In the infrared monitor, a researcher spawn jumped into the field of view of the camera. The defense system in the main control room reads the target image, compares the pupils and other relevant information in the database, and finds that the creatures in the field of view of the camera are not members of the base. The defense system immediately issued an attack command, and the microcomputers hanging outside the main control room opened fire immediately, and the base that had been silent for decades resounded with intensive gunfire.
During the flame spit, the firing rate of 60 rounds per minute allowed the bullet rain to pour on the researcher's body. The researcher uses only his hands in front of his face to protect the vital organs in the brain, while the rest of the body is left to be ravaged by bullets. The monster, which was shot to pieces by the bullets, rushed forward under the firepower. When he came to the weapon platform hanging in the sky, Yan Body jumped up high, grabbed the machine gun with both hands and pulled it out suddenly, and immediately pulled the machine gun off.
When Yan Body jumped to the ground, his body was riddled with holes. But the researcher didn't take it seriously at all, and at this time, the other two nearby weapon platforms also started firing. Gunshots and flames appeared in the base from time to time, and the still functioning microcomputers faithfully executed the defense program. Although judging from the fact that there were few casualties in the spawn, such an attack was not powerful enough.
In the control room, Zero glanced at the cameras of several monitors, and stopped paying attention to the situation outside. Although the threat of micro-machine punches to the spin-offs is limited, the armored outer wall of the control room is not something that these spin-offs that have not yet evolved offensive weapons can break through. Compared with the spawn, Zero is more focused on the work in front of him. He was busy operating in front of the podium, moving his hands on the virtual light screen, decomposing and comparing several three-dimensional topographic maps called from the main computer, and using the computer as an aid, he could find out the location of the biochemical zone. location and the shortest route.
Iger*'s video mentions that Dr. Codd, who was parasitized by Z-matter, has a fatal flaw. Now that he is leaving the base, a conflict with Codd is inevitable. The main computer has shown that all known external passages have been closed, and now only the working passage in the purification unit is left. But there must be Ke De's trap. To leave the base, there seems to be no other way than killing the humanoid monster parasitized by the Z substance.
According to the information provided by Iger*, Z matter has the instinct of infinite division and evolution. It can be said that after being parasitized by it, Kord has become a terrible monster. Judging from the constantly appearing spinoffs and their evolution through fighting with zero in a short period of time, the longer the battle with them drags on, the more unfavorable it is for zero.
Under such circumstances, Zero Geng needs to know the flaws of the Z substance in order to be able to kill with one blow.
Soon, the computer had planned the shortest route to the biochemical experiment area. Judging from the distance of the route, if Zero moves forward at full speed, it only takes 5 minutes to arrive. But he looked at Beyonce, and had to recalculate the arrival time in his mind.
Beyoncé seemed to sense Zero's gaze, she turned around, only to see that the beautiful Patriarch had somehow collected the weapons left by the guards in the control room, and armed himself like a small soldier who charged into battle.
At a glance, besides four or five automatic rifles, besides Beyonce, there are two micro-machine guns, several ammunition boxes, and about twenty fragments*. There is also a rocket launcher and five shells.
Beyoncé smiled at Zero and said, "Go ahead and do what you want to do, and I'll stay here. Let's not talk about whether those things can sneak in, even if they can, with these good things, I will let them know that they are here. Miss is amazing!"
She wiped her nose with a stubborn look on her face.
Zero knew that Beyoncé didn't want to be a burden to her, but it might be a good idea for her to stay in the control room. This is the safest place in the base, almost like a fortress. It is impossible to sneak in with only those fifth and sixth-order derivatives with bare hands. It is definitely safer for Beyoncé to stay in the control room than to stay by Zero's side. After all, Zero is going to probably be Curd's lair.
"Alright, I'll be back as soon as possible. Believe me, I won't leave you behind." Zero said, kissing Beyoncé gently on the forehead.
Beyonce hugged Ling with all her strength, and said: "You are mine, Zero. So, I won't allow you to have anything to do, you have to come back alive to see me!"
"Yes, sir." Zero smiled.
