under the tower

They stand in the transparent glass elevator that rises slowly in the Pearl Tower.

The entire Shencheng base had a panoramic view of the night.

Not far away, the small artistic four-story house with green creepers and red brick walls has been completely blown up, leaving only a soot-steaming ruin.

They watched all that quietly.

Chang Huai said: "It's a pity that there are so many games, I haven't had time to clear all of them yet."

Ji Xi sighed lightly: "Forget it." He said, "If it's gone, it's gone."

After the system was invaded by the virus, the entire Pearl Tower was in a commotion and fell into a state of surveillance stagnation. With a "ding", the elevator opened, and the 88th floor arrived.

It was night, and the entire laboratory was pitch black, and the lights were not turned on. However, everyone dared not relax and tried their best to make no noise.

The entire central laboratory has an entire floor, and countless advanced and high-end instruments filled the room where they entered. Ji Xi was very familiar with this place, and he would come here after a while to undergo genetic examination and gamma threshold measurement.

At this moment, the floor suddenly shook, as if something was moving and making a crashing sound.

Ji Xi was taken aback, wondering if there was someone hiding in the laboratory?

He heard the sound and searched, only to find a small hidden door on the right side of the laboratory, from where the sound just now came from.

Ji Xi walked over, and a trace of cold air came out along the crack of the door.

An extremely ominous premonition suddenly sounded in his heart, at this moment, the latch snapped open, and the door opened automatically.

Yingying light came out from the room, Ji Xi stood there, the blood in his whole body froze completely in an instant.

There are huge glass cultivation cabins inside, and electronic warning lights are flashing in each cabin, and countless intricate wires are connected together. Perhaps because of a system error, they began to sound alarms, and the red and blue lights alternated. flashing.

And in those huge training cabins filled with opaque and transparent liquids, there are super deformed people at least five times the size of human beings with terrifying gray skin suspended!

The appearance of those deformed people... was exactly the same as the monsters he and Yan Yi had encountered in the wild!

Ji Xi couldn't believe his eyes, he would always remember that horrible and treacherous night all his life.

Those things... extremely dangerous.

Even Ji Xi's pupils were trembling, and one of the deformed people had already shown signs of awakening. It half-opened its muddy and blood-red eyes in the culture fluid, and kept beating the glass cover with its sharp claws, struggling continuously. The wires connected to the body around it were so hideous that they smashed the entire training cabin.

There are about a dozen identical training cabins around, and the indicator lights of those cabins are constantly flashing at an abnormal frequency...

"Drip-drip-drip-!"

The sharp sirens kept ringing above their heads, Ji Xi staggered and slammed the door, his legs gave way, and he sat on the ground, gasping for breath, covered in cold sweat.

His mind was in utter chaos, his nerves were all melted together like burnt wires, he looked around and shouted: "Yan Yi!"

At this moment, Chang Huai, A You, Yan Yi and Mao Hei didn't know where they went.

Ji Xi's heart was beating extremely fast, he ran fast, and found Yan Yi and Mao Hei in a storage room full of experimental medicines and droppers.

"Let's go!" Those super mutants who are about to wake up will leave the training cabin at some point, Ji Xi said anxiously, "It's not safe here..."

Mao Hei flicked through the experimental materials on the floor angrily, muttering to himself: "No, no, neither."

"Damn it!" he cursed, "Where is it hidden!"

Yan Yi's face was gloomy, and he said calmly: "Go out first." He looked at Ji Xi, "What's wrong?"

Bottles of overturned droppers smashed to the ground, mixed and flowed together and turned into a dirty color, and the air exuded the unique pungent smell of reagents.

The three covered their noses and left quickly.

Ji Xi pulled them out, and happened to see Chang Huai, who was carrying Ah You on his back, appear out of nowhere, and stretched out his hand to push open the small door that Ji Xi had just closed.

The movement inside the door became louder and louder, and the floor of the entire laboratory was rattling.

"Don't open—" Ji Xi shouted anxiously, but it was already too late.

The iron door was opened by a huge force, and a huge, wet deformed man rushed out towards Ah You, scratched his body with a claw, and tore a hole in his clothes, and when the chest was cut, a deep hole could be seen. Bone bloodstains.

But Ayou, as if he couldn't feel the pain, took a step back with Chang Huai on his back, and threw out a throwing knife.

Chang Huai's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if he wanted to kill someone with hatred.

After seeing the dozens of training cabins with deformed people in that room, Mao Hei's expression became terribly frightening in an instant: "Bastards... have raised so many, and they are not afraid of getting burned!

Chang Huai threw down a sheet of information, and said with a grim expression: "What am I supposed to be! The entire tower is closed at the bottom, all of which are stuff like this!"

