Chapter 47: The bone gnaorms
Mo Ye was on a corner of the table He lowered his head to sniff the plate in front of Zhou Yu Then he raised his paw to hold a spoon and bring it to Zhou Yu
“Does Mo Ye think there's no problem with the food?” Wu Yun asked
“Yes” Zhou Yu nodded and leaned down to eat the spoonful of food When the others saw it, they began to lift their chopsticks to eat, too
“shi+t, why does it taste like so poured out of a can then mashed into pulp?” Wu Yun shook his head “Isn't there a cook in the observation station?”
Gradually, voices started to grow louder around thee atuely feel
He kicked Wu Yun under the table
“Can you tell hed, then whispered, “Don't you find Professor Lu's reactions strange? Professor Lu is a researcher Any researcher here should be very surprised and curious to see Mo Ye, like Dr Carlos Even if they were afraid of an A rank organislances at him But Professor Lu isn't like that It's like he's afraid of being seen through by Mo Ye”
“I'm a botanist like Professor Lu But when Professor Lu saw s or any research discoveries with me, as if he didn't knowsaid
“And even if they did go outside for sa purposes, how could he send outthe observation station? Doesn't Professor Lu have any basic common sense?” Zhou Yu looked at Li Qian coldly “Li Qian, I need you to find a way to hack into the surveillance system and check what happened here recently If we don't clear up these uncertainties, Wu Yun and I will not be able to leave you here at the observation station”
Han Li nodded “I also think it's not noruards in the entire observation station”
Li Qian grew nervous When everyone else explained their thoughts, he also felt that there were many points of suspicion
“I understand If I want to hack into their surveillance cameras, I'll be under suspicion, so I need to be in a place where I can connect to a computer”
“Then we'll at least need a laboratory How about this: after dinner, I'll tell Professor Lu that I have research I need to conduct and I want Li Qian to acco said
“I want everyone to gather together, especially the guards No matter what happens, Professor Lu's side doesn't have e in numbers If we're scattered, it'll be easier to be attacked separately” Wu Yun said
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement
“Han Li, you stay here You have the radio for h that”
“Okay” Han Li nodded
After lunch, Zhou Qing asked Professor Lu to borrow one of the labs here
“Li Qian and I designed a systens for the syste our meal just now, Li Qian and I had another discussion and we thought up of several new ideas that ant to iht away”
“Of course, of course! Such a syste! I'll take you to the lab!”
Professor Lu led Zhou Qing and Li Qian out of the dining hall Wu Yun and Zhou Yu followed behind the area to look after the others
When they got to Professor Lu's lab, Professor Lu opened the first set of doors through a fingerprint lock He turned to face Wu Yun and Zhou Yu and said, “Are you going inside the lab too? This doesn't seem to be in coht in that regard In general, guards were not allowed to enter the laboratories, which contained classified research
“That's okay, ere just curious” Wu Yun waved his hands and blocked in front of Zhou Yu Zhou Yu s's hands
As Li Qian walked up to the second door, he looked back in Wu Yun's direction Wu Yun spread out his hands, un
When both doors closed, trapping only Zhou Qing, Li Qian and Professor Lu in the laboratory, Li Qian started to grow nervous
Li Qian sat down and tensely started up the computer He typed in the code as fast as he could While tapping on the keyboard, he nervously watched Professor Lu's everydeliberately stood in front of Professor Lu's line of sight and leaned over the lab bench, as if he was casually discussing some research ideas with him
Professor Lu smiled and listened to him carefully with interest But Li Qian knew that he wasn't actually listening at all and that Zhou Qing was deliberatelyhi had recited a foreign botany paper word-for-word, yet Professor Lu was co's suspicions that there was so with Professor Lu
At this time, Li Qian had cracked into the surveillance systee fro for places were so
The time was yesterday at 3:45 in the afternoon, and the location was that very lab What Li Qian saw ers freeze over the keyboard
Professor Lu was looking at soh the microscope Another researcher in a white lab coat cah his expression couldn't be seen clearly, he had a stooped back and a lowered head His posture looked abnormal, but Professor Lu was entirely unaware of it
The researcher patted Professor Lu on the back Just as Professor Lu turned around, the researcher suddenly spat out a creature with segmented limbs, similar to a worm
In abject horror, Professor Lu tried to avoid it, but the wor onto his face and it quickly forced itself into his body!
Professor Lu started to struggle, but the researcher pressed down on Professor Lu's shoulders with extraordinary strength Professor Lu fell to the ground and fought to pull out the ith both hands His face turned red as he resisted it with all he had Meanwhile, the researcher seeround, both hands supporting hily at Professor Lu
He stared until the worm completely crawled into Professor Lu's mouth and squirmed down his throat Professor Lu's body shook violently, his lih his body and breaking the bones that held hi off as if his flesh and blood had been torn apart The ground was dyed red
Li Qian resisted the urge to vomit He sliced out that portion of the video and sent it to Zhou Yu's communication device
Ten minutes later in the video, Professor Lu stood up and methodically cleaned up the researcher's corpse and the blood on the ground There was a slight sh to send shudders down one's spine
Right then, the communication device around Zhou Yu's wrist beeped outside the lab He received a video clip, and although the screen was tiny, what had transpired was obvious His expression clouded
“shi+t! It's the bone gnaor Zhou Yu's expression, Wu Yun knew that the situation was serious He iuards to protect the researchers in the dining hall, and to under no circumstances allow anyone else in the observation station to approach them
If they wanted to enter the lab, then they would have to wait until Li Qian hacked into the system and opened the two doors
Zhou Yu quickly asseether with Wu Yun, they held up their weapons and pointed them to the door of the laboratory
Li Qian was nervously inputting codes to take control of the guarded entranceway He glanced up at Professor Lu and found that he was slightly bending down His face was getting closer and closer to Zhou Qing, just like when he had been attacked by his own researcher, but Zhou Qing didn't know about the i crisis Li Qian had no time to input the rest of the code, he abruptly stood up and pulled Zhou Qing over
Just then, a large ith thick segments suddenly burst out of Professor Lu'seyes opened wide in shock He narrowly avoided it and fell on top of Li Qian
Li Qian's internal organs were being squeezed out as he shouted, “Shoot! Zhou Qing, shoot it!”
The worm Professor Lu had spat out quickly shrank back inside Professor Lu's s then lowered his head with his ain
Zhou Qing took out his gun but found that he hadn't unlocked the safety It was too late!
Li Qian pushed Zhou Qing off of hiht at Li Qian!
Zhou Qing, who fell to the side, could only stare, wide-eyed, at as about to happen A voice in hisout, “Don't rejectout of his brain and along his line of sight like a rushi+ng torrent The world becaiant wor everywhere
“Ah—Ah—” Li Qian closed his eyes tight and waved his hands around while screa sat down to the side blankly, his hands still wrapped around the gun
The mess of flesh and blood seeed so that it did not touch Zhou Qing and Li Qian at all
“Next tiun froentle voice in Zhou Qing's anisen? Had he been following Zhou Qing and watching hi fro?
Zhou Qing was expecting that voice to call out to hiain, but it see was quiet, except for Li Qian's panicked cry
Zhou Qing quieted his heart and came to Li Qian's side He pressed down on Li Qian's shoulders “Li Qian! Li Qian! Open your eyes! It's fine now, let's get the two doors open, quickly!”
Li Qian snapped out of it He realized that he had been screa for a while already If he had been attacked, then it would have been over by now
He looked at Professor Lu, who had fallen to the ground, and was totally dumbfounded “What… What happened?”
