194: Chapter 194 Taboo (Extra for Silver Alliance Leader Waterlord Sugar) (Part 4) 194: Chapter 194 Taboo (Extra for Silver Alliance Leader Waterlord Sugar) (Part 4) Lan Xi organized these drafts and, taking out a file bag from her backpack, gently placed them inside before handing it over to Su Mo.
“Keep it in your backpack for now,” she said.
“Oh~” Su Mo replied.
“Anything else found?”
“No, we’ve searched everywhere.
It’s as if this place has been ransacked,” Zhang Hao said with a hint of regret.
“They must have destroyed the docunts,” Su Mo speculated calmly.
Finding even a single overlooked docunt was already good luck.
Normally, they shouldn’t have been able to find any information at all.
And if one wasn’t careful, these draft papers could just as easily have been mistaken for trash and overlooked.
“Alright, then do we move on, boss?
Continue exploring other areas?” Ma Ke asked.
“Mm,” Su Mo nodded slightly.
However, just as Su Mo stepped through the office threshold, he stopped again.
Lan Xi and the others looked at him, puzzled.
Su Mo turned back and walked over to the edge of the wall.
He took down a group photo hanging there, exposing a line of scrawled text on the back.
“When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Do not touch the forbidden…”
Sun Duoxiang and the others also saw these words and exchanged glances, their faces reflecting mutual perplexity.
“Boss?
Is the exploration that follows very dangerous?
Why do I get the feeling this ssage is kind of eerie?” Sun Duoxiang asked.
“Let’s go,” Su Mo responded calmly.
They were not yet in the core area.
The truly crucial laboratories should be deeper inside.
He pocketed the group photo.
Sun Duoxiang and the others swallowed hard.
“Alright,” they agreed.
Su Mo and his group left the room and continued forward.
As they did so, the number of ice sculptures, including zombies, Black Salamander Beasts, and highly deford monsters of unseen breeds, began to increase.
All of them looked vividly lifelike, as though they could co alive at any mont.
As Sun Duoxiang and the others passed by these monster ice sculptures, they did so with caution, sidestepping gingerly, afraid of making contact.
If any were not quite dead, that would spell trouble.
Before long, Su Mo and his team reached the end of the corridor.
As he stepped forward, the space suddenly opened up.
They found themselves in a laboratory spanning tens of thousands of square feet.
The room was filled with nurous Biochemical Jars and a variety of precision instrunts, but unfortunately, most of these jars and pieces of equipnt were damaged.
The ground was littered with the corpses of research personnel as well as lifelike monster sculptures, including juvenile Synthetic Beasts.
It was clear that a catastrophic disaster had taken place here.
Witnessing this scene, Sun Duoxiang and his companions felt a chill that went beyond the already frigid temperature of the room.
Su Mo slowly walked further inside, scrutinizing the surrounding equipnt.
He spotted dissection tables, blood extraction jars…
Sun Duoxiang and the others cautiously followed behind, occasionally glancing at the ice sculptures they passed by.
Though they knew the monsters were likely dead, the sight was still unnerving.
It was a normal reaction after all; anyone would feel unsettled in a morgue despite knowing the dead wouldn’t rise, let alone in a graveyard of monsters.
And these monsters are different from humans; who knows if they’re truly dead.
Soon they arrived at the central area of the laboratory, where a snake-shaped Synthetic Beast that was several tens of ters long and five or six ters tall ca into everyone’s view.
The creature had a white python-like body, and near the head, the snake’s body was split open.
Inside were rib-like structures, crisscrossed, with different alien species’ arms embedded on either side, and the head was that of a human, with black eyeballs embedded along the lengthy body.
The tail had also been modified and closely resembled Bai Ze’s tail, complete with a cross-shaped slit.
Its two eyes on the head had also been replaced, one black and one red, like jewels.
As for the internal organs, they had been swapped to the extent that they could not be further replaced.
“What kind of monster is this?”
Sun Duoxiang and the others were scared out of their wits, instinctively backing away, especially Lan Xi, who turned pale with fright.
The nature of snakes already induces fear in people, not to ntion such a large white snake, moreover one that had undergone complex modifications, fusing the strongest organs of various low-level alien species.
The color of the skin was also different from normal white, filled with a sense of disease, as if it had been injected with the zombie virus.
Su Mo raised his hand to signal them not to panic and cautiously approached, then used his bracelet to scan the monster, which imdiately popped up a prompt.
“Type III General Level Synthetic Beast · Resentnt Snake”
Seeing this prompt, Su Mo’s hairs stood on end.
A Type III General Level creature, wasn’t that on par with the monster on Sea Breeze Island?
They were unable to defeat it even with cha, let alone without cha.
These people truly were crazy.
However, Su Mo quickly controlled his emotions; he used the Black Steel chanical Armor to scan the monster in front of him.
A prompt soon popped up.
“No life sign reactions.”
Seeing this prompt, Su Mo’s heart eased slightly; it seed to be frozen to death.
The temperature in this laboratory was indeed cold to the extre, at least minus one hundred degrees Celsius.
Many monsters are not afraid of high temperatures and explosive impacts, but extre cold is still very effective in killing many monsters.
“Don’t panic, it’s already dead.”
Su Mo said calmly to Sun Duoxiang and the others.
“Phew, so it’s dead.”
Sun Duoxiang and the rest let out a sigh of relief.
“Let’s not worry about it for now.
It’s so cold here; the monsters should all be frozen to death.
Logically, there should be no danger, so everybody split up and search around.
See if there’s anything of value, let’s quickly clean this place out and leave.”
Although Su Mo said there wasn’t much danger here, his heart was still very uneasy, always feeling great danger, so grabbing the things and leaving quickly was the best option.
“No problem.”
Sun Duoxiang and the others nodded and agreed.
Therefore, the five of them spread out to search.
Along the edge of this circular laboratory were individual rooms.
Su Mo headed towards the largest room.
The tal door was wide open, and he entered with caution.
He found that the laboratory’s control center was inside this room, with human corpses scattered all over the floor.
Among them was an old corpse sprawled over the console, with several chasing monsters turned into ice sculptures behind it.
If he wasn’t mistaken, it was the deceased elder who had initiated the freezing program, eting their end together with these out-of-control monsters.
Su Mo carefully turned the elder’s body over.
Seeing the old man’s appearance, Su Mo was certain that he was Dan Dan’s grandfather.
Su Mo tried to search his pockets and found a blood-soaked mini notebook.
He gently opened it to take a look.
He discovered that most of the content was illegible due to stains, with only scattered fragnts of information readable.
