The stark contrast between the yellow sand and the tall grass was striking. The sunlight was no longer so intense, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of fresh grass.

"Rest here for ten minutes."

Apart from the four guards, everyone else sat cross-legged on some grass.

"General Yu, there's no need to be so vigilant. The environment here is not suitable for large creatures to live in."

A researcher took off his helmet, took out a water bottle, and took a few sips.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei nodded and told the guards to sit down and rest as well.

"Is this General Yu's first time here?" Another researcher in his fifties took out a map. "I vaguely remember coming here once with my father when I was eight or nine years old. Back then, this place wasn't like this; there were many houses."

"Professor Wang, is your father a researcher here?"

“No.” Professor Wang shook his head. “My father was an experimental subject, but at that time the rulers were busy with the war and had no time to attend to this place. Apart from a few important experimental subjects, everyone else could come and go freely.”

"This place must have been very beautiful before."

Yu Wei had heard Lin Ling say that the laboratory was surrounded by lush green grass, tall trees, and countless fragrant wildflowers, as well as a beautiful fountain.

Lin Ling is the offspring of an experimental subject. Before the age of five, she was kept in a laboratory full of bottles and jars. When she occasionally went out, she was put in electronic handcuffs and shackles.

He had no name, only a number, 1733.

Later, the Allied forces breached the laboratory, and the Lin family adopted him, giving him the name Lin Ling, the same pleasant-sounding name as his brother Lin Ling.

“The interior of the laboratory is even more beautiful.” Professor Wang stroked his beard as he walked and said, “This grass is called ‘sky-covering grass.’ It is drought-resistant, easy to grow, and has a dense root system that can effectively block yellow sand.”

Professor Wang carefully picked a handful of grass seeds and put them into a small jar. These were important research materials and should be taken back with him.

"Many researchers at the Oran Labs are descendants of test subjects from the Etolan Labs, and some of them are test subjects themselves."

"Although the test subjects and those imprisoned in the laboratory were rescued, they were unable to adapt to the outside world and suffered a lot of bullying. Later, Mr. Lin established the Oran Laboratory and took us in."

The experiments conducted in the Imperial Laboratory of Etolan were extremely brutal and inhumane; people were no longer human, but merely cold, lifeless numbers.

Researchers have even gone so far as to propose the absurd idea of ​​fusing human and animal genes to give humans speed and physical abilities comparable to animals, or extracting plant genes and fusing them with humans to give pheromones different effects, killing people silently.

Although the laboratory was destroyed, their lives were irreversible; no, they couldn't even be called human. They were seen as outcasts, driven out, hunted, and traded as commodities, living at the very bottom of society.

The group searched for Chu Yunmu's group as they traveled, while the researchers collected samples.

Not far along, the tall grass gradually thinned out, and the exquisite patterns on the broken stone pillars hidden in the grass seemed to weep in the wind, telling tales of past glory and the cruelty of war.

Yu Wei's team chose the route furthest from the rendezvous point and walked for three days, finding nothing except for plant and animal samples.

Just as they reached the meeting point, Lin Gu, who was scouting from a tree, blocked Yu Wei's way with a hook.

"Yu Wei, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you all morning."

Lin Gu jumped down from the tree, grabbed Yu Wei's arm, and said mysteriously, "I'll show you something good."

"Ta-da..."

Lin Gu removed the hood from the face of the person who had been tied up like a dumpling and thrown on the ground. Yu Wei glanced at him and laughed, "Not bad luck, a first-class merit delivered to your door."

The person bound tightly was none other than En'er, the escaped rebel leader.

"How were you caught?"

"Hey, we were resting here when a big black rat suddenly darted out of the grass. I looked and, oh my god! It was one of En'er's men! So we caught it and sent people to search the whole area." Lin Gu was very excited: "Guess what? These guys were sleeping!"

There was no day or night here, so the rebels couldn't adjust their schedules. Coupled with their unfamiliarity with the area, they were completely disoriented and could only wander aimlessly like headless flies. Having been trapped for so long, their food and water were almost gone, so they could only try to sleep as much as possible to conserve their energy.

The exhausted, hungry and on the verge of collapse rebels were no match for the well-trained Allied forces, who had access to high-tech blackout sleeping bags, plenty of food, and were in good health. Lin captured them effortlessly.

"sharp."

Yu Wei gave a thumbs up, saying that luck is also a part of strength.

"Guess how they got in?"

"How did you get in?"

"They captured Chen Du. That kid's really pitiful, being taken hostage..."

"He's not here?"

“He got away.” Lin Gu patted the mud off his trousers and said angrily, “Yun Mu brought people in to save him, but who knew that kid would run away as soon as he came in and disappear without a trace.”

"Where is Yunmu?"

"Didn't see him." Lin Gu shook his head and looked at Wu Ming: "How's it going on your end?"

"No."

Wu Ming shook his head, and the two looked at Yu Wei, knowing that he hadn't found it either.

"Alright then, Wu Ming, you take your troops and these rebels and retreat to await further orders."

As soon as Lin Gu finished speaking, Wu Ming looked at Lin Gu in disbelief and waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, no, this is what you captured, Major General Lin. You should lead them out."

No one knows the specifics inside. As long as he takes the person out, everyone else will assume that the credit is his.
