Chapter 481: Mutation Crisis: Serum
"I felt something wasn't quite right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info must have been caused by the food they made me eat. If I'm going to die, I might as well go out and have a big fight with them. I'll pull out that shotgun from the recreation room, and they'll regret what they did to me in the first place.
You get out of here. I love you, Courtney.
Love, Travis."
Tang Tu put down the piece of paper he found and continued to walk forward. Ethan trembled and followed behind Tang Tu.
The space here was even dirtier than the previous house, and if it was a bloody zombie that ran out, Tang Tu even doubted whether this was a real space or the spiritual space of a certain monster. It reminded him of a previous mission related to a mental hospital.
They walked through the morgue or crematorium-like room, killed the two mutant corpses, and continued.
Tang Tu kept an eye on the road ahead while secretly observing Ethan behind him. He noticed that Ethan was wearing a strange watch on his left wrist, which had been showing waveforms, as if it was a device monitoring Ethan's physical condition. Could it be the pharmacopoeia that Zoe said?
Ethan is different from Tang Tu, he can't be touched by those mutated zombies, and he can't touch their blood. He carried many pill bottles with him, and every time he got a drop of blood, he would wash them with the liquid from the bottles.
Ethan loves to search and doesn't miss every corner of the room.
Going around and around, they returned to the hall on the first floor. And the perverted old man followed.
Tang Tu made the old man's head a pile of paste again. It is estimated that it will take some time for him to recover again.
Ethan went to the next room to look for something, and he said he was looking for the key.
Tang Tu found another note: "Dear Mrs. Baker, how are you feeling lately?" It's been a long time since you last came to check. I am writing to tell you that I have checked your X-rays.
The dark areas in your skull appear to be fungal-like structures associated with mold. The hallucinations you mentioned and the noises you heard all the time should have something to do with this.
If your symptoms are due to a fungal parasite, remove them as soon as possible. I didn't mean to scare you, but I was very worried about your health.
Please come to the hospital as soon as you receive this letter. As your doctor, I strongly recommend that you do further investigations.
Crawford Long, General Hospital of Durvi"
Infectious fungal infections? Causes mental illness? The traces of nausea in those rooms are left by these fungi?
Tang Tu guessed that this was probably the reason why Ethan wanted to clean the bloodstains.
I heard the perverted old man's activity again. Tang Tu met him silently, aimed at the head and shot...
Tang Tu always felt that the interval between the old man's resurrection was getting shorter and shorter.
Just like now, not long after the old man was shot in the head, he was talking to himself again in the hallway.
Old man: "I was her father's. But now she's saying she's going to make that guy her dad. No, no, absolutely not. I'm going to find her, I'm going to make him look good. ā
Tang Tu followed the sound and shot him in the head again. Too many headshots have already made Tang Tu feel numb.
During this meeting, Tang Tu found that Ethan was gone.
Tang Tu was a little irritable. He didn't like this kind of perverted, dark, disgusting, psychopathic task, it was too depressing.
However, given that Tang Tu did not have the habit of giving up the task, and he had been in the task for a while anyway, it was better to finish it.
Tang Tu returned to the hall on the first floor and found that the door was actually open. It must have been Ethan's doing, he found the key.
Thinking that Ethan had probably left the house, Tang Tu also came to the courtyard and quietly walked towards the RV next to him.
Ethan was indeed in the RV, and he was looking around again. Tang Tu walked in, picked up the note on the table and looked at it.
"My body is getting weirder. Soon I will be like Mom and Dad. It's all her fault. Should I run away? No, it's not good if it's discovered. The woman who came with her, Mia, knew something. If I had serum, I could heal myself. I'll have to find out. ā
Mia knows the truth? Is the girl with her in the photo the Persian "she" behind the scenes?
Ethan somehow managed to get his hands on a syringe, he shouted that it was serum, and injected himself.
The phone in the car rang, and Ethan ran over to answer it.
