16. Winter Soldier
Behind the door was an equally long walkway, surprisingly quiet.
Except for the guards in front of the first two gates, when they entered the interior, there was no one left.
Zhou Zhou is an intricate passage, and Wu Tong feels that the name of the hive must be based on the complex lines here.
Lucy opened the digital map in her hand and walked to the place marked with the red line.
"It looks like there's no one here? It's not the same as I imagined. Wu Tong said. I thought there was a big war. ”
"This is where the hive mainly conducts experimental research, and even in normal times, it is rare to see people in the passages, and most of these crazy researchers stay in the laboratory."
Wu Tongxin said that these people who are engaged in research are quite dedicated.
Finally, Lucy stopped at a door, she took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
Wu Tong followed her in.
Inside the room are large quartz glass containers, which occupy most of the space in this huge room, and the rest of the space is occupied by some instruments.
From time to time, bubbles bubbled in the glass container, and it was filled with strange pieces of meat, some about the size of half a man's body, some the size of a football.
For a moment, Wu Tong thought that he was in the biology laboratory of a certain high school, and the formalin was soaked in various human organs.
But there is usually not so much equipment in the school's biology lab.
"These are the embryos that are genetically induced to mutate." Lucy said lightly, looking unsurprised.
"Some of them are still alive, and researchers think that some of them are still useful, so they are stacked here."
"Are you sure these things still have value and can count as ...... Embryo? Wu Tong pointed to one of the quartz glasses and said.
Inside was a fully developed baby, about the size of a 1-year-old, with some hair on its head.
His eyes were closed, and his heart was beating regularly.
Except for the development of a complete head, all the bones, skin, and flesh below his body were nothing, and those internal organs fluttered gently in the container, like a far-reaching totem of some cult worship.
Wu Tong was sick to his stomach for a while.
"None of these things should technically be considered embryos, some of them are seven or eight years old."
"Looks like your researchers should have a good appetite." Wu Tong teased.
Lucy didn't answer and went straight to the depths of the room.
The further you went, the larger the contents of the quartz glass became, some of them larger than the size of an adult's body, they were deformed and twisted pieces of flesh, and some of them even had dense tentacles on them.
Lucy walked to the innermost part and opened the secret door in the wall.
Pushing open the door, Lucy was stunned, there was nothing in it, no Aita, no guards, not even the instruments used for the experiment.
Wu Tong looked over and understood what was going on, thinking that Aita had been transferred by the hive.
Lucy should have guessed that the other party would not make two mistakes in the same position.
"Maybe we should ask their guards where they transferred Aita." Wu Tong said.
"Headquarters, there is only one place, Aita has been transferred to the headquarters of the Hive."
"Then we should head to headquarters."
"But I don't know where the headquarters is." Lucy crouched down and said, "Nobody knows. It was as if she had changed back to the helpless little girl in an instant.
"We can ......" Wu Tong turned around suddenly, he heard the sound of rustling in the dark, there were no rats in this kind of place.
His whole body tensed and became vigilant, now that his body had been strengthened by the Venom Alteration, as long as he controlled it properly, he should be able to complete some battles without alerting the Venom.
The voices grew louder, and it was clear that Lucy had heard them, but she had completely lost her fighting spirit.
"Hey! I said, you should cheer up now, at least we got a good news, Aita has been transferred to HQ, and now we have direction. ”
Lucy remained silent.
Out of the darkness crawled a large lump of flesh that had been hiding on the other side of the room, a large quartz container hidden from its form.
Wu Tong paused for a moment, this should be some experimental subject that has broken through the container, but how big a container does it need to be to hold it.
Wu Tong took a step forward, and then he jerked to the side, and a tentacle suddenly appeared from the monster's body and shot at his position.
The hard floor had been made a small hole by the tentacle.
Wu Tong broke out in a cold sweat, if he poked it on his body this time, it would not be a big hole.
His eyes were wandering, it was impossible to be tough, and no matter what, he had no intention of fighting this monster hand-to-hand.
It looks like that huge pile of body is full of fat, and it can definitely burn effectively.
But he didn't find anything like medical alcohol in the room.
It's just that there are quite a few jars in those containers connected to quartz glass, and although these test subjects are strangely shaped, they are still human in nature, and since they are human, they are bound to need oxygen.
If the guess is correct, it should be a lot of oxygen.
