City-wide ban

To be honest, Qi Luyao belongs to the very brave category in Omega.Swinging corpses with one hand, twisting heads with bare hands? They didn't do it less, and their courage even surpassed most of Alphas.

But this time, he looked at the dark room, and the inexplicable fear almost strangled his throat.

He hated the feeling of being so accurate recently? It made him feel sick, it would make him lose his nerve in advance, and he lost before he even started.

"Are you afraid?" Xia Xinghe asked softly, as if he could feel the scorching scent of black orchid in the air.

He kept staring at the room where the rustling sound came from, and kept his whole body on high alert, but quietly stopped people behind him with his hands.

Qi Luyao is a frank and seldom show off person, he immediately grabbed Xia Xinghe's wrist: "Yes."

The corners of Xia Xinghe's mouth raised slightly, and he quickly regained his vigilance: "If you are afraid, then stay here and wait for me."

Of course, Qi Luyao couldn't agree: "I'm even more afraid when I'm alone. You can walk in front of me. If something happens, you can stand in the way."

Xia Xinghe, who was taken for granted as a tool man, choked lightly, but when he turned around to savor carefully, he forcibly tasted a hint of sweetness——

No? That's right, my brother still relies on me, he needs me, that's great.

Xia Xinghe, who quickly prepared himself mentally, subconsciously touched the back of his waist—although this movement was not as skillful as Xia Xinghe's last time, Qi Luyao could also tell that it had been trained.

On the night of Christmas Eve, Xia Xinghe told himself that he had taught him a lot of self-defense skills when he came back last time, and the memories engraved in his muscles will never be forgotten, not to mention that he is such an excellent learner.

The two people were distracted, but the steps under their feet did not delay for a moment.

The location they are in now is similar to the hall corridor. There are not many furnishings, and it is almost impossible to see the specific structure of this underground space.

"Is this the biochemical laboratory?" Xia Xinghe stood at the door of the room, looking at the pitch-black space, feeling a little horrified.

Qi Luyao was also suffering from shortness of breath. He pawed the door with both hands, almost pulling the lock off.

He is a clinician, and most of his daily contact is with surgical instruments. There are not many opportunities to deal with this kind of large biological machinery, but he can more or less guess the usefulness of those things.

Before coming here, the electricity should still be on continuously, and there is still cold air in the air. The blasting of the external inspection obviously broke the power supply here.

At the side, the dimly lit instruments that were supposed to be on all of them maintained strange postures because of the sudden stop at this time——

The manipulator that opens and closes halfway, the centrifuge that spins halfway, the mechanical tube that hovers in mid-air...

What made Qi Luyao feel the most depressing was the rows of bottles and cans that were almost two people tall beside him.

Each jar was covered with a layer of white cloth. Qi Luyao couldn’t see the labels and contents clearly because of the pitch-black field of vision. They stood on both sides, like statues of ghosts and gods in temples overlooking all living beings. angry.

Qi Luyao's limbs were locked in fear, just walking through this pair of instruments, he felt like he was about to die, so don't even mention to uncover those cloths to find out.

The sound just now should have come from nearby, but it was only a slight sound. If the two didn't mention it, they would even think it was their own illusion.

Seeing the dead silence in front of him, Qi Luyao began to deceive himself again: "...is it a mouse?"

Xia Xinghe shook his head: "I don't think so."

Qi Luyao wanted to kill him now.

Xia Xinghe looked back at Qi Luyao, then picked up the barrel of the gun: "If you are afraid, close your eyes, let me see what's inside..."

"Wow..." Before Qi Luyao finished speaking, there was a broken voice in front of Qi Luyao.

Qi Luyao couldn't help gasping, looked down and found that he had kicked a piece of broken glass.

"There is a broken jar here." Xia Xinghe bent down, fearing that Qi Luyao would step on the broken pieces and scratch him, so he hugged the man back and looked at the puddle of liquid under the glass slag on the ground, "It's the nutrient solution. It's all poured out."

Qi Luyao bowed his head. The colorless and odorless viscous liquid is a kind of soaking solution that can maintain biological activity. It can directly supply oxygen to the culture under the condition of electricity.

Apparently, the power outage caused the oxygen content of the liquid to drop significantly, and there was something in it, which should have broken the glass cover under the extreme anoxic condition and rushed out.

Xia Xinghe pricked up his ears to listen to the movement, and concluded, "That thing probably hasn't come out yet."

After walking a few more steps, the smell of formalin became stronger and stronger.

Until the two of them came to a somewhat large square glass jar, Qi Luyao, who felt that his taste was rather heavy, stretched out his hand, and suddenly removed the black cloth covering the glass jar——

"!!" Following Xia Xinghe's gasp, Qi Luyao quickly covered him again.

