Chapter 137 Evacuation

Chen Ming was awakened by the sound beside his ear.

When he just woke up and his head was still a little groggy, he thought he was hallucinating.

But when he was more awake, he realized that what he heard was real, as if it was a heavy beating sound coming from the abyss deep underground.

And this beating sound was accompanied by a dangerous but intimate spiritual energy fluctuation.

Chen Ming woke up instantly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"What's going on?"

He quickly checked the time.

It was five o'clock in the morning on Earth.

Since he was the only living person in the institute and Xiaoshi, a hamster, needed to rest, the living area was still dark at this time.

This added a bit of weird atmosphere to the sound from deep underground.

Chen Ming was not scared by such an environment.

When the entire institute was shaking due to the vibration caused by the beating sound.

He calmly turned on the lights in the living area, and immediately tried to sense his liar stone, which was located underground and seemed to be at the source of the sound.

The liar stone, which could be clearly sensed deep underground before, now seemed very vague to Chen Ming, as if there was a heavy layer between them.

There is a problem.

Chen Ming picked up the small stone lying on his pillow, which still looked like it had not woken up, and stuffed it into his arms.

He stood up and walked towards the central hall of the institute.

After Chen Ming walked out of the living area, he also found that the robots that usually followed him from a distance when he made any movement in various corners of the hall were all silent.

Standing there as if they had lost control.

Something bad seemed to have happened in the institute.

Chen Ming shouted directly: "Glorious!"

He waited for two seconds, but did not get any response.

"G3!"

Chen Ming shouted another way, but also did not get a response.

There was only a heavy sound and the vibration that came with it in his ears.

Seeing this, Chen Ming used his psychic power to contact Huihuang directly.

This time Huihuang responded very promptly: "Mr. Chen, is there something wrong so early?"

"?"

"Didn't you see the situation at the institute?"

Huanghuang sensed the emotions in Chen Ming's words and realized that something might have gone wrong with Chen Ming.

It immediately explained: "I still have work every day in other galaxies, and the institute will not remain closed 24 hours a day."

"Even if I want to, G3 will definitely not allow it, so I will only maintain a signal connection with the institute when you are awake and have a normal schedule."

"So I don't know what happened at the institute now."

Huanghuang's statement was indeed correct, so Chen Ming didn't dwell on this issue, and he didn't have time to dwell on it.

"Then take a look at what's going on here? Ask G3 if it's dead."

"Got it."

But immediately, Huihuang said: "No, I can't access the institute's network now."

"G3 didn't give you permission?"

"No, there is no signal, the communication network is disconnected or interfered with, I'm still trying to connect."

Huanghuang's words completely confirmed Chen Ming's guess, so he immediately said to Huihuang: "Don't try, there are violent spiritual energy fluctuations here that interfere with the communication signal."

"Go and find a way to notify your senior management, there must be a problem here in the institute."

Huanghuang temporarily stopped communicating with Chen Ming.

Chen Ming fell into a lonely situation again.

And the dull beating sound that kept echoing inside the institute also made him feel a tightness in his chest.

And this beating sound seemed to be gradually converging with Chen Ming's heartbeat frequency.

The feeling of vibration was also becoming clearer and clearer.

There must be something right below the institute.

But as far as Chen Ming knows, there are only a few spaces for storing giant mechanical bodies under the institute, plus the cloning institute deep underground.

When the giant mechanical bodies jumped out before, Chen Ming saw that there were some supporting maintenance and repair facilities in the place where they were stored.

But obviously, these facilities are definitely not the source of the current weird heartbeat and psychic fluctuations.

Then the answer is obvious.

Something must have happened in the cloning institute.

Huihuang seemed to have just told him two days ago that the cloning institute had cloned a thing with psychic power.

And he also watched the video that Huihuang saved at that time.

Chen Ming saw with his own eyes that the flesh and blood tissue with psychic power was taken out from the chest of his clone.

Wait, chest?

Heart?

When the deformed flesh and blood tissue was taken out before, Chen Ming's attention was attracted by its distorted appearance, and he didn't pay attention to what it was.

At the same time, he did not notice that it was twitching instinctively at that time, which was actually more like beating.

It was a deformed heart, not some deformed ordinary flesh and blood.

Chen Ming reacted completely at this moment.

What was beating under the institute, making violent noises and violent vibrations, was the heart.

After thinking of this, an inexplicable panic suddenly enveloped him.

Chen Ming felt that he could not stay in the institute any longer, and he had to leave immediately.

But at this time.

Huihuang contacted again and said: "We have sent a spacecraft to approach the institute, but the signal is still not connected, and we cannot contact you directly."

