She thought of the sentence in the book of teacher Yan Guo that she stole in middle school. Although she didn't understand what it meant, it seemed quite appropriate. It was something like "How vast is the wild grass? How can we know death when we are confused about life? A handful of pure soil covers the romantic life, and what's the point of turning into a foreign object?"
Aina couldn't remember clearly, but she just sighed briefly. When she thought about the reality before her, she understood why the "Immortal" experiment was rampant despite repeated bans.
This kind of thing may never stop.
Suddenly, she heard Miss Olivia's voice again.
This time it was not a vague tone. She heard it quite clearly. It was indeed Miss Olivia calling her, and she called her more than once.
Really, someone really came to save her? Miss Olicia came to save her?
The hope of life was rekindled and all the wild thoughts were thrown behind me in an instant.
In fact, it’s not that Ina hasn’t fantasized about someone coming to save her. She thought about it too much. But because she knew that she was expecting someone to save her all the time, she didn’t dare to think about it, and even deliberately hinted to herself that the outcome would definitely be the darkest.
Because, watching despair grind hope into dust is the cruelest thing in the world.
In her fantasy, she would run out excitedly because of being rescued and would not wait for a moment, but the reality was that she was still sitting on the ground, just covering her cheeks with her hands, tears pouring out uncontrollably.
Olicia's voice came again, this time closer, seeming to be only a few dozen meters away.
Ina staggered to her feet, shouting "I'm here" and rushed out of the laboratory.
She saw that she was greeted by a humanoid creature with lifeless blue eyes.
why?
There was a moment of confusion in her mind.
Has this monster been guarding the door from beginning to end?
The infected body swung its arms, and the hard Originium spikes pierced towards her head.
At the same moment, there was a sound of wind passing by. With a blank mind, Aina saw a sword flying from above, piercing through the infected body's shoulder, and hitting the wall with a bang.
The white wolf threw its weapon to interrupt the infected body's attack, and rushed towards Aina at the same time.
The pierced shoulder was not a fatal injury to the infected body. It swung its blade-like arm again and cut towards Aina without mercy.
This time was enough for Bai Lang to reach Aina, but she no longer had the sword in her hand. At the critical moment, she grabbed Aina's clothes with her right hand and pulled them back, and used the Originium skill in her left glove to punch the infected body's arm.
Bai Lang knew very well that her own strength was not at the same level as her enemy's. If she wanted to defeat the enemy by hand-to-hand combat, she would most likely end up hurting the enemy by a thousand while hurting herself by eight hundred. So she used ice-attributed Originium techniques to attack. The infected creature's body had not yet been completely crystallized, and was temporarily frozen by this punch.
For this infected body with excellent spell resistance, the effect of any Originium technique is limited, so at the moment of freezing the enemy, White Wolf endured the severe pain in his left arm, turned over, picked up the sword that fell to the ground, and decisively chopped off the enemy's head.
Only then did she have time to lower her head and put her bloody left arm across her face. In the previous punch, half of her arm had been pierced with holes by the dense Originium thorns on the opponent's body.
Volume 4: Chapter 120 Professor
Compared with previous injuries, Bai Lang felt that this injury to his left arm was not a big problem at all, except that it felt quite painful, probably because his mind was too clear.
The same thing looked different to Ina. She felt regretful and hateful now. It was because of her that Miss Olisia was seriously injured and might even be infected.
No, it's not possible. Given the current situation, it can be said that you will definitely be infected.
With tears in her eyes, she tried hard to find reagents in the laboratory that might alleviate the infection of mineral disease, but it was in vain.
White Wolf sat on the ground against the wall, took out the spare bandages and gauze from the Guard Academy from his pocket, and asked in confusion while tending to the wound: "Aina, what are you looking for? Rest for a while, and we should leave after I bandage it."
"You want all the medicine to prevent infection. You're going to be infected." Ina said in despair, wiping her tears.
