Chapter 697
Chapter 697 – : Chapter 687: Underground Black Objects
The technology of using saltpeter to make ice had been popularized in the outer wall area. It wasn’t strange that there was an ice pile here. Dudian’s eyes fell on the metal cabinet. He looked at the cabinet. There were bottles of strange shaped metal bottles which were as thick as a finger.
He punched the metal cabinet and cracked it. He grabbed one of the metal bottles and opened it. A strange fragrance floated out, the smell was exactly the same as the god’s marrow that he got from the Dragon Clan.
He looked down and saw the golden liquid inside the bottle. It was God’s marrow!
“Very good!”He turned to the two men next to Poland: “Wrap all the God’s marrow here. I’ll give you five minutes.”
The two men’s faces changed as they looked at Poland.
Poland couldn’t help but ask: “The God’s marrow is all that we have in the past month. Do you want all of it?”
“Are you going to keep it?”Dudian coldly shouted: “Hurry Up! I will cut off your hand if it takes more than one minute!”
Both of them were scared out of their wits. They didn’t bother to look at Poland as they hurried to open the cabinet. They took out a bunch of keys from the drawer under the table. They opened the cabinet one by one according to the number on the keys. They were sweating profusely.
Dudian’s attention was diverted to the surface of the Earth to prevent reinforcements from coming at any time.
Soon, the two took out all the god’s marrow and put it into a huge black bag that looked like cloth or plastic. Dudian raised his hand and estimated that it weighed 400-500 kilograms, he casually asked: “How many minutes have passed?”
One of the middle-aged men’s face turned pale as he said in a trembling voice: “One, one minute…”
“Alright.”Dudian raised his hand and cut off the arm of an old man who was standing next to him.
Poland didn’t expect that dudian would attack without hesitation. It was as easy as pulling weeds. He was shocked, angry and scared, “You… you are so indifferent to life. It’s… It’s…”
“If you think it’s cruel, I can help him to reattach his arm. You can take one of his arms.”Dudian glanced at him.
Poland’s face turned red. He was so angry that he was trembling.
The old man hugged the wound of his broken arm. His lips were white from the pain. He was about to faint.
Dudian didn’t pay attention to him. He carried the huge black bag out of the room. He was about to leave when he heard a sharp scream coming from underground. It was as sharp as a metal whistle. He looked down and saw the source of the sound. There was an irregular weak heat source.
He was a bit surprised. He had noticed the heat source reaction earlier. But at that time the heat source reaction was in an oval shape, it should be the hatchling of a monster or an egg that was about to hatch. But at this moment the oval shape of the heat source was gone. Instead it became a thin irregular shape like a puddle of mud.
He was a bit curious. What kind of creature could change its body shape at will?
He suddenly thought that the heat source was on the eighth floor. According to the scene he had seen during the attack, the professor was working on the eighth floor. In other words, the deeper he went, the more advanced the experiment was.
He immediately turned and walked down the corridor.
Poland saw Dudian going down and was startled: “Are you going underground?”
“It’s rare for me to come here. How can I not visit?”Dudian said as he quickly went down the stairs. Soon he came to the eighth floor. He went straight down the corridor towards the room with the irregular heat source.
Poland saw Dudian running down the stairs. His face changed as he chased after him.
Dudian noticed Poland’s expression. He kicked the door open and looked at the irregular heat source in the room. He was surprised as he saw that the room looked like a laboratory. There were many test tubes inside, there was a huge transparent glass tank in the middle of the room. It was about three meters in diameter and two meters in height.
The bottom of the glass tank was pitch black. A mass of black substance was squirming inside. It seemed to be trying to squeeze out from the bottom of the glass tank and the cracks in the ground.
The black substance seemed to be alive. After Dudian kicked the door in, his body rippled. The frequency of the squirming increased. At the same time, there was a sharp sound, a fist-sized black mass slowly wriggled. It looked like a head but also like its eyes. It quietly stood there as if it was staring at Dudian.
Dudian had a feeling of being stared at. Moreover, the feeling of being stared at was not friendly. It was full of evil and murderous intent. It was like a ferocious beast was staring at him. His eyes flashed. From the environment here, this thing should be an experiment of the Monster Research Institute. However, he had never seen such a monster. It was not recorded in the Monster Atlas.
“What is this?”Dudian asked Poland who was chasing after him.
Poland’s face changed when he saw the black substance in the glass tank. His mouth was bitter as he saw Dudian ask. He didn’t expect that he would be noticed by the teenager. However, he was slightly glad that the teenager didn’t recognize this object, it seemed that he didn’t recognize it.
He immediately said: “This is the black stream. Our experiment is only half-finished. It hasn’t been completed yet.”
“Is it?”Dudian noticed that his eyes flickered before he replied. He narrowed his eyes, “Is this thing life? How is it made? What is its function? What is the purpose of making it?”
He quickly asked a series of questions. He stared at Poland.
Poland’s face slightly changed. It was alright for him to make up a name but it would take some time to think about other things. He saw that Dudian’s eyes were burning as if he was looking straight into his heart. He felt a bit nervous. He wasn’t good at lying, so he didn’t know where to start. He hesitated for a moment, he said: “It is a kind of life, but its intelligence is relatively low. It is similar to ordinary cattle and sheep. It is made of monsters and other materials. The specific process is too complicated.”
“What is the purpose of making it?”Dudian repeated. He didn’t give Poland time to think.
Poland clenched her teeth: “It is mainly used for exploration. Its perception is very sharp. It can be used as a tamed beast to explore the wasteland.”
Dudian felt his heart beat faster. He narrowed his eyes: “So its attack is weak?”
“Yes, yes.”
Dudian stepped forward and kicked the glass cylinder. The glass cylinder looked transparent but it was extremely hard. Fortunately, he used all his strength. Bang! There was a hole in the glass but there were no shards of glass splashing out, instead, it was like an iron sheet that was dented into the inside.
Before Dudian’s feet could pull back, the black substance seemed to have sensed something. It stretched out black tentacles and wrapped around Dudian’s feet.
Dudian immediately stopped and turned back to Poland. He grabbed the arm of the old man who had his arm cut off and threw it into the hole in the glass tank.
The old man stayed on the spot. He picked up the arm and hoped that he could reattach it in the future.
The black substance immediately surged like an excited child as it fell into the glass tank. It squeaked as the liquid from its body rushed to the arm and quickly wrapped it up, the black beard that was wrapped around Dudian immediately pierced into the broken arm. The next moment, the skin on the surface of the broken arm quickly withered. The old arm became more withered. The color of the skin also became dull and dark spots appeared, it was like the hand of a dead body.
Dudian narrowed his eyes. ‘feeding on life?’? He seemed to have seen such a situation before.
