Chapter 8 Laboratory
The third floor is the same as the second floor, with long corridors extending to the left and right as soon as you see it, but it is much stranger than the second floor.
For example, there were no lights on either side of the corridor, no room doors, and the solid wood stretched on and on, as if six people were trapped in this narrow corridor.
The air was filled with a sickening smell, sour and slightly fishy.
The ten-minute invisibility agent has worn off, and visibility depends entirely on the moonlight that penetrates.
Miao Zhen put on night vision goggles and handed the flashlight to Duan Sen beside him.
Duan instantly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and threw the flashlight to Chu Li: "You, you come here, you come here."
The beam of light is like flying dust, it cannot reach the end and one can only barely see the surroundings.
Xiang Liangyu looked around and couldn't help feeling a little dejected.
There were no native residents on the third floor, so they took advantage of the situation.
Chu Li said thoughtfully: "Can we split our forces into two groups to save time?"
Miao Zhen didn't even turn his head: "No, just follow me."
Chu Li shut up. The weight of six people combined was too much for the dilapidated third floor to bear. The creaking sound had never stopped since they stepped into the third floor.
Miao Zhen: "Do you think this taste is familiar?"
A few people sniffed the air hard, and apart from having a mouthful of dust, there was also a sour and stinky smell that had been there from just now.
The sneezes continued.
Xiang Liangyu turned around and smiled as he looked at the dim light slowly moving in the darkness.
She knew that the Aboriginal people were not deaf.
When the dim light came closer, the face of the person holding the lantern appeared.
Qu Liuyun held up the lantern and shook it: "It's too dark, go downstairs and get a lamp."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
"How is it, have you found anything?"
At this moment, walking to the end of the corridor, Miao Zhen knocked lightly on the wooden corridor. The "dong dong" sound was intermittent in the darkness until a crisp and ethereal "dong" sound suddenly stopped.
Miao Zhen took a few steps back and Qu Liuyun took his place. He rolled up his sleeves and moved around for a few seconds, then clenched his fist and slammed it into the wooden corridor.
There was a huge "bang" sound, mixed with dust that was as thick as fog.
Miao Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "Sure enough, my guess was right."
Xiang Liangyu was still coughing, and before he could catch his breath, his mouth started moving on its own: [This seems to be a laboratory, which has finally seen the light of day after being sealed for many years, but the smell seems not very friendly to humans. ]
[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the unknown scene "Enclosed Laboratory". Main quest "Escape from Zero Island" progress (5/70), island exploration (8/50), players are encouraged to keep up the good work! ]
The rooms hidden at the end of the wooden corridor were all exposed to everyone. Under the light, the floating objects in the air slowly moved.
After pushing aside the broken wood, the true face of the laboratory could no longer be hidden. Three culture tanks filled with green liquid glowed with fluorescence, which was very eye-catching in the dim laboratory.
The liquid in the culture tank was still working, and there seemed to be a complete fish tail bone soaking in it.
Several people entered one after another. Xiang Liangyu fell forward and bumped into Chu Li in front of him.
The two men screamed at the same time, fell to the ground one after the other, raising a cloud of dust.
Chu Li coughed, supported his head and climbed up, then grabbed Xiang Liangyu by the back of the collar: "You almost killed me."
Xiang Liangyu: "Sorry."
Covered in dust and enclosed by the corridor, it seemed that in the entire room, only those three culture tanks were clean.
Miao Zhen stared at the fish tail in the culture tank and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. This was the tail of a real mermaid, with a naturally beautiful shape, but because it had been soaked in formalin for a long time, the scales had lost their luster.
So, where is the upper part of the fish tail?
Why is it that what is floating in the culture tank is not a whole mermaid, but a fish tail?
Everyone was crowded in this not-too-small laboratory. Xiang Liangyu explained the items one by one according to their touch, but inadvertently, he saw a closed window on the right side of the laboratory.
There are three photos on the window.
The first was a picture of a golden-tailed figure lying and struggling on the deck.
The second photo was of a mermaid in a culture tank, with a half-exposed instrument recording data. The mermaid looked indifferent and lifeless.
The third photo was torn in half, and only the upper half of the mermaid's body could be seen, covered with stitched wounds. Half of the photo was torn, as if it was cut in half.
The mermaid in the photo was extremely familiar, with a golden tail and elegant face. She was undoubtedly the Quan Shengyan locked in the pool.
