Chapter 021 Poor Li Mo

The hospital department of Tianyun does not occupy a large area, with only dozens of wards, and is adjacent to the research institute next to it.

When I arrived at the ward, I was told that Li Mo was not there but had gone to the laboratory.

Feeling somewhat confused, Luo Xiu had no choice but to go back to the laboratory.

It's not like the hospital where one can enter and exit freely. At the door, he was stopped by two soldiers.

"Please leave, this is an important place."

Looking at the two guards dressed the same as him, Luo Xiu couldn't help but wonder: How did Li Mo get in?

"My comrade, Li Mo, is in there, did you know?" Luo Xiu said.

I thought they would still be expelled, but I saw the two of them looking at each other, with all kinds of helplessness revealed in their eyes.

The two of them each stepped aside, leaving a passage wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Then go in."

Unexpectedly, he was let through so easily. Luo Xiu walked into the door of the laboratory with curiosity.

What appeared before my eyes were all kinds of unknown machines and people in white coats running back and forth. They looked anxious as if something terrible had just happened.

Luo Xiu wanted to stop someone and ask about Li Mo's whereabouts, but no one paid any attention to him.

They were seen rushing into the huge glass house in front.

Following the direction of the crowd, Luo Xiu inadvertently glanced at the glass observation room, where the mother beast that had been captured earlier was lying on a laboratory table of the same length.

Above it, various instruments are hung on the ceiling, and from time to time, researchers operate them to conduct experiments on its huge body.

But most people didn't care about the results of the experiment at all, but ran to a corner and watched something.

Luo Xiu was also very curious, but he knew that this was an important place in the warship, and it was best not to abuse his curiosity unless it was necessary.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard behind me, and the familiar sound of footsteps was heard.

Luo Xiu looked back and found that the person coming was Lieutenant Yulan, the top combat force in the battleship, a knight.

When he saw her, Luo Xiu thought of Xiuying who was still in solitary confinement. During the three years he was a reserve soldier, Xiuying was the only one he was on good terms with, and they had an indescribable feeling for each other.

Because both of them had lost their parents long ago, during the three years of caring for each other, their relationship was more like that of family members.

Watching his relatives suffer, Luo Xiu immediately went up to them and wanted to get to the bottom of things. Even if they were put in solitary confinement, there must be a reason.

Being punished without any reason, isn't this too much of a bully?

"You actually showed up here. This is a research lab. Non-researchers are not allowed to come in. Do you want to be put in solitary confinement?"

Suddenly their way was blocked, Lieutenant Yulan looked at Luo Xiu in front of her and couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly she thought of something and tapped her forehead with her right hand:

"Oh, I almost forgot. You are the one who was injected with the latest drug developed by the Red Umbrella Company and did not die. You do have a reason to be here."

"Live well and strive to make great contributions to us."

Lieutenant Yulan patted Luo Xiu on the shoulder and was about to leave, but Luo Xiu took another step forward and stopped her.

"Wait, what did you do to Xiuying? What did she do wrong that you would treat her like this?"

Luo Xiu's eyes were full of anxiety, but when he met Lieutenant Yulan's cold eyes, he calmed down the next moment, as if affected by some force.

Lieutenant Yulan stopped, looked directly into Luo Xiu's eyes, and chuckled , " It seems that you care about her a lot, but this matter has nothing to do with you. You'd better not get involved, otherwise it will only implicate you."

"But ... "

Luo Xiu wanted to say more, but Lieutenant Yulan interrupted him, "She will be released in two days, and this matter will just pass. If you still want to get involved, it will not do any good to either her or you."

"But I have the right to know the reason." Luo Xiu wanted to continue trying.

Lieutenant Yulan looked at Luo Xiu with amusement, "If you really want to know, then keep working hard. When your rank reaches that level, you will naturally know."

After saying that, Lieutenant Yulan bypassed Luo Xiu and continued forward.

Luo Xiu was left standing there alone.

