Lu Zhaoming whistled and winked at Su Li with a roguish grin. "Beautiful Su, don't you trust my charm? Don't worry, if I stand there, I'll definitely be the most handsome among the test subjects, a shoo-in for the center position!"

Su Li rolled her eyes at him, tossing her hair with a charming air, "You? Don't let yourself be drained dry in just a couple of days, then you'll really become waste soil fertilizer."

Lu Zhaoming laughed heartily, patting his chest and assuring everyone, "Don't worry, I'm as tough as an unkillable cockroach. Besides, I have a cheat code, I'm born with a protagonist's halo, you think I'll die? No way!"

After saying that, he took Xiao Cui and swaggered toward the underground facility.

Along the way, Lu Zhaoming activated his "eagle eye" mode, carefully observing his surroundings.

This place is as desolate as the surface of the moon, with nothing but sand and gravel, and not even a single weed can be seen.

"This place is truly the dead end," Lu Zhaoming couldn't help but complain.

Xiao Cui followed behind him, trembling, clutching his clothes tightly, afraid that she would fall behind if she wasn't careful.

"Brother Lu... Brother Lu, do we... do we really have to go in? I... I'm a little scared." Xiao Cui's voice trembled violently.

Lu Zhaoming stopped, turned around and patted her head, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, nothing will happen. Remember, when you go in later, don't say anything, don't ask anything, just follow my instructions."

Xiao Cui nodded obediently, trying her best to calm herself down.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the underground facility.

At the entrance, several men in protective suits were lazily leaning against the wall, smoking.

Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then walked over with Xiao Cui.

"Stop! What are you doing?" one of the guards stopped them, his tone very unfriendly.

Lu Zhaoming feigned a submissive demeanor and said in a low voice, "We...we are new test subjects. Captain Agui sent us here."

The guard looked Lu Zhaoming up and down, his eyes filled with suspicion. "A-Gui? Why didn't he tell me?"

Lu Zhaoming quickly pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the guard. "This is the pass that Captain Agui gave us. Please take a look."

The guard took the note, read it carefully, and then nodded reluctantly. "Go in, but don't wander around. You'll be responsible if anything happens."

Lu Zhaoming quickly thanked him and then led Xiao Cui into the underground facility.

Upon entering the underground facility, a pungent odor immediately hits you, making you want to vomit.

"Ugh..." Xiao Cui couldn't help but gag.

Lu Zhaoming frowned, covered his mouth and nose, and said in a low voice, "Bear with it. This is a large biochemical laboratory. It smells of chemicals everywhere."

On both sides of the corridor were small cells, which held a large number of experimental subjects.

These experimental subjects were all emaciated and had empty eyes, like walking corpses.

A surge of intense anger welled up in Lu Zhaoming's heart.

"These bastards are utterly depraved!" he cursed inwardly.

Suddenly, he noticed a little girl huddled in a corner.

The little girl's body was covered in wounds.

Lu Zhaoming walked over, squatted down, and asked softly, "Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl looked up at Lu Zhaoming timidly and whispered, "I...I'm called Xiaodie."

"Xiaodie, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you," Lu Zhaoming said gently.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Xiaodie's eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I...I believe you."

"Xiaodie, why are you locked up here?" Lu Zhaoming asked.

"I...I have superpowers, they...they want to capture me for research." Xiaodie's voice was very soft, with a sob in it.

Lu Zhaoming was even more furious.

"Don't worry, I'll get you out of here," he said firmly.

With Xiaodie's help, Lu Zhaoming successfully evaded several patrol checks.

"Brother Lu, that's the monitoring room up ahead. Captain Agui is inside," Xiaodie said softly, pointing to a room in front of her.

Lu Zhaoming nodded, signaling Xiaodie to hide in the corner, and then quietly walked over himself.

Through the glass of the monitoring room, Lu Zhaoming saw that A Gui was sitting in front of the computer, staring at the screen.

"Hmph, trying to spy on me? No way!" Lu Zhaoming sneered and activated the analysis function of the "Doomsday Judgment System".

His brain was racing, and countless streams of data flashed before his eyes.

He quickly found the vulnerability in the monitoring system.

He hacked into the surveillance system without making a sound and froze the footage during a safe period.

"Done!" Lu Zhaoming smiled smugly.

In the monitoring room, Ah Gui stretched and yawned. "It should just be a false alarm, right? It scared the hell out of me."

He rubbed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and began to doze off.

Lu Zhaoming, with Xiaodie in tow, continued deeper into the laboratory.

The further you go in, the more pungent the smell becomes, and the more oppressive the environment becomes.

Suddenly, a chilling scream came from ahead.

Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat.

He quickened his pace and walked towards the direction from which the screams came.

Soon, he arrived at a huge room.

The room was filled with all sorts of experimental instruments.

Several men in white coats were busy at work.

In the center of the room, a test subject was strapped to an operating table, his body covered in tubes.
