Chapter 188 Underground Experimental Base, Radiation Distortion
Hearing Lin Feng's answer, Ling Shuyan's eyes narrowed, and then she continued to smile:
"No problem, I'll take you there right away."
After that, Director Ling took a bag of synthetic nutrient solution from his subordinates and gulped it into his mouth.
The two operations consumed a lot of energy, especially for an absolutely strong man who was perfect in the late second stage, performing dangerous implantation operations.
Ling Shuyan chose to go down in person because she was worried that those surgeons who only had the strength of the early first stage would be panicked and tremble under the pressure of the surgeon's momentum, leading to accidents.
After drinking the nutrient solution synthesized by the institute, Ling Shuyan got up and took a few people to leave the operating floor, took the elevator on the side of the first floor, and went down all the way.
Lin Feng frowned slightly:
"Does the institute have an underground laboratory?"
When the elevator passed through the thick soil layer and the steel partitions, Lin Feng suddenly found that his telepathy could not penetrate such a bunker.
The essence of telepathy is the detection of energy waves, similar to human radar, which will be blocked and shielded when encountering an isolation layer.
Only when you are there in person can you scan the secrets hidden in this underground area.
Dozens or even hundreds of light sources appeared in Lin Feng's mind at once.
Most of the experimental subjects here are in the first stage, but in a corner at the deepest part, there is a large aggregation of light sources, just like the black-spine insect swarm detected by Lin Feng in the underground insect nest.
Although the brightness of the light source is not high, it is connected into a group.
Why gather so many experimental subjects together?
Want to select successful samples by survival of the fittest?
Lin Feng couldn't help but guess in his heart.
"This is a transformation of the previous civil air defense facilities. At the beginning, many air-raid shelters and shelters were dug in this mountain range. It happened that the research institute was located here later, so it was used on the spot and turned into an underground biological experimental base."
"It not only ensures the confidentiality of the experiment, but also prevents biochemical pollution and leakage."
While Ling Shuyan was replying, the elevator slowly stopped.
"This is the best place to conduct live experiments now. At least we don't have to worry about them escaping."
"We're here. Let's go."
Lin Feng and the other two immediately left the elevator and entered under the leadership of Ling Shuyan.
In the dim, narrow and long corridor, there was only a low-brightness light bulb every five or six meters on the wall, which made the passage very dark and suffocating.
It was the first time for Liu Yueqi to enter such an environment. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed Lin Feng's clothes. The other party looked back at her and nodded,
indicating that the girl didn't have to worry.
With him and Ling Yi here, nothing will go wrong.
Soon, after passing through a tunnel more than ten meters long, Ling Shuyan turned left and entered a dormitory area next to it.
"This used to be a large dormitory in the shelter, but later it was converted into an observation room for experimental subjects."
Ling Shuyan looked at the solid iron door that was closed beside her. It was ten centimeters thick. It was difficult for ordinary first-level early awakeners to break it open, not to mention that these experimental subjects were strictly restricted in food intake.
They were only provided with the minimum amount of food to sustain life every day. They were tired after standing up and running a few steps, let alone breaking out of the prison.
Many of them were the leaders of the forces that Han Yuxin captured when she swept the urban area of Jincheng.
They were basically late-stage enhanced people, and a dozen rare awakeners.
Several heinous awakener leaders directly became the first batch of experimental subjects for the optimization and transformation surgery.
The implantation of gene glands caused serious deformation in their bodies. Their own immunity could not suppress the genetic invasion of tiger spine worms, and more than half of their bodies showed assimilation characteristics.
In the end, they all turned into half-human, half-worm monsters.
Ling Shuyan briefly introduced them, waved her hand and called the researcher who was recording the status of each experimental subject at the front of the aisle.
A man with glasses in the early stage of the first stage.
I don’t know if it was because he stayed underground for too long or for other reasons. Under the dim light, the man’s face was red and yellow, and he looked a little malnourished.
A trace of doubt emerged in Longyi's heart, and the nearby atmosphere also made her feel uncomfortable, but she followed behind the crowd and did not make it public.
Ling Shuyan got a report from her subordinates and handed it to Lin Feng:
"This is the list of survivors in the thirty observation rooms. There are their information and photos before the transformation. See if there are any enemies she wants to find here."
"The degree of distortion is quite serious. You may not be able to recognize them just by looking at their current appearance."
Lin Feng handed the information directly to the girl behind him, and then asked:
"They are a group of escaped prisoners who were sent here by Han Yuxin. There should be survivors, right?"
Ling Shuyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"Yes, many of them killed other enhanced people and awakeners to complete their awakening."
"As a cancer, I naturally treated them well. Oh, there is one there."
Following the direction pointed by Ling Shuyan, it was the No. 9 observation room, and Liu Yueqi, who was browsing the background information at this moment, had also locked him.
