Chapter 140: Four Gatekeepers
Ten minutes later, Phoenix and the others appeared together in front of the dilapidated warehouse in the backyard of the hospital.
Lori looked around and said with a skeptical expression: "This warehouse looks dilapidated, it doesn't look like a laboratory." ”
"If it's not the end, just go in and see?
We've all found it anyway, and it's not too much time coming. ”
Phoenix looked at Lori and said lightly.
"That's right!"
Lori thought about it, muttered, and then took the lead into the dilapidated warehouse in front of her.
The moment I opened the warehouse, an indescribably pungent smell hit my face. The ground was covered with yellow-green liquid, and the original color of the ground was not visible at all.
The warehouse was so quiet that no sound could be heard except for the breathing of Phoenix and the others.
The most striking thing is that there is a blood flow formation on the floor of the warehouse, which starts from the door of the warehouse and continues to the middle of the warehouse.
"Looks like this location should be some secret door, and the lab is hidden behind the secret door."
Scarlett said as she fumbled where the blood had disappeared.
Watching Scarlett's movements, Lori also squatted down, stretched out her hands to the floor, and closed her eyes to sense something.
"It's empty down here, there should be a door here, everyone looks around to see if there are any control switches nearby."
After a while, Scarlett stood up and spoke to the crowd.
"Don't bother, I've found it."
And at this time, Lori's voice also came: "It's just that I have a problem."
According to the mission, we only need to survive within the hospital for 168 hours to complete the mission, and now that the pathogens in the hospital have been locked up in the laboratory, we just need to lock this place down, so why do we need to enter the laboratory to find them? ”
"Have you forgotten what our purpose was for entering the dungeon?"
Scarlett looked at Lori and said with a smile, "The reason why we entered the simulation copy is not to complete the copy as much as possible.
Rather, it is to hone oneself through various quest plots and gatekeepers in the dungeon, and improve one's coping ability and one's own strength.
Yes, if we are now entering a copy of a mission released by the system, locking the lab is naturally the most correct choice.
But if we want to hone our strength, we must enter the laboratory to fight the pathogens and kill them, so as to improve our actual combat experience. ”
"Oh!"
Hearing this, Lori's expression immediately became depressed, and she stopped talking after a simple answer.
"Okay, do you think this girl doesn't understand herself? She just thought she was confused and wanted to fool the past like this.
Don't forget, she said that those who didn't pass the dungeon would enter the special martial arts training ground set up by GM for training, and she was planning for the future. ”
The royal sister stepped forward and patted Lori: "Don't hurry up, isn't your skill machine heart just right to open and control all kinds of equipment in the laboratory?"
Still hands-on? What are you doing stunned? ”
Lori glanced at the royal sister, reluctantly squatted down again, and stretched out her right hand to stick to the ground.
A moment later.
"Whew!"
With a soft sound, a metal door with wooden planks on the surface slowly opened before everyone's eyes, revealing a staircase that could only be passed through by a single person.
The staircase carried a blood-colored imprint that led to the depths of the earth.
Phoenix looked down the stairs and whispered, "I'll go ahead, Scarlett last."
I don't know why, but I always feel like we're ignoring something, and we're all going to be careful, just in case. ”
After saying that, the phoenix unfolded the electromagnetic barrier and took the lead towards the ground......
The group walked for about ten minutes, about 300 meters underground, and finally walked out of the staircase and entered the laboratory area.
Unlike the dilapidated scene of the hospital outside, the laboratory area is much more upscale.
If I had to make a comparison, only the hive's experimental area could rival it.
The only thing the lab area was the pungent smell of blood and the trail of blood on the ground.
The bloodstains trailed down the aisle through three or four separate labs, eventually stopping in front of a heavy metal door.
The phoenix reached out and knocked on the door, which was made of alloy, thick and strong.
"Our goal...... Probably right behind here. ”
"Bump!"
Suddenly, a loud crash came from a distance.
Phoenix was stunned.
"Boom!"
As if in response to the loud bang just now, a loud crash was heard from behind the metal door.
The impact was so strong that it shook violently even to the ground.
"What's going on?
Isn't there only one pathogen, and everyone else is already dead? Why is there the sound of creature crashing in both places? ”
Boseman watched his surroundings vigilantly and whispered.
"It seems that there should be something else here besides the pathogen of 'infection'."
Scarlett looked carefully at the surrounding laboratories and said pointedly.
"What do you mean?" Lori looked at Scarlett suspiciously.
"Isn't that obvious?"
The royal sister glanced at Lori and said angrily: "Look at the surrounding environment, there are at least more than ten different laboratories in this corridor.
Although the equipment is different in each laboratory, each laboratory has a bed that can hold the human body in place. Obviously, human trials are being done here, and it is quite possible that live human trials are being conducted. ”
Speaking of this, the Royal Sister paused and continued: "I have always wondered before, with the dilapidated level of the Cijian General Hospital, it is already very good not to declare bankruptcy, how can it be possible to build so many advanced biological laboratories?
Now it seems that these laboratories do not belong to them at all, but have been discovered and used by them by accident.
I even suspect that the original infected person was simply a staff member of this laboratory or a human test subject, because some kind of accident in the laboratory caused everyone here to die, which gave him the opportunity to leave this place and be sent to the nearest Ci Yu General Hospital as a patient. ”
"Perhaps...... There is another possibility. ”
At this time, Olsen, who had not made a sound, suddenly said, "Have you forgotten? This is a large replica. ”
"What do you mean?"
After Olsen's reminder, Phoenix also came to his senses, and said with an ugly face: "Are the gatekeepers of other missions locked up here?" ”
Olsen didn't speak, but her expression said it all.
