Chapter 39: Encounter the ferocious beast again!
Outside the Army Headquarters building.
"You two go back and wait for three more days to see what Jin Yaohua has to say then!" Long Tian said angrily.
"Thank you, Instructor Long!" Li Weiyi and Lin Bao thanked him at the same time.
"I still have some things I need to handle at the branch. If Jin Yaohua still has this attitude after three days, I will go to the minister and ask him to solve it! Don't worry! What belongs to you! My Practitioner Association will definitely get it back for its members!" Long Tian promised.
"Okay! That's it for now! I'm going to the branch first!" After saying that, Long Tian left.
"Thank you, Instructor Long!" "Thank you, Instructor Long!"
Li Weiyi and Lin Bao once again thanked Long Tian as he left.
"Then we will wait for him for three days!" Lin Bao said.
"Yeah!" Li Wei nodded.
"Weiyi, are you going back to the community? Or are you going somewhere else? I'll take you there!"
"Captain! You keep busy! I'm going to walk around the area, just to take a break and relax, and by the way, wait for my parents to get off work!"
"Okay! I'll be leaving first then!"
"Well! Go slow on the road, Captain!"
Lin Bao said hello and drove away.
Li Weiyi watched Lin Bao's car drive away before walking towards the administrative building.
I strolled around the administrative building and before I knew it, it was noon.
Now is the beginning of autumn, and there is a saying: "It will be hot for ten days after autumn!" So, the weather is still a bit hot.
Li Weiyi had lunch at a nearby restaurant, bought a bottle of water, and then sat on a cool public seat to rest in the cool air.
After taking a sip of water, Li Weiyi was dozing off with his eyes closed, when suddenly a sound of shattering came from the building opposite, mixed with some people's screams and exclamations.
Li Weiyi was instantly awakened by the sounds and looked towards the building opposite.
However, the windows of the building opposite were all covered with anti-peeping film, so Li Weiyi could not see what was going on inside from the outside.
"What happened?"
Li Weiyi muttered in confusion, stood up and walked towards the building opposite.
When Li Weiyi just crossed the road, the noise inside the building became louder and louder.
"Help! Help! Ah..."
The cry for help stopped abruptly, and a pool of bright red liquid flowed out from the gap in the glass door on the ground.
Moreover, a beast roar suddenly sounded from inside the building!
“Roar~!”
When Li Weiyi saw the pool of bright red liquid and heard the sudden roar of the beast, he exclaimed, "Not good!"
Then, Li Weiyi quickly rushed towards the building.
He didn't know why there were ferocious beasts here, and he didn't have time to think about it now.
Now, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to rush in, save people and kill the beast!
Screams and roars of beasts could be heard from the building from time to time. Some pedestrians nearby had heard the noise and either avoided it from a distance or quietly approached to see what was going on.
"Non-practitioners, stay away from here immediately!" Li Weiyi shouted at those who were approaching here quietly, kicked open the glass door, and rushed in.
Rushing into the building, all we saw was the mess on the ground and several broken bodies.
Suddenly, a swift and tall black shadow chased a man and ran towards Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi looked at it intently and was slightly stunned. He found that the shadow behind the man was exactly the same as the beast he encountered in the alley next to the administrative building more than a month ago. That beast seemed to be a "four-in-one" beast made up of several beasts.
"What kind of beast is this? Why does it appear so frequently in the survival base?"
While Li Weiyi was thinking about the problem in his mind, his body had already rushed behind the man and blocked the "four-legged" beast.
“Roar~!”
The "four-legged beast" looked at the tiny human who suddenly blocked its way, but didn't care at all. It opened its bloody mouth and bit down.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Li Weiyi pulled his legs back, twisted his waist and punched out in one go!
“Boom!” “Roar~!”
A dull sound was heard, accompanied by a painful beast roar. The nearly five-meter-long beast was hit on the jaw by Li Weiyi's punch and fell to the side.
As soon as the "four-legged" beast fell to the ground, Li Weiyi's figure followed it.
Then, Li Weiyi's fists poured down madly on the head of the "Four-Unlike" beast. In less than half a minute, the "Four-Unlike" beast was dead.
After dealing with the "four-legged beast", Li Weiyi walked towards the trembling man hiding behind the desk.
"How could there be a ferocious beast here? Also, what kind of ferocious beast is this? Why have I never seen it before?" Li Weiyi walked to the man, squatted down and asked.
"I...I...I can't say it!" said the man trembling.
"Huh? Why can't I say it?" Li Weiyi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We...we signed a confidentiality...confidentiality agreement!" The man was still stuttering. It seemed that he was quite frightened just now.
"Confidentiality agreement?" Li Weiyi frowned slightly. Most of the companies and units that have signed confidentiality agreements are engaged in secret research.
Inadvertently, Li Weiyi looked at the "four-legged beast" he had just killed, and a bold guess suddenly came to his mind!
"Are you doing research on ferocious beasts? And, the kind that combines the genes of several ferocious beasts?" Li Weiyi asked what was in his mind, staring into the man's eyes.
