Paranormal incident investigation notes
Chapter 281 Ceremony
Power supply is a top priority for a base. Although this base is temporary at the moment, the power supply also has several backups. If one line is cut off, it will automatically switch to another line immediately. Even if all the lines fail, the base itself has emergency backup power supply, so that the power supply will not be completely lost.
But at this moment, this situation really appeared in front of Lu Ming.
At this moment, Lu Ming's brain even froze because it was too sudden. It took him a moment to react. Then a thought flashed through my mind instantly.
"The monsters' plan is about to begin!"
Things are so weird at this moment that no one would believe that there is no human factor in it. In this case, it can only be that there is a being who intentionally does it in order to achieve a certain purpose. Combined with the previous intention of the monsters to leave Experimental Subject No. 1 in human hands, the final answer is already ready to come out.
No matter what the ultimate goal of the monsters is or what they want to achieve, in short, they have already started!
Lu Ming's whole body tensed up, and he rushed towards the core of the base, where Experimental Subject No. 1 was held, as if by reflex.
In this dark, moonless night, panicked shouts were everywhere in the base. Wearing white coats and undertaking research tasks, experts from various disciplines were running around like headless flies, roaring, as if they were in some fatal danger. The guards guarding this base did not panic at all.
They yelled loudly, asking all the experts to return to their rooms, and allocated manpower in an orderly manner. Some were responsible for inspections, some were responsible for troubleshooting, some were responsible for personal protection of the experts, and some were responsible for martial law throughout the entire process. base. Most of them made the same choice as Lu Ming and rushed towards the core of the base.
Seeing that the quality of the guards was so high, even though the incident suddenly occurred, they were handled securely. In addition, Lu Ming saw that there were some retreat signs on in the base, and some key core facilities were still in operation - this It means that the base's own backup power supply has not actually been cut off, but that some external equipment has been cut off due to low priority, and I gradually feel calmer.
Without public lighting, countless bright flashlights lit up and swayed in the dark night. Through the light, Lu Ming saw the figure of a security guard. He went over and shouted, and the person in charge immediately saluted Lu Ming with a sonorous and powerful voice: "Report to Sergeant Lu, the first team has set off to troubleshoot the fault, the second team is responsible for protecting the scientific research experts, and the third to seventh teams have gone to enrich the knowledge." The external defense force is currently loaded with live ammunition and on full alert. Teams 8 to 12 go to the core of the base, and teams 13 to 15 are on standby!"
"Well done! Next, there may be monsters attacking the base from outside. Once traces of monsters are found, I authorize you to kill them without mercy! Also, call for support immediately!"
"yes!"
"Give me the flashlight!"
The person in charge gave the flashlight to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming hurried towards the core of the base.
On the way, he met He Wei and Zhang Dingshan. At this moment, both of them looked solemn and made the same decision as Lu Ming.
Rush to the core of the base first. No matter what, we must make sure that nothing happens to Experimental Subject No. 1. As for the impact from the outside, even if the individual monsters are powerful, none of the three people believe that they can break through the base's defense line.
The core area of the base is the area with the highest priority for power supply. At this moment, the lights are still bright here. After rushing to the isolation ward with the guards of the brigade, Lu Ming immediately saw through the layer of tempered glass that Experiment No. 1, which was firmly fixed on the hospital bed with special fibers, was about to die at this moment. Break free.
Six of the eight ropes holding it in place have been severed by it at this moment. As long as the two ropes holding its legs are cut off, it can escape completely.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.
Doesn't it have the ability to cut this special fiber rope? In the past, it had never been able to resist at all when it was fixed by this kind of rope! Why can it cut it open now?
There is only one explanation. That is, in the past, it deliberately hid its abilities, deliberately making people think that it could not cut open, and then it has been dormant until today. It was not until the monsters' plan was launched that it escaped in one fell swoop!
Zhang Dingshan shouted: "Everyone is on alert! Get out of the room!"
