Chapter 267 Eyes
Chen Ling was stunned. He looked into the dormant chamber in astonishment, as if he wanted to verify whether he was hallucinating, but then a crisp sound came!
Snap——!!
All the circuits tripped instantly, and the entire Aurora Base fell into darkness!
This sudden change stunned all the white coats and law enforcement officers. They had lived in this base for so many years and had never experienced a power outage... After a brief pause, a commotion suddenly began to spread.
"What's going on?? Power outage?!"
"This is the Aurora Base! There are several backup power supplies. Even if one line is broken, it's impossible for all to be out of power!"
"Damn it! What happened?"
"Is it my illusion? A second before the power outage, I seemed to see Aurora's vital signs jump..."
"Wait, don't panic... It may be a sudden voltage change that has affected the machine..."
"The hibernation chamber where Aurora is located is powered by an independent battery. Even if the entire Aurora Base is out of power, it will work normally and it is impossible to affect it."
"..."
As everyone spoke, they hurriedly stood up and came to the glass observation room.
Due to a circuit failure, all the lighting in Laboratory 0 failed. In the abyss-like darkness, only the hibernation chamber where Aurora was located was still emitting a faint blue glow... At this distance, everyone couldn't see clearly
Chen Ling stood directly opposite Aurora, with a serious expression on his face.
He didn't know what happened, but the sudden power outage at the Aurora Base would inevitably lead to a thorough internal investigation, which meant that the matter of the three-layer sacrificial vessel would soon be exposed, and the entire base would then realize that there was an intruder here.
He didn't have much time left.
Chen Ling opened the lid on the top of the dormant chamber without hesitation, and conjured up a test tube in his palm like a magic trick, and began to collect the sample of the medicine injected into Aurora Jun's body. After completing all this, he fell back to the ground lightly.
His peripheral vision swept over Aurora Jun in the dormant chamber, and he was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, fine bubbles suddenly floated in the light blue liquid, and the white-haired figure floating upside down in the dormant chamber slowly opened his eyes...
At this moment, everything around Chen Ling seemed to have stopped.
In his field of vision, there was only a pair of eyes that flickered silently like the aurora, staring at him quietly. The indescribable sense of mystery impacted his reason, making him stand there in a daze for a while, forgetting to turn around and run away.
Chen Ling subconsciously blinked his eyes. When he came back to his senses, the white-haired figure still had his eyes closed, floating in the liquid of the dormant chamber, as if he was asleep.
Everything just now seemed to be just an illusion of Chen Ling.
Fine cold sweat oozed out of Chen Ling's forehead. He looked palely at the dormant chamber in the darkness, with an uncertain expression... Everything that happened just now was too real. Although he only looked at Aurora for less than a second, it seemed like several years to him.
And until now, he didn't know whether what he saw just now was real or an illusion?
Chen Ling didn't have time to think about it. He quickly rushed out of Laboratory 0. He first changed back to Tan Xin's appearance and prepared to pass the fourth checkpoint again to return to the third floor, but found that the chair at the door was empty. The red-haired woman who left seemed to have not returned yet, and no one knew where she went.
Chen Ling secretly rejoiced that he had escaped, and returned to the third floor in a flash. Fortunately, the lighting of the Aurora Base had not been restored at this time, and everyone was in chaos. He casually transformed into a white coat and easily blended in.
Just as he was looking for Jian Changsheng everywhere and preparing to take him out of the base, several figures in black windbreakers quickly came from the second floor.
"Search for me!"
Qiong Xuan's cold voice sounded in front of the passage, and many law enforcement officers quickly dispersed with kerosene lamps and began to search on the third floor. Seeing this, Chen Ling was forced to stop.
From the power outage, things were completely beyond Chen Ling's expectations... In his original plan, he could have collected the medicine specimens quietly and silently, and then retreated to the third floor with the help of Wuxiang, and took advantage of the law enforcement officers' failure to react to pick up Jian Changsheng, and escaped back to the surface without anyone noticing by relying on his position.
But once the power was cut off, the entire Aurora Base became alert, and Qiong Xuan's reaction was even more rapid. He decisively began to check the interior of the Aurora Base... At this time, it was already difficult to escape from the base in the chaos, not to mention that he had to take Jian Changsheng, who was not able to be phaseless.
After a brief thought, Chen Ling gave up the idea of escaping immediately. Now he could only hide his identity as much as possible, avoid the limelight, and then find a chance to leave.
Chen Ling crossed a corner, tore off his face when no one was paying attention, and turned back into the appearance of law enforcement officer Chen Xin, and began to search the third floor diligently. It can be seen that at this critical period, the power of law enforcement officers is still very large. Many white coats dare not move at this moment, so they stand quietly in place, waiting for them to search.
Seeing this, Jian Changsheng also silently closed the door and climbed back to his bed to pack mushrooms.
At the same time, in Laboratory No. 1.
The laboratory, which was originally extremely bright, was now extremely dim. Outside the closed laboratory door, one could hear a series of chaotic footsteps passing by, as if something had happened outside.
"Dr. Yi, aren't we going to stop?" A man in a white coat stood by the test bench, wiping his sweat as he asked.
"Once the experiment begins, it cannot be stopped." Dr. Yi held the bottle of wine, staring at the bloody test bench in the dark. "The body of this experimental subject is on the verge of collapse. If we stop now, he will die... Light the kerosene lamp for me and continue the experiment."
"But...but the machines are all powered off. We can't monitor his physical condition. How can we continue?"
"I said, continue!"
"...Yes."
Not everyone has as strong a psychological quality as Dr. Yi. At this moment, several white coats have begun to sweat in their palms. After all, there is a power outage and riots. No one knows what is happening in the base now...
The candlelight of the kerosene lamp swayed beside the test bench. The dim halo reflected a black weird creature that was no longer in human form. As their medicine was gradually pushed into its body, painful wails sounded from the creature's body, making people's scalps numb.
There were no machines, no lights, no external means or data to assist them in completing this experiment. For them, it was like blindfolding and performing an extremely precise surgery...
As they moved, the black creature on the test bench curled up in pain, and its wailing gradually weakened, as if it was about to die.
Dr. Yi sat aside and suddenly poured a mouthful of white wine into his mouth. The next moment, he spoke coldly and calmly:
"Inject three times the dose."
