Chapter 18: Hell's Forest
The antidote seems to have fallen into that T-type biological breeding park... "Seeing the scene, Dr. Luo swallowed his saliva with a lingering fear.
Then you come in with me! "Wang Zongchao was about to pull him up, but he didn't expect this guy to make a miserable cry like killing a chicken, struggling desperately and shouting," Why don't you just kill me! I won't go in even if I die
What exactly is inside
That's a biological weapon researched by the company using the T-virus. "Seeing that Wang Zongchao didn't force him to enter anymore, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to introduce it:
We have used many natural species to apply T-viruses for research, and a large number of organisms have completely destroyed their nervous and immune systems due to virus infection. Although those animals can still walk and eat, they lose self-awareness and their bodies decay day by day like corpses. Generally, if they cannot swallow enough food to maintain the crazy demand for nutrients by T-viruses, their bodies will completely decay and become real corpses after one or two years.
But very few animals and plants resist the erosion of the T virus, preserving their normal self-awareness and immune system, and their bodies will no longer decay, which we call T-transformed organisms. They have undergone various mutations due to the T virus, some have become incredibly large, some have exhibited prehistoric characteristics due to the phenomenon of returning to their ancestors, and some have fused features of other species due to cross infection with the T virus
Are these the creatures that are raised there, including humans? "Wang Zongchao asked coldly.
Dr. Luo smiled awkwardly and muttered a few words such as "We all obtained corpses through legitimate channels" and "Sacrifice is always necessary for science." After seeing Wang Zongchao's increasingly unpleasant expression, he had to turn back to the topic.
Those creatures have amazing vitality and remarkable combat power. The company hopes to study these creatures to manufacture biological weapons, but currently only the reptiles modified from giant lizards can form a breeding species and be barely controlled. In order to enhance their power, we have specially increased the infectivity of the virus on their bodies. Two days ago, we sent a batch of climbers up, and the company will soon transport them and install control computers
No wonder the entire hive couldn't see any equipment cultivating such a large number of climbers. It turned out that their source was here. Wang Zongchao nodded secretly and then asked, "What about those inside
Everything inside is beyond our control... "Dr. Luo smiled bitterly.
Previously, the Flame Queen was suddenly forcibly stopped, the power was also cut off, and our defense system lost its effectiveness. That big guy took the opportunity to rush in... And the most valuable thing here is the T-virus anti serum. Someone tried to escape with it, but unfortunately failed.
That big guy has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and any normal organism without the T-virus on its body cannot escape its pursuit. I also managed to escape by hiding under the scent of the potion
Are you saying that if I want to obtain the antidote, I have to go in by myself? "Wang Zongchao remained expressionless.
Yes, good luck to you... Anyway, I can't survive if you die, "Dr. Luo said with a face of resignation and indifference.
With little time left, Wang Zongchao obtained the necessary information and determined the location of what he was looking for. Without hesitation, he leaped into the perilous forest through the cave.
He used to go deep into primitive forests and African grasslands to observe various fierce beasts and even engage in hand to hand combat with lions, tigers, bears, snakes and other beasts in order to exercise his martial arts skills. He was not unfamiliar with the jungle, but there was no jungle that gave him such a strong sense of oppression. Even the modern battlefield filled with gunfire and bullets is far inferior.
The thick, decaying fallen leaves in the forest emit an unpleasant musty smell, the humid air is sticky like unbreakable butter, and the fallen leaves are covered in dew, making them particularly slippery to step on. This high-tech man-made forest surprisingly makes those who are in it feel no difference from the natural forest.
Wang Zongchao calmed down and collected his breath, making his breathing light and slow, his pores contracting, and his qi restrained, instantly reducing his sense of existence to a minimum. And let your killing intent be restrained, just like putting a sharp sword in its scabbard. Without truly engaging in combat, you will never feel any danger or oppression.
In this perilous place where there are countless dangerous monsters, even superheroes wearing underwear in reverse will be stripped of a layer of skin first, which is the best choice.
Quickly moving and silently like a feline, Wang Zongchao carefully searched for the location of the black metal box.
He walked nearly thirty meters without incident, but suddenly stopped walking deep into the forest.
At the bend of more than thirty meters ahead, three slowly wriggling gray crawlers, each the size of a motorcycle, appeared. The grass and rocks they passed by left shining marks reflecting sunlight.
Another creature he had never seen before, Wang Zong instinctively fell to the ground.
Lying down quickly but silently, Wang Zongchao was fully focused on observing the three worms, using standard crawling movements to slowly climb behind a large stone, and then carefully observed in the dense forest.
