Chapter 82: The Advancing Momo
With a little spy like Yeye, their advancement wasn't difficult at all. To put it simply, all her defense sequences were just weapon installments that moved based on their programming. Although they were very mobile, but they were still restricted by their settings. After understanding everything, they only had to wait for a certain timing and follow a special path to dodge everything, so it was actually quite easy to deal with.
Of course, even if they knew the patterns of these weapons well, there weren't many who could remain calm when these weapons were really shooting at their faces. Luckily, after a few times of panicking due to unfamiliarity, everyone gradually got used to this 'dangerous' process.
"Next is the last defense sequence, a real laser passageway, are you guys ready?" Yeye reminded.
Bai Yi nodded.
"Yeye, aren't your defenses quite weak? I didn't see anything amazing about it." Woolf stayed at a large hall outside and didn't enter the passageway. With Woolf's size now, many of the passageways in the research facility were too small for him, he would probably get stuck inside them.
"Are you an idiot? What I have here are defense systems, do you understand what defense is? Destruction isn't my goal. With the power from all the countries, I could even get a nuclear bomb, but can I use it? My purpose is to stop invaders, not blow myself up. Not just nuclear bombs, but all those high-powered weapons aren't suitable for use as well. Moreover, I already told you guys about my defense system in so much detail. If you guys were still unable to bypass it, then you guys would really be retarded." Yeye immediately started talking rapidly and lectured Woolf.
"Hmph, an adult won't fight with a kid." Woolf was taken aback by the lecturing, but this guy still had some self-awareness. Competing in wits with a super artificial intelligence, his brain couldn't move that fast.
"Yeye isn't a kid!" Yeye instantly retorted.
"But don't you look just like a kid?" Woolf and Yeye instantly started quarrelling again. The rest of them couldn't help but laugh, and Yeye really loved to 'bully' the simple Woolf. If Yeye could really appear, the small and big figure quarrelling with each other would really be quite interesting.
"Momo, have you remembered everything?" Bai Yi said to Momo.
"En, I remembered!" Momo nodded obediently.
"Come to think of it, it's really surprising that there isn't even a single gap in this laser passageway." Heloise said.
"Hehehehe, of course!" Yeye giggled in glee.
"This laser passageway isn't created for people to act cool and pass through. To put it simply, there wouldn't be any spaces large enough for a person to pass through intentionally built in here. The lasers here are really a continuous web. No matter who, no matter how the person dodges, they would only be cut into many pieces once they entered this place. Why would a real defense passageway leave any gaps? Why not just make a continuous series of lasers? I really don't understand, why don't people get such a simple problem." Yeye questioned slightly at the end.
"Of course we understand, what happens in movies is just for the sake of the story." Heloise nodded.
"Movies? I don't have any information about movies here." Yeye said with some regret. Yeye was an artificial intelligence, overseeing the lower section of the research facility. She had a lot of data, but there was definitely nothing related to entertainment.
"If we have the chance later, we will definitely let you watch a lot of movies!"
"I like anime!" Yeye immediately replied excitedly, causing all them some surprise.
"Why anime?"
"Because the characters inside are all virtual as well, but movies are still played by real people. Yeye… isn't a real human." Yeye said these words with an unknown feeling. Suddenly, everyone suddenly fell into silence. Yeye… isn't a real human.
"Although you guys already know, I still must repeat this one more time." Yeye changed the topic herself.
"This laser passageway is the last defense, I don't know if this is imitating something, but anyway it's something created by you humans. However, this laser passageway doesn't have gaps like in the movies mentioned by you guys, I think this research facility isn't lacking in that bit of funds. Moreover, my main computer room and this passageway are all made of high-quality materials, so I don't think you guys have the ability to destroy it by force. Your only chance is the ventilation shaft." Yeye started explaining. Although they knew about all this long ago, everyone still listened very carefully.
"The construction of the ventilation shaft back then was definitely not for this to become a loophole for people to invade. The purpose of this ventilation shaft was so that after the poison gas was released, we would be able to clear out the air. Moreover, this ventilation shaft is very small, so an adult would definitely be unable to enter it. Of course, they probably wouldn't have expected that there would be a small kid try to break through here. Hence, with Momo's body size, other than a few corners, she should be able to bypass everything."
"What you guys have to do is to let Momo enter through the ventilation shaft, and crawl along the long passage to the end…" Yeye said slowly.
Although it wasn't their first time hearing this, all of them still listened to it very seriously. This was because the person executing this mission was Momo, a little girl of not even 5 years old! However, Momo wasn't at a loss like a normal little girl, but had a serious and composed look. Ever since a month ago when Sara died in front of Momo, she had already went through her baptism.
A baptism of blood!
Outside the ventilation shaft mentioned by Yeye, Bai Yi hugged Momo seriously and kissed her on her forehead. Bai Yi did not continue telling Momo what to do, as in reality they had already gone through this countless times. They couldn't afford to fail this mission. Once they failed, Momo… would 100% either die in the ventilation shaft or in the laser passageway.
"It's up to you now, Momo." Bai Yi's eyes were very serious.
"En." Momo replied tenderly, but she didn't have the silly look of an immature kid anymore.
Bai Yi sent Momo, who was wearing an anti-poison mask, into the passageway and waited outside seriously. From what Yeye said, after entering the stretch in front, the artificial intelligence would automatically judge if the person had the authority to enter. If not, it would give a warning to stop, and if their identity wasn't proven in 3 seconds it would release the poison gas.
Moreover, even if Momo used the ventilation shaft, she could not enter Yeye's main computer room directly and could only land at the end of the laser passageway. The lasers activated at a 10 seconds interval, so including the time that momo had to jump down from the ventilation shaft, there was probably only about 8 seconds. In these 8 seconds, Momo had to destroy the laser device, or else the only result would be… death!
Mavis looked at the view of Bai Yi's back. Bai Yi…had changed as well. If it were before, Bai Yi would definitely not let Momo take such a huge risk, but now he placed everything on a balancing scale and measured them, picking the best choice, even if that choice…
That gentle and kind nature of his had already been buried deep inside his heart.
This kind of change, was it something that they should be happy over?
……
Momo climbed into the ventilation shaft carefully, even with her petite size, she was extremely squeezed. Momo only had a specially-made short knife with her. Anything else wouldn't be able to pass through the ventilation shaft.
Momo crawled slowly in the shaft, and listened to Yeye's directions at the same time as to which direction to turn at each intersection. It was very dim in this kind of squeezed environment. As long the person was human they would involuntarily feel claustrophobic, and even breathing would become hard.
