"Maybe this time it's all over, but the result will be much better than you think." Bai Yingting turned his face over, Zhou Qing saw the other's eyes, which was almost peaceful.
"It's strange, I have the feeling that I have known you for a long time." Zhou Qing smiled.
"If I were a female researcher, my heart would have been moved at this moment." Bai Yingting's lips slowly curved up.
"I am old-fashioned, conservative, and have no hobbies. It is difficult for anyone to be moved by me." Zhou Qing laughed at himself.
"That's because you didn't meet the right person." Bai Yingting's smile reminded Zhou Qing of the lake he saw when he first came to Nibelungen, and the chance encounter.
Maybe that was the only romantic thing in his life, and in Bai Yingting's eyes, everything went back to that moment as if time had gone back.
"It's time for me to continue my research." Zhou Qing checked his face, he couldn't keep looking at him, there would be more unrealistic imaginations.
"Of course research can help you focus, worry less and focus more."
Just as Zhou Qing lowered his head and continued to look at the microscope, the alarm at the base suddenly sounded, the researchers raised their heads in unison, and Zhou Qing's shoulders trembled subconsciously.
"what happened?"
The researchers panicked. The last time the alarm sounded or Mo Ye mistakenly thought that Zhou Yu was dead and lost control, causing a large number of creatures to attack the base, so what was the reason for this time
"Li Qian, what happened? Send the picture to the research room." Bai Yingting turned on the walkie-talkie and connected Li Qian.
"I don't know what's going on! The base is being attacked by unknown creatures!"
Li Qian's voice was also full of panic, and the screen in front of Bai Yingting and Zhou Qing was switched. I only saw that at an entrance of the base, a Waiyan vehicle was being inspected. Suddenly, the roof of the vehicle was lifted up by something, like a balloon about to burst, and the solid roof was lifted with a "bang". A dark green plant grew from the body of a researcher in the back seat, and quickly opened a huge flower, with crimson flesh and thick petals, emitting spore-like gas.
Before the security guards at the entrance checkpoints could draw their guns, they were sucked into these treasures. While coughing violently, some kind of green plant grew out of their bodies, pushing the skulls of all the security guards open, clattering wildly and arrogantly. Grow, and then bloom beautiful flowers!
The researchers' eyes widened, watching this happen in disbelief: "What is this! My God!"
"Turn off the air circulation system immediately! These spores will spread in the air." Bai Yingting said to Li Qian.
His expression was cold and gloomy, and this was the first time Zhou Qing had seen such Professor Bai.
The red alarm sounded, and all research rooms and nodes were locked.
And export those huge flowers that quickly grow into fruit, like balloons inflated, bulging and expanding.
"Are these fruits growing too fast?" Zhou Qing was very surprised.
"It's no surprise. The human body gives them an excess of nutrients. And it's definitely not just an accident caused by plant parasitism... There must be something more serious going on."
Bai Yingting's words made Zhou Qing nervous. An idea crossed his mind, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Li Qian, "No matter what method is used, we must destroy that plant! We can't let its fruit continue to grow!"
"Then send a team to destroy them!"
As these huge fruits grew, they even resisted the monitoring equipment, and Li Qian couldn't see anything in front of the computer.
And when the escort team walked through the passage wearing breathing equipment and saw those fruits, they were stunned.
They are very huge, as if a force is brewing in them, as if a heartbeat and blood are beating violently.
Their fingers were on the trigger, but before they had time to press it down, the initial huge fruit suddenly burst open like a volcanic eruption, and the impact force pushed the entire guard team out and smashed it hard. At the passage node, the door was smashed into a depression, and several of the guards were either fractured or fainted.
And the gate at the entrance that was pressing the fruit was also overturned by this force.
"What happened? Squad leader, please answer! Squad leader, please answer!" Li Qian tried to contact the other party, but all he got was a busy tone.
Bai Yingting in the research room put his palms on the wall and closed his eyes as if he was tracking and feeling something.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Qing stepped forward.
"The fruit of the plant that parasitizes the researcher's body and enters the base can grow indefinitely and has a lot of power. As long as there is enough nutrition, there is no problem in pushing up such a metal wall." Bai Yingting tapped on the wall with his fingers.
Zhou Qing frowned: "So someone or some creature... wants to break through the barrier of the base and get in."
