Chapter 510: The Hunter's Patience and Enjoyment
On the ground base, Elise's figure is like a ghost, hunting and killing the base members who are guarding the ground.
Catelyn's father stared at the tragic deaths of the base members on the surveillance screen with a heavy face, and he knew that the female demon named Elise would not spare any humans.
If they continue to sit and wait for death in the underground construction site, sooner or later they will follow in the footsteps of the members of the ground base and become Elise's belly.
And most importantly, the ground base had a lot of scientific research on him and Caitlyn's mother, and he couldn't bear to lose it.
In recent days, he and Caitlyn's mother have been supervising the construction of the spaceship, and by studying the differences between the undead and demons, they have designed a design of an alloy armor that ordinary soldiers can fight against undead soldiers.
Although he was not able to design the actual design due to the rush of time, he believed that the theory of the blueprint had been perfected, and as long as it was handed over to Oriana and Caitlin, and let the two of them inherit the research results of their Hex, they would definitely play a vital role in the future joint counterattack.
For now, Elise only wanders around the base's residential areas and daily eating areas, and has to navigate through the members' daily work areas to penetrate the many laboratory areas built specifically for him and Caitlyn's mother.
Caitlyn's father's eyes grew firm, and he planned to take a risk to the ground base to retrieve all the useful drawings in the laboratory area and give them to Orianna to take along.
Before he could do that, though, he contacted people from the outside world and asked them not to bring the evacuated survivors to the Hex Research Base. It could have been the best temporary refuge, but thanks to Elise's arrival, it has become the most dangerous purgatory.
Thinking of this, Caitlin's father skillfully manipulates the console in the control room, but he finds that no matter how much he presses the button, he can't convey information to the outside world.
Caitlin's mother on the side couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw that he was so nervous that her forehead was sweaty.
At the same time, Elise, who was enjoying the fun of hunting, directly pinched her heart that was about to eat, looked at the camera and said: "This base has been cut off by me, and the futile struggle is meaningless, rather than letting more people die, it is better to accept the established fate."
Elise's sarcastic words made Caitlyn's father's face pale to hear. Although Elise guessed his intentions wrongly, the barrier she accidentally hit was very likely to get more people to come and die.
Catelyn's father staggered back and nearly fell to the ground.
"Honey, are you alright?" Carelessly, Caitlin's mother stepped forward and held Caitlin's father.
"It's okay, I'm going to go to the lab and get some drawings back."
Caitlyn's father walked towards the door of the control room as he spoke. Seeing this, Caitlin's mother also followed.
"Uncle, aunt, you can't go, it's too dangerous on the ground!"
Oriana hurriedly blocked the doorway, preventing Catelyn's parents from going to the lab on the ground. You must know that there is a god-level demon above, and the two of them will most likely die if they go rashly like this.
This remark immediately resonated with the other members, and they all objected one after another: "Yes, you can't go!"
"Orianna niece, everyone, we have to go, you think, if you unite to form an army in the future, it's okay to encounter demons, demons are physical organisms, although most of the physique of ordinary human soldiers is not comparable to demons, but they can attack; And the undead are invisible soul bodies, ordinary human soldiers need special weapons, but also armor that can resist the attacks of the undead, and this armor design to resist the resistance of the undead alone is enough for us to take risks! ”
"But......" Orianna was shaken by the words, but she insisted that Caitlyn's parents were not going to be in danger.
Caitlin's father said in a deep voice, "Oriana, if you don't let us go now, wait for that demon to enter the laboratory area, and we will completely lose the possibility of fighting!"
Looking at his determined eyes, Orianna gave in. However, before Caitlin's parents took the elevator to the ground base, she still told the two to be sure to rush back as soon as possible, not to covet more drawings, time does not allow.
Caitlyn's parents nodded, and they took the elevator to the base on the ground.
Stopping in a secluded small room in the lab area, Caitlyn's parents quickly stepped out of it. In order to save time, the two climbed the wooden staircase at the edge of the wall in the dark.
With a few rhythmic taps on the ceiling at the top, a spiral staircase leading to the top emerges.
Together, the two of them walked up the swing staircase into the real laboratory area, and entered a laboratory as soon as possible.
After placing all the drawings and some items such as the result mixture into the huge storage space of Hex's inner bag on the cluttered lab table in the lab, the two of them hurried to the next lab, repeating the previous operation.
