Chapter 1 Laboratory No. 1.0, the last 5 minutes

The dark tunnel was dark and damp, and there was an unpleasant smell that hit my face.

The smell of rot, blood, damp earth, and even many unknown odors all mixed together to form a pungent, unbearable smell.

.

This tunnel is dark and dark. At a glance, one would think it was a naturally formed underground tunnel or a mountain cave.

But if you look carefully, you can vaguely see the lines made of stone bricks on the wall covered with moss and vines.

Here, it was originally supposed to be an artificially paved tunnel.

But now, the place is in a mess. The dust on the ground has already covered up the originally smooth and regular road. Some unknown debris and debris can be seen everywhere on the ground, and it is difficult to see what they are.

This is a tunnel that is so quiet that it is suffocating. There is a potential crisis hidden in the silence, which makes people dare not take a breath.

Charlotte walked in this tunnel, the flashlight in her hand emitting a faint yellow light.

Her steps were not as steady as usual and sounded a little hasty, but she still tried hard to control the noise she made when walking, as if she was avoiding something.

Her breathing was a bit heavy, and it could be seen that her physical condition was not particularly good, but Charlotte was still trying her best to restrain herself, trying to cover her whereabouts.

The left hand hangs by the side, and there is blood dripping along the back of the hand. It was caused by a serious fall during the violent emergency landing just now.

Charlotte didn't have time to check the injury, so she only relied on a sense of faith to support herself and move forward.

We can't fall down here, we're still a little short of it, and we're getting closer and closer to our goal.

She lost everything and finally got here. Hope is ahead, as long as she persists.

The beam of the flashlight swayed as she moved forward, only illuminating a small area in front of her, making the areas around her unilluminated even more eerie and dangerous.

Finally, at the end of the tunnel, a huge metal door appeared.

Unlike the rusty environment around it, this metal door is covered in dust and has no damage, which shows that it is made of excellent materials.

However, before Charlotte could make any move, there were faint roars coming from the tunnel behind her, one after another.

Charlotte didn't waste any time and quickly came to the gate.

However, the metal door, whose material it was made of, was unexpectedly strong. Even though Charlotte exerted all her strength, she could not push it even an inch.

The roar behind him became louder and louder. It was unclear whether it was from a beast or something else, but it sounded so terrifying.

Charlotte tried hard to concentrate, holding a flashlight in her right hand and carefully looking around the metal door. Finally, she saw the electronic code lock in an inconspicuous corner.

It's incredible that many years have passed, but this combination lock is still powered on.

Charlotte is not an expert in this field, cannot decipher codes, and does not have enough time to allow her to try and explore.

There was a faint vibration on the ground behind him, which showed that what was about to come at the other end of the tunnel must be something terrible.

The dust on the wall peeled off sporadically with the aftermath of the shock. As we got closer, we could vaguely distinguish the source of the sound. There seemed to be more than one source.

That seems to be a group of something.

Charlotte didn't waste time. She bit the flashlight in her mouth and pulled out the dagger tied to her calf.

Using the light of the flashlight, she raised her hand and accurately pried open the main control board of the electronic combination lock. Pulling out a few of the wires, Charlotte carefully identified them, and finally cut them off quickly and accurately.

One of the wires.

"Beep——" A loud electronic sound sounded.

"Warning! Warning! The access control system has been destroyed by abnormal means. Laboratory 0 will initiate a self-destruction program in 5 minutes!" A mechanical electronic sound sounded from the metal door.

Charlotte cursed in a low voice, five minutes would be too late!

Behind me, a fishy smell came. Those guys were getting closer and closer, like maggots attached to the bones, following them all the way, and they couldn't get rid of them.

No, it should be said that it is their instinct to follow and hunt living animals.

After so many years, fresh food has become less and less, not only for humans, but also for monsters.

But the electronic door in front of Charlotte slowly opened.

Inside the door, there was darkness, as if a giant black beast was about to swallow everything.

Charlotte picked up the flashlight again and stepped into the so-called "Laboratory No. 0" without any flinch.

Behind her, the roars of those guys were very close. She could even hear their heavy breathing and their crazy desire for food.

But even at such a critical moment, Charlotte still kept a steady pace and cautiously groped forward in the darkness.

This is already the last hope. The mysterious "Laboratory 0" may be able to find something to fight those guys here.

However, wherever the light shines, it is messy and messy.

I can only say that I'm lucky, unlike other research rooms where countless monsters pounce on me as soon as I open it.

However, the situation is still very pessimistic. Charlotte has no way to find what she needs in such a short time. She doesn't even have 5 minutes!

The self-destruct program means that if she misses, she will never be able to do it again.

Searching quickly in the laboratory, Charlotte did not forget to look for possible exits, such as vents and the like.

She had closed the metal door just now, but because the access control system was destroyed, it probably couldn't stop those guys.

Those guys are not simple mutated humans, but monsters that are larger, more ferocious, and even less recognizable of their original form.

Charlotte didn't know how they were formed. The X virus was originally a foreign mysterious substance in the universe. What kind of genetic guidance it would have, no one could tell clearly now that there are only a few scientists.

No, even in the first few years, no one could thoroughly study this terrible X virus.

It's just a matter of time before those monsters rush in.

Charlotte's flashlight continued to shine, and suddenly, she saw a photo scattered on the ground.

She looked over blankly, her thoughts in a daze for a moment.

It was a very clear photo of a meteorite rain hitting the earth. It might have been taken from a video of a satellite system.

Yes, in 3032 AD, the earth began to be destroyed due to a meteorite rain.

The unknown X virus from the universe began to wreak havoc on this beautiful blue planet.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The huge impact sound, accompanied by the terrifying roar of alien beasts, caused the entire laboratory to vibrate.

Those guys are here.
