Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

Chapter 123 Underground Laboratory (6k)

Zhao Xun took a look at what he had become now.

A... monitor lizard.

He remembered that the Amphibian and Reptile House had been closed, which meant that no matter where he went this time, he could not find a suitable place for him to stay.

I don't know if hiding in the basement would be safer, or if hiding in the basement would be useless.

Forget it, that's it for now, let's solve the problem at hand first.

Zhao Xun was not in a hurry to leave. He rummaged around the cashier and finally found a special-looking key in the money box.

Then he opened the cabinet below and tried to open the safe with the key.

It worked.

He opened the safe and found a treasure box quietly inside.

He took out the treasure box and opened it. There was an unedged toy fruit knife inside.

His sixth sense was indeed correct, there really was a weapon here.

Zhao Xun put the toy fruit knife into the storage compartment, then put on [Goddess Wings] on himself and flew quickly towards the Ecological Education Center.

The Ecological Education Center has been closed, but the door has not been closed.

Zhao Xun successfully found the way to the basement according to the 3D map.

Keep walking in, and when you reach the end, you only see a bare wall.

There were no windows or lights here, and it was pitch black all around.

Zhao Xun took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight mode.

He shined a light on the wall and carefully observed every area. He soon discovered that there was a small area that looked smoother than other areas.

Like being touched often.

He stretched out his hand and tried to press it, and the small area sunk in according to the force.

Immediately afterwards, the front wall slowly moved to one side, revealing the stairs leading underground.

Zhao Xun walked down quickly.

When you reach the end of the stairs, a door appears.

Just like what Zhao Xun had seen on the 3D map before, there was a fingerprint lock on the door, and there was a groove beside the door. The outline of the groove looked like it was where primate silhouette stones were placed.

Zhao Xun took out all ten stones and compared them carefully, and finally determined that the stone with the silhouette of the orangutan best matched the outline of the groove.

He put the orangutan silhouette stone into the groove and heard a soft "click" sound before the door opened.

It seems that as long as you choose one of the fingerprint lock and the stone mechanism, you can open this door.

After opening the door, you directly saw the appearance of the basement.

Everything inside looks quite high-tech.

Zhao Xun first looked at the wall behind the door, and after confirming that there was a similar groove on the wall inside the house, he took out an ax and destroyed the fingerprint lock. Then he half-walked into the door and stretched out his upper body to touch the groove. The stone in the trough dug out the orangutan silhouette stone again.

As the stone was dug out, the door quickly closed.

Zhao Xun got into the house safely.

I'm not sure if I'll need the stone anywhere else once I get into the basement, it's definitely safer to have the stone with me.

If a predator came to the basement and took away or damaged his rocks, that would be the end.

Zhao Xun looked around, and he could already feel the large area of ​​​​the basement within his sight range.

Just from this first room, I already feel like I can’t see the end of it at a glance.

After entering the basement, no prompts appeared on the 3D map.

There is no route guidance, no text description, and no key clue location markers.

Obviously, the only way to destroy the entire zoo is to find it yourself.

Zhao Xun quickly walked to the right side and took a look at several rows of humanoid robots.

After getting closer, it was clear that there were words on each robot.

"Orangutan breeder", "Zebra breeder", "Golden monkey breeder" and so on.

Needless to say, these robots are the "breeders" mentioned by predators before.

No wonder trappers are skeptical about keepers giving ring-tailed lemurs blankets. It turns out that these so-called "keepers" are all robots, not humans.

The robot will only do things according to the program, without its own thinking, let alone sympathy.

Naturally, you won't mind that the autumn nights are a little cold. Giving the animals blankets will make them more comfortable.

But if the program sets a certain temperature that can be used to warm the animals, then the robot may also be able to provide blankets to the animals.

So the trapper at that time only suspected the origin of the blanket and was not sure.

Zhao Xun glanced around and saw several rows of robots on the other side. He looked closer and saw the titles "Cleaner" and "Experimental Assistant" written on them.

There is nothing else worthy of attention.

He walked quickly deeper into the basement.

There is a door at the end of this room, but it is not locked and opens when pushed.

After opening the door, there is a long corridor. From the 3D map, it can be seen that there are three rooms in it.

Two of the rooms cover a large area, making the remaining room look particularly small in comparison.

