Chapter 740: IM
Long Tao immediately said no, he couldn't let me enter the snow mountain alone, and before leaving, Gu Yu repeatedly told him to protect me.
"Don't worry, when I go to the area where the ability can be released, I will use my mental power to search for brain waves, and if I can't find it, I will turn around and come back immediately." I patted Long Tao on the shoulder.
The creatures that destroy the Snow Mountain Base are very dangerous, and now it's been a year since we last entered the Snow Mountain Base, and if something happens, it will be a long time ago, and I only need to check the brain waves to know if I should approach it.
Long Tao wanted to say something, but I pressed his shoulder hand slightly, suppressed his words, and said in front of him:
"In case I'm in danger and trapped, you can go back and report the news, we can't both be trapped in one place."
We used to make arrangements like this to avoid the destruction of the team, and we always had to leave someone to carry the message to the base camp.
But Long Tao was still not at ease, I smiled and asked: "Aren't you not amnesia, then you should remember what I am, Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, I am a person who has survived three time and space." β
Seeing that Long Tao was still frowning, I smiled evilly, looked around, and said, "Yes, this place has been haunted before, and ghosts are calling... Ghost Cry Wolf Howling...... If you're afraid, I'll find someone to keep you company. β
Long Tao glared at me angrily, "It's useless to provoke the generals, okay, okay, you hurry up, go back quickly." β
I nodded with satisfaction, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, I stretched out three fingers: "Three days, 72 hours, if I don't come back after 72 hours, you go back immediately to inform Ah Yu." β
Long Tao made an OK gesture, he decided to set up camp in the warehouse of the processing plant, and I gave him two-thirds of the food and water.
Saying goodbye at the gate of the factory, I rode a horse and continued to march towards the snow-capped mountain, I said that I would go for three days, but in fact, I said more, and when the fruits of the crossing came out, I could come back in one day.
It is said that the Snow Mountain Base is very secretive and will not be discovered easily, but this time is different from the past, and this virus outbreak is far less serious than the previous two time and space.
So there are a lot of survivors, and if the original IM plant is still in the Snow Mountain base, and it has turned it into hell, then sooner or later someone will find out there.
Or those unjust souls, who will lure ignorant travelers to their deaths.
The last time we visited, it was already cold, and now it's the height of summer, and the scenery under the snowy mountains is completely different from the last time we visited.
I rode my horse on the grassy hillside, the blue sky, the snow-capped mountains, the grassland, I seemed to blend into a picture called nature.
Due to the epidemic, the cattle and sheep raised by both the farms and the herdsmen have been disposed of in a centralized manner, and there are no livestock on the grassland.
The herders also hid in their tents, living on food distributed by the government, and Long Tao and I walked for a day without seeing a third person.
I drove for another day, but I still didn't meet anyone else, and the fruit grew through it. But I didn't want to use it, so I continued to ride on horseback, and finally arrived at the foot of the target snow-capped mountain in the evening of the next day.
I don't have to dig through the mountains as hard as I did last time, because my ability can already cover the base of the mountains.
The advantage of using mental power is that it is not limited by the environment, whether it is windy, rainy, lightning and thunder, or a snowstorm covering the mountains, the spiritual power is not affected.
It climbed over mountains and through snow-capped mountains, searching the area of my memory. After a while, I found that there was brainwave activity at the base of the snowy mountain, and there was quite a lot of it.
Of course, this number is only a lot compared to 0, and if it is compared to the regular number of people at a base, it seems very small.
After much thought, I decided to use the newly produced Crossing Fruit and teleport to the interior of the base.
Since the last time I visited, I still have an impression of the layout of the inside of the base, and the place where I settled was a toilet in the building on the ground floor.
I was quietly relieved when I appeared in the cubicle of the women's bathroom, but when I heard the gunshots, I immediately picked it up again.
How can there be gunshots in the base?
Although there was only one sound, it sank like a stone into the sea, without stirring up a trace of waves.
The gunshot rang off, and there was no sound, as if it didn't interest anyone else at all.
I continued to use my mental strength to explore my surroundings, and found that after the gunshot, the surrounding brain waves became very excited, which is a fluctuation that occurs when emotions fluctuate greatly.
It seems that the gunfire still has an effect on them, but they still do not move in their respective positions.
I probed my psychic powers underground, further down in the testing area, but I didn't find the 'Big Mac' brainwaves.
There must be something wrong with the base, but the good news is that the giant brainwave hasn't appeared yet, and that's the ultimate boss.
There's no way to know the truth when I'm always in the toilet, so I put my ear to the toilet door and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
I made sure there was no sound, so I opened the toilet door and walked out cautiously.
It turned out that the hallway was littered with corpses, and they had been dead for at least a few hours, but they were still where they were when they died, and no one came out to remove the bodies.
