Inside the room, Mo Qiong was using Karl's computer to search for possible information.
After about 15 minutes, he had a general understanding of the research institute's structure.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find a complete description of the anomalies.
He could only find a few anomalies' serial numbers, as well as their containment locations.
Because most containment measures, such as reinforcement, updates, and routine inspections, Karl was involved in or indirectly designed them.
Occasionally, he would even apply to bring a certain anomaly out of a certain location and assign several D-class personnel to conduct research on it.
Similar records were all over his computer. Because of this, Mo Qiong took out a piece of A4 paper, wrote and drew on it, quickly outlining the anomalies' distribution.
He labeled each floor with a number, but most of the time, he only knew the numbers.
Of course, he already knew about Tao Tie's characteristics. It was in room A3 on the B10 floor, quite a distance away from here.
There was also a meat warehouse next to where it was locked up, where large amounts of meat were regularly delivered. At the same time, there was also a GMO breeding room, where hormones and GMO technology were used to breed a large number of animals to supply Tao Tie.
Before Tao Tie was transferred here, the people here had already made long-term preparations. After all, without proper preparation, how could they just casually transfer Tao Tie here?
Just as Karl said, they wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, so there must be another reason why Tao Tie went berserk.
"Almost all anomalies are below the B5 floor, but Karl's computer doesn't have any simple information on their characteristics …"
Mo Qiong was a bit disappointed, but then he thought of the person at the door: "As a D-class personnel who's been in direct contact with anomalies for a long time, would he know something?"
He put the distribution map he had prepared in his pocket and left the room.
Outside, the young man was silently crying on the ground. He was very scared.
Anyone else would be scared. Now that the containment system had failed, the members of the Blue White Society couldn't even protect themselves, and the crisis could spread to this place at any time.
But he was handcuffed in the hallway, unable to run or hide, so it would be strange if he wasn't scared.
Even though he was in constant contact with anomalies, his courage didn't grow at all.
Furthermore, he knew that one of the anomalies was now unsupervised and could break through the facility at any time, while he was in the hallway, unable to run away.
"Huh?" the young man was crying when he suddenly saw Mo Qiong come out of the room. At first, he was surprised, then pleasantly surprised.
"That's great, are you going to help me unlock my handcuffs? Hurry and save me, let's hide together "
In his eyes, Mo Qiong must have found a place to hide since he was able to open the door.
At this moment, instead of staying in the relatively safe house, she ran out again. She must be trying to save him again.
However, Mo Qiong squatted nearby and asked, "Why are you so afraid? What are you afraid of?"
"Containment failed! Don't you know that Containment has failed? I don't know what γ-520 is, but I do know that there are some terrifying anomalies locked up here! Furthermore, this floor … "The young man said anxiously.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he stared in shock at a certain spot behind Mo Qiong.
Mo Qiong turned around abruptly and saw a half-meter-tall pot of cactus at the corner of the corridor.
"Sss …" Mo Qiong was sure that when he arrived, there was nothing in the corner.
No, it wasn't there when he left Carl's office. It was there just now.
"Don't exhale!" The young man suddenly shouted.
Mo Qiong's expression froze as he saw the pot of cactus appear in front of the young man as if it had teleported.
"Pa!"
The cactus directly slapped the young man's face. The left side of the young man's face was full of thorns, even his left eyeball was pierced, causing it to bleed profusely.
However, he didn't make a sound and kept his mouth shut, not even exhaling.
Mo Qiong immediately realized that if he dared to take another breath, he would die without a doubt.
"Wuwuwu" the young man's hands were cuffed behind his back, so he could only wriggle his eyes.
He seemed to be telling Mo Qiong to take the cactus down.
Mo Qiong hesitated for a bit, but then saw the young man holding his breath and whimpering like crazy, he thought that if he kept holding it in, he would eventually be unable to breathe.
He knew nothing about this thing, but the young man obviously knew a thing or two. If he didn't remind him just now, the one being slapped in the face by the cactus would probably be him.
Mo Qiong held his breath, grabbed the bottom of the pot of cactus and pulled it off the young man's face.
The young man tilted his chin up and pointed at the opposite room.
Mo Qiong understood and unlocked the door, tossed the cactus inside and watched as the door was locked.
After the door was locked, the young man breathed heavily: "Thank goodness you came out, otherwise I would've died!"
"What is this thing?" Mo Qiong hurriedly asked.
