Chapter 20: Survivors on the Third Floor
By the window, Gu Shanhai looked at the extremely dark sky, without any starlight, as if it was obscured by something.
After not finding the remaining half of Qingcheng Chiju's body, he naturally stopped investigating. There was a high probability that it was still inside the crack in the wall.
It is impossible to dig, and the player is not really dead, so the investigation may yield some clues.
But is he investigating now? He is ready to go straight to Huanglong now. What is investigation? He is not a puzzle solver, so he can just go ahead.
Climbing out of the window, with magical power on his five fingers, he climbed up to the third floor as nimbly as a gecko with a flower pot of Yunling Grass on his head. At this time, it was difficult to operate with one hand.
After climbing up, I looked inside and saw silence.
I carefully pulled off the window frame and removed the glass, and then I saw what was going on inside.
"An experimental base?"
"This is very different from what I imagined."
In Gu Shanhai's imagination, this should be similar to some kind of terrifying sacrificial place, but the reality was completely contrary to his imagination. The place was clean and orderly, which made him a little stunned.
Soon he climbed in and tried to turn on the power, and it suddenly lit up.
"It doesn't have the same electrical system as the first and second floors, but it seems that the time of abandonment was a little different."
According to his observations, it seemed that the place was still running. He looked at the surveillance camera on the side. It was still running, but he didn't know if anyone was watching.
"So it seems that this crisis was not caused by the evil cult?" Gu Shanhai frowned, this didn't make sense.
After he put the glass back on, he left this laboratory-like place and walked down the corridor. The sensor lights automatically turned on, illuminating his path forward.
snap...
The thick liquid on the soles of his feet made him frown. He didn't know when he discovered that some strange mucus would appear on the originally clean and tidy ground from time to time.
I reached out and smeared a little. This kind of mucus felt a bit like gelatin. It looked translucent and had no smell at all.
"Some kind of secretion?"
"This reminds me of some kind of suicide attempt."
Using scientific methods to study some kind of evil creature eventually led to the horrific outbreak at St. Mary's Hospital.
As for where the evil creatures come from? It's very simple. There was a solar particle storm before. Maybe some people obtained knowledge from the distant stars.
"Old and cliched."
Gu Shanhai quickly determined the enemy he might face next. It was either this evil creature or the culprit that caused this crisis.
He doesn't care what the world outside St. Mary's Hospital is like, he only cares about whether he can get this technology.
When he looked up, he saw a mummy wearing a white coat embedded on the ceiling. The whole body was also covered in a lot of mucus, with one or two drops occasionally dripping.
Gu Shanhai jumped out and dug it out. After landing, further inspection found that all the water on the opponent's body had been extracted.
"It must have been the evil creature that took action, so the containment must have gone out of control." Gu Shanhai checked the body but didn't find much.
After searching for a while, I couldn't find the diary. Who would be a serious person to write a diary? Well, even if I wrote it, I wouldn't be able to carry it with me.
"But this thing's water-locking ability is a bit strong. The water inside has not evaporated yet." Gu Shanhai looked at the slime on the ground, which was still very moist.
Judging from the time of death of this researcher, it must have been at least several months. As a result, the mucus on the ground did not show any signs of drying up.
"Are you an investigator sent by the federation?" Suddenly, a voice came from the radio. The voice was a bit weird, and to Gu Shanhai's ears, it sounded like there was phlegm stuck in his throat.
"Do you want to see your ID?" Gu Shanhai said calmly.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the surveillance camera in the corridor, where the sound just now came from.
"No need, the people who can come here to save us must be from the Federation." The voice answered again.
Obviously this thing has a conversation function.
"Where are you?" Gu Shanhai asked directly without any probing. If the other party is unwilling to tell, then forget it.
"Logistics warehouse, let me show you the way." The other party didn't say much, but just one step at a time.
Gu Shanhai followed the other party's instructions and kept talking to each other on the way.
"I want to know what happened?" Gu Shanhai asked.
"The immortality plan failed, I think you should know." The voice replied.
"Sorry, I don't know. I just received the mission to rescue you. Three team members died on the first and second floors, and one is missing. The longevity plan has nothing to do with me. My mission is to take you
Leave, of course, it doesn't matter if you want to talk." Gu Shanhai said.
"We obtained a huge protoplasmic creature with extremely high intelligence. During the communication, we obtained some information from its mouth. For example, it is not a creature in our universe, but was formed due to solar particle storms.
I thought I had arrived through the gap in space.”
"Of course, physicists have objections to this, but it has nothing to do with us."
"It has an extremely long lifespan and is knowledgeable in a large amount of obscure and terrifying knowledge. We have benefited a lot and soon became the most trusted alliance. During this period, the Federation's technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it has even launched an interstellar project."
"Until it revealed its ability to live forever."
After the other party said this, he didn't continue. It was obvious that there was no need to continue talking later.
It's nothing more than breaking up and trying to get the secret of the other person's immortality.
"So, is this protoplasmic creature still here?" Gu Shanhai asked.
"Yes, we used its technology called magic to forcibly imprison it here, but in the process, we also suffered heavy losses, and many experimental subjects were released as a result, and are now wandering on the first floor and
Second floor." The other party said.
"I see. No wonder the Federation asked me to come to the rescue. This is a big project." Gu Shanhai said with a hint of ridicule.
He said this, but he was very calm in his heart. He didn't believe what the other party said at all. You, a researcher, told this to an ignorant person. Where is your sense of confidentiality?