The guards raised their guns and exited the room in an orderly manner. After that, the thick steel gate blocked it.
"Once Experimental Subject No. 1 breaks out of this room, kill him immediately!"
"yes!"
This heavy metal room is the final bottom line in Zhang Dingshan's heart. He could tolerate Experimental Subject No. 1 breaking free from his restraints and even breaking the tempered glass, but he could not tolerate Experimental Subject No. 1 leaving the room uncontrollably.
Once that happens, no matter how precious this experimental subject is and how high its research value is, we will not care about it. We must kill it first.
Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei hurried to the monitoring room and continued to monitor the movements of Experimental Subject No. 1.
In just this moment, Lu Ming saw that it had completely escaped from the trap and walked down from the hospital bed.
What will it do next? Breaking tempered glass? Or just try to destroy the steel wall and escape?
Lu Ming thought quickly in his mind. But what happened a moment later made Lu Ming startled again, and he couldn't react in his head.
After escaping from the trap, Experimental Subject No. 1 not only did not destroy the room it was in, but instead raised the bone knife that served as an arm and stabbed directly into its little triangular head.
It let out a howl full of pain and evil, which chilled people's hearts. The next moment, the bone knife was pulled out, and there was a small dark sphere on the end.
That's its eyeball.
"It's hurting itself? It's gouging out its own eyes? What is it going to do?"
He Wei murmured subconsciously.
The next moment, Lu Ming saw Experimental Subject No. 1 gently placing his eyeballs on the ground. Then, next to the eyeball, its knees bent, its arms rested on the ground, its small head drooped, and it knelt on the ground, just like the kneeling posture of human beings.
It seemed to be kneeling down to worship the eyeball that had just been dug out of its own body.
Lu Ming had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He didn't know what Experimental Subject No. 1 was doing. He didn't know whether what it was doing at this moment was related to the power outage in the base, or whether it was related to the monsters' plans and purposes. But he knew in his heart that this was definitely not a good thing for himself.
Maybe we should stop it? But will your own obstruction make things worse? At least, it doesn't look like a threat at this moment.
Lu Ming's mind was spinning, and millions of thoughts flashed through his head.
Experiment No. 1 suddenly let out a howl at this moment. This howl was like a prelude, followed by a series of rapid, fast, high-pitched but vague syllables.
Lu Ming never knew that this kind of monster could pronounce so many different syllables. In the past, not only Lu Ming, but also experts from various disciplines thought that this kind of monster could only make a limited number of sounds. Judging from the complexity of these syllables at this moment, the pronunciation they can master may even be as good as humans.
There seemed to be some weird rhythm in the syllables, and it sounded slightly similar to the incantations and scriptures that Lu Ming had heard in some religious occasions.
The high-pitched and loud syllables echoed in the monitoring room, stirring people's minds. Lu Ming wanted to do something, but after weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to wait and see.
He believes that there really is some kind of special mechanism in this world that can allow Experimental Subject No. 1 to go through some kind of sacrificial ritual, and the probability of causing any consequences in the real world cannot be said to be absolute. It doesn't exist, but it must be small.
Compared with this possibility, he still believes that threats from the outside are more worthy of attention.
First, one's own external power supply is cut off, which must be a prelude to some changes. And this prelude can never just lead to the weird ceremony in front of him.
A power outage causes chaos, and then the monsters from outside take advantage of the chaos to attack. This is the most likely thing to happen.
If there were no accidents, at this moment, at the edge of the base, the guards who were on full alert should have discovered the traces of those monsters, and the two sides had even exchanged fire.
Maybe the changes happening in the core area of the base at this moment, maybe the weird behavior of Experiment No. 1, are just to divert our attention and distract our troops, so as to create conditions for external monsters to attack the base.
He took out the communicator and asked the person in charge: "How is the situation at the edge of the base?"
"Report to Sergeant Lu, everything is normal at the edge of the base! We are on tight alert, but so far, no abnormalities have been found!"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.
how could this be?