Beyonce let go of him, pushed Ling and said, "Go, don't worry about me."
Nodding, the two walked out of the control room and came to the exit where Iger*'s body was. Zero ordered: "As soon as I rush out, I will attract the attention of those monsters. Don't worry about anything, as soon as I leave, you immediately close the door."
"I see."
After making all the preparations, Zero pressed the open button of the gate. Immediately, the armored gate on the inside rose upwards first, while the gate on the outside slowly opened. The time when the gate opened attracted the attention of nearby spinoffs. Before they could react, Zero flew out at high speed with afterimages. In order to attract the attention of the spawn, he did not use the shadow jump, but ran at full speed, and at the same time materialized two submachine guns in his hands. Zero fired while running, and the line of fire that shuttled through the darkness immediately attracted the spawn.
They just jumped off the outer wall of the central control room, screaming strangely and chasing Zero.
The moment Zero left, Beyonce rushed from behind the cover to the door, and hit the close button heavily. In this way, she watched the door open and close, and quickly cut off Zero's figure from her sight.
When Beyoncé was the only one left in the central control room, she turned her head to look at Iger's body and shook her head with a smile. Beyonce dragged *'s body aside, and dragged tables and chairs from the control room to form a simple cover. There is a 100-meter-long passage from the gate to the control room. This passage will become the focus of Beyonce's defense.
On this short 100-meter passage, she has arranged three checkpoint-style cover. If there are not zero people coming in from outside the gate, then Beyonce will use these checkpoints to pour fierce firepower on other things. In addition, she also found some slender steel wires, combined them with fragments *, and some simple traps to restrict the passage of infantry.
As she puts it herself, Beyoncé uses everything she has learned to create an enabling environment that will keep her safe. She is not one of those women who need to rely on men to survive. Since her mother took over the position of Patriarch, she has been destined to become a warrior. No matter in the business field or in the real battlefield!
The sound of the gun echoed in the passage of the base, and when it disappeared, the last spawn chasing Zero fell to the ground powerlessly. His forehead was riddled with bullet holes, and a quick blow from the submachine gun nearly shattered one of the spawn's faces. What's more, the bullet damaged the important organ in his brain, so this dangerous killing tool had to stop working.
Zero's expression was not happy at all.
The basic abilities of this batch of derivatives have been improved, making it necessary for Ling to pay more effort and energy every time he kills a derivative. These things don't seem obvious, but when the amount accumulates to a certain level, it will become a terrible disadvantage. Ke De didn't need to take action himself, as long as he kept sending spawns, the crowd tactics alone were enough to drag Zero to death.
This makes Zero even more determined to find out the defects of the Z substance, otherwise, this battle will not be fought.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the biochemical experiment area was right in front of us.
It's eerily quiet here.
Zero couldn't feel any traces of spinoff activities, he thought for a while, materialized a few guns, and installed them in the hidden place of the passage, in case of emergency. After doing this, Zero entered the biochemical experiment area alone. Through a door that has stopped working, walk through a silent disinfection passage. However, Zero, who had made all the mental preparations, couldn't help being stunned when he actually entered the experimental area.
He had imagined any situation, but he never thought that the experimental area was still in operation!
Zero almost doubted his eyes. In front of his eyes, the squarely arranged culture tanks were emitting emerald green fluorescence. That's because the lighting in the cultivation tank emits light through the nutrient matrix, and in this faint green light, there are still naked human bodies floating one after another.
These people include men and women, and there are even a few old people and children inside. Without exception, these people have a special biological organ attached to their chest. It looks like a slender spider, with eight tentacles protruding from the edge of the prismatic organ and burrowing deep into the human body. The reason why it looks like an organ is because the thing expands and shrinks to a degree, like a peripheral heart.
Zero carefully checked the culture tank, and found that the data on the screen below the culture tank showed that the people inside had normal life reactions. But the strange thing is that they seem to have fallen into a deep sleep, and they should be awakened by something that suppressed their will. Zero looked at the biological organs on these people's chests again, thinking that it should have something to do with this strange thing.