At this time, someone opened the door of Zhou Qing's laboratory and walked in: "All I can think of is Turin."
The other party was wearing a casual T-shirt, with his hands in his pockets and chocolate candy in his mouth.
"Dr. Jiang... Li Qian has locked all the channels, how did you get in?"
"Because my authorization level is the same as Song Zhi." Dr. Jiang shook his fingers, "and staying in one's own room at this time is very tormenting."
"We all thought that Turin was going to the ancestor Ymir, but his real goal was this base. If this assumption is true, what could attract him in this base?" Zhou Qing looked at Dr. Jiang.
Dr. Jiang swallowed the chocolate in his mouth and quickly shook his hand: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Why are you looking at me like this?"
Bai Yingting replied instead of Zhou Qing: "Because your virus research and talent are above Turin. Maybe Turin has encountered some problems and needs to ask you for advice?"
"Don't come! I don't want to do academic exchanges with him at all!" Dr. Jiang opened his eyes wide and took a few steps back, "You guys... don't you want to hand me over like this?"
Bai Yingting smiled with interest: "I'm not sure if it's Turin, Dr. Jiang, you're too nervous."
At this moment, the picture in the video made Dr. Jiang pale in shock. Those huge fruits exploded at the same time, which is tantamount to the power of a dozen bombs exploding. The nodes of the passage were washed away, and the entire base was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, a sturdy vine suddenly burst out from the depths of the ground and went deep along the blasted passage. Its strength was very strong, sweeping several teams of guards guarding the extension.
This is not just a single attack. If it wasn't for Turin's manipulation behind the scenes, Zhou Qing couldn't think of other possibilities.
The devil's vine arched up, formed a wave-like shape, and slammed into the depths of the passage, and the second door was knocked open.
The spores rolled in.
Li Qian can only constantly transfer the guards who are guarding the extension to the inside.
The whole base is about to fry into a pot of porridge.
"Call Zhou Yu and the others back!" Dr. Jiang shouted.
At this moment, a black shadow passed by, crushing the signal tower without warning!
"My mother..." Li Qian, who was monitoring this scene, was dumbfounded.
In this way, it is impossible for them to contact Zhou Yu.
And the huge creature that crushed the signal tower turned out to be a soaring snake!
Not long ago, the base was hit hard by the Soaring Snake summoned when Mo Ye lost control of his emotions, but this time... their opponents will never show mercy!
And the soaring snake slid to the entrance of the base, and on top of its head, Turin was sitting.
There was a sly smile on Turin's lips, and a golden light radiated from his pupils.
"Turin can even manipulate the Soaring Snake... How is this possible? The dead dahlia that infected him is just an A-level creature!"
Zhou Qing couldn't help but stepped forward and stared hard at the image of Dr. Turin on the screen.
Turin walked into the channel that had cracked and even collapsed at any time. He knew exactly where the cameras would be, and he bent down in a gentle gesture of salute.
And the soaring snake withdrew more than ten meters back and rushed forward. With that kind of speed and impact, Zhou Qing and the others only felt the earth shake!
One-fifth of the base collapsed like this!
Li Qian's screen returned to normal after a second of snowflakes, and he could only see what was going on through the remaining cameras.
At the same time as the collapse, many people who were too late to evacuate were crushed below.
"We have to leave, the sooner the better!" Li Qian said to Zhou Qing and Professor Bai on the walkie-talkie.
"The question is, Turin has sent people to surround this base, where are we going to escape?"
Zhou Qing looked at the soaring snake in the video, almost surrounded the entire base, and planned to crush all the extension in one go.
"But the more we avoid the depths of the base, the easier it is to catch us all in the end. This is a game of catching turtles in a jar."
Bai Yingting replied.
"Then what are your plans?" Zhou Qing looked at Bai Yingting.
"Rush out, either leave or die here." Bai Yingting replied.
"Rush out? Although I want to say are you crazy? But I prefer the answer of 'leave' rather than sitting still, I think you mean using the shuttle to leave Nibelungen?" Dr. Jiang asked.
"Of course! Li Qian, you should get in touch with Juli Group headquarters now and ask them to connect our shuttle cabin on the other side! Then plan our escape route and set up all the levels." Bai Yingting said into the walkie-talkie .
"Of course." Li Qian replied.