"Turn left in front. Be careful, even with your size that corner is extremely difficult." Yeye said.
"En." Momo replied softly.
Very quickly, Momo had climbed to that turn in the ventilation shaft. Sure enough, even with Momo's size she was stuck, her back in pain from knocking against the hard surface. Momo carefully adjusted her body, and after spending a full 10 minutes she finally crawled across that turn with a body full of sweat.
"There's still four turns like that in front, and when you enter the third last turn, my artificial intelligence will warn you and also release the poison gas. To be honest, Momo has to crawl through the entire passageway and switch off my main computer in 15 minutes. Otherwise, Momo's simple anti-poison mask can't protect you for long against the poison gas." Yeye's voice rang beside everyone's ears.
Her intention was to let Bai Yi make the choice again, if he was really going to let Momo take this risk.
Bai Yi raised his head, looked at the ceiling and said, "Momo, do you want to come back?"
Bai Yi's voice was very soft and gentle. In truth, Bai Yi didn't want Momo to take the risk as well. However, through the communicator Momo's heavy breathing and tender voice was sent to everyone's ears.
"Momo… wants to get out, wants to open the door and walk out of here."
This tender kiddish voice had an unexpected heaviness and resoluteness in it. Mavis, who wanted to persuade Bai Yi to find another way initially, was suddenly stunned. That little life that was so tender to the point that it looked like it would extinguish anytime had become so strong as well?
"All the best!"
"En." Momo replied and continued crawling ahead.
"Warning, warning, please show your identification, or you would be seen as an intruder, or you would be seen as an intruder." When Momo entered a turn, Yeye's voice suddenly became very monotonous. Apparently, this is the part of her artificial intelligence that she couldn't discard.
Momo ignored it, and took in a deep breath… Faster, finish crawling through the remaining distance in the next few minutes!
When Momo's body got stuck again, she gritted her teeth and forcefully squeezed herself out. A 'chik!' sound of tearing came from Momo's back. After she left, on that sharp corner was a patch of bloody cloth and skin.
Chapter 83: Cruel Warmth
Bai Yi crossed his hands behind his back silently. Mavis looked at Bai Yi's small but fidgety actions and couldn't be feel a bit relieved in her heart, Bai Yi was still worried about Momo after all. In this world now, it was true that those who abandoned everything, even their humanity, would find it easier to survive. However, Mavis did not wish to see Bai Yi become somebody like that.
It had already been 5 minutes!
Even without looking at the clock, Bai Yi knew the time very clearly. During this period, nobody spoke at all, but all silently listened to the monotonous Yeye giving warnings to Momo, while the other cheerier Yeye told Momo where to go.
It was very strange, yet also very logical.
But, so quick!
Momo was stuck in the first turn for 10 minutes, but she didn't even seem to stop for the next few turns. Moreover, her speed also seemed to be getting faster and faster, in just five minutes, they could tell from Yeye's voice that she had reached the last turn. However, this was also the smallest turn.
At this time, Momo crawled forward just like a caterpillar. There wasn't even a need to talk about stretching her limbs, even just her body almost got stuck inside the shaft. One could imagine just how tight the space was. With the obstruction of the anti-poison mask, and the feeling of being squeezed endlessly by her surroundings with no space to move, Momo started to breathe a lot heavier.
The reason why solitary confinement became a unique punishment measure was that humans felt a natural fear and pressure from being in small enclosed spaces. That was also a solitary cell that could easily fit a person, but in this tight passageway that could get somebody completely stuck, the feeling it gave was just like the world collapsing and pressing on you, almost as if trying to bury you in this place.
Momo's body slowly stopped at the beginning of the corner, and the four sides pressed against her body, leaving almost no gap at all for her to maneuver. Moreover, she gradually stopped moving, almost as if she lost all signs of life. Momo didn't move a single muscle, and Yeye didn't say anything either. There was only a heavy silence, so heavy that everyone felt a pressure weighing on their heart.
1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes…Bai Yi's hands uncontrollably started to tremble slightly.
Mavis looked at Bai Yi… This man, if something really happened to Momo, will he be able to bear with the pain?
Momo felt extremely tired inside the shaft, and she didn't even want to move anymore. The intense pressure and fear she felt caused Momo's young and immature heart to panic and be unable to withstand the stress. Slowly, Momo's heartbeat became faster and faster, her body starting to tense up, and even her eyes began to slacken. After an unknown period of time, just when Momo's dazed consciousness started to disappear, Sara's smile suddenly surfaced in her mind… That last smile.
That was a blood-filled yet gentle smile, a smile carrying infinite strength and encouragement!
Momo suddenly jolted awake, her eyes that didn't have any irises anymore contracted, and her body tensed. Momo's mind was very pure, and she couldn't understand many things as well as the adults. Like this time, her daddy asked her to go and that's why she followed. Momo thought that she had already finished her preparations, but in reality, it wasn't as easy as her simple mind imagined.
But, but… Momo understood the reason why everyone was struggling, and the hope behind Sara's last dying smile as she used her body to block that monster.
"AHHH…. AHHHHHHH!" Momo suddenly screamed, her small face revealing the malevolent look that she had when she entered the berserk state.
Momo fiercely squeezed herself forward, and her shoulder immediately got stuck at the beginning of the turn. Just a bit more, a bit more! Momo started screaming savagely and viciously pushed herself, forcing herself through the turn. 'Kacha!', Momo herself could hear the sound of bones breaking, but at this time she didn't have any worry or fear left in her, but only felt from the bottom of her heart a burning excitement and… cruelty to herself.
She fiercely pushed with her left shoulder, and her left arm immediately went limp, but she finally went past that spot and crawled towards the very last stretch.
"You got through, good job Momo!" Yeye's voice was filled with delight. When the rest of them heard Yeye's voice as well, all of them involuntarily showed a smile on their faces. However, only Bai Yi stared at the wall, seemingly able to stare through the thick and sturdy wall and see Momo inside. The ventilation shaft was only the first step, the next was the most important. Within the 10 seconds after the laser web passed by, she had to enter the bottom of the passageway and destroy the laser firing device.
"Momo, are you ready? I will now countdown 3, 2, 1, with every 10 seconds being a cycle. When the count hits 1, the laser web will pass by directly below you, you must grab hold of the timing yourself. After entering the passageway, you must destroy the laser firing device within the next 10 seconds before the next set of laser web gets fired. Be careful, as you only have 10 seconds." Yeye's voice was seemingly also affected by this hard to describe nervousness.