Zoe: "You made it. So far, you're the first to do it. ā
Ethan: "So, what do you want me to do?" Is there a way to get out of here? ā
Zoe: "Yes, you have to listen to me, Ethan. My family and I were infected. I can only get out of here after I force it out of my body. The same goes for Mia. ā
Ethan: "Is there a way to force it out?" ā
Zoe: "We need serum. As long as the poisoning is not too deep, it should be able to force this thing out of the body. ā
Ethan: "Well, where is it?" ā
Zoe: "If I knew where it was, I would have looked for it." But I think mom is hiding some, somewhere in the old house. ā
Ethan: "So, if we get this thing, can we save Mia's life and get out of here?" ā
Zoe: "yes, I can too. The old house was built along the water, and you are sure to find it. I just hope you have a way to deal with my mother. Be careful, they'll settle accounts with you. ā
The phone hangs up. Ethan left the RV and still searched everywhere. This time, Tang Tu followed him.
Tang Tu felt that he should remind Ethan of something: "Ethan, do you believe Zoe's words?" She said that the poisoning was not deep, but Mia had been missing for more than three years...
Also, how does the serum come about? It can't be these people who did it themselves, right? If it's a hospital or an institution, then we shouldn't leave here immediately and notify the authorities, so that we can save everyone. ā
Ethan completely ignored Tang Tu and continued his search. He found a door, and when it opened, a drawbridge appeared. It's the suspension bridge that Mia walked across in the video.
Across the drawbridge is the wooden house where Mia used to hide. Now it's even dirtier in this cabin than it was in the videotape.
There is no old woman in the house, but there are many small bats and weird nests. Tang Tu simply activated a flamethrower. I can't remember which quest it was collected from. This time, it was Tang Tu who opened the way in front, and Ethan followed behind to search.
There were a lot of storage rooms and chests here, and Ethan had to search each of them, and he was looking for the so-called serum.
Suddenly, Tang Tu saw Mia, who was separated by an iron gate in front of her. Ethan had already run over.
Mia: "Ethan! ā
Ethan was as calm as he imagined: "Mia, don't talk nonsense, answer my question." ā
Mia: "I know, you're right, and I've always wanted to tell you... It's just that I only remember a little bit, and I forgot all about the rest! ā
Lucas suddenly appeared behind Mia and grabbed her.
Lucas: "Hey, Dad, right?" You don't mind if I say a few words to my mother, do you? Don't stay there, react! ā
Mia: "Ethan, help! ā
Lucas dragged Mia away. Ethan silently watched through the iron door, he couldn't do anything.
Tang Tu could actually shoot, but he felt a little strange. What Mia said, and Ethan's behavior, were strange. As Lucas said, Ethan was too calm.
Tang Tu patted Ethan on the shoulder: "I remember when you fought with Mia before, she was shot and her head was flattened, but now she looks normal... Have you ever wondered what would become of her if she forced that thing out of her body? ā
Ethan still ignored Tang Tu, he silently searched the room and replaced a pistol.
Tang Tu went to open the door of the next room, and was startled by the face of the old woman who suddenly appeared at the door.
The old woman yelled at Tang Tu: "Don't get out of here!" Then the door slammed shut, and a bunch of small bugs popped up from the door.
Tang Tu hurriedly used a flamethrower. After killing the insects, he kicked the door open, and the old woman disappeared again.
In a hallway, an old woman appeared with a lamp. Ethan suddenly grabbed Tang Tu, and he motioned for Tang Tu not to make a sound.
Ethan found a trap, and a passage appeared behind it, the same passage that Mia had walked through.
Tang Tu followed Ethan through the passage. The two went to the attic where Mia was dragged away in the video.
Ethan found the dried corpse of a baby in a suitcase, as well as some medical supplies. One of the pieces of paper reads: "The following items can be used to synthesize serum:1. Series D: cranial nerves; 2.D series: peripheral nerves".
Tang Tu was speechless... Sure enough, it's a bunch of neurotics.
The phone rang in the house. The timing of such a coincidence is definitely not normal.