He bit his lip, frowned and muttered:

"It seems that I need to continue to complete more tasks, or create more killings."

At this moment, Lieutenant Yulan suddenly stopped and turned around, "Killing is impossible, but I can fulfill your wish."

This gave Luo Xiu a sudden shock.

I thought to myself: My mumbling was already quiet enough, yet you could still hear it.

Lieutenant Yulan clicked a few times on the personal terminal on her wrist, and the task was immediately displayed on Luo Xiu's personal terminal.

[Assist in rescuing comrades in distress, and complete the task to be rewarded with 30 merit points]

On one side is the mission, and on the other side is Li Mo.

Luo Xiu pondered for less than a second and immediately accepted the task.

The main reason is that you can gain more merit points by following Lieutenant Yulan.

"follow me."

Seeing Luo Xiu accept the task, she turned and walked towards the observation room.

When she came behind the crowd, all the researchers turned around and greeted her.

Taking advantage of the gap between them, Luo Zheng happened to see a figure standing next to the mother beast.

"Hello, Lieutenant ... Hey, Luo Xiu, are you here to save me?"

It was Li Mo. He was waving his left hand while his right hand was inserted into the body of the wild beast mother.

Lieutenant Yulan came to his side and asked around , " What happened to him? Why did he ask for help?"

The person in charge of the laboratory is a 30-year-old middle-aged man named Yun Tong. He wears a white coat, a pair of glasses, and has a shiny slicked-back hair.

With his hands in his pockets, he explained the whole story to Lieutenant Yulan.

"There was a bloody hole on the mother body earlier, and something could be vaguely seen moving inside."

"But we didn't dare to reach out and grab it, so I called a volunteer, and when he put his arm in, he couldn't pull it out."

Lieutenant Yulan nodded slightly after hearing this. "I understand. Do you want me to pull his arm out of there?"

The person in charge, Yun Tong, nodded and prepared to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, Lieutenant Yulan suddenly grabbed Li Mo's arm. With a snap, the shoulder was broken and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Li Mo was stunned. His mouth and eyes opened wide, and he even forgot to scream because of shock.

Luo Xiu who was behind was stunned. He thought that this rescue technique was too advanced.

The researchers around all opened their eyes wide. The person in charge, Yun Tong, didn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He turned them around in his mouth a few times and then swallowed them.

Seeing that the blood was spurting out and was about to cause ischemic shock, Luo Xiu tore off the clothes of a researcher nearby and stepped forward to wrap Li Mo's arm.

He carried him on his shoulders and ran to the hospital department nearby.

Although the people in the hospital were shocked as to why Li Mo came back again, they still gave him emergency treatment considering how seriously he was injured.

Soon Luo Xiu came back again, ready to take away the broken arm, but saw Lieutenant Yulan and others surrounding the gap and observing.

He also moved forward, only to see that Li Mo's broken arm was continuously shrinking inside, as if it was being swallowed.

It disappeared soon, leaving only a hole as wide as a palm.

Under the light of the flashlight, there was indeed something moving inside, like hands or spiders.

It's just because it's too deep inside that no one can see clearly.

It’s over, Li Mo’s palm is gone.

At this time, the person in charge, Yun Tong, spoke again , " Lieutenant, we have another favor to ask of you."

"You're not asking me to grab the things inside." Lieutenant Yulan shook her head quickly, "Don't even think about it. It's impossible for me, but he can ... " Then she pointed at Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu didn't want to either, and he refused as well, "I don't agree either. Losing an arm is too hard for me to accept."

Seeing that the two were talking more and more biased, the general manager Yun Tong quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant."

He said , " Because the mother's vitality is rapidly depleting, it is really not good for our future research. I hope the lieutenant can catch a live wild beast and bring it back for it to eat."

"A dead beast won't work?" Luo Xiu interrupted.

"We've tried, but it didn't work at all, so we want to try it with a living one. After all, living ones are more energetic." Yun Tong pointed to the disappeared arm.

It means that it is a living example.