"En!" Momo replied, her heart beating rapidly. Although Momo now descended into a strange cruelty and excitement, she still hadn't lost her rationality.
"3, 2, 1!" On the first countdown, Momo didn't jump down.
"3, 2… 1!" On the second countdown, when the count had only reached 2 Momo jumped down into the passageway. Her shirt and hair flapped in the air, and the laser web that hadn't passed through completely yet sliced off a portion of it. However, Momo did not pay attention to this at all, while she was still free-falling in the air she had already turned her head to look at the laser firing device.
There!
Yeye had already briefed them on the position of the laser firing device and the level of its defenses before. In truth, Momo had already went through a few trials at other similar locations, because although this looked like an exciting and fun game, there was no room for failure like in video games. Yes, absolutely no allowance for failure, this was something that people would never be able to feel in games.
Momo rolled on the floor and drew her specially made short knife at the same time, stabbing it viciously into the wall.
'Clang!', sparks flew where the knife and wall collided at. Momo's movements did not pause at all, her right hand continuously pounding on the wall. However, with her broken left shoulder Momo couldn't use all her strength like how she did in the trials. At this time, there couldn't possibly be any time for Momo to get herself to the best condition.
10, 9, 8…… Everyone could hear the continuous sounds of banging of the knife on the wall from Momo.
5, 4, 3……Even in the last few seconds, Momo had not managed to break through that area like she did in the trials and destroy the laser firing device. One must know, even if it was Momo, her strength was already many times greater than a normal adult, and that knife was also specially made, it was even harder than Bai Yi's broadsword.
Everyone held their breaths subconsciously, and colored patterns automatically appeared in Bai Yi's eyes.
2, 1……Momo knew what this meant more than anyone else, and her eyes involuntarily contracted, her body reaching a limit. At this moment, the laser web materialised in front of Momo's eyes.
"AHHH!!" Momo screamed brutally and she smashed down with extreme force in her small right hand.
'DANG!', the short knife pierced all the way in, and at this instant a line of blood appeared on Momo's forehead from the laser beam. However, the most important thing was that Momo's actions only ruined one of the beams of the laser web, creating a small but barely passable gap for her.
Momo jumped and twisted her body in an instant, slipping through that small gap formed. Due to her left arm being injured, her movements had some deviation from how her body usually moved during practices. The lasers passed through her left arm, and soundlessly sliced off a chunk of flesh from it.
After landing again, Momo clenched down on her teeth tightly, almost bleeding from the gums. Momo then started to frenziedly smash the laser firing device. At this time, nobody said anything and there was only the sound of Momo continuously banging on the device.
……
Only after half an hour later did Momo finally execute the initial plan, entering Yeye's main computer room inside, and switching off all of the defense sequences manually.
The sealed passageway slowly opened, and Bai Yi, who had been standing still all the while, instantly dashed in the moment the door opened with shocking speed. Reaching the main computer room, Bai Yi immediately saw the haggard Momo with her left arm hanging limply by the side, slowly dripping blood onto the floor.
Seeing Bai Yi, Momo immediately revealed a pure and innocent smile at him.
Bai Yi immediately rushed to Momo's side and kneeled down, fiercely bringing her into his arms. Momo got surprised by Bai Yi's actions for a moment, but she then slowly enjoyed her daddy's warm hug and put her small hands on his back.
Mavis and Heloise came in behind Bai Yi, and the first thing they saw was this cruel yet heart-warming scene. Even Heloise who was still quite dissatisfied with Bai Yi being so cruel to let Momo carry out this extremely risky mission, couldn't help but feel moved seeing this scene. Cold and ruthless, yet he had so much warmth at the bottom of his heart.
A man with this level of resolution, and with such a warm heart, wasn't he somebody that everyone could entrust their life to?
This contradictory appearance, on the contrary, made him so much more authentic and real!
……
"Are you guys ready? Next, you guys can switch off my main computer now." Yeye appeared in a hologram in the middle of the room. This time, she really appeared in space, while she was just an image on a screen before.
Bai Yi looked at the people who had followed him here, and on everyone's face were calmness and resolution.
"Yes, we are ready!"
A simple phrase, yet it carried their incredibly pervasive resoluteness.
Chapter 84: Gush
"Great, if you guys are ready. Oh wait, I want to hug Momo first!" Yeye hadn't been serious for too long before going back to her bubbly self, and rushed towards Momo. Momo saw how Yeye was like and immediately dodged towards the side. Yeye pounced onto Momo in an instant, but all that happened was that she passed through Momo. In the end, she was still just a hologram.
Yeye circled around Momo for a while, and just felt very frustrated at the end. No matter how real she seemed to be, her 'body' was just a supercomputer created by humans.
Bai Yi did not immediately switch off the main computer, but let Mavis bandage Momo up first. What they had to face next was an incomparably dangerous run for their lives.
Yeye was teasing Momo, but after realising that Yeye could not actually touch her, she became immune to Yeye's teasing, causing Yeye to become disappointed.
"Oh right, remember what you guys promised, protect my main computer well." Yeye said at the end.
"En!" Bai Yi nodded.
Bai Yi looked at everyone, his gaze sweeping over all of them, and everyone looked back at him seriously, their expressions composed and solemn. Any person who had lived through so many experiences would have gained a deep maturity and understanding.
"Let's start then!" Bai Yi turned around.
Following the steps laid out by Yeye, he stopped the operations of the main computer. After seeing the appearance of Yeye's main computer, all of them were shocked for a moment, Yeye's main computer…actually had a brain-like flesh membrane covering it. After the shock, Bai Yi immediately calmed himself down. Although he didn't know how this thing had appeared, it was clear that this was the reason that Yeye could develop her own autonomous consciousness.
Bai Yi carefully extracted Yeye's main computer, put it in a protective case that they prepared long ago, and locked it shut. This protective case had the best defenses to Yeye's knowledge. After all, this was directly related to Yeye's new-born life.
The silver-colored protective case made of special materials closed shut, and Bai Yi lifted up the case, taking in a deep breath.
"Move!"
The group of them immediately started running towards the passageway outside, and on Bai Yi's wrist was a high-tech holographic watch that displayed a translucent 3D map of the place. A few small dots rapidly moved on the holographic map. Although everyone had long memorized the entire layout of the research facility, it was still quite easy to lose their way in this huge place if they didn't have a map for reference.
