Chapter 736: They Are Alive
“I’m in,” Ling Mo controlled the Zombie Puppet to stay behind the door without moving immediately. He waited until the footsteps faded away before turning his gaze to the room.
Seeing the environment through the eyes of a zombie, everything was bathed in a layer of Red Glimmer. However, Ling Mo was already used to this; even when he immediately saw a skeleton specimen with glowing red eyes, he remained calm.
After placing the Jellyfish at the door to keep watch, Ling Mo carefully walked the Zombie Puppet further into the room.
“The scent of blood coming from this Laboratory is the strongest, so there must be something here…” Ling Mo thought.
That was the sensation he got in the Corridor, but upon entering, he discovered that the room not only held a strong scent of blood but also a potent smell of disinfectant and a mix of other strange scents. Combined, the smell was bizarre. A few more breaths and Ling Mo could feel the self-awareness of the Zombie Puppet getting restless.
Of course, this level of disturbance wasn’t enough to affect Ling Mo’s control, so he merely frowned slightly but didn’t stop moving.
“So many…” Ling Mo’s eyes lit up as he looked at the row of bookshelves lined up against the wall.
This scene was still somewhat unexpected; it was clearly an office area. So, where was the scent of blood coming from?Scanning the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, Ling Mo shook his head slightly and walked toward the nearest bookshelf.
However, after circling around these bookshelves, Ling Mo felt a bit disappointed. Judging by the titles, the shelves contained mostly research on Zombies, from No.1 to n, marked in many spots. It was practically a comprehensive growth diary of zombies. If he had time to kill, Ling Mo would have gladly compared these reports with his own zombie knowledge, but time was of the essence, and he needed useful information.
“Besides, their growth diaries are usually accompanied by the torture of zombies. What reference value does that have for me… I could write a manual on special zombie education myself, with 360 techniques, no repeats… but such personal experience is not for sharing and lacks replicability,” Ling Mo thought, as he disappointedly shoved a folder back onto the shelf.
“Drip…”
Suddenly, a faint sound came from somewhere, immediately catching Ling Mo’s attention.
He quickly looked up, his blood-red eyes scanning back and forth, “What was that sound?”
A few seconds later, the faint sound came again, “Drip…”
There was indeed a sound! Ling Mo keenly turned his gaze to the left side of the room.
Although there was also a bookshelf there, it only held a few ceramic trays, so Ling Mo hadn’t paid much attention to it.
But the sound seemed to be coming from the direction of that shelf.
Ling Mo walked over slowly, puzzled, while the Jellyfish hovered overhead.
“Drip…”
Standing in front of the shelf, Ling Mo listened for a moment, then raised an eyebrow, “No, the sound is coming from behind this.”
He immediately grabbed the shelf and gave it a shake, “Hmm, it’s movable?”
Ling Mo tried gripping one side of the shelf and applied a bit of force… the shelf silently slid to the side, revealing a pitch-black gap.
“It actually has wheels…” The wheels were invisible from the outside, but if one were to lie on the ground and observe carefully, they would find a very fine gap between the bookshelf and the floor, with the wheels hidden at the bottom of the shelf. Normally, no one would casually lie on the ground, so while the design was simple, it was sufficiently concealed for practical purposes.
As soon as the gap appeared, the scent that had lured him in became much stronger.
Clearly, the smell was emanating from inside here…
The Jellyfish circled the edge of the gap a couple of times, and Ling Mo’s face showed a hint of anticipation.
“There are several psychic light clusters here; this must be a hidden Laboratory… This level of security already indicates how important this Experimental Group considers it. Even if there are no Reports inside, the Experimental Subjects housed on the Fifth Floor must be extraordinary…” Ling Mo pushed the bookshelf a bit further and eagerly walked in.
The space inside seemed twice as large as the outside, and this hole had evidently been created by breaking through the wall, connecting two or even more rooms. Ling Mo had chosen to enter from the office area. Given this special design, the rooms inside were likely completely sealed.
This Laboratory had a very different structure from the ones Ling Mo had seen before.
There were no rows of iron cages here but rather small cubicles separated by plastic sheets. Opposite the door was a grim corridor.
“Drip…”
Ling Mo turned to the left, following the sound, and his eye twitched.
