Rumble, rumble.In the end, Lei Wu chose to follow Chen Mo's advice and opened the large door leading to the material storage room.

The heavy soundproof door slowly lifted up amidst the sound of mechanical gears, revealing an underground corridor that seemed to stretch endlessly, illuminated by dim lights.

As the group entered the underground corridor the soundproof door slowly closed behind them with a thud. Once the soundproof door completely closed, the inside and outside of the iron door seemed to be separated into two worlds, with no sound audible.

"Let's go."

Even Lei Wu couldn't help but be cautious.

The corridor was about four meters wide and had no cover. If they encountered a sudden attack, it would be difficult for them to avoid it so they had to complete the task as quickly as possible.

With everyone on high alert they walked about a hundred meters into the corridor. At the end of the corridor, a huge wooden door appeared, with exceptionally bright incandescent lights inside the room.

Carefully, the group approached and looked into the room through the crack in the wooden door.

The underground warehouse was very large about three to four hundred square meters filled with various instruments and materials. Upon closer observation there were five people inside the warehouse: three were green-skinned bio-humans, moving instruments and goods and the other two seemed to be researchers in white lab coats, a man and a woman, constantly taking notes.

"Three bio-human warriors."

Lei Wu turned around, his expression serious as he looked at the others.

"Traveler you take on one and the three of you restrain one. I'll deal with one as quickly as possible and then help you. How does that sound?"

In fact even Lei Wu wasn't sure if he could kill a bio-human in a short amount of time.

Before, although he had killed a bio-human in a short time, it was only with the cooperation of the martial artist Zhang Qiang and that bio-human had already been injured. And now there were three bio-humans in this storage room.

If Chen Mo and the other three couldn't restrain them, it would be quite dangerous for Lei Wu to be besieged by these three bio-humans.

"What about the two researchers?"

Chen Mo asked furrowing his brow.

This was indeed a big problem. They knew nothing about the combat effectiveness of the researchers here.

However the group was currently in a very awkward position. Once the situation above was discovered by the base personnel and the door to this place was opened they would be in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides, they couldn't afford to waste any more time.

But leaving like this, everyone was somewhat unwilling.

After all, there were so many valuable items piled up here there must be a lot of good stuff.

Fortunately at this moment there were some developments in the warehouse.

"How come those guys haven't come down to check the supplies yet? They must have forgotten the time while playing cards again!"

The male researcher said angrily, "Dr. Bai Yi urged several times yesterday, Xiao Ya you go up and remind them."

The female researcher didn't say much she just turned around and walked towards Chen Mo and the others.

Creak.

After the female researcher pushed open the wooden door, she appeared worried. As she turned the corner of the corridor, a "woo" sound was heard and she was then captured by Chen Mo and the others.

"If you make a sound, I will break your neck, understand?"

Facing the threat of Chen Mo and the others the female researcher was frightened for a moment but calmed down, with tears still streaming down from her eyes, she nodded.

"Okay."

Ku Wu tentatively loosened his grip on her.

The female researcher was indeed cooperative and did not shout or struggle.

She looked at the crowd with tears in her eyes and asked in a low voice "Are you investigators sent from outside? I was kidnapped here, I was forced to work for them." She started sobbing when she finished speaking.

The group exchanged glances.

Chen Mo said "That's right, we are investigators from the Western Continent Federation, we followed Captain Jack here to rescue the missing martial artists, psychics and researchers like you. Unfortunately, the guards at the base were too strong, some of my colleagues were injured and some were lost too. By the way, is that male researcher like you, kidnapped by the Hive organization to work here?"

"No, he voluntarily joined the Hive organization dreaming of being as great as Dr. Terror one day." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Xiao Ya hurriedly explained.

Chen Mo, with a serious expression, asked, "What about his combat power? Does he have any special abilities?"

"We've only undergone ordinary physical enhancement, just a bit stronger than ordinary people and we don't usually exercise, so we don't have any combat power. The process of Dr. Terror's biochemical transformation is very dangerous. I would never try it. Although he really wanted to try it the base is currently short of manpower and Dr. Terror is also afraid of accidents so he did not agree to his request."

Upon hearing her words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If there were only three biochemical people, the group's plan would be a bit more secure. Although it was dangerous, there was still a chance.

"If you want to take action you must be quick otherwise he will become suspicious. I have a good idea that might help you!"

Xiao Ya's words surprised everyone.

"What idea?"

"These bio-humans are all created by Dr. Terror, injecting various animal genes into the bodies of experimental subjects. Although they are humanoid, they have lost their sanity and rely on the metal controllers on their heads to obey commands. If you destroy these controllers, they will lose their sanity and become uncontrollable beasts."

