Chapter 483: Deadly Cycle (I)
When Gubin tried to use Valred's Touch to traverse the walls and gates of the Innovation Base, he failed.
The building materials and structures used in this underground base are unprecedented for Gu Bin, and according to his own understanding, "Valred" is to some extent a ghostly killing machine formed by breaking down the subject into nano-sized particles and keeping it intact through the subject's consciousness.
So it's not really a spirit - at least compared to the mysterious ghosts and ghosts, Valred is acceptable and understandable.
Thankfully, even if Gu Bin couldn't rely on Valred to cross the obstacles, he was still able to open those closed doors.
For this kind of creation with mechanical structure and mechanical elements, Gu Bin's "mind domination" really has a place.
When the green living element did not enter these gates, Gu Bin successfully gained control of these gates, but as a price, his mental and physical consumption were extremely serious, which even forced him to give up half of the control of killing crows, otherwise the continuous operation of the light screen was enough to make him faint on the spot.
He found that the people in the innovation base were actually alive, but everyone fell into a coma to varying degrees, and from their bodies, Gu Bin obtained several identity cards.
"Innovation Base Work Card: Collectible, Name: Ye Xinxing, Material: Unknown, Value Unknown, This item can be brought out of the dungeon, collecting a certain number of items of this type may trigger special missions...... Its owner seems to have lost his soul, but that doesn't affect its original function, and with it, you can move freely around the area where you have permissions. ”
"After testing, the item and the 'faculty card' will have a linkage effect."
After throwing out the "unreliable identification technique", Gu Bin looked at the information that appeared in front of him and hesitated.
The prop of the "faculty card", he once disposed of it as garbage, but for the sake of taking up a small space and being a souvenir, he finally kept these from the "Battle Royale" copy he first experienced at that time, but he didn't expect to be able to see it play a role in this situation.
What frightened Gu Bin was not this depressing scene, but the sentence "Its owner seems to have lost his soul" read from the information on the work card.
He stopped, raised his hand and threw a "mind dominator" living element at the unconscious staff member next to him.
After being hit by the mind domination, the person staggered to his feet, but at the same time as it stood up, Gu Bin noticed that something was wrong, the other party was standing like a corpse that had lost its life, his shoulders and body were collapsed, as if there were no bones in his body, and his hands were hanging heavily on his sides, and he was swaying from side to side there.
"Name."
Gu Bin tried to order.
The controlled staff stood there stunned, although his eyes were open, but he didn't have the slightest look, and he couldn't even show "sluggishness", giving people a lifeless feeling.
"Raise your hand."
Gu Bin ordered again.
The other party still didn't respond, just stood there quietly.
Gu Bin gave three different instructions in one breath, but they didn't have the slightest effect, he frustrated and shook his hand to cancel the skill effect, helped the staff member, and let him lie back to his original place.
"They don't respond to the command of mind domination, but they can still be controlled, which means that they are still alive, but they can't respond to mind domination as a living thing, which means that in this case, Gu Bin only controls their "body", and their mind is blocked by the living element for some reason, so it becomes like this.
Most of the equipment in the innovation base had ceased to function, but a small number of them had stopped at the last moment before evacuation, when Gu Bin saw a screen flashing with a red level 4 warning sign and a countdown timer.
“4:57。”
Next to it, there is a schematic diagram of the base, some of which have turned red, and they are constantly flashing.
"It's a countdown again!"
Gu Bin scolded, but in the next second, he saw an even worse number.
That's the time it's shown in the bottom right corner of the screen.
That familiar "23:59" almost made him want to scold his mother.
The time here stood still at the last second before zero o'clock, but the countdown was still beating really, judging from the performance of the innovation base, the level 4 disaster was likely to be a blow that could not be avoided in the underground base, Gu Bin's face became very bad, this was simply a test for him.
If he is willing, he will quit the innovation base at this time and do his best, maybe he can still get out of this area, but in this way, he will be equivalent to abandoning his teammates, relatives, and friends here.
However, it only took two seconds for Gu Bin to make a decision, and also found a rather "reasonable" reason for himself: "Lao Tzu is here, and he can't run in vain." ”
So, with the support of this illogical reason, Gu Bin quickly recorded the map, and then began to run through the innovation base while calculating the time.
