Chapter 26: The Underworld

The Skeleton Lord is reduced to ashes.

A memory came out of thin air in Li Ling's mind.

That's what he got by devouring the Skeleton Lord's consciousness.

The sky of the underworld was shrouded in a gray layer of gas all day. In this boundless continent live many races such as skeleton soldiers, undead dragons, and lichs, and they have a common ruler, the king of all races - Hades.

With more than 10,000 skeleton soldiers under his command, the Skeleton Lord occupies a vast land, fighting daily with friendly and neighboring Skeleton Lords for territory and subordinates.

As the Skeleton Lord and dozens of his men prepare to set out on their expedition, they are sucked into a spatial rift and come to Earthstar, where they are trapped in a large room near the morgue.

After they went to great lengths to open the iron door and scare Yin Bo, Li Ling was the first human to enter the morgue again.

"It seems that the Skeleton Lord's memories of the underworld and the planet are in different dimensions. Somehow, the gaps in the space that had been so solid began to become unstable. Otherworldly creatures such as skeleton soldiers and three-headed dogs of hell have been swept up in the earth!" "The head of the brain analysis said, "Maybe there is a spatial node nearby, which can connect two worlds!"

Zhi Brain is no stranger to the other world, the spaceship of the home star can be space jumped, and when the space jumps is to temporarily enter the other dimensional space.

What exactly caused the spatial turmoil, Li Ling was not interested in this at all, he was curious about what was behind the iron gate, and how much space could accommodate dozens of skeleton soldiers.

Li Ling had been in Laboratory No. 2 for many days, and he had always thought that the morgue was next door.

Curiosity kills cats.

Li Ling picked up the spear from the ground, walked towards the iron gate step by step, turned to Yin Ling and said, "You stay here first, I want to see how many skeleton soldiers there are behind the iron gate!"

"I'm going to follow you too......" Yin Ling replied without hesitation.

There are two reasons why he followed Li Ling.

One of them is that she is also curious, Yin Ling has been to Laboratory 2 and the morgue more than once, and has never considered what is behind the iron gate, without this encounter, she will even think that the iron door is just an ornament.

The second is that she is afraid, she will only feel safer if she follows Li Ling.

Li Ling did not stop it.

Quickly came to the vicinity of the iron gate, and to his surprise, the back door of the iron gate was actually the entrance to the basement, and a long staircase came into view.

Li Ling cautiously walked down the stairs.

The basement is a hall of hundreds of square meters, the hall is brilliantly lit, there are bottles and cans of all kinds of reagents, and there are even a few electron microscopes.

Li Ling even saw the various culture utensils placed on the experimental table.

"Could it be that this used to be a microbiology laboratory?" Li Ling guessed.

The bench was covered with dust, and there were even cobwebs on it.

Maybe no one has been to the lab for years.

Li Ling remembered the mottled rust on the lock of the iron door of the morgue, which confirmed his speculation.

"Skeleton ......"

Li Ling was about to continue his observation, when Yin Ling's weak voice came from behind him.

They were in the middle of the hall, surrounded by twenty or thirty skeleton soldiers slowly walking towards them.

They are all subordinates of the Skeleton Lord.

"It's okay! I'll take care of them all!" Li Ling said boldly, handing his loot to Yin Ling.

Yin Ling hesitated for a moment, took the spear handed over by Li Ling, and stared nervously at the skeleton soldiers who were gradually pressing over around him.

Li Ling went straight up and stretched out his hand to plunge directly into the eyes of a skeleton soldier. In a moment, the skeleton soldiers were wiped out.

The Skeleton Soldier and the Skeleton Lord were not of the same grade at all, and he easily slaughtered more than twenty Skeleton Soldiers.

The current Li Ling and Zhi Brain's vision is a little high, and they don't pay attention to the energy of the skeleton soldier at all.

Li Ling looked around the entire hall, wondering if there were any other underworld creatures here besides the skeleton soldiers.

Although the lights in the hall were dim, Li Ling could see clearly, and he found a round spherical creature in the corner of the wall.

The spherical creature kept vibrating, and he was even more surprised that the spherical creature was transparent.

Li Ling walked over, and through the spherical creatures, he could see the floor that had not been cleaned for many days.

"This guy is a slime!" replied Brain, who had seen such a thing in its database with his old master in Proxima Centaura, similar to the underworld.

"A slime is a kind of mud-like thing that can be shaped at will!" "The slime has no attack power, and is timid and afraid, this slime in front of me is only afraid that it is trembling!"

Zhi Brain explained further.

It is not cold to low-level creatures like slimes.

No attack power?

Li Ling smiled, isn't slime a natural toy?

The slime in front of me is only more cute and cute than an expensive husky!

