With a "click", the crack in the door was blocked by bone claws.
If a normal flesh and blood body was pinched so hard by a three centimeter thick metal plate, it would definitely be painful.
However, there is obviously no such thing as "pain perception" in a dry bone. Not only does it not care, half of its arm is still twisting and scratching, trying to reopen the door.
Seeing this, Mo Tiangen simply pulled out his saber from his waist, and slashed at the dry bones several times like chopping wood.
Although the bones of these skeleton monsters are strong, they are not invulnerable after all, and the two bones on their forearms obviously did not proliferate to an abnormally thick level. Both of them broke, and the broken arm also fell to the ground.
The monster outside scratching the door finally withdrew its hand.
There was no obstacle in the steel gate, and it closed automatically.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hoo, hoo hoo..."
Ji Thrush put his hand against the door panel, gasping for breath.
At this moment, he really felt that "Peach Blossom Spring" was too difficult to mess with!
Even an F-level dungeon is difficult to achieve this kind of virtue, so what the hell is a B-level, A-level or even S-level dungeon
As for the legendary SS level dungeon that no one has broken through so far, it is even more unimaginable, as long as you think about it, you will feel chilling.
No wonder so far, no one has broken through the difficulty of SS level and was able to return to the original world.
Even the legendary boss who occupied the top of the obelisk for a long time failed...
... No no no, now is not the time to think wildly!
Ji Thrush shook his head vigorously, throwing out all the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
At this time, he had the time to carefully observe the environment he was in now.
The quarter-thrush first smelled a nauseating stench in the air.
This smell is really unique. He remembered that last summer, a mouse died under the closet in the dormitory. When everyone noticed it, they smelled such a stench of protein decay.
Unlike other laboratories they had passed through before, this room did not have spacious and bright windows, fume hoods, operating tables, medicine cabinets and various experimental equipment arranged in a U-shape.
There isn't even a single window here.
There are only filing cabinets that are taller than a person, and two desks on the wall next to the door, and the computers that go with them.
— This looks like a reference room!
Ji Thrush's heart skipped a beat twice, and he finally realized what "there is no such thing as a road to heaven"!
Anyone who has played games like Resident Evil knows what is the most important thing in order to pass the level smoothly? —Of course to get clues!
So where are the most clues? —Of course it’s rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the reference room!
However, as soon as he turned his eyes, the eyes that were so pleasantly surprised just now froze instantly.
He saw the back side of the innermost filing cabinet, and there was a person—a dead body, to be precise.
Ji Thrush swallowed, summoned up his courage, and decided to take a closer look.
Just two steps closer, the stench of corruption in the air became more intense.
Just based on the very characteristic stinking smell that makes people sick, he can tell that this person has been dead for some time.
It was a woman.
She was wearing a blood-stained white coat, lying face down on the ground, revealing only the messy bun on the back of her head and two arms covered with scars. If her body was not turned over, and her face could not be seen, It is difficult to determine the age of the deceased.
But the cause of her death is very clear.
The white coat on the side of the corpse was torn in one piece, exposing the same shirt with a big hole inside, and a piece of meat bigger than a bowl was missing from the waist, exposing the bloody internal organs, red, black and red. It's so black that you can't see what it is.
Such a wound looks like it was bitten out.
— This is the second one.
Ji Thrush thought.
The female corpse in front of him was the second corpse he saw that had died from a monster attack but had no mutations since he entered the research institute.
"Well, when I saw this person, I knew what was going on."
Mo Tiangen, who was standing behind Ji Thrush, touched his chin, and acted as Sherlock Holmes to solve the case:
"I saw this door open just now, and a monster rushed out of it..."
He pointed to the corpse on the ground, "So, it seems that the eldest sister was bitten to death by a monster before closing the door?"
As he said that, Mr. Dagen's expression turned cold, as if he had thought of the point of the question:
"Then again, why didn't she mutate?"
While they were talking, the sound of a bullet being loaded suddenly came from behind.
The two turned their heads quickly, and saw Rose holding a gun, pointing the gun straight at a soldier.
"Did you get bitten just now?"
The red-haired beauty's expression was as cold as ice, and her tone was extremely severe.
Everyone focused their eyes on the soldier at the same time, and they saw that he was covering his left arm with his right hand, and the camouflage uniform had been dyed dark brown by some kind of liquid at the place where he was holding down.
"It's just a scratch..."
The soldier muttered his lips twice, and managed to force out an excuse.
Ji Thrush recognized this person as Bing Geer who was in the same car with them on the way here.
At that time, he was talking and laughing with them while chewing gum, looking fearless, especially like a ruffian in the American army.
But now, the originally ruffian soldier turned blue and sweaty, and when he spoke, not only his voice, but even his lips trembled.
Rose didn't listen to his explanation at all:
"Roll up your sleeves and let me see the wound!"
The man tightly tightened the palm covering the wound, raised his head, and looked at Rose with a pleading face: "Head, boss..."
Rose snapped: "Roll up your sleeves!!"
Little by little, the soldier rolled up his sleeves inch by inch with a livid face.
No matter how slow his movements were, when he rolled to the elbow, everyone still saw a flesh-and-skin wound on his forearm—it was indeed a tooth mark!
