Simulation: Starting From Strange Creatures

Chapter 290 Locked State

"So hot!"

 This was Zhao Meng’s first feeling when he entered the red ball of light.

Immediately afterwards, he felt an indescribable touch. This touch was soft and comfortable, making Zhao Meng's thoughts wander.

"This is..." Zhao Meng was surprised to find that he was not uttering random thoughts. He was in an extremely strange state at this time.

"how so!"

 However, as the temperature further increased, the comfort gradually turned into pain.

If it weren't for the Phoenix Feathers of the Phoenix Girl clan still protecting him, Zhao Meng would have been burned by the unbearable high temperature at this time.

 In the excitement of this comfort and heat, Zhao Meng's consciousness gradually fell into a trance.

 At a certain moment, he suddenly woke up and found that he had arrived in the shadow space.

Looking at the huge phantom with a human head and a snake's tail, Zhao Meng was stunned again and again.

Because he noticed that the phantom was no longer the cold and formless phantom. It seemed that because he had broken into the light ball of the Huang Nu clan, the phantom also had some inexplicable warmth at this time.

At this moment, Zhao Meng noticed that there was a light ball shining with some kind of light under the shadow.

 The light caught Zhao Meng's eyes and reminded him of something.

 “It’s that unfinished simulation!”

Zhao Meng clearly remembered that this simulation was a white mouse for a collision experiment. It was from this white mouse that Zhao Meng learned some of the nature of fairy strings.

Unfortunately, even if he knew the nature of Xianxian, it would not be of much help to his current situation.

“Does the ghost want me to enter the simulation again?

Zhao Meng raised his head and glanced at the shadow. The shadow's face was still blurry and no features could be seen.

“What’s the situation outside?”

 “My body is really...”

 “Why did my consciousness enter here on its own initiative?”

The feeling of the light ball that penetrated just now was very strange and blurry, and Zhao Meng was unable to determine his physical condition.

 “Can you leave?”

Zhao Meng's heart moved, and his consciousness slowly disappeared.

But just a moment later, the shadow representing Zhao Meng suddenly appeared in the shadow space.

However, Zhao Meng's demeanor was not so calm this time. He was breathing heavily as if he had suffered something unbearable.

If his body was still here, he would probably be red in the face, ears red, and blood gushing.

 “What’s going on outside?”

 “Are you trying to seize the seed of God?”

“That Huang girl seems to be in some kind of out-of-control state, and her behavior is closer to instinct!”

Zhao Meng wanted to recall the scene outside.

But in his consciousness there were only the high-temperature flames blocking his sight, and perhaps some traces of movement left on his body, indicating the horror of the situation outside.

“What’s even more troublesome is that in that locked state, we may lose control at any time.”

Zhao Meng didn’t know why he became like this, but he had a hunch in his heart that due to the huge gap in cultivation, if he didn’t break free as soon as possible, he would

I'm afraid I will be burned by this guy who is smoldering with fire.

Zhao Meng, who calmed down a little, looked at the shining light ball, and his conscious body came to the light ball.

 “Looks like I’m going to continue to simulate the guinea pig!”

As a representative of rodents, mice have extremely strong survival ability. From a molecular biology perspective, mice may even be the first mammals on the earth.

If a nuclear crisis or other annihilation crisis breaks out on the earth one day, then the little mouse is likely to be one of the few survivors.

 “Hope to get some entries that can escape the lock from this”

Zhao Meng touched the light ball, and his consciousness was in a trance. In the trance, he seemed to see busy stray dogs in spring.

 Sometimes if you pay close attention, you will find that stray dogs will be locked in order to give birth to offspring.

 …

 Zhao Meng's consciousness woke up again, and it was the familiar insulation warehouse again.

　　Familiar words also appeared in front of Zhao Meng.

  【In the first week, you were born and you became a guinea pig. 】

 …

 A few days later, Zhao Meng regained normal vision. He looked at the busy scientific researchers around him.

 I also recall all the questions about the simulated dilemma of the mice.

 Compared with the free state in other simulations, although he has human support at this time, he does not need to worry about any danger.

 But as a result, freedom is lost, and even the freedom to choose objects is lost.

