Chapter 209: Into the Ground
The Institute of Biological Sciences, located on the Second Avenue of the [Standard Level 3 City Template] city, is famous in the country of [Unnamed 111] for its cutting-edge biological research.
On the 11th day of the 11th month of the year [1111], the institute was suddenly completely locked down by the biochemical garrison of the [unnamed 111] country. More than double-digit stretchers were carried out by heavily armed biochemical forces and secretly incinerated. The authorities did not comment on this. Since then, the scientific research institute has been guarded by a heavy guard, and no one can step into it.
Three days later, an acute flu epidemic began to spread throughout the city, with the main symptoms including a low-grade fever, bloodshot eyes, heavy sweating and a mild headache. The municipal health department began to distribute vaccines free of charge, and about 80 percent of the population was vaccinated under the arrangement of the authorities.
On the fifth day, the first zombie appeared.
On the seventh day, 15 percent of the citizens were infected.
On the 10th, the infection rate reached 50 percent.
On the 15th day, the infection rate reached 85 percent.
On the 28th, the infection rate reached 100 percent, and one of the last survivors committed suicide.
- A note from an anonymous reporter at the newspaper [Too lazy to think about the name], the owner of the note died at the hands of his own gun
——————————————
The interior of the Institute of Biological Sciences is extremely chaotic, as if two armies had fought fiercely here, and in many places the walls are riddled with bullet holes, and there are even signs of heavy weapons explosions. In a war of this intensity, there should be a large number of corpses. At worst, there should be mountains of high-level zombies rushing out. But the most bizarre thing is...... Not a single corpse or zombie appeared.
Not even a drop of blood.
It was as if all traces of the human body had been removed here, leaving only a strange, translucent slime.
"It would be nice if I could find the initial experimental materials......" Su Jing sighed.
According to his estimates. This kind of top-secret biochemical research data cannot be stolen through external networks. Only physical isolation can guarantee the relative security of data. Therefore, there must be a secret server in this laboratory, and the corresponding research materials can only be transmitted in the laboratory's internal network. In other words, they first have to find a high-level experimental site.
According to Su Jing's instructions, Sadako Yamamura has been collecting all the tissue samples that may be used, including samples of ordinary zombies, hound-type mutants, brute bull-type mutants, and the slime found on the ground just now. After experiencing such a long period of Zerg strengthening, Su Jing also has quite profound attainments in biology and human medicine. If it's in terms of cells, genes, and viruses. It can also be listed as a senior researcher in ordinary earth science and technology. The adventurers of the Zerg series are born with a great information advantage in this regard, and in many cases they are a huge repository of information about biotechnology in their own right.
On a table, Gage finds a magnetic card that has been left behind. It appears to belong to a relatively low-ranking researcher. Gage, who also has a knack for electronics, quickly finds a laptop in an office and keeps it plugged into an electrical socket, and it looks like it has enough power. After turning on the phone, it took Gage three minutes to unlock the user password and log in.
"Let's look at the work file first." Su Jing came to her side and watched her start unlocking various files. After clicking through four different types of movie folders in a row, the two finally found the work documents of the original owner of the laptop. Look. The two noted that the most budgeted department was named the Hippocrates Engineering Research Group.
"Hippocrates?" The warlock muttered to himself.
"The 'Father of Modern Medicine' in Greece." Su Jing continued to drag the form down, "You can use this name as the project code." That's what we're looking for...... Such a large medical device. ”
"But there's no part of this department on it."
"You don't need to know from this computer." Su Jing intercepted, "There is a lot of heavy equipment here, since it is heavy equipment." Then it will definitely leave traces when it is carried. As long as we use the clues on the scene for logical reasoning, we will be able to find the place we are looking for. So. We deduce from normal logic, what should be used for large and frequent instrument handling? ”
“…… Freight elevators. ”
The two who found the clue closed their laptops. The warlock slipped it into his large backpack and took it with him.
The dark elf, who had been patrolling the door restlessly, saw the two of them come out of the office, their expressions a little calmer. Tristi trusted the abilities of these people, but she was still slightly irritable in such an eerie and silent place. Although it seems to be calm on the surface, after experiencing the baptism of the dark region of his hometown, Drow is very aware of the deadly murder that can be hidden under the calm. Her keen senses could sense that the monsters lurking here were more powerful than the most dangerous spider priests in Morsoblay.
In the silence and treacherous environment, Drow had adjusted his muscles to their most relaxed state. She saw the quiet girl, the girl with long black hair that she envied, a foreigner named Sadako Yamamura. She has an inhuman ethnicity about her, and while she doesn't discriminate against others because of her race (because she's been discriminated against enough), she's still wary of this silent girl.
"Underground."
Sadako Yamamura said suddenly, her face pale from the excessive use of her mental power.
