Gently pushing open the door of the monitoring room, Xingchen saw the long-lost light source.
But only the monitoring display is on.
She didn't know whether the light tube was broken or not turned on, so she didn't test it.
Xingchen turned the monitoring room upside down and couldn't find Qin Qing.
According to her judgment, there were no signs of fighting here, and there were no signs of invasion by deformed people or mutant creatures.
Xingchen was confused and looked at the monitoring screen.
She played back the surveillance video according to the operation manual.
Xingchen zoomed in on one of the pictures, and the person on the screen was Qin Qing.
She was hiding alone in the monitoring room, huddled in the corner.
Suddenly, she stood up.
As if he heard or sensed something, he stared at the door.
A minute later, she suddenly opened the door to the monitoring room and ran out.
Xingchen zoomed out and looked for Qin Qing's whereabouts on other screens.
The surveillance in the underground parking lot was dark and nothing could be seen. Qin Qing was nowhere to be seen at the exits going up.
Xingchen quickly scanned all the screens and finally found it, on the negative second floor.
The screen zoomed in, Qin Qing looked panicked, and looked back while running, as if something was chasing her behind her.
Xingchen zoomed in again and settled on the corridor where Qin Qing ran. There was an arrow painted on the wall of the corridor and three eye-catching red characters.
morgue
Xingchen glanced at the upper right corner of the screen. The time was displayed forty minutes ago.
"Morgue? Is it so exciting?"
**
As soon as we entered the second underground floor, the temperature dropped suddenly.
Looking in the direction of the arrow, there is a long and narrow passage.
The floor height of the channel is very low, and various metal pipes on the top are exposed. The walls were painted white, with only one side equipped with incandescent lamps.
On the left is a row of rooms, with light yellow lacquered wooden doors tightly closed. The door numbers are labeled anatomy room, sample room, and farewell room...
At the end of the passage is the metal door of the morgue.
Too far away, Xingchen couldn't see clearly what was happening on the other side.
The entire passage is dimly lit, gloomy and depressing.
Landuo never appeared, Xingchen no longer waited for her, and observed the surrounding situation while walking.
"Qin Qing?"
Xingchen called Qin Qing's name softly, but received no response.
She cautiously opened the doors, but they were all locked and could not be opened.
The closer you get to the door, the cooler the temperature becomes.
Even when Xingchen was wearing sportswear, he could feel the coldness getting into his skin.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the morgue.
Xingchen listened carefully, and although the voice was very small, she still caught it.
Two brand new fire axes were summoned from space, and the stars continued to move forward.
Along the way, she collected a lot of things, regardless of whether they were needed or not, and stuffed them all into the space. The fire ax has high durability and is not weak in power. She wiped out more than a dozen of them in one go.
A 'crunch' sound.
The door was in disrepair and there was a grinding sound.
The morgue door slowly opened a crack.
She stopped and the incandescent light flashed in response.
The stars flew into the sky with white eyes.
Making a ghost movie?
"I have 24 words of core values to protect my body. Why am I still afraid of idiots like you?"
Even if there really is a ghost, she can blow it up with one punch and it will scatter ashes!
'Snapped--'
A hand suddenly clasped the door, and a pale human face appeared from the crack of the door.
"Damn! I really know how to thank you!"
Xingchen was frightened, and Sam was going crazy.
Blue and white fingers, pale face, coupled with the flickering lights, the visual impact is 999.
"help me--"
The pale white face has a hoarse voice, a hideous and twisted face, and lips that are purple from the cold.
The cracks in the door were opened little by little, and Xingchen could see clearly that the man was lying on the ground.
He struggled to crawl forward, his nails on the ground were all turned up and dripping with blood.
Judging from his attire, he must be a morgue guard.
Xingchen quickly approached with an ax in both hands.
Just as he was about to pull up the man on the ground, he saw a three-sided bone spur as thick as his forearm suddenly penetrated the man's chest!