It was only then that I realized that the brainwaves that were still active were survivors who were hiding from death.
The corpse is still there, and the big boss has not yet taken shape, maybe this base is still saved.
If you want to know what's going on, find someone alive and ask.
I found the elevator in my memory, the one where Gu Yu and I found the little orangutan, this time there was no strange sound, the power system in the base did not strike, I took the elevator to the next floor, and found the food warehouse I had seen in the video.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but there happened to be a living person in this warehouse, and I knocked on the door and asked if there was anyone inside.
The other party was startled when he heard the knock on the door, and his brainwave almost broke the watch, but then he heard me ask, and he quickly responded: "Yes!" β
"Is it a rescue team? When he opened the door and saw a stranger dressed as a commoner standing outside the door, the joy of salvation disappeared in an instant.
The smile on his face disappeared, but my smile climbed up the corner of his mouth, because the young man with glasses in front of him was the man in the video.
"Come in, it's dangerous outside." The young man did not wait for me to speak, and his face changed in an instant, showing his nervousness and fear, and he beckoned me to hurry in.
I stepped through the door, and he immediately reclosed the door and quickly locked it.
"Who are you? How did you get in? Visitor? The young man's series of questions were not malicious, his face was pale, his eyes were full of despair, and there was a little regret.
I thought that pity should have been given to me, so I put away my smile and asked, "What's going on here?" I'm lost. β
The young man showed an expression when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly: "You are so unlucky, you know, this is hell, there are devils everywhere, you shouldn't come..."
"Tell me about it, maybe I have a solution." I said lightly.
"Ha, that's impossible, there's a creature here, and if you are parasitic about it, you will die." The young man accentuated his tone, as if trying to convince me that it was a creature I couldn't fight against.
"IM, yes, if I'm not mistaken, it only parasitizes when it enters the human body, either by eating it in its stomach or by it getting into its eyes, mouth and nose."
"Y-Who are you? How do you know IM? You're not a lost tourist? The young man asked, shocked.
"It's a tourist, but it's not lost, let's talk about it, did they run out, and those monsters below."
"Yes, yes, we want to use it to treat the Hoto virus, and we don't know what went wrong, it's hard to explain, anyway, we're stuck here and can't get out."
When the young man finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something important, and stared at me with wide eyes, as if I were the most terrible monster in the world.
"How did you get in, it's all over the place, isn't ......?"
"I'm not parasitized, I'm not a monster, while it's still too late, you can tell me what weaknesses IM has."
"Weakness? It's useless, it's too late, you're at all-"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you waste any more time, you'll die."
If my guess is correct, the previous gunshot should have been the end of a survivor's life, perhaps because of rejection, maybe because of a lack of hope for survival.
The longer the time drags on, the more desperate these people who are alive become, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, it is better to say it than to bring it into a coffin.
"It, there's a biological cell that can kill it, we've been using this method to control it before, you know, the IM strain is intelligent, it's afraid of death."
The young man licked his chapped lips and continued, "But I don't know why, the cells of that creature suddenly lost their activity a few days ago, and the things that could threaten IM are gone. β
"A few days ago? What kind of creature is that creature? β
"An alien life, very precious, though it's dead, butβ"
I had to interrupt him again and ask eagerly, "You mean the big lizard you found on an alien spaceship?" β
Now the young man was even more surprised, and didn't ask me how I knew, but just nodded obediently.
A few days ago, the brain of the giant lizard was completely dead, could it be said that its brain waves still have an effect on the isolated cells?
The brainwaves disappear completely, and the isolated cells become inactive.
We have never met a young person alive before who has missed out on such important information.
Of course, at that time, we didn't know that there was a big lizard, and even if we knew that it could restrain IM, we couldn't find it.
Now that I know, it's just as helpless, the alien lizard is dead, and the world can't find a second one.
No, maybe there is!
I clenched my fists and held back the ecstasy in my heart, the alien lizard couldn't find a second one, but I could find an alien similar to it.
Gu Yu said that some of my data is the same as that of the big lizard, and since its cells can kill IM, maybe mine can do it too.
The last time we came, we didn't do it directly with IM, it was the man who wanted to be resurrected who activated the base's self-destruct device, and buried the entire base deep into the ground with IM.
Thinking that I was about to do it, I patted the young man on the back and asked with a smile, "Where is there an IM, is there one in the corridor outside?" β
The young man was so frightened by me that he stammered, "Youβwhat are you going to do?" β
I smiled evilly: "Do the experiment, say it quickly." β
The young man looked at me now not like he was looking at a monster, but like a madman, he swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "There is medicine and pharmacy, you really want to go?" β
I patted him on the shoulder: "Hide and don't go out, don't be afraid of those man-eating monsters, they're dead, I just killed them all." β
