Chapter 45: The Base Accident
"What is this?"
Claire looked at Colonel Seaton, who was holding the trench coat, and couldn't help but ask.
"This is a special material trench coat that we have recently developed from our Brazilian mercenary laboratory, which is very durable, fire-resistant, waterproof, tough and difficult to tear. At present, the research and development time of the research institute is too short for these functions, but this trench coat should have no problem coping with the combat in the fighting arena. β
Colonel Seaton replied faintly, as if it weren't him who gave Claire clothes.
Claire took the garment from Colonel Seaton's hand with a blank expression, and unceremoniously put it on her body.
This trench coat seems to be tailor-made for Claire, not big, not too small, not long or short, although the color is a little ugly, but at least the dress fits.
Claire nodded in satisfaction, and after seeing Colonel Seaton go about something else, Claire knew that there was nothing left for her here, and turned to leave.
However, when she walked to the door, Claire faintly heard Clark's muttering while sorting out the information:
"The Colonel is so stingy, even the reward is the same dress we didn't wear a year ago, alas."
When Claire heard this, she staggered and quickly left the small building as if she was injured.

Day 2
After the daily morning exercise, Claire wiped her sweat, put on the trench coat and rushed to the base camp. He wasn't desperate to understand what the stone did. He just thought that instead of wandering dangerously around the streets, he might as well go there and find some surprises (in fact, he would see if there were any other clothes to change)
Coming to the small building with ease, Claire pushed open the door and walked straight in.
He figured it out, Colonel Seaton, the old fox, couldn't not be fully armed with his lair, as for how to arm it, Claire didn't bother to think about it anymore, anyway, even if this place was attacked by terrorists, he would be fine, and that kind of thing should be dealt with by the boss who lives here.
This time when I entered the door, the large conference table was empty, compared to the lively scene of breakfast yesterday, it was obviously much more deserted today, it is estimated that the three of them hid breakfast and waited for Claire to leave before eating.
Not only was there nothing at the conference table, but there was no one in the spacious hall.
Looking at this scene, Claire frowned, and slowly walked towards the laboratory.
Soon, Claire discovered the anomaly, usually even if the metal warhead is being made in the laboratory, the door is basically closed, but now not only the laboratory is closed, but even the mercenary living area is closed.
Feeling that something was wrong, Claire didn't easily open the door of the laboratory, this door was a metal door made of different alloys, usually, this metal door was open, Claire often saw some researchers in white coats walking in and out, but when they entered and exited the door, they had to use their pupils to look at a device next to the door, and then enter and exit. Claire reckoned it was an iris lock, and it was clear that the researchers weren't doing it to pretend.
Claire thought for a moment, then slowly approached the door, and after a moment of closer inspection, Claire noticed that the so-called iris lock screen was not glowing. So, this metal gate ........
Thinking of this, Claire did not hesitate to press her hand against the metal gate, and then pressed her hands together.
"Squeak!" An unpleasant sound of metal grinding came from the door as it gradually opened.
Claire, who found that the door could be opened, suddenly gritted her teeth and increased her strength, only to see that the green tendons on Claire's head burst out, and her slightly trembling hands also showed that Claire had used all her strength at this time.
Finally, after the door was opened half a meter wide, Claire let go, and a sideways figure slipped straight through the crack in the door.
"Boom!!" The crack in the door, which was still half a meter wide, closed in an instant, as if someone was pushing the door to close at the base of the gate.
Claire was half-kneeling on the ground, panting slightly, and that's when he saw the scene inside the laboratory.
All the lights in the lab were turned off, but a rectangular platform shimmered with purple light, illuminating what should have been a dark space.
The purple light made people dizzy after looking at it for a long time, and Claire finally shifted her gaze to look at other places in the laboratory, but this look made Claire's original heart nervous.
I saw many researchers in white coats lying on the ground, motionless, as if they were corpses.
Claire rose from the ground and, after making sure there was no threat, slowly moved to the nearest researcher.
Reaching out and patting the researcher lying on the ground, after finding that he was unresponsive, Claire squinted her eyes and turned the body of the lying researcher directly over with a force of her hand.
Even though Claire is much more courageous than ordinary as an agent, she still feels a little frightened when she sees the positive image of this researcher.
The researcher's facial features were distorted, and there were no pupils in his wide eye sockets, and the dried fluid on the sockets combined with his black holes, making one wonder if the fluid was the original eyeball.
Constantly turning over these corpses, the death is worse than the other, and some of the corpses even have burn marks on them, but one of the characteristics they have in common is that they should have been frightened before they died, causing the expressions of these corpses to be extremely distorted.
Claire took a deep breath and stood up from the last corpse, the only good news was that there was no boss or colleague among these corpses, otherwise Claire would have been transferred to another department.
Fruitless, Claire Mo, with her smooth chin, looked at the only source of light in the confined space. If anything, Claire hadn't found any other anomalous items from her surroundings other than that.
Grabbing a lying corpse on the ground and blocking it in front of her, Claire slowly approached the strange light source.
Ten meters, nine meters.......... Five meters, three meters.........
Just as Claire was about to stretch her neck to see what this thing looked like, suddenly, a purple flame burst out from the light source and pounced on Claire.
Before she had time to think about it, Claire, who was about to be attacked, quickly lifted the human shield in her hand and tried her best to block her whole body.
Big brother, don't blame me, anyway, you're already hanging, so let's make a contribution to the body you stay.
Claire thought silently, but the strength in her hand refused to relax at all.
Fortunately, the flame did not last long, and after only a second or two, it seemed to extinguish itself as if it had lost fuel.
After discovering that the purple flame had stopped, Claire breathed a sigh of relief, threw the burned corpse beyond recognition, and then walked straight to the rectangular platform.
After seeing the light source, Claire confirmed her previous conjecture.
This glowing item is none other than - a black hedron!