Xiao Ya's words made everyone's eyes light up.

There was actually such a way to solve the problem. She then pursed her lips, seeming a little scared.

"But it's still very dangerous. I'm a little scared. How about this, you can disguise yourselves as the huards outside and I will take you in. Before he notice you destroy the controllers of those bio-humans so he can't control them."

After considering for a moment, the group silently voted with their eyes and decided to trust her for the time being.

This kind of task was obviously more suitable for those with high speed, so it fell to Ku Wu, Tao Zi and Han Xue while Lei Wu and Chen Mo stood by the door, ready to fight at any time.

Creak.

The wooden door opened again.

Sure enough as Xiao Ya said, the male researcher with his back to the crowd was studying the inventory list. When he noticed the people behind him he didn't even look back just pointed to the middle of the warehouse and said, "It's all there, you can check it yourself."

Ku Wu, Tao Zi and Han Xue had already chosen their targets. Without waiting for the male researcher to react they all jumped up and approached the bio-humans, trying to destroy the metal controllers on their heads.

Sensing something wrong, the male researcher turned in surprise.

"Who are you?"

A loud beast roar came from inside the warehouse. The male researcher's face turned extremely pale when he saw that one of the bio-humans had its metal controller removed followed by the controller of the other two bio-humans.

Roar!

As these three bio-humans lost their minds one after another the three of them quickly escaped.

In the gaze of everyone the three bio-humans who had lost control indeed became like wild beasts. Their eyes gradually turned red and then they started attacking each other with a series of beastly roars.

They clawed, bit, and tore at each other, their tremendous strength easily crushing and flinging the nearby instruments and scattering boxes of supplies.

"Tsk, tsk." Surrounding the male researcher the crowd witnessed the huge destruction caused by the three bio-humans. They couldn't help but be amazed imagining what it would be like if they were the targets of the attack.

The female researcher Xiao Ya had indeed been a great help.

Seeing the three bio-humans heavily injured in their mutual attacks, Chen Mo and Lei Wu no longer held back and used long-range attacks on them.

Prompt: You have earned 2 points of disaster contribution points

Prompt: You have earned 1 point of disaster contribution points

Prompt: You have earned 1 point of disaster contribution points

After the bodies of the three bio-humans fell heavily Xiao Ya with a fearful expression cautiously approached the scattered boxes of goods in the center of the warehouse.

She gestured "These goods were originally meant to be transported to Dr. White’s base. There's a small batch of energy stones inside. Do you need them?"

The crowd upon hearing this, immediately showed expressions of joy and walked towards the crates.

As Xiao Ya had said just as they began searching Chen Mo found an energy stone.

Prompt: Energy Stone.

Quality: White.

Usage requirement: Deeply eroded by natural disaster energy, 1-hour cooldown.

Item attribute: Restores 10 points of energy.

Item description: Can be consumed once to quickly restore energy or passively increase energy recovery speed by 1%.

Not only Chen Mo, but others also made some discoveries.

Amidst the excitement of the crowd, after thoroughly searching through the crates filled with supplies and confirming that there was nothing left they all stopped.

In total, Chen Mo found three energy stones and a pair of white shoes. Others' discoveries were similar to Chen Mo's and they couldn't hide their joy.

At this point when the crowd looked at Xiao Ya again their gazes were much friendlier.

She's really a good person!

"Xiao Ya! Xiao Ya!"

It seemed that the male researcher noticed the unfriendly looks, especially the eager eyes of Ku Wu and Tao Zi, but in the eyes of this male researcher the gazes of the group turned into eyes filled with righteousness, ready to pass judgment on his sins.

He immediately cried to the female researcher "I know you don't want to work for the Hive, but we've been together for so long and I've never made things difficult for you. Look after working together for so long, please save me, I don't want to die!"

Xiao Ya showed a troubled expression.

Ku Wu naturally didn't want the points at hand to slip away like this, so he was about to take action, but Xiao Ya spoke up "Wait a minute."

She then stood directly in front of the male researcher blocking the others.

In Ku Wu's view since the bio-humans here had been killed Xiao Ya had lost her value as a tool. Now, standing in front of him is like seeking her own death, he didn't mind gaining a few more points.

Seeing Ku Wu’s expression, Chen Mo suddenly stepped forward and protected Xiao Ya behind him.

Seeing Chen Mo's resolute expression and seeing the gesture for the others to back off Ku Wu, Tao Zi and Han Xue all showed expressions of confusion. But Chen Mo had no intention of explaining.

