CHAPTER 880: CHAPTER 210: I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ITS PERSON...

"Where are we going?"

The group of survivors quickly recovered from their brief surprise, knowing now was not the time for excitement. During their captivity, they were fed well. Judging solely by the food, perhaps their captors were good people.

But no one among those taken away ever returned.

As for what happened...

It’s clear they must have met a tragic end.

"Let’s go this way. I remember when they came, they came from that direction. If we go this way, we can avoid them. Once we’re outside, we’ll be safe."

The clever one said.

Many agreed with his words.

Bang bang...

There was a commotion from the ceiling.

Everyone looked up, their faces full of doubt, uncertain about the sound.

At this moment, they were like startled birds, trembling at the slightest noise.

Under the lead of the clever one, they walked toward the front of the corridor.

Those trailing behind were extremely cautious, looking around nervously.

But... the survivor at the very back was unaware that above him, a tentacle was slowly hanging down, resembling a nimble python.

Sticky liquid slowly dripped onto this survivor’s head. Perhaps sensing something, he raised his head in confusion.

But the moment he looked up, his fate was sealed.

This kind of terrifying incident is commonplace in films—those at the back often meet a grim fate. They are prey walking in the light, and the Hunter lurking in darkness loves to torment its prey slowly.

The escapee group lacked one person, yet no one noticed.

It’s really frightening.

At this moment.

Qin Ling rushed toward the location of the helicopter with Professor Jin, but what they didn’t expect was that all the necessary paths there had been destroyed. Scarlet flesh and tentacles moved through the corridors, blocking every exit.

"Mr. Qin, it seems to want to force us to go where it wishes."

Professor Jin feared the intelligence of the Mother organism. If it wanted them dead, there had been many opportunities. But from the beginning until now, it kept directing them to a certain location.

"What about the released survivors?" Qin Ling hoped they would help divert the Mother organism, but given the situation now, it seems unlikely.

Professor Jin said, "If the Mother organism lacked intelligence, I think they might lead it away. But now..."

He knew it was impossible.

In his research, he discovered the evolving Mother organism was terrifying. According to human evolution, humans remain unchanged over thousands of years—no sudden tails or wings growing.

But the evolving Mother organism was different. It had strong adaptability, excellent fusion, and would perform perfect combinations. Now with intelligence appearing, he suspected some substance introduced during previous research caused a perfect evolution?

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

"I only want to know how to deal with it now?"

Qin Ling was finding it hard to stay calm—anyone would panic under such circumstances.

Professor Jin pondered deeply, suddenly had a flash of insight, "Got it. The serum is our latest research result, capable of giving ordinary humans zombie-like abilities. Though there’s a chance of failure, right now, we have no choice."

"Go, get the serum."

Qin Ling acted decisively.

Under the current circumstances, is there another way? Call Lin Fan for help via satellite phone?

Don’t be ridiculous.

He knew the opposition only wanted to find him and kill him. Seeking help would only lead to a dead end—no chance of survival.

But now... he had a chance to fight.

Heading toward the route to retrieve the serum.

Along the way, Professor Jin found the Mother organism was far scarier than he imagined. The flesh size was unimaginably large, and its tentacles seemed limitless, distributed in every conduit of the base.

It could be said... the Mother organism had already taken over here. It could sense everything that happened. If it wanted to kill them, it would be easy. So far, it was simply driving them to a specific area.

What does it want to do?

Professor Jin couldn’t figure it out.

With the lines destroyed by tentacles, the surrounding lights flickered, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"Hello..."

"Huh?"

Professor Jin shivered, startled by Qin Ling’s sudden voice, "Mr. Qin, what’s the matter?"

"Stop daydreaming, let’s go."

They had already arrived at the electronic door, and Qin Ling skillfully opened it, stating the opening password ’Peppa Pig celebrates New Year.’

’Ding!’

The door opened.

Qin Ling walked inside, finding the serum Professor Jin mentioned. As he grabbed the serum, noise came from the ceiling again. With a crash, the metal-secured ceiling cracked open, revealing red flesh moving through the gaps.

"Let’s go."

Qin Ling grabbed the box containing the serum without second thoughts and quickly left.

His mood was heavy; evidently, he hadn’t expected this to happen. This base was his foundation in the apocalypse. Other bases seemed accessible, but in reality, were very dangerous.