A metal bucket was hanging on the wall, and a small hole had been visibly dug at the bottom. Below it was a basin.
A thick Liquid slowly oozed from the hole and dripped down every few seconds, creating small blood spatters in the basin: “Drip.”
Just looking at the basin, Ling Mo lost interest in exploring the bucket. There was definitely nothing good in there, and certainly not what he was looking for…
“Ahem…”
Ling Mo shifted his gaze from the corner and turned toward the corridor ahead of him. He was more interested in these cubicles, or to be exact, the Experimental Subjects within. Perhaps he could find some information related to the Progenitor here…
The first few cubicles were empty, and the platforms inside were very clean. However, as he walked up to a cubicle in the middle, Ling Mo’s hand hesitated slightly before pulling the curtain.
Even without the Jellyfish, just relying on the Zombie Puppet’s sensitivity to the scent of the virus, Ling Mo knew this cubicle housed an occupant.
Ling Mo hesitated for a moment, then swiftly pulled open the curtain.
Despite being mentally prepared, Ling Mo was still stunned by the sight inside the cubicle.
“This… these people think they’re mad scientists, don’t they?” Ling Mo stood there, dumbfounded for several seconds before finally snapping out of it.
Inside the cubicle was a humanoid Creature, its hands pulled up and chained to the wall.
An Iron Chain around its waist was secured to an iron ring embedded in the wall, making it completely immobilized.
From the messy long hair and pronounced chest, it was evident this was a female Zombie.
Though she was covered, it was more like a piece of cloth draped over her rather than actual clothing…
At first glance, she seemed relatively normal, but for someone like Ling Mo, who had a keen eye for details, one thing stood out immediately!
The chest of this female Zombie… it didn’t look right!
“While I’ve heard of chests larger than basketballs, this is way beyond that,” Ling Mo cautiously walked into the cubicle and grabbed the cloth, pulling it away forcefully.
“Hmm?” Ling Mo had to admit; it wasn’t exactly what he had imagined…
Looking at the grotesquely oversized chest, beating like a heart, Ling Mo realized that just looking wouldn’t yield any answers.
They trembled as if alive, but there was no further transformation. In fact, facing Ling Mo, they almost seemed to calm down, as if holding their breath…
“A pair of living breasts…” Ling Mo steeled himself and split off a Tentacle.
As the Tentacle slowly approached the chest, the trembling grew more intense.
The chest seemed to be Sensing something, swaying side to side. If they had arms, they might have been making a pleading gesture…
The sight left Ling Mo utterly horrified. He’d seen belly dancing, but breast dancing? He’d never even heard of pleading breasts…
“Poof!”
The Materialized Tentacle lightly prodded one of the nipples, causing a strong tremor. Suddenly, the two enormous breasts began to swell, like two arms, reaching out towards Ling Mo.
“Damn!”
Ling Mo’s scalp tingled as he quickly stepped back.
However, he soon realized he had overreacted. Although the breasts were deforming, they were… too short.
Despite the nipple’s efforts to extend the breast, it only managed to reach about the length of a forearm. And on closer inspection, wasn’t this a cone-shaped chest?
“This is some kind of fashionable variation…” Ling Mo silently wiped off some sweat.
He cautiously used his Tentacle to drape the cloth back over her, but then he noticed a tag hanging from the female Zombie’s body.
Ling Mo lifted the tag for a closer look and was left speechless: “Silicone Varied Zombie Type A. Note, the main body can still react instinctively even when unconscious.”
“This tag is way too small to serve as a warning! And this works too?”
On second thought, though, those fillers were foreign objects. Even if they couldn’t get infected by the virus, when muscles, bones, and even blood undergo drastic changes, these foreign materials wouldn’t escape unscathed. This variant female Zombie was probably here because the Experimental Group had accelerated her silicone variation process.
He had seen Zombies that could use their breasts to launch Venom like a water gun, but at that time, he didn’t notice if there were silicone inserts involved.
Now that he thought about it, such unique variations were likely due to foreign object stimulation.
If the Experimental Group could find those Venom Zombies, they’d probably label them as Type B…
“This is really educational…” Ling Mo made a mental note and then turned his attention to another cubicle.
He was beginning to get a vague idea of the purpose of this Laboratory…