The moment Yeye's main computer was switched off, all the electricity got cut off at the same time throughout the research facility, and the entire place descended into extreme darkness and silence. After more than 10 seconds, the backup generator finally activated and lit up the place again. However, at this time, all the experimental subjects realised that their prison doors… had opened.
It's open!
Those lifeforms with low intelligence may not have realized it immediately, but the 7 perfect LV2 Metamorphose Stage lifeforms, and the other intelligent experimental subjects immediately realized this.
What happened?
This thought immediately arose in all those experimental subjects that could think. They carefully walked out of their prison cell, and when they found that the other prison cells were unlocked as well, a thought immediately arose in their heads… something big had happened to the research facility. Thinking back to the commotion more than 2 months ago and how there weren't any researchers left around, this wasn't a difficult thing to guess.
No need to waste brain cells on the details, the important thing is that we can go out now!
Ever since the first experimental subject found that they could get out, all of them instantly went crazy and ran out of their prison cells. They roared crazily, wrecking havoc along all of the passageways. This wasn't simply the excitement from being able to escape, but there was still the two months plus of starvation that caused them to prey on each other. The mutual massacre and frenzied escape turned the entire research facility into an unimaginably vicious battleground.
The 7 LV2s gradually walked out of their prison cells, and the No. 0721-2 'human' still had his usual cheeky smile on his face.
"HAHAHA…!" He did not know what happened, but this was still an optimal chance.
A Hypersomnia Stage monster woke up from its sleep, and immediately pounced towards No. 0721-2 in its extreme hunger. At this time, No. 0721-2 spread its claws and indulged in the moment, breathing in the outside air. This is… the feeling of freedom. The moment the Hypersomnia Stage monster pounced on him, his body suddenly disappeared, and the Hypersomnia Stage monster forcefully flew backwards. However, the monster didn't even manage to fly for 10 meters before it abruptly stopped in the air, its neck tightly held in No. 0721-2's hands before getting it ripped off by an immense force.
'Puchi!', the powerful Hypersomnia Stage monster's head immediately flew into the air, its hot blood spraying everywhere like a geyser.
No. 0721-2 opened his mouth wide, collecting the falling blood into his mouth and licked his lips greedily, revealing a maniacal smile. From now onwards, Qin Tian He is back! Just wait and see you damnable fellows! I bet that you guys would never imagine that I can return alive after sending me to this place!
On the other side, the other human LV2 was much calmer. He looked at the opened door and the frenzied experimental monsters outside, and slowly headed towards the door.
Finally, I can go out!
Augustine slowly moved his huge body and headed outside. Any experimental monsters that tried to attack Augustine got slapped aside by him.
He could finally go out, but Augustine did not feel much excitement in this heart. With his appearance of a monster now, how would he face his family and friends again even if he got out?
Other than the two humans at the LV2 Metamorphose Stage, the other five LV2 Metamorphose Stage monsters also exited from their own prison cells. One of them, a bat-like lifeform, suddenly opened its mouth wide and the surrounding experimental monsters immediately fell onto the floor and flailed in pain. After a few minutes, the bat finally stopped its soundless roar and flew away, ignoring all the experimental monsters fallen onto the floor.
"Hey, Bat, have you found the way out? If you don't mind, let's go together." Augustine saw the bat's actions and immediately went after it.
The giant bat only glanced at Augustine and ignored him after that. As long as the experimental subject did not lose its rationality during the Brutal Phase, their intelligence would all be quite decent. Moreover, as the only 7 perfect LV2 Metamorphose Stage experimental subjects, even though they were not familiar with each other they still knew of each other's existence.
The other experimental monsters weren't too dumb as well, immediately running and flying after the two of them towards the outside.
At the same time, the 30 LV2.1 defective Metamorphose Stage monsters imprisoned in the deepest areas of the five hives escaped as well. These guys were overjoyed and roared in incomparable excitement, and started to destroy and kill everything around them aimlessly. Very quickly, even the other savage experimental monsters very intelligently avoided those 30 monsters.
The research facility was undoubtedly built to be very sturdy, but other than the special prison cells, it wasn't possible for the entire facility to be built using special materials. Under the destruction of the 30 defective LV2.1s, the buildings started to crumble and get destroyed. Out of all them, the top contributors to this were the two 'Great Devil Snakes' that they met earlier on. Of course, the name of Great Devil Snake was also a general term of reference, after all there wasn't a fixed pattern to the changes in the experimental monsters.
……
"Did you hear anything?" Yu Han asked Ning Xue.
Yu Han and Bai Yi's judgement were similar, rather than risking their lives out in the wild, it was safer in this research facility. As for food, with the number of experimental monsters in this research facility there wasn't a need to worry about that. Moreover, all the changes started with the activated cells, so Yu Han and Ning Xue found many information in the upper section of the research facility, and they wanted to study them in detail.
"What sound?" Ning Xue was processing the information in her memory and felt quite puzzled by Yu Han's question. Ning Xue had followed Yu Han unwaveringly all the while, a woman's feelings were really difficult to explain.
"Really?" Yu Han was suspicious for a while, but continued to read through all the information they collected.
However, after a few minutes, Yu Han's heart just couldn't be at east. At this time, Yu Han recalled what Hong Qi Hua said before. She believed that Bai Yi and the rest would definitely make it out, definitely!
Why was she so certain?
Shit!
Yu Han's heart skipped a beat and he immediately rushed outside. Coming out, he could immediately clearly hear the roars of the gene-fused monsters, and they were rapidly approaching their location.
In the end… Bai Yi, that guy really didn't die, and used some unknown way to release all the gene-fused monsters!
Bastard, why are you so hard to kill!
Yu Han cursed in his heart and immediately grabbed Ning Xue who was still staring blankly.
"Hurry! We have to leave this place now, the monsters below have all escaped!" Yu Han still took more care of Ning Xue who always followed him unwaveringly, otherwise he would really have to be alone.
The two of them swiftly collected all the more important things and ran for their lives. At this time, Yu Han suddenly felt like it was such a waste, there were so many important things that they couldn't take away! However, after seeing a sinister 'Great Devil Snake' boring its head through the wall, Yu Han had no choice but to leave no matter how important it was.
The powerful and sinister Great Devil Snake that they first encountered back then, heaven knew just how many of those there were in this research facility.
The two of them ran like crazy, and behind the two of them was a wave of countless gene-fused monsters gushed towards the exit. After running crazily for a long time, Yu Han and Ning Xue finally stopped and looked towards the direction of the research facility. Shit, how frightening! We would've probably been devoured completely without even bones remaining if we were just a bit slower!