"What do you mean?"
Boseman looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, and asked puzzled.
"Let's let Sister Phoenix explain."
Olsen glanced at the phoenix and stepped aside honestly.
Phoenix thought for a moment and organized the language: "This copy is a large copy, we have all overlooked one point before, the tasks assigned to each team in the first stage are randomly selected.
Although we were the only team involved in this dungeon, all the other quests were also distributed, but no one completed them. ”
Phoenix looked at the surrounding laboratories and said with a wry smile: "According to the current situation, this laboratory does not belong to Cijian General Hospital, and it was indeed used for human experiments at first, but it was later abandoned for some reasons.
Akai and the others must have discovered this place by accident, so they occupied it privately for experimental research.
The original infected person should have nothing to do with this laboratory, he was simply infected with some unknown new virus and was accidentally sent to Ci Khao General Hospital for treatment.
The reason why there are two biological crashes is because this underground laboratory is also the site of a mission.
There are not only gatekeepers for our mission, but also gatekeepers for the mission of the laboratory itself, and other creatures. ”
"What do you mean...... Are we facing the gatekeepers of two tasks at the same time? And kill them? ”
At this time, Lori also reacted and said with a shocked face.
"That's it, now the problem we face is that we don't know what the original mission is in the lab? How many gatekeepers are there? ”
Phoenix glanced at Lori and said affirmatively.
"I'll take care of that."
Olson pointed to the surveillance cameras of several other experiments: "Since these laboratories are equipped with monitoring systems, then the other rooms must also have them, and I can integrate my own data into the monitoring system to see where these special creatures are still being held in the entire laboratory." ”
As he spoke, Olsen's hands turned into virtual form, extending to connect to the nearest security camera.
Moments later......
Olsen withdrew his hands and said to the group, "Follow me, I found the main control room in the lab. ”
Five minutes later, everyone came to a place similar to the monitoring room, and Lori used the skills of the mechanical heart to easily open the door.
There are a total of 42 monitoring displays in the main control room.
Olsen said as he quickly tapped on the keyboard, "There are a total of thirty-six basic laboratories and six special isolation rooms in this huge experimental area, and now there are a total of four isolation rooms where special life is kept. ”
As Olsen tapped as he continued to tap, half of the forty-two monitors came back on.
"Look here!"
Olsen pointed to one of the monitors near the corner and whispered, "Of the four isolation chambers with special beings, only this one remains humanoid and has green liquid all over the laboratory, she should be the gatekeeper of our mission." ”
Hearing this, everyone focused their eyes on this screen.
The room on the screen is not big, only forty square meters, and there is a beautiful woman locked up in the room.
The woman's appearance is no different from that of ordinary people, except that her whole body is constantly flowing out of dark green liquid.
She lay on the bed in a daze, staring at the ceiling with an indifferent expression, and seemed unusually quiet.
"And these, they are obviously the original gatekeepers of this laboratory."
As he spoke, Olsen gestured to the other three living isolation cells.
When everyone looked at the other three displays, they all gasped.
These isolation chambers are basically the same size, all around 40 square meters. At this time, there is an ugly-looking monster in each of the three isolation rooms.
The monsters in these three isolation chambers are not the same.
The monster in the first locked room can vaguely reveal its human form, but its skin is grayish-white and covered with rather exaggerated muscles.
Its limbs were more than twenty centimeters in diameter, and it had four exaggerated claws, which were irritable and strung around the isolation room, occasionally raising their claws to scratch at the alloy walls, leaving deep scratches on them.
The monster in the second isolation chamber looked much more disgusting, with an oval head with no eyes or ears, no hair on its body, and a viscous, colorless liquid all over it. It has six fingers on both hands, stands on its hind legs, and also has a tail that is more than two meters long.
The most shocking thing is that the colorless liquid covering the surface of this monster's body seems to be extremely corrosive, and the metal door of the isolation chamber has been corroded by most of it, and I am afraid that it will not be long before it will get out.
As for the third isolation room...... Probably the most normal creature locked up in these three isolation rooms, at least Phoenix and the others can call its name - spider!
That's right, spiders.
This is a giant spider that is more than ten meters long and more than two meters tall! The dark yellow spider shell shimmered with metallic light, and the eight sharp spider legs full of barbs would probably exceed two meters if they were straightened.
At this time, the isolation chamber where it was held had been attacked by it with its sharp spider legs, and if it weren't for its size, it might have escaped from the isolation chamber by now.
"Now you are silent, you are the deputy commander, and we are all under your command."
Scarlett suddenly looked at the phoenix, and said with a light smile: "Deputy head of the regiment, come up with a plan, how do we do it?" ”
Phoenix was stunned for a moment, and then she saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her.
She let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "I know that you will only think of me when you need bad people." ”
"Because our main purpose this time is to improve our experience, and this effect can only be achieved if it is dangerous enough.
So I decided...... We divided our forces into four directions and attacked these guards at the same time. ”
Speaking of this, Phoenix unconsciously glanced at Lori and Olsen before continuing: "I am in a group with Bosman, responsible for the pathogen of this mission.
The Royal Sister is in a group with Scarlett and is in charge of the monsters in the first isolation room.
Lori, the monster in charge of the second isolation room.
Olsen, the monster in charge of the second isolation room.
Is there a problem? ”
"Yes!"
"I have a problem!"
After listening to Phoenix's grouping arrangement, Lori and Olsen jumped out instantly.
But before they could speak, the other four had already disappeared into place, heading for their respective gatekeepers......