“Based on the previous simulations, there are probably two endings for me.”

 “A kind of hard performance to make oneself a qualified experimental subject.”

“But this path cannot be chosen. During the process of being sent to the collider, it will gradually be isolated from other mice, and even the simulation of important breeding nodes cannot be completed!”

  “In order to understand Xianxian, I chose this path before.”

“This road cannot be chosen this time. The only other choice is to escape from here.”

 The thought of escaping brought back some memories of Zhao Meng.

After becoming a guinea pig, he had not thought about escaping, but this experimental base was filled with a large number of monitoring equipment, and there seemed to be extremely strict management regulations for their biological materials.

 Once something is lost, a large number of people will immediately appear to search for it.

After being caught, they were sent to the crusher together with the unsuccessful mice.

Thinking of the crusher, an uncontrollable chill appeared on Zhao Meng's body even though he was in the insulated warehouse.

 “I have no choice but to run away!”

  【In the first month, you were fed by humans and your body became fat】

 “A little fat!”

This time Zhao Meng did not control his weight because he wanted to participate in the experiment, but began to lie down flat.

Not to mention, once you start eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating, your life will start to become carefree.

Just as Zhao Meng was sleeping on his stomach, a hand with rubber gloves lifted him up.

Then Zhao Meng saw a man shaking his head gently and making a certain sign for him.

“It seems that lying down has caused dissatisfaction among humans and will be sent outside to be crushed.”

Thinking of this, Zhao Meng was shocked. He carefully recalled the process of sending them out to be crushed. He found that there were not many opportunities to escape.

This collision laboratory is underground.

As a high-precision experimental equipment, rats will not be allowed to run around in the underground laboratory, so the underground is definitely not a safe hiding place.

 Fortunately, he will be sent to the ground. There is a long distance from the elevator exit to the location of the crusher. That will be one of the few opportunities for him to escape.

 He remembered that there were weeds and soil there, and even though there was a high wall in the distance, as a mouse, once it fell into the soil, it would be like a fish entering the sea.

 At this time, the human hand put Zhao Meng into another basket.

Humans continued to select other unqualified mice and put them into the basket. After a while, the basket was filled.

 As the lid was closed, the basket became dark.

At this time, Zhao Meng climbed to the edge of the basket, revealing the rodent's representative front teeth.

 He tried it and found that he could bite the basket.

But unfortunately, there is a transparent acrylic plastic plate outside the basket as an outer layer of protection. Even if he bites through the frame, he will not be able to escape.

At this time, Zhao Meng looked up again. He stepped on his own kind and came to the edge above. There was an inconspicuous protrusion here.

This box is a buckle box. If he can destroy the buckle position, there is no chance of escaping. Thinking of this, Zhao Meng tried to bite open the protrusion.

I don’t know how long it took, but this protrusion was partially damaged by Zhao Meng, and he could feel the cover becoming loose for a while.

 But at this moment, Zhao Meng felt that the moving box suddenly stopped.

 Then there was a sound of a motor turning from the side, followed by a roar, and some kind of large machinery was turned on.

 The box tilted and turned, and the lid that Zhao Meng had been trying to open suddenly opened.

  Unfortunately, what appeared below was not the land and weeds that Zhao Meng wanted but the rapidly rotating blades.

 “Oh! It’s too slow!”

 …

  【In the first week, you were born and you became a guinea pig. 】

 “You can’t lie completely flat!”

 With the experience of failure last time, Zhao Meng began to work hard in one direction this time.

 The direction of efforts is his teeth.

 As rodents, their teeth are their weapons.

 Survive

 …

  【In the first month, you seem to particularly enjoy biting things, and your biting muscles have become more developed. 】

At this time, Zhao Meng had just bitten a sensor that was used for some purpose.

As the sensor failed, Zhao Meng seemed to hear a human roar, and saw a huge figure appearing in front of the insulation warehouse.

 A hand that was not completely covered with rubber gloves penetrated deep into the insulation cabin here. Zhao Meng felt that he seemed to be grasped by a strong hand.

 He had a feeling of suffocation, and from this suffocation, he felt the anger of the visitor.