It is much more difficult to capture a wild beast than to kill it. This task is indeed something that only Lieutenant Yulan can accomplish.

Lieutenant Yulan nodded and agreed, "It's a piece of cake. I'll be right back."

Then he pointed to Luo Xiu who was standing beside him and introduced to Yun Tong:

"This soldier is a survivor who was injected with the latest gene drug from the Red Umbrella Company. You just need a source for the experiment, and he just needs merit points."

"Use them as much as you can. Don't be polite." After saying this, Lieutenant Yulan turned and left.

When Luo Xiu met the eyes of Yun Tong, the general manager, his eyes lit up immediately, "Hey, how about we draw some blood first?"

It's as easy as saying, "Let's go have a coffee together."

Who told Luo Xiu to lack merit points? So he sighed and said , " Please post a task. Without a task, I won't let you draw."

"No problem." Yun Tong acted quickly and issued the task quickly.

[Assist the laboratory in research and complete the task to be rewarded with 20 merit points]

At Yun Tong's invitation, Luo Xiu came to the hall outside and lay on a hospital bed.

A researcher brought a syringe, inserted it into Luo Xiu's arm and started drawing blood.

The bright red, hot blood then flowed through the plastic pipe into the storage bag.

The next second, the plastic pipe melted, and the bright red blood fell onto the metal base and instantly caught fire, scaring everyone.

How high is the temperature of this blood?

Seeing this scene, Yun Tong's eyes suddenly lit up as if a new world had appeared in his mind, and he murmured:

"This material, this material, is hard to come by in a thousand years."

Luo Xiu was also shocked. It was a miracle that the blood with such high temperature did not burn him to death.

Then he changed his mind and wondered if this was the ability brought by the devil blood potion.

Suddenly, his eyes blurred and Luo Xiu felt dizzy.

At the same time, a prompt sound came:

[Spirit -2]

"Having my blood extracted will also damage my mental strength?"

Realizing that something was wrong, Luo Xiu quickly pulled out the needle to prevent excess blood from flowing out.

I thought, I'll just give them a shot in the end.

"Quick, use the high-temperature ceramic needle. This is a great discovery. We must unlock the secrets of this person's body."

Yun Tong's voice was full of fighting spirit, and the researchers around him also had shining eyes. They moved quickly to find new storage equipment.

Because we have to face all kinds of wild beasts, there are many strange equipment in this laboratory.

Soon, they brought a needle and an infusion tube made of fired ceramic.

Luo Xiu, lying on the bed, felt a little bored, and could only let them do whatever they wanted for the sake of merit points.

So he looked at the mother beast placed in the observation room.

Maybe after the previous ordeal, it has changed a little.

The blood-colored column turned grayish white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it also became thinner at an extremely fast rate, as if a large amount of water had disappeared in an instant.

The researchers who were around the mother body were very panicked and hurried to conduct the final experiment on it.

Someone else ran to Yun Tong and reported , " Director, the mother beast is dying."

Yun Tong seemed even more anxious. He immediately rushed over and wanted to complete the last unfinished experiment.

Just when he came to the glass door, he found that he could not open the glass door in front of him.

"What are you doing? Open the door quickly." Yun Tong clapped his hands. He found that the researcher inside had locked the door on his own initiative.

The researchers looked terrified and held the door tightly. They all shook their heads at Yun Tong's request.

At this moment, fist-sized flesh spiders suddenly emerged from their mouths, first one, then two, and then countless.

Their bodies suddenly went limp and fell to the ground, as thin as a folded piece of paper.

Yun Tong was startled. Looking at the pile of human skin on the ground and the flesh-and-blood spider that was slightly bigger than before, he couldn't help but take a step back.

At this time, changes also occurred in the observation room. The mother body of the wild beast completely decomposed and turned into a pool of thick water. A large number of palm-sized flesh spiders ran out of it and covered the entire observation room in a blink of an eye.

They lay on the glass wall, blocking the light inside and everyone's view. Only the miserable cries coming from inside made people outside shudder.

