Chapter 2135 Ventilation
At the door, the two guards suddenly realized that a black fog had risen from somewhere and were instantly stunned.
"What"s going on?!"
The guards" initial reaction was to the black smoke emanating from the fire, and they all turned their heads to look at the gate.
"Is it on fire?"
Looking down, they saw a large amount of black smoke billowing out from the crack in the door!
"Bang!!"
Before the two could open the door to inspect, something from inside kicked the room door open first!
Instantly, thick black fog surged out from the doorway!
The black fog almost instantly obscured their vision.
The two guards quickly retreated backward.
"What?"
Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
The two of them were blocked by the black fog. They could only hear several sounds of wind coming from the black fog in front of them as if something was flying past them quickly!
"Bang!!!"
Then, a strong force surged over. The two guards felt as if something in the darkness had knocked them down heavily to the ground!
Lickers!
Within the black fog, the revived Lickers pounced on the guards, waving their claws and attacking.
The security guards did not even have the time to call for help before the Lickers killed them.
Fang Heng glanced at the dead guards on the ground, who were rapidly regenerating to form flesh coc.o.o.ns. He glanced at the two pa.s.sageways on both sides and then turned back to look at Mo Jiawei.
Mo Jiawei looked at Fang Heng in confusion, "Huh?"
"Which way?"
"No way. Our luck today is not that good either..." Mo Jiawei mumbled to himself and pointed helplessly, "The left side is where we just came from. Let"s go right."
"Let"s go!"
Fang Heng did not hesitate and immediately walked to the right.
At the same time, the thick black fog spread out from the narrow pa.s.sage to both sides!
With the cover of the black fog, the Lickers became even more difficult to deal with!
Originally, the research inst.i.tute had a high-level ventilation system.
However, because Fang Heng had destroyed the control of the ventilation duct, the ventilation system in some areas of the research inst.i.tute was temporarily shut down.
For a moment, the black fog spread rapidly!
....
In the monitoring hall of OmniTech Company"s North District headquarters, several security guards were drinking tea leisurely as usual, ready to wait for their shifts.
"Eh? What"s that?"
A security guard suddenly noticed something and stretched his neck forward, as if he wanted to see what was on the screen.
"That is..."
On the screen, a thick black fog was seeping out from the end of the pa.s.sage. In the blink of an eye, the black fog filled the entire pa.s.sage, completely blocking the camera and making it impossible to see clearly.
"Zi, zi zi..."
After the screen was completely enveloped by the black fog, it turned white in a few seconds.
"What was that thing just now? Did you see it?"
"Is it smoke? Where is the fire?"
Another security guard quickly checked the operation of the platform"s camera and frowned, saying, "There"s no fire. The fire protection system is normal. There"s no abnormal temperature. It"s just that the exhaust system is partially faulty. I"ve already asked someone to repair it..."
As he spoke, black fog appeared on the cameras on the big screen one after another, and then one by one, they turned white.
Everyone"s expression changed.
Something was wrong!
No matter how they looked at it, this black fog was abnormal!
"Report! There"s magnetic interference on a few cameras..."
"There"s a problem, hurry! Sound the alarm! Inform Supervisor Li!"
In just two minutes, the black fog had already spread out along the pa.s.sage!
A series of surveillance cameras along the way were affected by the black fog and failed one by one.
"Security team! An anomaly has been detected! Please proceed immediately to investigate Area A of the research inst.i.tute. There is suspicion of a possible intrusion event. The laboratory area is now in emergency mode. All exits are temporarily sealed. Evacuate personnel from external work areas!"
"Entering emergency mode!"
"Security confirmed!"
The guards in the entire building were immediately mobilized.
Area A was the outer area of the research area. It had not yet reached the core area, so the security was relatively average.
The captain of the OmniTech Company"s security team immediately led a team to investigate after receiving the alarm.
In a hurry, the captain of the guard team rushed to the entrance of Area A of the research area.
"Open the pa.s.sage!"
In front of them, the sealed entrance slowly opened.
Then, everyone saw a thick black fog rushing toward them from the pa.s.sage in front of the door!
What the h.e.l.l was that?!
"Go!"
Several guards braced themselves and held their shields as they stepped forward to guard the exit of the pa.s.sage.
The guards nervously looked at the black fog that was rapidly approaching from the pa.s.sage, their hearts in their throats.
An urgent shout came from the communicator.
"Coming! Security team! The black fog is coming towards you."
"I already saw it!"
"Be careful!"
In an instant, several guards holding shields in front of them were enveloped by a black fog, and their vision was instantly covered by the black fog!
"Chi, chi chi...!"
A strange sound came from the black fog.
What was it?
There seemed to be something in the black fog.
"Ah!!"
Immediately, the area shrouded in black fog was filled with the screams of his companions.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The captain could not see what it was, but he knew that something was wrong when he heard the scream. He immediately waved his hand and signaled his team members to retreat behind the black fog.
What the h.e.l.l! They had no idea what was inside the black fog!
The black fog quickly broke through the research inst.i.tute"s Area A and broke through to the outside world!
"Command room, activate all ventilation facilities to disperse the fog!"
The captain picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Quick! Retreat to the central hall! Break all the windows there!"
"Understood!"
The guards ran towards the central hall as if they were running for their lives, afraid that they would be completely swallowed by the black fog behind them if they were a step slower.
"Hurry up! Open the windows!"
When they arrived at the central hall, the captain shouted. He then raised his beam weapon and fired at the tempered gla.s.s window of the central hall!
Originally, the entire upper level of the research building was sealed off, and the tempered gla.s.s windows had never been opened for ventilation.
In a moment of desperation, he couldn"t care less and directly broke through with force!
The guards immediately raised their beam weapons and broke open the windows when they saw the situation.
"Bang! Bang Bang!!"
For a moment, the hall was filled with the sound of gla.s.s shattering.
Did it work?
After breaking all the visible windows, everyone turned around and looked at the pa.s.sage ahead.
The black fog in front of them gradually surged into the central hall!
It had dispersed!
Fortunately, the wind was strong on the higher floors!
The cold wind from outside poured into the building, and most of the black fog dissipated after entering the central hall. The concentration was greatly reduced.
At the very least, the guards could now see something through the black fog!
"Chi, chi chi..."
Suddenly, everyone"s heart skipped a beat.
They heard a familiar hissing sound coming from the black fog again.
The guard captain frowned, then he raised his hand and gave the command, "Attack!"
