Chapter 2005 - Chapter 2005 Ice Storage
Chapter 2005 Ice Storage
Was it because of the previous power outage?
Fang Heng thought about it and tried to push open the door.
Behind the door was a large ice storage. The temperature inside was very low. There were foam boxes of different sizes piled up against the wall. A large number of foam boxes were piled up high, and the outer layer was already covered with a layer of frost.
Judging from the thickness of the frost, it seemed that no one had moved these foam boxes for a while.
“Fang Heng, be careful. This place is very abnormal.”
When she stepped into the storage room, Gu Qingzhu finally sensed a weak fluctuation of lifeblood and became more vigilant.
“Yes.”
Fang Heng answered and opened a foam box beside him to check.
“Ka!!”
Fang Heng tore open the outer layer of the box and as he looked down, he saw bags of sticky substance that looked like blood plasma. Each bag of blood was marked with a serial number.
“It looks like some kind of research material. Is it related to Miyamoto Teru’s research…?”
Fang Heng muttered to himself as he held the bag in his hand and observed it.
The vampire bloodline sensed that the power contained in the blood was very low. Moreover, there was no notification that the game had been refreshed.
Fang Heng raised his head again.
The cold storage was huge.
The lifeblood fluctuation he had sensed earlier came from the front.
Following his perception, Fang Heng slowly walked deeper into the cold storage warehouse until he reached the wall at the front.
Behind the wall!
“Be careful, step back a little.”
Fang Heng stared at the wall, raised his fist, and punched forward.
“Bang!!”
The fist hit the wall with a loud bang!
“Ka ka, ka…!”
Large cracks appeared on the white wall and quickly spread outwards!
“Bang!!!”
The entire wall collapsed in front of Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu.
A piercing chill instantly emanated from behind the walls!
That was…
Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu looked at the space behind the wall, and their eyes could not help but reveal a solemn expression.
Behind the ice storage was a large ice cellar. Large chunks of ice were piled up in a mess in the ice cellar.
Fang Heng’s gaze immediately focused on the deepest part of the ice cellar.
The powerful lifeblood fluctuation was coming from there!
He found it!
Fang Heng’s pupils contracted.
In the depths of the ice cellar, there was a huge dark red stone in the middle of a huge block of ice. The stone kept flickering with a dark red light, beating like a heart.
The dragon soul crystal!
There was no mistake!
Fang Heng immediately connected this stone to the dragon soul crystals he had seen in the information.
The lifeblood energy fluctuation he felt in the research institute on the seventh basement was all released from this dragon soul crystal!
Gu Qingzhu reminded him with a solemn expression, “Fang Heng, look at those people.”
Fang Heng looked in the direction Gu Qingzhu was pointing at.
It was a human!
His attention had been focused on the dragon soul crystal earlier, but now that he looked carefully, he saw large pieces of ice that seemed to be casually placed and thrown away.
However, there were living humans frozen in the center of the ice!
Fang Heng’s gaze swept across the frozen human.
Judging from their attire, a large portion of them were Miyamoto Teru’s Fox Hunting Squad.
Without exception, every frozen human body had an extraordinary lifeblood power fluctuation!
It was obvious that they were not dead!
Moreover, these humans were all sitting cross-legged.
It looked like they were cultivating.
So…
Did he use the freezing method to suppress the instability of lifeblood?
Fang Heng observed the state of these people and silently speculated in his heart.
“Fang Heng, these people are not normal. They are not weak. Be careful.”
Gu Qingzhu’s gaze swept across the frozen faces one by one. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and focused on one of them.
“What’s wrong? Did you find anything?”
“No, it’s nothing. I just saw an acquaintance, Fang Heng. Many of the players here are players from advanced game worlds, and many of them are players on the major leaderboards. I didn’t expect them to be related to Miyamoto Teru.”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng nodded lightly.
At the very least, it had caused quite a commotion when he broke the wall earlier.
However, the frozen players did not wake up.
Judging from this, their perception of the outside world was relatively weak.
“It’s best not to touch them. Let’s get closer and take a look.”
Fang Heng said in a low voice as he slowly walked towards the frozen dragon soul crystal in the center.
The dragon soul crystal!
An item that emitted powerful lifeblood.
Since he was already here, he had to think of a way to bring it back!
Fang Heng arrived before the dragon soul crystal and carefully extended his hand. He slowly approached it until he gently touched the ice on the outer layer of the dragon soul crystal.
A bone-piercing chill immediately came from his palm.
Unfortunately, there were no game notifications.
“Fang Heng, the dragon soul crystal is most likely the reward item that Miyamoto Teru obtained after completing the final mission of the intermediate game.”
Gu Qingzhu stood in front of the huge ice block with Fang Heng. She sensed the energy overflowing from the dragon soul crystal and said thoughtfully, “The dragon soul crystal is rumored to be an energy accumulation extracted from the body of an ancient dragon. I didn’t expect Miyamoto Teru to take the dragon soul crystal out of the game and store it here.”
“I’m afraid it’s to make it easier for him to carry out his experiments.” Gu Qingzhu thought of her fellow clansmen who were treated as research subjects and said in a deep voice, “Fang Heng, we have to think of a way to destroy it.”
Without the dragon soul crystal, Miyamoto Teru’s research on the special game entrance would be greatly affected!
As she spoke, Gu Qingzhu looked around at the frozen players.
This group of players was not weak.
She wasn’t afraid of a one-on-one fight, but there were many of them.
If the destruction of the dragon soul crystal triggered this group of people, they would swarm over and she would not be able to deal with them alone.
“These frozen Fox Hunter Squad’s members and players are a little troublesome. They seem to be cultivating with the help of the dragon soul crystal. Forcefully destroying the dragon soul crystal might wake them up from the ice…”
Fang Heng asked, “Can you think of a way to move it away?”
Gu Qingzhu was thinking about how to destroy the dragon soul crystal and escape safely with Fang Heng. She was stunned when she heard Fang Heng’s words. She wondered if she had heard wrongly. She turned to Fang Heng and asked in surprise, “What did you say? Move out?”
Fang Heng saw Gu Qingzhu’s surprised expression and felt that it would be difficult to move the entire dragon soul crystal.
The dragon soul crystal was too big. It didn’t look like it could be put into a game backpack. It also made it difficult for Miyamoto Teru to bring it out of the game.
Fang Heng looked at the time and said, “There’s no time. There’s still an hour left before the lockdown of the research institute is lifted. Let’s give it a try first. We’ll do as you said. Smash it first and evacuate immediately.”