After hearing what Li Weiyi asked, a trace of panic clearly flashed in the man's eyes.
"No! You...you guessed wrong!" the man hurriedly explained.
The man's panic naturally caught Li Weiyi's attention.
"Do you know? Researching the genetic products of ferocious beasts in a survival base is illegal! You will be severely punished by the three major forces! Aren't you afraid?!" Li Weiyi asked loudly.
"I...I...I'm just an worker!...Wuuuu..." The man was so scared that he started crying.
"Hurry up and tell me! What exactly are you researching here?!" Li Weiyi asked again.
"We... we are studying... genes... gene expansion." The man said tremblingly.
"Gene expansion? What is that? Explain it simply!" Li Weiyi frowned and shouted.
"It is to add several different beast genes into another beast gene. In this way, this beast gene will have the genes of other beasts in it. In short, it is gene expansion!" The man finished speaking in one breath this time. After he finished speaking, he also let out a long sigh.
"Are you doing research in this building?" Li Weiyi asked again.
"Well! This building has seven underground floors. We do our research in these seven underground floors!" said the man. His mood had calmed down a lot and he no longer stuttered when he spoke.
"Seventh floor underground? Then what's the matter with this beast?"
"This beast is the product of gene expansion. It is our first batch of test subjects. There are seven of them in total. They escaped due to an electronic failure. One or two months ago, one of them escaped and was killed. Now you have killed another one. There are five more of them on the seventh underground floor. I estimate that the seventh underground floor has been destroyed by those five beasts!" At this point, the man seemed to remember something and hurriedly grabbed Li Weiyi's hand and said, "Oh, right! There are sixteen researchers down there! Can you go down and save them?"
After saying this, the man looked at Li Weiyi with hope, waiting for Li Weiyi's answer.
"Where is the entrance? I'll go down and save people immediately!" Li Weiyi didn't bother to ask anything else. When he heard that there were still people in danger below, he asked hurriedly.
"Here! I'll take you there!"
The man immediately stood up and ran to a corner, with Li Weiyi following closely behind him.
After turning a wall, a dark metal door appeared.
"This is the entrance to the seventh underground floor!" the man said, pointing at the black metal door.
"This door requires a password! I'll help you open it!" the man said, and immediately ran to the monitor beside him, "Ding ding ding..." After entering a string of numbers, the black metal door opened.
"Just go down these stairs!" the man said, pointing to the stairs extending downwards. At the same time, he hid behind Li Weiyi with some fear.
Li Weiyi glanced at the man and said, "Just follow me!"
Then, Li Weiyi was in front and the man hid behind Li Weiyi, and the two of them slowly went down to the basement.
The underground floor covers an area of nearly a thousand square meters. Apart from the mess, Li Weiyi and the man did not see any traces of researchers or ferocious beasts.
"There are still five ferocious beasts! But why can't we hear any roars from them?" Li Weiyi asked in confusion.
"There are seven underground floors, and each floor is paved with sound-proofing materials. It's normal that we can't hear the roars of beasts." said the man.
There was nothing on the underground first floor, so Li Weiyi and his companion headed towards the second underground floor.
It was still a dark metal door. The man skillfully entered the password and opened the metal door.
As soon as the metal door opened, a roar of an animal was heard.
“Roar~!”
Judging from the roar of the beast, it should be quite close to the metal door. As soon as the metal door was opened, the beast's running sound was heard, and then a "four-in-one" beast suddenly rushed out from the corner, roaring and rushing towards Li Weiyi and the others.
This ferocious beast must have come here because it heard the sound of the metal door opening.
Seeing the ferocious beast rushing out, the man was about to turn around and run away, but suddenly he saw Li Weiyi rushing towards the ferocious beast. Then he remembered how Li Weiyi had easily , and he stopped the urge to turn around and run.
However, Li Weiyi jumped up and punched the head of the ferocious beast that pounced from the air.
“Ouch~!”
The huge body of the ferocious beast was directly knocked to the ground by Li Weiyi from mid-air.
Then, there was another burst of fists falling like raindrops. The "Four-Unlike" beast only had time to wail once before it fell silent.
After dealing with the ferocious beast, Li Weiyi and his companions searched the second underground floor again. When they found no other people or ferocious beasts, they went to the third underground floor.
On the third and fourth floors, we did not encounter the "four-unlike" beast or the researchers.
On the fifth floor, they encountered two ferocious beasts again, which were easily dealt with by Li Weiyi, but no researchers were found.
When they reached the sixth floor, they encountered two "four-legged" beasts, which were naturally easily dealt with by Li Weiyi.
Moreover, there are seven incomplete human corpses on the sixth floor.
So, Li Weiyi and the man went to the last floor, which was the seventh floor underground.
"The nine of them should still be alive!" The man ran ahead of Li Weiyi excitedly and opened the metal door leading to the seventh underground floor. The remaining five ferocious beasts were also dealt with, so he was naturally no longer afraid.
