1575 Negligence
“Cole, you won’t attack me after we leave this place, right?”
“Stop joking! This is an insult to my character!”
Cole was shocked when he saw Fang Heng’s gaze. He quickly raised his hands and shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he definitely meant no harm.
He had never thought of it that way.
What a joke, why would he have any thoughts of dealing with Fang Heng?
Taking a thousand steps back, Fang Heng could even kill Hell Faram. What good would it do to provoke him?
He was not an idiot!
“We are on the same boat. You have saved me more than once. I will definitely think of a way to bring you out of here.”
“So you have a way?”
Cole quickly thought about it and nodded. He said, “There is indeed a way, but it has to be done as soon as possible. We have to make arrangements before the people from the Revolution Society arrive.”
Fang Heng looked longingly at the corpse of Hell Faram on the ground. He decided to farm one last time and gather all the compound eyes that were of the highest quality.
“Soon, just wait a little longer, right away.”
“Brother, we really have to go. It’s going to be too late.”
…
Inside the underground secret research institute, Xiao Shaowen led the members of the Revolution Society behind him and carefully stayed in the passage, looking around.
In the beginning, the wall of flesh and blood completely blocked the entire passage.
They relied on the fluctuating power of the green crystal to slowly advance forward.
After more than two hours, they had only just entered the depths of the first floor.
Who would have thought that ten minutes ago, the Hell Faram would suddenly wither at a speed visible to the naked eye?
The party members noticed something strange and immediately did not dare to move.
In just a short moment, the wall of flesh completely withered and decayed.
The entire underground research area became empty, leaving only the remains of Hell Faram after it decayed.
The air was filled with a pungent smell.
What exactly happened?
Seeing this, Xiao Shaowen felt that something was wrong. He turned around and looked at Chen Ji, the senior consultant of the Revolution Society sent by the headquarters to assist him.
Chen Ji participated in Hell Faram’s research. He noticed the changes in the wall of flesh and blood around him, and his expression immediately became very ugly.
He could clearly see that this was the sign of Hell Faram losing its life force!
Dead?
Impossible!
Hell Faram’s adaptability to the environment greatly increased after fusing with Gluttony’s gene. Its vitality was also extremely strong, so how could it suddenly die?
Just because of the Fallen Ones who had just invaded the place?
Impossible!
They definitely couldn’t do it alone!
But how could Hell Faram have died?
Chen Ji was bewildered. He could not explain all of this, so he only whispered, “It seems like there’s a huge problem. Hell Faram is sealed in the sixth basement. We need to speed up and go down to see what’s going on.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Shaowen’s expression was solemn. He nodded and waved his hand to signal the team to move forward carefully.
Although he said that he would hurry, he did not dare to walk too fast.
The wall of flesh and blood retreated too suddenly.
What if it suddenly popped out again?
Everyone raised their vigilance and slowly moved forward.
After half an hour, everyone entered the sixth basement. This was the first time everyone had come here, and their eyes all revealed a shocked expression.
Since when did the sixth basement have such a huge karst cave?!
After entering the cave, there was wet mucus and pieces of dark-brown living tissue under their feet.
On a rock in the middle of the deep cave, Hell Faram had completely lost its life, leaving only its body after death.
Chen Ji stared at the wreckage. His face was pale and he could not believe his eyes.
Just like what he had thought!
Hell Faram was dead!
Who did it?
Who could have such strength?
It was Xiao Shaowen’s first time seeing Hell Faram. He turned to Chen Ji and asked, “How is it?”
Chen Ji was silent for a long time before his throat rolled and he said, “It has already lost its life force.”
“What?!”
Xiao Shaowen was surprised. He knew how much effort the Revolution Society had put in to nurture Hell Faram.
It actually died just like that?
“How did it die? What happened?”
Chen Ji was also confused. He took a deep breath and carefully walked forward to examine Hell Faram’s corpse, trying to figure out how it died.
Unfortunately, Hell Faram’s corpse decayed rapidly after death. It could no longer be considered a corpse. It could only be considered a partially decayed corpse.
There weren’t many clues.
Chen Ji quickly made a discovery.
Hell Faram had scars on its body. The wreckage had been touched. The more he searched through the remains of Hell Faram, the more shocked Chen Ji became.
The wounds on the surface were nothing to Hell Faram. With its vitality, it could quickly heal itself.
Based on his understanding of Hell Faram, he felt that Hell Faram’s death was caused by the loss of all its life force.
Xiao Shaowen walked to Chen Ji’s side and asked, “How is it?”
“There are traces of a battle on Hell Faram’s body, but the cause of death is still unknown.”
Traces of battle!
Hearing this, Xiao Shaowen was stunned. He instantly became alert and quickly looked around the cave.
Someone was here!
Hell Faram had died while they were entering the cave.
However, they did not encounter anyone from the moment the strange phenomenon occurred until they entered the cave!
Was there someone else hiding here?
No!
Xiao Shaowen suddenly thought of something, and his heart sank. He immediately turned to one of his subordinates and asked, “Did you see anyone else on the way here?”
When the team came, they went straight to the sixth basement, so they did not check all the laboratories.
He must have overlooked something!
The member of the Revolution Society who was caught by Xiao Shaowen was shocked and replied in a panic, “Sir, Team 3 found more than 20 researchers in the research area on the fourth floor. Some of them were injured, and a few were seriously injured and unconscious.”
“The few people who were seriously injured have just been taken to the medical building in the manor for emergency treatment. We have already asked carefully. After the abnormal movements in Hell Faram, all the researchers immediately hid in the safe house until we found them. They did not know what was happening outside.”
Xiao Shaowen’s expression suddenly changed, and he questioned sternly, “Where are they now?”
“Those with minor injuries are on standby on the first floor. The seven seriously injured should be in the medical building in the manor area.”
The Revolution Society was not proficient in treatment. According to the predetermined treatment procedures, the seriously injured would be sent to the medical building in the Snow Mountain Manor for emergency treatment. If they still could not be treated, they could only be sent to an external hospital.
“Have you confirmed their identities?”
The subordinate opened his mouth but was speechless.
There were only 20 or so researchers left in the research room. As the entire underground research institute had entered a state of emergency, the internal storage data had been locked, and some electronic machinery had been destroyed, they really had not confirmed the identities of these people one by one.
“Idiot! Hurry up and stop them!”
“Yes, sir!”