In the underground control room, Orianna stares nervously at the movements of Elise and Caitlin's parents in the surveillance footage.
At this time, Elise had just entered the daily work area, and now all the members of that place were in the underground construction site, so there would be no casualties.
On the other hand, Caitlin's parents quickly retrieved several laboratory drawings and some cutting-edge Hextech achievements under the surveillance footage.
Orianna breathed a sigh of relief, for now, it seemed impossible to enter the lab area with Elise's leisurely search speed.
However, in the moment when she relaxed, she was once again nervous because of Elise's movements on the surveillance screen.
Elise, who had not yet finished searching a small area, suddenly looked in the direction of the east of the base, as if her gaze could penetrate the walls formed by the forbidden stones and obsidian and see deeper.
Oriana, who was watching the surveillance footage, had already raised her heart to her throat, as if she might pop out at any moment.
Because Elise was looking in the direction of the laboratory area.
Under Oriana's almost desperate gaze, Elise gave up her search for the daily work area and swept straight in the direction of the laboratory area.
Orianna seemed to have seen the two of them have their hearts pierced by Elise, and she said in a trembling voice, "Is there a way to inform my uncle and aunt that they are coming back now?"
Everyone else in the control room shook their heads, their faces full of bitterness and helplessness, and a little pessimistic.
The right hand slammed into a fist on the console, and Oriana's tears fell down her cheeks.
In the lab closest to their daily work area, Caitlin's parents were quickly packing useful drawings and lab results, unaware that Elise was heading for the place.
Caitlin's mother found two broken drawings in a corner, both of which were sketches, without complete design concepts and models, with source plans and unnamed drawings written on them.
She picked up the drawings and handed them to Caitlin's father, saying, "Honey, are you going to take these two sketches with you too?"
Caitlin's father took the drawings suspiciously, looked at them carefully for a while, and said with a complicated expression: "It's a pity, the ideas of these two drawings have not been perfect, so they are still only in the sketch design stage, maybe the two of us are really not young anymore, and our brains can't turn around, take them back to Caitlyn and Oriana, maybe they will be more inspired than the two of us."
Looking at Caitlin's father and putting away the drawings, Caitlin's mother immediately said, "We should go back."
Nodding solemnly, Catelyn's father took Catelyn's mother's hand and walked out of the laboratory quickly.
However, in the next second, a ghostly figure swept from the entrance, looking at the figure of the two preparing to flee.
"You two should be the last prey, right?"
With their backs to the owner of the voice, Caitlin's parents recognized the person as the female demon they had seen on the surveillance screen as soon as they heard the voice.
They subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and their hearts were already extremely nervous.
Turning slowly, Catelyn's father protected Catelyn's mother behind him, and took off his white coat and stuffed it into Catelyn's mother's arms.
"You go!" Determined to die, Caitlyn's father took out a small test tube containing a dark red liquid of unknown liquid.
Catelyn's mother wanted to stay and die with Catelyn's father, but she knew she had to give the drawings and the results of the experiments to Oriana, otherwise what was the point of the two of them taking an adventure?
After thinking about it, although she was very reluctant, she still resolutely fled in the direction of the underground construction site.
Seeing Caitlin's mother leave, Elise did not rush to chase and kill, but curled the corners of her mouth with great interest, looking at the middle-aged man in front of her with a smile.
"Sure enough, there are more than you two survivors in this base, your delay is pointless, don't worry, I will reunite you below soon!"
As Elise's words fell, Catelyn's father fell to the ground in the dark before he could react to what was going on, and he lost his breath.
And the dark red unknown potion he was going to use before fell into Elise's hands and was ruthlessly crushed.
Stunned to see that her right hand was burned by an unknown potion, Elise obviously didn't expect that such a small bottle of potion just now could hurt her god-like body.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, Elise laughed, and her right hand cleared the potion of corrosion from her. However, it also piqued her interest in Piltover Hex's research. Thinking that the middle-aged woman who escaped just now had a lot of magic technology achievements on her, she could take some back to study and study.
Divine thoughts and magic radiated in an instant, reaching in the direction that Catelyn's mother had left, and Elise soon discovered that Catelyn's mother had opened a hidden spiral staircase.
Retracting her thoughts and magic, the corners of her mouth gradually turned into a cold and cruel smile.
