Chapter 67: Unknown Existence
As Andy wondered why the crab had contracted the virus, the half-sized mutant crab began to eat the diseased tissue.
On closer inspection, the blisters were not on it, but rather it was eating a corpse with blue blisters, so it looked as if it had a new plague at first glance.
Andy looked at the corpse that was being held and eaten by the crab, it seemed to be a piece of corpse wearing some kind of protective suit, and as the crab was gnawing, it used its own arthrops to quickly turn the corpse one by one, so that the other side of its protective suit appeared in front of Andy.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, some faint handwriting emerged.
"The West .... What? β
Andy took two steps closer, and the crab suddenly stopped moving.
After a moment's stalemate, it dropped the food in its hand and spread its two pincers and quickly moved towards Andy.
"Rustleβ"
The crab legs moved quickly on the mud, and this thing had more legs than people and weighed less than people, and as a result, it was basically muddy when walking, and Andy had to trek hard.
Andy fired a shot at it, and the crab staggered, slammed its head down, shrunk under its shell, and held its head to the left and right sides with two pincers, and continued to sprint in a charging position.
Two more shots passed, and due to the powerful stopping effect of the riot weapon, the mutant crab was finally knocked to the ground by the impact, Andy pulled out the self-charging pistol, and a laser hit the crab's soft abdomen, directly causing it to kick its legs on its back and die.
Andy walked over and kicked the mutant crab, which he had never seen before, the thick carapace of the carapace, which was not only so strong but also shaped like a combat helmet that the bullet would eject and not be effective.
There were other corpse fragments scattered around the room, presumably cut out of those pliers.
The flashlight shone left and right, and Andy found that there was actually a company logo on the wall, which read "Western Technology".
The mottled walls were dilapidated due to the effect of water vapor, but Western Technology could barely make out them, so the handwriting on the corpse's protective suit just now and the so-called company mentioned in the code outside should all refer to this company. Western Tech Corporation, a certain company in the Old World.... Andy wasn't too impressed, he wasn't a scavenger or a pre-war expert.
Stepping out of the room, which was empty, Andy continued deeper inward.
He soon discovered that it seemed to be a staff dormitory, with some rooms filled with neat bunk beds, and even cabinets with all sorts of personal miscellaneous items, some of which had pictures of beautiful bikini girls posted.
Boxed food, strange magazines, everyday items.... And also...
Andy held up a notebook, which was already moldy and hairy.
He opened the notebook, and the mycelium was even pulled apart like glue, looking very horrible and disgusting.
After turning the page for a while, the only distinguishable page appeared in front of me.
"James is a stupid X, he has another accident today, or he will be finished soon. I told him not to continue to do things, but he didn't listen, and if he didn't listen, he wouldn't listen, and it wasn't that he wasn't dismissed, and they all went to the third basement. The original contract was a deed of sale, and even then the people of Denver were squeezed out of the way. β
Andy pinched his horns and frowned for a moment, then tossed the note back into the cupboard.
There is no key information, and this is the whining of the employees.
"Someone with high authority wants to be on the basement level...."
Andy looked up at the ceiling, it seemed that there was only one elevator that could go up and down, how to go up and down the road behind him when the road behind him was blocked?
Having no clue, Andy had to go to the other two corridors to take a look.
He walked out of the middle hallway out of the staff dormitory and walked towards the hallway on the left.
As soon as I entered, I found that the environment here had become more harsh, and the doors were all heavy metal isolation doors, which had rusted due to moisture, and the door number was simply and rudely written.
On the wall next to it is also a list, which appears to be updated daily, with the update date ending on October 23, 2077, which records that there are 33 "severe", 214 "mild" and 3 "asymptomatic" in the two districts of AB.
"Where the sick are held?"
Andy muttered to himself alone in the dark, wishing that it would be nice to have someone with him, he had gone down to the ruins of Atlantis with the team anyway, and this time he was the only one..... However, it doesn't matter if it's a person, there seems to be a lot of connection with the new plague here, and he's not afraid of that anyway.
Came to the door of a cell numbered 149, which was completely sealed, and there was not even an observation window.
Andy reached out and touched it, the lock was tightly closed, the keyhole was completely rusted, and he wanted to open this thing unless it was violently destroyed.
He looked left and right and tried to open one directly, but he didn't expect to find that there was a door that was not closed, but open.
He walked over, and the number on the mottled metal barrier door seemed to be number 130... It made Andy mutter.
Someone violently broke the lock of the door and opened the cell, Andy walked in and found an amazing scene, a large hole was broken in the wall of the cell, the entire wall was almost broken, and the hole was pitch black.
Andy shone a few times with a flashlight, and found that it was a cave-like place, with water accumulating at an unknown depth.
The mud on the ground showed obvious signs of impact, as if a large amount of water had poured into it at one point, and then the water gradually receded, leaving only the mud behind.
Remembering those who died in the elevator, could it be that they did it? They violently opened it up and caused a great flood, and then they all drowned in the elevator? But judging by the deaths of those guys, it doesn't seem that simple..... Just as he was thinking, a red shadow suddenly seemed to flash in front of him.
Andy held a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and after a while, he saw a "tail" on the side of the deep cave in front of him, and the tail had red fins erected up and down, and the tail itself was black and could be distinguished by slime and scales, and it was still swinging at the moment.
"Who?!"
Andy raised his gun and looked at the thing, it slowly turned around, still clutching a corpse in its hand, the corpse was swollen and ulcerated, but the dense clusters of blue blisters were quite eye-catching.
As the flashlight slowly moved upward, the face of an ugly fish appeared, staring at a pair of cloudy white eyes, covered in scales and slime, red fins extending from the back of the head to the end of the tail, and webbing under the armpits and between the fingers. Its large, ugly mouth was full of fangs, and it was dripping blue juice from munching on a corpse.
Andy's mind buzzed, this thing was similar to the black fish-man he had encountered under Atlantis before, but the size and some details were very different, and those guys before were even more sluggish, and their complexion was pitch black. And the guy in front of him has a beast-like sense of cunning, and the colors on his body are also colorful.
In the bright light, it threw away the corpse it was eating and stood upright in front of Andy, only a head behind Andy's height, but the feeling of pride and hostility was revealed in the subtle expressions on its face.
Looking at the guy in front of him, Andy felt like he was in a dream.
Is this supposed to exist in this world?
V-mode has no analytical power for this thing.
[Unknown]
Still such a response.
"What are you? Can you understand me? β
Andy saw that the other party didn't seem to intend to attack directly, so he asked tentatively.
The fish-man tilted his head, stuck out his tongue and licked his hand with sharp nails, and there was a wading sound behind it, and before long, one after another fish-people of similar appearance gradually approached the place, they all walked on all fours when they came, but when they came to Andy's vicinity, they all stood upright.
The scene was terrifying, like the collective gaze of a group of supernatural sculptures.
But the fish-man closest to Andy suddenly sniffed the air, and his nose with two small holes seemed to smell something.
This similar to the previous action of the mutant crab alerted Andy, and he suddenly found that the dog blood on his body did not seem to bring him any benefit, in fact, he should have been disposed of a long time ago.
But it was too late, and the fish-men in front suddenly screamed, and all the fish-men instantly resumed their movement on all fours, and then collectively pounced on Andy.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
