The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

After emptying the warehouse, there was no need to stay here any longer, so Shen Ge opened the [Map] and compared it with the holographic map detected by the blood spider, trying to find the weak points of this strange space.

At first Shen Ge suspected that this strange space and the giant turtle had merged strangely, but considering his previous experiences, it was not that simple.

To verify your hypothesis, the first thing to do is to find the "heart chamber" here.

"Let's go." Shen Ge walked towards the cabin door.

Camille followed him subconsciously. Shirley was still immersed in Shen Ge's strange and changeable methods, and subconsciously asked: "Where are we going?"

"Find a way out. Do you want to settle down here?" Shen Ge asked back.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Shirley apologized quickly.

The hatch was covered in thick rotten flesh and blood. Anyone who wanted to go through it directly would obviously be affected by the strong sense of paranormal erosion.

As Shen Ge continued to release strange energy to strengthen the power of "collapse" and try to break through the defense of flesh and blood, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be something trying to drill out of the twisted flesh and blood.

The next second, the flesh on the metal hatch was peeled off, revealing the metal hatch behind it. There was a big hole on the door, and a disgusting monster's head was "stuck" in the big hole on the door.

Shen Ge did not see the monster before because it was covered with a thick layer of flesh and blood, and the monster was also sealed by the flesh and blood and fell into "pseudo death". Now that the flesh and blood were peeled off, it immediately woke up.

"Gulu."

"Gulu."

This strange, thin and tall creature, apart from having its skin peeled off, looks like a "human" stretched to three meters.

"Are these... those 'weird people' that appeared on the upper level?" Shen Ge looked at the skinless monsters, and while waking up the system to scan, he also asked Xiao Qi to conduct a comprehensive detection.

This strange man's entire body was rotten. He was half-lying on the ground with no skin on his body. His dark red flesh showed obvious signs of decay, and the stench from his body was so bad that it made people feel nauseous and want to vomit.

"Shen, Captain Shen, what... is this?" Shirley's face was pale. Even though she had participated in search teams to the outside world more than once in the new era under the doomsday and had seen all kinds of weird things, this was the first time she had seen something so disgusting... something that exuded a foul smell.

"Wait, could it be... it is the weirdo?" Shirley recalled the scenes of her previous encounters with the weirdo, and soon the two figures overlapped.

This was her first time to come into close contact with a strange man, and her curiosity about him clearly outweighed her fear. If it were not for the limitations of the environment and equipment, as one of the few research team members at the Dawn Base, she really wanted to get close and study this strange man carefully, and try to find ways for humans to resist the erosion of strange energy from them.

crunch.

crunch.

The metal hatch was twisted and deformed by the strange man, making a harsh sound, and then it drilled out from the door.

"Shen, Captain Shen! It's still alive!" Shirley exclaimed.

Shen Ge glanced at her, his expression a little tense: "Whether they are weird or strange, is there a real 'death' for them?"

"Ah?" Shirley then realized that for weirdos and weirdos, there is really no such thing as "death" in the true sense.

Because after they die, strange energy will still remain in their bones and flesh, which is why bones and flesh can be used to make strange energy equipment.

The production of strange energy equipment is to suppress the strange "regeneration" through special means. If such special measures are not taken, and only a sharp bone, sharp teeth, and sharp claws are used to make simple weapons, then they will gradually grow blood and flesh, and may take a day, a year or even longer to regenerate a new body.

The weird man has a "secret" that Shen Ge cares about more than weirdness and weirdness. The fact that it can release weird energy that can make people hallucinate is worth studying.

Since the ghost has awakened, Shen Ge simply asked Xiao Qi to use the blood net to cut him into pieces and then put him into the ghost sleeping bag.

For safety reasons, the strange sleeping bag was placed in a strange containment box, and then placed in a strange space to be monitored by Xiao Qi. On the one hand, this was to prevent the strange man from being resurrected too quickly, and on the other hand, there was no room for research here, so they could only bring it back to "reality" and make plans.

After dealing with the weirdo, Shen Ge stretched out his rotten blood tentacles to pry open the hatch, but he didn't expect that the two sides of the passage behind were still covered with thick fungal blankets and flesh, covered with rotten tentacles. The most terrifying thing was that there were a large number of humanoid weirdos in the corridor.

Combined with the previous scene where the weirdo was "stuck" on the hatch, it gives people a feeling that it is using its body to block the hatch and prevent these monsters from rushing out.

"Captain Shen, be careful!" Camille and Shirley shouted.