Chapter 82: The Advancing Momo
With a little spy like Yeye, their advancement wasn't difficult at all. To put it simply, all her defense sequences were just weapon installments that moved based on their programming. Although they were very mobile, but they were still restricted by their settings. After understanding everything, they only had to wait for a certain timing and follow a special path to dodge everything, so it was actually quite easy to deal with.
Of course, even if they knew the patterns of these weapons well, there weren't many who could remain calm when these weapons were really shooting at their faces. Luckily, after a few times of panicking due to unfamiliarity, everyone gradually got used to this 'dangerous' process.
"Next is the last defense sequence, a real laser passageway, are you guys ready?" Yeye reminded.
Bai Yi nodded.
"Yeye, aren't your defenses quite weak? I didn't see anything amazing about it." Woolf stayed at a large hall outside and didn't enter the passageway. With Woolf's size now, many of the passageways in the research facility were too small for him, he would probably get stuck inside them.
"Are you an idiot? What I have here are defense systems, do you understand what defense is? Destruction isn't my goal. With the power from all the countries, I could even get a nuclear bomb, but can I use it? My purpose is to stop invaders, not blow myself up. Not just nuclear bombs, but all those high-powered weapons aren't suitable for use as well. Moreover, I already told you guys about my defense system in so much detail. If you guys were still unable to bypass it, then you guys would really be retarded." Yeye immediately started talking rapidly and lectured Woolf.
"Hmph, an adult won't fight with a kid." Woolf was taken aback by the lecturing, but this guy still had some self-awareness. Competing in wits with a super artificial intelligence, his brain couldn't move that fast.
"Yeye isn't a kid!" Yeye instantly retorted.
"But don't you look just like a kid?" Woolf and Yeye instantly started quarrelling again. The rest of them couldn't help but laugh, and Yeye really loved to 'bully' the simple Woolf. If Yeye could really appear, the small and big figure quarrelling with each other would really be quite interesting.
"Momo, have you remembered everything?" Bai Yi said to Momo.
"En, I remembered!" Momo nodded obediently.
"Come to think of it, it's really surprising that there isn't even a single gap in this laser passageway." Heloise said.
"Hehehehe, of course!" Yeye giggled in glee.
"This laser passageway isn't created for people to act cool and pass through. To put it simply, there wouldn't be any spaces large enough for a person to pass through intentionally built in here. The lasers here are really a continuous web. No matter who, no matter how the person dodges, they would only be cut into many pieces once they entered this place. Why would a real defense passageway leave any gaps? Why not just make a continuous series of lasers? I really don't understand, why don't people get such a simple problem." Yeye questioned slightly at the end.
"Of course we understand, what happens in movies is just for the sake of the story." Heloise nodded.
"Movies? I don't have any information about movies here." Yeye said with some regret. Yeye was an artificial intelligence, overseeing the lower section of the research facility. She had a lot of data, but there was definitely nothing related to entertainment.
"If we have the chance later, we will definitely let you watch a lot of movies!"
"I like anime!" Yeye immediately replied excitedly, causing all them some surprise.
"Why anime?"
"Because the characters inside are all virtual as well, but movies are still played by real people. Yeye… isn't a real human." Yeye said these words with an unknown feeling. Suddenly, everyone suddenly fell into silence. Yeye… isn't a real human.
"Although you guys already know, I still must repeat this one more time." Yeye changed the topic herself.
"This laser passageway is the last defense, I don't know if this is imitating something, but anyway it's something created by you humans. However, this laser passageway doesn't have gaps like in the movies mentioned by you guys, I think this research facility isn't lacking in that bit of funds. Moreover, my main computer room and this passageway are all made of high-quality materials, so I don't think you guys have the ability to destroy it by force. Your only chance is the ventilation shaft." Yeye started explaining. Although they knew about all this long ago, everyone still listened very carefully.
"The construction of the ventilation shaft back then was definitely not for this to become a loophole for people to invade. The purpose of this ventilation shaft was so that after the poison gas was released, we would be able to clear out the air. Moreover, this ventilation shaft is very small, so an adult would definitely be unable to enter it. Of course, they probably wouldn't have expected that there would be a small kid try to break through here. Hence, with Momo's body size, other than a few corners, she should be able to bypass everything."
"What you guys have to do is to let Momo enter through the ventilation shaft, and crawl along the long passage to the end…" Yeye said slowly.
Although it wasn't their first time hearing this, all of them still listened to it very seriously. This was because the person executing this mission was Momo, a little girl of not even 5 years old! However, Momo wasn't at a loss like a normal little girl, but had a serious and composed look. Ever since a month ago when Sara died in front of Momo, she had already went through her baptism.
A baptism of blood!
Outside the ventilation shaft mentioned by Yeye, Bai Yi hugged Momo seriously and kissed her on her forehead. Bai Yi did not continue telling Momo what to do, as in reality they had already gone through this countless times. They couldn't afford to fail this mission. Once they failed, Momo… would 100% either die in the ventilation shaft or in the laser passageway.
"It's up to you now, Momo." Bai Yi's eyes were very serious.
"En." Momo replied tenderly, but she didn't have the silly look of an immature kid anymore.
Bai Yi sent Momo, who was wearing an anti-poison mask, into the passageway and waited outside seriously. From what Yeye said, after entering the stretch in front, the artificial intelligence would automatically judge if the person had the authority to enter. If not, it would give a warning to stop, and if their identity wasn't proven in 3 seconds it would release the poison gas.
Moreover, even if Momo used the ventilation shaft, she could not enter Yeye's main computer room directly and could only land at the end of the laser passageway. The lasers activated at a 10 seconds interval, so including the time that momo had to jump down from the ventilation shaft, there was probably only about 8 seconds. In these 8 seconds, Momo had to destroy the laser device, or else the only result would be… death!
Mavis looked at the view of Bai Yi's back. Bai Yi…had changed as well. If it were before, Bai Yi would definitely not let Momo take such a huge risk, but now he placed everything on a balancing scale and measured them, picking the best choice, even if that choice…
That gentle and kind nature of his had already been buried deep inside his heart.
This kind of change, was it something that they should be happy over?
……
Momo climbed into the ventilation shaft carefully, even with her petite size, she was extremely squeezed. Momo only had a specially-made short knife with her. Anything else wouldn't be able to pass through the ventilation shaft.
Momo crawled slowly in the shaft, and listened to Yeye's directions at the same time as to which direction to turn at each intersection. It was very dim in this kind of squeezed environment. As long the person was human they would involuntarily feel claustrophobic, and even breathing would become hard.