 Perhaps by destroying an unknown sensor, he damaged a certain doctor's important scientific research equipment, affecting the progress of his thesis.

 But so what, he just wants to escape from here and get a way to unlock it.

"etc!"

 In the dizziness caused by suffocation, he thought about how he had chewed something repeatedly during the past month.

 A terrible thought suddenly appeared in his consciousness,

“You can’t just bite it off and get out of the locked state!”

Just when Zhao Meng was confused and thinking, it seemed that other humans came over to stop this human from trying to crush him to death.

 Zhao Meng was thrown into another basket to be dealt with,

 The feeling of suffocation was gone. As oxygen was supplied to the brain again, Zhao Meng's consciousness returned to normal levels.

Zhao Meng gently shook his head when he thought of the outrageous idea that had just appeared in his mind.

 “What am I thinking about?”

 “How could such a method be used in that kind of lockdown!”

 …

Zhao Meng muttered and continued to observe the surrounding environment, just like last time.

 A large number of unqualified mice were placed in this basket.

Most of these white mice are very weak, or they are born with some kind of disability. In short, only Zhao Meng is a normal mouse among them.

 Only he has the chance to escape.

He stepped on the same kind and came to the buckle above again, and started biting, this time the biting speed was much faster.

 …

"opened!"

Just when Zhao Meng opened a gap,

 The movement of the box just stopped.

Zhao Meng could feel a pair of hands on the box, trying to lift it up.

　　The broken buckle may cause the lid to lose its locking point.

With a muffled sound, one side of the lid separated from the box. The box containing a large number of mice fell to the ground due to the force of gravity.

With an exclamation, the mice scattered all over the floor:

 “Escape!”

Zhao Meng took a moment to observe the surrounding situation and headed out the door.

At this moment, he heard a strange cry and kicked a foot towards where he was.

Seeing that the foot was about to step on him, Zhao Meng jumped deeply and landed near the instep.

This turned the kick into a kick.

Zhao Meng was kicked out, and in a sudden spin, Zhao Meng felt himself rolling down into the grass.

 He didn’t care whether he was injured or not, and fled deeper into the grass.

 …

 “Escaped!”

It took a long time for Zhao Meng to calm down.

 The rapidly beating heart has not yet completely calmed down. Zhao Meng observed the surrounding environment.

This is the experimental laboratory above the collision base. Fortunately, the greening in this laboratory is very good, and Zhao Meng has a hiding place.

 “Still, I’m not safe yet.”

Zhao Meng saw a high wall through the grass. The high wall was filled with surveillance cameras, which seemed to protect the base. This also became an obstacle to his final freedom.

 Fortunately, Zhao Meng is a mouse, not a human, and his physical target is not obvious. He still has a lot of chances to escape.

 …

Zhao Meng has been hiding deep in the grass and has not left without authorization. He is waiting for night to fall.

As a guinea pig, he has another huge problem, and that is the color of his fur.

  The mouse in its natural state is inconspicuously gray.

 Even so, mice will still be spotted by birds of prey in the sky and hunted by predators on the ground.

 And his white hair is almost seeking death during the day,

 Even at night, he is not safe,

 At night, there is an owl that is even more terrifying, with eyes that almost take up the entire face, always staring at the mice on the ground.

What’s even more shocking is that the owl makes no sound when it flies, and you may not even know how it died.

 Luckily, Zhao Meng had experienced various animal simulations and was well prepared for the harsh conditions under natural conditions.

The sky was getting dark, and he did not go to an open place to act recklessly. Instead, he walked carefully along the base of the wall.

 “There should be drainage pipes!”

 “Follow the pipe and you can get out of here.”

"found it!"

Zhao Meng got into a slightly smelly pipe. Along the pipe, he entered an underground drainage system full of sewage. He followed the water in one direction.

 The dirt around him unknowingly dyed his fur black,

Zhao Meng didn't care about this, and even said that it was in line with his intention, and that the change in coat color was more conducive to his disguise.

Zhao Meng walked along the pipe and entered a more complex area. He heard a squeaking sound and found his own kind.

In the underground drainage system, it is a safe place to avoid most natural enemies, and it is also a place where rodents breed.
