"Mr. Smith told us to evacuate?"

When they learned the truth from Professor Wu, the two researchers were astonished, as if they were incredulous.

"Why, why did Mr. Smith ask us to evacuate here?"

Seeing that the two kept asking, unable to do so, Professor Wu finally had to say, "This place is no longer safe."

Hearing this, the two were dumbfounded.Why is it not safe here?Is the underground tunnel going to collapse or is the island going to sink?Or did the police find it?

Before they opened their mouths to ask, Professor Wu said in a deep voice: "From the very beginning, Mr. Smith and I felt that the success rate of this project was very small, and we only agreed to come here because of the request from the superior. Facts have proved that our guess is That's right. The practice of using merman cells to modify defective human genes is simply uncontrollable."

Hearing this, the two researchers fell silent for a moment.

Because from the current experimental results, this is indeed the case.I heard from the hospital that they had given injections to some mental patients when they were researching the first version of the drug. Although there was indeed improvement at the beginning, the condition of the patients quickly deteriorated, and eventually they died insanely.

But even so, neither the superior nor the hospital was willing to stop the study. Instead, they approached Professor Wu and asked him to take over the study as a consultant, with the purpose of finding out the root cause of the drug failure.

Although Professor Wu is not optimistic about this research, but due to the orders from above, he had to bite the bullet and come to the secret laboratory on this isolated island.However, the arrival of Professor Wu did not seem to provide any effective help to the project.

Thinking of this, the older researcher seemed to understand something, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

Professor Wu did not answer, but his attitude has already acquiesced to this answer.

Seeing this, another younger researcher was even more puzzled, "So Mr. Smith asked us to evacuate because the drug development failed?"

"Xiao Ke, your thinking is too simple."

On the side, the calm and elderly researcher said: "If it's just like this, Mr. Smith probably wouldn't have given such an order to make us evacuate in such a hurry."

"Old Chen is right." Professor Wu looked cold, "There is indeed a problem with the medicine."

Xiao Ke: "...But isn't there always been a problem with the medicine?" Otherwise, there is no need for them to come to this island.

Professor Wu shook his head, "Although there are always problems with the medicine, this time is different."

Xiao Ke was a little confused.Why is it different?

"It's just a trivial matter to aggravate the patient's condition. The scary thing is that this drug has an unknown side effect—"

Professor Wu paused, "It will cause the patient's genetic recombination and irreversible body mutations."

Hei Qi, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, was startled when he heard this.Su Ji was very calm because he learned the truth from Zeng Qi beforehand.

"How could it be..." The researcher named Xiao Ke opened his eyes in great surprise, "But those patients who were injected before obviously..."

"That's because there is an incubation period for mutation, and it's not time yet!"

Seeing Professor Wu continue with a cold face: "From the first injection of the medicine, the seeds of mutation have been planted in the bodies of those patients. After the three injections, the body's genetic recombination will be completely urged to mutate. But this This kind of mutation caused by interference and recombination of foreign genes is extremely burdensome to the human body, and many people simply cannot survive the mutation period."

Hearing this, Xiao Ke looked dumbfounded, "So... the reason why those patients who were injected with the drug died so crazy is because they failed to survive the mutation period?"

"Yes."

At this moment, a surprised expression was completely welded on Hei Qi's face.He didn't expect to get such important information in just a few minutes.

After listening to Professor Wu's explanation, Su Ji couldn't help but feel lucky.Thanks to him knowing about the problem of drug injection in advance, otherwise the players who got the status of patients would have died.

After a while, Lao Chen, who recovered from the shock, asked, "If you can survive the mutation period, what will the patient mutate into?"

"Judging from the successful case of the previous mutation, the mutated patient will shed all the epidermis, leaving only the muscles and fascia. At the same time, its strength, speed, jumping ability and auditory perception have greatly increased. besides……"

After speaking, Professor Wu paused, "The mutated patients will also eat human flesh."

Hearing this, the expressions of the two changed suddenly.

"How come..." Xiao Ke looked in disbelief, "We haven't heard of these things before. Professor, how do you know?"

"Because I saw this." After speaking, Professor Wu handed over the folder in his hand.

Xiao Ke was puzzled, "What is this?"

Professor Wu: "This is the record about that incident, which contains the information of the mutated patient."

Hearing this, the two quickly took it, opened the folder and saw that it clearly recorded how the body of this pica patient named Zeng Qi mutated after being injected with the medicine.

After reading the entire record, the expressions of the two of them can no longer be described simply as surprise.

Old Chen frowned, "Why have we never heard of such a big incident?"

Professor Wu: "Because they didn't report it to the higher authorities when the accident happened, but directly used force to destroy the mutant."