After more than ten seconds, Li Qian sent the best evacuation route to the display.
The route is almost a straight line, leading straight to the shuttle.
"I have already contacted Dr. Cook at the Juli Group headquarters. She agreed to send us receiving instructions, but only Mr. Song knows the instructions for sending the shuttle!"
"I know what that command is!" Dr. Jiang said.
"Then it's settled, let's go!"
Bai Yingting and Zhou Qing nodded to each other, and the moment the door of the research room opened, they rushed out with the researchers and Dr. Jiang.
"Don't stop, take a breath! Wait until you get out of here before taking a breath!" Bai Yingting shouted loudly.
A group of researchers who never exercised ran wildly in the deep passage like this, and they could feel the base vibrate from time to time.
"The wall of the extension has been destroyed, and the Turin and Lizard Monster Legions have come in! You move faster!" Li Qian reminded anxiously in front of the monitor.
"Li Qian, set up all the parameters of the teleportation cabin first!" Dr. Jiang took the walkie-talkie from Bai Yingting and said breathlessly.
"It's up to you to say it! You guys hurry up and get me over here!" Li Qian sat in front of the computer, shaking his legs subconsciously, which is what he did when he was nervous.
His heart was beating so fast that even his palms were sweaty. Except for the last time when the Eidolons trained by Dr. Carlos slaughtered rampantly in the base, he had not been so afraid for a long time.
At this moment, Bai Yingting suddenly stopped and dragged Zhou Qing beside him behind him.
Only a loud noise was heard, and the metal wall above their heads trembled, as if they were suddenly under tremendous pressure, making the eardrums tingle, and the researchers subconsciously covered their ears and lowered their heads.
"Oops! Dr. Turin's army of lizards is already on top of you! That lizard... is really terrifying! You all run away!"
But it was too late, and there was another huge tremor. The metal walls above their heads all collapsed, and there were countless fires when the metal walls rubbed against each other.
A monster several times the size of the usual lizard monster landed on the ground, and its white eyeballs swayed, as if locking the direction of its prey.
The vines of the Devil's Vine stretched in, clinging to the surrounding walls, like a strong net, catching them all.
The researchers were speechless in horror.
While the lizard monster moved forward step by step, Bai Yingting led Zhou Qing back step by step.
The air was so tense that it was suffocating, Zhou Qing only felt that his whole body was cold, and only the hand of Bai Yingting in front of him holding back his shoulder made him feel the real warmth.
There was no tremor in his body, and unlike those researchers who fell into despair, he remained calm.
"Professor Bai?" Zhou Qing said subconsciously, but he didn't know what he really wanted to say.
"My body is getting weaker and weaker, and it is impossible to protect you all from leaving. Listen, I will drag this monster and the lizard monster army it leads, and you will take Dr. Jiang to take advantage of the gap to leave."
"What? How do you hold them back?"
In the next second, Zhou Qing thought of the last time when countless sword-bone butterflies flew into the research room, Bai Yingting put it on his shoulders neatly, and no sword-bone butterflies approached or even attacked them.
"If I tell you to go, just go, it doesn't matter how I stop them." Bai Yingting turned his face to look at Zhou Qing, his eyes glowed with gold, Zhou Qing suddenly understood something, and he twitched subconsciously. With a sigh, his legs took a half step back, but in the end he reached out and hugged Bai Yingting.
"Then I'll be waiting for you in the shuttle cabin." After saying that, Zhou Qing clasped Dr. Jiang's hand.
The meridians inside the Devil's Vine suddenly swelled up, the part that was about to be attacked suddenly burst open, and the remaining part was rapidly withering.
At the same time, the giant lizard monster in front of them suddenly twitched as if its limbs twitched, as did the dozen or so lizard monsters that jumped down following it, their bodies twisted or even broken as if they were bound, and they could not breathe or breathe. In action, the cells inside are dividing, making an eerie sound.
"Walk-"
As soon as Bai Yingting's voice fell, Zhou Qing grabbed Dr. Jiang and ran desperately from among the lizard monsters.
Dr. Jiang's eyes widened, watching this magical scene. When they successfully ran through this passage, Li Qian also dropped the gate. Zhou Qing turned back subconsciously and found that no one was following him except him and Dr. Jiang.
"Don't stop! Keep running! Until you enter the shuttle!"
