at it, let's go!"

Anne hurriedly followed the old man Ilya and Song Xiaoshuang into the cement passage outside the alloy door opposite the secret room, the smart Anne noticed that this passage was also diffused with a pale gray light, and her mind turned, and she instantly understood what was going on, and muttered to herself in a low voice, raising her eyes to see that Robert was still deliberately delaying time, Anne yelled angrily and warned Robert that he must cooperate with everyone's actions.

"Mike didn't stay long, we still had a chance to stop him, and said as we walked and said that the reason why I told you why the black S-class virus didn't spread is because"

In the footsteps farther and farther away, the voice of the old man Ilya echoed in the passage for a long time, and the sound of the "hiss" of the core energy device in the secret room became more and more obvious, and the light of the pale red emergency power supply light on the metal wall had gradually blurred, and was drowned out by the light gray light that diffused in the secret room

2 kilometers north of the north-south jungle basin, it is already nightfall, a river with a width of no more than ten meters but deep water level meanders like a giant python across the jungle, and the river water, which was originally black because of the lack of light, reflects a little light at this time.

At this time, several rubber assault boats equipped with engines were moored at the river's edge, and on each assault boat there was a base guard wearing a jungle digital camouflage uniform and holding a gun sitting at the stern of the boat, and the guard was wearing a miner's lamp tied to the back of his head with a strap on his head, the light of the miner's lamp was not very good, dozens of male and female researchers wearing wide light blue researcher overalls looked frightened, and under the coercion of several gun-wielding base guards on the side, they quickly jumped onto the assault boat, and sat honestly in the assault boat under the low reprimand of the base guard. Wait for the base guards to operate the assault boat to take them out of the ghost lab base, which they can't go back to.

But when there are many people or they are running away, there are always various problems, even for these escaped biochemical laboratory researchers, and it is always difficult to unify people's minds in times of chaos.

"Where's Mike, bastard, it's not going to be a solitary escape, is it? I don't take an assault boat, the rivers around the base are full of spotted piranhas, where are the helicopters? ”

"Rick, stop talking, get on board"

Two middle-aged researchers, a man and a woman, stood on the red soil by the river, because the male researcher was whispering English and didn't want to get on the assault boat, and was pulled in front of the assault boat by the female researcher next to him while talking.

Before the two researchers could jump into the assault boat, they had already heard a commotion among the researchers behind them, and Mike, the top boss at the top of the base, was wearing a striped suit that was already a little crumpled, carrying a small alloy box in his hand, and hurried to the river under the escort of several gun-armed guards at the base.

At this time, Mike's expression was cold, after standing by the river and looking at the researchers, he tilted his head and shook his hand twice, and several gun-wielding base guards wearing jungle digital camouflage uniforms swarmed up, squeezed away the researchers who were standing by the river without getting on the assault boat, and walked to Rick's side, without saying anything, he tied Rick with a rope, and hung upside down on the branch of a big tree near the water at a super fast speed, and then slowly lowered the rope, Rick's head and feet were only more than a meter high from the water surface, and this trend continued.

Rick has come to his senses, this is the rhythm of using himself as bait! Just as I was about to say something, the speed of the rope descent suddenly accelerated, Rick's entire body sank into the water body like a stump, and the splash was just an instant, and countless black fist-sized objects appeared in the water around Rick's body, and Rick, whose body was tied tightly by the rope, squirmed like a shrimp in the water body, but black and red blood stains then appeared on him, and the water surface kept splashing with blood stains, and a fist-sized spotted piranha jumped out of the water and was nearly a meter high and smashed into the water body, In just a few moments, the rope immersed in the water was bitten off, and Rick's body disappeared, but he could vaguely see blood floating on the surface of the water.

"Tell the pilot that if he doesn't arrive within two minutes, he won't be used!"

Mike was expressionless at all about giving the order to feed Rick to the fish, and after seeing that the river gradually subsided, he spoke quickly to a gun-wielding guard beside him, and the gun-wielding guard nodded and was about to contact the pilot with the radio on his back, when the roar of helicopter rotors stirring the air was already heard over the jungle!