"Turn left in front. Be careful, even with your size that corner is extremely difficult." Yeye said.
"En." Momo replied softly.
Very quickly, Momo had climbed to that turn in the ventilation shaft. Sure enough, even with Momo's size she was stuck, her back in pain from knocking against the hard surface. Momo carefully adjusted her body, and after spending a full 10 minutes she finally crawled across that turn with a body full of sweat.
"There's still four turns like that in front, and when you enter the third last turn, my artificial intelligence will warn you and also release the poison gas. To be honest, Momo has to crawl through the entire passageway and switch off my main computer in 15 minutes. Otherwise, Momo's simple anti-poison mask can't protect you for long against the poison gas." Yeye's voice rang beside everyone's ears.
Her intention was to let Bai Yi make the choice again, if he was really going to let Momo take this risk.
Bai Yi raised his head, looked at the ceiling and said, "Momo, do you want to come back?"
Bai Yi's voice was very soft and gentle. In truth, Bai Yi didn't want Momo to take the risk as well. However, through the communicator Momo's heavy breathing and tender voice was sent to everyone's ears.
"Momo… wants to get out, wants to open the door and walk out of here."
This tender kiddish voice had an unexpected heaviness and resoluteness in it. Mavis, who wanted to persuade Bai Yi to find another way initially, was suddenly stunned. That little life that was so tender to the point that it looked like it would extinguish anytime had become so strong as well?
"All the best!"
"En." Momo replied and continued crawling ahead.
"Warning, warning, please show your identification, or you would be seen as an intruder, or you would be seen as an intruder." When Momo entered a turn, Yeye's voice suddenly became very monotonous. Apparently, this is the part of her artificial intelligence that she couldn't discard.
Momo ignored it, and took in a deep breath… Faster, finish crawling through the remaining distance in the next few minutes!
When Momo's body got stuck again, she gritted her teeth and forcefully squeezed herself out. A 'chik!' sound of tearing came from Momo's back. After she left, on that sharp corner was a patch of bloody cloth and skin.
Chapter 83: Cruel Warmth
Bai Yi crossed his hands behind his back silently. Mavis looked at Bai Yi's small but fidgety actions and couldn't be feel a bit relieved in her heart, Bai Yi was still worried about Momo after all. In this world now, it was true that those who abandoned everything, even their humanity, would find it easier to survive. However, Mavis did not wish to see Bai Yi become somebody like that.
It had already been 5 minutes!
Even without looking at the clock, Bai Yi knew the time very clearly. During this period, nobody spoke at all, but all silently listened to the monotonous Yeye giving warnings to Momo, while the other cheerier Yeye told Momo where to go.
It was very strange, yet also very logical.
But, so quick!
Momo was stuck in the first turn for 10 minutes, but she didn't even seem to stop for the next few turns. Moreover, her speed also seemed to be getting faster and faster, in just five minutes, they could tell from Yeye's voice that she had reached the last turn. However, this was also the smallest turn.
At this time, Momo crawled forward just like a caterpillar. There wasn't even a need to talk about stretching her limbs, even just her body almost got stuck inside the shaft. One could imagine just how tight the space was. With the obstruction of the anti-poison mask, and the feeling of being squeezed endlessly by her surroundings with no space to move, Momo started to breathe a lot heavier.
The reason why solitary confinement became a unique punishment measure was that humans felt a natural fear and pressure from being in small enclosed spaces. That was also a solitary cell that could easily fit a person, but in this tight passageway that could get somebody completely stuck, the feeling it gave was just like the world collapsing and pressing on you, almost as if trying to bury you in this place.
Momo's body slowly stopped at the beginning of the corner, and the four sides pressed against her body, leaving almost no gap at all for her to maneuver. Moreover, she gradually stopped moving, almost as if she lost all signs of life. Momo didn't move a single muscle, and Yeye didn't say anything either. There was only a heavy silence, so heavy that everyone felt a pressure weighing on their heart.
1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes…Bai Yi's hands uncontrollably started to tremble slightly.
Mavis looked at Bai Yi… This man, if something really happened to Momo, will he be able to bear with the pain?
Momo felt extremely tired inside the shaft, and she didn't even want to move anymore. The intense pressure and fear she felt caused Momo's young and immature heart to panic and be unable to withstand the stress. Slowly, Momo's heartbeat became faster and faster, her body starting to tense up, and even her eyes began to slacken. After an unknown period of time, just when Momo's dazed consciousness started to disappear, Sara's smile suddenly surfaced in her mind… That last smile.
That was a blood-filled yet gentle smile, a smile carrying infinite strength and encouragement!
Momo suddenly jolted awake, her eyes that didn't have any irises anymore contracted, and her body tensed. Momo's mind was very pure, and she couldn't understand many things as well as the adults. Like this time, her daddy asked her to go and that's why she followed. Momo thought that she had already finished her preparations, but in reality, it wasn't as easy as her simple mind imagined.
But, but… Momo understood the reason why everyone was struggling, and the hope behind Sara's last dying smile as she used her body to block that monster.
"AHHH…. AHHHHHHH!" Momo suddenly screamed, her small face revealing the malevolent look that she had when she entered the berserk state.
Momo fiercely squeezed herself forward, and her shoulder immediately got stuck at the beginning of the turn. Just a bit more, a bit more! Momo started screaming savagely and viciously pushed herself, forcing herself through the turn. 'Kacha!', Momo herself could hear the sound of bones breaking, but at this time she didn't have any worry or fear left in her, but only felt from the bottom of her heart a burning excitement and… cruelty to herself.
She fiercely pushed with her left shoulder, and her left arm immediately went limp, but she finally went past that spot and crawled towards the very last stretch.
"You got through, good job Momo!" Yeye's voice was filled with delight. When the rest of them heard Yeye's voice as well, all of them involuntarily showed a smile on their faces. However, only Bai Yi stared at the wall, seemingly able to stare through the thick and sturdy wall and see Momo inside. The ventilation shaft was only the first step, the next was the most important. Within the 10 seconds after the laser web passed by, she had to enter the bottom of the passageway and destroy the laser firing device.
"Momo, are you ready? I will now countdown 3, 2, 1, with every 10 seconds being a cycle. When the count hits 1, the laser web will pass by directly below you, you must grab hold of the timing yourself. After entering the passageway, you must destroy the laser firing device within the next 10 seconds before the next set of laser web gets fired. Be careful, as you only have 10 seconds." Yeye's voice was seemingly also affected by this hard to describe nervousness.
