Chapter 228 The Beautiful Doctor's Love and Career (80 words)
However, the monster's skin was as hard as steel.
The dagger only left a tiny white mark on its surface before bouncing back.
The situation on Mu Shang's side is also not optimistic.
The gun in his hand kept spitting fire, and bullets flew towards the monsters.
However, what is truly disheartening is...
These bullets hit the monster as if they were hitting a solid rock.
It can only slow them down slightly, and cannot cause them any real harm. It can only temporarily force them back a few steps.
"These things seem impervious to bullets, we need to think of another way!"
Mu Shang gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, large beads of sweat sliding down his resolute face and dripping onto the dusty ground.
Enraged by this brief attack, the monsters charged at them with even greater frenzy.
Although their movements appear clumsy and slow, each swing of their thick arms carries an overwhelming force.
Gu Yichen and Mu Shang fought and retreated under the fierce attack.
Before we knew it, we had retreated into a narrow and cramped alley.
"What should we do? If this continues, we'll be worn down sooner or later!"
Gu Yichen bent over, his hands on his knees, panting heavily, his voice trembling slightly.
Mu Shang quickly looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of light in the darkness.
"Look, there's a ventilation shaft! Go that way, maybe we can get out!"
He pointed to a small vent on the top of the wall.
The two of them struggled to climb up the ventilation shaft, using both hands and feet. As soon as they entered, they were choked by the stale and decaying smell inside and coughed a few times.
The space inside the ventilation duct was cramped, so they could only huddle up and crawl forward with difficulty.
However, the monsters did not stop there; they frantically scratched at the ventilation duct with their sharp, dagger-like claws.
The piercing sound echoed continuously in the confined space, as if it were a countdown to death.
After climbing for an unknown amount of time, the two finally emerged from the ventilation shaft.
What appeared before them was a long-abandoned factory.
The area was filled with rusty machinery and all sorts of junk, resembling a giant junkyard.
Dim light streamed in through the dusty window, illuminating the dust particles floating in the air.
It added a sinister and terrifying atmosphere to the entire space, sending chills down one's spine.
"We need to find a place to hide and come up with a new plan."
Mu Shang dusted himself off and said with a solemn expression.
The two carefully searched the factory, not missing any corner that might hide a glimmer of hope.
Finally, they discovered a relatively hidden basement entrance in an inconspicuous corner.
They quickly went into the basement, then leaned against the wall, panting heavily, trying to calm their wildly beating hearts.
"Where did these monsters come from?"
Gu Yichen sat on the ground, holding his head in his hands, his heart filled with doubt and unease.
Mu Shang shook his head helplessly, a glimmer of hope in his eyes:
"No matter what, we must get out of here alive and report the situation to headquarters."
After a short rest, they mustered their strength and began a thorough search of the basement.
Holding a sliver of hope, they hoped to find some useful weapons or supplies to provide some protection for their survival.
In a dark corner of the basement, they found some tattered experimental reports.
The paper had yellowed, and the writing on it was somewhat blurry.
But the words "human experimentation" and "mutated genes" are faintly visible, which sends chills down one's spine.
"It seems these monsters were created by humans."
Gu Yichen picked up a report and examined it carefully. His expression grew increasingly solemn, as if shrouded in a thick gloom.
Just as Gu Yichen and Mu Shang were feeling heavy-hearted about this astonishing discovery, a faint yet exceptionally clear hissing sound suddenly came from the somewhat worn-out walkie-talkie at Gu Yichen's waist.
The sound was like a bolt of lightning piercing the dark night sky, instantly shattering the deathly silence in the basement.
Immediately afterwards, Jun Sui's familiar and steady voice, mixed with some static caused by signal interference, slowly rang out in this small space filled with the smell of decay:
"Yichen, Mushang, can you hear me?"
Gu Yichen's eyes widened instantly, and almost without thinking, he rushed to the walkie-talkie at top speed.
With slightly trembling hands, she pressed the call button, her voice trembling with excitement and surprise, tinged with an almost irrepressible eagerness:
"Captain! We're here, we can hear you! Thank God, we've finally made contact!"
His forehead was covered in sweat, which slid down his dusty cheeks.
It dripped onto the stained floor, splashing up tiny specks of dust.
"How are things going for you? We encountered some mutated monsters here, and we just escaped their pursuit. It was a very dangerous situation."
We are now working tirelessly to find a solution.
Jun Sui's voice came through the walkie-talkie immediately afterward.
Despite their deep exhaustion, they remained steadfast and strong, bringing them a glimmer of comfort and hope.
Mu Shang took the walkie-talkie, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.
Then quickly and clearly explain to the other party their current predicament in detail:
"We are now hiding in the basement of an abandoned factory, and the surrounding environment is eerie and terrifying."
We just encountered a monster attack as well.
These monsters appear to be mutants created through inhuman human experimentation.
Their skin is harder than you can imagine.
Our weapons were almost ineffective against them; the bullets hit them as if they were hitting the hardest rock.
It can only slow their movements slightly, but it cannot cause them any real harm.
We are now in a real dilemma.
Have you made any new discoveries over there?
Mu Shang's eyes revealed anxiety and anticipation, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly due to tension.
He gripped the walkie-talkie tightly, as if it were their only lifeline.
Yun Suisi remained silent for a moment, seemingly pondering something important, before speaking in a calm and steady voice:
"In our previous explorations, we discovered that the actions of these mutants seem to be directed by some kind of central control system."
It is very likely related to the chips implanted in their bodies.
We are racing against time to find a way to interfere with or disrupt this control system.
We have some initial clues, but further verification and refinement are needed.
"Then what should we do now?"
Gu Yichen asked anxiously, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and helplessness.
But more than anything, it was the desire to survive and the trust in his comrades.
He bit his lip tightly, and his lips were already dry, cracked, and bleeding.
His hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched, revealing his inner tension and unease.
"Try to stay hidden, find a safe corner to hide in, conserve your energy, and do not make any rash moves."
We will speed things up and rush over to rescue you as soon as we find a viable solution.
You must hold on!
Yun Suisi's voice was firm and powerful, as if an invisible force was transmitted to Gu Yichen and Mu Shang through the walkie-talkie.
It rekindled the flame of hope in their hearts, which had been filled with despair.
"Okay, we'll hold on."
"You all must be careful, and you must survive to save us."
