The Heartthrob System cultivates brotherhood online

The research institute is underground. There are no buildings on the ground. It is remote and desolate. There are several abandoned factories nearby. There are a few zombies wandering around here and there. They are people who came out of the research institute.

The team was divided into two teams, a small part was left far away from the institute, and the rest all participated in the rescue.

In Xue Yan's team, Zhou Yunen was left at the base, while Xue Yan and Ling Si followed him into the research institute. Both of them held the blueprints of the research institute, and the only building on the ground in the blueprints was wrapped by countless vines, with large dark red roses blooming on the vines.

Only when they arrived at the research institute did they truly see this grand and bizarre scene. According to news from the research institute, these vines can move.

There was no wind, and one could see the leaves wrapped around the white building swaying slowly with the naked eye, like a python trying to strangle its prey.

The white building tilted slightly, and the surface was covered with dense cracks. The materials used in the national research institute were all military grade, and the fact that the exterior was destroyed like this showed how powerful this rose was.

The signal from the research institute disappeared three days ago, so Ling Yi summoned the psychics to come to the rescue.

The entrance to the institute was completely blocked by green vines. Ling Yi asked the soldiers to pick a large pile of dry grass and pour gasoline on it. The fire-type psychic set the grass on fire, and the wind-type psychic blew the smoke towards the rose.

Large clouds of black smoke caused the leaves of the vines to shrink, and the vines in front of the door slowly retreated, eventually revealing the real door.

"Go forward." Ling Yi waved his hand, and the fire-type mutant cleared the way forward.

Xue Yan grabbed Ling Si's hand and whispered, "Be careful."

Xue Yan held a flashlight in his hand and looked around. He could faintly hear the sound of dripping water in the air. There were slightly wriggling vines on the ground and walls. If he was not careful, he would be tripped by the vines.

The psychics with weaker mental qualities have already started to retch, because it looks too much like a living creature.

Darkness often magnifies one's inner fear. Xue Yan stepped on something soft and looked down suddenly. In his peripheral vision, he saw a vine quickly retracting into the wall.

For some reason, Xue Yan always had a bad feeling when looking at these disgusting things.

Ten meters ahead was a door. The power supply was gone, but it could still be opened. If they were not in desperate situation, they probably would not have had the chance to know the password to the door.

There are three routes when you go in, and each one leads to the central area where Dr. Qin and his students are.

The troops were divided into three groups. Ling Yi led about twenty people and chose the middle path. Xue Yan, Ling Si and a dozen others chose the left path, and the rest went to the right.

After walking for a few minutes, Xue Yan heard a rustling sound on the floor, as if something was crawling on the ground, and there were a lot of them.

The others obviously heard it as well, and felt a chill down their spines and got goose bumps.

In the closed tunnel, it was impossible to determine the direction the thing was coming from. Xue Yan said seriously, "Go forward first."

The entire underground research institute is very large. Xue Yan has lost count of how many stairs he has gone down. There is a door lock at the end of each staircase. At this time, the soldier in the team who knows the password will step forward and open the door.

The strange thing is that they did not encounter any zombies in the research institute. Logically, even if they were killed, there would be corpses.

Ling Si had been held by Xue Yan, and when he noticed the man's palms were wet with sweat, he tried to break free.

Xue Yan was too embarrassed to hold him anymore, so he shook his hand and said, "Follow closely."

Ling Si shone the flashlight in his hand around and found many red roses above his head. The petals were perfect and wet with water droplets, which made them look gorgeous. A drop of water dripped from the flower above Ling Si's head. Ling Si noticed an unusual smell and stretched out his hand. A drop of water just fell on the palm of the boy's hand. He took it to his nose and smelled it, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

"It smells like blood."

After the end of the world, the air became very bad, often emitting a rotten smell mixed with the smell of blood, which was difficult to distinguish.

Just as the soldier at the front opened the door, the roses above his head suddenly grew vines and attacked the people in the corridor.

The steel pipe in Ling Si's hand collided with the vine, making a dull sound, like hitting a snake. The vine seemed to have lost its strength and fell down. The black mist in Xue Yan's hand dissipated, and the roses became charred.

Finally entering the door, a foul smell hit his nose. When the psychic shone the flashlight, he almost vomited.

The ground was covered with corpses, like a carpet. If you look closely, you can see the roots of plants attached to the corpses, constantly absorbing nutrients from the corpses.

A superpower user's voice trembled: "So, these roses are fed by corpses?"

Everyone was standing on the corpses, with no room to stand. The sticky, wet feeling underfoot tortured their nerves. Everyone walked towards another door with pale faces, their bodies completely stiff.

Even when facing zombies, they had never lost their composure like this. Some people kept making retching sounds, and some even vomited directly.

Ling Si wrinkled his face and blocked his sense of smell, but he still felt a strange smell coming into his nose.

Xue Yan had never seen such a scene before. Afraid that the boy would be scared, he squatted down in front of him and said, "I'll carry you."

There was no place for everyone to stay, and it was even harder to walk with someone on their back. He poked Xue Yan's back and said, "No need, let's go."

Xue Yan stopped procrastinating after hearing that. He pulled Ling Si and looked straight ahead, trying hard to ignore the strange feeling under his feet.

After walking out of this place, everyone even wanted to throw away their shoes. No danger was encountered for the time being, but everyone was disgusted. What secrets does the research institute have to cultivate such a monster?

The group seemed to have reached the center, but no other superpowers were seen. This place was obviously much more normal, and there were traces of people. Everyone was vigilantly observing the surroundings, and suddenly there was a loud noise not far away, and the whole institute shook slightly.

Just when everyone was about to head in the direction of the sound, a weak voice appeared from behind, "...Are you from the survivor base?"

Everyone was startled. Anyone would be frightened if they suddenly heard someone talking in a dark and quiet environment, not to mention that the person's aura was not right.

The leader shone the flashlight over there and saw a person sitting on the ground in the corner of the laboratory table. He was wearing a white protective suit and seemed to be a researcher.

Seeing that it was a human, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

A superpower bravely stepped forward, "Brother, why are you here? Where are Dr. Qin and his students?"

"I am the teacher's student." The man coughed a few times and opened his protective mask.

The man was very thin, with a pointy chin, probably because he was hungry, but it didn't reduce his handsomeness at all. After being indoors for a long time, his skin was sickly pale. He smiled indifferently, "The teacher is in another place. I came out to find something to eat, but I fainted here."

Ling Si scanned the man's body and found that except for the outer shell, there were green vines wriggling inside, supporting the body in this way.

Moreover, this didn't seem to be the face of this body originally.

Xue Yan felt that this person's appearance was too strange, but he couldn't see anything different.

The boy next to him suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear: "He is not a human."
