Chapter 546: Sleeping Specimen
At the same time, Jiang Xiao and his party had already embarked on a journey to the laboratory.
With a hint of guilt, the rescue captain guided the way.
The mood of the group was heavy, but it was also full of determination.
On the way, Jiang Xiao's thoughts spun rapidly.
He tries to find a connection in this fragmented information, to find the clue that can solve all the mysteries.
Finally, after several hours of trekking,
They arrived at the place known as the secret laboratory.
It is hidden in a crack in a small boulder on the outskirts, surrounded by barren weeds and the like.
At first glance, it seems normal, and there are almost no traces of anyone entering.
The rescue captain noticed the confusion and distrust on everyone's faces, so he said softly.
"Don't be nervous, this is indeed the entrance to the laboratory, but everything is kept secret for the sake of secrecy."
With that, he reached out and tapped a button on his chest.
With a low sound of mechanical turning, the boulder, which had seemed to be solid, slowly flipped over, revealing a human-high passage.
The passage is reinforced with reinforced concrete around the perimeter, giving it an unusually solid appearance, which contrasts with the barren surroundings.
Everyone looked at this scene in amazement, and couldn't help but be impressed by the rescue captain, and their curiosity about this mysterious laboratory became stronger and stronger.
On both sides of the passage, two uniformed guards suddenly appeared.
The weapons in their hands were clenched, and the expressions on their faces were serious.
But when their eyes fell on the rescue captain and saw him with a group of outsiders, the faces of the two instantly became shocked.
"Captain, why did you bring outsiders here?"
One of the guards stammered, his voice visibly alarmed.
The rescue captain replied with a blank face.
"The situation is special, they are here to help, you just have to let them go."
The guards looked at each other, obviously embarrassed, but under the determined gaze of the rescue captain, they finally turned sideways and moved out of the way.
"Yo? I didn't see it, you [little clerk] actually have such a big right, just let it go? ”
In the face of Shi Shi's joke, the rescue captain laughed twice, saying that he was still a little thin in the base.
The rest of the people know this.
If it weren't for his high status, he would definitely not be able to touch things like wastewater.
Jiang Xiao and the others followed in the footsteps of the rescue captain, passed through the passage, and entered the inside of the laboratory.
The sight inside is astounding:
The light is dim, with various instruments and pipelines intricately distributed around the perimeter, and in the center is a large sink soaked in some blue glowing objects.
The rescue captain said, pointing to the sink.
"That's the alien creatures we found in the depths of the ocean, and their death may be the cause of this disaster."
Jiang Xiao and the others approached the sink and saw that those objects were in different shapes.
Some resemble buffaloes, some resemble giant jellyfish, and some are more like creatures that do not belong to this world.
The only thing they have in common is that they all have purple lines on their bodies, which look both beautiful and dangerous.
"These are bones?"
Jiang Xiao asked suspiciously.
Everyone also stared at the rescue captain with a curious face, although these creatures seemed to be dead, they were full of flesh and blood, no matter how they thought about it, they didn't have anything to do with the word bones, right?
The rescue captain frowned, obviously confused by the sight in front of him.
He shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the creatures with strange patterns, his tone a little incredulous.
"I ...... I don't know what this is, but the last time I visited, there were only bones in this sink, and they were all samples that had been studied for a long time. ”
He turned to Jiang Xiao and the others, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and confusion.
"It's the first time I've seen these full-bodied creatures. Possible...... It could be fresh samples that the organization salvaged from the depths of the ocean without my knowledge. ”
Jiang Xiao frowned, he approached the sink and carefully observed these strange creatures.
Their bodies floated silently in the water, as if they were sleeping, but the purple lines seemed to suggest some kind of ominous aura.
"Fresh samples?"
Jiang Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"So should we contact the researchers in charge of this part? They should know more about it. ”
The rescue captain nodded, pulling out the communicator and trying to contact the rest of the base.
However, he pressed the communicator's button and there was no response, only silence and silence.
"Something went wrong with the communicator?"
The old man on the side frowned, she tried to communicate with her own device, but she was also unable to send a signal.
"How is the signal jamming here?"
There was a hint of anxiety in the rescue captain's voice.
"Something seems to be wrong, and we have to find the manual signal control room as soon as possible to see if we can fix it."
Jiang Xiao nodded, he realized that the situation might be more serious than he imagined.
He motioned for everyone to remain vigilant, and then followed the rescue captain deeper into the laboratory.
They walked through narrow corridors, each step weighing heavily.
The surrounding walls are covered with dense pipes, and the occasional roar of machinery is chilling.
Finally, they came to a room that looked like a control center.
The screens in the room display a variety of data and images, but there is one screen that stands out in particular.
It was a large crack in the ocean floor, and something seemed to be moving slowly in the crack, and the purple lines shimmered eerily on the screen.
The rescue captain stepped forward, his fingers trembling as he manipulated the console, trying to restore communication.
Jiang Xiao and the others stared nervously at the screen, wondering what kind of creature this creature was, and how they were related to this disaster......
Just as they were engrossed, a sudden jolt broke the silence of the laboratory, and the entire space seemed to tremble.
"What's going on?" Someone exclaimed.
The rescue captain hurriedly raised his head from the console, his face pale.
"Oh no, it looks like the situation outside has changed, this is the movement of the weapon station, we have to retreat immediately!"
Weapons table?
Jiang Xiao sneered, this is about the same.
No wonder they came in so easily with such a tight base.
No wonder I haven't seen a single living person since I came in.
Now it makes sense.
It must have been the two Kalami guarding the door outside who contacted the staff inside the lab.
Presumably they were exposed under the camera from the start, right?
Looking at the rescue captain who looked "panicked" like everyone else, Jiang Xiao felt that Shi Shi was still light just now.
