Research Station.
In the freezer room on the first floor of the laboratory building.
What is placed in the center is the ice cube that almost killed Exploration Team, with 'Biological Samples' frozen inside.
(Picture)
Many researchers wearing down jackets gathered here, looking at the ice with serious faces, as if they wanted to guess what the creature was from its appearance.
Of course, Rebecca, a hidden employee of Umbrella and an expert in chemistry and biology, is also here.
They could only see the faint outline of the creatures inside the ice, but could not see the whole thing at a glance.
However, just by looking at it, you can tell that this creature is huge and has many claws, bones, tentacles and limbs.
Gives people a chilling feeling.
As for the director of the scientific research station, Dr. Sand, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the ice cubes and said quietly to the researchers, "Everyone.
This is some kind of creature that Exploration Team risked his life to dig out. Can anyone tell me what species it is?"
"..." All the researchers remained silent at first.
A few seconds passed.
A researcher held his right elbow with his left hand, rubbed his stubble with his right hand and frowned. "From the general appearance, it looks like an arthropod, but..."
At the end of the sentence, the researcher hesitated and did not say the rest.
"But it is not a symmetrical or radially symmetric animal."
At this time, Rebecca took over the conversation, then she walked around the ice and continued to say to everyone:
"Almost all animals on land are symmetrical in appearance, and we humans are the best example.
As for radially symmetric animals, most of them live in the ocean, such as starfish, and most asymmetric animals also come from the ocean..."
Having said this, Rebecca pointed at the ice and looked at Sand and said solemnly, "It is obviously an asymmetrical animal, but it has many characteristics of land animals."
Then she crossed her arms in front of her chest, shook her head slightly and said, "The species in the ice... are very strange."
"How about we take out a tissue slice?" another researcher suggested.
"It is indeed possible." Sand seemed to agree with this view.
"No." Rebecca immediately objected. "Doctor, we are not sure what its condition is. What if it contains some kind of virus in its body?"
"Well..." Sand was a little confused.
But in the end he shook his head and said, "The original intention of establishing Research Station is to study the strange creatures under the Antarctic ice sheet.
Besides, we also have a lot of good equipment. If we can't even take out samples for analysis, then what's the point of building this Research Station?"
After hearing what the supervisor said, other researchers with a scientific research mentality also nodded.
Seeing this, Rebecca's face sank and he stopped speaking.
She knew that she was looking at Ice Block Creature from the perspective of an Umbrella employee. After all, there might be an abnormality there.
But other researchers, including Sand, are 'fanatic' scientists looking for the truth.
It was not easy to discover a unique creature, and Research Station also has the top research equipment. Of course, it is necessary to take out samples to analyze the identity of the creature in the ice.
But special matters should be managed by more professional and efficient 'departments'.
Since she couldn't persuade her with good words, she stopped wasting her words and planned to notify the company to dispatch Helljumpers to directly recycle the ice cubes.
"Buzz-"
When most people agreed to take out the samples for study, the light in the freezer suddenly flickered a few times and dimmed for a few seconds before returning to normal.
Immediately afterwards, everyone felt that the experimental building was shaking slightly.
It seems.
This blizzard is a bit too bad.
However, the Sand supervisor didn't pay attention. Instead, he waved his hand, turned around and walked out.
Said: "Everyone, please prepare Sterilization Equipment, protective clothing and other equipment. We will take samples in half an hour."
"Yes, supervisor." All the researchers also left here.
The last one, Rebecca, stopped by the sliding door, turned his head, and stared at the unknown creature in the ice for a few seconds before leaving.
"Shua-" The sliding door also closed.
The lights in the freezer automatically stopped working. Although there were still several dim red lights working, the place still seemed extremely dark.
Within the channel of Research Station;
Rebecca, holding her down jacket in both hands, was rushing to her dormitory quickly, preparing to report the situation here to Serena.
As soon as she turned the corner, Rebecca saw Li Mu with her hands in her pockets, leaning against her bedroom door.
"Li Mu!" Rebecca trotted next to Li Mu and said hurriedly, "Among the ice cubes Exploration Team brought back, I think there is..."
"I know." Li Mu interrupted Rebecca, and his expression was more serious than before.
He said in a deep voice, "But Research Station lost the network and communication."
"What?" Rebecca also frowned and said, "Is it caused by the blizzard?"
"Yes."
As he said that, Li Mu pointed to Rebecca's dormitory, indicating that she had better go in first.
"Yeah." Rebecca immediately understood what the other party meant.
Enter the password to open the door, lead Li Mu into her dormitory, close the door, throw the down jacket on the bed and say:
"Li Mu, are we really unable to contact Serena or Fire Spirit?"
Li Mu shook his head.
He pointed to the window of the dormitory and said softly, "Unless there is a telegram, we will be isolated from the world until the blizzard is over.
(Staring at Rebecca) Also, when you were studying that creature, I asked the person who helped Exploration Team.
In fact, while they were out conducting exploration, they received some kind of signal and went to the source of the signal.
In addition to the frozen creature, they also discovered some kind of large...'artificial structure' buried in ice and snow."
"Building?" Rebecca exclaimed.
After all, artificial structures can be found in Antarctica, which is definitely an anomaly in Umbrella's eyes, not to mention the discovery of some unknown creature nearby.
Immediately afterwards.
"Li Mu..."
Rebecca tried to ask Li Mu: "Sand wants to take out a tissue sample of that creature. If it is an abnormal phenomenon, I am not sure whether it is really dead.
But most of the people in Research Station are from Sand, and the security guards are all armed with guns, so how can we stop them..."
"It's not difficult." Li Mu twisted his neck, moved his arms, prepared to leave and warned her:
"Rebecca, don't reveal your identity for the time being. I can seize control of this place by myself."
"This... don't you need my help?" Rebecca asked still slightly worried.
"No, you are a talent that the doctor pays attention to, so you can't make any mistakes." Li Mu declined quietly.
"Beep-beep-!"
However, at this moment, a piercing alarm sounded throughout Research Station, as well as a panicked reminder from a security guard:
"The creature in the freezer broke out of the ice!"
