Chapter 33: Underground Crisis
"Is the institute really all computer-controlled?" Chen Mofan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's not all like that." Liang Pseudo-Nan shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Although there are so-called intelligent systems in the institute, the supreme authority is still in the hands of humans. Come to think of it, if a super AI computer like the Red Queen had been in control, I might still be trapped in the test chamber right now. ”
"Do you have a map of here?" Chen Mofan asked.
Liang Pseudo-Nan shook his head without hesitation: "If there is a map, do I still need to ask you rookies to help?" The research on butterfly transformation potion in the research institute is like crossing a river by feeling the stones, and the direction is uncertain. Because of this, the early results of the research were born and have been able to attract attention from all sides. And everyone involved in the research has the desire to show their own strength, seeking more power and attention, so that the scale of this research institute has gradually grown. ”
"Rest assured, you don't have to worry too much, despite the unknowns. Just be careful, don't unleash dormant creatures in the culture room, and avoid getting lost. Liang Pseudo-Nan was relieved and revealed:
"As for the fusion sequence completion plan you are going to carry out next, you may be able to find the materials you need in the material ecology of the institute."
"Alright, guys, let's go." Chen Mofan took a deep breath and said to everyone.
Everyone's faces were worried, and a layer of gloom shrouded them.
Without a map to guide them, if they really fall into a situation like Resident Evil, enclosed in the depths of the ground, they don't think they can get away with the luck of the protagonist.
Yet, despite an indescribable sense of unease and strangeness rising in their hearts, they had no choice. Unless they are willing to live forever in this inhuman form, going deep into the underground has become their only way out. This is also the biggest motivation for their team to go through hardships along the way and not break up yet.
……
At the same time that Chen Mofan and his group successfully entered the research institute from the regular entrance, another group of characters of different shapes were also quietly approaching.
"Boss, is this institute really here? It's so desolate that even birds don't want to. One of the team members asked, confused.
"Don't underestimate the organization's cleaning mission, it never goes wrong. It's just ahead. Cao Jianguo, the leader of the cleaning team, responded, he was tall and mighty, his three-meter body was covered with wolf hair, he had four thick and huge arms, and his face was as hideous as a wolf.
"You haven't been fusing the butterfly potion for a long time, and you can't feel the strange aura around you. But I already sensed a powerful sense of awe, the breath of the 'angel', the unknown that had half a foot in the third stage. Cao Jianguo took a deep breath and explained.
Even more striking is the blood that appears out of thin air around him, indicating that he has entered Stage 2, a self-aware evolution.
As Liang Pseudo-Nan said, after entering Stage 2, the absolute life field will expand outside the body, and the evolved body can actively invoke and apply the alien energy in the body. This is a true active call, unlike the first two phases of passive assistance.
"This cleaning mission is a rare 3S reward level, and the points after completing it are enough for us to regain our human form." Cao Jianguo's eyes showed a solemn look, reminding the team members of the importance of this mission.
Are you sure?
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. However, Cao Jianguo's strength is undoubted, his words are orders, and the team members believe in him. For them, they have never even seen an S-level mission, let alone a higher-level 3S-level mission?
Soon, everyone was in front of an open patio. The patio is more than 30 meters in diameter, bottomless, pitch black, and the surrounding soil looks very new.
"Right here, I can sense the Angel down there, but there are still a few faint scents left here, one of which is disgustingly familiar to me. It seems that someone has already taken the lead, and even brought some unsuspecting children? Cao Jianguo sensed, "Let's go down, then dig, and enter the research institute." ”
In this team, except for Cao Jianguo, a strong man, the others are all ordinary players of Stage 0 who are improvised patchwork, and there are only two senior players in Stage 1. Faced with the bottomless patio, everyone instinctively felt fear. However, there is no way out.
All of them here are real monsters, and for them, the chance to regain their human form is like an oasis in the desert and will not be given up easily.
……
Chen Mofan's group did not know that another group of people had visited this place, and this group of people did not enter through the real entrance, but a patio that was excavated at no later date.
After driving the cable car for a while, the pseudo-man broke the silence: "How should this cable car be parked?" But the question left everyone in a brief silence.
Needless to say, no one here really knows how to drive this cable car. Even Liang Pseudo-Nan only came up and tried to fiddle for a few minutes before the cable car staggered forward, but looking at his operation, he knew that he was obviously blind just now.
How do I park my car?
Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Liang Pseudo-Man.
Liang Pseudo-Nan himself was completely dumbfounded, nervously pondering at the operation screen, and pressed a few buttons in a panic.
Suddenly, everyone's bodies shuddered violently, and they felt the cable car accelerate again. Liang Pseudo-Nan suddenly panicked, and pressed the button with his right hand indiscriminately.
At this time, a shrill alarm sounded in the cable car, and you don't have to think about it to know that it won't be a good thing.
Jumping out of the door?
However, in this high-speed downward trend of almost elevator falls, with the backlog of friction between the cable car and the tunnel wall, even if everyone already has an inhuman physique in their hearts, I am afraid that they will end up with "liver and brain".
At this moment, Chen Mofan had no time to care about blame, he realized that the complexity of the problem was far beyond imagination. He resolutely gave a loud order: "Liang pseudo-man, stay calm and try to stop the cable car!" Quickly move your luggage to the back of the car and stack it up as a cushion, so be careful of metal objects and sharp hard objects to avoid injury! ”
Everyone immediately ran towards the back of the car, and there was no delay at this time.
Chen Mofan moved to the center of the carriage, and when he entered the cable car, he noticed that the top of the car was an important part carrying the slide rails and wheels.
He took a deep breath and his gaze fell on the metal steel rod he had picked up on his previous journey, which he could only rely on for a chance of survival.
Chen Mofan clenched the steel rod with both hands, gathered all his strength, and stabbed it upwards violently.
With a deafening metal impact, the steel rod partially sank into the ceiling of the carriage, but it did not penetrate as he wished, but just stuck on the ceiling, Chen Mofan hung on it, and he tried his best to pull out the steel rod, but to no avail.
"Yu Boya, come over and help, get this place through!" Chen Mofan spoke quickly, and his voice revealed eagerness and anxiety.
