We handed the magic crystal corpse to the outpost laboratory. The task was already overfulfilled. Feng suggested that we return the next day.
"Then Chen Xuejun's death...how will we explain it to everyone when we go back?" Yu asked in a low voice...
"It's probably the remaining magic crystal... I haven't found any suspicious behavior around. Maybe it's the remaining magic crystal waiting for revenge. It just so happened that Chen Xuejun was unlucky and was single, so he met with misfortune."
"This is self-deception," Yugiri said casually while looking at a palm specimen of magic crystal in the jar through the glass, "This thing is less than half a meter tall, how can it bend a 1.7-meter-seven living person into that shape?" What does it look like? And we have fought against that thing before. Their attack was a group attack, and Chen Xuejun was disemboweled."
Just as Feng was about to retort, Xiwu waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm just saying, I don't care how he died, and I don't care how you explain it to the people in the shelter. I mean, our way back is probably the same. It’s hard to walk.”
Everyone was silent anymore, each thinking about their own thoughts.
I stood next to Wen Na. I wanted to speak several times, but when I thought about being monitored, I held back. I still don’t know how to actively locate the voice, so I can only wait for Wen Na to contact me first. It feels so passive. torment.
Dr. Marin looked like he had stayed up all night, his eyes were red, his expression was no longer as high-spirited as when he first met, and exhaustion was written all over his face.
"Are you leaving today?"
"Yes, everything is done. Go back and do your work as soon as possible. The people in the shelter are still waiting for us to report on the situation outside."
"That's really a pity. If you come here once, I haven't taken you to the end yet, so you'll have to wait until I have the chance in the future!"
"sure."
Dr. Feng and Dr. Marin were talking in an official tone, but Zhao Kai, a rough guy, took it seriously and even interjected.
"Oh, Dr. Marin, you are so amazing. The data you mentioned yesterday, two new species No. 5 can turn into millions in one year. I thought about it all night before I finally understood. But I still have a question. ..."
"Say." Dr. Marin looked at Zhao Kai with a smile.
"I see that this new animal No. 5 can grow so much in one day! So how do they raise them? What do they feed? Don't you have to feed chickens with corn leaves? What do these things eat?"
Sure enough, the new animal No. 5 we saw yesterday grew a lot bigger in just one night! This growth rate is simply terrifying!
Dr. Marin's smile deepened, but it seemed to me that his expression was a little stiff.
"It's just some ordinary feed. Their feeding will definitely not take up human survival resources. Nowadays, a grain of rice is very valuable. We have more practical feed. Do you want to see it?"
Just when Feng was about to refuse, Zhao Kai agreed, "I want to! I want to see it!" Zhao Kai couldn't see Feng winking at him at all, and was still talking to Dr. Marin, "When I was a child, at home, I also raised a few pigs, so I have always been interested in this aspect!”
"Haha." Dr. Marin laughed dryly and led the way.
We came to the back of the laboratory. The lights here had extremely high wattage, illuminating the corridor as if it were daytime. On both sides of the corridor were small rooms with glass windows. There was a horizontal bar under the window, and some sticky materials were piled inside. The slimy stuff should be feed.
"These rooms contain Test Sample No. 2. The survival rate is quite high, and we are still in the observation period."
I saw that there were indeed a group of animals that looked like hairless cats in these rooms, but their faces were more like mice and they had some fine hairs on their bodies.
"This is New Animal No. 3. It is a semi-finished product. The meat output of this thing is too little, so we continued to improve it and made New Animal No. 4."
The new animal species No. 3 are slender and furry things. When they see people coming, they make chirping sounds and crowd into the whole room.
"Behind this is our feed studio," Dr. Marin pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, and a putrid smell hit his face...
There is a large mixer here, roaring and turning, and what is stirred out is some dark brown viscous fluid.
"What kind of raw materials are used in this? Why does it smell so bad?"
The top of the mixer was constantly loading, and a few small pieces of raw material fell out. I saw that it was a foot, a human foot.
"It's a corpse." Chaoyang patted Zhao Kai and said softly.
"Yes, the raising of New Animal No. 4 also requires meat or grain as raw materials, while New Animal No. 5 has been completely transformed into a scavenger. Now there is a shortage of everything outside, and the most indispensable thing is carrion."
As the feed was made, two people came to carry it away and entered the feeding area to start feeding. The feed was poured into the horizontal pen. New livestock No. 5 immediately swarmed over, scrambling to eat. Looking at the scene, I swear I will never eat meat from the shelter again.
Accidents always happen when people are least prepared.
The glass next to it suddenly shattered to the ground. It was the glass display window of New Animal No. 4 next to it that was smashed. Long-haired black mice that were bigger than dogs jumped out, their sneaky eyes cooing under their hair. It's spinning...
"What's going on!" Dr. Marin was also a little flustered and asked the staff next to him.
"I don't know! The glass was broken from the inside!"
"How can this tempered glass break? Hurry up and press the rescue button! Call the outpost for reinforcements!"
"Why are you so nervous if the glass is broken?" Yu asked puzzledly.
"They are carnivores." Yugiri had already pulled out his personal knife.
One of the staff members leaned against the wall and carefully tried to press the communication button at the door, but was already noticed by these things. These things surged up like a tide, drowning a person in an instant.
There were chirping sounds one after another. When we came in, we didn't expect this to happen at all. The weapons were stored in the disinfection area outside the laboratory, except for the dagger that was carried close to the body.
Yugiri exerted force on her wrist, and the dagger in her hand flew out and inserted into the leg of a new animal No. 5 who was eating the staff, but this thing was not affected at all and was still feasting!
It seemed that it was impossible to get out of the breeding area today without losing a layer of skin... I also took out the dagger given to me by Wen Na from between my calves, and prepared to give it a try.
In less than two minutes, all that was left of the unfortunate keeper was a skeleton...
"Take a good look, this is the monster you have researched!" Wen Na's face was as cold as ice, while Dr. Marin, who was hiding at the end of the crowd, was so frightened that his glasses fell to the tip of his nose and he didn't bother to push them up.
Dr. Marin, who feeds the new animals he cultivated with the bones of others, has no scruples and thinks that he is saving mankind. What if he feeds it with his own flesh and blood? When the sacrifice is not for one's own interests, anyone can stand on the moral high ground and speak righteous words to create a glorious and majestic image of himself.
These things were obviously not full yet and noticed us in the corridor. At this moment, the door to the laboratory at the other end was opened. A staff member came in and saw a group of oversized long-haired black mice in the corridor. While chewing on a skeleton, he was also stunned and stunned in place.
"Call for reinforcements! We are in trouble!" Dr. Marin shouted!
This person reacted quickly. He quickly pressed the button, and the alarm lights instantly turned on in the corridor. These new beasts, No. 4, must have been living in the light. They are not used to the current dark red light, and they are beginning to become manic. Messing around.
During this gap, we all returned to the feed production room, closed the door tightly, and waited for the support of the outpost guards.