Zhao Xun walked to the first door and pushed it gently, and the door opened.

This is the largest room, much larger than the first room.

There are countless cylindrical glass jars placed in the room, each jar is two meters high and half a meter thick, filled with green liquid.

And in the liquid, there are various shapes of...animals.

Each animal can somewhat discern the general outline of a human being, but the characteristics of these animals are quite different from those of humans.

Some have sheep's horns, some have cow's tails, and some are covered with a layer of scales that resemble snake scales.

It looks like human beings have characteristics of other animals added to them, and each human being has more than one other animal added to it.

The things in these large glass jars seem to have been cultivated and matured, but they have not been awakened and are in a deep sleep state.

Continuing to walk inside, you can see some small jars half as tall as a person, with some baby monsters inside.

Walking further inside, you can see multiple iron shelves, each of which is filled with arm-sized glass jars, with completely shapeless pieces of meat placed in the glass jars.

Those predators seem to come from here.

However, no clues were found in this room that could lead to the destruction of the zoo.

Zhao Xun didn't stay any longer and immediately went to the second room.

This room is smaller, with countless bookshelves filled with various paper materials.

The side of the bookshelf only has the time marked on it, and it is unclear what the specific information is.

There was only an hour, so there was no time to read through the information.

Zhao Xun was not discouraged. He quickly walked around the entire room along the edge of the room, and finally found several computers in the innermost corner.

There was a noticeable groove on one of the computers.

Very familiar.

Zhao Xun took out ten stones, compared them, and finally put the stone with the silhouette of the golden monkey into the groove.

The computer turned on.

There is an [Experiment Log] notepad on the computer desktop.

Zhao Xun clicked on it and found that the directory and index were written at the beginning of the log.

He quickly read through the index.

I probably have an understanding in my heart.

This happy zoo is just a disguise, existing to cover up the underground laboratory.

Illegal experiments are conducted in the laboratory, using human embryos and injecting some genetic fragments from other animals into them to study the growth of the experimental subjects.

The purpose is to absorb the advantages of other animals and make humans more optimized and perfect.

Therefore, those "monsters" were not the result of experiments on human bodies, but were cultured from embryos.

There were many failures in the early stage, and all the experimental subjects died.

After several years of trying, at least one-third of the experimental subjects were finally able to survive to adulthood.

But for the experimenters, these experimental subjects were still failures, because they could not maintain normal human appearances, and even retained a large number of characteristics of other animals, and even became more wild and aggressive as a result.

Experimenters have been trying to find ways to improve it.

But before improvements could be made, the experimenters were killed by several rampaging monsters.

The last piece of the log should be the last words left by the dying experimenter.

Zhao Xun clicked on the details of that log and read the entire content.

More like a warning and a reminder than a last word.

After the experimenters died, there was no longer any human presence in the entire basement.

But because the entire laboratory is mainly run by robots and programs, those petri dishes can still support the monsters normally.

The cleaning robot will still clean everywhere every day.

So the basement looked spotless, no body of any experimenter was found, and no blood was seen anywhere. These were all the work of the "cleaners".

The robot as an "experimental assistant" will follow the original procedure and take the embryos out of the small jar after they have been cultured for one month and place them in the early childhood glass jar. After six months of infancy, take them out and place them in adult jars.

Without the experimenters, no more new monsters can be produced here, but the monsters that have been produced will be well taken care of by the robots.

If one day the electrical appliances in the basement completely deteriorate, all the robots will become useless because parts cannot be replaced.

Then those sleeping monsters will wake up and the harm they will cause to the outside world will be immeasurable.

At the end of the log, it reads: "So, if anyone can see this log, please destroy this basement. The specific method is in the control room, and my colleagues should have left some clues there."

Seeing this, Zhao Xun dug out the golden monkey silhouette stone and walked quickly towards the third room.

If he guessed correctly, the third room should be the control room.

That room was only over 100 square meters. Compared with several other rooms, it was like the gap between a square and a bathroom.

But an area of ​​more than 100 square meters is enough for a control room.

When Zhao Xun wanted to push open the door to the third room, he found that he couldn't.

He looked up carefully and found a groove at the top of the door.

