"Try contacting her again. Maybe Li Tao didn't hear us just now."
Xu Wei whispered to Bai Xiaoke with hope in her eyes.
The few of them who had been working together since the beginning of the competition were unsurprisingly assigned to a small team. At this moment, the four women and the gigolo had just sneaked into a park filled with low, snow-white buildings.
The communication device, which was a wristband that everyone in the Garden of Eden had, was a valuable resource for evolved humans. There were more than ten teams, and each team only had one communication device. Under Xueqin's guidance, each team was saved into the contact list.
As Li Tao wanted to go to the black tower alone, they had to steal a communication device for her. Not only did they waste a lot of time, but they couldn't contact her now.
"How could she not hear the vibrating thing on her wrist?" Dong Haohao used her usual sharp tone to rebut, "I think she might have encountered an emergency … She better not run away!"
The honest Xu Wei immediately shut up awkwardly. After a while, she stammered, "Sigh, you're thinking too much, how could that be …"
Bai Xiaoke, who was squeezed in between them, rolled her eyes. She glanced at Xueqin and saw that the latter was silent and not moving. Nobody knew what she was thinking.
Xueqin only came back to her senses after Xu Wei directed the gigolo to stab her a few times. She frowned and looked at them, "Regarding the black tower, we can only wait for Li Tao's reply. Let's not think about it for now. But now … what should we do? "
The three women instantly fell silent. After a pause, Xu Wei glanced behind her with a slightly timid expression.
They were hiding behind a small house. If they poked their heads out, they would be able to see the vast Garden of Eden Laboratory.
Although it was called "Laboratory", there were more than ten buildings in the so-called Laboratory Park. They were square, with smooth surfaces and sharp edges. It was hard to tell where the doors and windows were. Only the buildings, which were made of unknown materials, glowed with a faint metallic luster in the night sky. It was as if there were more than ten emotionless robotic beasts lying in the dark, spying on the human world.
From time to time, a red line would shoot down from the top of the building, quickly penetrating the black air as if it was scanning. More than ten red lines crisscrossed and spread out, leaving almost no blind spots. Although they did not know the specific use of the Red Line, no one dared to rashly be shot by it. The few of them observed outside for a while and finally found such a hiding place with great difficulty.
But even though this place was safe, However, it was useless. The nearest laboratory building was at least a few hundred meters away. Staying here was no different from staying on the road.
The team's mission was to destroy a factory that manufactured anti-radiation suits. However, they came here to try their luck and look for Lin Sanjiu. Now, they were stuck in a dilemma.
"Let's destroy this place!" Bai Xiaoke's eyebrows shot up, and a vicious aura radiated from her. "Doesn't it matter where I destroy? This disaster is much bigger than the factory! "
"Lin Sanjiu had told me not to let them come." Xu Wei wanted to say something, but she shut her mouth after glancing at her friends. For those who had participated in the Lunar New Year Tournament, the Garden of Eden Laboratory made them feel a physical disgust. Very soon, the suggestion was unanimously approved.
"Listen up," Xueqin said. In the few seconds between the red lines, the few of them approached a building cautiously and quickly. At the same time, they heard Xueqin say, "There are a lot of strange things in the laboratory. We might be able to use some of them, but there are also some that are specially designed to deal with us …"
As they spoke, the roof of the building lit up with a "whoosh". In the next second, the place where they were standing was about to be swept by the red beam. Just as they were about to jump out of their skin, Bai Xiaoke quickly took out the nameplate she had gotten from the guard at the door and scanned it on the smooth wall to see if she could get a hold of it.
It was a white metallic surface. Lines of words immediately appeared, and the red line stopped abruptly in front of the wall.
"Thank goodness that short-lived b * stard didn't lie," Dong Haohao heaved a sigh of relief.
After confirming the information on the nameplate again, the wall finally slid open silently. It revealed a foyer. The few of them rushed in with their weapons already in their hands.
As soon as they stepped on the floor of the foyer, the soft milky white light lit up, illuminating the clean, snow-white space with strange lines. It was as if the building was gradually coming to life.
The few of them glanced at the empty foyer, not knowing what this place was for. Bai Xiaoke squatted down and touched the floor. Her tone suddenly became gloomy, "What is this material … I wonder if it can be burned?"
