Chapter 25 Illusionary Astral Essence
Before entering the door, I thought it was a room, but after I came in, I realized that it was actually another long corridor.
The expression on Yuan Jin's face was a little confused: "I just looked at the instructions outside and thought I could see the experimental well here, why is there a corridor again... Alas, maybe I've read it wrong."
So everyone walked forward along the corridor again. Guan Yunchang looked at the floor under his feet intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly stopped.
He asked me, "Do you think this floor looks familiar?"
I glanced around and said, "It seems a bit...but the floors here are almost the same, right?"
Guan Yunchang said: "I have a good memory. I should have walked past this floor before, look!" He pointed to a footprint on the floor.
The footprints were very clear. I went up and saw that they were footprints of military boots.
I called Yuan Jin to come and see him. Yuan Jin was stunned when he saw it: "Why is this a bit like my shoe print?"
There are four rows of shoe prints on the ground, extending straight forward.
Two of the shoe prints were exactly the same as the footprints of Guan Yun and I, and two pairs of shoe prints, which were the same as those of Yuan Jin.
"This place is really weird!" Yuan Jin shouted: "Retreat!"
The four of them turned around and ran towards the door. Guan Yunchang pushed the door open and everyone retreated to the previous corridor.
However, the scene in front of us surprised us again.
The snow-white corridor, the dim light, the four lines of footprints extending forward on the floor...
Almost exactly the same as the previous room!
Everyone stood there, wondering, guessing everything possible.
After a long time, Yuan Jin said: "Is this the legendary 'time and space collapse'?"
Yi Liang stabbed him: "Stop spreading a horror atmosphere."
I think this place may be some kind of "organization" set up by people in the laboratory. As we entered, the "organization" was started.
I was about to tell Guan Yunchang what I thought, but I saw him bent down and prying the floor tiles.
He said while prying: "Since you are trapped here and you can't even walk around and get out of this room, so why not try it down."
Yuan Jin nodded: "I have seen the layout diagram before. There is a large basement below. The walls on both sides of the corridor are very thick. Why not try it here."
However, after prying for a long time, the floor was only slightly pried open.
Guan Yunchang was a little discouraged: "Why is this floor so strong!"
I knocked on the floor, and the floor made a clanging sound. I said, "This may be to prevent accidents during the experiment, so I used more solid materials."
Yuan Jin took out a grenade from his backpack: "Do you want to try this?"
Yongliang quickly stopped him: "This is a closed space, be careful that the explosion will bring us in."
"What should I do?" Yuan Jin said deflatedly, "Are you going to be trapped here?"
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came.
We turned our heads and looked at the door together, and I thought to myself, was it because the person guarding the door who thought something had happened to us, so we came in to look for us?
The door was pushed open, and a boy in white appeared. He was handsome, thin and gentle. He stood outside the door without coming in.
The boy looked at us with a very surprised expression on his face: "Huh? Someone actually came?"
Yuan Jin pulled his gun and pointed it at him: "Who are you?"
The boy waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not a bad person, I'm a staff member here. When I hear something happening, I come and take a look."
He took out his work permit, and there was a photo of him on the document, and a line of words:
"Materials Laboratory, Intern, Zhao Zilong."
Yuan Jin had read the ID and was relieved that he had put away the gun.
"I didn't expect there was someone here. We came to perform the task. After we came in, we didn't see anyone."
Zhao Zilong nodded, and when he saw someone coming, he was obviously very happy: "The Yellow Turban Army came here to attack the air. I hid in the warehouse and avoided the disaster."
I asked, "Where are the people here?"
Zhao Zilong said: "Some have escaped, some have been killed. I have been eating and drinking in the vending machine until now."
Guan Yunchang asked: "Since you are from here, I'll ask you, what's going on with this weird room?"
Zhao Zilong scratched his head: "I didn't understand it very well, but it should be related to some material placed here. Behind this room is the experimental well. There are some highly confidential materials in the experimental well, which are usually unavailable for interns like me. The air raid caused abnormal power supply voltage inside the building, stimulating some material in the experimental well, causing abnormal phenomena. But it is limited to this room."
"How do you leave this room?" I asked.
Zhao Zilong said: "I will turn off the backup power supply behind later. After turning it off, the power supply of the entire building will be suspended and the room will return to normal. Stay in place and don't move around."
Yuan Jin and Yongliang looked at each other, and Yongliang asked Zhao Zilong: "Have you heard of a material called Xingzhi?"
Zhao Zilong said curiously: "Of course I know. The research team I am in is responsible for researching this. How do you know this?"
Yongliang said: "We have another task to take the star marrow away."
Zhao Zilong smiled bitterly and said, "If you can take it away, I won't stop you. But you must know that the thing is very dangerous. Now this vision may be caused by it."
Suddenly, a sound came from outside, and gunfire sounded faintly.
Guan Yunchang hurriedly said, "Don't talk about this for now. If the battle outside has started, we must leave here quickly."
Zhao Zilong nodded: "Then I'll go and deal with the power supply system first." After that, he turned around and left.
We stood there, gunfire sounds heard intermittently in our ears, and I said worriedly: "Can it be Gongsun and the others..."
Yongliang said: "Once we can escape from this predicament, Yuan Jin and I will go outside to see the situation first. If there is a battle outside the door, we can reinforce them. Liu Xuande and Guan Yunchang, you two have little combat experience. Go and get the Xingzhi with Zhao Zilong. After taking the Xingzhi, take Zhao Zilong with him. Zhao Zilong is a person who has studied Xingzhi and will be of great use in the future."
The headlights above our heads went out, and the strange phenomenon disappeared. We used flashlights to illuminate them and found ourselves in a rotunda with smooth ground under our feet.
After a while, Zhao Zilong came back with a flashlight: "Come with me, let's go and get the star marrow."
After the strange phenomenon disappeared, everyone also identified the direction. He went outside the door to check the situation. Guan Yunchang and I followed Zhao Zilong to get the star marrow.
The storage area of Star Marrow is very interesting. It is actually in a huge pool. A translucent box is placed in the middle of the pool. Something in the box is emitting light. The light shines through the box and directly illuminates a nearby area.
Zhao Zilong said: "This is the star marrow. These waters were specially prepared to stabilize it. This is the experimental well."
Guan Yunchang nodded: "What are you waiting for? Go and get it!"
As soon as he stepped into the pool, his face suddenly changed and he shrank his feet back.
"There is something in this water!" Guan Yunchang pulled the bolt of the gun and pointed the muzzle at the pool.
Chapter completed!
