The magnetically-controlled retractable armor was on standby. Han Xiao was ready to fight or escape.
However, the owner of this pair of giant eyes was only looking in the direction of the door. It stood there motionless as if it did not see Han Xiao.
"Photophobia?"
Han Xiaoxin was overjoyed. Luckily, he did not turn on the flashlight. Otherwise, he would have followed in the footsteps of the pilgrims.
This monster was more than three meters tall. Its body was barely recognizable as a human. Its body was covered with bulging muscles. The layers of muscles were like small hills, but there was no sense of strength or beauty. It was like a bloated mountain of flesh. It only made people feel disgusted. The muscles were rotting, and there were even holes in some places. There were white and fat maggots crawling leisurely in the rotting flesh. Compared to the huge body, the head and neck were very small. The skin was pulled by the bulging muscles, and the facial features were extremely out of place. It looked very impactful. People could not help but think of words like "deformed," "Painted Ghost," and "Solar Knight."
Han Xiao glanced at the layout of the room. There were a bunch of medical equipment and four experiment pods that he did not know what they were for. Two of them were squashed flat, one had its door open, and the other was closed.
The experimental pod was connected to a transparent container. There were only traces of dried fluorescent light left in the container.
He carefully retreated. Seeing that the monster did not move, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward along the corridor. Soon, he encountered the second and third metal doors, but they were all blocked by the rusty alloy door. The card reader beside the door was almost rusted into iron slag and was completely scrapped.
Han Xiao did not give up. He struggled to open the card reader and look at the model.
Hmm … he could not tell.
That was not important!
"This should be a secret military base from decades ago. But for some reason, it was abandoned. It seems to be a biochemical experiment. It looks like it failed … or maybe it succeeded? That muscular guy does not look like a normal creature … Wait, this corridor is too long. How big is this base? "
The dark corridor was silent, and the deeper they went, the more the darkness seemed to condense. The vision range of the night vision goggles could only reach up to five meters away. Any further and it would be pitch black. Han Xiao was glad that he didn't have claustrophobia or deep-sea phobia.
The sense of crisis was like the tip of a knife hanging in front of him. Even with Han Xiao's big heart, he felt cold sweat coming out from all parts of his body. This was completely the instinctive reaction of a living creature in the face of an unknown danger. Being too nervous would affect the emergency response. He hurriedly said in his heart, "My heart is as clear as ice. I won't be alarmed even if the sky collapses. I'll be calm when the wind blows.
He didn't know what he was talking about, but he wasn't that nervous anymore.
Along the way, he passed by more than a dozen doors. Only the door of the first room that the monster was in was open. The rest were sealed. Suddenly, they reached the end of the corridor. There was an even bigger door, which should be the main room. The alloy door was only lowered by a third, so they could enter.
This was the second room that they could enter. According to the principles of the dungeon, they should be able to find some useful information here.
The room seemed to be a large laboratory. There were rusted equipment everywhere. In the middle of the room was a row of experiment cabins similar to the first room.
Looks like there's no danger.
The dust choked him, and the smell of decay was pungent. A corpse was lying beside the experiment table. It had already dried up. There were pieces of cloth hanging from the body. It was vaguely possible that it used to be a white coat.
Han Xiao found a file on the table beside the corpse. He reached out to sweep the dust away, trying to find some useful information. He looked at it and realized that it was a diary.
July 13th, the professor made the sixty-seventh modification of the Felonia serum. He injected it into the mice for the experiment. The effect was very satisfactory. It finally met our expectations for the serum. If there are no abnormal reactions, we can start the human experiment.
July 17th, the mouse test subject died. Another failure. The cause of death was organ failure. (Experiment Appendix [Torn]). The professor seemed very depressed. He locked himself in the room. When I passed by, I heard the sound of him smashing things.
July 20th, the professor insisted on the human experiment. The higher-ups approved the professor's request. This is crazy! Did he forget the consequences of the failure of test subject number 000? (Experiment Appendix [Torn]).
[July 26th, the base issued a new rule. All researchers are to hand in any electronic devices and are not allowed to connect to the external network. Has the situation outside deteriorated to this extent?]
August 5th, this is the seventh day after test subject number 008 was injected with the Felonia serum. The test subject is doing well. There are no abnormal changes, but the professor is very disappointed.
August 11th, the higher-ups asked us to evacuate. I heard that the battle was very bad. They want to preserve the remaining forces. Everyone is very scared, including the professor. No one wants to believe that we lost the war. Actually, I was already mentally prepared. Previously, the number of soldiers in the base had been decreasing. I knew that was because the frontline had suffered heavy losses. Damn it! If I didn't change my profession from being a field doctor, I wouldn't be trapped in this depressing base. Everyone's face is lifeless. I can't see any vitality! I hate this place!
August 14th, we will evacuate tomorrow. We will take refuge in Base 03. Time is tight. All the test data of the Felonia serum has been backed up. The original data has been destroyed. The guards were really rude. They seemed to be preparing to self-destruct the base. The professor took a few samples of the Felonia serum and destroyed the rest of the serum.
The records ended here. Han Xiao flipped to the front again. There was no other valuable information. Many pages were torn.
The corpses beside the wall showed that this group of people didn't evacuate. Some accidents happened between August 14th and 15th, which led to a large number of deaths. Most of them died in the lower levels of the base. Those red compound eyes were the eyes of the desert worm.
"What is the Felonia serum?" Han Xiao was curious. He suddenly remembered that the fluorescent liquid in the experiment chamber in the first room had dried up. It should be the residue of the serum. The experiment diary said that the professor had the serum. The corpses were most likely in the lower levels. Han Xiao didn't want to enter the forbidden area. It seemed that there was no chance for him to get the serum.
Looks like I didn't find anything this time. Han Xiao shook his head. He looked up and held his breath.
He saw a black box on the table in the middle of the room. He quickly walked up to it and opened the lid. There were three tubes of fluorescent liquid inside.
At this moment, a string of ancient sayings rushed into his mind — — "At the end of the mountain and the river, there is no road, but at the end of the tunnel, there is always a village. You wear out iron shoes in vain, only to find it by chance. Suddenly looking back, that person is in the waning light."
Looking at the body at his feet, Han Xiao's mouth twitched. Could this be the 'Professor'?
He grabbed the three tubes of liquid and sized them up.
How can this color be called a serum?
You have received [Felonia Serum (Incomplete)] x3
Felonia Serum (Incomplete): A type of biochemical medicine that strengthens the body. It is not perfect yet. There is a chance of mutation after use. PS: This may be the last three tubes of Felonia Serum.
"A biochemical potion. The side effects of an imperfect potion are very serious. This is an unfinished product. If I use it, I'll probably become like that muscular stick. That's too scary …" Han Xiao shuddered.
There shouldn't be anything else here. I should leave quickly. This place is too creepy.
Han Xiao turned around and suddenly realized that the muscular stick had appeared behind him without him noticing. It was staring at him from above without making a sound.
