Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 488 [488] (First Update) The cooing of white doves enters the work area

"Damn it, what is this? What is this?"

"Ugh!" The man vomited a mouthful of blood, his face filled with fear. His gaze was fixed on the elevator entrance in front of him, as he tried to enter it and return to the base.

But after vomiting blood repeatedly, he had lost most of his strength and collapsed to the ground, only able to crawl by wriggling his hands.

The frigid temperature caused his blood to congeal quickly, and his hands and body stuck to the icy ground. Each crawl and wriggle only further tore at his skin, drawing out more blood. The extreme pain was agonizing and the sight was gruesome. His will to live kept him going, and finally, covered in blood, he placed his hands on the edge of the elevator shaft entrance. Just as he was about to pull himself in, a look of despair appeared on his face.

Chi Chi!

The cold wind started blowing again at some unknown time, sweeping down from the northwest, from the higher snow-capped mountains that gradually touched the sky, at an extremely fast speed, and stirring up the clouds.

The entire surface base was subjected to the blast, and the temperature dropped by seven or eight degrees in an instant.

"No, don't come out! There's a monster inside my body!!"

The new reincarnator screamed in terror and finally exploded in the snowstorm. The blood mist dissipated, the bones shattered and gradually seeped into the snow, disappearing without a trace, leaving only the clothes and the posture of the sleeves being stretched out and held up to the elevator entrance.

Elsewhere on the surface base, the corresponding human clothing almost all exhibited a tendency to move towards the elevator shaft opening.

The elevator descended slowly, and compared to the main elevator, this elevator to the work area was much cruder. It had no external wall enclosure, only a mechanically welded floor, a manual control panel for checking for leaks, and a digital display screen to determine the depth of the area reached.

The shaking sensation was unpleasant. Wang Dazhuang, with a sour face, was struggling to hold it in. He felt like vomiting, but he managed to hold it in. He only had one gas mask, and if he vomited, it would be a real problem; he would have to suffer alone, which would be the worst possible outcome.

"Boss, I don't know how to address you, I don't even know your name."

"A messenger of justice."

Wang Dazhuang's lips twitched. This was obviously a fake name. A messenger of justice, holding justice in his hands? Was he really righteous? With that swift and decisive way of killing, why didn't he just say he was Lucian the Holy Gun? Wang Dazhuang thought to himself, but he forced himself to stay upright and looked around. The iron plate was shaking, making him very uncomfortable. He could only try to distract himself in other ways.

He eventually realized it was a foolish move, and feeling even worse, he instinctively grabbed the metal railings surrounding him.

But an unexpected discovery was made.

As the elevator descended, uniforms of many base employees were hanging on the walls at various heights of the elevator shaft.

It's like everyone jumping out of an elevator at the same time; if they don't die from the fall, they'll be strangled by the thick steel wire and eventually have their bones broken—it's horribly tragic.

Wang Ya is trying to figure out what substance is causing the damage to his body.

It possesses one-third of the original body's intelligence, and its research skills, especially in the area of ​​flesh and blood creatures, have reached the current maximum level.

As long as the appropriate facilities are available to resolve the internal bodily issues, there shouldn't be any problems.

Conversely, wearing a gas mask from the moment one enters the base, or even while in the vehicle, might prevent this particular impact.

Whether it's a virus, bacteria, or anything else, everyone who has entered the base has probably already been affected, and gas masks are no longer necessary.

The degree of impact is determined by the concentration of the 'unknown substance' in the air ingested.

Gas masks still play an important role.

The identified work area should be the initial discovery site, where the unknown substance likely escaped and leaked.

In different work areas, according to their importance and the research equations, certain outpost research stations were set up, which contained the basic research facilities needed by each station.

What kind of trickery exists is for him to discover and unravel himself. If he encounters an irreversible danger that leads to the death of this physical body, then don't blame him for being unethical and using a cheat code to directly distort reality.

Ding Dong!

The on-screen indicator light provides a prompt.

We've arrived at work area 33.

Each of the five work zones is a single underground space, with different defense lines extending for exploration.

Work area 33 is already very deep underground, and may be one of the deepest layers that can be stably explored with the support of the base's scientific research.

The air is starting to thin here, but thanks to the base's ventilation system, it's still manageable to breathe smoothly.

Step out of the elevator, and the corridor leads directly to the station.

The site has a spacious interior, basically meeting the daily needs of an exploration team.

There are also corresponding supporting laboratories, culture rooms, and warehouses.

"Please verify your ID card and undergo an iris scan."

A heavy mechanical door blocked their path.

Wang Dazhuang took out an ID card from his pocket, his face extremely grim. Back at the base, iris testing wasn't required, but he never expected that the work area, the site responsible for cutting-edge excavation and exploration, would require it.

Could there be some huge secret hidden inside that requires the strictest security measures? Wang Dazhuang was a little annoyed. He inserted the ID card into the card slot. Facing the red light beam of the iris test, he did not step forward. The card he picked up could not be matched.

"Boss, I didn't expect this. The door can't be opened, and we can't get in."

The warehouse inside the site is equipped with devices for exploring the outside world. No one knows what substances exist in the strata or what kind of dangerous environment they are in. Various equipment are standard equipment to ensure the safety of personnel working outside.

The corridor itself, which encloses the elevator, also has a series of functions such as temperature control, ventilation, energy transmission, data transmission, and overhead access.

Wang Ya didn't speak, but silently raised the white dove.

boom!

An explosive bomb, releasing kinetic and thermal energy, tore everything on the door apart and destroyed itself.

"Alarm, alarm! The sentry post is under attack. The rear security door is 23% damaged."

Wang Dazhuang looked terrified and subconsciously took a few steps back. The flying metal fragments from the wall turned into sharp blades, which, amplified by the impact, pierced into the floor in front of him.

This guy is really ruthless; he'll start a fight at the drop of a hat.

Then his expression turned strange again, because the alarm was blaring throughout the corridor, reminding them to get away as soon as possible.

It seems that the people who built the base did not consider that the danger did not originate from some hidden dangers in the excavated space of the earth veins, but from within.

The elevators are not one-way; there are multiple elevators connected to each other, similar to the main elevators connecting the upper and lower bases.

boom!

Wang Ya fired again, and Wang Dazhuang retreated once more. Given the commotion, it was likely that some of the reincarnators had already noticed and were probably heading towards the work area.

The only good news is that the digital area of ​​their work zone is not directly exposed to the outside.

The metal-paneled carriages that go up and down in the elevator have already ascended.
