CHAPTER 1156: CHAPTER 274:

The mercenary pressed his lips together, revealing a faint smile; only a smile could ease the shock in his heart upon seeing such a situation.

He was long used to this kind of situation.

"Have you seen any survivors locked up in this base?" Lin Fan asked.

The mercenary shook his head and said, "None now. There used to be, but they’ve all become test subjects. It’s been a long time since any survivors were captured; possibly, it’s getting harder to find survivors nowadays."

Lin Fan felt deeply downcast; unfortunately, it was useless, as things had already happened and could not be undone.

Just at that moment.

A groove appeared on the wall of the passage, revealing embedded weapons.

Swish...

A silver-white light emerged.

The embedded weapon suddenly exploded.

"Be careful, obstacles have appeared," Lin Fan warned.

"Got it."

The mercenary closely followed behind Lin Fan; he knew the situation in this base, remembered there were many dangerous weapons, not only for preventing invasion by outsiders but also for dealing with uncontrollable monsters during their development.

Walking, step by step.

The laser corridor opened.

This type of laser could slice through steel plates; once trapped by this weapon, there’s no way out unless the power supply is cut off, otherwise it’s a dead end.

"Many bases have such weapons."

Lin Fan had visited several bases, all equipped with such weapons; the best way to handle them was to punch the wall hard, the impact unleashing a destructive vibration causing the laser weapons to shut down automatically.

What seemed like a straightforward solution completely perplexed the mercenary following behind.

It truly was terrifying to the extreme.

Becoming an enemy with someone like this was the most foolish action.

At that moment, Xu Jiang was constantly monitoring, seeing Lin Fan getting closer; his expression turned incredibly grim, then hastily checked the progress of the embryo’s evolution.

The embryo had begun to develop after the injection of various drugs.

The flesh swelled, and the tentacles soaked in viscous fluid thrashed about randomly.

Bang!

Bang!

An accident occurred with the researchers injecting drugs into the embryo in the laboratory.

The vigorous embryo wildly developed, and the embryo inside the Creator’s body had already targeted the surrounding researchers, its tentacles containing violent power wrapped them up.

Screams resounded constantly, sounding very miserable.

Xu Jiang remained remarkably calm; everything had become uncontrollable, and he blamed all this chaos on Lin Fan.

If it weren’t for Lin Fan’s appearance,

none of this would have happened.

...

"Do you hear the anguished screams?" Lin Fan looked at the mercenary behind him; he had just heard terrible screams coming from ahead.

"No."

The mercenary shook his head; he really hadn’t heard anything.

Lin Fan said, "When the heart is calm enough, you can hear many sounds; I think something’s happened ahead, a dreadful monster is being born, is it here to deal with me?"

He noticed that some survivors nowadays were really irritable.

They could become very fierce to accomplish something.

The mercenary was startled by Lin Fan, feeling a bit tense, could only nod silently from behind.

"Yes, being calm allows you to hear many sounds, but with you here, no monster poses a problem."

Lin Fan said, "Confidence is good, but you must be aware of unknown dangers; no one is the strongest, even I sometimes need to give the opponent significant consideration."

The mercenary felt that Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter was truly humble.

Very soon.

They arrived in front of a closed laboratory.

Sticky blood stains were splattered on the door.

Clearly, something terrifying had just happened.

"Be careful, we’re going in," Lin Fan said.

"Oh."

As they approached, the tightly closed laboratory door opened, chaos pervaded inside, bloodstains were everywhere on the floor, and surrounding equipment had been destroyed.

The mercenary swallowed hard, the pungent smell of blood assaulting his senses.

How many people must have died to cause such a disgusting scene?

Above the mercenary on the ceiling, a tentacle slowly descended, silently stretching downwards; once it was close enough, the tentacle suddenly exerted force, attempting to wrap the mercenary up and drag him into the ceiling.

Swish!

Everything before the mercenary turned blurry, unable to see what happened; he only felt something wet on his face, glancing down to see sticky blood all over him, an amputated tentacle wrapped around his neck.

"Ah... Ah..."

The mercenary screamed frantically; even though he had seen the world, encountering such a situation left him completely stunned, mentally frozen.

Lin Fan gently removed the tentacle for him, "Don’t worry, the tentacle from above was slowly descending trying to pull you away; I’ve been watching, nothing will happen, with me here, I assure your safety."

Breathing heavily due to the shock, the mercenary couldn’t stabilize himself like Lin Fan.

"What a terrifying malformed zombie; its body isn’t here, it should be deep inside, like a hunter lurking in the shadows, always watching us," Lin Fan said.

The mercenary looked around warily; although he knew being near Lin Fan brought safety, he was still shaken and anxious, nervous after the recent event.

Lin Fan saw he was still very scared.
