47: Chapter 47 [Fenrir Matrix] and [Bio-Barbie]

Underground Level 1 of the [Exotic Beast Research Laboratory].

Chu Hong panted slightly and shifted with all his might, finally managing to pull himself out of the narrow gap between the wolf corpse and the wall.

Looking at the huge wolf corpse in front of him, comparable in size to an armored vehicle.

Chu Hong couldn't help but curse inwardly once again at the disgusting nature of this [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital] map.

The outskirts of the map were filled with damn ordinary zombies everywhere.

Even the slightest commotion would instantly trigger a terrifying horde of corpses.

Originally, he thought that with his intelligence, using a combination of a time bomb and blood bags would directly resolve the crisis and lure all the monsters out of the building.

Little did he expect...

Inside this [Exotic Beast Research Laboratory], besides the ultimate boss that had previously broken through the building and rushed out.

There was also a zombie wolf like the one right in front of him.

He took a deep breath and pressed his hand onto the huge wolf corpse.

Searching Project Code Fenrir Matrix: ...

One taking up one grid, one taking up two grids, and another taking up one grid.

This Fenrir has style.

Ding! Xiao Zi obtained a [Fenrir Hair Sample].

Ding! Xiao Jin obtained a [Fenrir Fang].

Ding! Xiao Lan obtained a [Syringe].

Chu Hong went to search the wolf corpse in the cage from earlier.

Searching [Project Code Fenrir Infected Body]: [α Virus Inhibitor (Blue)]

Out of stock...

Stowing the items into his inventory, Chu Hong finally stepped into the main area of Underground Level 1.

This was a place resembling a living creature Warehouse. Looking around, densely packed cages either held pools of pitch-black, sticky substances.

Or shattered beast-like skeletons.

With a cold gaze, Chu Hong swept across each of these dark cages one by one. Seeing that some cages still contained obvious living entities, he unhesitatingly hurled his source blade in an instant.

Blessed by the Goblin Assassination Technique, he quickly cleared out this area temporarily.

He arrived at a control console that seemed to control hoisting chains for the cages.

The quest Investigation icon appeared before his eyes.

Chu Hong walked over, and a progress bar instantly appeared before his eyes, loading.

A few seconds later.

[Source Energy Department · Source Energy Research (III)]: Enter the designated area of the [Exotic Beast Research Laboratory] to conduct an Investigation 1/1.

The Investigation quest in the [Exotic Beast Research Laboratory] was now complete, and the next two quests were both in the [Main Hospital Building] area.

However.

Looking at the staircase leading to an even deeper underground area before him, Chu Hong hesitated somewhat.

"Should I go down? Neither above-ground level one nor two had any major drops, and underground level one didn't either. That major drop must be further down..."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Hong glanced back at the Fenrir Matrix he had just killed.

He gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! I'm fully geared up right now! What is there to be afraid of? Worst case, I'll toss out all my magnetic bombs; it'll just attract the boss back over!"

Thinking of this.

Chu Hong immediately took steps and walked toward the lower level.

On the gloomy staircase, there were still many decayed skeletons lying around. The sticky feeling underfoot made every step Chu Hong took emit a disgusting sound.

Darkness!

A darkness even more profound than the previous level.

As if wisps of pitch-black fog were still wandering within the dark air.

Through the eerie green vision of his mask, Chu Hong saw the functional layout of this level.

[Core Laboratory] and [Modification Zone]!

Right now, in the area before Chu Hong, there were rows of conveyor belts that had stopped operating. At each node position of the conveyor belts, there was a hoisting platform.

Chu Hong moved his footsteps cautiously, deliberately applying source energy to his perception of the surroundings.

He also executed the Goblin Assassination Technique.

To minimize his presence as much as possible.

However.

When he clearly saw what was on that hoisting platform, the pupils beneath Chu Hong's mask suddenly constricted.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of a piercing wind suddenly came over.

Almost instinctively, Chu Hong wanted to use his thrusters to dodge.

However.

This sudden attack from behind was even faster and fiercer than he had imagined.

Just at the moment when Chu Hong thought he was inevitably going to be hit.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

[Ba Xiaoying] on his shoulder seemed to suddenly discover something, fiercely slashing her tiny scalpel toward the mid-air behind Chu Hong.

A metallic clash of "clack" accompanied by sparks splashing everywhere.

Chu Hong finally saw clearly what the thing shooting at him was.

It was a syringe with a needle!

"Hiss!"

Thrust!

Instant turn!

Chu Hong's figure instantly dodged behind a nearby experimental bench.

When he saw that standing figure through the eerie green display of his mask, his mouth involuntarily widened in shock.

Mutant zombie [Biochemical Barbie]!

That was a mutant zombie extremely similar to the [Shadow Barbie] Chu Hong had encountered earlier in the basement of the [Main Hospital Building].

The same female gender, the same nurse uniform, just as hot and sexy.

However, the opponent's hair color was light purple, and instead of a scalpel, she held two injection tubes.

A rustling sound made Chu Hong's gaze shift slightly.

Then his pupils involuntarily constricted.

He saw that around the syringe inserted into the floor like a blade not far away, sounds of intense corrosion were continuously emanating.

Dark brown, viscous liquid was bubbling up from the ground.

And inside that syringe, some kind of reagent was unexpectedly and continuously gushing out automatically.

Chu Hong felt his scalp go numb: "What the fuck! So devious?!"

However, before he could have more time to think.

A gloomy smile appeared on the face of the [Biochemical Barbie] in front of him, and with her syringes whistling, she actually blasted towards Chu Hong once again.

Inside those syringes, reagents surged bubbling.

Frightening Chu Hong into hurriedly using his thrusters to dodge.

"Hiss!"

The turbine behind continuously propelled Chu Hong, his figure rapidly shifting position.

However.

Looking at the [Biochemical Barbie] who seemed to have an endless supply and could conjure injection tubes out of thin air, the veins on Chu Hong's forehead twitched.

He couldn't keep dragging this out.

Once the commotion here attracted the boss from the parking lot side, or rather, if the bombs installed at the parking lot could no longer serve to attract attention.

Then he would be reporting back to the [Special Service Department] today.

"Damn it! [Water Magic: Storm Tuna]!"

As source energy gathered and magic power surged, Chu Hong, still in the middle of thrusting, abruptly made a ninety-degree turn, and the gleaming longsword in his hand rushed right in front of the [Biochemical Barbie] in the blink of an eye.

The longsword went straight for her neck.

However...

The [Biochemical Barbie] smiled!

Seeing this momentary gloomy smile, Chu Hong instantly felt his back tighten involuntarily.

Immediately after, he saw a scene that almost made him curse out loud.

"Squish!"

A syringe was directly stabbed into her own arm by the [Biochemical Barbie], and then, that arm—which, despite being ashen gray, had previously been slender—suddenly expanded like a balloon.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a gigantic muscular arm resembling intertwined old tree roots.

A fist carrying a whistling sound smashed toward Chu Hong's face, frightening him into hurriedly activating his magic once again.

"Boom!"

Chu Hong's back slammed hard against a pile of experimental equipment or tool tables, causing a messy commotion.

Inside the mask, alarm lights were flashing.

Chu Hong's face flushed red.

"Damn, is this map fucking poisonous?! And this can only be considered an elite monster?!"