Because of his contact with the Disaster Stricken, he had already understood their nature. The vast majority were selfish people, especially towards these creatures from another world, they would not have any emotions. Everyone was just a passerby in their eyes, similar to NPCs.

Chen Mo was different.

As a traveller and as a person who grew up in the Chinese civilization, Chen Mo could accept becoming cruel and ruthless for his survival, to adapt to the identity of as a natural disaster but he would never accept betraying others for his own benefit. Even if these beings were from another world and could be plundered in the eyes of the natural disasters, he could not deceive his basic conscience.

Seeing this Ku Wu left in disappointment.

From this, it can be seen that he had already admitted the status of traveller from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Ya seemed to be unaware of this complex confrontation. She instinctively wanted to protect the male researcher.

After Ku Wu left, she seemed to think of something after a moment of contemplation.

With a hopeful look, she looked at Chen Mo and said, "Right, he can make the basic improvement potion developed by Dr. Terror! I remember there should be some materials here. Let him make a few basic improvement potions for you and make up for his sins and then lock him up, how about that?"

Huh?

Upon hearing this, everyone was suddenly overjoyed.

Even Ku Wu who left disappointed, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment. He admired Chen Mo, thinking that Chen Mo had already foreseen this and that it was just part of Chen Mo's plan, foreseeing the utilitarian value of this male researcher.

As for the basic improvement potion, just by its name it was definitely an enhancement potion developed by the Hive organization in this world.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo concealed his inner joy and suddenly said, "Can you only make the basic improvement potion? Can you prepare a potion for repairing cellular tissue damage?"

Chen Mo intended to use the male researcher to prepare the potion needed by Xuan Zong.

The male researcher nervously looked at Chen Mo, afraid that he would be killed if he answered incorrectly. But he really didn't know. In the end, he could only say with a stiff smile "That potion can only be prepared by Dr. Terror. I haven't mastered the relevant technology."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.

"Then you make the basic improvement potion first. If the quality meets the requirements we'll follow Xiao Ya's suggestion and let you go. But after that you must repent, otherwise you won't be so lucky next time."

"Definitely, definitely!"

After the male researcher finished speaking, he hurriedly started preparing in the warehouse.

But soon he looked gloomy and said "Many materials have been destroyed by these bio-humans and the instruments have been damaged. I can only barely put together five doses."

"Okay, then five doses, one less dose won't do!"

Ku Wu said fiercely, his eyes showing undisguised excitement.

The male researcher ran around in the warehouse, busy preparing, while Chen Mo took this opportunity to talk to Xiao Ya and try to gather more information.

After more than ten minutes.

The male researcher finally finished preparing and gave each person a dose of the potion.

It was a small bottle of pale green potion, emitting an indescribable fragrance. Just a slight sniff made people feel refreshed.

With one bottle in each person's hand, they couldn't help but look at each other with joy.

Then, Chen Mo took out the mysterious stone given to him by Qing Hong Tutor and identified the bottle of basic improvement potion in public.

Prompt: Basic Improvement Potion.

Quality: Green.

Usage Requirements: Basic total attribute points must be above 30 points and below 100 points.

Item Properties: When the basic attribute is 30, the basic attribute randomly increases by +7. For every 10 points of total attribute increase, the increase in basic attributes decreases by 1 point. When the total basic attribute is above 100 points, there will be no effect.

Item Description: This is a kind of evolution potion that combines biotechnology. Because of the numerous cruel live experiments, it can quickly and stably exert its effects. However, because the creator lacks one ingredient, its performance has not been fully activated.

After Chen Mo explained the attributes of the basic improvement potion to everyone, they were immediately overjoyed. This was obviously far beyond their expectations.

At this moment, Chen Mo's basic attributes were:

Speed: 9

Strength: 10

Physique: 15

Spirit: 23

Energy: 12

The total of the five basic attributes was 69 points. According to the description of the potion, he could randomly gain 4 points of attributes! Chen Mo immediately swallowed it.

After all the upcoming battle was still unknown. Even if he could increase his strength a little, it would be good. Now he finally understood why Qing Hong Tutor gave him these three gems.

Feeling the continuous eruption of nutrients in his abdomen, like electric shocks stimulating his body, Chen Mo couldn't help but show an excited expression.

Prompt: Your Physique +1.

Prompt: Your Speed +1.

Prompt: Your Physique +1.

Prompt: Your Spirit +1.

A series of Prompts came one after another, just as the potion description said, the effect was quite rapid and stable.

Not only that.

Under the effect of the basic improvement potion, Chen Mo even restored the vitality he had lost before.