In just a glimpse, Qi Luyao saw a distorted face stuck to the glass tank. He didn't dare to look closely, but only remembered that the color was frighteningly pale under the light of the flashlight.

And soaking with that thing, there seems to be a piece of white brain, a heart with blood vessels not cut clean, and intestines that are kneading together and about to form a knot...

Obviously, this is a jar for soaking corpses. Although Qi Luyao has a strong taste, it must be that distorted face that faintly touched some nerve in him, only to make him feel sick for a while.

"Don't look..." Qi Luyao was about to hold down Xia Xinghe's hand that was stretched towards Nabu.

At this time, there was a muffled sound of "bang bang" from the bottle behind him—obviously, something was hitting the wall of the can!

Qi Luyao was very afraid of the things hidden behind the cloth, but the sound of the bang bang made him even more uneasy.

Just when he looked at Xia Xinghe, who owed you, and tried to instigate that person to find out, a black figure flew straight past them, knocked over a row of small jars, and got under a cabinet not far away.

"Bang!" A heart-piercing crisp sound pierced through his eardrums.

The soaked human tissue, the petri dish covered with spots, and the half bottle of reagents were all smashed to the ground, creating huge waves in the quiet and eerie environment.

Qi Luyao endured it and didn't curse, but Xia Xinghe reacted faster than him, holding his arm with one hand, while rushing towards the cabinet with almost lightning speed.

"Crack! Wow!"

The bullet was loaded, the cabinet was opened, and the black shadow was pulled out. There was no jamming from the beginning to the end.

In the darkness, Qi Luyao only heard a shallow sob, and then, he heard Xia Xinghe holding his breath.

"Uh...uh..."

Qi Luyao heard an unclear voice behind him, a bright light flashed from behind, and Xia Xinghe turned on the flashlight.

"Fuck." He heard Xia Xinghe swearing at someone. This person's swearing meant something? It's really not good, but at this moment, he didn't even dare to turn his head back.

"Brother, you..."

Xia Xinghe patted Qi Luyao who was already frozen in place. It seemed that this action gave the thing in his hand an opportunity to sneak past him.

But at this time, that thing was also obviously extremely flustered, running around aimlessly throughout the laboratory, tearing off the covering cloth on the bottle and jar.

And looking back at those bottles and jars, in addition to the soaked brains, there are also embryos buried in the nutrient solution. Besides, in the tall and big jars of those people, every one is soaked? A living person with catheters all over his body.

The age ranges from infants, children, to teenagers, and the oldest one is also slightly younger than Qi Luyao.

Everyone is soaked in the jar, it seems that it is due to lack of oxygen due to power outage, the child on the far side has started to be restless, he is rolling in the nutrient solution? It seems that he will die from drowning at any time.

"Ah! Ah!" The scream of that thing echoed in the room, and Xia Xinghe quickly reached out to capture it again.

"Brother, look." Xia Xinghe placed the thing in front of him again, Qi Lu couldn't help but see the face of the thing in his eyes.

Soon, he also gasped. Like Xia Xinghe just now, he was deeply shocked and couldn't extricate himself.

The thing in front of me, isn't it? It's a mouse or a cat, but a thin and small boy.

His body seems to be very weak, he doesn't seem very intelligent, and he can only make monosyllabic sounds.

Only a piece of white cloth was torn off from the boy's body. His hair was still wet. It was obvious that he had just escaped from the broken jar.

At this time, Qi Luyao's fingertips were completely cold, and Xia Xinghe's trembling voice was still thinking in his ears:

"Brother, he looks...why...?"

Qi Luyao looked at the boy's face, his brain has been disconnected since he pulled off the rows of white cloth? He wanted to scream, but he could only stare blankly at the boy's dark eyes, Can't do anything else.

This boy—or rather, much more than this boy.

All the people in this room, from babies to teenagers, have very similar facial features, they are completely different age stages of the same person.

They closed their eyes tightly, curled up in the nutrient solution, and looked extremely painful because of the lack of oxygen.

On the far right, a young experimental subject in his 20s seems to be half awake? He uses his fists, head, and even his whole body to smash into the thick glass jar desperately, and seems to be on the verge of madness.

This reminded him of the corpse soaked in formalin just now. Although the face was distorted, it could clearly see the very obvious facial features—this should be an experimental subject that died accidentally and was made into a specimen. .

Qi Luyao has seen the scene in front of him in many movies, but the answer to everything lies in their almost identical faces.

Amidst a burst of buzzing, Xia Xinghe's voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, telling Qi Luyao, no wonder you are so flustered——

"Brother...they look...why do they look so much like you...?"

There are nearly a hundred of them raised in pots, soaked in formalin pools, living, dead, and incomplete...

All Qiluyao.
