Chapter 9: The Smell of Blood

After listening to Shennong's words silently, Zhu Rong's expression hidden in the dark became a little stiff.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Rong suddenly exhaled a breath of turbidity, as if he had figured out something, nodded and said, "Hmm......... There is some truth to what you say. In that case, let's get out of here. ”

After that, without waiting for Shennong to respond, Zhu Rong had already raised his right hand and put it on Shennong's shoulder.

With the lesson of stepping on Dr. Liao before, in the process of this sneak, Shennong became more and more careful, almost every step he took, he would kick out his toes first, and gently touch forward, for fear of stepping on something lying on the ground without making a sound.

Let's say, for example, a researcher who is resting.

As a result, the speed of the two of them slowed down again.

It's just that if you lose everything, you will gain something.

At this moment, Shennong and Zhu Rong had been sneaking in Area C for almost fifteen minutes. In this period of time, which is not long or short, these two people are like ghosts, not only quietly and silently passing through the 'Pharmaceutical Research Institute' that is scattered all over the place, but also unknowingly, passing out of the 'Weapons Development Department' where there is almost nowhere to stand.

After passing the two research institutes, the two of them followed the planned route, and now they have walked to the entrance of the 'Biochemical R&D Department' in the dark.

"It's here!"

Shennong touched the door with his hand and muttered in a low voice, and then the two of them covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and stepped into the biochemical development department one after the other.

After about five minutes, the two of them rushed out of the unique experimental gas entrenched in the 'Biochemical R&D Department'.

At this moment, there was only one 'Alien Beast Research Institute' left in front of them.

According to the structural diagram provided by Kobayashi, as long as you pass through the 'Alien Beast Research Institute', you can reach the border between Area C and Area B.

Beyond the border, you will find Zone B.

"We can! We can do it! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Shennong took a few deep breaths quickly, and after slowing down his beating heart through breathing, he stroked the cold with his hand and set off again.

Turn around, then go straight to the end of the road, and turn again.........

In the end, according to the route in their memory, Shennong and the two slowly touched the door of the 'Alien Beast Research Institute'.

I vaguely remember that Kobayashi once said that this 'Alien Beast Research Institute' is the most dangerous place in Area C.

The danger lies not in the fact that the scientific research personnel stationed in the institute are so strong in combat, nor because of how defenseless the organs deployed in the institute are, but because of the .......... Because in the depths of the 'Alien Beast Research Institute', researchers have cultivated a group of terrifying creatures with strange appearances, brutal nature, and strong aggression.

When Xiao Lin and Shennong said this, Shennong still thought that Xiao Lin was just an ordinary spy who had used some unknown means to infiltrate the underground base.

However, now it seems that Xiao Lin is not only a spy, but also a scarred person.

Could the creature that can make the Scar feel dangerous is an embroidered pillow?

Apparently not.

Thinking of this, Shennong shuddered, but ......... According to the structural diagram, there is only one road to Area B, so no matter what, you still have to go.

"Whew!"

Shennong let out a breath, took the opportunity to drive these bad thoughts out of his head, and immediately took a big step and walked into the Alien Beast Research Institute with Zhu Rong.

Perhaps, it is because the researchers of the Alien Beast Research Institute have always been silent. Perhaps, it's because the researchers here have long been shouting dumb.

All in all, when Shennong and the others stepped into this Alien Beast Research Institute, they suddenly felt an atmosphere completely different from other research institutes in Area B.

Quiet.

It's so quiet here.

It can be said that it is a deathly silence.

In this environment, the two of them didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear that the slightest sound would attract the attention of the researchers in the Alien Beast Research Institute.

Bang.

Just as the two of them were tiptoeing around like thieves, there was a crisp sound of a bottle falling to the ground and shattering in a certain direction in the Alien Beast Research Institute.

In this quiet and terrifying environment, they suddenly heard this harsh voice, although the two of them knew that this sound did not arise because of them, and their hearts seemed to be held tightly by an invisible hand, and they contracted violently, not daring to rush forward any longer.

At this time, the two of them stood there and listened for a long time, as if petrified, until they were sure that the crisp explosion sound did not attract anything bad, and their high hearts slowly put down.

At the same time, Shennong swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, forced himself to calm his mind, and took another step forward.

With the passage of time, the two have now gone deeper and deeper.

According to Shennong's calculations, there is no mistake, then they have now reached the center of the Alien Beast Research Institute.

Surprisingly, they didn't meet any of them along the way, and they belonged to the researchers of the Alien Beast Research Institute.

This situation, although extremely beneficial to the two, inevitably confuses the two.