Walking to the door, the man with glasses who was in charge of recording took out the key of the corresponding room number, unlocked the door at the signal of the director, and the heavy iron door slowly opened.
Lin Feng glanced over and saw a humanoid object with half of its body covered with black and red scales, lying on the wooden bed, weak and powerless. The half of its face had been completely covered by the characteristics of insects, and had pincer-shaped serrations similar to the mantis mouthparts.
He, or it, had a very weak aura, but also had the strength of an early first stage.
Lin Feng glanced at the identification results and confirmed that this was a failed experiment, but it was still fine for observing excessive assimilation in advance and collecting relevant data.
Liu Yueqi held the handle of the knife and walked into the observation room.
Her shoulders were shaking slightly, her back molars were clenched up and down, and the anger in her eyes was as real as ever, even turning into blood red.
Even if the other party is completely transformed into a bug-man monster, the girl can confirm from his eyes that he is the group of desperadoes who destroyed her family in the first place.
There was just a tearing sound, and the blade of Qian Zhan Dao reflected a breathtaking light and shadow under the dim light.
Then there was a crisp knocking and cracking sound, mixed with a hoarse wail, which lasted for dozens of seconds.
When Liu Yueqi shook off the remaining blood on the blade, sheathed the knife, turned around and left...
The deformed insect man on the wooden board behind him has been turned into dozens of parts.
The girl did not look back, but looked at Director Ling calmly:
"Any more?"
Ling Shuyan frowned slightly:
"There is another one next door, but the others are gone."
Within three minutes, when Liu Yueqi left the second observation room, her face showed no relief that her great revenge had been avenged, but a hint of disappointment.
Even these two bloody enemies have upgraded her accumulated life energy.
Lin Feng asked:
"What? The main culprit, their leader is not here?"
Liu Yueqi nodded:
"There are three main ones, not here."
Lin Feng looked at Ling Shuyan and asked Liu Yueqi to briefly describe the names, nicknames, and physical features of the three of them.
After hearing this, Ling Shuyan narrowed her eyes slightly and shook her head:
"Sorry, all three of them died on the operating table. But don't worry, the deformation and pain caused by the gene implantation surgery is not something ordinary people can bear. Their deaths were tortured and not easy."
These words obviously did not have much consoling effect.
The reason why an enemy is called an enemy is that he must retaliate with his own hands. Only by watching him die with eyes open can he calm down the anger in his heart.
The girl just nodded slightly and then prepared to leave.
"etc!"
At this time, a voice came from behind everyone.
The steps Ling Shuyan had taken were obviously paused, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, she turned back and said with a smile:
"Anything else, Miss Lin. Are you also interested in this underground experimental base?"
Zhi Yi, who interrupted everyone, smiled:
"That's right. But I think there should be more than just these experimental subjects here."
Ling Shuyan's pupils shrank sharply, and she thought of various possibilities for a moment, thinking about how to respond to the cross-examination of the woman in front of her.
Many excuses and cover-up lies gradually took shape in Ling Shuyan's mind...
But she responded quickly.
He soon realized that when facing two peak second-level awakened beings, once suspicion arose, there would be no room for lies.
Not to mention that at this moment, in the corner of his vision, he could already detect Lin Feng's questioning look.
The other party obviously noticed something.
In the lightning room, after many struggles, Ling Shuyan chose to nod and admit:
"Yes, the observation room is full of experimental subjects that still have a little bit of self-awareness and still maintain a complete human form. As for other over-assimilated aberrations, they are not human-like at all, so I didn't take everyone there to visit..."
"Those experimental subjects have lost their reason and consciousness and can only be regarded as a bug or a pile of moving flesh."
Ling Shuyan then looked at the girl who turned around:
"I think Miss Liu doesn't want to see such a weird and horrifying scene. It can easily leave a psychological shadow..."
Liu Yueqi took a deep breath:
"Are any of those, those monsters, with this group of fugitives?"
Ling Shuyan nodded, then shook her head:
"Yes. Part of it."
Liu Yueqi didn't quite understand, so Lin Feng asked:
"Part of it? What do you mean?"
Ling Shuyan looked at her subordinate who had pulled a trolley and was about to clean the observation room:
"It can't be explained clearly in a few words. If you really want to see it, you can go there together. However, you must wear chemical protective clothing in advance to avoid biochemical infection."
Lin Feng frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart:
"Is it so serious? We are all awakened people, so we have some resistance, right?"
Ling Shuyan shook her head and did not explain:
"You'll know then."
After the staff cleaned up the remains left behind after killing Liu Yueqi, they pushed the loaded cart into the other direction of the underground laboratory, and everyone followed.
On the other side of the fork in the road, they put on yellow chemical protective clothing and the eye-catching skull warning sign made Lin Feng and others more suspicious.
Soon, after walking through several large laboratories, several people came to a dark space.