"I suggest you leave the institute first. As long as you don't fly out of the surface of the planet, other afterglow will not attack you."

"Got it."

Huanghuang's words coincided with Chen Ming's thoughts just now.

Chen Ming immediately took a step and ran out of the institute.

And since they were all leaving, Chen Ming simply did something on the way out.

He didn't do anything, just touched all the equipment he could touch along the way and marked them all.

Including the security system, various robots, and monitoring system of the institute, which he usually didn't touch.

These equipment, whether used to protect Chen Ming or the institute itself, are spread throughout the institute, and can be touched casually on the way out.

In this way, he can take these equipment away at any time through his ability in the future.

As long as he finds a suitable colony, he can build a new institute on the spot.

And this whole process is controlled by Chen Ming because the monitoring equipment is also completely controlled by Chen Ming, and now the institute is isolated from external signals, so no evidence will be left.

Besides, Chen Ming is just marking now, not saying that he will take things away now, and there will be no impact at all.

So much so that Chen Ming wanted to send away the most valuable Qiling Neural Extractor in the underground at this time.

It is achieved by relying on his [Transformation] ability, the only way to transform without him completely mastering the relevant transformation technology.

When Chen Ming's transformation ability is being transformed, he only needs to replace parts, and Chen Ming happens to have the real parts to be replaced.

The transformation ability only requires Chen Ming to know which parts to replace before he can modify them, without having to understand the more complex technology inside.

The concept of parts is magnified to equipment, and the situation is the same.

Chen Ming can directly treat the existing spiritual nerve extractor as part of the ship's equipment and directly transform it to any of his ships with free space.

And his psychic power is ineffective for any living thing, and only the effective part will be taken away when transporting materials.

So he doesn't have to worry that his psychic power will cause the "things" underground to spread out.

But Chen Ming thought about it and didn't do it.

Because it is not sure whether the underground monitoring equipment is still working.

Before the last day of Chen Ming's plan comes, it is better to keep this critical ability to directly control equipment without a ship.

Let's forget about the equipment for the time being.

There is only one life, but Yu Hui definitely found more than one device from the ruins of another civilization.

Chen Ming quickly sorted out his thoughts and left the institute without any regrets.

Including the time of touching the equipment and running away, it took less than two minutes in total.

It can only be said that the security system monitoring system of the institute is basically a complete set. If Chen Ming touches a place, it is equivalent to marking the entire system by Chen Ming, which is very convenient.

However, in these two short minutes, the danger and panic in Chen Ming's perception became more and more intense.

He did not dare to stay any longer, and quickened his movements. When he ran to the door of the dome outside the institute, he made a set of protective clothing on his body.

At the same time, he also replaced the Buffalo with a military weapon he picked from his own reserves.

When the power grid of the Buffalo spacecraft was almost overloaded, it barely blew open the dome door without afterglow control and protection.

In the fierce airflow, the Buffalo took Chen Ming to the spacecraft.

The spacecraft instantly rose, allowing Chen Ming to completely stay away from the institute.

As the vibration of the ground disappeared and the heartbeat in his ears stopped, Chen Ming's chest tightness was instantly relieved to a considerable extent.

Now, only the psychic fluctuations that made him feel complicated were still appearing periodically.

However, if it was just psychic fluctuations, it would not be a big deal for Chen Ming, who had been exposed to the extreme psychic pulses of the Liar Stone for a long time.

Just when Chen Ming was thinking about where the Buffalo-class should go next.

He suddenly saw an engineering ship with afterglow approaching in the air in the distance.

However, this engineering ship did not intend to attack Chen Ming, and it seemed that it just wanted to land at the research institute.

Chen Ming tried to send a communication request, but the psychic fluctuations near the institute still interfered with the communication signal, and the range of existence was still very large.

There was no way to make contact at all.

Moreover, the flight trajectory of this spacecraft was quite fixed and rigid. It should be relying on the system inside the spacecraft to drive automatically. It would be meaningless to make contact.

I don’t know what the use of landing such a spacecraft that should have been considered lost to Yu Hui is.

And just when this engineering ship approached the institute at a certain distance.

Suddenly, an electromagnetic pulse accompanied by a surge in psychic fluctuations swept across the periphery of the institute.

The Buffalo class driven by Chen Ming and the engineering ship he just saw were affected by the electromagnetic pulse.

Fortunately, Chen Ming reacted very quickly and repaired the damage of the Buffalo class in an instant. The spacecraft shook twice in the sky and returned to normal.

But the engineering ship obviously did not receive such treatment.

Under the influence of the electromagnetic pulse, sparks broke out everywhere on the spacecraft, and the engine also shut down, and it crashed directly next to the institute.

