The transporter continued to attack the two. Its snake-like tail allowed it to dodge Amuro Toru's bullets in mid-air. At the same time, it would control the tree roots to launch a surprise attack on the two.
"It's never going to end! Where are the incendiary bombs? Incendiary bombs?" The mercenary was obviously being forced into a corner.
Amuro Toru was also in a bad situation. He was sure that if he was hit by one more attack, he would turn into a piece of wood. Because the mercenary had just helped him block a lot of sudden attacks from tree roots, and when the tree roots pierced the mercenary's arm, that arm would slowly turn into wood.
The mercenary only needs to cut off the arm before the woodiness spreads to the shoulder, and a new arm will grow back thanks to the regenerative ability of the mycelium. But Amuro Toru can't do that; if he gets stabbed, he'll die instantly.
So after receiving the message from the mercenary, Toru Amuro took out almost all the incendiary bombs, a stun bomb and a flash bomb, and threw them out all at once.
"Hide quickly!" Toru Amuro pulled away the mercenary who was still fighting with the tree roots.
The explosion of the stun grenade shattered almost all the glass in the laboratory, and the flash bomb obscured the vision of those creatures from the abyss.
With his hearing and vision impaired, the transporter lost track of Toru Amuro and the mercenaries and returned to the depths of the laboratory with the tree roots.
Amuro Toru, who had almost escaped death, gasped for breath. "The things you're researching... even harm your own people? Your research team... can't they all be crazy scientists?"
"Be optimistic. At least our research team still has some morals."
"Did not see it."
"Okay, okay, if you say no, then so be it." The mercenary said helplessly. "Anyway, no one in our manor can afford to play two mahjong tables."
"However, the laboratory on the second underground floor is so exaggerated. You said before that it would be more dangerous up there. Then Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth..." Toru Amuro looked towards the stairs.
"I hope they have better luck and don't run into anything infernal." The mercenary retracted the mycelium from his body and transformed back into a normal person. "Let's go back. I think it's okay to just wait outside."
"Let's go."
Toru Amuro and the mercenary walked back along the corridor, ready to leave this place of trouble.
On the underground floor, Gin and Vodka walked cautiously among the numerous petri dishes and display cabinets. Both held their guns on guard, guarding against the experimental creatures that might run out at any time.
However, the silence for a long time made Vodka relax his vigilance a little: "Oh, this place must have been cleared out a long time ago, there are empty glass jars everywhere."
"Vodka, don't let your guard down!" Gin pointed his gun at the logo on one of the glass jars. It was a Muse mark.
Vodka immediately stopped complaining: "So, this is the territory of Oritis's gang?"
"Anyway, let's see if there are any valuable items first."
Gin first saw some blank files in the bookcase. There was nothing on the paper except the watermark of the Muse. Then there were some simple pen nibs, pen nibs, pen nibs... and pen nibs.
Gin's face turned pale. Why did Oritis and his gang put so many pen tips in the laboratory?
[Prisoner: Wow, so many pen tip tokens, who threw them there?]
[Professor: It's me. These things take up too much space.]
[Novelist: Indeed, those tumbleweeds sent down from Abyss Eight also take up a lot of space.]
"Brother, I found something!" Vodka's voice came from next door. "But these things look... a little weird."
Gin walked over and saw three cylindrical ecological culture dishes in the middle of the laboratory. Three black and red plants were floating in the light green culture medium.
There are also many transparent spherical petri dishes hanging on the ceiling, containing various small plants.
As an ecological laboratory, it was indeed quite professional, with a full range of equipment, and the plants used as experimental subjects were quite rare. The problem was that these three plants were too rare.
The plants in the three cylindrical petri dishes have a red main structure that resembles a human brain. The red vines crawl all over the "brain" like blood vessels, and purple-black leaves and flower buds grow at the ends of the vines.
Gin saw that the bud of one of the plants was in full bloom, but the petals of the blooming flower had a structure similar to human skin membrane, and the stamens were not thread-like like normal flowers, but a somewhat cloudy eyeball.
The roots of this plant are black and red, coiled around the bottom of the cylindrical culture dish like octopus tentacles, and connected to the "brain"-like structure upwards.
The whole plant looked like an alien creature. Even a cold-faced killer like Gin changed his expression slightly when he saw it. Vodka beside him was so scared that his face turned pale.
"Brother...are these really plants?" Vodka looked at the license plate of the laboratory, which said it was an ecological laboratory, and asked Gin again in disbelief.
[Toy Merchant: Oh wow, those are the plants from Mrs. Pliny's "Ecosphere."]
[Entomologist: These plants look scary. The black ones are roots, the red ones are buds, and the purple ones are indeed mature leaves.]
[Professor: So the red "brain" is actually a tuber, right?]
[Antique Dealer: Is it the same as a potato? Can it be eaten?]
[Batter: We're not hungry enough to eat something so disgusting...]
Vodka really couldn't stand such a creepy plant, so he turned and entered the laboratory opposite, but this laboratory was actually a place where various specimens were stored.
So when Vodka entered the door, he was almost vomited by the strong smell of formaldehyde. When he looked up, he saw rows of strange eyeball specimens.
Some had three tentacles, some had bloodshot vitreous bodies, some had pupils reflecting the colors of the starry sky, and some were already broken.
There were several broken containers on the ground, and Vodka accidentally stepped on one of them. Obviously, he not only stepped on the container, but also stepped on the eyeball that fell out of the container.
The eyeball made a "pop" sound under Vodka's feet, similar to a fish bladder being punctured, and then a pool of turbid black water was squeezed out as Vodka stepped on it.
“Ugh!!! So disgusting!!!”
It turns out that even vodka is afraid of this overly nefarious stuff.
[Lucky Winner: Wow, what a realistic prop! Who made this?]
[Toy Merchant: This is modeled after the Abyss VI miniature Yuggoth follower, right? The texture...]
[Deer Head: Um...actually, the water inside those eyeballs is made by adding ingredients to the green river water I salvaged from the Forest of No Return.]
[Adventurer: Ugh... No, let me take it easy. Making it too realistic doesn't seem like a good idea...]
"Don't touch those things. Some experimental subjects cannot survive if they leave their original environment. Finding information, experimental data is the most important thing!" Gin gave Vodka the order with a look of disappointment on his face.
Vodka suppressed his nausea and shook his leather shoes, then rubbed the soles of his shoes on the wall dust beside him until the foul-smelling black water was wiped clean, and then he continued to look for useful experimental data.
