Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Strange Man in the Inner Ring
[Countdown 4:35:42]
【Top warning! Containment Item 682: Indestructible Iguana Containment Breach! Repeat!Containment Item 682 Indestructible Iguana Containment Breach! 】
The space station activated backup energy after its core energy was drained, causing the energy supply to drop by two orders of magnitude.
As a result, in a heavy containment chamber with a special alloy in the core energy chamber, a huge claw pierced through the door nearly half a meter thick.
In the tearing sound of metal "creaking", a crack was torn out of the door. The long, narrow and ugly face of a monitor lizard was revealed.
The tactical eyepiece shows the opponent's data:
{The 682 Immortal Iguana is a large reptile that is hostile and aggressive towards almost all life, and is especially averse to humans, extremely tenacious, with great adaptability and regenerative abilities, and can still move and communicate even when 87% of its body is destroyed or decayed, and can evolve with harsh environments.
The terrifying lizard was squeezing its body through the cracks in the gate, and the twisted metal spikes of the gate as it were torn apart could not cut through its scales.
The lizard's vertical pupils revealed endless malice towards life, and Lan Bing and Lan Yu felt it almost immediately.
"Run! It's simply not something we can deal with. ”
Suddenly, the outer ring of the space station experienced a violent explosion. The force of the impact caused the station to tip to one side. The damaged gravity compensation mechanism was not activated in time.
In an instant, the left branch corridor leading to the outside sloped sharply. The two of them didn't care so much, jumped deeply, and slid down the hallway.
Lan Bing took a deep breath and kept freezing the ice crust in front of him, and the two of them slid down the ice crust as fast as a surf skate...... The doors of the containment chamber swept backwards at a rapid pace, and the two of them quickly swept through the inner ring and headed towards the middle ring......
When the valve in the Central area was close at hand, Blue Feather hugged Lan Bing by the waist, and the gravity chain flew towards the wall on one side, biting a fire hydrant.
The gravity chain straightened like a bungee rope, ending the two of them from slipping. At this time, the space station finally activated the gravity compensation mechanism, and gravity returned to equilibrium.
On the way, the immortal iguana enters the laser corridor. As it passed through the laser corridor, the space station master intelligence activated the laser corridor in an attempt to intercept it.
The scorching laser web was instantly pulled up and shrouded towards the ugly lizard's head.
But...... There was only a slight smell of burnt paste in the air. The tail of the immortal iguana slammed into the wall, and most of the laser corridor collapsed in an instant. The lizard's stinking mouth bent into a disdainful arc.
Blue Ice Blue Feather ran wildly ahead, and after running for a short time, he saw the door of a containment chamber open in front of him.
In the field of vision, there are three points of light in the containment chamber.
The two glanced at each other, and Lan Bing activated his invisibility and went to explore the way.
There are three individuals in the containment chamber. One was dressed as a Birdbeak doctor at the time of the Black Death, and the other was a woman in her twenties. Both are containment objects.
There was also a person carrying a rusted jar on his back, and Lan Bing immediately realized that the other party was also a person from the system space......
The tactical eyepiece pops up three panels.
The first one is about that rusty jar:
{-047 Containment Microbial Mutagonist is a heavily corroded, broken gas tank made of ferroalloy. When exposed to the open air, the tank's material will slowly evaporate, producing a previously undocumented mutagenic gas. This gas will greatly alter prokaryotes,}
The second one is about the Bird's Beak Doctor:
{-049 Plague Doctor is a humanoid entity, 1.9 meters tall, resembling Doctor Birdbeak. When it is present, it creates a strange sense of unease. Normally, -049 is friendly and friendly, but can become irritable and even aggressive when perceived by its so-called "plague" presence. -049 is capable of cessating all physiological functions of an organism through direct skin-to-skin contact. This is usually followed by rough surgery on the cadaver using instruments.
{Surgery often results in the appearance of -049-2.} Only basic athletic ability and reaction mechanisms. However, if provoked or instructed by -049, they may also become extremely aggressive. }
This 049-2 is the corpse puppet that the team encountered when they obtained the master key!
The third is about the woman:
{-353 containment vector, resembling a normal human female, is able to extract microorganisms from her surroundings, preserve them, and grow them in her body, greatly enhancing the potency of carrying microorganisms when emotional. }
{Addendum: -353 is capable of "storing" almost all germs in the body, and currently, there are over a thousand different pathogens in -353's bloodstream, including HIV, Ebola, Marburg, sixty-seven different strains of the common cold, as well as herpes, E. coli, Vibrio cholerae, Yersinia pestis, and malaria worms............ At least 30% of the pathogens discovered were undetected by the medical community and may have been designed by -353 itself............}
The three of them were talking, and 353 said to the man, "I didn't expect anyone to have the same abilities as me, and even better than me......"
Just as Lan Bing walked through the door, the epidemic doctor who was listening suddenly turned his head, showing that he had found her.
A cordial greeting came from under the strange beak mask: "Ah~ Hello, ma'am." You seem to have signs of plague in you, and it looks like you need me to do a diagnosis for you. ”
"I ...... I don't understand what you're talking about...... I am healthy. ”
Doctor Birdbeak laughed, "Look what you're talking about, plague, you know." ”
It snapped and then banged on its temple in annoyance, knocking out the beak mask with a "dodo" sound: "Oops, you know, that, uh...... What do you call it...... That...... Ah, forget it. It's the plague. ”
"Yes. It's everywhere in the world outside of this space station, you know. Many have already succumbed, and many more are about to succumb. But I'm going to heal it. ”
It waved the sharp stick in its hand and shouted at Blue Ice, "Come on, possible patient." Let the doctor take a good look at you! ”
Hearing this guy's words, Blue Feather rushed up regardless of it, preparing to use the wither to restrain it and buy time to escape.
But when he saw the person in the room talking to the vector, Lan Yu's expression became suspicious—it seemed as if he had seen each other somewhere.
At this time, the energy level of the space station continued to drop, and the lights had become dim. Lan Yu couldn't see the other party's face clearly and recognize who he was. But he was pretty sure he must have seen each other somewhere.
The other party obviously felt the same way............ He scratched his head in confusion, and whispered something to the beak doctor, who apparently listened.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, for looking at me...... Hey, if you admit the wrong person, your license will be revoked...... This, huh...... I must have been so happy to see rare healthy people...... I wish you both good health ......"
The two of them delayed, and the immortal iguana was rushing towards the position of the two.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The lizard's footsteps are getting closer.
The bird's beak doctor looked in the direction where the voice came from suspiciously, and was pleasantly surprised when he saw the visitor: "Aha~ Little gecko, you are really lucky, it just so happens that I also know veterinary medicine." ”
It poked the metal floor with its cane, "Come on, let the doctor take a good look at you." ”
Seeing that the Birdbeak Doctor was about to help intercept the immortal iguana, the two exhaled heavily and continued to run forward.