At this moment, a deep and hoarse voice sounded: "What do you think of my 'food'? Powerful invaders, no doubt, they are all living people."
Zero looked at the source of the sound, but all he could see were numerous cultivation tanks arranged squarely. He quickly swept towards the phalanx of cultivation tanks, and a faint figure disappeared in the distance. Then, the voice came from elsewhere: "In addition to most of these exhibits are the researchers before the base, there are also a small part of the wilderness wanderers in the villages and towns near the surface. How about it, are you very excited to hear this news. That's right, there is indeed a passage leading to the outside world in this base, do you want to know where it is?"
"Is it the working channel of the water purification unit area? Dr. Curd!" Zero stood still and said coldly.
The voice sounded from the direction behind Zero again: "It seems that Iger has left quite a lot of messages, so let me guess again, are you here to find the research materials of Callahan's old thing? Well, I It is admitted that something like Substance Z does have flaws. However, do you think I will let the data that records its flaws exist to this day?"
Dr. Curd's voice came from all directions, making it impossible for Zero to catch his position. As Iger said, Curd is not only cruel, but also cunning.
"That really surprised me. It seems that the parasitism of Z-matter didn't completely turn you into a mad dog." Zero sarcastically said.
In an instant, there was a faint killing intent from the direction on the left. Zero turned around, but just as he raised his gun, the murderous intent disappeared.
"I have to say, you are really a dangerous guy. You don't have to try to provoke me. I can sell things like this, and I definitely do better than you. Instead of trying to provoke me, you should worry about your own situation. Intruder. You are very powerful, so powerful that it makes my heart flutter. My kingdom has not had food of your quality for a long time. So don't worry, I won't kill you right away." Curd laughed: "I will keep you awake, but tear off your skin, your flesh little by little. I will taste you slowly and completely absorb your powerful genes to correct certain defects of Substance Z. I believe, etc. After completely absorbing you, I will evolve into a perfect creature!"
"Should I be deeply honored that you value it?" Zero sneered.
Curd laughed and said, "Of course, it's your honor to be part of my genes, invader."
"It seems that you have stayed in the base for too long, and you have become a long-winded old man."
"Maybe, after all, you and that woman were my first visitors in the past twenty years. To show my respect, I will prepare the highest standard death feast for you." Curd said in a dark voice .
Zero was silent, and he lowered his head. The bangs blocked his eyes, and the fluorescent light from the culture tank shone on Zero's face, but Ke De, who was hiding in a certain corner, could clearly see the smile gradually drawn from Zero's face.
There are many meanings in this smile, at least Curd can read contempt and confidence.
Contempt for Kord, and self-confidence.
"What are you laughing at!" Ke De asked angrily, while keeping moving.
Zero said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen anyone as stupid as you. Dr. Kodd, Substance Z gave you a very terrifying gene, but it doesn't seem to be able to improve your intelligence. Otherwise, why would you tell yourself I have Z material defects, even if it’s just one of them.”
"What?" Ke De was stunned, and said, "When did I tell you?"
"Haven't you noticed yet?" Zero looked at the people in the training tank and said, "You said that some of these people came from the surface, and pointed out that Bisi and I were the first visitors to the base in the past twenty years. In other words, you have stayed here for a long time In the base. Although you can go to the surface, you only bring back refugees from nearby villages and towns, which means your radius of activity is limited."
"I'm curious, what is the reason for such a powerful creature like you that makes you nostalgic for this underground base like a tomb?" Zero smiled lightly: "The answer is naturally not something like nostalgia, but that you can't leave .Then what makes you unable to leave? Or, what is on the surface that Matter Z is afraid of? Radiation?"
"No, the radiation on the surface is after the cataclysm. Dr. Callaghan probably didn't imagine the environment of the new era from the Z matter produced in the old era. Therefore, it should be something that is older, and something that existed in the old era. .Then let me guess, could it be the sun? Or the ultraviolet rays in the sun?"
Suddenly, Zero felt that Dr. Curd, who was constantly moving, froze for a moment. Immediately, he knew that he had found one of the weaknesses of Matter Z!