Xueqin immediately scoffed at such a simple and outdated idea, "The laboratory is such an important place, there must be an automatic fire extinguishing system. Don't think about burning it. Let's take a look at the corridor, everyone be careful."
Even though she was just a "commoner" in the Garden of Eden, she knew more than these foreign posthumans.
If they had to compare, the laboratory building was a bit like a hospital. However, when they looked through the glass on the door, it was different — some of them were filled with instruments, and some of them had a few large petri dishes. Xueqin walked a few rounds, not knowing what she was looking for. Bai Xiaoke ordered the escort to follow her step by step.
"Strange, there must be an alarm system in this place, where is it …" she mumbled to Bai Xiaoke.
Just as she finished her sentence, a loud bang came from behind them, almost causing their hearts to skip a beat. They turned around and saw Xu Wei's two fists were emitting a faint white light. Before Xueqin could stop her, Dong Haohao shouted, "Smash it again!" Dong Haohao shouted, "Smash it again!" and hit the door again. With a loud bang, the door finally opened.
Xueqin's heart sank, but the ear-piercing alarm that she expected did not sound.
She looked at Bai Xiaoke in confusion, but Xu Wei and Dong Haohao had already walked in excitedly. Just as they were about to follow, Xueqin suddenly felt her body become shorter, and she almost slipped off the escort's back.
"Ah, it took too long, and I've become shorter again!" Bai Xiaoke stopped in her tracks and clicked her tongue in pity. "I'm less than 1.6 meters now, and it looks like I can't hold on for another ten minutes …"
Instead of being carried, it was more like being dragged. Xueqin was anxious to go in and have a look, so she hurriedly replied, "Then, call another one out …"
Bai Xiaoke rolled her eyes, but the words "it's not that easy" were still in her mouth. Suddenly, she stopped.
Because the corridor was strangely quiet at this moment.
If it wasn't for the occasional broken pieces that fell to the ground, she would have thought that no one had been here. As for Xu Wei and Dong Haohao, they had not made a sound. She and Xueqin looked at each other. They rushed to the door.
There was almost nothing in the room, except for a few round metal openings on the ceiling, and a thick layer of light yellow, transparent gelatinous substance on the floor. What shocked them the most was their companions who were standing beside them a few seconds ago.
Xu Wei and Dong Haohao were still alive, but they could not even make a sound. Both of them were wrapped in the same light yellow gelatinous substance. It was as if they had been sucked in by two big jellies. Dong Haohao's [National Tax Service] and Xu Wei's [Impact Drill] were clearly activated, but the "jelly" didn't cause any actual damage to them. It was also very flexible, so they were trapped inside along with their abilities.
Seeing that their movements were getting slower, and their expressions were getting more and more exhausted, Bai Xiaoke could not hold it in any longer. Fortunately, she was very cautious. After putting Xueqin down, she commanded the escort to rush in.
However, as soon as he stepped on the gelatinous substance, the thick layer on the floor seemed to come to life and quickly wrapped around the escort's feet. At the same time, a large amount of "jellies" sprayed out from the metal openings on the ceiling. In less than two seconds, the escort was also wrapped up in the same way.
Bai Xiaoke cursed under her breath and snapped her fingers. The escort in the "jellies" immediately withered and stopped moving.
At this moment, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from somewhere. "… Oh? It's not a posthuman. "
Another man replied in a dull tone, "It's probably that one's ability."
Xueqin looked around in a daze. Her eyes followed the source of the voice and landed on a narrow black object by the door. She stopped moving. She laughed bitterly. In a low voice, he sighed and said to Bai Xiaoke, "... The researchers here have been monitoring us."
This kind of electronic screen, which was rarely seen by ordinary people, could not only receive sound and images on a large scale, but it could also make sounds. Another male researcher laughed. "We knew it the moment you entered the park. You two are quite lucky that you weren't made into amber. "
The expressions on the two's faces seemed to please him. He laughed and said, "You're wrong to think that we're doing experiments in ten buildings. These ten buildings are our 'experiment'. They can do a lot of things — "
"Dodge!" Before he could finish, Bai Xiaoke suddenly roared. She squatted down and pushed Xueqin away. A gust of wind that was emitting a faint white light brushed past their heads and hit the wall with a loud bang, creating a shallow pit.
