Chapter 175: Mutated Spider

(7.21)
Recently, there had been a lot of problems with the ventilation ducts. This was already the seventh complaint.
I can’t delay any longer. If I don’t go and fix it tomorrow, the leader will probably find trouble with me.
T’ll just casually fix it.
[7.25]
This was already the third time. Every time, it was the ventilation ducts that had problems!
Just like the previous times, there was some sticky spider silk inside.
Although I reported it to my superiors, it didn’t seem to be of much use.
[7.26]
It’s only been half a day, and the ventilation duct was full of these sticky things again!
I spent a long time cleaning it up!
The sewage treatment area! That’s the source of all these problems!
That trash, Torre, took a month’s leave. Originally, he was in charge of the sewage treatment area.
T’m not going to that stinky place!
[8.1]
What’s going on? Emergency evacuation order?
Could it be that the biochemical virus has leaked?
Oh my god! I’ve never seen such a big spider!
It’s related to the biochemical virus!
Those b*stards! All the exits have been blocked by them!
Ican only try to leave through the ventilation duct.
This is my only chance to survive!
The contents of the notebook came to an abrupt end here.
Fang Heng handed the notebook to Lucia beside him and lowered his head in thought.
After playing the game for some time, he had a lot of understanding of items like the diary in the game.
Under normal circumstances, they would carry part of the information, which might even include a hint of a mission.
Currently, Fang Heng felt that this notebook gave him a total of three hints.
First, the source of the biochemical leakage incident in the Meteorite Company branch was most likely a mutated spider.
Second, the nest where the spiders first hatched was most likely the so-called dirty and smelly sewage treatment area in the diary.
As for the third…
Fang Heng raised his head and shone his flashlight on the ceiling above.
‘As expected, there was a ventilation duct above the corpse.
The iron railing of the ventilation duct had disappeared, leaving only a black hole entrance.
‘The mutated spider that they had just encountered was most likely using this ventilation duct as the passage.
After reading the diary, Lucia followed Fang Heng’s gaze and saw the passage in the ceiling.
Her pupils were once again shrouded in a layer of red light.
“Fang Heng, I saw a lot of spider webs inside…”
“and mutated spiders.”
Mmm.”
Fang Heng had already guessed it.
The next mission would most likely be related to mutated spiders.
Moreover, from the hint of the mission, they might have to enter through the ventilation duct!
Enter that d*mned place?
Fang Heng did not want to court death.
In such a narrow terrain, how could they still survive if they encountered mutated spiders?
One step at a time. For now, he shall focus on finding the T-virus.
First, he had to solve the problem of the ventilation duct.
Fang Heng used the iron nuggets to make an iron cover, then placed a few wooden frames on the spot.
The zombie clones picked up the iron cover and slowly climbed onto the wooden frames one by one. Then, they climbed to the entrance of the passage and blocked the passage with the iron cover.
Finally, they reinforced a few layers of the wooden planks back and forth.
“It should be able to hold on for a short time…”
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
After thinking for a while, he controlled another clone proliferator to stay on the spot as a ‘sacrifice’.
Once the ‘sacrifice’ was damaged, he could receive the message from the game log.
This way, he would be much safer.
As he continued to explore further, he wouldn’t be wrapped like dumplings by the mutated spider.
“Let’s go.”
Fang Heng and Lucia continued to move forward.
After walking along the straight passage for a while, Lucia stopped and pointed to the power distribution room next to her.
They had arrived.
Fang Heng took out the badge that belonged to Victor and swiped it in front of the power distribution room.
“Welcome, Mr Victor.”
Fang Heng pushed the door open.
The power distribution room was very safe.
He quickly looked at the layout of the room.
‘The entire power distribution room was divided into two rooms, the control room and the backup power room.
In the control room, there was a large monitor and a mechanical control panel.
In the back, the backup power room was filled with a backup generator set.
Fang Heng walked to the monitor and observed.
The monitor marked the distribution of power in each area of the experimental building.
Looking at the layout shown above, Fang Heng fell into deep thought.
“What’s wrong?”
“Do you think this area is a little strange?”
Lucia looked in the direction that Fang Heng was pointing.
She soon realized what was strange.
More than half of the third and fourth basement of the experimental building had been sealed off, forming a complete closed loop.
Lucia pointed at a point in the closed loop.
“This location is one of the emergency passages leading to Area D and Area S. I suspect that during the evacuation phase, the Meteorite Company may have sealed off all the entrances to Area S.”
Fang Heng had originally planned to directly destroy the backup generator set and create a large power outage.
Now, he was afraid that it would not work.
‘The G-virus experiment in the second basement was still ongoing. Once the power was forcefully cut off, Tyrant’s transformation would be stopped.
There was another reason…
Fang Heng reached out his hand and pointed at another location on the map.
“Lucia, look. The sewage treatment area is in this area. It’s very close to the entrance leading to Area S.”
Lucia also understood.
“Are you trying to say that the sealed area is to prevent the mutated spiders from escaping?”
“Yes, it’s very possible.”
If this guess was correct, once the power was tumed off, the originally sealed spiders would very likely completely lose control.
Each mutated spider was extremely powerful. It was unclear how many more mutated spiders were hidden within the Meteorite Company.
It would be troublesome if there were a large number of them.
“For safety reasons, turn off the power supply of the T-virus laboratory first to control the risk.”
Fang Heng walked to the control panel and controlled the mechanical control panel.
“The power distribution has been completed…”
It was done.
On the big screen, the area that was originally marked in red had tured dark, indicating that the power cut had been completed.
“Let’s go.”
Fang Heng and Lucia quickly returned to the entrance of the T-virus research room in the third basement.
The door to the room had been completely locked.
Fang Heng was already prepared. He waved his hand.
Dozens of zombie clones behind him rushed up. They raised the iron hammers in their hands and began to hit the door.
It took more than twenty minutes for the door to finally be broken open.
(Hint: You have dismantled the alloy door. You have received scrap metal*172, scrap alloy*34.]
“Fang Heng, be careful.”
‘The moment the door was broken open, Lucia’s red pupils suddenly contracted.
She immediately pulled Fang Heng back.
chil!
The next second, the brown mutated spider rushed out of the room.
It directly knocked away the two vine zombies that were shielding Fang Heng and pounced on Fang Heng.
Lucia took half a step forward and stood in front of Fang Heng. She raised her automatic rifle and pulled the trigger.
“Bang! Bang bang bang!”
“Squeak squeak!!”
The mutated spider was injured, and purple juice spurted out of its wound.
The powerful firepower forced the mutated spider to fly back into the darkness.
Fang Heng could not see clearly what was in the darkness, but he could hear the rapid sounds of friction coming from the room.
There were indeed mutated spiders in the T-virus research room!
And there was more than one!
