Chapter 2006 The Ultimate Person is Me 28
A night passed, and there was still no news of the person who went down. If nothing unexpected happened, then something must have happened.
“They’ve probably run into trouble. What should we do?” Xue Qian asked Su Yan, as was her habit.
Now Su Yan is everyone's backbone. Even if she says to rush down to save people immediately, they won't hesitate for a second.
Su Yan pretended to be deep in thought, but in reality he was using his divine sense to sense the situation in the underground laboratory.
After she had looked around enough, she said, "The underground laboratory must be very dangerous. There are probably many freakish creatures in it, so we need to be prepared when we go down. Zombies may just be the most common things, so you can't relax at all. I have some crystal cores here. Share them and use them to restore your abilities. If we still haven't heard from them after an hour, we'll send five people down to check. If we haven't returned after two hours, the rest of you don't need to go down. Just go back to base and report."
Everyone felt a little heavy-hearted after hearing Su Yan's words.
No one can guarantee they won't run into trouble when they're on a mission, but dying here would be a bit of a waste.
"Everyone, please take good care of yourselves. I have some amulets here. I bought them from a high-ranking monk at the base when I was on a mission. They're said to have been blessed. Take them, just in case they come in handy. After all, we've got zombies now. It's the apocalypse, so what's impossible?"
The person who originally didn't want it silently accepted the amulet and put it in their pocket after hearing Su Yan's words.
As everyone regained their powers, no one spoke for a moment.
An hour later, Su Yan led Xue Qian, Wang Wanhua, Xiao Ming, and a metal-type ability user named Xi Chuan down to the underground laboratory.
"There's also an elevator; there are over a hundred floors in total!"
"No wonder they haven't come back up after being down for so long. How could they possibly find it in such a short time with so many buildings?"
"A chill ran up my spine. What if I see zombies when the elevator doors open?"
"Brother, you haven't pressed the floor button yet. Which floor?"
Su Yan then suggested, "How about we go to the 50th basement level? Let's see if they've been there before deciding whether to go up or down."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Nishikawa pressed the button for the 50th basement level and couldn't help but feel uneasy. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the underground was more terrifying than the surface.
Ding dong.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, a stench hit them. Before the people inside could react, Su Yan rushed out and kicked away a zombie that had lunged in.
With a thud, the spotlights above the four people shone and they saw a zombie with red eyes and white fur, which looked more like a wild monkey.
The zombie crawled quickly across the ground and rushed towards Su Yan. Su Yan jumped up and swiftly slashed his knife across the zombie's back.
The blood that splattered out with a "plop" sound was all dark red.
The four people in the elevator then realized what was happening and hurriedly came out to help.
However, before they could attack the zombie, there was another muffled thud, and the four of them saw a head roll down at the elevator entrance.
They didn't even see how Su Yan made her move; her actions were far too fast!
"Let's go, there shouldn't be any more zombies."
"Oh."
In fact, Su Yan already knew there was a mutated zombie outside the door and had made preparations in advance.
There were signs of a struggle in the laboratory on the 50th basement level. The five people followed the bloodstains to the door of a laboratory.
"Gene Lab No. 368, what kind of gene experiment is this?"
The glass door to the laboratory was open, and the group shone lights around, discovering that the tables had been turned upside down.
There are no bodies here; they have most likely already gone down below.
This time, Su Yan had them press the button for the 60th floor.
"This way we can search faster. If there are no traces on the 60th floor, we'll search upwards; if there are traces of them, we'll search downwards."
"Okay, that will make it faster."
When the elevator doors opened on the 60th basement level, there was nothing outside, but a strange smell.
"What is the taste?"
"Smells fishy, everyone be careful."
The mention of a fishy smell inevitably brought to mind things like snakes, crocodiles, and octopuses.
As they walked forward, Xue Qian suddenly turned around and looked behind her, but found nothing.
"what happened?"
"I always felt like there was something behind me, and there was a rustling sound."
No, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?
Xiao Ming used his fire-based supernatural ability to shine the light on the object, but found nothing.
"That's probably because I'm always paranoid."
When they pushed open the laboratory door, the fishy smell became even stronger.
The laboratory was filled with giant fish tanks, but there were no fish inside.
"Mermaid Research Laboratory. Do mermaids really exist?"
"I don't know. Aren't they conducting research? What results did they get?"
Xue Qian picked up the research materials and started reading, but after only two minutes, she uttered a curse.
"Holy crap, they're using live people and fish for mermaid research!"
"what's going on?"
"It says here that they discovered mermaid-like skeletons and firmly believed in the existence of mermaids, which is to cultivate many so-called mermaids by combining human genes and fish genes."
"Could there be some monsters here?"
"I don't know, but it's always better to be careful."
"Ah."
Xue Qian couldn't help but glance back again, but there was nothing there. Yet she still felt that something was behind her.
It's like someone walking alone at night always feeling like someone is behind them.
The five continued walking in and saw drag marks on the ground.
"They've been here before, and there was a fight. Be careful."
"Ah."
999: "Watch out behind you!"
Su Yan turned around and used her knife to block the suddenly appearing tentacles. With a slash, she severed the tentacles, which fell to the ground.
"what!"
"It's an octopus, everyone be careful."
Su Yan looked at the octopus with a huge human head that was staring at her in the darkness.
"Help! Help me..."
"Someone is calling for help!"
Su Yan looked at another tightly closed door; the cries for help must have come from inside.
Another tentacle swept over with lightning speed, knocking Xi Chuan, Xiao Ming, and Xue Qian to the ground, while Wang Wanhua was swept up and pulled away.
"Ah, help!"
Su Yan rushed forward quickly, her feet barely touching the ground. With just a few light taps, she leaped up and slashed off the tentacle with her sword.
When Wang Wanhua landed, Su Yan pulled her up, preventing her from falling flat on her face.
"Wow, this octopus is terrifying!"
Wang Wanhua, still shaken, ran to where Xue Qian and the others were.
The four of them teamed up to attack the octopus, and seeing its densely packed suckers was absolutely terrifying.
"Using water molecule bombs?"
"No, be careful not to blow up the underground laboratory, unless you can control the explosion to target the octopus."
"You can try it."
"Alright then, I'll go lure it out."
Su Yan ran over in a few more steps, but in the darkness, they couldn't see what she did.
But a dozen seconds later, they saw a giant human-headed octopus chasing after her.
"Attack quickly!"
"Oh."
The group quickly launched their supernatural attacks.
"boom!"
Several of the octopus's tentacles exploded one after another.
The entire laboratory was shaken.
Wait until the explosion stops, then go up and finish them off.
Enraged, the octopus went into berserk mode, writhing and destroying everything in its path, turning anything it could into dust.
Su Yan seized the opportunity and delivered a few more blows.
All they saw was her constantly changing positions, and the moment she stopped, a three-meter-tall, seven-meter-long human-headed octopus collapsed.
"Wow!"
"Help, help me..."
Before they could even marvel at Su Yan's prowess, they were interrupted by the cry for help.
When they opened the door, they saw Zhang Li, a member of a small team, sitting against the wall, with blood flowing around her hands.
"what happened to you?"
"I was bitten by a zombie, so I cut off my left arm myself."
"Where are your teammates?"
"We've been separated, help me."
Xue Qian examined her wound; the blood was bright red, indicating she wasn't infected with the zombie virus.
What a ruthless person, he actually cut off his own arm!
They can't do that!
