686 The Moment of Eating (Three)_1 686 The Moment of Eating (Three)_1 So I even have to queue up to be cannon fodder?
Following the instructions, Fu Qian took a seat next to Brother 1349 and mused inwardly.
The two guards didn’t linger and quickly left.
But that didn’t mean they could move around at will.
Nearby, more guards could be seen watching intently; it was clear that the security on the lowest level was much stricter than above.
Moreover, although the test room in front of everyone was large, it certainly didn’t occupy an entire floor. Who knows what else might be placed underneath.
While observing, Fu Qian noticed something odd.
Brother 1349 in front of him showed absolutely no intention of proceeding with the test.
Are there still people in the room?
Are there so many people showing abnormal reactions?
As he was pondering, he heard the elevator door from the direction they came open once again.
Fu Qian turned to look and saw that the two guards had actually brought another person with them.
It was a very young woman, just over twenty by the looks of it.
Her chestnut hair was soft and lustrous, and she even wore delicate makeup, her eyes looking around animatedly as she moved.
Her expression full of anticipation and her shopping-like demeanor provided a stark contrast to Brother 1349.
Amid his musings, the woman had already quickly reached in front of him.
Hi!
She didn’t even sit down but greeted Fu Qian and Brother 1349 with a light and cheery voice.
[6666]
As she turned her body, Fu Qian could also see the number on her back.
This one’s a heavy hitter!
Fu Qian greeted her with a smile and clicked his tongue in admiration of the number.
“Is there still someone inside?”
After greeting them, the woman quickly voiced the question that was on Fu Qian’s mind.
“No.”
To everyone’s surprise, the guard actually didn’t leave right away but cooperated and answered her.
“According to instructions, the three of you must enter together this time.”
The next moment, a team leader-looking fellow stepped forward, pointing at the three of them, Fu Qian included.
So were we actually waiting to be teamed up just now?
Fu Qian glanced at Brother 1349 who had arrived first, regretfully noting that the other party remained impassive, without any reaction.
“Alright, don’t waste time.”
As he spoke, the team leader had pressed the control device, and the tightly sealed silver-white metal door in front of everyone slowly began to slide open to both sides.
Unfortunately, another door was revealed behind it, preventing them from seeing what was really inside.
“The procedure is the same as last time, stay inside for five minutes.”
“Once the outer door closes, the one in front of you will automatically open, and then you must quickly enter the innermost testing area.”
The team leader watched Fu Qian and the other two until they had all entered through the first door.
“After five minutes, the second door will open again, and you must return here.”
As he spoke, the door slowly closed behind the three of them.
I can’t help feeling a bit nervous. Is the thing inside so terrifying?
Taking in the guards’ reactions, Fu Qian saw the inner door had now opened a crack.
The next moment, Fu Qian finally laid eyes on the test subject of the Underground Research Facility.
This is…
But the thing that appeared before him made Fu Qian frown for a moment.
“The creature’s form was indeed a challenge to the imagination.”
“Standing nearly two meters tall, it had a pale green body that seemed to be made of a material somewhere between metal and flesh.”
“At first glance, it appeared almost hollow, merely an outline.”
“But upon closer inspection, one could realize that this was actually a kind of visual trickery, formed by dark stripes at certain areas on its body.”
“It gave the illusion of a dreamlike fantasy.”
“And the reason it was referred to as a creature was that it definitely had the semblance of a living being, with long antennae and twisted spines—its form was quite bizarre.”
“If one had to describe it, it would be like a massive lichen katydid, but standing there in the posture of a horse.”