Old Chen: "They want to cover it up?"

Professor Wu nodded, "The higher-ups invested a lot of money in this project, but the research of the project failed. At this time, the person in charge of the project naturally had to find a way to conceal the matter. But they didn't expect that this experimental record would be I saw."

"During the entire drug development process, these people did countless experiments. Now the entire mental hospital is full of patients who have been injected with the drug. Some of them have even completed three injections. If the mutation happens again, we stay here It can only be sent to death."

"So I told Mr. Smith about it. He has already reported it to his superiors. After discussion, the group decided to destroy the laboratory. So we have to evacuate here tonight."

I didn't expect to hear such important news just by hiding in the laboratory and eavesdropping.Thinking about it, Su Ji squinted his eyes, it seemed that he had to advance his escape plan.

After listening to Professor Wu's explanation, the two nodded in unison, "Understood. Let's pack up now."

Professor Wu: "Make it more concealed, don't be discovered by them."

"Yes."

Seeing the three people busy in the laboratory, Heiqi consciously ducked back.

[What should we do now? 】

Looking at the line of words in front of him, Su Ji thought for a while and replied——

[Hiding first, wait for them to go out before making plans. 】

Black Flag:! ! !

Seeing this, the black flag hastily set down: [What should we do if we are discovered? 】

But Su Ji took out a pair of black hoods from the player's backpack and put them on his head. Immediately afterwards, his body was completely hidden in the air.

Black Flag: Stealth Hood!

How did he forget the invisibility props?

Thinking about it, Hei Qi quickly took out his invisibility cloak from his backpack and put it on.

Under the cover of invisibility props, even though Professor Wu and the two researchers searched the entire laboratory, they were not found.It was not easy for the three of them to leave before they dared to speak out.

Putting down the invisibility cloak on his body, Hei Qi let out a long sigh of relief: "I feel like I need some time to go through all the information."

"The secret laboratory on this island is actually invested by a mysterious group. The mental hospital is only the management party, and all the patients in the mental hospital are mice for them to test drugs. The ingredients of this drug contain mermaid cells , Once the patient is injected with the medicine, it will mutate. Is that right?"

Su Ji: "To be precise, it takes three injections to completely mutate, and the mutation is irreversible."

Black Flag nodded, his expression became more solemn, "If a player who is a patient accepts the injection of medicine without knowing it, the result will either go crazy or die, or mutate into a monster..."

Su Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "It's a good thing you didn't inject me with medicine. Otherwise, you would have become their accomplice."

Hearing that, Hei Qi glanced at him silently, "I didn't intend to inject you with medicine."

"Although I didn't know the effect of this potion at first, I also knew that it was not a good thing."

Su Ji: "Oh, your intuition is quite accurate."

Ignoring Su Ji's ridicule, Hei Qi asked seriously: "What should we do next? According to what the professor just said, this place will be destroyed in a short time."

Su Ji shrugged and said, "What else can I do? Let's run." After all, his main task has already been triggered.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of "beep!" in the ear——

[Congratulations to player Su Ji for successfully unlocking the main plot "Secret of the Mental Hospital", the current plot exploration rate is 90%. 】

[There is a secret laboratory in the underground of Wucheng Mental Hospital.The laboratory was funded and constructed by a mysterious group that used merman cells to develop a special drug with the purpose of modifying human's innate genetic defects.

These people use mental patients as guinea pigs to test the drug's effect on the human brain and mental illness.But I never thought that the medicine developed by the mermaid cells would cause irreversible genetic mutations in the human body.Those patients who had been injected with the drug before all died because they couldn't bear the genetic mutation.Only one patient named Zeng Qi successfully mutated into a man-eating monster.

The fact that medicine can turn people into monsters has been concealed by the vice president of the psychiatric hospital who manages the laboratory. It wasn't until Professor Wu, a cooperative consultant who gathered together, saw Zeng Qi's experiment records that he learned about it.

In order not to make the situation serious, Professor Wu reported to his superiors.As a result, the behind-the-scenes funder who learned of the incident finally decided to destroy the laboratory. 】

Hearing the sound, Su Ji raised his eyebrows.I didn't expect that the eavesdropping this time could push the exploration rate of the plot to 90% in an instant, which is really lucky.

However, before he could be more happy for a while, the next second the game notification sound made his mood take a turn for the worse——

【drop!Since the exploration of the main storyline reaches 90%, the game will passively trigger the escape mode after 12 hours. 】

[PS: In escape mode, the difficulty of the dungeon will increase by 50%.At that time, the patients in the mental hospital will mutate. 】

[Friendly reminder: For your personal safety, please complete the main mission "Escape from the Mental Hospital" as soon as possible. 】