Although the three institutes in the previous route have their own characteristics, they all have one thing in common - each institute is crowded with its own researchers. Although the base was paralyzed and out of control, those researchers still stuck to their duties, stayed where they were, and waited silently, never leaving their research institute for half a step.

However, this is not the case in the Alien Beast Research Institute, which seems to be really empty.

So, here's the problem.

Where have the researchers who used to conduct experiments here gone?

Just when Shennong Rusi was thinking, he vaguely smelled a very strange fishy smell, trembled in his heart, and subconsciously stopped.

Sensing Shennong's movements, Zhu Rong also stopped, and used his hand as a pen to write on Shennong's back, "What's wrong?" ”

Shennong didn't answer immediately, only frowned, explored the way with his hands, and slowly walked to the edge of a wall of the Alien Beast Research Institute with Zhu Rong, this time gently squeezing out his voice, "Ahead, there is a very strange smell, it seems to be, blood.......... Well, here......... It seems that there is, too. ”

As he spoke, Shennong's hands were pressed against the wall beside him and he began to grope.

Suddenly, one of the fingers in his right hand seemed to touch some kind of liquid, and it felt sticky and thick, and it was extremely nauseous.

Shennong endured this nausea and drove his fingers to press down vigorously until he was sure that his fingers had stuck to the viscous liquid, and then brought his fingers to the tip of his nose.

Sniff hard.

"It's blood!"

Suddenly, Shennong affirmed: "This is the smell of blood, I won't admit it." Over here......... Something happened! After that, Shennong couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly took out a flashlight from his pocket.

With a "click", a soft muddy yellow light poured out of the glass cover.

Immediately after, as Shennong's arm swept left and right, this muddy yellow light also began to move, slowly illuminating everything in the Alien Beast Research Institute.

The scattered tabletop, the research table that had been broken in half, and the blood-stained walls were the first to break into the eyes of the two.

When Shennong saw this, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva, "Sure enough!" The researchers at the Beast Research Institute have been attacked! ”

"Just ......"

Shennong looked around and said suspiciously: "Even if the base system is paralyzed and all kinds of defenses cannot be used, at least there is still a group of people in Area B!" Who has such a great ability to cross Area B and destroy this research institute without realizing it! ”

"That's not right! Wrong! ”

Shennong seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed greatly, "Zhu Rong...... It's a big game. Fast! Come with me! As soon as the words fell, Shennong ran away.

Seeing this, Zhu Rong can be said to be the second monk of Zhang, who is confused.

But seeing Shennong's hurried expression, Zhu Rong also felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart, and immediately mustered up his strength and followed Shennong closely.

At this moment, there was a flashlight to illuminate, and the two of them no longer suppressed their speed, and after a while, they ran to the second half of the Alien Beast Research Institute.

Shennong had seen the structural diagram of the underground base and knew that there was a separate storage room in the second half of the Alien Beast Research Institute.

This storage room is not used to store daily supplies, but to store exotic beasts for research.

Therefore, in normal times, except for scientific researchers to retrieve foreign beasts, this storage room is surrounded by millions of volts of electricity 24 hours a day, in case the strange beasts inside break the walls and run out to make trouble.

But now, when Shennong hurried to the storage room, he only saw that the wall of the storage room was like a paper with a big hole, and through the big hole he looked into the storage room, not to mention the strange beasts, not even a ghost.

Shennongleng was on the spot, as if he couldn't accept this fact, and said in a trembling voice: "That's right...... System crash...... The power grid will naturally dissipate...... The beast took the opportunity to get out of trouble...... It's me...... Hurt them? ”

Zhu Rong rushed over, and when he saw this scene, he was puzzled, but when he heard Shennong say this, he immediately understood.

"Shennong, don't overestimate yourself too much." Zhu Rong walked over and patted Shennong on the shoulder, "Perhaps, even if you don't have the idea of escaping the base, the base will also be attacked." With you and without you, things like this can happen......"

"What's more, now is not the time for remorse."

As he spoke, Zhu Rong snatched the flashlight from Shennong's hand and took a look around the storage room, "You said, the beast has broken free from its cage and entered the water like a fish, but we can't even see one of them along the way...... And, although the lab was covered in blood, we didn't see a single corpse. ”

"That means ......"

Hearing this, Shennong raised his head violently, and his dark eyes shone brightly, "The researchers in the Alien Beast Research Institute are not dead yet!" They just fled from here! ”

"If that's the case......"

Shennong turned around violently, looked at the dark front, and said with a burning voice: "They who are being chased and killed by strange beasts, in order to survive, in order not to implicate others, there is only one way to go!" ”
