Chapter 29 Pandora

The cold wave is coming.

It is not only the rangers who stick to their posts.

Deep in the Jinghu Forest, in the small garden workstation, the recent research has reached a critical moment.

Because the workstation is built underground and has a lot of investment from the Disaster Prevention Bureau, no matter how icy and snowy it is outside, as long as the energy system is still operating normally, the workstation is in a state of spring all year round.

The door of the lounge opened, and He Zhili, wearing protective clothing, walked out quickly.

His gray hair was a little messy, his eye bags were heavy, and the fatigue on his face could not be concealed.

He worked until the early morning before lying down to rest, but before three hours had passed, the emergency communication from the laboratory woke him up from his sleep.

Holding a cup of black coffee for refreshing, tilting his head and wearing Bluetooth headphones, he just took a few steps and saw that another lounge next to him had also opened its door. A young researcher with a chicken coop head staggered out with research documents in his arms, obviously just woke up.

"Xiao Luo, you can't be so impatient."

He Zhili coughed twice to indicate his presence, and then said with a smile.

"Sorry to make you laugh, tutor. I dreamt last night that our research had made a breakthrough. I just received an emergency communication. Tutor, the laboratory said that Pandora's characteristics have changed abnormally. What do you think is the reason?"

Luo Xingjie scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and couldn't help asking.

The current research focus of the workstation is this special existence code-named "Pandora". The various characteristics it has shown in the research process have even broken through the existing natural laws.

All researchers in the workstation are waiting to unveil the mystery of Pandora. No matter how much effort they put in, it is worth it.

"Judging from the current situation, I think Pandora's growth cycle has reached a new stage. Remember our recent investigation of the environment around the workstation? The transport team provided us with more detailed information two days ago."

Taking a sip of black coffee, He Zhili expressed his opinion after thinking for a while, and then added,

"We discovered that there were large-scale plant and animal mutations in the area of ​​Pandora, and they generally showed enlarged body size and deformed limbs. Now I think that it should be caused by some energy particles or radiation spread by Pandora during its development."

"It's a pity that the cold wave came too fast. Our investigation team only collected a small part of the samples. The outside has become a world of ice and snow, and there is no way to go out. I went up to take a look yesterday. The momentum of the blizzard is really exaggerated and terrifying."

"According to the information from the General Administration of Disaster Prevention, this cold wave will last for about a week, and there are still five days. Let's endure it first."

Although the intensity of the cold wave is terrifying, it does not last long, which is a blessing in disguise.

In between talking, the two walked into the elevator to the floor where the laboratory is located.

When they walked into the laboratory, they were surprised to find that the atmosphere here was particularly dull, and there was no joy of a breakthrough in research.

Several researchers who had contacted them earlier were sitting in chairs, some covering their foreheads, some lost in thought, and their mental states were a little sluggish, as if they had suffered some kind of spiritual shock.

"Why are they all in this state? Is there something wrong with Pandora?"

He Zhili looked at the experimental cabin where Pandora was, and noticed that the outer wall of the cabin had been closed, and he could not see the situation inside clearly. He frowned and looked at the researcher next to him and asked.

"At 8:35 this morning, Pandora's embryo showed abnormal movement. Fifteen minutes later, the embryo underwent abnormal changes. I can't describe the process of its mutation in words. Its current properties are completely different from when we discovered it. More importantly, its current state seems to have a certain degree of impact on people's spirits if observed with the naked eye, so I suggest you wear it."

The researcher described everything that had just happened, and picked up a special pair of goggles and handed it to He Zhili.

"Will observing Pandora have an impact on the mind?"

Having captured the key information mentioned by the researcher, He Zhili asked in surprise. Seeing the former nod seriously, he chose to put on goggles and walked towards the experimental cabin.

At the same time, the researcher signaled others to turn around, and he put on goggles and walked to the operating table to open the cabin wall.

As the experimental cabin wall slowly rose.

A group of colors that were difficult to describe in words suddenly appeared on the surface of He Zhili's goggles.

As the battlefield of the small garden workstation, He Zhili, who was already full of enthusiasm for research, immediately took two steps forward and locked his sight on Pandora, who had completely changed into another existence in the cabin wall.

He Zhili had various assumptions about Pandora's changes, and this degree of change still exceeded his expectations.

After the sudden change in form, Pandora was unusually active, and seemed to be eager to do something. He Zhili looked at the colors squirming close to the experimental cabin wall and vaguely realized that something was wrong.

The situation was out of control not only at the small garden workstation.

A large farm outside Danhang City.

An escape is taking place in the greenhouse.

The emergence of extreme weather has increased the work pressure of farmers. The greenhouse needs to be patrolled regularly to ensure that it will not be damaged by wind and snow. During the inspection, something strange happened!

The farmer, wearing thick cold-proof clothing, ran between the wooden frames wrapped with tomato vines, his face full of fear, grabbing the walkie-talkie in his hand and shouting,

"It's coming, the human-faced demon bird. No. 3 greenhouse, come and save me!"

Recently, many farms outside Danhang City have been attacked by the human-faced demon bird. So far, more than thirteen people have been attacked, dragged into the air by it, and finally disappeared in the depths of Jinghu Forest.

I thought the arrival of the cold wave would temporarily stop this horrific attack.

I didn't expect this monster to appear here in the wind and snow!

The panicked farmer was tripped by the fertilizer bags placed between the ridges while running, and the whole person fell forward to the ground.

When he got up in a panic, what appeared in his field of vision were two claws clasping the top of the wooden frame, with a long tail hanging in the middle.

A pair of black wings spread out, and the hideous face that people dared not look directly at leaned forward.

"Me, don't kill me, let me go."

The farmer knelt down and trembled, trying to beg for mercy, but what he saw was the strange colors surging in the dark blue eyes of the monster.

Outside the greenhouse.

The farm guards who received the rescue message rushed to the scene.

After all, they were still a step late.

They could only watch a black shadow tear the roof of the greenhouse, flap its wings to rise into the wind and snow at high altitude, and disappear in the blink of an eye.

After firing several shots without any results, the captain seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask the team members,

"Haven't we installed positioning devices on the uniforms of all staff recently? Can it be detected?"

The occurrence of dozens of missing incidents forced the Disaster Prevention Bureau to install positioning devices on the farmers working on the farm, so that they can immediately lock the position of the attacker after an attack.

"Report to the captain, the signal can still be detected for the time being, and the target is moving deep into the Mirror Lake Forest!"

The team members quickly gave the answer.

As for why it is temporary, it is because the blizzard will interfere with signal reception.

Once the target is out of range, the positioning device will lose its function.

"Contact the Disaster Prevention Bureau or the Forestry Bureau. I am afraid that the only ones who can track the human-faced owl now are the forest rangers!"

Currently, the only ones stationed near Jinghu Forest are the forest rangers, and this is their last hope to track the human-faced owl.
