"Who are you people? What do you want?" Assistant Liu asked, trying to sound intimidating.

Gu Yanlin ignored Assistant Liu, casually picked up an expensive ornament from his office desk, weighed it in his hand, and asked nonchalantly, "Where is the professor?"

[This guy really knows how to enjoy life. Such a large piece of top-grade imperial green jade. I'll give it to my sister later, and her storage space will be expanded again.] Gu Yanlin thought to himself, looking at the Pixiu ornament in his hand.

Gu Yanzhi's space was already quite large, but they wouldn't complain about having even more space.

"What do you want to do?" Assistant Liu asked warily, instead of answering Gu Yanlin's question.

"Xiao Liu, even if we want to do something, you can't stop us now. Just tell us honestly where the professor is."

“Anyway, this place is only so big. Even if you don’t tell us, we’ll find out soon enough,” Zhao Rui said, standing in front of Assistant Liu, fiddling with the red-stained knife in his hand.

Zhao Rui and Gu Yanlin were having a great time when Chu Guodong, seeing that they were about to continue, stopped them, saying, "Stop fooling around, let's finish this quickly."

They've been down here for a long time, and people outside may have already noticed something. There's not much time left.

“Okay, Captain,” Zhao Rui replied seriously in a second, his playful smile vanishing.

"You're Chu Guodong, and you're from Squad 532?" Upon hearing the word "team leader," Assistant Liu immediately realized what was going on. He was the one who devised the plan to capture Chu Guodong, but he never expected to fall into a trap.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm"

Without giving Assistant Liu any more time to say anything, Zhao Rui simply tied him up, took off Assistant Liu's smelly socks, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Aren't you disgusting?" Gu Yanlin said with disdain upon seeing Zhao Rui's actions.

Looking at Assistant Liu, who was trapped tightly, Zhao Rui seemed to realize the disgusting thing he had just done. He quickly wiped his hands on Assistant Liu's clothes and said stubbornly, "What they did was even more disgusting."

"team leader"

Gu Yanlin opened a door at random and exclaimed in surprise.

Inside the room, a man who looked to be in his fifties, with graying hair, sat in a chair directly opposite the doorway. His face was pale, and his eyes were empty and crazed. His body slumped limply in the chair, and blood was still dripping from the hole in his temple.

At his feet, a black pistol lay conspicuously on the ground.

It seems... it seems like he committed suicide.

"Mmm mmm mmm"

"Hmm"

"Woo"

"Woo"

Upon seeing the scene inside the room, Assistant Liu struggled incessantly, mumbling as if he wanted to say something, his tone becoming sorrowful.

Zhao Rui disgustedly removed the smelly sock from his mouth and heard him wailing in disbelief, "Professor, Professor," as he shuffled along the ground, trying to get to the person in the chair.

He was an orphan from a young age. The professor adopted him from a cruel orphanage, taught him how to live, sent him to school, and helped him live a normal life. After graduation, he continued to serve the professor.

He had always regarded the professor as his father, and now that his father was dead, how could he not be heartbroken?

This person was too noisy, so Zhao Rui simply knocked him unconscious to stop the noise from giving him a headache.

The four searched the room for a long time and found several photos and a bunch of notes and papers. Combined with Liu's assistant's reaction, it was enough to prove that the person who committed suicide in the chair was the owner of the laboratory.

Judging from his recent death, he must have been keeping a close eye on the outside world, and pulled the trigger shortly before they opened the door.

As expected of the owner of the underground laboratory, he has three well-equipped laboratories, each with complete experimental and medical equipment.

There were experimental subjects on the hospital beds.

Unfortunately, they arrived too late; of the three test subjects, only one remained alive.

They were utterly incredulous when they saw Chu Guodong; they were saved, finally saved. The man, bound to the hospital bed, struggled, tears of joy streaming down his face.

Over here, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao finally managed to cut through the wall. They shouted to the people inside, "Everyone inside, move out! I'm going to kick the wall, don't hit anything!"

Seeing the faint light peeking through the crack, the young man gripped Yang's arm tightly, repeatedly exclaiming excitedly, "We're saved! We can get out!"

Yang was also very excited; his lips trembled slightly, as if he were trying his best to suppress his emotions. He wanted to say something, but found it difficult to speak. It was as if something was stuck in his throat, preventing him from making a sound.

The others also retreated to the corner furthest from the light, huddled together, and didn't say anything even when someone bumped into them, all looking expectantly at that sliver of light.

"Buzzing"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The cutting machine cut the last brick, and Song Zhao kicked it hard. The resulting arc-shaped wall, like a door, was smashed outwards with a roar and dust. People who had been locked in darkness for a long time finally saw their light.

The underground laboratory is taken care of; now it's the people outside who are dealt with.

After the group reunited with the test subjects, they successfully found the exit by following the signs marked by Experimenter Liu and Assistant Qian.

The exit and the entrance are not in the same place.

Gu Yanlin took the lead, sticking his head out to peek, then immediately pulled back, without alerting the people outside.

The exit point is the hospital at the Liancheng base.

No wonder Li Qiang saw the corpses being carried out here several times.

However, it seemed that people outside had already discovered that something had happened at the laboratory. Gu Yanlin noticed that the hospital was now completely surrounded. At the exit, people were also staring intently.
