Gene Treasure Chest

Long Ming noticed that rooms were distributed along both sides of the passage. Some room doors were tightly closed, some stood open, and some had been smashed apart by violence. Long Ming carefully walked into the first room on the left. When he entered, he was stunned. The room was piled high with a large amount of experimental equipment. Although the equipment was covered in dust on the surface, just looking at the design told you it was very advanced. Besides this, corpses wearing white protective suits and logistics work clothes lay on the ground. Long Ming searched briefly, found nothing valuable, so he left the room and went to search the others. As a result, he searched several rooms in a row, but gained nothing. Still, Long Ming patiently kept searching forward. When he reached the doorway of a room with a broken door and peered inside, he was instantly overjoyed. "Holy shit!" Long Ming immediately walked in. One medicine cabinet after another came into view. Although nearly half of the medicine cabinets had collapsed, and the bottles and jars inside were all smashed. Still, quite a few medicine cabinets were intact. Long Ming excitedly rushed to the nearest medicine cabinet and saw bottles of medicine in metal containers placed on top, with various labels attached. Long Ming raised his wristband and scanned the medicines. Insect-Heal Serum Effect: Activates cell activity; heals wounds in a short time. Painkiller Serum Effect: Blocks pain for half an hour. Long Ming looked at the medicines, a brilliant smile on his face. This time he had really struck it rich. The value of medicine was not at all inferior to equipment. Long Ming decisively threw away more than half of the magazines in his backpack and swept the medicines on the cabinet in front of him clean. Immediately afterward, he walked to the other medicine cabinets, only to find they were also filled with medicines. He quickly grabbed medicine bottles and stuffed them into his backpack; in a short while, the backpack was full. Long Ming looked at the pile of medicine bottles in the cabinet and grew anxious. There was simply too much to take. He decisively threw away all the painkiller serums and replaced them with insect-heal serums. After all, this stuff seemed to be produced only in this world, so its rarity should be higher. Painkiller serums existed everywhere. After finishing, Long Ming left excitedly and continued exploring other rooms. Soon Long Ming reached the second-to-last room in the passage. The place was a mess, with collapsed laboratory cabinets and corpses everywhere. At the very back stood a large metal freezer, 2.5 meters tall. Long Ming glanced at it, confirmed there was no danger, then walked up to the large metal freezer. Because the base had completely lost power, the freezer had stopped working. Long Ming reached out to open it, but it wouldn't open. He looked closely and saw that the freezer was locked and needed a key. Long Ming turned to look around. His gaze fell on a nearby corpse wearing a white protective suit. He stepped forward and searched it, and indeed found a mechanical key in the pocket. Long Ming took the mechanical key, inserted it into the freezer, and turned it. Click! The freezer door instantly opened. Long Ming looked at the open door, and his heart rose to his throat. Based on his years of gaming experience, usually something locked would yield good loot. But when the cabinet door was fully opened, the freezer—big enough to hold an adult—was empty, containing only a small rectangular metal box that looked very advanced. Long Ming doubtfully raised his wristband and scanned it. "Prompt: Unsealed Gene Treasure Chest." Long Ming saw the prompt and was instantly overjoyed. He hadn't expected to actually find a Gene Treasure Chest. He picked up the Gene Treasure Chest, about to open it, but then stopped again. Long Ming calmly analyzed the situation. The gene potions produced in this world probably weren't very good, so the gene potions obtained from opening it probably wouldn't be good either. But an unopened Gene Treasure Chest would almost certainly sell for a very high price. Long Ming decisively raised his wristband and scanned the Gene Treasure Chest into the safe box. After doing all this, Long Ming continued searching. Soon he had searched all the rooms on both sides of the passage. There were many things stored here, but unfortunately he really couldn't carry any more. Long Ming continued forward, reached the end of the passage, turned left, and entered another passage. Corpses and sticky slime left behind by rotted insects littered this passage. Long Ming walked forward with nerves tense. Actually, searching up to this point had already been very profitable. But his intuition told Long Ming that there must be even better things inside. He had finally come this far; to give up now would be deeply disappointing. He took a deep breath, clearing those distracting thoughts from his mind. The exit of the passage was 70 meters ahead. Just as he was about to reach it, he suddenly stopped and turned to look to the side. A cart stood in the corridor beside him, filled with broken medicine bottles on top and a white cloth covering something underneath. Behind the cart lay a corpse wearing a white protective suit. Long Ming stepped forward to check the medicines on the cart. Unfortunately, they were all destroyed. He squatted down and carefully lifted the white cloth under the cart, but found nothing. Long Ming saw this and continued forward. When he stepped out of the passage entrance, his vision suddenly opened up. Long Ming's pupils shrank instantly, and his heart jumped violently. A huge circular plaza came into view. The entire plaza was littered with the remains of soldiers killed in battle, as well as insect bones and corrupt, sticky secretions. The ground and walls were covered with countless bullet holes and explosion scorch marks. From the scene remaining, one could see how fierce the battle here had once been. And at the far end of the plaza, half of a giant insect shell five meters tall remained, a shocking sight. Long Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the horror in his heart, warily raised the M24 sniper rifle in his hand, and turned to look around. The entire plaza was silent. Except for slight rustling sounds, there was no movement at all. Long Ming scanned the area. Besides seeing some small worms wriggling on the ground, he didn't see any other enemies, so he began to search. Baka rifle, Jietva submachine gun. Long Ming looked at the firearms all over the ground and was a bit speechless. He simply couldn't carry them. And the quality of these guns all looked about the same. At this moment, a corpse ahead suddenly caught Long Ming's attention. This corpse wore a very beautiful gemstone watch on its hand. Long Ming scanned it. Baolan watch Grade: Purple Long Ming smiled at the corners of his mouth and decisively took the watch off. Although it was purple-tier now, it seemed that weapons and equipment were worth more. But the value of these items was constant; they wouldn't turn out bad no matter what. As for weapons and equipment, their value fluctuated. Since so much was produced here, he was a little worried that by the time he left, the market price might crash. Therefore, as long as it was a purple-tier item and not too large in size, he wouldn't pass it up. Long Ming threw the watch into his backpack and continued searching forward. Not long after, Long Ming searched through the plaza. During this time, he alone found three purple-tier items, and his backpack was almost bursting. At this moment, Long Ming suddenly stopped. He saw a corpse wearing a light mechanical chest plate, with a red skull-shaped mechanical mask on its face, holding a black mechanical gun in its hand, kneeling on both knees before the insect shell, with a hole pierced through its chest. Long Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over to the corpse. From the corpse's equipment, this guy was absolutely the highest-ranking combat captain of this base.