The monsters cut off the external power supply of the base with great fanfare, causing a certain amount of chaos. In the core area of the base, the No. 1 Experimental Subject acted like magic again, forcing our side to disperse a considerable portion of its troops to stay here, but nothing happened?
Thunder, little rain?
No, it's impossible. There must be something I've overlooked somewhere. It must be...
Lu Ming thought quickly.
If, if the power outage and the weird behavior of Experiment No. 1 are just appearances, they are just disguises for the monsters' real plan, then...
The real goal of the monsters must be their own base. This can't be wrong. But if they don't use forceful attacks, how else can they extend from the outside to the inside of the base?
Several characters flashed in Lu Ming's mind instantly.
Water, fire, light, air, sound, earthquakes, airplanes, missiles.
These eight existences are means that can directly affect the inside of the base from outside the base.
First is water. However, there are not enough water sources around the base, such as reservoirs. So water can be eliminated.
Fire can also be excluded. In terms of light, it is possible to think of the star map that can cause people to go crazy and eventually mutate just by looking at it. However, the transmission of light is easily blocked. There are many people indoors and cannot see the changes in light outside at all. So light can also be excluded.
In terms of sound, how loud can it travel so far? Or do you want to use your voice to shock yourself to death? This is too ridiculous.
As for earthquakes, Lu Ming didn't think monsters had the ability to cause earthquakes.
As for aircraft, missiles, and various long-range offensive weapons, Lu Ming also did not think that they had this capability.
After eliminating one item after another, the last word appeared in Lu Ming's mind.
gas.
Lu Ming's pupils tightened.
Could it be poison gas?
Lu Ming remembered that biologists had said that theoretically, this monster's body had the ability to secrete a certain type of highly toxic nerve agent. The nerve agent can evaporate quickly and can easily form poisonous gas.
Of course, it's just a possibility.
Could it be that the chaos caused by the power outage and the pretentiousness of Experiment No. 1 are just appearances. The real plan of the monsters is to rely on the release of poisonous gas outside the base to cause damage to the personnel inside the base?
The flow of gas can spread to every corner of the base.
Lu Ming took out his mobile phone and quickly opened the weather forecast. He saw that the real-time weather at this moment showed that the wind direction at this moment was southeasterly and the wind speed was one to two.
It's indeed poisonous gas!
Lu Ming immediately made a judgment in his mind. Because if the wind speed is too high, the poisonous gas will easily be blown away, preventing it from forming a sufficient concentration to affect the human body. If there is no wind at all, the poisonous gas cannot spread in a certain direction.
The current weather conditions are perfect for spreading poisonous gas. Lu Ming didn't believe this was a coincidence.
"Captain! I doubt the monsters will release poison gas on us!"
Lu Ming quickly recounted his guesses and judgments, and Zhang Dingshan and He Wei immediately looked solemn.
Zhang Dingshan immediately took out the communicator, as if he wanted to give some order, but within a moment, he moved the communicator away.
He shook his head: "We cannot order gas masks and isolation suits."
Lu Ming was startled and then realized this problem.
At this moment, almost no one in the base is equipped with gas masks and isolation suits. These materials were stored in a unified manner, but now people are scattered throughout the base, sticking to their posts.
Once an order is given to wear isolation suits and equip gas masks, if the time requirement is too tight, it will easily cause confusion and lead to loopholes in the defense line. Maybe by that time, the monsters will really rush in.
However, if the time requirement is not tight and people are required to go back in batches to collect gas masks and isolation gowns, or assign special personnel to deliver them, wearing them in batches will take too long and cannot be completed in less than an hour. After such a long time, the poisonous gas was already here.
Lu Ming was horrified to realize that he had unknowingly fallen into a dilemma.
At the critical moment, He Wei gritted her teeth and said: "In that case, let's find a way to prevent the monsters from releasing poisonous gas!"