……
Xu Qing, who was walking in the front, obviously felt the increase in the frequency of ground vibration, but this vibration did not reduce the speed of the three of them, and he did not deliberately say that Ding Zheng and the two of them felt this change, but it was obviously meaningless to discuss it at this time, all they had to do was to hurry up.
Seventy bent down to examine a man's face, then shook his head.
It's troublesome, quite troublesome.
The space inside the Innovation Base was far larger than they had thought, and after turning the corner at the elevator entrance, the corridor seemed incomparably long.
"Where will they go?" Ding Zheng guarded the surroundings with a firearm, he was not only vigilant of the darkness in the front and rear passages, but also of the staff who were everywhere and had fainted.
"There should still be a temporary passage here, but it's some distance from here." He looked at the map and said, "From here, you should pass through 3 rest rooms and an emergency medical room, what do you think?" ”
Xu Qing glanced at him, and then whispered: "I saw it on the road, take it away, if I didn't see it, we will go by ourselves." ”
Seventy was silent for two seconds, then nodded vigorously.
"Agreed."
After a brief impromptu vote, the search continued, and about a minute later, the hall that appeared in front of them made them pause.
There were even more fainting people here, and there were even people leaning against the workbench, apparently still doing their duty at the last second before they passed out.
Ding Zheng always quickly threw all the documents scattered on the ground into his inventory when he passed by, but these things were obviously not enough, and in one room in the hall, they saw a large number of white machines, all large paper shredders, which were filled with various documents, but they had also stopped working at this time.
"Zhang Liang!" After Xu Qing and Seventy glanced at each other, they opened their mouths at the same time and shouted loudly, which was probably the most effective method, even though it seemed stupid.
"Zhang Liang! Are you still awake? ”
Seventy shouted: "If you hear it, you will make a sound, and if you don't make a sound, we will go by ourselves!" ”
The sound echoed through the hall, then collided back and forth between walls, and finally into the distance.
Such an act is really not very wise, because they don't know the situation inside the entire innovation base at the moment, and such a loud noise may cause some big trouble.
"Bell!"
A faint crisp sound came into Xu Qing's ears, and he almost turned around and rushed in the direction from which the sound came from, almost as if he had been electrocuted.
It was a passage on the left side of the hall, and in the dim light, Xu Qing saw two people with blood on their bodies, a lot of blood, and directly stained half of the white research suit.
What Zhang Liang was holding in his hand was a terminal that he didn't know where it came from, and the sound just now was obviously the movement caused by the terminal when it bumped into the ground.
Ding Zheng and Seventy also saw this scene, Ding Zheng gave him a look, and Seventy immediately went over to help.
The two people who fell to the ground were Zhang Zining and Zhang Liang, two brothers and sisters, and it was Zhang Liang who was injured, his right arm seemed to have been pierced by something, but it didn't hurt the vital point, but the amount of bleeding was really a little scary, and it could be seen that the wound had been treated to a certain extent, but it was very rough.
Zhang Zining was actually awake, but she seemed to be a little unable to move, Zhang Liang reluctantly raised his left hand, pointed to his chest, and opened his mouth with difficulty.
"Having trouble breathing?"
Xu Qing guessed what he meant.
Seeing Zhang Liang nodding, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, this was expected, although he didn't know why Zhang Liang could still stay awake in this situation, but that terrible pressure obviously had an impact on him, Xu Qing didn't think that this guy with thin arms and legs could withstand it.
Xu Qing carried Zhang Liang on her back, and seventy walked over and helped Zhang Zining up, she looked fine, she actually stood firm with the support of seventy, although it was still quite difficult to act, but she could act on her own.
"What the hell is going on?" , Xu Qing gritted his teeth and asked, "You give me an honest explanation, otherwise I will throw you here directly." ”
"Run." , Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and whispered, "That girl has a problem...... She's probably already getting closer to here, quick, go to the elevator! ”
When he said the last few words, he was almost out of breath, but Xu Qing finally heard his words clearly, and he didn't talk much at the moment, and carried him back to the entrance of the passage.
However, when he was about to walk out of the passage, he saw Ding Zheng suddenly raise his gun and point it in one direction.
A figure appeared in front of them.
It was a delicate figure, a woman, her upper body was only covered by fragments of clothing, her face was pale, but she walked very smoothly.
They all recognized the face.
"Su Rui?"