Yu Hui's engineering ship was still of good quality, and the height of the engineering ship when it fell was not too high.

After falling like this, only the bottom layer and the bottom armor on both sides were partially damaged.

Overall, it looked like there was no big problem.

Moreover, the direction from which this engineering ship came was exactly the direction of the entrance and exit of the cloning institute underground in the institute that Huihuang had told him before.

So Chen Ming took advantage of the situation and landed next to the engineering ship.

After Chen Ming confirmed that there was no danger around, he quickly got off the spaceship.

Before he felt the heartbeat and vibration causing chest tightness, he quickly touched the engineering ship, and then immediately returned to the Buffalo class.

The Buffalo class took off again, and Chen Ming also relaxed a little and looked at the situation of the engineering ship.

As he thought, there was no Yu Hui individual on the spaceship, and it was purely operating according to the set navigation plan.

In the computer of the spaceship, Chen Ming found the only document.

It seems that this document was given to him.

After all, Yu Hui knew his ability and knew that he would definitely be able to touch the spaceship.

As long as he had contact with the spaceship, he would definitely be able to see the document.

As for the content of this document.

It was basically a bunch of nonsense.

It didn't explain the most critical thing, what happened underground in the institute, at all, and it was not as good as what Huihuang told him.

In short, Yuhui's meaning was that the institute was now in danger, but they had no way to investigate and rescue this area disturbed by strong psychic fluctuations for the time being.

Chen Ming could only find a way to withdraw by himself.

Chen Ming knew that high-intensity psychic fluctuations would affect Yuhui, causing redundant data in their logic modules, and eventually leading to Yuhui's death.

So Yuhui couldn't be rescued and had to run away by himself, which was still within his expectations.

It was the prison guards who asked the prisoners to run to a safe place by themselves that made Chen Ming a little nervous.

In short, the withdrawal must be withdrawn, and Chen Ming would not do something to seek death for no reason.

Continuing to stay at the institute was obviously a suicidal act.

But having said that.

Chen Ming still wanted to find out what happened underground in the institute.

Especially the fact that the source of this incident was him, which made him want to find out the whole story.

In addition to the deformed heart that fell from his clone, and the psychic fluctuations that exuded a sense of danger and closeness.

All of these attracted Chen Ming to understand and deal with this matter.

And if Chen Ming continued to fly out in the direction of the crashed engineering ship.

He would definitely see the entrance and exit of the cloning institute first, and then go out to the place where the interference from the underground institute could not affect.

So no matter how you look at it, his subsequent actions would not be able to bypass the cloning institute, and he would definitely witness the situation of the cloning institute with his own eyes.

Since this is the case, Chen Ming just went with the flow.

He took the spaceship that was delivered to his door directly.

After quickly repairing it through his ability, the engineering ship took off again and caught up with the Buffalo class.

Before the second wave of electromagnetic pulses arrived in the underground of the institute, it flew out of the area around the institute and flew towards Chen Ming's target.

But surprisingly, before Chen Ming saw the entrance and exit of the underground cloning institute, the interference in the communication had disappeared.

These psychic fluctuations that interfered with the communication signal seemed to exist only in the underground of the institute and did not affect the entrance and exit of the institute.

Chen Ming just found that the communication signal had returned to normal, and the communication came through brilliantly.

It asked in a businesslike manner: "Mr. Chen Ming, how are you now?"

Chen Ming thought for a moment, and said sarcastically: "If you think it's good that I was woken up by something you made before dawn, then it's good."

"..."

Huanghui knew that Chen Ming was not targeting it, so it was very patient and wanted to try to appease Chen Ming.

Of course, it was still reporting to Chen Ming in real time the information they had found out from Yuhui.

But it was only a few minutes before and after, and what Huihui knew was no different from before.

At most, he knew that their top management had already arranged a follow-up plan to investigate and deal with the cloning institute.

So Chen Ming took advantage of this time to speed up.

On the surface, he was hurrying to get away from the institute, but in fact he was looking for the entrance and exit of the cloning institute to prevent Yuhui from letting him run around when the communication was restored.

But Chen Ming didn't need to look for it.

Because he had just flown out for a short while, he had already seen a group of extremely bright blood-red biological tissues suddenly appearing on the gray and uneven ground.

Although this mass of flesh and blood tissue does not have any spiritual energy fluctuations, its current location and its sudden appearance here all indicate its specialness.

Then under this huge biological tissue, there is a high probability that it is the passage leading to the research institute.

When seeing this mass of flesh and blood tissue.

Chen Ming took a few photos of it and at the same time completely confirmed the idea in his mind.

Sure enough, there was a problem with Yu Hui's cloning experiment on him, and it was probably caused by the mass of spiritual energy deformed flesh and blood tissue in the video that Huihuang showed him a few days ago.