Because the moment Shen Ge opened the hatch, all the "sleeping" humanoid creatures in the passage opened their eyes and rushed towards Shen Ge who was at the front.

"The Immovable Territory!"

Bullet time!

Those humanoid monsters in the air froze under the influence of Shen Ge's motionless strange domain. At that moment, gunshots and knife lights appeared simultaneously with the light and shadow of red, blood-corrupted tentacles, instantly killing all the humanoid monsters in the entire corridor!

"It's so, so scary." Shirley swallowed, not sure whether the "scary" she meant was the humanoid monster in the corridor or Shen Ge's method.

Just when Shen Ge thought that all the humanoid monsters in the corridor had been dealt with, Xiao Qi suddenly used his blood-corrupted tentacles to form a blood net in front of him: "Master, they are not dead yet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange humanoid flesh and blood creatures slaughtered by Shen Ge seemed to "come alive", wriggling like slime, and soon gathered into a huge flesh and blood monster.

"Hehe, I want to see whether you can revive faster or I can kill faster!" After Shen Ge finished speaking, an invisible strange domain spread out and "collapsed" like an invisible giant hand grasping the flesh and blood monster.

puff-

With a strange sound of flesh and blood bursting, a ball of blood exploded on the body of the flesh and blood monster.

Shen Ge thought that he could crush the monster with this pinch, but unexpectedly, a flesh-and-blood head like a carnivorous plant grew out from the place where the blood flowered.

"..." Shen Ge felt terrible. It was really torture to encounter this kind of thing that could not be killed and could keep mutating.

boom!
Bang bang bang!
After a burst of shots from the Devil-killing Revolver, the blood net of the Devil-killing Revolver and the Corrupted Blood Tentacles, combined with Shen Ge's "Collapse", the flesh and blood monster was like being thrown into a meat grinder, and instantly turned into a pool of meat foam and blood.

"vomit."

"vomit."

Shen Ge didn't react. Camille and Shirley behind him froze and turned around and vomited violently. Fortunately, they didn't eat anything, otherwise they would have vomited bile.

However, Shen Ge noticed that the blood on the ground was still gathering, which meant that as long as they were given time, they would definitely gather into a flesh and blood monster again.

"Let's go!" Shen Ge decisively used invisible barriers to pave a path for the two women to follow him through the corridor. There was no need to waste time on this flesh and blood monster that was constantly resurrecting. Camille and Shirley could only resist the urge to look at the flesh and blood around them, and followed Shen Ge through the corridor.

There was another corridor after another. After running for nearly twenty minutes and passing through several hatches, Shen Ge found an entrance downwards.

"Wait!" Camille suddenly grabbed Shirley's wrist, and the light from the spooky flashlight swept across the dark red mucus on the ground.

"The mucus has drag marks, which seem to be... human boot prints." Camille said in surprise.

Shen Ge squatted down, and the corrupt blood tentacles wiped over the solidified mucus. In the vision of the strange eyes, three intersecting shoe patterns were glowing with a faint black light. This was not the strange power released by the strange, but the residual strange power of the strange power equipment after special treatment.

"... Strange energy equipment? This energy doesn't seem to have been there for a long time, it seems to be recent." Shen Ge's butcher knife suddenly stabbed into the ground, and the touch from the tip of the knife was no longer the wriggling flesh and blood, but the vibration of the metal partition. The red mist armor instantly covered his arms, and then grabbed the edge of the partition and lifted it up violently.

"Ah!" Shirley's scream got stuck in her throat.

Under the opened metal plate, densely packed transparent culture tanks were arranged like a honeycomb, and humanoid creatures floated in each two-meter-high cylindrical container. Their spines grew centipede-like bone spurs, and their chests were split into four petals, revealing the beating black hearts inside.

Camille frowned, and her rapid breathing showed how surprised she was at this moment: "These are...they actually used such a rough method to try to sew humans and weirdness together?"

Shen Ge's pupils shrank slightly. In front of a broken culture tank, a half-skeletal figure wearing a white coat was nailed to the wall by black mycelium, and a blood-red flower bloomed in the eye socket of the skull.

"Let's go down and take a look." Shen Ge's invisible barrier suddenly expanded, wrapping the three people into a transparent "cocoon" to prevent any emergencies.

Almost at the same time, the three nearest culture tanks exploded, and three tentacles covered with suction cups lashed at the invisible barrier, splashing ripples.

