Hardcore crisis

The progress bar of the copy had reached about 70%. Under Lu Yuan's control, the scalpel was always aimed at Karis's head, forcing him to stand still and not dare to move.

Lu Yuan waited quietly for the copy to end, watching the progress bar gradually enter the 90% level as time passed. Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was movement on the operating table.

"Ugh, vomit..."

Eddie, who had been anesthetized and had been unconscious all this time, suddenly started shaking all over, foaming at the mouth as if he was having an epilepsy, and rolled off the operating table in a few moments.

what happened?

Lu Yuan was shocked and quickly wrote on his tablet: "What happened?"

Watching the scalpel slowly levitating away, Karis knew that this was asking him to go over and take a look. He did not resist, and came to the shaking Eddie obediently, holding down his body and opening his eyelid.

"stress!"

Karis changed color.

"Stress? Stress reaction?" Lu Yuan frowned when he heard the word Karis blurted out.

"How could he have a stress reaction?" These words appeared on the tablet.

Karis' face was very ugly. He tried his best to suppress Eddie's body, and gasped: "It's a mixture of propylene and n-isobutane anesthetic gas... Certain people with special physiques are taking it." After taking NZT-48, if you inhale an excessive amount of anesthetic gas, it may stimulate the hypothalamus and cause the concentration of adrenocorticoids to rise rapidly in a short period of time. However, this probability is very small and has only happened accidentally in previous NZT tests. NZT-48 should not have this side effect."

"Is that just it?"

If it were just a stress reaction, it wouldn't cause much serious damage to the human body's physiology, but look at Karis's look. It doesn't seem that simple.

"Stress response is only a consequence, but it is only a factor. Due to NZT-48, in previous experimental examples, a chain reaction will occur, resulting in brain inflammation and other conditions..."

He took a deep breath: "The most serious one will be fatal, eh. A hundred percent fatality rate. No one has been able to survive this situation before."

Lu Yuan was horrified and resisted the urge to stab this guy: "Save him quickly, or you will die too."

"It's too late. Even if we give him a naloxone injection now, it's too late."

Karis defended: "The probability of this is very low. It has only happened in a few cases out of hundreds of cases in the past. You can't blame me for this."

Seeing Eddie's breathing gradually weakening, Lu Yuankong had the power to interfere with objects, but he was still helpless about the situation. He could only continue to force Karis: "Save him, or you die!"

To force Karis to die. This guy had no choice but to rescue Eddie with all his strength, but just as he moved Eddie onto the operating table, the whole room suddenly shook.

"Huh?" Karis raised his head warily.

"Rumble..."

The muffled sound seemed to come from the sky, but also seemed to come from the ground. Just a few blinks later, the laboratory equipment began to vibrate. The ceiling and glass walls creaked, and the things on the table squeaked and shook.

"earthquake!"

Karis shouted in surprise, as if he was talking to himself and explaining to Lu Yuan.

How could an earthquake happen at this time? Are you kidding me?

The shaking in the room became more intense. It didn't look like a small earthquake that would stop after a while. Instead, it looked like a magnitude 8 earthquake was about to erupt. Karis was so shaken that it was difficult to stand firm on the ground.

No, it’s a really big earthquake!

"Crack!"

The glass walls around the laboratory suddenly burst open, and large pieces of glass shards were scattered all over the floor. The equipment on the table also continued to fall to the ground during the vibration, making it look like the basement was about to collapse.

"No, I have to go up quickly. If I continue to stay here, I will die!"

Karis, who was more than forty years younger, was reluctant to leave his life here, but he did not dare to leave without permission, just because the scalpel was still pointed at his forehead.

Lu Yuan saw that the situation was indeed urgent. Maybe if he didn't leave, the basement would really collapse. He had no choice but to write on the tablet: "Take him with you."

With Lu Yuan's permission, even if you have to carry one person, it is better than waiting to die here, but the information here...

Carrying Eddie on his back, Karis looked back and was shocked to find that the mobile hard drive that was still transferring data had disappeared. Only the 100% progress bar on the screen was still reminding him of the copy. Has been completed.

Information… information.

No matter how important the data was, it was not more important than his own life, not to mention that the key data existed in his mind. It was just a matter of spending more time. But if his life is gone, no amount of information will be of any use to him.

At the critical moment, Karis did not hesitate anymore and ran towards the exit stairs with Eddie on his back.

By the time we got out of the basement, the shaking had evolved to a level as terrifying as a real eight-magnitude earthquake. Many things in the room fell down, and the chandeliers on the ceiling couldn't hold up, and they suddenly fell into pieces on the ground.

The old house kept making unpleasant creaking sounds, the walls began to crack everywhere, and even the floor beneath his feet was unable to lift. Karis was almost injured by the bouncing wooden boards without paying attention.

"my God!"

Stumbling and running out of the gate with Eddie on his back, Karis still didn't dare to stop. He continued running for a few dozen meters when he heard a loud bang behind him. When he turned around, this decades-old house was like a collapsed building block. It collapsed into ruins amid the explosion.

But if it were just like this, that would be really great.

Karis's eyes widened. He was too frightened to carry Eddie behind him anymore, and let him fall to the ground from behind, regardless of the intimidation from Lu Yuan.

There was no way, right in front of his eyes, a crack appeared on the ground of the entire farm with a width of about twenty to thirty meters, and it stretched endlessly, coming from the end of the horizon in the distance, across the farm to the distant place more than ten kilometers away. boundary.

What kind of earthquake is this?

Eighth grade?

NO! A magnitude 8 earthquake cannot reach this level.

Rumble…

The dull sound seemed to be louder, and the violent shaking of the ground was definitely something Karis had never experienced before. He staggered and lowered his body as much as possible to maintain balance. Seeing that the crack was still expanding, his pupils shrank into needle shapes. .

Definitely can't stay here again!

Putting Eddie on his back again, Karis walked hard towards his car, put Eddie into the back seat, got into the driver's seat, inserted the key and turned it, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the road outside the farm. go.

Driving under such violent ground vibrations is not an easy task. It is only because Karis' body and nerve reaction speed are faster than ordinary people that he can steadily control the car without losing balance.

In addition to his farm, the other farm owners were obviously frightened by the sudden earthquake. Many people rushed out of their houses, yelling and cursing as they watched their houses collapse. Some smart people rolled on the ground and rushed into the garage to drive their cars out, while more farmers were still lying on the ground, waiting for the earthquake to pass.

But the disaster that followed far exceeded everyone's imagination.

That rift was not the end.

But start!

Amidst the dull roar, Karis was horrified to see in the rearview mirror, hundreds of meters behind him, smoke and dust rolled up like thousands of horses galloping, and countless huge cracks spread rapidly like spider webs. It opened up and greedily devoured everything it could, whether it was people, animals or houses, all disappearing without a trace under such an irresistible sinkhole.

"fu.ck, fu.ck..."

Holding the steering wheel tightly, Karis accelerated with all his strength. The cold sweat on his forehead almost soaked his clothes, and he didn't even notice.

This is nothing comparable to an eight-magnitude earthquake. It is a natural disaster-level earthquake of magnitude nine or above!

Not to mention Karis, Lu Yuan had a broader vision than him, and was also shocked by this horrific and extraordinary disaster. How could such a large earthquake suddenly occur?

Logically speaking, New York is not in an earthquake zone, so such a strong earthquake should not occur!

Could it be...

Suddenly, Lu Yuan thought of a possibility. (To be continued ~^~)