Just then, the door opened and Lieutenant Yulan walked in carrying the bloodhound that was tied up like a dumpling.

When I saw this scene, I asked the people around me , " What happened?"

Luo Xiu pulled out the ceramic pinhole on his arm, jumped off the bed and replied:

"It seems that the experiment went out of control. The mother beast decomposed into a large number of small spiders."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Yulan dragged the immobile bloodhound to the glass.

The spider on the back looks weird, with only four limbs, which at first glance look a bit like human fingers.

But if you look closely, you can see eight sesame-sized black eyeballs at the joints of its limbs, staring outside mercilessly.

Just as Luo Xiu was observing them, they seemed to have received some kind of instructions. They raised one of their legs in unison and knocked on the glass together, making rhythmic sounds.

Boom boom boom.

"Oh no, they're trying to break the glass, we have to stop them."

The person in charge, Yun Tong, instantly understood their plan.

He quickly sent people outside to look for guards.

After a while, two guards rushed in. They stopped in front of the glass, but were at a loss as to what to do.

They didn't know how to deal with so many strange spiders.

"Calm down, everyone." Lieutenant Yulan shouted immediately , " Don't panic, just follow my command."

All the researchers who were originally holding various instruments to help suddenly stopped.

Lieutenant Yulan shouted again , " Yuntong, take everyone away and lock the door. I will take care of everything here."

"I leave this place to you." Yun Tong screamed and escaped from the laboratory first.

Seeing this, the others didn't dare to stay here and ran out together.

By the way, the door was closed and locked again and again.

Luo Xiu took a look around and found that only he, Lieutenant Yulan, and two other guards were left.

Faced with a large number of strange spiders, Luo Xiu felt that he had to do something, otherwise he would not be able to hold on.

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the originally bulletproof glass wall, like a domino, and the next second, more cracks appeared.

Seeing that the glass wall was about to break, Luo Xiu could already imagine that the overwhelming number of strange spiders would drown them all.

"We must eliminate them first." Luo Xiu frowned and looked behind him, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He found several oxygen cylinders.

"Hey man, give me a hand, let's create a fire and burn them all."

The two guards looked at each other and thought it was a good idea, so they followed Luo Xiu to the side and pushed several oxygen cylinders over.

"What are you going to do next?" Lieutenant Yulan asked curiously after seeing the actions of several people.

Luo Xiu pointed to the place with the most cracks and said:

"We'll break it, and then those weird spiders will rush out of that hole, and we'll create a fire that will burn them to death."

"This idea?" Lieutenant Yulan shook her head slightly, seeming not to be optimistic about it, but still agreed.

"Then you guys give it a try."

Luo Xiu opened the oxygen cylinder, allowing a large amount of gas to come out.

Then he raised his gun and shot at the place with the most cracks in front of him.

Ding ding ding.

However, the bullet bounced away, leaving only a few cracks on it without breaking it into pieces.

Luo Xiu felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the glass in front of him was about to break but was not shattered by their guns.

How hard must this be.

"Let me give you a hand."

Lieutenant Yulan shook her head slightly, raised her left hand, and particles moved on her palm, quickly condensing into a blue ball of light.

This made Luo Xiu's pupils shrink suddenly.

Is this the power of a top-level combat knight?

Do they also have special bloodlines that allow them to cast spells?

As the most powerful military force in the Zhulong District, it should be the one that receives the most attention.

But in fact, Luo Xiu's impression of them was limited to drivers of armed mechas, not super-powered people who could cast spells.

"This world seems to be hiding some secrets."

Suddenly, Luo Xiu thought, since the Gru people can come and the Tata people can also come, why don’t other aliens come?

Maybe they have already come, but they just won't reveal it to the public.

After thinking it through, Luo Xiu was no longer so worried about the future of the Earth.

Perhaps the Earth United Department had already learned the whole story from other aliens and had already begun to make plans.

These knights are the product of the exchanges between the two sides, a kind of powerful fighting soldiers.
