Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Small Probability Explosion

The huge screen on the control console was now shattered in the bottom left corner, which seemed to have been caused by a stray bullet hitting the area. The cracks from the circular hole spread outward, with one of them even splitting the screen in two.

There were three rows of buttons on the control panel, with several of them constantly emitting sparks. Most of the remaining buttons seemed to have lost their function, leaving only seven or eight still lit up, indicating they could be used normally.

Song Jian carefully pressed one of the still-lit buttons, and after waiting for a while and not noticing any anomalies, he directly pressed all the remaining buttons one after another.

Perhaps triggered by one of the buttons, the shattered screen suddenly started up. After a burst of static noise and snowflakes, an image of a middle-aged man wearing a white lab coat and glasses, with a thin figure appeared on the screen.

He was sweating profusely and even had bloodstains on his white work clothes. Behind him, a huge creature over three meters tall, with grotesque lumps of muscle all over its body similar to tumors, bent down and squeezed into the laboratory. It grabbed a retreating researcher with one hand, let out a low growl, and tore the researcher apart with just its two hands.

Blood and viscera were spilled all over the floor as the giant monster started eating the two pieces of the corpse in its hands;

In the screen, the disheveled-looking middle-aged man frantically pressed buttons on the screen while shouting: “This is the control room of the mysterious base. The experimental subject has gone out of control and is rampaging through the base. Many experimental specimens have been released by it. The vine of life has also escaped its confinement, and the base is in chaos…”

“To prevent the secrets of the base from being leaked, I have no choice but to activate the self-destruction device and release the Shafilin virus!” The middle-aged man’s face was pale, and he seemed completely unaware that the giant monster behind him was slowly approaching.

Finally, he yelled, “Himan, my son, I love you!” Then screamed, “Long live the empire!”

The giant monster appeared behind him and reached out with its large palm-like hand. With a “slap,” it crushed the man’s head. The last image on the screen showed the giant monster continuously licking the blood and brain matter from the palm of its hand;

“Could the final boss mentioned in the mission, the Degenerate Puppet Beast, be that giant monster in the screen?” Song Jian wondered.

“Moreover, the self-destruct device was activated by the man in the screen, but the base is still intact. I wonder if someone shut it down in the end or if the self-destruct device didn’t activate at all?” Song Jian carefully recalled every detail of the screen, trying to uncover some hidden secrets.

Just then, a sudden burst of sparks erupted from the control console, and several buttons that had previously been extinguished flashed twice in quick succession. Then, the entire console went dark, completely damaged and unusable.

Song Jian suddenly felt a slight vibration beneath his feet. Immediately, the metal bottom plate beside the console silently slid open to both sides. A rotten, foul-smelling stench rushed out, making him want to vomit;

Turning his head, Song Jian saw a 30-degree downward slope appearing beside the console, appearing like a hidden passage leading to the control room’s lower level.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Jian walked along the sloped passage heading downwards;

The space below was surprisingly large. As if sensing his arrival, a series of shrill, mad screams erupted from below. The chaotic, violent sounds intertwined, making people’s eardrums ache and causing a dizzying sensation.

“Below… there should be the monsters captured as experimental subjects by the base’s researchers. I didn’t expect them to still be alive after all this time – no, that’s not right. Their bodies must have all been invaded by the strange plants in this place, turning them all into Puppet Beasts.” Song Jian speculated.

Just as he reached the end of the passage, Song Jian saw two dark shadows pouncing towards him. Upon closer examination, they were actually two man-eating plants with flesh wings.

However, these two man-eating plants had rather small body sizes, while the flesh wings on their backs were extremely large, appearing to be two to three times the size of their bodies.

“What kind of research is being done here that can create such disgusting monsters!” Song Jian felt increasingly disgusted by this place.

These two winged man-eating plants were not very strong, and Song Jian easily killed them without much effort.

After killing them, there was a small probability of a drop; these two ordinary level 28 monsters actually dropped a golden-quality ring;

“Bloodied Man-Eating Flower’s Claw, Ring, Golden Grade, Item Level 30, Equipment Effect: Intelligence +8, Constitution +7, Increases magic damage or healing effects by 50 points; Special Effect: Light Body Skill (active), once activated, it makes the wearer as light as a swallow, falling from a high place at a slower speed, avoiding any damage; the effect lasts for 8 seconds, and can only be cast once within 30 minutes;”

“The attributes are average, but it’s still a golden-quality ring suitable for Anna’s use.” Song Jian wiped the ring clean and stored it in his inventory.

After killing these two monsters, Song Jian’s gaze fell on the cells here. The top layer of the cells was about five to six meters above the ground, covering an area the size of a soccer field. The dark metal grid walls separated the space into twenty or thirty independent compartments. Song Jian walked over to one of them and gripped the thick metal bars, exerting force on them. His face suddenly changed as there was no response to his grip on the metal bars.

It should be noted that Song Jian’s strength attribute had already exceeded sixty points, which could be considered as extremely powerful, but it had no effect on these iron bars.

“How did those monsters escape such sturdy cells?” Song Jian wondered as he continued walking along the central aisle between the cells.

At this point, the cells were empty except for large areas of dried, dark brown stains. Song Jian reached the deepest cell without discovering anything.

Just as Song Jian sighed and prepared to turn around and leave, he suddenly noticed that the “strange letter” stored in his inventory began to emit dazzling light.

Song Jian took out the thin sheepskin letter and immediately felt a burning sensation coming from it. Instinctively, he let go of the letter.

The letter actually floated in the air, and started burning slowly;

A piercing, heart-wrenching cry echoed through the empty room;