The three monsters stretched and contracted their bodies one by one, with gray shells layered on top of each other, slowly crawling forward like earthworms and maggots, and occasionally shaking their bodies to make strange "gurgling" sounds, as if they were talking about something.
Worm type, with average movement speed, should not have strong attack power - Wang Zongchao made the initial analysis.
Of course, he wasn't so arrogant as to immediately go out and try to hunt them, using actual actions to verify his judgment. Before determining the opponent's ability, any reckless action is likely to turn oneself into a delicious meal in the eyes of others.
Let's wait until they leave before moving forward!
Wang Zongchao relaxed a bit and prepared to rest in place.
His caution was soon proven to be a wise choice.
Three giant worms chirped and exchanged "opinions", and unexpectedly stopped in the middle of the intersection, slowly circling around. The viscous bodily fluids flowing out behind them merged together to form a colorful ellipse.
Wang Zongchao's gaze froze and he looked even more carefully.
Three monsters head towards the center of the ellipse, the finished shape stops, and the largest worm desperately contracts its body, as if trying to squeeze itself into a photo. Suddenly, it bounced open like a spring to the loud accompaniment of its two companions, splashing juice
Wang Zongchao glanced at it and felt a bone chilling sensation spreading from his spine to his head, causing his entire body to shiver with chills.
The two gray shells on the head of the worm opened outward, revealing a terrifying pink mouthpiece like a man eating flower, the size of a water tank. Its three petals of red and seductive lip flesh suddenly bloomed, spewing out a corpse with juice - a completely intact corpse from head to waist, but with nothing in its lower body.
The long hair and protruding upper body covered in mucus prove that this is a woman. Wang Zongchao judged from her severely corroded research suit that she was the researcher who had just escaped into the forest.
Terror knows no bounds, and something even more unimaginable happened to Wang Zongchao. The other two monsters were excitedly chirping, shaking their bodies and exposing their mouthparts. They poked out a long, naturally curved purple black straw from the middle of the three petals of red meat.
That's right, it's a straw.
Wang Zongchao watched helplessly as they inserted straws into the top and abdomen of the corpse, shaking slightly. Then the half of the corpse trembled violently as if it was about to come back to life, and then quickly shrank.
From a distance, the skin on the female corpse seemed to have aged for decades in the blink of an eye, with numerous grooves and wrinkles stacked together. The remaining volume was less than one-third of what it was a few seconds ago.
Quickly, the three worms finished their meal in their unique way, made satisfying gurgling sounds, and slowly crawled into the depths of the forest.
At that moment, Wang Zongchao suddenly felt that compared to the creatures in this strange forest, the crawlers were too gentle.
However, he had no way out, and Wang Zongchao suppressed the chill and discomfort in his heart, searching forward with even greater caution.
Suddenly, Wang Zongchao's heart trembled and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Right in front of him, beside a bloody and contorted body, a black metal box reflecting a cold and hard metallic luster lay quietly.
The target was right in front of him, and Wang Zongchao was overjoyed. He immediately stepped forward and ran towards the metal box.
However, just as his fingers touched the metal box, a bone chilling chill suddenly enveloped his entire body, and his heart almost skipped a beat. In contrast, the sentence from the main deity, 'Get T virus anti serum, reward...', almost made him ignore it.
The monster, the colossal creature resembling Bimon that was shown on surveillance footage as having slaughtered all the researchers, suddenly emerged from the dense forest and looked at him with fierce eyes.
With the crackling sound of the trees being trampled, Bimeng's entire body was finally exposed in front of Wang Zongchao. Upon closer observation, its terrifying aura was even more shocking. It was only seen that there was no hair on its whole body, but a layer of metallic keratin skin covering it. The muscles that protruded from its thick limbs were as explosive as rocks. The most terrifying thing is his two claws. If fully unfolded, they would be at least fifty centimeters long, emitting a dazzling cold light like the scythe of death, making people shudder at the sight.
This is a trap. It seems that after eating so many people, Bimeng is still not satisfied, so it uses the corpse as bait to attract other prey. Unexpectedly, Wang Zongchao was attracted by the metal box next to the corpse by chance, and his mood fluctuated when he found that the metal box was overly happy. He was actually hidden from Bimeng.
When it saw its prey, the giant beast let out a earth shattering roar and grabbed the thick and thin tree next to it with one claw. The tree was suddenly broken by it, and it ran towards Wang Zongchao with its thick and short legs, saliva dripping from its mouth full of fangs.
Run away!
After grabbing the metal box, Wang Zongchao immediately made the most helpless and correct choice.
