Ocean Exploration Plan (Chapter 201)
Ye Sheng previously knew little about the wasteland world and lacked common knowledge, so when scavenging in the wilderness, she boldly wandered by the river... She was lucky that she wasn't dragged into the water by the creatures within, otherwise, the grass on her grave would be several feet high by now!
But as she gradually learned more, she realized that in the wasteland world, any place with water is extremely dangerous.
The oceans, which in her original world were places for sightseeing by boat, have now become forbidden zones for humans.
Vast oceans hide polluted creatures that have evolved to unknown degrees... Over the years, there have been attempts to explore them, but all ended in failure.
Those sent into the sea all met their deaths.
Not a single person can last more than ten minutes.
Therefore, seeing that the Black Spring Freemasonry's new base had established an ocean research laboratory immediately piqued her curiosity.
She put searching for energy stones aside and took a backseat. Without waiting for a reply, she tugged at Gu Luoyu's sleeve, her dark eyes sparkled with excitement, and directly said, “Ah Yu, let's go check this out, I'm so curious!”
“Alright.”
Unlike Ye Sheng, whose heart felt as if it were being scratched by a cat, Gu Luoyu remained calm and nodded in agreement.
Without delay, the two quickly made their way over.
Along the way, they easily took the lives of Black Spring guards, killing so many that Ye Sheng lost count. It seemed the Black Spring Freemasonry was too afraid to send more guards.
However, there was a persistent feeling of being watched, leading Ye Sheng to suspect that there might be surveillance equipment in the new base.
Ye Sheng wasn't worried about this; so what if there was surveillance?
Would they dare to attack just because of it?
Earlier, when eliminating enemies, not only did Gu Luoyu take action, but Ye Sheng also practiced her newly acquired Space bullets. After multiple shots, she was no longer as clumsy as before.
She can now control the size and power of the spatial bullets... at least not enough to collapse the underground cave and bury them all inside.
With the guidance of signs, they didn't get lost and soon arrived at the ocean research laboratory. Gu Luoyu took the lead to prevent any unexpected incidents.
Compared to an Esper, Ye Sheng's ordinary physique made Gu Luoyu very concerned for her safety.
However, Ye Sheng herself was not worried at all, fully submerged in her curiosity. She looked around but found nothing particularly special about the laboratory.
It looked like an ordinary office, with complete sets of desks and chairs, and rows of metal cabinets along the walls filled with folders.
When Ye Sheng approached, opened a cabinet, and randomly pulled out a folder, the first page read [Polluted Creature Similarity Drug Experiment Record]
???
What is this?
Filled with curiosity, Ye Sheng immediately flipped through it, finding not only written records but also realistic-style illustrations, making everything clear.
The content of the file wasn't extensive, and the text was fragmented.
In summary, the Black Spring Freemasonry discovered that the imposters created by the transformation potion were less attractive to polluted creatures than ordinary humans.
Given the choice, polluted creatures wouldn't attack the imposters but would instead attack ordinary humans... After multiple experiments, researchers found that a special substance extracted from the imposters could make polluted creatures recognize them as their own kind.
Thus, they brainstormed, thinking that further research into this special substance might lead to the invention of a super powerful drug that could make humans immune to polluted creature attacks.
The starting point was good, and the Black Spring organization valued it highly, allowing the experiments to proceed.
Research on the drug made from this special substance went smoothly, but it triggered a series of reactions because the Black Spring Freemasonry's higher-ups thought of the repeatedly failed ocean exploration plans!
Although the oceans have become forbidden zones for humans, over the years, neither the base officials nor other organizations have given up on exploration, indicating that there must be something worth risking lives for!
However, with too many failures, the plans had to be reluctantly suspended.
But now, with a drug that could make polluted creatures ignore them, perhaps they could try again. If successful, even if the time spent in the ocean was short, it would still be progress.
Later, they could gradually increase the time spent, making it easier to excavate things from the ocean...
After Ye Sheng finished flipping through the folder, she couldn't help but think, no wonder the imposters hunt humans in the wilderness... In the wilderness, the imposters and polluted creatures are the same, making it feel like returning home.
No need to worry about attacks from polluted creatures.
Besides, the file mentioned excavating things from the ocean, but what could they be?
However, something that the Black Spring organization can't forget must be very valuable!
She wondered how many lottery points it could exchange for. What if it's more than the points from energy stones? When the lottery wheel is activated again, it could be in the billions!
Sigh!
With that, how many good things could be won!
Just thinking about it made Ye Sheng extremely excited, giving her the impulse to teleport to the ocean and start digging immediately. Luckily, reason stopped her in time.
Although the potential gain is high, the risk of death is even greater.
To live well, it's better not to take such risks.
Thinking this, Ye Sheng silently sobbed, feeling that she could only dream about it... The beautiful dream shattered, making her somewhat disheartened as she put the folder back in the cabinet. Then, as if reminding something, she looked around.
Like a monkey on a mountain, she couldn't stay still.
This behavior puzzled Gu Luoyu, who turned to look at Ye Sheng. Ye Sheng honestly confessed, “I wanted to see if there's any surveillance around. These files seem very important, I want to take them all back!”
Since she has such a good thing as the Ruyi Pouch, why not use it? She could take these folders back and read them before bed!
Sticking to the belief that a thief doesn't leave empty-handed, Ye Sheng even wanted to scrape the walls!
Hearing Ye Sheng's request, Gu Luoyu smiled helplessly, then activated her psychic powers to destroy the surveillance equipment on the spot.
After Ye Sheng received the confirmation and happily collected the folders, Gu Luoyu silently stared at the words “ocean research Laboratory,” deep in thought.
