"Maybe this is the so-called end of everything, but the result will be much better than you think." Bai Yingting turned his face to face him. Zhou Qing could see a peaceful calmness in his eyes.
"How strange, I feel like I've known you for a long time." Zhou Qing smiled.
"If I were a female researcher, my heart would have been moved." Bai Yingting's lips slowly curved upwards.
"I'm old-fashioned and conservative. I don't have any interests or hobbies. It's hard for anyone to be moved by me." Zhou Qing laughed self-deprecatingly.
"That's because you haven't met the right person." Bai Yingting's smile reminded Zhou Qing of the lake he saw when he first came to Nibelungen, as well as their chance encounter.
Perhaps that was the only romantic thing in his life. In Bai Yingting's eyes, it was as if time had turned back to that moment.
"I should continue my research." Zhou Qing turned his face away. He couldn't continue looking at him. That would only lead to more unrealistic imaginations.
"Of course, research will help you focus. You'll worry less and be more focused."
Just as Zhou Qing lowered his head to continue looking at the microscope, the base's alarm suddenly sounded. The researchers all looked up at the same time. Zhou Qing's shoulders trembled.
"What happened?"
The researchers were terrified. The last time the alarm sounded, it was when Mo Ye mistakenly thought that Zhou Yu had died and lost control, causing a large number of creatures to attack the base. What was the reason this time?
"Li Qian, what happened? Send the image to the lab. "Bai Yingting turned on the walkie-talkie and contacted Li Qian.
"I don't know what happened! The base is being attacked by unknown creatures! "
Li Qian's voice was also filled with fear. The screen in front of Bai Yingting and Zhou Qing changed. At one of the entrances of the base, an FRD vehicle was being inspected. Suddenly, the roof of the vehicle was lifted up by something like a balloon that was about to burst. A dark green plant grew out of the body of a researcher in the back seat of the vehicle. It quickly bloomed into a huge flower with thick red petals that spewed out a spore-like gas.
Before the security personnel at the entrance could pull out their guns and shoot, they were sucked in by the treasures. As they coughed violently, some kind of green plant grew out of their bodies, pushing open the skulls of all the security personnel. It grew wildly and arrogantly, then bloomed into beautiful flowers!
The researchers widened their eyes in disbelief as they watched the scene unfold. "What is this?! Oh my god! "
"Shut down the air circulation system immediately! These spores can spread through the air, "Bai Yingting said to Li Qian.
His expression was cold and gloomy. This was the first time Zhou Qing had seen Professor Bai like this.
A red alarm sounded, and all the research labs and nodes were locked down.
The huge flowers at the exit quickly grew into fruits, like balloons that were being blown up, constantly bulging and expanding.
"These fruits are growing too fast, aren't they?" Zhou Qing was very surprised.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. The human body provides them with an excess of nutrients. And this is definitely not an accident caused by parasitic plants … There must be something more serious happening. "
Bai Yingting's words made Zhou Qing nervous. An idea flashed through his mind. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Li Qian, "No matter what method is used, we have to destroy that plant! We can't let its fruits continue to grow! "
"Then send a small team to destroy them!"
As these huge fruits grew, they even blocked the surveillance equipment. Li Qian couldn't see anything in front of the computer.
When the small team of guards walked through the passageway wearing breathing equipment and saw the fruits, they were stunned.
They were huge, as if there was a force brewing in them. It was as if there was a heartbeat and blood pumping violently.
Their fingers were on the triggers, but before they could press down, the first huge fruit suddenly exploded like a volcanic eruption. The impact of the explosion pushed the entire small team of guards out, and they slammed hard into the passageway node. A dent was formed in the door, and several of the guards either had fractures all over their bodies or fainted.
The gate that was suppressing the entrance of the fruit was also overturned by the force of the explosion.
"What happened? Captain, please reply! Captain, please reply! "Li Qian tried to contact the other party, but only received a busy signal.
In the research lab, Bai Yingting placed his palm on the wall and closed his eyes, as if he was tracking and sensing something.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Qing walked up to him.
"The fruit of the parasitic plant that entered the research base can grow indefinitely, and it's very strong. As long as there's enough nutrients, it can easily push open a metal wall like this." Bai Yingting tapped on the wall with his finger.
Zhou Qing frowned. "So, someone or some creature … wants to break through the barrier of the base and enter inside."
At this time, someone opened the door of Zhou Qing's research lab and walked in. "The only thing I can think of is Turín."