"Bang, bang bang!"
Rose fired without hesitation.
The bullets hit the soldier's head one after another at such a short distance, and immediately shattered his skull.
The blood sprayed out from the broken cavity smeared all over the wall. The scene made the throat of classmate Ji Xiaoniao, who grew up in the peaceful age, swell, and he almost couldn't control his desire to vomit.
"He was bitten. If he is not killed, he will turn into a monster. I am here to protect everyone."
Rose withdrew her gun, turned to look at the last surviving soldier, and explained coldly.
The big soldier's face was pale, he couldn't say a word, he couldn't even nod his head.
The red-haired beauty turned her head to look at Ji Thrush again.
Her lips moved slightly twice, and the voice she made was very soft, "It's just 'aboriginal people'..."
— just "natives".
At this moment, Ji Thrush finally realized that the girl Rose is really ruthless!
Perhaps it should be said that until now, he has suddenly realized that he has never truly understood how cruel the "worlds" created by "Peach Blossom Spring" are.
He thought, if it was him, even if he noticed the wound on the soldier's arm, he would never be able to kill him so simply.
Even though Ji Thrush intellectually understands that Rose's approach is actually the most correct, he still knows that he cannot do it.
If it is just because the person who is about to face a change is just an "indigenous person", so their lives are irrelevant, and if necessary, they can be deprived of their lives without hesitation for their own safety, in case the soldier who was bitten by the monster just now is not this soldier, But he or Mo Tiangen, or... What about Ren Jianmo
If Rose also raises a gun at them on the grounds of "this is to protect everyone"... what should I do
At this moment, seeing all this, Ji Thrush's thoughts turned a thousand times.
Both he and Ren Jianmo suspected that the "worlds" they experienced were not empty spaces created by data or other virtual programs, but the "reality" that really existed in a certain plane and belonged here. ".
Rather than saying that these people are "indigenous people", it is better to say that these participants are the real "outsiders".
Going back to the question just now, Ji Thrush asked himself that he really couldn't be like Rose, whose reason is better than emotion, but since he and his companions have come to this "world", then he has only one choice, and that is to follow Ren Jian Together with Mo Tiangen, they tried their best to get all three of them out alive...
…
Just when Ji Thrush was deep in thought, a hand suddenly put on his shoulder.
When he looked back, he was facing a pair of pupils with different colors on the left and right.
Those eyes looked at him calmly and calmly.
"Don't think too much about it."
Ren Jianmo's palm increased slightly:
"You just have to do what you think is right."
After finishing speaking, Ren Jianmo raised his delicate eyebrows and eyes towards Ji Thrush, showing a slight smile.
Ji Thrush: "!!"
His heart involuntarily "thumped, thumped" several times.
— Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Ji Xiaoniao's ears turned red uncontrollably.
—So, is he trying to comfort me!
—Oh my god, Ren Damei would comfort me so tenderly! !
"Okay, okay!"
While trying his best to calm down his darling who was being bumped by the deer, Ji Thrush stretched out his hand to grab Ren Jianmo's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm.
"You, your hands are so cold, this..."
He stuttered and said nervously, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to take a rest?"
"It doesn't matter."
Ren Jianmo patted the back of Ji Xiaoniao's hand reassuringly, and then withdrew his held hand.
"Now, there is one more important thing."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, passed Ji Thrush, took a few steps forward, squatted down in front of the corpse lying behind the cabinet, then stretched out his hand, and rolled up the sleeves of the deceased's white coat all the way to the shoulder.
While doing all this, Ren Jianmo's expression remained calm as usual, as if what he was facing was not a rotten and swollen corpse, but just a plastic mannequin lying on the ground.
"really."
Ren Jianmo stood up, "There is a needle mark left by a syringe on her arm."
"A needle eye?"
Hearing what he said, everyone bite the bullet and leaned forward, carefully observing the corpse on the ground.
Even though it was in the laboratory area with a constant temperature of 18 degrees, after so many days, the corpse had already shown signs of decay.
The exposed arm of the female corpse was more than twice as swollen. The gray skin was covered with cyanotic vine-like blood vessels, and there were many wounds of different lengths and depths. The opened flesh had already turned black and red.
Even though the body was in such dire condition, they found five circular crimson scars on her arm, arranged in a quincunx pattern.
"what is this?"
Rose pinched her nose and moved a little closer, asking in a low voice.
Mo Tiangen is a student of biology, and his major is somewhat ambiguous, so he was the first to react.
"Is this... a vaccine!?"
He slapped his thigh violently:
"She didn't mutate because of this! So, there is a vaccine in this research that can resist mutation!?"
"Well, maybe."
Ren Jianmo nodded lightly, and then revealed another piece of even more astonishing information:
"I also found such plum blossom-shaped marks on the priest's arm before."
Hearing this, Ji Thrush suddenly realized - no wonder he stumbled while shaking hands with the pastor. It turned out that he was taking this opportunity to check the injection marks on the old man's body!
"in addition… "
Ren Jianmo suddenly stretched out his hand without warning, grabbed Annie's arm, then ignored her screaming and struggling, and pulled up her sleeve—
"You have the same injection marks on your arm, right?"
