It was a rectangular metal cabinet beveled across four vertical edges, giving the exterior a heavy mechanical feel. The dark gray bottom surface and lifeless shape make it more like an iron coffin than an ordinary cabinet.

The iron coffin rests on the base at a slightly angled angle, and is held in place by twelve black hooks on each side. Several metal pipes protrude from the edge of the coffin and connect with the base. Its upper surface is covered in years of accumulated dust, and several rows of looming lights indicate that the entire unit is still functioning.

"What is this?" Goku was the first to ask.

Nine-Tails searched for something similar in his memory, but couldn't find an answer for a while. She looked at Xuanzang on the side, but found that he was leaning against the wall and trying to undo his gas mask with extremely unnatural movements. She went over and pressed Xuanzang's hand and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xuanzang removed her hand and signaled to them that she was still awake and that it was all spontaneous. "I want to throw up." He tried his best to suppress the uncomfortable feeling, closed his eyes to relieve the dizziness in his head, "It's nothing, I'm just afraid of vomiting in the mask, how disgusting." ”

"It's gamma rays." The Nine-Tails reacted and asked Wukong and Jingliuli to move the arc-shaped device to the door, and looked for the adjustment switch on it, "The power is too great, a few of us are fine, and the damage to you is more serious." What to do, there are no spores in it at all. ”

Xuanzang slowly shook his head a few times and said, "It's better now, after all, this body still has a bit of radiation resistance, and it is not so easy to break." ”

"Why did they irradiate this iron box with such high-intensity gamma rays?" Nine-Tails wondered.

"It's a hibernation pod." Xuanzang said.

"Hibernation pod?"

"Yes, it's the kind of device that freezes the user, suspends all life activity, and preserves them for decades or centuries. Mostly for humans. Xuanzang said, walking to the hibernation pod, "But according to this posture, there may be something strange inside." ”

He brushed the thick dust off the panel. Looking back at the people who were keeping their distance from it: "Don't you want to see it?" ”

Wukong said cautiously, "Let me come, Xuanzang." ”

"It's just a glance, it won't be opened."

"But now that we've removed the gamma rays, there's no guarantee of what will happen to what's inside." Goku said, "No matter who set up the room like this in the first place, their purpose is obvious, which is to imprison that thing with gamma rays. ”

Xuanzang thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "You're right." Then he told Goku how to do it, and he retreated into the distance with the others.

Goku pressed the button on the panel, and the hibernation pod emitted a short beep. The upper metal cover of the outer layer is lowered to reveal the clear glass cover of the lower layer. The hood was covered with a thin mist of water, and a white shadow appeared in the haze.

Xuanzang saw Wukong wipe away the mist on the glass cover, and the two blade-like iron eyebrows frowned slightly. "What's inside?" He couldn't help but ask.

"A skeleton." Wukong said, putting down the crowbar in his hand, "The human skeleton looks like it's too dead to die anymore." ”

"Skeletons?" Nine-tails couldn't help but step forward to check, Xuanzang and Jing Liuli also walked over and looked at it from a better angle.

In the hibernation pod. A white skeleton lay quietly with its hands folded in front of its chest. It was soaked in an icy liquid, and there was nothing left but pale bones. Indeed, as Goku said, there is no sign of any life.

Nine-tails leaned in front of the glass cover to take a closer look for a while, then turned his face suspiciously, and asked Xuanzang: "How can there be a dead person in the hibernation cabin." Did it break down in the middle of it? ”

"It doesn't look bad from the indicator light, but if you keep shining with gamma rays, you will die." Xuanzang lowered his gaze. Meaningfully, "If it's really human." ”

"Aren't these human bones?"

"How can you die in a hibernation pod and rot so much that there is no meat left?"

As soon as the words fell, the glass cover of the hibernation cabin suddenly shattered, and a hand with a white bone structure stretched out and strangled the neck of the Nine-Tails!

Goku immediately slashed with his palm, breaking that arm and taking the Nine-Tails aside. Jing Liuli also pulled Xuanzang behind him, pointed the gun at the hibernation cabin, and put his index finger on the trigger.

Liquid from the hibernation pod gurgled out of the hole, and the bottom half of the lid was kicked open and bounced to the side. Holding the edge of the pod with his other hand, the skeleton stepped onto the ground, not glancing at anyone around it, but pointing its empty eye socket at the arc of the doorway, and leaning out.

After only listening to the "click" a few times, the white bones were neatly dismantled into pieces by Wukong, and he stepped on its head with one foot, and said disdainfully: "The demon who pretends to be a ghost!" ”

Nine-Tails rubbed his neck with palpitations: "What the hell is this, how can the skeleton suddenly come to life?" ”

"That's what you've always dreamed of." Wukong sneered, "Risking your life to enter here, only to release a moving skeleton, did you get power from it?" ”

"I'm not the only one who wants to come in." Nine-Tails whispered unconvinced.

At this time, Xuanzang suddenly shouted: "Wukong be careful, it's not dead yet!" ”

The white bones, shattered into the ground, began to move again under the astonished eyes of everyone. As if attracted by a magnet, they quickly gather towards the middle.

Goku screamed angrily, swung his stick again and smashed it apart, smashing the end of the crowbar to pieces. However, the scattered bones began to act separately, so he couldn't care about it for a while, and a hand quietly seized the opportunity, grabbed the wire connecting the generator and the gamma ray machine, and cut it instantly with his sharp fingertips.

The gamma-ray machine at the door made a fading sound and stopped working.

"Hurry up and get out of the way!" Goku shouted, and in a few clicks, he pushed everyone out of the door, and everyone fled the room together.

There was a constant whistling of wind overhead, and a lot of scraping noise. Large flocks of white rattans swept past them, swarming towards the room behind them, forming an encircling whirlwind.

Wukong, who was left behind at the end of the team, couldn't help but slow down, turned to face the whirlwind, and saw that the white bones that had been shattered by himself were quickly combining and regaining their human form.

The flying white vines suddenly and neatly stopped, and at the same time opened a dense cluster of pink flowers, releasing spores in the sky before withering, forming a clearly visible spore cluster, like a galaxy surrounding the white bones in the center.

They converged again towards the bones, as if they were particle prints, quickly constructing flesh and skin, revealing the monstrous creature's final form.

A woman with long hair reaching to the floor. (To be continued......)