Shirley raised the submachine gun with trembling hands, but found that the tentacles suddenly froze in mid-air. Following Shen Ge's gaze, she saw dark green liquid oozing out of the ventilation ducts on the ceiling, dripping on the tentacles and making a "sizzling" corrosion sound.

puff--

puff!
Before Shirley and Camille could pull the trigger, with the flash of red light, these humanoid monsters that were not even at the fourth level were caught by Xiaoqi's blood net.

"Walk."

Classmate Xiao Qi scanned and found that the signal of life form was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be right below this laboratory. Shen Ge no longer cared about Brother Duan and prepared to use "collapse" directly.

"Here... there is a code disk. I've seen this before. It's the device for opening the mechanism door!" Shirley noticed the operating table on the side and shouted to the two of them in surprise.

Camille walked over and saw that the two men were pondering the cipher disk. Suddenly, the cipher disk started to rotate automatically, and the sound of the twelve gears meshing was particularly clear in the silence.

Then, the wall on the right covered with rotten flesh slowly opened, revealing the hatch behind it.

The moment the hatch opened, twenty black gun muzzles were pointed at Shen Ge and the other two. But after seeing the dawn badge on Shirley's chest, the leader took off his gas mask and turned out to be a gray-haired old man.

"Are you... from the Dawn Base?" the old man asked.

Shirley immediately said, "I am a member of the Second Division of the Dawn Alliance's Confidence Corps. We are here to... to find survivors. We have no ill intentions."

The old man nodded and said, "We know, because we've been there before... Wait, you, you, sir, are you Mr. Shen Ge?"

Shen Ge looked at the old man and didn't seem to know him in his memory. He asked doubtfully: "Do you know me?"

The old man stepped forward excitedly and said, "Mr. Shen Ge, I am the housekeeper of the Cheng family. My wife is in the underground laboratory here!"

lady?

housekeeper?

Shen Ge was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that Cheng Shengnan had mentioned that Cheng's mother was followed by a loyal housekeeper named "Cheng Yong".

It is said that he was the adopted son of Cheng's mother. Later, for some reasons, he stayed with Cheng's mother and became the steward of the Cheng family.

After Cheng's mother adopted Cheng Shengnan, this "Uncle Cheng" has been taking good care of Cheng Shengnan's life, arranging a caring maid for her, taking care of her daily affairs, etc.

Although he is called a "housekeeper", he is actually one of the few "family members" of Cheng Shengnan besides Cheng's mother.

Recalling the details that Cheng Shengnan had described before, Shen Ge quickly matched the white-haired old man in front of him with the name "Cheng Yong".

"Are you...Uncle Cheng?" Shen Ge asked.

Uncle Cheng nodded excitedly: "Mr. Shen Ge, are you here to see your wife?"

"Correct."

"Come, come, I'll take you to see the madam." Uncle Cheng turned around excitedly and led the way.

"Uncle Cheng, wait a minute!" At this time, Cheng Yong's entourage stopped him and whispered, "Uncle Cheng, could this be another illusion created by those monsters before?"

"I think it's possible."

"You forgot about those people who were 'cheated' away before. They all called out the names of acquaintances. I'm afraid it's really possible!"

As they were still talking cautiously, Shen Ge's rotten blood tentacles "slap, slap, slap" and everyone admired them. Then they said, "This can't be an illusion, right?"

"This……"

Uncle Cheng tried to ask a few more questions, and after getting satisfactory answers, he took Shen Ge and the other two towards the secret passage.

The space behind the metal hatch was filled with a pungent, sour smell. Twenty strange lanterns hung on the rusted pipes, illuminating the underground space dimly.

Shen Ge noticed that the walls were covered with bullet holes, and in the corners were piles of armor made from strange shells. This shelter transformed from the core area of ​​the laboratory was a miracle of human wisdom.

The twelve load-bearing columns were transformed into a honeycomb-shaped water storage system. The surface of the columns was covered with a moss-like filtering bacterial blanket. The turbid liquid flowed into the central water purification pool after three layers of infiltration.

The generator in the southwest corner hummed, fuel pipelines connected to five giant tumors, those constantly shrinking and expanding organs converting black blood into electricity;
The most shocking thing is the dome structure. The original alloy ceiling was replaced with a translucent strange peritoneum, with countless glowing blood vessels pulsating in it, forming a defense network covering the entire space.

It can be said that they have utilized all the strange resources they can use. Even though it is very "dangerous", it is a miracle to be able to recycle resources in such a harsh environment.

From this, Shen Ge could infer that according to the strange and ever-changing "timeline" in the strange space, they were probably trapped here for at least a few months. (End of this chapter)