Bai Lang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that keeping secrets too well was also a problem. She lowered her head, coughed, and said awkwardly: "Actually, I was originally infected, and these injuries are not much different from ordinary injuries to me."
In fact, being injured by Originium crystals is an extremely bad thing for both ordinary people and infected people. It is impossible for it to be "not much different". The purpose of Bailang saying this is that he does not want the other party to blame himself too much, but Aina is an Originium researcher and of course she is very clear about the relevant knowledge.
Bai Lang realized this belatedly and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. Ina also kept her head down and didn't say anything.
There was a brief silence between the two.
After a while, Aina walked silently to the side of the White Wolf, knelt on the ground, reached out to take the bandage in the White Wolf's hand, and whispered: "Miss Olicia, can I help you? Your left arm is injured and it's inconvenient."
Bailang looked at Aina in surprise. What she said was right. She had originally planned to bandage the wound with her right hand and teeth. Of course, it would be better to have someone to help.
She handed it over and held out her left arm.
Aina was obviously experienced, her technique was quite standard, and her movements were very small. Bailang felt relieved after watching for a while, and asked in a relaxed manner: "Have you learned this before?"
"Well, I used to go on field trips with my mentor and learned these skills." Ai tightened the bandage in his hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"
It must hurt, White Wolf thought. She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm used to it. Just come and relax."
Aina kept moving and muttered to herself, "Why did Miss Olicia come here? When I thought about how far I had come, I felt that there was no hope for me. I didn't expect to see you so soon."
Bai Lang was about to answer, but suddenly he felt that this was a troublesome question and he had to treat it seriously. He couldn't just tell the truth and say that he used the positioning device of the Guard Academy to observe the position of the other party and Bo Lu.
If I do that, I will definitely be regarded as a pervert with impure motives. Miss Ina is a simple and shy girl. It will be troublesome if she dares not approach me after hearing it.
Having said that, it seemed that she did have impure motives. After all, she had been planning to use Aina and Bo Lu to contact Miss Tianhuo.
But how should I answer?
There is no way to answer this!
If she were Aina, she would definitely find it strange that the people from the Guard Academy could cross the vast periphery of the disaster area and directly reach the central area for rescue in such a short time. This efficiency is simply too terrifying.
Since he couldn't think of a reason anyway, Bai Lang found a shameless way - putting the blame on Miss Qin Liu.
She looked at Aina with a confused look on her face, pretending to be dumb and said, "I don't know either. Qin Liu said you two were missing and pointed them out to me on the map, so I followed her and ran over to find you."
When Aina asked the question, she had no intention of questioning the reason, and was mostly expressing her personal feelings. But when Bai Lang said that, she thought of other things.
No wonder, Aina thought secretly. After the previous meeting, Miss Qin Liu had already set her sights on her. She didn't expect that she would be saved because of this hostile relationship. It was really...
Thinking about it this way, I owe Qin Liu a favor.
No, it was Miss Olicia who saved her. What does that have to do with that Vaifan?
Miss Olicia was seriously injured because of this. She really had no way to repay the other party's kindness.
Ina, who was lost in thought, suddenly found herself holding Miss Olicia's arm, her hands stained with bright red blood, which was Olicia's blood, blood with temperature. She suddenly felt an indescribable strange emotion, and the next moment, she shuddered with fear because of her strange thoughts.
Bai Lang was puzzled when she saw that Miss Aina's hand suddenly became unstable, but the bandage was basically completed, so she retracted her arm, shook it gently and said:
"The bandage is very nice, thank you, we should set off now."
"Departure? Where to?" Ina asked stupidly. As soon as she opened her mouth, she came back to her senses and realized that she was asking a strange question. 'Departure' must mean going back.
But Miss Olicia turned around and said solemnly: "Go find the man behind the experimental base. I want to see what tricks he is playing."
"Ms. Olicia, do you think there are still living people in the experimental base?" Ina asked in surprise.