In this way, the conditions for combustion are met.
Wu Tong pushed Lucy through the secret door and locked it from the outside.
This door is extremely heavy, and when it was first designed, there was no program that could be opened from the inside, and it was originally used to imprison monsters.
Now, no amount of explosion or burning would hurt Lucy behind the door.
Wu Tong violently moved towards the oxygen tank at high speed.
"Bang!" A tentacle stood in his way, and no matter where he wanted to go, the monster didn't seem to intend to let him go.
The lump of flesh opened its large, mouth full of sharp teeth and roared silently, as if he hadn't developed vocal cords or anything like that.
With a roar, the flesh around it shook violently, and a large number of tentacles emerged.
Wu Tong kicked the ground violently under his feet, jumped up and crossed the place where the tentacle attacked, and then the second tentacle struck with the sound of breaking wind, Wu Tong tilted his head back, and also dodged the past.
Tentacles passed in front of his eyes, and he could even see the slime on it.
It seems that even without the help of Venom, his combat effectiveness now far exceeds that of ordinary people, that is to say, the plan of fire attack is dramatic.
He was a little annoyed that he hadn't picked up a dagger from Lucy Zhao just now, so that he might be able to cut off these annoying tentacles.
Wu Tong dodged all the way and finally reached the area around the oxygen tank, and the next thing was to think about how to throw it into the monster's mouth.
The explosion caused in its body was enough to tear it to pieces.
"Poof......" Wu Tong suddenly paused, he lowered his head to look at his chest, and a tentacle penetrated his body from behind.
The tentacles snapped back, and a large amount of blood splattered out.
Damn, it was going to be over right away, but I didn't expect it to capsize in the gutter at the last minute.
The pain made the corners of Wu Tong's eyes twitch slightly, he turned around, and another tentacle flew out towards him, piercing his abdomen again.
He opened his mouth and breathed heavily, his lungs as the tentacles pierced his chest.
Several broken ribs also barbed into his lungs, and the lack of oxygen blurred his consciousness.
"Hey, hey......" came a hoarse laugh in the darkness.
Then Wu Tong completely lost consciousness, and the blood flowing from the wound on his body actually began to slowly turn black.
The black fluid did not drip to the ground, but quickly covered it along Wu Tong's body.
The piece of flesh shot out of the tentacle again, and was grabbed by Wu Tong's one hand, and the fluid spread towards Wu Tong's head.
The blow missed, and the piece of flesh continued to eject the tentacles, bringing a sharp sound of breaking wind.
Wu Tong grabbed those tentacles, and at this time, the liquid wrapped his whole body inside.
Venom opened its large, toothy mouth and bit off the tentacles, and he took a step forward.
The pieces of flesh shoot back with more tentacles.
With a piercing roar, the two monsters slammed into each other.

Source Biotechnology Center
Dr. Lacey made a cup of coffee and sat back in his chair, continuing to look intently at the research materials in his hand.
He suddenly heard a noise next to him, at this point in time, he should be the only one in the office.
The doctor looked up in confusion, and a bald man with glasses had been sitting there for some time, also holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Who are you? Who allowed you in! Lacey exclaimed.
"Hey! Hey! Don't get excited, doctor, we just want to pay you a visit! ”
"If you're going to visit, you should knock before you come in!"
"We would like to share resources with your research, Ph.D., and if you can, we would like to invite you to join us in our program."
"Is that how you usually invite people?" The doctor pointed to a man standing behind the bald man.
Appears to be a warrior, his left hand glows with metal, presumably a mechanical arm.
Dressed in a strong suit, with long hair, and wearing a mask, it makes people unable to see their faces clearly.
Motionless, like a mechanical soldier.
"Oh." The bald man smiled, "It's just a preparation for the unexpected." ”
"If you want to find a resource sharing, you should talk to the senior management of the research center, I am just a small researcher."
"I'm Agent Sitwell of S.H.I.E.L.D., and this is a highly classified mission, and we can only contact you." The bald man said, showing his ID.
"I said you should talk to the top of the research center."
"Alright, alright," the bald man said, waving his hand.
The mechanical arm warrior who had been standing behind him stepped forward.
"What do you want to do!" The Doctor shouted.
The warrior punched the doctor in the back of the head, crisply.
Then he took out the USB flash drive in his hand and copied the data in the computer.
