Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Chapter 162 Breaking the ice out

Research station.

The freezer room on the first floor of the laboratory building.

In the center is the ice cube that almost killed the exploration team, with the 'biological sample' frozen inside.

(picture)

Many researchers in down jackets gathered here, all looking at the ice cube with serious faces, as if trying to guess what the creature was from its appearance.

Of course, Rebecca, a hidden employee of Umbrella and an expert in chemistry and biology, is also here.

They could only see the faint outlines of the creatures in the ice cubes, but not the whole picture.

However, just by looking at it, you can see that this creature is huge and has many claws, bones, tentacles and limbs.

Gives a shivering feeling.

As for the director of the research station, Dr. Sander, with his hands behind his back, he looked at the ice cube and said softly to the researchers, "Everyone.

This is some kind of creature that the exploration team risked their lives to excavate. Can anyone tell me what species it is? "

"." The researchers remained silent at first.

Several seconds passed.

A researcher supported his right elbow with his left hand and frowned while rubbing his stubble with his right hand: "From the general appearance, it looks like an arthropod, but..."

At the end, the researcher hesitated, but did not say the rest.

"But it's not left-right symmetrical, or radially symmetrical."

At this time, Rebecca took over the conversation, and then she walked around the ice cube and continued to say to everyone:

"Animals on land are almost always symmetrical in appearance, and we humans are the best example.

As for radial symmetry, most live in the ocean, such as starfish, and most asymmetric animals also come from the ocean..."

Having said this, Rebecca pointed to the ice cube and looked at Sander and said solemnly: "It is obviously an asymmetrical animal, but it has many characteristics of terrestrial animals."

Then she folded her hands on her chest, shook her head slightly, and said, "The species in the ice cubes... very strange."

"Why don't we take a slice of tissue?" another researcher suggested.

"It does." Sander seemed to agree.

"No." Rebecca immediately vetoed: "Doctor, we can't be sure about its condition, what if it contains some kind of virus in its body?"

"Um..." Sandy was a little confused.

But in the end, he shook his head and said, "The original intention of our scientific research station was to study the strange creatures under the Antarctic ice sheet.

Besides, we also have a lot of good equipment. If we can't even take out samples for analysis, what's the point of building this research station? "

After hearing the supervisor's words, other researchers with a scientific research mentality also nodded.

Seeing this, Rebecca's face sank, and she did not continue to speak.

She knew that she was looking at the ice creatures from the perspective of Umbrella's employees, after all, there might be anomalies in there.

But other researchers, including Sander, are 'fanatical' scientists seeking the truth.

It was hard to unearth a unique creature, and the scientific research station also has the top research equipment. Of course, it is necessary to take out samples to analyze the sacredness of the creatures in the ice.

But special things should be managed by more professional and efficient 'departments'.

Since she can't persuade her with good words, she will stop wasting her words and plan to notify the company to send hell paratroopers to collect the ice directly.

"Om-"

When most of the people agreed to take out the prototype and study, the lights in the freezer suddenly flashed a few times, then dimmed for a few seconds before returning to normal.

Immediately afterwards, everyone felt that the experimental building was shaking slightly.

It seems.

This blizzard is a little too bad.

But the director of Sand didn't care, instead he waved his hand, turned and walked out.

Said: "Everyone, prepare disinfection equipment, protective clothing and other equipment first, and take samples after half an hour."

"Yes, Director." All the researchers also left here.

Rebecca, who followed at the end, stopped beside the sliding door, shook her head, and stared at the unknown creature in the ice for a few seconds before walking away.

"Shuh-" The sliding door also closed.

The lighting in the freezer automatically stopped working, and although there were still several dim red lights working, it was still dark and unusually dark.

——————

In the passage of the scientific research station;

Rebecca, who was holding the down jacket in her arms, was rushing to her bedroom, preparing to report the situation to Serena.

As soon as she walked around the corner, Rebecca saw Li Mu, with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the door of her bedroom.

"Li Mu!" Rebecca trotted beside Li Mu and hurriedly said, "Among the ice cubes brought back by the exploration team, I think there are..."

"I know." Li Mu interrupted Rebecca's words, and his expression was more serious than ever.

Shen said: "But the research station has lost the network and communication."

"What?" Rebecca frowned as well: "Could it be caused by Blizzard?"

"right."

As he said that, Li Mu also pointed to Rebecca's bedroom, indicating that she had better go first.

"Well." Rebecca immediately understood the meaning of the other party.

Enter the password to open the door, lead Li Mu into her bedroom and close the door, throw the down jacket on the bed and say:

"Li Mu, are we really unable to contact Serena or the Spirit of Fire?"

Li Mu shook his head.

He pointed out the bedroom window and said softly: "Unless there is a telegram, we will all be in a state of isolation until the blizzard is over.

(staring at Rebecca) Also, while you were researching that creature, I asked the people who helped the exploration team.

In fact, when they were routinely exploring outside, they received some kind of signal and went to the source of the signal.

In addition to finding the frozen creature, they also found some kind of large... 'artificial building' buried in ice and snow. "

"Architecture?" Rebecca exclaimed.

After all, man-made structures can be found in Antarctica, which is definitely an anomaly in Umbrella's eyes, not to mention the discovery of some unknown creature nearby.

Immediately after.

"Li Mu..."

Rebecca tried to ask Li Mu: "Sand wants to take out a tissue sample of that creature, if it's an abnormal phenomenon, I'm not sure if it's really dead.

But most of the people in the research station are mainly Sanders, and those security guards are also armed with guns, how can we stop them..."

"It's not difficult." Li Mu twisted his neck and moved his arms, ready to leave here and told her:

"Rebecca, don't reveal your identity for now, I can take control of this place by myself."

"This... don't you need my help?" Rebecca asked with a little worry.

"No, you are a talent that the doctor is concerned about, and you can't make any mistakes." Li Mu quietly refused.

"Di-di-!"

However, at this moment, a harsh alarm sounded throughout the scientific research station, and a panicked reminder from a security guard:

"The creature in the freezer broke the ice!"