The secretion of adrenaline made Zhou Qing more agile than usual.
Dr. Jiang followed behind him and stepped on a researcher's dropped glasses, staggered and fell to the ground.
Zhou Qing was about to help him up, but a clapping sound came from the corner of the passage.
"Well done, I didn't expect you to get rid of my escort."
When the shadow of the man turned the corner and his face gradually appeared under the light, Dr. Jiang's pupils dilated for a while, and he said, "Tulin..."
This name is like a basin of cold water, falling from the top of Zhou Qing's head, completely cutting off their hope of escaping.
In front of him, Turin, still wearing a white researcher's gown, with his hands in his pockets, walked over. There was a calm expression on his face, as if he was a creature above everything else, standing at the top of the pyramid overlooking the powerless and ridiculous struggles of Zhou Qing and Dr. Jiang.
Zhou Qing took a step back, and he could feel a devastating force in Turin's eyes.
"Long time no see, Dr. Jiang. You still look so young. You are enviable with a baby face and good skin. It's not like my face is full of wrinkles." Turin came to Dr. Jiang and raised his hand to support He grabbed his arm and helped him up.
In fact, Dr. Turin's face is so smooth that he looks like a teenager. The virus froze the aging of his cells and even had an anti-aging effect.
Dr. Jiang's jaw was shaking, and his heart was beating like it wanted to split.
"What do you want? Kill all the people in this base, or to kill me?" Even though Dr. Jiang was frightened, he still looked straight into Turin's eyes.
Turin patted Dr. Jiang on the cheek, and said in a tone of voice to an old acquaintance: "Don't do this, old friend, how could I kill you? You are the most valuable researcher I have ever seen, and your talent counts as 10 I can't beat it."
Zhou Qing could finally be sure that what he and Bai Yingting had guessed was true, and that Tulin was indeed here for Dr. Jiang.
"Really? I really didn't expect you to recognize my talent." Dr. Jiang squeezed an ugly smile on his lips.
"Well... Although the fusion with the death dahlia gave me supreme power, there was indeed a small problem, so I need you to help me study this virus. Besides me, if anyone else can solve it If there is a mystery of this virus, I believe it is only you." Turin patted Dr. Jiang on the shoulder and adjusted his sleeves, as if he wanted to keep Dr. Jiang as clean and tidy as him. Or maybe he's just pretending to apologize for making Dr. Jiang so embarrassed.
"I can go with you, but you will leave immediately with your lizard monster army and all the creatures outside, don't hurt anyone in this base!"
"Hahaha! How many people in this base are clean? If there is no handle in the hands of Juli Group, will they give up the warm and comfortable life in the human world to come here? Or do you think you can tell me if you have the conditions? ?" Turin asked with a smile.
"Although I'm afraid of death, do you really think I don't have the courage to accept death?" Dr. Jiang asked in a normal voice, he had already made up his mind.
Turin turned his face to look at Zhou Qing: "Do you think in your heart that Dr. Jiang is very brave, full of sacrificial spirit, and represents the most noble ideological realm of mankind?"
"Could it be that you are?" Zhou Qing asked rhetorically.
"No! No! No! I am the same as Dr. Jiang, we represent the Juli Group's pursuit of power and desire, it is not enough to corrupt the human world, we have to come here to subvert the Nibelungen. At best, this It’s just a colonization that is beyond our means. In fact, I am lucky and have obtained the power I want. Of course, I will not share this power with the Juli Group.”
After speaking, Turin picked up Dr. Jiang and walked towards the other end of the passage.
His pace was easy and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Zhou Qing chased after him, but Dr. Jiang shook his hand desperately at him: "Leave me alone, you hurry up! Li Qian is still waiting for you!"
Zhou Qing knew there was nothing he could do, but he couldn't watch Dr. Jiang being taken away like this. He closed his eyes and called out to the S-class creature in his heart: I know, you are Bai Yingting. I need your help…
And Bai Yingting, surrounded by more than a dozen lizard monsters, frowned as if he heard Zhou Qing's call.
He fixed these lizard monsters firmly and decomposed their cells bit by bit. The abdomen of the largest lizard monster suddenly burst open and lay on the ground unable to move. The other lizard monsters jumped up and rushed To the door of Bai Ying Ting.