The unique arms and legs of the mutated octopus are revealed behind the door. After hitting the target, it retracts into the door with the prey.
The heart was pierced, and a gourd of blood spurted out, splashing in arcs in the air.
The man died instantly, his cry of pain stuck in his throat.
Xingchen kicked the door open and saw a familiar scene.
'Buzz! '
Xingchen's mind was buzzing, and broken pictures flashed before his eyes.
She took a deep breath, took two steps back, and calmed down.
The mutated octopus in front of him was larger than the previous one, and the refrigerator door behind it was violently broken open. As far as the stars could see, the refrigerators were empty.
Looking at the mutated octopus, a message immediately popped up on the lens.
{Target locked}
{Contaminant: Level 3 mutated octopus}
{Pollution value: 1327}
{Weakness: Mastermind}
The mutated octopus devoured the living body and spat out the bones with satisfaction.
Human bones, large and small, fell one after another on top of the pile of bones forming a hill.
The data in front of Xingchen's eyes changed.
{Contaminant: Level 4 mutated octopus}
The pollution value in the third row rises rapidly: 1389...1436...1575...1681...
Finally, the pollution value stopped at 1,721.
Having completed the fourth level of evolution, the mutated octopus swings its tentacles lazily, its blood-red eyes staring at the stars.
Xingchen didn't think this was a friendly greeting.
The temperature in the morgue is maintained at -20° all year round.
The mutated octopus moves much slower under low temperature.
Xingchen wiped the blood on his lenses and backed away slowly.
The fourth-level mutated octopus had a fat body. It squeezed out of the morgue door and flattened the metal pipes hanging from the roof. Its tough bone spurs kept piercing the stars.
Xingchen lured the big guy out step by step, and the narrow passage was more conducive to her fighting.
The mutated octopus stuffed itself into the passage and was restrained.
Seven or eight tentacles were squeezed to the point of being unable to move, leaving only the first two that were barely usable.
Xingchen put away the fire ax, put on non-slip labor protection gloves, saw the right moment and grabbed a tentacle with one hand, and tied it into a tight knot in two or two strokes.
The tentacles tied together were still showing their teeth and claws. Xingchen was not satisfied and added two more knots.
'Jie! '
The mutated octopus is angry! anger!
Keep shouting towards the stars.
"What do you call it! Do you know that you are disturbing the people? Do you have a sense of public morality?"
Xingchen called out the fire ax, held it in his hand and shook it.
The mutated octopus saw that its movement was restricted and that it was already at a disadvantage, so it hurriedly retreated.
Xingchen stepped on its tentacles with one foot, chopped off the bone spurs with two axes, and nailed the broken foot to the ground.
'Jie! ————'
Xingchen climbed up to its huge head with a few steps on its arms and legs.
"Jie, uncle!"
She mobilized all her strength and struck the octopus between the eyes with an axe.
Dark blue liquid spurted out like a high-pressure water cannon.
Xingchen became fierce and struck again and again.
The main brain of the octopus was chopped to pieces, and the big guy gradually stopped struggling. Its tentacles were limp and paralyzed on the ground, and its flesh sac also deflated like a deflated balloon.
Xingchen jumped down and found something in the blue liquid at his feet.
It's all black and the size of a table tennis ball.
As soon as Xingchen was picked up, the black ball exploded instantly, spilling out an invisible black substance.
Ding! ——
[Kill the fourth-level mutant octopus and obtain pollution value 1721]
[Obtain low-level pollution core*1, convert pollution value 1000]
[Pollutant detected, pollution value +0.26]
...
After the system prompts, the black substance floating in the air slowly dissipates.
Are the black balls pollution nuclei?
Xingchen thought, it seemed like it fell out of the master brain, and then the mutant octopus died completely.
So contamination cores are the weakness of mutated creatures?
Moreover, it seems that only mutant creatures above level four can evolve pollution cores.
"who?"
Xingchen's eyes narrowed and he looked at the door on the left.
A faint cry suddenly came from the room next to the 'duty room'.