White Wolf nodded: "Most likely, she/he has been causing trouble for me. If we don't solve the problem thoroughly, it will be a problem whether we can even get out."
Hearing this, Aina lowered her head and said thoughtfully: "If that's the case, that person is most likely Professor Farm."
"Professor Farm?"
"Well, it should be him." Ina ran to the laboratory and took out a notebook with a gray cover.
"This is a researcher's diary I found on the upper floor. The owner of the notes is a researcher here. When I was in school, I read Professor Farm's research paper. Based on what was mentioned in the notes, I can infer that the person in charge of the research base is Professor Farm who disappeared from the National University three years ago."
White Wolf hesitated. She had originally planned to chop her way through, but if the enemy behind the scenes was really a professor at the National University, according to Victoria's special rules for academic practitioners, she, as a member of the Guards Academy, must protect the other party until she handed him over to the Royal Court for trial and conviction.
How could someone who could build such a large research institute deep in the mountains not have the support of powerful people behind him?
Bai Lang has always hated this kind of human experiment. What's more, the other party has tried to kill her several times. If it weren't for her own strength, she would have been killed by those infected bodies long ago.
She didn't want to be soft-hearted with this kind of person.
So she deliberately asked again: "Are you sure it's a professor from a national university? Is it possible that I remembered it wrong?"
PS: I didn't update on Wednesday or Thursday because of something else (I can't remember), so I moved it to today
Volume 4: Chapter 121 Professor II
Aina did not understand what Bai Lang meant. She thought Bai Lang was unsure of the truth of her guess, so she hurriedly explained:
"Everything I said is true. Although I mainly do research on Originium dynamics, I also dabble in Originium biology. Professor Farm's book is an advanced project on Originium biology. I am very sure that the style of this laboratory is Professor Farm's."
Innocent young researcher, you are mistaken. The one in front of you is actually an evil witch. White Wolf muttered to himself in a smug manner while continuing:
"You just said that you mainly study Originium dynamics? Is that the Originium energy aspect?"
"Yes." Aina nodded and began to explain, "My advisor and I both focus on Origin Energy. However, Origin Energy research is a relatively comprehensive subject that requires a certain understanding of Originium biology, geology, and environmental science. I'm not very smart, so I only learned a little bit."
The last sentence is what you meant, White Wolf thought. She remembered Ina's terrible ranking. But as a person with high emotional intelligence, Rupert kept the good habit of "seeing but not saying", pretending to affirm Miss Ina's professionalism.
The two continued walking along the corridor of the laboratory. Miss Ina actually demonstrated the qualities of a researcher. She knew the functions of various laboratories clearly. Whenever Bai Lang was confused about the label of a laboratory, she would explain in detail its function including the instruments used in it, as if she had actually operated it herself.
This time, Bai Lang discovered something strange. They were almost at the end of the negative second floor, but they did not find any trace of the infected body.
White Wolf stopped and said cautiously: "Aina, do you feel something is wrong? It has been such a long time and there is not a single infected person. It was not like this when I was at the bottom."
"Miss Olicia also went to the bottom floor?"
"Well, I started from the bottom to find you."
Aina thought for a moment, then asked thoughtfully, "How many infected bodies has Miss Olicia eliminated?"
White Wolf stroked his chin and did some mental calculations: "About ten?"
"Ten? Ten?!" Aina opened her mouth and widened her eyes. She couldn't say anything for a long time. The Immortals infected were extraordinary. How could such a thing be possible...
She suddenly remembered the incident when Miss Olicia eliminated the infected body of the Immortal. Putting aside the injuries she suffered while protecting herself, she only used one sword to deal with an enemy of this level.
It was just that she was so frightened at the time that she didn't see how Miss Olicia attacked. Later, she focused all her attention on the other party's injured arm, so that even now, she still had no clear concept of Miss Olicia's strength.
So, when she heard this number, she was greatly shocked.
