Chapter 178 Airtight Door
"Hey, it seems to make sense." The fisherman nodded vigorously, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have walked all the way without seeing a single person or corpse."
After taking care of Xin Jiuwu, the three of them walked through two blocks along the red light, and a rock wall appeared in their sight.
The second underground floor of Wuming Island Research Institute is not like the first floor, which is an underground network composed of tunnels and caves. Instead, it is a huge hollowed-out underground space. A thirty-meter-thick rock wall divides this huge underground space into two areas: the "living area" and the "working area".
Pass through the passage carved into the rock wall to reach the laboratory area.
At the end of the road, a metal air-tight door with a diameter of three meters is embedded in the rock wall. The air-tight door has a thick and solid shape, with rough casting lines on the surface, and tic-shaped reinforcing ribs run through the front of the air-tight door... ...However, what made the fisherman a little helpless was that he walked around the air-tight door but couldn't find the valve to open the door at all.
"How...how do I open this door?" The fisherman scratched his head, "Or can it only be opened from the other side?"
"The opening and closing of the airtight door is controlled by a mechanical structure embedded inside the rock wall. This part of the mechanical structure extends all the way to the control center of the institute's safety center." Yano said, "As for the safety center, it is indeed on the other side of the rock wall. Side.”
"Then we can only break the door violently?" said the fisherman.
"...This airtight door, if I remember correctly, is already two meters thick." Yano sighed, "And the material used is extremely hard tungsten alloy, not common steel alloy... You didn't notice After all these years, is it not rusty at all?”
"Sun Hang, isn't your ability to manipulate metal?" The fisherman suddenly slapped his head, "You should have a way to open the door, right?"
"I'll give it a try." Sun Hang stepped forward and placed his palm on the heavy air-tight door.
After a few seconds, he stepped back with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong? It doesn't work?" the fisherman asked with some disappointment.
"No." Sun Hang shook his head, "There is a big guy behind the door. I'm not sure if it will pounce out after opening the door, so I want you to be prepared first."
"I'll go? Big guy? How big is it?" The fisherman trembled and subconsciously pulled out the short knife from his waist.
"Not sure. In short, the aura intensity is much stronger than that of Xin Jiuwu just now." Sun Hang said.
Sun Hang was a little confused. They came to this door under the guidance of the red light. If the being who controlled the red light wanted to see them, logically they should not be allowed to pass through here.
According to the design drawings of the Wuming Island Research Institute, there are a total of five passages like this on the rock wall...could it be said that the other four passages are filled with stronger monsters than here?
"I wonder where those Ansa people have gone." The fisherman said suddenly.
In the gloomy hunter's subjective perception, his companions are not Xin Jiuwu's opponents at all. Logically speaking, they should all die under Xin Jiuwu's tentacles, but Sun Hang and the others only found one person near the elevator. There are corpses of Ansa hunters and two Indian hunters, which means that some hunters still escaped from Xin Jiuwu's activity area alive.
However, the route guided by the red light was not consistent with the traces left by the hunters when they fled. The fisherman also asked Sun Hang whether to follow the red light or continue to follow the Ansa hunters. After repeated consideration, Sun Hang chose former.
Regardless of whether those Angsa hunters were panicking or not, Sun Hang not only did not feel any malice about the messages on those two pieces of paper, but he also felt a strange sense of intimacy...
That ambiguous tone is more like lovers... No, to be precise, it's more like family members confiding...
Sun Hang was suddenly startled, and he suddenly remembered what the strange familiar feeling he had felt before was!
It's a feeling of having the same blood!
The things that contaminated Xin Jiuwu and the memes that turned Sun Hang into an infected person... they have the same source. Sun Hang's breathing became a little faster.
My own infection was definitely not an accident!
The first thing I was infected with was definitely not the Taotie meme!
Wuming Island and Tianfu City are thousands of kilometers apart. Did that thing cross the distance of thousands of kilometers and find me...or did he, after being infected on Wuming Island, cross thousands of kilometers and run to... Tianfu City?
Sun Hang fell into deep thought.
What kind of person was he in the past - an unlucky guy who got lucky? Or an experimental subject who escaped from a certain research institute?
However, if you are an experimental subject, you should have your own files at Tianshu Tower.
Even if his ability can change his appearance, if the frequency of memes is fixed, it is impossible for Tianshu Tower to not discover his true identity.
A bold idea suddenly popped into Sun Hang's head.
"Am I really human?"
But in the next moment, this thought strangely disappeared from his mind, as if it had been erased by an invisible eraser.
"Sun Hang, you decide." The fisherman's voice came from the side, "Whether you open this door or choose another passage."
"Ah?" Sun Hang was startled, as if waking up from a dream, and looked at the air-tight door that was close at hand in a daze.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What's wrong with you? You seemed to be... distracted just now?" Yano asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay." Sun Hang waved his hand, "I seemed to have thought of something just now..."
"Something? What thing?"
"I want to know too... They just flashed through my mind, but now I have no impression at all." Sun Hang frowned, "It was obviously just a few seconds ago, but I couldn't think of it at all. Get up.”
"Is it related to the strange thing behind the door?" the fisherman asked curiously.
"Probably not."
"Then don't think about it now, the things at hand are the most important." said the fisherman.
"Yeah." Sun Hang nodded and took a deep breath, "Then I'm going to open the door. You all should be ready."
"OK!" The fisherman took two steps back, holding the short knife horizontally in one hand, and placing the large-caliber hunting pistol on the wrist holding the knife with the other hand.
Yano picked up the submachine gun left by Huang Fusha and adjusted the shooting mode to fully automatic.
Sun Hang walked to the side of the airtight door and placed his palms on the side of the protruding rock wall.
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching sound of gears clenching, the rock wall shook slightly, and a burst of fine dust fell.
The heavy airtight door began to turn.