"En!" Momo replied, her heart beating rapidly. Although Momo now descended into a strange cruelty and excitement, she still hadn't lost her rationality.
"3, 2, 1!" On the first countdown, Momo didn't jump down.
"3, 2… 1!" On the second countdown, when the count had only reached 2 Momo jumped down into the passageway. Her shirt and hair flapped in the air, and the laser web that hadn't passed through completely yet sliced off a portion of it. However, Momo did not pay attention to this at all, while she was still free-falling in the air she had already turned her head to look at the laser firing device.
There!
Yeye had already briefed them on the position of the laser firing device and the level of its defenses before. In truth, Momo had already went through a few trials at other similar locations, because although this looked like an exciting and fun game, there was no room for failure like in video games. Yes, absolutely no allowance for failure, this was something that people would never be able to feel in games.
Momo rolled on the floor and drew her specially made short knife at the same time, stabbing it viciously into the wall.
'Clang!', sparks flew where the knife and wall collided at. Momo's movements did not pause at all, her right hand continuously pounding on the wall. However, with her broken left shoulder Momo couldn't use all her strength like how she did in the trials. At this time, there couldn't possibly be any time for Momo to get herself to the best condition.
10, 9, 8…… Everyone could hear the continuous sounds of banging of the knife on the wall from Momo.
5, 4, 3……Even in the last few seconds, Momo had not managed to break through that area like she did in the trials and destroy the laser firing device. One must know, even if it was Momo, her strength was already many times greater than a normal adult, and that knife was also specially made, it was even harder than Bai Yi's broadsword.
Everyone held their breaths subconsciously, and colored patterns automatically appeared in Bai Yi's eyes.
2, 1……Momo knew what this meant more than anyone else, and her eyes involuntarily contracted, her body reaching a limit. At this moment, the laser web materialised in front of Momo's eyes.
"AHHH!!" Momo screamed brutally and she smashed down with extreme force in her small right hand.
'DANG!', the short knife pierced all the way in, and at this instant a line of blood appeared on Momo's forehead from the laser beam. However, the most important thing was that Momo's actions only ruined one of the beams of the laser web, creating a small but barely passable gap for her.
Momo jumped and twisted her body in an instant, slipping through that small gap formed. Due to her left arm being injured, her movements had some deviation from how her body usually moved during practices. The lasers passed through her left arm, and soundlessly sliced off a chunk of flesh from it.
After landing again, Momo clenched down on her teeth tightly, almost bleeding from the gums. Momo then started to frenziedly smash the laser firing device. At this time, nobody said anything and there was only the sound of Momo continuously banging on the device.
……
Only after half an hour later did Momo finally execute the initial plan, entering Yeye's main computer room inside, and switching off all of the defense sequences manually.
The sealed passageway slowly opened, and Bai Yi, who had been standing still all the while, instantly dashed in the moment the door opened with shocking speed. Reaching the main computer room, Bai Yi immediately saw the haggard Momo with her left arm hanging limply by the side, slowly dripping blood onto the floor.
Seeing Bai Yi, Momo immediately revealed a pure and innocent smile at him.
Bai Yi immediately rushed to Momo's side and kneeled down, fiercely bringing her into his arms. Momo got surprised by Bai Yi's actions for a moment, but she then slowly enjoyed her daddy's warm hug and put her small hands on his back.
Mavis and Heloise came in behind Bai Yi, and the first thing they saw was this cruel yet heart-warming scene. Even Heloise who was still quite dissatisfied with Bai Yi being so cruel to let Momo carry out this extremely risky mission, couldn't help but feel moved seeing this scene. Cold and ruthless, yet he had so much warmth at the bottom of his heart.
A man with this level of resolution, and with such a warm heart, wasn't he somebody that everyone could entrust their life to?
This contradictory appearance, on the contrary, made him so much more authentic and real!
……
"Are you guys ready? Next, you guys can switch off my main computer now." Yeye appeared in a hologram in the middle of the room. This time, she really appeared in space, while she was just an image on a screen before.
Bai Yi looked at the people who had followed him here, and on everyone's face were calmness and resolution.
"Yes, we are ready!"
A simple phrase, yet it carried their incredibly pervasive resoluteness.
Chapter 84: Gush
"Great, if you guys are ready. Oh wait, I want to hug Momo first!" Yeye hadn't been serious for too long before going back to her bubbly self, and rushed towards Momo. Momo saw how Yeye was like and immediately dodged towards the side. Yeye pounced onto Momo in an instant, but all that happened was that she passed through Momo. In the end, she was still just a hologram.
Yeye circled around Momo for a while, and just felt very frustrated at the end. No matter how real she seemed to be, her 'body' was just a supercomputer created by humans.
Bai Yi did not immediately switch off the main computer, but let Mavis bandage Momo up first. What they had to face next was an incomparably dangerous run for their lives.
Yeye was teasing Momo, but after realising that Yeye could not actually touch her, she became immune to Yeye's teasing, causing Yeye to become disappointed.
"Oh right, remember what you guys promised, protect my main computer well." Yeye said at the end.
"En!" Bai Yi nodded.
Bai Yi looked at everyone, his gaze sweeping over all of them, and everyone looked back at him seriously, their expressions composed and solemn. Any person who had lived through so many experiences would have gained a deep maturity and understanding.
"Let's start then!" Bai Yi turned around.
Following the steps laid out by Yeye, he stopped the operations of the main computer. After seeing the appearance of Yeye's main computer, all of them were shocked for a moment, Yeye's main computer…actually had a brain-like flesh membrane covering it. After the shock, Bai Yi immediately calmed himself down. Although he didn't know how this thing had appeared, it was clear that this was the reason that Yeye could develop her own autonomous consciousness.
Bai Yi carefully extracted Yeye's main computer, put it in a protective case that they prepared long ago, and locked it shut. This protective case had the best defenses to Yeye's knowledge. After all, this was directly related to Yeye's new-born life.
The silver-colored protective case made of special materials closed shut, and Bai Yi lifted up the case, taking in a deep breath.
"Move!"
The group of them immediately started running towards the passageway outside, and on Bai Yi's wrist was a high-tech holographic watch that displayed a translucent 3D map of the place. A few small dots rapidly moved on the holographic map. Although everyone had long memorized the entire layout of the research facility, it was still quite easy to lose their way in this huge place if they didn't have a map for reference.
