Chapter 20: Survivors on the Third Floor
By the window, Gu Shanhai looked at the pitch-black sky, without a little starlight, as if it was covered by something.
After not finding the remaining half of Qingcheng Chiju's body, he naturally did not continue the investigation, most likely still in the crack of the wall.
It's impossible to dig anymore, and the player isn't really dead, so there may be some clues to the investigation.
But is he now an investigative matter? He is now ready to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, what to check, and he is not a puzzle solver, just go recklessly.
Climbed out of the window, his five fingers were blessed with mana, and he climbed up to the third floor with the Yunling Grass flower pot on his head like a gecko, and it was not easy to operate with one hand at this time.
After climbing up, I looked inside, and there was silence.
Carefully and directly ripped off the window frame, and after removing the glass, I saw the situation inside.
"An experimental base?"
"It's very different from what I imagined."
In Gu Shanhai's imagination, this should be similar to some kind of terrifying sacrificial place, but the fact is diametrically opposite to what he imagined, the neat and orderly appearance of this place makes him a little smacked.
Soon he climbed in, tried to turn on the power, and with a snap it lit up.
"It doesn't have the same power system as the first and second floors, but it seems that the time of abandonment is a little different."
According to his observations, it seemed to be still running, and he looked at the surveillance camera on the side, which was still running, but it was not clear if anyone was watching.
"So it seems that this crisis is not caused by a cult and a strange magic?" Gu Shanhai frowned, this was a bit unreasonable.
After putting the glass back on, he left the laboratory-like place and walked down the hallway, the sensor lights automatically lit up, illuminating his path.
Smack...
The viscous liquid on the soles of his feet made him frown, and he didn't know when, he noticed that some strange slime appeared on the originally clean and tidy ground from time to time.
Reaching out and wiping it a little, this kind of mucus is a bit similar to the feeling of gelatin, it looks translucent, and it doesn't smell like a smell.
"Some kind of discharge?"
"It reminds me of some kind of death-defying act."
The scientific study of some kind of strange creature eventually led to the outbreak of terror at St. Mary's Hospital.
As for where do the strange creatures come from? Quite simply, there wasn't a solar particle storm before, and maybe some people gained knowledge from the distant starry sky.
"Old-fashioned and bloody."
Gu Shanhai quickly determined that the enemy he might face next, it was either this evil creature that was the culprit that caused this crisis.
He didn't care what the world was like outside of St. Mary's Hospital, he only cared if he could get this technology.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a dried corpse in a white coat embedded in the ceiling, and its body was still wrapped in a lot of slime, occasionally dripping a drop or two.
Gu Shanhai jumped out of it, and after landing on the ground, further exploration found that the moisture on the other party's body was pumped out.
"It's probably the evil creature that did it, so it's out of control." Gu Shanhai checked the corpse and didn't find much of it.
After searching for it, I didn't find a diary, and if a serious person writes a diary, well, even if it is written, it is impossible to carry it with you.
"But this thing's water-locking ability is a bit strong, and the water in it hasn't evaporated yet." Gu Shanhai looked at the slime on the ground, which was still very moist.
It would have been at least a few months since the researcher died, and the slime on the ground showed no signs of drying up.
"Are you a federal investigator?" Suddenly, a voice came from the radio, the voice was a little strange, and it sounded like Gu Shanhai had phlegm stuck in his throat.
"Do you want to see the papers?" Gu Shanhai said quietly.
Out of his peripheral vision, he caught a glimpse of the surveillance camera in the hallway, from which the voice had just come from.
"No need, it must be the people of the Federation who can come here to save us." The voice replied again.
Apparently this thing has a dialogue function.
"Where are you?" Gu Shanhai asked directly, and he didn't make any temptations, if the other party didn't want to say it, forget it.
"Logistics warehouse, I'll show you the way." The other party didn't have too many words, but it was done in one step.
Gu Shanhai followed the other party's command, and on the way, he was constantly talking clichés.
"I wonder, what the hell is going on here?" Gu Shanhai asked.
"The Immortal Plan has failed, I think you should know it." The voice replied.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, I just received a mission to rescue you, three team members died on the first and second floors, and one is missing, what immortality plan has nothing to do with me, my mission is to take you away, of course, it doesn't matter if you want to say it." Gu Shanhai said.
"We have obtained a huge protoplasmic creature with extremely high intelligence, and in the process of communication, we have obtained some information from its mouth, such as that it is not a creature of our universe, but because of the spatial gap formed by the solar particle storm."
"Of course, physicists disagree, but it has nothing to do with us."
"With its extremely long lifespan and vast knowledge of obscure and terrifying knowledge, we have benefited greatly and have quickly become the most trusted alliance, during which time the Federation's technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and even the interstellar project has begun."
"Until it speaks of its ability to live forever."
When the other party said this, he didn't continue, obviously because there was no need to continue later.
It's nothing more than tearing your face and then wanting to get the secret of the other party's immortality.
"So, is this protoplasmic creature still here?" Gu Shanhai asked.
"Yes, we forcibly imprisoned it here using its magical technology, but in the process, we also lost a lot of money, and many of the test subjects were released as a result, and are now roaming the first and second floors." The other party spoke.
"I see, no wonder the Federation asked me to come to the rescue, this is a big project." Gu Shanhai said with a slight mockery.
He said this on his lips, but he was very calm in his heart, he didn't believe what the other party said, and you a researcher told him a person who didn't know the depths, what about the sense of confidentiality?
Therefore, Gu Shanhai guessed that the other party most likely wanted to use him to deal with that evil creature, and the word immortality between the lines was also bait, in order to stimulate his greed.