The staff turned on the lights, and in the dim red and green lights, they saw a bunch of cages holding several completely deformed and terrifying insect-shaped monsters.
They have completely lost their human appearance. Some of them are covered with insect joints, or a whole piece of insect beetles has condensed on their backs. What's more, their legs have been fused together to form a new abdomen, and there is an extra pair of them on the back. wing.
Although the strength of this group of monsters is only in the early stage of the first level, the aura they unleash far exceeds the half-body distortion experimental subjects in the observation room before.
The staff threw pieces of meat from the cart to them.
The insect monster, which had been hungry for several days, began to devour it with its sharp fangs.
It would be okay if it was just like this, but as everyone went deeper, the cage that came into view became larger and larger, and the insect monsters inside began to become all kinds of strange.
The most important feature is the irregular distortion that covers the whole body.
Some monsters even grew three or four heads, and their limbs grew randomly everywhere, like random fabricated flesh statues.
In fact, such monsters cannot survive at all. There seems to be some mysterious force that maintains their activity.
The most uncomfortable thing is the way they eat when they are alive.
Because they have no mouths or mouthparts, these monsters can only adopt direct fusion methods after touching food, gluing the pieces of meat thrown in front of them to their bodies.
Then a human head fell next to them.
The human head, whose nerves were reconnected, let out an extremely painful roar, but with the invasion of foreign cells, it gradually swallowed up the flesh and blood of the smooth neck...
The human face began to become extremely distorted, and the appearance that emerged was not at all like the expressions that normal people could make. It was more terrifying and ferocious than the grimace. The facial features were as if they had been put into a blender, crushed and put back together again.
Not long after, it was assimilated into one body, and the entire head condensed into a red shell, becoming another tumor on the monster's body.
Lin Feng, who had always felt that he could withstand it well, couldn't help but feel a chill. Liu Yueqi, who was following behind him, felt even more upset in his stomach.
Even through the breathing filter, you can smell the bloody stench permeating the area.
Ling Shuyan stopped and turned around:
"Do you want to continue? There's only one left."
Lin Feng did not respond, but glanced at Xie Yi.
The other party nodded, and the voice coming out through the mask was buzzing and trilling:
"Although this group of bugs looks strange, they all have the common characteristic of fiery red armor..."
"Including your staff here, all have similar slight distortions. I think they all come from the huge guy in the deepest place, right?"
After hearing the truth told by Zhiyi, Ling Shuyan's expression immediately changed and her breathing gradually became heavier.
The spitted water vapor clung to the plastic mask, making it difficult to see the look of surprise and confusion behind it.
"Let's go, if we don't solve it, that thing will turn this place into a hell on earth!"
"Fortunately, the proliferation has not reached the third stage, otherwise the doomsday suffering that will befall mankind will be aggravated by several percent..."
Ignoring Ling Shuyan's explanation, Zhiyi said as he led Lin Feng, pushing away the staff in front who did not dare to step forward, and entered the depths of darkness.
Only balls of fire lit up in the darkness, followed by high-frequency, ear-piercing screams.
It made the others cover their ears in discomfort, and the monster in the iron cage nearby even broke apart and oozed blood.
A few minutes later, the two figures slowly emerged.
Lin Feng's chemical protective suit had torn off, revealing the flying tiger armor underneath. He held the electromagnetic gun with white smoke still floating around the muzzle, looked at the distracted Ling Shuyan, and spoke in a low and powerful tone:
"This kind of mutation is called genetic radiation. It comes from the artistic conception ability of fourth-order cosmic life. It can distort the genes of nearby creatures through its own energy radiation, causing them to grow their own biological characteristics..."
"Red beetles are very dangerous. Even the Zerg are not sure of controlling them. Humans should stop playing with fire."
The amount of information in these words instantly overturned Ling Shuyan's outlook on life. She recovered from the heartache of losing an important experimental subject, looked at Lin Feng, and gritted her teeth:
"What do you know? Why do humans know nothing about these things? Is it really related to your mother?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Feng's face, but he did not directly respond to the woman's question and continued:
"In short, gene fusion is just like genetic warriors. It is very dangerous. I hope this kind of thing will not be done without authorization in the future."
"Because no one knows what kind of disaster this will bring to humans and Blue Star."
"If you have any questions, let's talk about it tonight."
"I'm hungry, it's time to eat."
After finishing speaking, Lin Feng put away the electromagnetic gun, looked at Liu Yueqi who had not recovered yet, and patiently explained:
"It's full of living rotten flesh, and there are probably body parts of those people..."
"But with your current strength, you can't get close yet. When you are promoted to a second-level awakener, I will explain the reasons behind this in detail."
"Let's go, it's all over."
Liu Yueqi nodded as if she understood. It happened that she didn't want to stay anymore, so she followed Lin Feng and left the place directly.
Ling Shuyan was left behind, looking at the backs of several people...
He stood there stunned.