So since the cloning institute is now out of touch, and Huihuang also said that G3 was also down there, it is very likely that something has happened.

The loss of an Alpha-level Yu Hui is also a very rare thing in this non-large-scale battle.

Although G3 does have the possibility of survival.

However, Chen Ming looked at the mass of flesh and blood tissue squirming out of the underground passage on the ground not far away, which was still growing and completely squeezing out the surrounding gray soil, and it seemed to have extremely strong vitality.

Chen Ming felt that there was not much hope.

The surface is so crowded, the underground should be even worse.

And it is this scene that makes Chen Ming know why cloning experiments are completely banned in the empire.

Now Yuhui has lost an Alpha-class Yuhui.

But if it is on the human side, it is very likely that a senior research team will be lost.

Or even more than one.

Some research institutes are not necessarily separate buildings, but share a building with other different research institutes, which will definitely cause greater harm.

But what happened below is still a mystery.

At this time.

A Yuhui engineering ship appeared in Chen Ming's field of vision again.

Although this is an engineering ship, it is visible to the naked eye that a weapon is installed on the front side of the ship, and it is also aimed directly at the location of the underground cloning institute.

After completely locking the target, the engineering ship opened fire.

Chen Ming can see with his naked eyes that there is a line in the barrel of the engineering ship connected to the thing it fired.

And using the buffalo-class sensor, Chen Ming can see clearly what the engineering ship fired.

It was a steel nail as thick as an arm.

It went straight into the deep underground.

It penetrated through countless soil and rock layers and inserted into the research institute.

Huihuang explained to Chen Ming just right: "It emits a data beacon anchor point."

"After hitting, it can read the data inside all devices covered by its signal coverage."

"The wired connection at the tail can help it resist the interference of the institute's psychic fluctuations."

"It is usually more valuable to use it in the rescue of underground industrial facilities."

"It is a test product that was just developed some time ago. I proposed the design idea."

"At present, all planets with underground workplaces in the star field have prepared this kind of thing."

Chen Ming said casually: "I guess it was the previous mining field that gave you this idea."

"Yes."

It's a good thing that Huihuang didn't make this thing before, otherwise if Yuhui came up and made such a thing and entered his collapsed mining field.

Then Chen Ming's ability would be exposed in advance, and all plans would be ruined.

However, this thing also has its disadvantages, because it is forcibly shot deep underground.

This means that it is very likely to cause damage to the place it hits.

If it is just for rescue, such things that may cause secondary damage will generally not be used.

There must be a more optimized product before it can be brought out.

The reason why they are now taking out something that is only in the testing stage is probably because the current situation is very wrong, and Yu Hui urgently needs such a thing to help them obtain information.

But Chen Ming felt that this thing seemed to have some potential for being used as a weapon, and he could talk to Huihuang about it later.

Of course, it was not the right time yet.

After the engineering ship fired the beacon into the institute, it had already begun to read the data of various devices underground in the institute.

And sent these data directly to Huihuang, the second responsible individual of the institute.

However, this process ended soon because the beacon was suddenly destroyed by something in the institute.

But fortunately, all the results of the investigation had been obtained.

Huihuang also showed all the data files to Chen Ming.

From the second deformed heart cultivated by G3, to the hearts of other clones breaking out of the body, to the hearts of the corpses also beginning to show signs of life.

And the flesh and blood tissues that appeared in the room where G3 was installed at the end completely connected the whole thing.

The situation was already very obvious.

There was an accident in the experiment, and all the clones that Yu Hui had originally stored became the seedbed of this kind of psychic creature formed by the deformed heart of humans.

Chen Ming now understands better why the empire banned cloning experiments so strongly.

If this situation really happens, it is definitely not a problem of a scientific research building.

It is a problem of the entire research park, the entire city, and even the entire planet.

If the person handling this matter is slow to respond, the planet may fall completely.

Moreover, these things are psychic creatures. Although it can be seen from the fact that G3 easily killed several of them with fire before, their individuals are relatively fragile.

But once the number increases or there is no targeted means, it is also very terrifying.

Moreover, the number of psychics has always been relatively small, and it is impossible to take care of every place.

It is normal to not be able to respond in time when facing these cloned psychic creatures.

I am afraid that similar things have happened in the empire.

And the final loss must be unacceptable.

As for what happened during the period of cloning experiments in the human empire, whether it is the same as what Yuhui is facing now, these two questions have not been answered for the time being.

But Chen Ming has sent the photos he just took to the boss by transforming the storage module. If the boss knows about this, there should be a result soon.

As for now, Chen Ming asked Huihuang; "So what are you going to do?"