The moment Yeye's main computer was switched off, all the electricity got cut off at the same time throughout the research facility, and the entire place descended into extreme darkness and silence. After more than 10 seconds, the backup generator finally activated and lit up the place again. However, at this time, all the experimental subjects realised that their prison doors… had opened.
It's open!
Those lifeforms with low intelligence may not have realized it immediately, but the 7 perfect LV2 Metamorphose Stage lifeforms, and the other intelligent experimental subjects immediately realized this.
What happened?
This thought immediately arose in all those experimental subjects that could think. They carefully walked out of their prison cell, and when they found that the other prison cells were unlocked as well, a thought immediately arose in their heads… something big had happened to the research facility. Thinking back to the commotion more than 2 months ago and how there weren't any researchers left around, this wasn't a difficult thing to guess.
No need to waste brain cells on the details, the important thing is that we can go out now!
Ever since the first experimental subject found that they could get out, all of them instantly went crazy and ran out of their prison cells. They roared crazily, wrecking havoc along all of the passageways. This wasn't simply the excitement from being able to escape, but there was still the two months plus of starvation that caused them to prey on each other. The mutual massacre and frenzied escape turned the entire research facility into an unimaginably vicious battleground.
The 7 LV2s gradually walked out of their prison cells, and the No. 0721-2 'human' still had his usual cheeky smile on his face.
"HAHAHA…!" He did not know what happened, but this was still an optimal chance.
A Hypersomnia Stage monster woke up from its sleep, and immediately pounced towards No. 0721-2 in its extreme hunger. At this time, No. 0721-2 spread its claws and indulged in the moment, breathing in the outside air. This is… the feeling of freedom. The moment the Hypersomnia Stage monster pounced on him, his body suddenly disappeared, and the Hypersomnia Stage monster forcefully flew backwards. However, the monster didn't even manage to fly for 10 meters before it abruptly stopped in the air, its neck tightly held in No. 0721-2's hands before getting it ripped off by an immense force.
'Puchi!', the powerful Hypersomnia Stage monster's head immediately flew into the air, its hot blood spraying everywhere like a geyser.
No. 0721-2 opened his mouth wide, collecting the falling blood into his mouth and licked his lips greedily, revealing a maniacal smile. From now onwards, Qin Tian He is back! Just wait and see you damnable fellows! I bet that you guys would never imagine that I can return alive after sending me to this place!
On the other side, the other human LV2 was much calmer. He looked at the opened door and the frenzied experimental monsters outside, and slowly headed towards the door.
Finally, I can go out!
Augustine slowly moved his huge body and headed outside. Any experimental monsters that tried to attack Augustine got slapped aside by him.
He could finally go out, but Augustine did not feel much excitement in this heart. With his appearance of a monster now, how would he face his family and friends again even if he got out?
Other than the two humans at the LV2 Metamorphose Stage, the other five LV2 Metamorphose Stage monsters also exited from their own prison cells. One of them, a bat-like lifeform, suddenly opened its mouth wide and the surrounding experimental monsters immediately fell onto the floor and flailed in pain. After a few minutes, the bat finally stopped its soundless roar and flew away, ignoring all the experimental monsters fallen onto the floor.
"Hey, Bat, have you found the way out? If you don't mind, let's go together." Augustine saw the bat's actions and immediately went after it.
The giant bat only glanced at Augustine and ignored him after that. As long as the experimental subject did not lose its rationality during the Brutal Phase, their intelligence would all be quite decent. Moreover, as the only 7 perfect LV2 Metamorphose Stage experimental subjects, even though they were not familiar with each other they still knew of each other's existence.
The other experimental monsters weren't too dumb as well, immediately running and flying after the two of them towards the outside.
At the same time, the 30 LV2.1 defective Metamorphose Stage monsters imprisoned in the deepest areas of the five hives escaped as well. These guys were overjoyed and roared in incomparable excitement, and started to destroy and kill everything around them aimlessly. Very quickly, even the other savage experimental monsters very intelligently avoided those 30 monsters.
The research facility was undoubtedly built to be very sturdy, but other than the special prison cells, it wasn't possible for the entire facility to be built using special materials. Under the destruction of the 30 defective LV2.1s, the buildings started to crumble and get destroyed. Out of all them, the top contributors to this were the two 'Great Devil Snakes' that they met earlier on. Of course, the name of Great Devil Snake was also a general term of reference, after all there wasn't a fixed pattern to the changes in the experimental monsters.
……
"Did you hear anything?" Yu Han asked Ning Xue.
Yu Han and Bai Yi's judgement were similar, rather than risking their lives out in the wild, it was safer in this research facility. As for food, with the number of experimental monsters in this research facility there wasn't a need to worry about that. Moreover, all the changes started with the activated cells, so Yu Han and Ning Xue found many information in the upper section of the research facility, and they wanted to study them in detail.
"What sound?" Ning Xue was processing the information in her memory and felt quite puzzled by Yu Han's question. Ning Xue had followed Yu Han unwaveringly all the while, a woman's feelings were really difficult to explain.
"Really?" Yu Han was suspicious for a while, but continued to read through all the information they collected.
However, after a few minutes, Yu Han's heart just couldn't be at east. At this time, Yu Han recalled what Hong Qi Hua said before. She believed that Bai Yi and the rest would definitely make it out, definitely!
Why was she so certain?
Shit!
Yu Han's heart skipped a beat and he immediately rushed outside. Coming out, he could immediately clearly hear the roars of the gene-fused monsters, and they were rapidly approaching their location.
In the end… Bai Yi, that guy really didn't die, and used some unknown way to release all the gene-fused monsters!
Bastard, why are you so hard to kill!
Yu Han cursed in his heart and immediately grabbed Ning Xue who was still staring blankly.
"Hurry! We have to leave this place now, the monsters below have all escaped!" Yu Han still took more care of Ning Xue who always followed him unwaveringly, otherwise he would really have to be alone.
The two of them swiftly collected all the more important things and ran for their lives. At this time, Yu Han suddenly felt like it was such a waste, there were so many important things that they couldn't take away! However, after seeing a sinister 'Great Devil Snake' boring its head through the wall, Yu Han had no choice but to leave no matter how important it was.
The powerful and sinister Great Devil Snake that they first encountered back then, heaven knew just how many of those there were in this research facility.
The two of them ran like crazy, and behind the two of them was a wave of countless gene-fused monsters gushed towards the exit. After running crazily for a long time, Yu Han and Ning Xue finally stopped and looked towards the direction of the research facility. Shit, how frightening! We would've probably been devoured completely without even bones remaining if we were just a bit slower!
