Forbidden Nightmare
Chapter 36 Blood Contract
Chapter 36 Blood Contract
Li Nanke gritted his teeth, strode to the center of the laboratory, and tried to reach out and touch the huge “first-generation structure”.
Alba had been frightened by the experimental log and words like “planetary level”, “super-large deformed body” and “terrifying extraterrestrial civilization”. No one knew that such a terrible secret was hidden at the bottom of this deep pit prison.
“Michael! Are you crazy! What are you doing!?”
When he saw Li Nanke was about to touch the construct, he immediately remembered the contents of the experiment log and shouted to stop him: “Didn’t you see the contents of the experiment log? Those prisoners turned into monsters because they touched this construct!”
Li Nanke raised his eyebrows: “Did the prisoners in the mine also touch the first generation of constructs?”
Alba immediately shook her head.
Li Nanke continued: “If the experimental subjects touch the construct, they will become deformed after death. The prisoners in the prison clearly did not touch the construct, but they were also deformed after death due to the sudden burst of electromagnetic radiation… We have been infected for a long time, so what difference does it make whether we touch the construct or not?”
“As for becoming a deformed being after death…if I die here, why would I care if there’s a flood after my death?”
Alba was speechless and could only remind him: “The experiment log said that it would cause hallucinations…”
Li Nanke sneered and reached out to touch the ‘first generation structure’.
The surface of the stone alien creature was rough and the tentacles were cold. The powerful static electricity swept through the flesh, bones, and internal organs, and the tingling sensation reached its peak at this moment.
Suddenly, a faint whisper sounded in my ears, as if it came from an extremely distant alien space. These voices were like the murmurs of a twisted ancient giant, with a kind of manic and insane ups and downs, constantly echoing in my mind.
Everything around the laboratory began to become blurry. Things that were originally clearly visible became hazy, as if the boundaries of reality were collapsing, all light became distorted, and everything was covered with a layer of purple-red blood mist.
In a trance, Li Nanke saw strange “jellyfish” made of flesh and blood wandering in the darkness, dragging long flesh and blood tentacles, spurting blood mist and dancing as they moved…
At the same time, a mysterious symbol appears in the spiritual world, its image like splattered blood.
Li Nanke finally came back to his senses from the hallucination. He was covered in cold sweat and gasping for breath while holding his knees.
[Nightmare, you have completed the hidden node: learn the key experimental log in the biological laboratory and touch the ‘first generation structure’! ]
[Since you have triggered the hidden node (initial), the hidden node (subsequent) will be triggered at a specific time period of this forbidden dream! ]
[Hidden node rewards: trait ‘blood covenant’ (already received), unlock some special redemption permissions, and improve dream settlement score! ]
[Trait: Blood Contract]
[Subordinate: Animality]
[Rank: 0th rank]
[Level: 0/10]
[Details: This trait can strengthen the blood in the body, increase the number and quality of red blood cells, greatly improve the efficiency of oxygen transportation, and slightly enhance muscle endurance; it can also enhance the function of white blood cells and increase the response speed of the immune system; the increase in the number and function of platelets in the blood can speed up the wound healing process, reduce bleeding time and blood loss, and thus increase the chance of survival. ]
[As the level of this trait increases, your blood will be strengthened, and you will be able to cure and be immune to various blood diseases, and even gain the ability to rapidly increase your hematopoietic function in a short period of time.]
[Note: Halloween is here, and everyone is starting to dress up as vampires. I decided to dress up as a bag of blood…]
Li Nanke felt his body carefully and could clearly feel the blood gurgling in his blood vessels. This feeling was both wonderful and strange.
“It can slightly enhance endurance, improve immunity, and speed up wound healing. It seems pretty good, but… why is it an animal trait?”
Apart from the human trait of “armament”, the rest of his traits and main qualities are all subordinate to animality, giving a terrible feeling of being seriously biased.
The hidden node completed this time was not difficult, but the reward was quite good. He noticed the sync prompts showing ‘initial’ and ‘subsequent’, and wondered if the reason why he could get the reward so easily this time was because the subsequent hidden nodes were extremely difficult.
“Michael? Are you okay?” “No, let’s get out of here!”
A large number of experimental personnel and prison management have fled, and staying in the prison will only become more and more dangerous.
Li Nanke took Alba and quickly left the laboratory and took the transport vehicle back to the large freight elevator.
The large freight elevator that leads directly to the outside ground is a huge platform for vertical take-off and landing. Not to mention one transport vehicle, even ten large mining trucks full of ore can be transported to the ground at the same time.
The prisoners who escaped earlier had cracked the freight elevator’s identification device, and two of them drove the transport vehicle directly onto the freight elevator and headed for the ground transfer station.
Due to the harsh ground environment and low temperatures on Gliese 798c, humans cannot survive without protective clothing and oxygen masks, so when they need to go out, they have to take special vehicles at the transfer station and wear professional equipment for going out.
However, when the two arrived at the transfer station, they fell silent.
There was no polar heavy snowmobile left that had been parked in the transfer station, only two transport vehicles for prisoners to be replaced.
The special snowmobile adopts a fully enclosed design. The car body is made of thermal insulation materials, the tires are special snow triangular tracks, and a large snow shovel is installed in the front of the vehicle body.
Without a snowmobile, not to mention the temperature on the surface of the outside planet that is close to minus 50 degrees Celsius, the thick snow that never melts all year round can make it difficult to move.
The only fortunate thing was that there were a large number of protective suits and oxygen supply equipment in the transit station, and there were still some left after a large number of guards and some prisoners escaped.
“Michael, what should we do?”
Alba was at a loss now. He was an expert at cracking electronic devices, but now he had no idea how to escape.
Li Nanke glanced at the things in the transfer station and said quickly: “Change the oil of the transport vehicle. Here is minus 50 diesel for snowmobiles. Then lower the tire pressure of the transport vehicle and use iron chains as anti-skid chains to wrap all the wheels.”
“The transport vehicle is our only means of transportation now. If we don’t rely on the transport vehicle and only rely on our two legs, we will definitely freeze to death outside.”
The two worked for a long time to clean up the transport vehicle. Although it is still easy for the tires to slip or fall into snow pits compared to a dedicated snowmobile, it is the best solution at present.
As for keeping warm, I can only wear two more sets of protective clothing to keep warm…
With a loud rumbling sound, the metal gate of the transfer station opened to both sides.
Suddenly, the temperature dropped sharply, and a fierce howling wind blew in a large amount of snow.
There was a vast expanse of white in the field of vision, as if the entire world was wrapped in a thick layer of cotton wool. Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the extremely cold land was covered with ice and snow… This was a lonely and cold alien planet.
[Dreamer, you have successfully escaped from the Deep Pit Prison and completed key node 2! ]
[Node Reward: Space Station Sub-Arsenal Key (to be collected)]
[You have triggered key node three! ]
[Key Node 798: Take the space elevator to the Gliese c large space station and enter the space station control room! ]
The howling cold wind, mixed with dense snowflakes, made it almost impossible to open one’s eyes.
Li Nanke was wearing two layers of thick protective clothing and a transparent oxygen mask. The heating element attached to the mask prevented frost from condensing. With every breath, he could feel the water vapor on the inside of the mask.
He looked up at the sky, and although his vision was blocked by the dancing snowflakes, he could still vaguely see the space elevator cable standing in the blizzard, hanging between heaven and earth.
The silver-thread-like cable was extremely thin, but it stretched endlessly upward along the ground, passing through dense snowflakes until it disappeared above the thick clouds…