After a long while, she asked in disbelief, "Oh, Miss Olicia, I remember that the bodies of those infected bodies were almost half-crystallized. It would be difficult to cut them with ordinary swords."
White Wolf was also deeply touched by what Aina said, and said, "Yes, fortunately the material of my weapon is good. In fact, the most important thing is that I used the Originium technique."
Aina couldn't help but add, "But semi-crystallization also means that resistance to Originium techniques, or Origin Energy, is greatly increased."
Bai Lang's eyes lit up. She began to believe that the other party was very knowledgeable about Origin Energy, so she explained, "You are right. Ordinary Originium techniques cannot hurt the infected bodies this time. However, resistance has its limits. As long as we use Originium techniques that are far beyond their tolerance, this resistance will be nothing."
White Wolf suddenly lowered his head in distress again: "There is another problem. Even if I use all my strength, my Originium skills are useless against the crystal thorns on their bodies, so I must avoid these parts when attacking. It would be great if this could be solved."
???
No way to deal with the Originium Crystal Thorns?
Aina no longer understood what Miss Olicia was talking about. Originium was the material used to make spell units. If Miss Olicia could destroy these things with pure source energy, it would mean that after the other party used the staff to cast a spell, the staff would break directly.
It's not that there are people who can do this, but they are so rare that they can only be counted on one's fingers even in the entire history of Terra. Ms. Olicia is still so young, maybe in the future...
Miss Olicia is probably one of the top figures in the Guard Academy, Ina finally came to this conclusion.
She had no idea about the other party's "trouble", so she had to think of a solution that was not a solution: "In fact, the crystal thorn is also easy to deal with. We can change our thinking. Although it has high resistance, we can just use a little strength and chop it into pieces."
"You're right." Bai Lang's expression was sincere, and he nodded perfunctorily in his heart.
When it comes to strength, she doesn't want to continue the topic. In fact, this is her permanent weakness, which is related to her race and personal talent. If she had the strength of Qin Liu or Tallulah, she wouldn't have to worry about this problem.
"I think I know why there are no infected bodies." Aina suddenly opened the gray notebook in her arms, flipped through it for a while, and then pointed to a record on it to White Wolf. "The notebook says that there are only eleven researchers left in the experimental base, plus three handymen, a total of fourteen people. You basically took care of them all."
"That means there may be a few left." Bai Lang narrowed her eyes. She didn't dare to let her guard down. This was the enemy's home ground, and the boat could capsize at any time if she was careless.
They walked to the end of the corridor and saw the elevator with a green light on.
Bai Lang asked Aina to step back and he went to the elevator entrance and pressed the up button. After a while, the elevator arrived at the current floor and the electronic door opened. Bai Lang entered the elevator to check and found that it was the same elevator he had taken to the bottom floor before, but this time, the buttons inside the elevator worked.
Could it be that the guy behind the scenes is planning to make peace since he sees that his tough stance is no longer working?
White Wolf called Aina to go up, and then clicked the button for the basement floor.
The elevator ran normally, stopped at the basement level, and opened its door. Bai Lang looked around vigilantly, and when he saw no sinister ambush, he waved his hand back, motioning Aina to follow.
The two came to the passage on the underground first floor. This floor was cleaner and tidier than the underground second floor, and there was no longer any feeling of an abandoned experimental base.
Aina took out her notes and flipped through them again, saying, "The center of this floor is the main control center of the experimental base. Most of the core experimental areas are built here."
White Wolf hummed and said, "Then Professor Farm must be waiting for us here. Let's go over there."
"Okay." Ina followed the white wolf with a book in her arms, looking around curiously as she moved forward.
Volume 4: Chapter 122 The Seeker
White Wolf was different from Ina. She was not interested in the laboratories on both sides of the white corridor. She just kept alert to her surroundings, stroking the hilt of the sword, guarding against possible emergencies, and moving forward.
She was running so fast that Ina, who kept looking around, had to jog a few steps every once in a while to keep up with her.