With his current size of a giant lizard, the length including the tail is more than two meters. With the tail supporting the body and standing upright, his head can actually reach the groove.

The main reason is that the lizard's forelimbs are too short and cannot reach too high.

Zhao Xun missed his long arms a little.

After thinking about it, he compared the silhouette outlines, selected the baboon silhouette stone, rolled the stone with his tongue, aligned it with the groove, and pushed the stone in.

Fortunately, the lizard's tongue is long and flexible.

The door finally opened.

The inside is indeed the control room, with an entire wall covered with screens showing all the surveillance footage in the entire zoo.

On the other side, there is a control console two meters long and one meter wide, with various buttons and switches on it.

Zhao Xun soon saw two very conspicuous electric switches on the control panel. There were ten grooves around the two electric switches, forming a circle around the electric switches.

There is a label on each handle of the switch.

Zhao Xun took a closer look and saw "Animal Cage" written on the left and "Collapse" written on the right.

The handwriting was scrawled and messy, and Zhao Xun recognized it for a long time before he saw clearly these words.

Obviously the person who wrote these two labels was very nervous and hurried at the time, so he had no time to write a detailed explanation and could only make a brief summary.

Fortunately, it’s not difficult to understand.

The "collapse" on the right is obvious, and it should destroy the entire zoo. The zoo above has collapsed, and the underground laboratory below will naturally be destroyed.

Then the "animal cage" written on the left looks more like a way to protect animals.

After all, the hidden mission is to destroy the zoo without harming any animals. There is a switch to destroy the zoo on the control panel, and there should also be a switch to protect the animals next to it.

Regardless of whether it is as he guessed, he can only give it a try now.

He didn't have much time to hesitate.

The worst thing you can do is fail, and you won't get points for hidden missions and new special items.

Zhao Xun put the ten primate silhouette stones into the grooves one by one, and then pulled the switch on the left.

On the surveillance screen nearby, you can clearly see that the cages in several venues are open.

It turns out that these cages have hidden mechanisms. After pulling the switch, a certain part of the cage will open like a gate, revealing a square exit.

When the animals heard the noise, they all looked in the direction of the sound source. They were a little stunned when they found that there was a hole in the cage.

Then, some bold ones tried to get closer, and after they were sure they could get out, they ran out happily.

But some timid ones were afraid to move, and it took them a long time to try to move out.

Seeing those scenes, Zhao Xun knew that he could only wait until the next round to pull the "collapse" switch.

He has to make sure that all the animals escape from the zoo so that he destroys the zoo without harming any animals.

It's too early to turn off the switch now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun dug out the orangutan silhouette stone and looked at the monitoring screen.

After he made sure that the cages had not been re-closed because he took out the stones, he felt relieved.

Then he looked at the various buttons on the console, pressed a red button, held the microphone in one hand, and held the orangutan stone in the other.

"Orangutans, I have fulfilled my promise. My only request is that you find a way to lead other animals out of the zoo together within three hours."

After saying that, he changed to another baboon silhouette stone and repeated what he just said.

Next came the gibbon silhouette stone and the ring-tailed lemur silhouette stone.

There are basically no big barriers to communication among monkeys. Using a stone with a silhouette of one of the monkeys can make it clear to all the monkeys.

As for whether these primates were willing to help, and whether they could take away all the animals within three hours, Zhao Xun was not completely sure.

But this is the best he can do right now.

Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he will press the "collapse" button in the tenth round.

Just gamble, he is not afraid of losing.

Zhao Xun took out all the stones from the grooves and took back the storage compartment.

Then he looked carefully at the surveillance screens and found no sign of the predator.

It seems that these predators will not appear in the first hour, they just don’t know where they are.

Is it at the entrance of the zoo?

It's possible.

Zhao Xun took out his phone and looked at the time. There were five minutes left.

Being a giant lizard who couldn't stay in the closed amphibian reptile house, it didn't matter where he went now.

It's better to stay in the basement, closer to the control console, so it's easier to move later.

But he can't stay in the control room now. If a predator comes, it won't be good to start a fight in the control room.

The console cannot be destroyed.

Zhao Xun quickly walked out of the control room and closed the door again.

Then he walked into the reference room, climbed up to the top of the bookshelf, and lay down quietly.

It looks like a sculptural decoration on the top of a bookshelf.