Ethan picked up the phone.
Zoe: "How's it going?" Did you find the serum? ā
Ethan: "We just dealt with your mom and her pests. Why didn't you remind me earlier. ā
Zoe: "It's my fault. What happened to the serum? ā
Ethan: "I haven't found it yet, but I know what the serum is made of." A D-Series head and an arm. Something doesn't seem right..."
Tang Tu raised his eyebrows, it's very wrong, okay... Actually directly replaced the nerves with objects, which is really a powerful idea.
Zoe: "A head? I think there should be nearby. ā
Ethan: "You have?" ā
Zoe: "Probably, but I don't know where the arms are, have you searched the whole house?" ā
Ethan: "Not yet, I still need to inspect the second floor." ā
Zoe: "Alright, let's go check it out." Once you've found it, meet in the RV. ā
The phone hung up.
Now Ethan was looking for an arm, and Tang Tu had no choice but to continue to follow him in the house.
Tang Tu found a piece of paper: "On October 11, since that child appeared, I had tinnitus all day long, and I couldn't sleep at all. As Zoe said: The kid and the woman who came with her were a little weird.
On October 15th, I saw things and heard sounds, but the nausea never stopped. I went to the town to see a doctor and got an X-ray there. What the hell is wrong with me?
On October 23rd, the child gave me a gift.
October - I put the gift in the back room on the second floor, and no one will find out. That arm represents the child's trust in me. With that arm, a happy future is not far away. Anyone who destroys happiness, I will never spare him. ā
It seems that this person was completely infected by the child in the end, or rather, controlled. Ethan's arm knew the place, though.
Ethan has a map with the location of the back room on the second floor, as well as the child's room.
Tang Tu subconsciously felt that there would be something terrible in the "child's room", so he proposed to go directly to the secret room. However, Ethan said he wanted to know the truth, so they went to the child's room anyway.
As a result, Tang Tu was disappointed, and there was nothing special in the child's room. Then, they came to the secret room.
There was a child's corpse in the chamber, and Ethan stepped forward to take the corpse's arm off. Indeed, this arm is obviously different from the whole of the dried corpse, and it must have been added later.
But, it's disgusting...
Ethan didn't know whether to talk to himself or to Tang Tu: "Oh my God, it should be this..."
A person appeared at the door of the secret room, because the door of the secret room was short, and only the lower half of the other party's body could be seen, which seemed to be a little girl.
As soon as Tang Tu was about to say something, the little girl ran away.
Now that I've got my arm, it's time to go to the RV and meet Zoe.
But just then, the phone in the room rang again.
Zoe: "Did you find something?" ā
Ethan: "Found it." Can this stuff really be used to make serums? ā
Zoe: "Yes. When the serum is ready, we can get out of here. I'll be waiting for you in the motorhome. ā
Tang Tu and Ethan came to the RV, but there was no Zoe here, but the phone rang again.
Ethan: "Where the hell are you?" Forget it, we just need the head, and you've got it. So Mia and I were saved, right? ā
However, this time Lucas's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, buddy! I think you should know that I decided to give Zoe a pause. She and Mia are here to stay with me. They keep each other company. ā
Ethan: "Let them go." What can you do with them? ā
Lucas: "Ethan, it's my family's business, it's none of your business, understand?" Now, if you want it, you can always get it. I can give it to you! But you'll have to attend a little event that I've arranged just for you. ā
Ethan: "What kind of event?" ā
Lucas: "Oh, I know you're excited, but don't worry. We wouldn't be going anywhere else. The first step I need you to do is to check the trailer fridge and see what's inside. ā
Ethan: "You go die." ā
Lucas: "Oh, please, don't do that. You want to have some fun, don't you? Now, open the fridge! ā
The phone hangs up. Ethan began to check the refrigerator. He found a head inside, the head of a mutated monster.
Tang Tu sat at the door waiting, he was not interested in the game, and it was safe in the RV. In fact, he would love to set off a few fires to burn down all these houses, so that it would be a hundred.