"It's not bad to give Bingbing as a gift!" Thinking of the little girl who rarely had toys, Li Ling instantly decided the fate of the slime.

"Don't be afraid, you can follow me in the future!" Li Ling didn't care if the guy on the ground could understand or not, smiled slightly, and tried his best to show a friendly side: "I won't hurt you!"

Carefully picked up the slime, although Zhi Brain said that it had no attack power, Li Ling was still very cautious.

Holding the slime in his hand, Li Ling found that it was really plastic at will, you pushed it inside, the slime will become smaller, you pull it out, the slime will become larger.

However, the weight never changes, and it is about the same as the weight of a soccer ball.

Li Ling wanted to know where this guy's limit was, so he compressed it vigorously, it was best to become the size of an egg, laughed, and put the slime in his pocket!

"Haha......"

Li Ling laughed wildly, not to mention Bingbing, he was about to like this guy.

A turn.

Li Ling found Yin Ling standing in front of the experimental table with a heavy face, his eyes glued to the petri dishes on the table.

Could it be a discovery?

Li Ling hurried back to the experimental table in the center of the hall.

It's close.

Li Ling found Yin Ling in tears.

She whispered: "Why, why is this so, the glory of the company, the efforts of the three generations of the Yin family, everything is a conspiracy?"

"All glory is stolen by immoral means?"

"Everything I value, the benevolence of the healer, is everything a lie?"

Yin Ling muttered a few words repeatedly, burst into tears, and collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

She rubbed her messy hair repeatedly.

Now.

She is no longer a personable female scholar or doctor, and she has taken off all her disguises.

Her spiritual world collapsed.

Her faith collapsed.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Linghu was suspicious and pulled Yin Ling's arm.

She didn't answer, but wept as if she were dead.

Li Ling raised his eyes and looked at the label on a petri dish: "Influenza E virus, a certain year, a certain month, a certain day!"

What does that mean?

He didn't have any feelings for the petri dish.

Yin Ling didn't have a clue why she was crying.

Zhi Brain began to get busy, invading the network to retrieve information related to the influenza E virus.

More than a decade ago, there was a large-scale transmission of influenza viruses in this province, which is a new supervirus with strong resistance to general antibiotics. The virus spread quickly, with dozens of deaths detected in just a few days.

At that time, the company hired Dr. Ma, who had returned from studying abroad, to conduct experimental research on antibiotics. They quickly found a new type of cephalosporin antibiotic to control the disease.

Influenza E was named after Yin Quan at that time, and Xianke Company became the leader of pharmaceutical companies in the city, and has continued to grow since then.

"Wait, isn't the year and month recorded on the petri dish a few months before the outbreak of influenza E, why did this underground laboratory start cultivating and replicating viruses at that time, and where did their specimens come from!" Li Ling's mouth opened widely: "Could it be that this virus was cultivated by them?"

Li Ling broke out in a cold sweat.

He felt like he had discovered a huge conspiracy.

Pharmaceutical companies first cultivate drug-resistant viruses and new antibiotics, then spread the new viruses, and then pretend to be good people and treat people with new antibiotics to save lives.

Fame and profit are there.

Just as a bystander, Li Ling felt that Xianke's strategy was too vicious.

Who was the implementation of the plan that year?

Yin Quan?

Or Yin Bo?

One is a father and the other is an uncle. Li Ling somewhat understood why Yin Ling was crying and why he couldn't accept the facts!

"Poor child!" Li Ling sighed, forcibly pulled Yin Ling up from the cold floor, and persuaded: "It's been so many years since the incident, no matter how much you cry, you can't change the facts, let's think about how to make up for it in the future!"

According to the information queried by Zhi Brain.

Although the company quickly developed a new type of antibiotic, hundreds of people died, thousands of people were tormented by the disease, and some caused irreversible damage.

These are all sins created by the company!

"You...... , you know everything?" Yin Ling was shocked, he didn't expect Li Ling to react so quickly, and he had also heard about what happened back then.

She has always been proud of the company, proud of the Yin family, and thought that her father's doctors were benevolent, and they had medical ethics. But no father would have done such a dirty thing behind his back.

She received a good education from a young age, lived in the best school district room, attended the best high school, and went abroad to study at the best medical university. I thought that everything in the Yin family was obtained by my own efforts, but I didn't expect that all the assets of the company were obtained by immoral means.

All of her beliefs that have been firm since she was born collapsed in an instant, so why should she be emotional?

"You're right, I shouldn't be obsessed with self-blame!" Yin Ling gradually turned from confusion to firmness, and his face revealed a resolute look: "Since you have done something wrong, you should admit it, and the responsibility of the Yin family should be borne by the Yin family!"
