Chapter 288 Mechanism
Miao Yin left a small flame in the room.
“Burning it directly would attract the mutants, so let’s keep a backup plan. If we encounter them later, I’ll burn this place down,” she said.
The group left the eerie place and continued on their way.
Further on, there was a sealed-off area. It seemed that a fierce fight had taken place here, as the walls had collapsed, completely blocking the corridor.
Fang Ce took out a map and looked at the area behind him: "After passing this road, the storage area for biological agents is next. This corridor is straight and there are no obstacles."
However, things don't look peaceful behind this.
"Is there another passageway we can cross here?" Miao Yin asked.
"Yes, but it's a bit far. We have to go around from the elevator we came up in."
Fang Ce looked at the wall, which was now in dozens of pieces, and said with a serious expression, "It seems that it's not very safe behind here."
Yu Feng suggested, "Let's remember this location. We can teleport back here as soon as we get the item."
"Can it be that accurate?" He An asked anxiously.
"The distance between these floors shouldn't be too different. As long as I can stay in mid-air, I won't get stuck on the wall. However, this is a remote teleportation that can only be done when there's no other way."
“I think Yu Feng’s suggestion makes sense,” Yang Jin agreed. “From now on, we’ll test the distance every so often to avoid making mistakes.”
"can."
Following the same method, the group once again used their supernatural abilities to pass through the pile of ruins.
However, as soon as they entered, all their instruments went off. The piercing alarm sent chills down everyone's spines.
"Shut it down immediately!" Fang Ce ordered.
They quickly took the gas detectors from their waists, turned off the volume, and the corridor returned to silence. In the deep darkness, only their heartbeats pounded like drums.
Even a gas mask couldn't block out the bitter smell. Miao Yin took out one of her own gas masks from Guanyin Temple and pressed it against Tu Hao's face.
Tu Hao immediately took the pendant and put it on before daring to relax his breathing.
As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong chemical odor. His mercenary instincts made him hold his breath immediately, preventing him from inhaling any more gas.
Miao Yin clutched the gas detector in her hand; the red numbers on it were alarming.
The concentration of toxic gas here has far exceeded the standard, reaching the maximum limit of the detector. She even suspects that the actual concentration of toxic gas is even higher, but the instrument just cannot display it.
She touched her beating heart. Apart from the strange smell, her body did not show any abnormal reaction. It seemed that she was immune. So she looked at Tu Hao beside her.
The equipment worn by everyone in the squad has been modified by the base to prevent such situations from occurring.
However, the mask that Miao Yin gave to Tu Hao was just a normal gas mask that she had previously stockpiled abroad.
Tu Hao stood still for a moment to assess his physical condition, then shook his head at her to indicate that he was fine.
Miao Yin withdrew her gaze and took a few steps forward. The ground on this side of the road was covered with broken glass, and she could hear the cracking sound with every step she took.
Sure enough, ahead was the place where biological agents were stored.
Half of the storage room wall was smashed, and the glass cabinets and utensils inside were also broken all over the floor. An unknown liquid was spilled on the floor and table, and after drying, it turned into puddles of sticky water stains.
These poisonous gases were released from here.
After confirming that the situation was not caused by a mutant, Miao Yin was able to spare some attention to check on the other members of the team.
The specially modified equipment still worked, and they were not poisoned.
Fang Ce was checking their conditions one by one, and once she had confirmed everything, the group immediately followed her.
"Get out of here quickly."
Such a toxic environment is too dangerous; they must leave immediately.
The group walked quickly forward, but unexpectedly, just after passing the room where the preparations were stored, Yu Feng stepped on something.
The passageway was suddenly illuminated by a bright red light, and the alarm on the wall sounded a warning.
Before Yu Feng could react, Tu Hao pulled him to the back.
A green laser suddenly shot out from where he had just been standing.
Immediately afterwards, the entire passageway was filled with green lasers, even the ground.
The broken glass that had fallen to the ground was shattered the moment the laser shot out, producing a series of crackling and popping sounds.
Tu Hao fired a shot at the siren, and only then did it quiet down.
“These are security measures for the armory to prevent theft,” Fang Ce said.
"But logically speaking, since there was a fight here before, these protective measures should have been destroyed," He An said with lingering fear.
Miao Yin stepped forward and picked up the things that Yu Feng had stepped on.
It was a small remote control with six buttons. He must have stepped on the switch, which caused the laser to appear.
"Perhaps it was accidentally turned off after being triggered, which is why it has been preserved intact until now," Miao Yin analyzed, looking at the damaged casing.
“Press the black one,” Tu Hao said.
Miao Yin pressed the black button on top, and the laser array disappeared.
“After growing up?”
“A wealthy person abroad used this equipment before.”
To this end, Tu Hao specifically found out the company that produced this set of defensive equipment and studied the equipment from beginning to end, following their production line.
"Everyone be careful not to step on anything that triggers the mechanism."
With the crisis over, they continued walking forward, finally reaching the bottom of the stairs on the next floor.
There are ventilation openings to the outside, which slightly reduces the concentration of toxic gas.
They turned into a new room and went out through the back door, and finally saw the elevator leading to the thirtieth floor.
The special elevator is different from the ones outside; there is an additional inspection device outside its original elevator door.
"Let's see if it still works."
Fang Ce pressed a few buttons on the device to start the machine. Fortunately, there was no sign of intrusion. The blue light on the instrument lit up, and the detection station was activated.
He took out a fingerprint authenticator and placed it on the device. After a beep, the fingerprint verification was successful, and the protective shell hanging outside the elevator opened, revealing the real elevator door.
Miao Yin looked down and saw large black marks on the ground in front of her.
It's exactly the same as the traces left where the administrator died.
Some people went through great hardships to escape here, but they still couldn't escape the poison and died, their bodies turning into water.
"Come in, the outer protective shield needs to be closed," Fang Ce said.
The group entered the protective enclosure.
Next to the elevator was a combination lock. Fang Ce opened the cover, pressed a few numbers on it, and then closed it.
Immediately afterwards, the space below the combination lock recessed, and a white light shone into the palm-sized space.
He took out the key that he had kept carefully safe all the way and pressed it into the key.
It's called a key, but it's actually just a card-shaped key made of a special material.
Verification successful, elevator doors open.
They stepped into the elevator and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the only way to reach Room 1. There are no signs of the elevator being hacked, which means that unless someone happens to be on the 30th floor that day and has been mutated, there is no need to worry about attacks from mutated people on the way out.
There are three floors to choose from in the elevator, two of which are illusions, and only one is the correct floor.
Fang Ce pressed the bottom button, and the elevator slowly started moving.
Miao Yin leaned against the side and waved the remote control in her hand at Tu Hao: "Translate the usage instructions on this."
So, Tu Hao pointed to each of the buttons and explained their functions to her.
"It seems that with this, we can control the defense system of the twenty-seventh layer."
"Mm," Tu Hao responded.
Not long after, the elevator stopped and the doors slowly opened.
Miao Yin put the remote control in her pocket and prepared to go out.
