Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 357
Chapter 357: Laboratory!
TL: Etude
The civilization relics seen today in East City already belonged to medium to large-sized relics. However, the overall feeling was just like a scaled-up version of typical relics; there wasn’t much difference otherwise.
But the special relic beneath the Hualong Pond was different.
A “prison.”
Moreover, the exact number of levels in this so-called “prison” was unknown.
Continuing to swim downward, Lin Hao soon arrived in front of the giant metal door he had seen before.
“I wonder if I can push it open this time.”
After transforming into a flood dragon, his combat power had increased significantly, and the strength his entire body could exert had become much more formidable.
The power in his claws was also extremely terrifying.
“This time, it should be possible…”
Lin Hao placed his claws on the metal door and began to exert force!
Last time, when he was with Luo Xue, he managed to push the door open a little bit with his effort. From that moment, he knew that this metal door could indeed be pushed open.
Crack, crack, crack—
With a sudden exertion of strength, the door, which had previously been immovable, began to slowly open!
This time, it was really possible!
Seeing this, Lin Hao’s eyes widened slightly.
What could be inside?
He peered through the gap he had opened, but it was still pitch black inside.
However, with his night vision, he vaguely saw some special metals inside.
It was still unclear exactly what they were.
“It seems there are no mutant creatures.”
At that moment, he released his powerful perception ability. But he did not sense the presence of anything.
Was there really nothing inside?
“Whatever, just keep pushing. Let’s open it first!” With a thought, Lin Hao’s claws exerted even more force.
Rumble—
In an instant, the metal door, visibly to the naked eye, continued to open slowly.
As the door opened, light from behind Lin Hao began to pour in.
“Open, damn it!”
With a low growl, the strength in his claws peaked!
The metal door was instantly pushed fully open!
Boom!
The two halves of the door were pushed aside and stuck in place.
Looking inside, Lin Hao saw a large number of strange machines.
There were also many glass containers!
Were there level 7 mutant creatures?
Seeing this, Lin Hao swam directly inside.
The moment he entered, he noticed that the water was completely repelled!
Splat!
As soon as he swam inside, it seemed to trigger the sensor lights, instantly illuminating the vast area completely.
This area looked entirely different from the previous one.
“It can actually repel all the water.”
Upon entering, Lin Hao noticed that the area was completely devoid of water. Turning to look back, he didn’t see any barriers, yet the water was miraculously kept out. The scene in front of him was like a massive water curtain, astonishing to behold.
“A laboratory!?”
After calming down, Lin Hao looked around.
It was evident that the area was filled with strange machines and oddly shaped metals. The most eye-catching feature was the vast and enormous laboratory table.
On the laboratory table were numerous glass containers.
However, these glass containers didn’t hold any dormant mutant creatures but rather…
Organs.
“What mutant creatures do these organs belong to?” Seeing this, Lin Hao was full of surprise.
In the large glass containers placed on the laboratory table were many enormous organs.
Hearts, brains, legs, claws…
“They all seem to be organs from different mutant creatures. Judging by the size of these organs, the original size of these mutant creatures must have been around forty meters.”
Thinking of this, Lin Hao’s eyes grew serious.
This space was enormous; his body, about forty meters long, didn’t feel cramped at all.
“Are these captured mutant creatures used for some kind of experiments by ‘people’?”
His gaze continued to scan the surroundings as Lin Hao moved forward.
Simply devouring these mutant creature organs might not yield any evolution points.
Moreover, the liquid in these containers looked suspicious, and he dared not consume it recklessly.
If it contained poison or some special virus, it could be troublesome.
“Is this a lab coat?”
In the area ahead, Lin Hao saw some white gelatinous suits in transparent glass cabinets.
Upon closer inspection, these suits looked like clothing worn by humans.
“This ruin must have been left by intelligent beings from the Cosmic Federation.”
“Whether it’s the battle suits or these clothes, they all resemble human sizes.”
“Based on this, these intelligent beings from the Cosmic Federation should also look quite similar to humans.”
Lin Hao began to speculate.
Did they capture a large number of mutant creatures and imprison them here for experiments?
Continuing forward, he soon saw vertical, oval-shaped glass containers on both sides.
Inside these containers… were people!
“Not humans.”
“More like hybrids of humans and beasts.”
Upon closer inspection, Lin Hao noticed that these people’s bodies had some beast-like features.
For instance, their arms had numerous scales, and their hands had turned into claws.
All these ‘people’ wore special oxygen masks, had special black tubes attached to their bodies, and were completely submerged in the container’s liquid.
“Wait, were these people used for some kind of research?”
Seeing this, Lin Hao was quite surprised.
“Although they resemble humans, they are taller and have slightly different facial structures. They have a look similar to foreigners but with facial features unlike any on Earth.”
As he observed, he continued moving forward.
Based on the current evidence, these ‘people’ were certainly used for experiments and then placed into these glass containers.
Moreover, none of the ‘people’ inside were dead.
They all still had vital signs.
“I initially thought this place would be filled with level 7 mutant creatures, but it turned out to be a laboratory. Are the mutant creatures in those containers also kept as experimental subjects? Weren’t those ETs saying this place was a ‘prison’…”
Lin Hao grew even more curious.
As he moved forward, thinking he had reached the end, the metal wall in front of him suddenly split into two halves!
At that moment, it automatically opened!