Apparently, a secret experiment was once going on in this laboratory.
And it's related to mermaids.
Xiang Liangyu really wanted to know the whole story, but the truth was revealed as the player progressed. Even though she was the island owner, she had no way of knowing the inside story.
Thinking of this, Xiang Liangyu felt a little depressed.
"Wait, someone is coming!"
Duan Sen's voice sounded nervously. He stood at the broken hole, staring at the corridor.
Miao Zhen quickly ran to Duan Sen and pulled him down to squat.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the unbearable were also heard.
Jiang Yu listened quietly, then suddenly looked up and said, "It's that aboriginal cub."
Chu Li relaxed instantly and looked into Jiang Yu's eyes.
Miao Zhen understood their thoughts, lowered his body and took Duan Sen away from the bottom of the cave.
Xiang Liangyu suddenly had a bad feeling.
When the cub uttered a puzzled "Huh", he had already stretched one leg in.
Xiang Liangyu hid in the darkness and closed his eyes resignedly.
The moon was once again surrounded by dark clouds, and the island forest was filled with gloomy and cold air, which was almost suffocating.
Chu Li walked on the crisp grass, his tone without any apology: "Jiang Yu, you used too much strength."
Jiang Yu: "It's obviously you who are stronger."
Duan Sen carried the corpse and twitched his eyes: "You two must not be modest."
Xiang Liangyu walked silently at the back of the team, praying that his father would discover the cub's disappearance and avenge him.
She loosened her tightly clenched palm, and inside was a silver book page. The team usually has a unified token to communicate and recognize each other.
Xiang Liangyu stared for a long time, then clasped his hands and hid himself.
If everything goes well, the first person to be killed will be Jiang Yu.
Chu Li and Jiang Yu punched the aboriginal cub to death, and Miao Zhen also proposed to destroy the body by throwing it into the sea.
Duan Sen was carrying the corpse and Qu Liuyun was holding the lamp. No monster dared to approach. Some tried to kill, some tried to destroy the corpse, and some tried to hide. Xiang Liangyu became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
The five of them don't look like players, they look like gangsters.
Until she realized that the route looked very familiar.
This was the path she took to find the sea serpent's cave.
There was a "ding" sound in my mind, and Xiang Liangyu's voice sounded: [Congratulations to the player for triggering the battle mission. There is an island monster sea snake cave 50 meters ahead. The player can choose whether to fight or not. If the battle is successful, it can be exchanged for 500 points. Because it is a team mission, the points will be evenly distributed. ]
Chu Li looked at the others thoughtfully and said, "Jiang Yu, throw it away first and wait for her to come back and fight."
Jiang Yu was very fast, and the team had entered the cave three minutes later. In the huge island forest, only Xiang Liangyu was left.
Xiang Liangyu did not wait outside foolishly. Instead, he turned around and walked deeper into the island forest and came to the bottom of the beehive he had seen during the day.
Just as she was struggling to figure out how to get the beehive into the cave without any damage, she seemed to hear some faint singing .
Singing can reveal emotions, and Xiang Liangyu heard the emotion of sadness.
Because she was distracted at the moment, she didn't see a bee suddenly fly out of the hive.
By the time she noticed, there were already bees half a person's height flying in front of her, and the buzzing sound was like a death signal.
Xiang Liangyu immediately recalled what the natives had said: "The monsters on the island cannot distinguish between you and outsiders, and they will attack indiscriminately."
She took a few steps back calmly and tried to communicate with them: "I am the owner of the island."
Obviously, they don't understand human language. When the bee suddenly flew towards Xiang Liangyu, Xiang Liangyu made an impatient "tsk" sound and turned to sprint forward.
Because she was in a panic and didn't know where to go, she passed by the cave directly. There was no road ahead, only a broken cliff and surging sea below.
Her mind went blank for a moment. Seeing the buzzing sound gradually approaching, Xiang Liangyu felt a chill on her back. Without time to think, she jumped off the cliff.
As a result, the aboriginal cub that had just climbed up was knocked down.
The two of them sank into the sea, making quite a splash.
The bees floated just above the cliff, seemingly confused by the sudden disappearance of their prey.
When he was about to return to the nest, he met the players who had just finished the battle.
Chu Li's pupils shrank slightly, and he screamed for the first time since entering the game: "Ahhh——!"
