Chapter 847: Heart In The Ruined Building (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This shocked the two of them—
“That heartbeat…”
Li Yao subconsciously lowered his head to look at his heart. Then, he realized that his chest was beating abnormally fast and clearly.
He hurriedly looked at Tang Tian. He realized that Tang Tian was the same.
“This…’
“There’s a problem! Retreat first!”
Tang Tian also realized that something was wrong.
It was mainly because this was too strange.
Moreover, their bodies had also undergone such a change. They had no choice but to go out.
However, it was a little late to think of leaving at this time.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw that the path they had come in from was blocked by a large amount of thick blood.
Yes, it was blood that blocked the way out.
Although there was nothing in front of them, the blood seemed to be blocked by something. It only blocked the two of them at the entrance of the elevator and did not drown them.
“This!”
Even though the two of them felt that they were experienced and knowledgeable, they were still shocked by the scene in front of them.
“We can’t get out?!”
Tang Tian did not speak. Instead, he took out a puppet from his spatial bracelet and threw it into the blood before him.
Then, he took out a small instrument.
At first, there were no problems with the various lights and data on the instrument.
Just as Tang Tian felt that he could relax a little and planned to rely on the energy shield to force his way out of the blood, he saw the instrument in his hand suddenly emit smoke.
“What’s that?”
“A miniature doll. There’s a Level 4 Physical Protection Shield on the outside and some structures imitating the basic needs of humans inside to investigate some dangerous places.”
Hearing Tang Tian’s words, Li Yao looked at the blood curiously.
As an outstanding researcher of mutant ability items, Li Yao had never seen such a thing.
The Truth Corporation also had such a mutant ability item, but it was only a remote-controlled device. At most, they would add some sensing techniques so that mutants could control it remotely without using tools. However, they would not really make a puppet out of it.
From the looks of it, this should be a product from the Western Continent…
This was a novel way of thinking.
Of course, now was not the time to talk about this. At this moment, their situation was a little dangerous…
If they did not handle it well, they would be doomed if they were not careful.
“What do we do now? Go up?”
Li Yao looked at the top of the elevator shaft, his expression flickering.
After throwing away the broken instrument in his hand, Tang Tian closed his eyes and contacted the Metal Devouring Flood Dragon.
Tang Tian couldn’t help but frown when he heard the Metal Devouring Flood Dragon’s description of the elevator shaft.
“How’s it?” “It’s… very empty up there!”
“Empty?”
“Yes, a very large s.p.a.ce was dug out. As for the others, the Metal Devouring
Flood Dragon hasn’t discovered anything unusual for the time being.”
“Then—”
“Go up!”
Tang Tian’s tone was very firm.
Li Yao immediately nodded.
The two of them immediately took out something that looked like a balanced car from their spatial bracelets and stepped on it. Then, a soft buzzing sound sounded, and the two of them began to fly up at a uniform speed.
After flying about twenty stories high, they saw the Metal Devouring Flood Dragon’s tail with the light in their hands.
At this moment, the two of them felt their heartbeats becoming more and more obvious.
The rise and fall of their chests became faster and faster.
After releasing the Werewolf Scout, Li Yao looked at his chest and then at the Werewolf Scout.
“Do you feel anything unusual in your body?” The Werewolf Scout shook his head.
This made their expressions turn ugly.
In other words, this abnormality was only targeted at humans?
But now, other than being able to see the rise and fall of their chests and hear their heartbeats gradually becoming faster, there was nothing unusual.
Tang Tian and Li Yao used instruments to check their bodies.
Even their heart rates were normal.
In other words, the accelerated heartbeat did not affect their bodies at all. But that didn’t make sense.
Tang Tian held the flashlight and looked at the surroundings that seemed to have been hollowed out by something, but there was nothing.
“Light up the whole place!”
Tang Tian gritted his teeth and took out three white fluorescent crystal cores from his spatial bracelet.
Then, he took out three lamps and installed them around the elevator shaft.
After coming up from the elevator shaft, the surrounding area was completely empty, as if they had arrived at the rooftop.
However, Tang Tian had clearly seen just now that there was clearly a floor a few meters above them!
After placing the three light-element crystal cores into the lamps, the three crystal cores that were originally emitting a faint fluorescent light suddenly became bright.
It made this dark floor as bright as day.
Moreover, the light was very gentle, and the two of them did not feel that it was dazzling at all.
After getting used to the light, Tang Tian looked around.
“Holy s.h.i.t! ”
Li Yao’s sudden exclamation made Tang Tian look over. Then, he saw a scene that he would never forget—
An incomparably huge heart was placed in the center of this floor.
There were blood vessels that were thicker than sewer pipes around, drawing blood from all directions and transporting it out.
However, looking at the blood vessels rooted in the floor, the two of them could not figure out where the blood came from.
“What the h.e.l.l is this?!”
“What’s got a heart that big?”
Looking at the beating heart dozens of meters away, Li Yao cursed.
This thing was the size of a small house.
Tang Tian also took a few deep breaths to suppress the fear in his heart.
At the same time, he looked around.
Only then did he realize that this floor was six to seven meters tall.
He had been to such a building in the Central Province before. Normally, a floor this height could be divided into three levels.
However, there was only one floor here.
Moreover, the surrounding gla.s.s was tightly covered.
This was also why it was still extremely dark inside even though it was clearly daytime outside.
Obviously, there were traces of other people here! This heart might not be the work of a mutated beast…
“d.a.m.n it, why don’t… we go down?”
“How do we get out of here?”
Thinking of the strange blood in the hall on the first floor, Li Yao shut up.
d.a.m.n it, why did they encounter such a f*cking thing?
Just as the two of them were in a dilemma, a considerable commotion came from the heart.
One of the blood vessels suddenly swelled up and exploded, causing a certain amount of blood to burst out.
However, after wrapping the blood for a few seconds, it seemed to have a life of its own. It began to squirm on the ground and slowly condensed into a human figure.
This scene immediately alerted the two of them. At the same time, the two beasts were prepared to attack.
At this moment, the human-shaped blood completely took shape.
“Suck, suck-”
“Not bad, it’s the smell of fresh blood-”
“And two strong men at that.”
Hearing the praise from the b.l.o.o.d.y man, the two of them immediately felt their scalps tingle.
This thing… seemed to be a mutated beast?!
B-but how could there be such a mutated beast?!
The two of them were not ignorant and incompetent sc.u.m.
At the very least, they had knowledge of most of the mutated beasts. Moreover, they also had some corresponding information on some rare mutated beasts. However, they had never seen any mutated beast appear in this form!
A heart… and blood that could transform into a human form…
“What… what are you?”
“I’m not a thing. I’m—a person!”
Their brains were almost overloaded.
“You don’t believe me? Let me tell you, are you… from Jiangzhou City or
Qingquan City?”
“Is Liu Gang still alive?”
“Oh, I think he’s alive. There was such a big commotion a few days ago. Only he has that kind of boldness. The others are all cowards.’
Hearing the words coming out of the b.l.o.o.d.y man’s mouth, the two of them were shocked.
Is this… really a human?!