They were all too familiar with this attack. They had seen Xu Wei use it countless times during the competition. Xu Wei, who was tightly wrapped in amber, looked at the door with a puzzled expression. Her hands were still in the same position as when she was struggling.
The monotonous voice spoke again, "... Looks like there's still a delay of 0.6 to 0.9 seconds for the ability reflected by the amber gel …"
"We'll talk about the data later. Let's capture these two first."
"Boris, open door 22 and release the 'microbial smoke cloud' —"
Bai Xiaoke, who had just escaped an attack, hurriedly carried Xueqin in her arms. Although she was strong, she was smaller than Xueqin. She could only drag Xueqin with her as she tried to escape.
"Why don't you call out another gigolo?" Xueqin looked at the faint purple smoke coming from the corridor behind them and shouted, "We're all going to die if this continues!"
"Are you kidding me?" Bai Xiaoke's forehead was full of sweat. "Do you know what the condition of calling an escort is? You have to have a heart that wants to eat fresh meat … Under these circumstances, how the f * ck do you expect me to want a man? "
Xueqin was speechless. Seeing that the fastest purple smoke was already in front of her, she hurriedly waved her hand and summoned [Housewife Haunted by Ghosts Under the Knife]. A huge black shadow in the shape of an umbrella jumped out of her wrist and stood between them and the purple smoke.
It was a huge mushroom. It was on top of the ceiling and on the bottom of the floor. The corridor was so crowded that not a single purple smoke drifted over.
"I can't help but think of the vengeful spirits that have been killed by your saber …" Bai Xiaoke turned around and was dumbfounded.
"Don't think that I'm fine." Xueqin's face was contorted from the pain. "The mushroom is also under attack. I can't hold on for long … Oh, go to the toilet!"
"What for?"
"There's no screen there. We can hide for a while!" Xueqin said as she used her mouth to pull out a knife from the strap on her arm. She held it in her hand and said, "We'll think of something when we get there!"
After all, there were still two people trapped behind them. They couldn't leave yet.
Although the researcher had said that the building was the lab, they still used the lab building as their workplace. Since it was a workplace, they had to have a toilet. Soon, they found one and immediately ran in under the cover of the mushroom.
The moment the mushroom was put away, Bai Xiaoke hurriedly closed the door. Through the crack of the door, they could see a large patch of purple smoke spreading forward as if it had a life of its own, searching for the two.
"Quick, block the crack of the door," Xueqin said, panting.
Bai Xiaoke hurriedly took off her coat, grabbed some toilet paper, and stuffed them under the door. Although she did not know if it could stop Ziyan, these were the only things she had. Halfway through, she suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"I've got a message."
Her face was pale as she showed the communicator on her wrist to Xueqin. The communicator that looked like a wristband was buzzing non-stop, and the screen that popped up was filled with messages one after another. After a closer look, all the messages were similar — "We encountered the military police on the way! Who's nearby? Come to our rescue! "
"We were ambushed by the military police before we even reached the destination!"
"We're surrounded!"
There were at least seven or eight teams that had sent several messages. That wasn't the worst part. Whenever Xueqin thought of the teams that she had lost contact with, her heart sank.
The two stared at the screen blankly for a while, a bitter taste in their mouths.
"What … what should we do?" Bai Xiaoke asked after a while.
Xueqin didn't know either. Three months ago, she was still a woman who thought about how to save more money every day … When they were at their wits' end, the screen suddenly jumped and a communication request appeared.
Bai Xiaoke sighed, thinking that it was a team. She was stunned when she clicked on it. She immediately poked Xueqin.
"I saw a lot of military police on the way," a voice that was as clear as a spring rang out. It was as if one couldn't help but listen to it with their full attention. Gong Daoyi squinted his starry eyes and asked gently, "I saved three girls just now. They said they were from the same team … How are you now? Do you need my help?"
PS:
I was shocked by the 5 reviews from Nifei. I thought all of you had left because I didn't update for a few days … So touching …