"Underground, there is a very ...... Evil and chaotic consciousness exists. Like a greedy beast, thirsting for ......"
"Fresh flesh, I guess." Su Jing crossed the three of them and walked towards the freight elevator, "You always have to face it." An extremely mutated zombie, hidden underground, with corrosive power - guess what it's afraid of? ”
"Flames." Gage said.
"Sunshine." Drow replied.
"Courage?" Sadako Yamamura asked in a whisper.
“…… I was going to say scared of me. Su Jing pressed the button of the freight elevator. It's interesting. The power supply for this institute seems to be supplied independently, so even the entire city is cut off. There is still a reliable energy source here.
The elevator doors opened, and the four of them walked in together.
"Check the equipment. Pneumatic nail gun with three handles. Two pairs of high-voltage gloves, two pairs of acetylene cutters, a pair of miniature chain saws, seven pieces of handmade explosives, three sabers, and a whip...... Tsk, it seems that our success rate is not high, so let's find a printer to save first. ”
The drow elves from the forgotten realm, the theater actors from Japan in the fifties, and the bounty hunters from the future interstellar realm looked at him with a confused expression, which made Su Jing feel a heavy sense of grief that no one understood when he told a bad joke.
"No...... Don't care what I say......"
There are nine floor buttons in the elevator from the eighth floor above ground to the first floor underground, and Gage directly uses the high-temperature flame to cut open the elevator's electric control panel, and finds a second hidden identity authentication system inside. It took the mechanic two minutes to crack it using the most brutal method of wire connection. The alarm bell rang, but no security personnel came to stop it.
The freight elevator went all the way down, and it was clear that this secret biological experiment team was hiding underground. Su Jing silently calculated the speed and depth of the elevator's descent, and in the fifteenth second, when it fell to about twenty meters below the ground level, a wild roar came from the ground, and then, a heavy impact hit the bottom of the elevator. in a small space. The four of them couldn't grasp their center of gravity and fell into a ball on the floor.
Under the blow, the steel floor was knocked out in large chunks, like the devil in hell was trying to rush out from below.
Another blow.
The freight elevator made a loud roar. The carrying capacity of this elevator used to transport goods is 1.6 tons, which is twice that of ordinary manned elevators, and the steel pressure bearing capacity at the bottom is also extremely strong. But under the heavy blow of the unknown monster below, it was as soft as plasticine.
After two heavy hits. The thing fell silent.
Suddenly, a black claw pierced the bottom of the elevator. Then he began to cut the bottom side horizontally, as if he were opening a can, trying to open the bottom of the elevator.
"Bombs."
At this critical moment, the four of them actually kept their calm, after all, they had already experienced several adventures, and they had seen many monsters more powerful than this. Su Jing took out a lighter, lit two handmade explosives, and threw them from the place where the black claws protruded from the crack. At the same time, the Drow drew his saber and sliced the claw with a flash of silver.
With a violent explosion, the elevator shook a few times. All four heard a low roar fading away.
“…… It's just a temporary repel of it. ”
The flickering lights in the elevator regained their light, and after a pause of more than ten seconds, they began to descend again.
When the elevator doors opened, all four covered their noses.
It stinks, and the huge pile of rotting corpses almost fills this layer. In the pile of semi-liquid corpses were not only the white robes of researchers, but also the combat uniforms of some combatants. All human bodies are so festered that they can hardly be described as solid. This bizarre corruption gives a ...... The feeling of otherworldly creatures.
Su Jing picked up an assault rifle wrapped in slime from the pile of corpses, this piece of steel had been almost corroded and completely incapacitated.
“…… And what about monsters? Gage adjusted the fuel flow of the acetylene cutter.
"Hidden in a corner of here." Sadako Yamamura stepped out of the sand despite the dirt, "It feels weird, I'm sure it's far away from us, but...... But it seems to be all around us......"
Su Jing kept looking at the pile of corpses on the ground and pondering, his gaze followed the endless corpses, thinking about the connections, all the fragments were constantly combined...... So he understood.
“…… Sadako, take us forward. Go where you sense. (To be continued......)
PS: While I was having lunch in the cafeteria today, a friend's father, who is also a teacher from our school's teaching office, greeted me affectionately and said that he had seen my work on the Internet and praised the results of this book......
I was scared all the time.
Although I don't think you may be able to see this paragraph, but if Uncle Tao were reading it, I would like to state that the contents of this book are completely healthy, and my personality is sound and sunny, without a trace of gloom. My outlook on the world, values, and life could not be more correct! I'm a normal person! Not psychopathic! I don't like to look at beautiful girls with lights! I don't like to see rainbow ponies either! I don't have lust for non-humans and young girls! I'm not sadistic! No masochism either!
Everything - it's all normal literary creation!!
