This time, luck was really good enough. When Zhao Zhu and Fan Pian returned to the human activity area from the wild again, they didn't encounter any variant humans or other dinosaurs. However, when they came to an inconspicuous flower bed, Fan Pian took out the package that he had hidden in advance, and both of them were stunned.
Everything else is fine, some test tubes are also intact, but the two dinosaur eggs that were originally said to be good, now only one broken eggshell remains, and everything inside the eggshell has disappeared.
Zhao Zhu's observation was also very subtle, he didn't think it was Fan Pian playing with himself, because he clearly discovered that this broken eggshell wasn't because the little dinosaur inside had hatched, but because this egg had been eaten away. Although Fan Pian had a history of eating that mutated creature's meat, Zhao Zhu still didn't believe that Fan Pian would take out the dinosaur egg ahead of time and eat it like a chicken egg here.
"Hiss... it seems I've made a bit of a mess, what kind of egg did I end up taking out?" Fan Pian also smacked his lips, pointing at the damaged eggshell: "One of the eggs has disappeared, and some remaining egg white stains are inside the packaging. Because the one who ate the egg was eating it before opening the package, which means it was originally inside the package... and I originally stole two eggs, now only one broken egg is left, which means..."
"One egg, swallowed another egg?" Zhao Zhu said.
"Well... although it's a bit far-fetched, following the clues and reasoning, it indeed makes sense."
"Alright, let's not think about where that egg went now. The original egg is gone, so we have to go back to that lab again."
"The danger that has been encountered must still be faced." Fan Pian shook his head somewhat regretfully, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken out the egg that was isolated and cultivated separately. It should be that egg that's causing trouble."
"Let's go to the lab."
Zhao Zhu and Fan Pian had no choice but to continue advancing towards the laboratory, both of them being extremely cautious as the danger level on this island was constantly rising. First, it was because the mutants were escaping one by one from their original containment areas, and now it was because the mutants' intelligence was continuously upgrading.
"Boom!"
When Zhao Zhu and Fan Pian arrived at the entrance of the laboratory building, a figure was thrown directly from inside the building and landed in a fountain on one side, splashing water everywhere.
"Roar!"
Right after that, a low growl came from inside the pool, and a dragon-headed humanoid mutant crawled out of the fountain. It was originally going to rush back into the building to continue fighting, but it suddenly turned its head and saw Zhao Zhu and Fan Pian standing aside. Its long tongue stuck out of its mouth, almost licking its entire face, then excitedly rushed towards Zhao Zhu and Fan Pian.
This is a disaster beyond one's control, it really is a disaster beyond one's control. However, when the mutant is rushing towards oneself, whether it's Zhao Zhu or Fan Pian, there is no other way out, and they can only choose to confront it head-on.
Zhao Zhu's mental force surged forward, heavily smashing into the mutant's ankle area. The mutant fell to the ground, and Zhao Zhu also stumbled backwards, almost falling over as well. This was because the explosive force on the mutant's body was too strong, so when Zhao Zhu's mental force acted upon it, he naturally received a recoil of that power. After all, the effects of force are mutual.
However, in terms of physical flexibility, the mutant had a huge advantage. His entire spine was almost bent at a 90-degree angle, and he stood up straight in this way. When Zhao Zhu got up, the mutant had already arrived in front of him. He grabbed Zhao Zhu's neck with one hand, and Zhao Zhu also grasped the mutant's arm with both hands, using all his strength. Although Zhao Zhu's strength was not as great as the mutant's, it was not much weaker either. After all, Zhao Zhu had been able to knock down zombies in the past. In this moment, the two sides were stuck in a stalemate.
Fan took advantage of the opportunity, holding two test tubes in each hand, and rushed over to smash them against the mutant's dragon head. The two test tubes shattered on impact, splashing their contents onto the mutant's head. When the two liquids came into contact, a terrible corrosive new liquid formed, causing the mutant to let out a blood-curdling scream as it threw Zhao Zhu off and then jumped back into the fountain pool.
Zhao Zhu was thrown to the ground, coughed and got up again. Fan Pian was holding several reagent bottles, seemingly intending to rush over and dissolve the mutant directly. Zhao Zhu had an idea of what these reagents were, probably a combination of acidic solutions that became even more corrosive when mixed together, such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid combining to form aqua regia. Fan Pian was able to create warning bombs and knew how to mix this solvent reagent, so it's no surprise that in the real world he would be a terrifying chemistry madman, extremely intelligent.
However, even smart people have bad luck sometimes. The mutant who was originally washing himself frantically in the pool water suddenly had a rupture on his buttocks, and a sharp tail grew out instantly, just like a long spear that directly pierced Fan Pian's abdomen and penetrated through it instantly. Then the tail lifted up, also pulling Fan Pian's entire body into the sky.
"Wooo... wooo..."
At this time, Fan Pian could no longer speak, on the one hand because of that intense pain, and on the other hand also because his mouth was full of blood foam.
Zhao Zhu looked around and found that above the fountain, a string of lanterns was hung. These lanterns would burst into colorful lights at night along with the fountain, very beautiful. But now it became Zhao Zhu's only way out. He took out his gun and aimed at the lanterns on the fountain, releasing both spiritual energy and mental power simultaneously, firing four shots in a row. The four steel wires originally connecting the lanterns were all broken, causing the lanterns to fall down, pulling down a large piece of electrical wire with them.
Although this human activity has almost been abandoned, the electricity inside is still being supplied. When Zhao Zhuo entered the control room earlier, the machines were also operating normally. This should be a small bug in this terrible web novel world, but now this bug has helped Zhao Zhuo a lot.
When the chandelier fell into the pool, the wires also followed and submerged in the water. The entire pool was suddenly filled with electric eels dancing wildly, and the terrifying electricity ravaged everything. The mutated person stood up from the pool, and his body immediately ignited a fiery flame, turning into a charred corpse before sinking back into the water. Due to the electrical shock, his body stiffened, and his tail swung violently, tossing Fanpian from mid-air to the ground. Fortunately, Fanpian was not electrocuted, but his abdomen was pierced through and he was thrown down brutally, leaving him on the verge of collapse.
Zhao Zhu's nostrils, mouth corners, and eye corners all the way to his ears were bleeding. He had previously overdrawn his spiritual power and willpower to ensure a hundred shots hit their mark. At this time, his brain was also dizzy, but compared to Fan Pian, Zhao Zhu was already very lucky.
As Zhao Zhu walked up to him, he stretched out one hand and grasped Zhao Zhu's foot, "Save... save... me..."
Zhao Zhu looked deeply at Fan Pian, but in his heart he was weighing the pros and cons. In the end, he bent down and took out a small needle tube from the root of his shoe sole.
"This is a stimulant I exchanged from the group leader, its effect is better than in the real world but with greater side effects. It should be useful for you, but it won't last long. I'll give you this shot, then find a place to wait, I'll go find two dinosaur eggs to complete the task with you."
Fan heard it and nodded, "I... know... thank... you..."
Zhao Zhu inserted the needle into Fan Pian's body, and after the liquid was pushed in, Fan Pian's face began to gradually change from its previous pale color to a ruddy complexion, somewhat like the meaning of "returning light". However, he was able to use his clothes to cover his wound at this time, struggling to get up, but only swaying unsteadily. It was clear that he was still very weak and on the verge of death.
"As long as you can help me survive, get through this mission world, I...I...I will repay you tenfold in the future."
"You know us, we're not really into this kind of commitment."
"But now I have nothing but these promises."
"Alright, I'll try my best, you have to keep living too."