Ji Xi glanced at the piece of paper that fell on the ground, and saw a few words written on it.

"...Laboratory finished product, improved type of distortion 297...largely applied...

Quantity: 3700

Live samples are stored in warehouse W01-50 in the basement, please keep them safe. "

Ji Xi's mind suddenly flashed the closed barn door by the road when they came.

He couldn't imagine that more than 3000 of the same super abnormal humans were all hidden under this towering tower.

That is definitely no different from the destructive power of any nuclear bomb!Enough to devour all surviving humans alive!

What happened during the year he left?

Mao Hei fired a shot at the thing, and the thing dodged very quickly, the bullet flew past the temple, the monster roared and rushed towards them.

Ji Xi was extremely anxious.

The house leak happens to be raining all night, and these aberrant experimental subjects are alarmed at this time...

With such a big commotion, how could they not attract pursuers?

There were only five of them, and they were carrying a crippled Chang Huai. They were hard to beat with two fists and four hands. If they were found by the patrol soldiers in the tower, they would definitely die.

Ji Xi rolled around on the ground, pushed Mao Hei who was still entangled, and shouted: "Let's go, leave it alone!"

The roots of Maohei's teeth were about to bite and bleed, and his muscles were tense, but he refused to move, and insisted on fighting the super deformed body to the end.

"...No, no." He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and said with difficulty, "I haven't found it yet... If we go back like this, the rest of our brothers..."

"What exactly are you looking for?!" Ji Xi hurriedly asked, "I am most familiar with the research library, I'll go—"

"Boom!!"

At this moment, a roar exploded at their feet, the sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer, the alarm lights of the entire laboratory buzzed, and all the lights suddenly turned on!

Ji Xi exhausted all her strength to push them to the nearest staircase.

"Too late!" he shouted, "someone is coming!"

In an instant or a millisecond, Ji Xi felt that his blood was boiling hot to the point of steaming, and he did three things in succession at the same moment.

One, he turned on his own intelligent system, closed the door of the central laboratory before the authorization was about to expire, and cut off all external signals.

Second, he mobilized his abilities to the extreme, and blocked the fatal blow of the flying deformed claw with his body.

Three, he opened all the escape passages, and then after the others had entered the passage first, he used his own authority to hang a string of unsolvable secret keys, and tightly closed the entrance of the passage.

The next moment, Ji Xi wanted to leave, but it was too late.

Officers and soldiers with machine guns poured in, and the mad deformed man tore Ji Xi's back with sharp claws, leaving streaks of dripping blood, and the transfer door of the passageway was slowly closed under the command.

Ji Xi firmly blocked the entrance, and all the silver scales on his body spread out, covering half of his face in a cold silvery white.

"Let's go," he said.

He looked affectionately at Yan Yi who was not far away, his eyes were so beautiful, especially when he stared at a person with such emotional eyes, it was a beauty unmatched by any mortal thing or miracle .

Crystal drops of water filled the eye sockets, but they refused to fall.

He stubbornly stared at Yan Yi's face without blinking, cherishing the last face extremely, as if he wanted to imprint the man's face that haunted him forever and firmly in the last moment of his life.

"Yan Yi, you know." He said softly, "I can die for you."

At that moment, the man's always calm face showed a look of panic. He stretched out his hand and ran over, as if he wanted to stop Ji Xi.

Everything is too late.

With a sound of "Boom—" and with a heavy sound, the door of the escape passage was completely closed in front of him.

Ji Xi breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, smiled, and calmly welcomed her own ending.

...At least, they left without incident.

"Bang bang!" There were gunshots behind him.

In the next second, the expected pain did not come.

Ji Xi opened his eyes in surprise, and the deformed body that had been pierced through the head fell to the ground, its huge body twitched, and fell heavily on the ground like a hill.

"...Master Xiao Ji?"

A young man's voice came from behind him.

Ji Xi turned her head, startled for a moment.

Surrounded by officers and soldiers, the visitor was wearing a white coat. He adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Ji Xi frowned, he seemed to have seen this person before, Dr. Lin, one of the heads of the research institute.

Dr. Lin looked at him carefully, and said slowly: "You actually slipped back by yourself." He smiled meaningfully, "...it really took no effort at all."

His smile seemed friendly, but inexplicably made people feel sinister.

A bad premonition suddenly arose in Ji Xi's heart.

However, under heavy siege, he has nowhere to escape, he is just a turtle in a urn.

In the next second, Dr. Lin pulled out a stun gun from his pocket and aimed a shot at Ji Xi's forehead.

"—Little boy, don't move."

A severe pain and numbness spread across his body, Ji Xi's muscles twitched, his eyes turned black, and he stared fixedly at Dr. Lin's half-smile face.

Then, he lost consciousness.