"α-418, this thing is already considered good. If I wasn't cuffed, I wouldn't have to be afraid of it. But if I couldn't move, I would've been dead. This thing can use a person's breath to kill its target, prioritizing the closest one. If I couldn't help but breathe again, its thorns would've directly pierced me "the young man explained.
Wouldn't that mean he was dead? Being cuffed here, if he didn't suffocate, he would've been killed by the cactus.
"It only uses a person's breath to lock on?" Mo Qiong asked.
"Hm, all the rooms here have airtight valves with only one ventilation system. If you throw it into a room and lock it, it won't be able to find us for a while" the young man said.
Mo Qiong thought that there was nothing to be afraid of, he even had a way to breathe right in front of the cactus. As long as he breathed out into the other world, his breath would disappear.
However, Mo Qiong still frowned: "Anomalies are all below the 5th floor, did all the members of the Blue and White Society die? Why would it appear here? "
The young man was shocked: "What? You think anomalies only know how to use elevators? "
Mo Qiong was surprised. Indeed, the cactus seemed to have teleported just now.
At this point, almost all the combat personnel were focused on suppressing Tao Tie, but Tao Tie was a monster capable of destroying facilities. The cactus only needed a sealed room to contain it, but what if Tao Tie bit through this room? That would naturally cause the cactus to escape.
The researchers were inside protective cabins, while the combat personnel were wearing protective suits and had life-saving devices.
Because of that, the cactus' targets were mostly unprotected D-class personnel, as well as random people like Mo Qiong …
If it could escape, then other things would naturally escape as well. Hiding upstairs and having a member below didn't necessarily mean that they would be safe.
The young man continued: "Furthermore, there's also an anomaly on this floor!"
"What?" Mo Qiong was shocked.
The young man pointed behind Mo Qiong with his chin and said, "Beta-382 is in a room at the top of the building over there. Coincidentally, it was moved to the fourth floor in the early hours of this morning because its containment measures had to be modified. Three D-class personnel took turns controlling it … I'm one of them."
Mo Qiong's expression turned solemn. He didn't expect there to be an anomaly on the same floor as him.
Furthermore, it was no wonder that a D-class personnel was left here.
"Hurry up and release me, I'll definitely die if I'm chained to the corridor" the young man begged.
"D-class personnel are bound to die sooner or later anyway" Mo Qiong replied.
The young man replied: "Yes, I should've died a long time ago, but every day counts. I'd rather atone for my crimes as a D-class personnel, really … otherwise, I would've chosen to be executed last week. I also know a lot about anomalies. At this point, everyone's goal is to survive, so we can help each other "
"There's a combat personnel at the 5th floor's elevator, I think it's better if I ask him" Mo Qiong said.
The young man shook his head: "If you go there recklessly, he might shoot you, because you should find a place to hide instead of running around. Especially when you're carrying a pistol "
"I know what you're worried about. To tell you the truth, there are two effects on my body, both of which were infected during experiments. One of them turned my blood into highly concentrated hydrochloric acid, the other took away my sense of pain and gave me an extra pair of eyes "
"Take a look …"
He turned his head, two tufts of hair at the back of his head had been shaved off, revealing a pair of anxious eyes.
"You can still take it off … it can exist independently" the young man continued.
Mo Qiong didn't do that, at the same time, he thought to himself, no wonder this guy was able to remain so calm even after being beaten to a pulp by the cactus. It turns out that he doesn't feel pain anymore.
After thinking for a bit, he fired a shot to free the young man from the door knocker.
The young man's handcuffs were attached to another handcuff, which was connected to the door.
Mo Qiong's shot broke one of them, allowing him to move, but his hands were still cuffed behind his back.
"Tell me what you know, then I'll lock you in a room, you can stay there until the Blue White Society's people come to find you" Mo Qiong said.
"Thank you, thank you" The young man really didn't want to stay in the corridor, even though his hands were still cuffed, he was still happy to hear Mo Qiong's words.
But at this time, a scream of pain was heard.
The two of them were shocked, immediately ran to the end of the corridor, only to see that the security guard guarding the stairs had been attacked by something and was lying in a pool of blood.
The elevator door was wide open, the bodies of the security guards were lying inside, blood splattered everywhere.
"Hiss, what the hell is coming up?" Mo Qiong felt his hair stand on end, as if something was hiding around.