Although he is now very large, it is not easy to spot him without looking up.

As long as you leave the room full of robots, you are no longer within the scope of the Ecological Education Center.

You can hide anywhere in the other three rooms.

In fact, if an animal is hiding in the data room, it is okay not to be discovered. Once discovered, the hunter will definitely suspect that it belongs to the player.

But there is no other way. If he hides in the laboratory, he is afraid that he will accidentally encounter something and release a few monsters, which will cause even more trouble.

It would be even worse if he encountered some unknown liquids and medicines that caused his body to become deformed.

So it's better to hide in the data room.

Five minutes passed quickly, and Zhao Xun immediately felt that his range of activities was restricted.

He couldn't leave the reference room.

But in the data room, he can move freely.

He lay on top of the bookshelf, thinking that if he still turned into an animal on the tenth round, he wouldn't have to turn off the switch in the first hour.

He can stay in the control room and wait longer. The animals will have more time to run away. In this way, the success rate after closing the gate will be higher.

By the way, the game rules of the main mission do not say that players must complete ten rounds to pass the level. This should also be a foreshadowing for the hidden mission.

In other words, if the hidden mission is not triggered, or if the hidden mission is triggered but gives up on doing the hidden mission, the player needs to go through ten rounds step by step to clear the game.

However, if the hidden mission is completed, players who have survived according to the main game rules before the hidden mission is completed can also pass the game.

Zhao Xun was thinking when he heard movement from outside.

He came to his senses immediately and was not surprised.

He had made a simple mechanism at the gate before. Once the door is opened, the mineral water bottle will eject, and the gravel inside will make a loud noise when it hits anything.

And what he heard should be this movement.

The data room is not soundproof, but it is far away from the door. The reason why we can hear such distant sounds is because the entire basement is too quiet and the walls act as echoes.

But when the sound reached here, it was already very soft.

Zhao Xun had previously used a radio to talk to the primates. The hunters would definitely be able to hear him even if they were actually staying at the gate of the zoo.

They knew very well that if they were able to use the loudspeaker, they must have gone to the underground laboratory.

So it's not surprising that a predator would come to the underground laboratory so quickly to look for someone.

Even if he breaks the fingerprint lock, the predator can break into the door violently, or they have other ways of opening the door.

I just don’t know how many people are coming.

He only has two weapons now. If there are too many predators, it will be a fierce battle.

Zhao Xun soon heard the sound of footsteps. Based on the frequency, he could tell there were two predators.

He frowned slightly.

It wasn't the number of predators that worried him, but...the footsteps were too fast.

It was like opening the door and walking straight in without even searching the robot's room.

Was it because he used the radio that the Predator decided to go to the control room first to see if he was still there?

As soon as Zhao Xun's thoughts came up, he heard the footsteps outside suddenly stopped.

Stopped outside the door of the information room.

Zhao Xun's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Something is wrong.

This is so unreasonable.

Either search room by room in the basement, or go to the control room to check first. Both of these options are logical.

But it would be too strange to just walk to the door of the reference room and stop.

The data room is a room in the middle section. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to give priority to searching here.

Unless...these predators determine that the player is hiding here.

The door to the data room was pushed open, and two predators walked in quickly.

Among the many bookshelves lined up, the two hunters walked to the bookshelf where Zhao Xun was sitting almost without looking away.

Now, Zhao Xun was 100% sure that the two predators knew exactly where the player was hiding.

So after entering the reference room, they didn't even search in two separate ways, nor did they check other bookshelves, but went straight to this bookshelf.

As if to confirm Zhao Xun's guess, one of the thin and small men raised his head.

The moment he met Zhao Xun's eyes, the man smiled excitedly: "I found you!"

His voice was high-pitched and sounded vaguely familiar.

His face is like a rooster, his beak is in the shape of a beak, with a little hook, and his hands and feet are like chicken feet, without wings, and all four limbs are claws.

The man next to the chicken monster also raised his head and looked at Zhao Xun, his voice hoarse: "You can come down by yourself and suffer less."

His face is like a duck, and his flat mouth is particularly eye-catching.

His body has nothing to do with a duck. The upper part is like a giraffe, the neck is twice as long as an ordinary person, and the lower part is like a horse's legs and hooves.
