Chapter 268: Death?
Hearing this sentence, the other few White Coat Wearers' hands shook.
"Triple dosage?? Dr. Yi, that will kill people..."
"Do as I said."
Dr. Yi answered indifferently, his voice in the darkness just like a bright lamp flame, guiding the numerous White Coat Wearers to continue the experiment.
Having no machines assisting, meant Dr. Yi could only rely on observation of the experimental subject, and his own intuition to carry out commands. There was too much uncertainty in this, but now other than this method, they had no other choices...
As the triple dosage was injected into the black creature's body, the originally gradually extinguishing fire of life, once again recovered a trace of vitality. But the price of doing so was his body expanding like a balloon, transforming into a mountain of black meat within a short few seconds.
The other White Coat Wearers were dumbfounded. They had done experiments for so long, and also hadn't seen this kind of eerie phenomenon. Just when the crowd was at a loss for what to do, Dr. Yi's brows tightly frowned.
"C-03 reagent, five times dosage."
The crowd was already numb. Without the slightest hesitation they just continued operating according to Dr. Yi's guidance. As tube after tube of unknown reagents were pushed into the body, that mountain of meat rapidly began to tremble, the figure again beginning to shrink bit by bit. The dense and numerous black Curse Runes were like having come alive, roaming on top of his body.
"..."
"Forbidden Sea Calamity cell S-09 Potion, ten times dosage."
"..."
"Containment Potion B-04, ten times dosage."
"..."
As one command after another was issued, the White Coat Wearers were already profusely sweating. They looked at this clump of substance of unknown thing on the test bench, unable to resist gulping a mouthful of saliva.
"C-10 Potion..."
"Dr. Yi..."
"Shut Up! Didn't you hear I am currently speaking??"
"No, Dr. Yi..." The crowd surrounded by the test bench. In the dim candlelight radiance, one White Coat Wearer stiffly raised his head. "He seems to be dead..."
Dr. Yi's body trembled slightly.
He looked at that clump of substance already motionless for a long time on the test bench. No matter how the White Coat Wearers injected Potions, there was entirely no reaction. The original wailing sounds had even more so disappeared since who knows how long ago... The air plunged into a patch of dead silence.
"...Is death confirmed?" Dr. Yi hoarsely spoke.
"It seems there aren't any life signs... Moreover he's already like this, we also don't know where the heart or blood vessels are." The White Coat Wearer gulped. "However, looking from the stress reactions, he should be dead."
Dr. Yi did not speak again, but instead sat there silent for a long time, carrying the liquor bottle slowly standing up.
"The liquor is finished drinking... I will go change for a new bottle." Dr. Yi muttered to himself. "Process him..."
Dr. Yi opened the door and walked out of the laboratory, then seeing quite a few Enforcers passing through the corridor. The dim base was already incomparably chaotic. He frowned, going straight towards the other side of the corridor.
At this time the other White Coat Wearers were all staying put on the spot, only Dr. Yi passed through among them like a person with nothing the matter, immediately attracting the attention of a group of Enforcers.
"Dr. Yi, now is an extraordinary period, please do not walk around casually." Qiong Xuan spoke with a deep voice. "The Ritual Artifact on the third floor was artificially damaged, there might be enemies infiltrating into the base..."
"Scram."
Dr. Yi carrying the empty liquor bottle, backhandedly threw off Qiong Xuan's arm blocking him. Along with his speaking, a dense smell of liquor assaulted the face.
Qiong Xuan didn't know what kind of fit Dr. Yi was throwing, but hindered by the other party's status and scientific research value, he also didn't dare to use roughness, only able to say as peacefully as possible, "Dr. Yi, the base is currently out of power, you walking around blindly alone might encounter danger."
"Is that so? If they have the ability let him kill me."
Dr. Yi didn't plan to cooperate with Qiong Xuan's work in the slightest. Not even turning his head he just walked towards his own room. The numerous Enforcers looked at each other in dismay, also not knowing what should be done for a time.
Qiong Xuan conflicted for a long time, still not using violence to clamp down on the other party, but rather letting him leave.
"Have you found out any anomalies?" He turned his head asking the Sixth Stage Enforcer at the side.
"...No, the first to third floors were all searched thoroughly. No one died, no one was injured, no one went missing, and there are also no traces of things being stolen away... Other than the power outage, it seems there are no other anomalies." The Sixth Stage Enforcer spoke doubtfully.
"What about the cause of the power outage?"
"Still investigating."
"The [Eye of Truth] being destroyed, inevitably it's someone wanting to secretly infiltrate into the lower floors... Since there are no changes on the third floor, then the problem should be on the fourth floor." Qiong Xuan's gaze fell on the channel leading to the fourth floor, his brows frowning tighter and tighter. "But how is this possible? No one can pass through that one's checkpoint rightly speaking..."
Qiong Xuan pondered for a moment, still deciding to go himself to ask exactly what happened. He gestured for the other Enforcers to stand by on the spot, himself going straight into the channel.
After passing through a few corners, a red-haired figure appeared before his eyes.
"Aurora Base security Captain Qiong Xuan, greets the Commander-in-Chief." Qiong Xuan spoke extremely respectfully.
The red-haired woman sitting by the door, unhurriedly flipped the book backwards a page, her gaze falling on him coldly and clearly. "Speak."
"..." The moment he was watched by that gaze, for some unknown reason, Qiong Xuan felt the temperature of the entire channel starting to drop. An unprecedented sense of oppression enveloped his heart.
What's going on? Today the Commander-in-Chief's mood seems to not be very good??
Qiong Xuan unconsciously gulped, weighing his words. "Because the base just suddenly lost power, adding on the third floor's Ritual Artifact being artificially damaged... so we suspect there are enemies who permeated into the base. I just want to come ask the Commander-in-Chief, you... at the fourth floor's checkpoint, has anyone gone in and out?"
The red-haired woman's eyes narrowed slightly.
As veins popped up one by one on the back of the hand she was holding the book with, a freezing killing intent flashed past in the channel... Qiong Xuan's heartbeat even skipped a beat!
In this instant, he even suspected whether this one in front of him was going to make a move against him the next moment, killing him on the spot right here. That kind of oppressive feeling of life and death in an instant, Qiong Xuan already didn't know how long he hadn't experienced it for.
"Commander... Commander-in-Chief?" Qiong Xuan spoke incomparably nervous.
The sense of oppression between the channels abruptly dissipated. The red-haired woman expressionlessly flipped the book another page, as if everything that happened just now was merely an illusion,
She was silent for a long time, answering:
"No... no one has come."
Qiong Xuan was stunned. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still nodded respectfully:
"Understood, then I will continue searching..."
"Qiong Xuan." The red-haired woman suddenly spoke.
"What other instructions does the Commander-in-Chief have?"
"If you find that intruder, kill on the spot... understand?"
The doubts in Qiong Xuan's heart became increasingly dense. He was just about to question further, when the red-haired woman raised her head and glanced at him again... Qiong Xuan trembled all over, immediately answering:
"Understand, understand!"
