Chapter 443: Heavy Punch
Relying on the power of props, Chu Zihang and his team passed through the most dangerous area without any danger.
But the closer they got to the white palace, the more uncertain they felt. It felt like they were naked and surrounded by countless wild beasts, which made them feel creepy from the bottom of their hearts.
Unlike the hustle and bustle they imagined, the palace was extremely quiet. Although there were lights on in some places in the corridor, no one could be seen.
Many places here have been modernized, which has destroyed the beauty and coordination of the overall building. There are even dozens of trucks parked in the open space between the courtyards.
Without taking off the stone hats on their heads, Lu Mingfei and his three companions carefully walked along the corridor into the depths of the palace, and their footsteps were extremely light.
To be honest, they would rather see a scene full of hustle and bustle and enemies, or a dark scene. A scene like this, which is brightly lit but empty, is a bit too weird.
Because there was no one in the palace, their infiltration was much smoother than they had imagined. They had brought a pass to prevent any important places from being inaccessible, but they found that the prop was useless here because the doors of all the rooms were ajar... at least the rooms they had come all the way to were.
The lights were on in these rooms, and on some tables, you could see a cup of coffee or a half-eaten sandwich, but you couldn't see any human figures.
Finally, when the invasion progress reached 1/3, they saw the first human they met on this trip... if that kind of thing can still be called a human.
This seems to be a place similar to an aquarium, with huge water tanks everywhere. The tanks are made of glass, and the glass walls are made of hundreds of pieces of glass about one square meter in size. In the middle is a narrow metal frame, and light strips are welded around the tank, emitting a faint blue light.
Originally, Lu Mingfei was just curious to look inside the box, wanting to see what was in so many water tanks, but he didn't expect that this action attracted the attention of the things inside. With the turbid water flowing in the box, a human face suddenly hit the glass wall, which scared him.
The movement he caused attracted the attention of more things, so after the initial pale face, one after another human face stuck to the glass wall, staring at them blankly through the glass.
Their faces were so pale that they looked like floating corpses that had been floating in the sea for dozens of days. A group of fish with human faces just peeked at their human world through the glass, some with expressionless faces, and some with raised corners of their mouths, as if smiling.
Looking at the things in the water tank, they subconsciously held their breath, and Chu Zihang and the other two took two steps back silently.
When they saw these human-faced fish, they realized belatedly what this place was.
——This is the breeding laboratory for those deadpools.
Unlike the semi-mechanized Deadpools in the city below, the Deadpools living in the water tanks are still flesh and blood. Most of them have long tails and scales, and some of them even have incredible organs attached to their bodies.
If you don't look at the lower half of these Deadpools, and only look at their faces, no one will associate them with monsters. Some of them are handsome, some are beautiful, with long hair scattered in the water, and with beautiful faces, they look hazy at first glance.
But if you look down, you can find that their bodies from the neck down have been mostly deformed, and the lower body is even fused into a python-like tail, and the remains of the feet can be vaguely seen.
...Snake-shaped Deadpool, this is exactly the monster that Chu Zihang saw on the hillside at the beginning.
There are no less than dozens of such monsters in a water tank, and here, there are at least hundreds of water tanks.
"...The smuggling ships back then."
In this dead silence, Chu Zihang suddenly spoke coldly.
"The hybrids carried on the smuggling ships are not cargo, but experimental subjects used here. The man named Herzog has mastered the technology of using hybrids to artificially create Deadpool."
"So these are all victims who have been smuggled..."
Subconsciously holding the wild goose in his hand tightly, Lu Mingfei exhaled heavily.
He did not know Herzog, and he had no feelings for him, but now, he did have the intention to kill him.
"Sacrifice? That is the ladder that helps us move to the next level."
Quite abruptly, a voice broadcasted by the radio suddenly came over their heads. The other party spoke in Chinese, and the words were full of hatred.
"Long time no see, you are here as expected. Since you are here, then accept this great gift I give you first!!"
"???"
Before Chu Zihang and the others could figure out who the person who was talking to himself on the radio was, a slight explosion sounded from in front of them the moment the voice fell on the radio.
Dense cracks ran through the entire glass wall from top to bottom, and the metal frames supporting them quickly twisted and deformed. In just half a second, the originally thick glass wall in front of them was shaky.
Caesar was the first one to react among the three. When he heard the sound of dense glass cracking coming from the surroundings, he immediately dragged the two people beside him and ran towards the exit.
Amid the loud sound of the glass wall breaking behind him, the water flow sprayed dozens of meters away under the huge water pressure, pouring all over them.
Just when they ran to the door, dozens of water tanks in the room behind them collapsed completely at the same time, and tens of thousands of tons of water broke through the glass wall, carrying an unknown number of human-faced fish.
This was both a deadly frenzy and a deadly beauty. The falling glass bricks in the dark blue light curtain reflected the ice-like light, and the black shadows like dragons and snakes flew in the light... It was so beautiful that it was like the end of the world.
"Are you still watching? Run away quickly!!"
He pulled Lu Mingfei hard, and while running back along the way he came, Caesar quickly took out the bamboo dragonfly from his pocket and put it on his head.
Not only did their infiltration plan fail, but they were also plotted against by an unknown person. If they hadn't run fast, they would have been playing happily in the water with those human-faced fish.
It was not difficult to hear from the hatred in that person's voice that the other party seemed to have a deep hatred for one of them... But the problem was that they had no idea who the other party was.
"There's no need to run. Going back now will be useless. It's better to fight your way out. They're just some snake-like deadpools."
He jumped up and stood on the wall to avoid the surging water. Chu Zihang pulled out Murasame, with a concise look on his face.
"These deadpools haven't been modified and can't use guns."
