"Didn't I tell you to send me what I needed as soon as possible? As soon as possible. Are you trying to kill me by taking so long? If you can't do it, then get out. There are plenty of people who want this job."

"You need to understand that even if you quit, you can't leave this lab," Liu, the lab technician, shouted angrily at Xiao Qian as soon as he entered.

When I ran into Lab Technician Zhang outside earlier, Lab Technician Liu was extremely polite; he's a completely different person compared to now.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. I'll do it, I definitely will. I love this job so much," Xiao Qian said, seemingly frightened, trying to appease him.

"Where's the stuff?" Lab technician Liu glared at him and asked angrily. Xiao Qian quickly handed the stuff to him to prevent him from going berserk.

"Brother Liu, the lab cleaners have arrived. What do you think?" Seeing that Liu, the lab technician, had gotten what he wanted, his anger seemed to have subsided, and Xiao Qian quickly asked about the cleaning arrangements.

He had only been in the lab for a short time and was unfamiliar with many things, so he didn't dare to make arrangements on his own.

Although Liu, the lab technician, had a terrible attitude, he didn't want to leave his side. He knew that he had inquired about the assistants who had been sent back, and just as Liu had said, they hadn't been able to leave the lab either.

Instead, they became experimental subjects and returned again.

He was terrified that he would end up with the same fate. So, even though Liu, the lab technician, had a bad temper and would beat and scold him, he had to endure it.

"What am I looking at? You can't even handle this little thing properly. Do you expect me to wait for you? Get out of here!" It's unclear what angered Liu the lab technician this time, but he shoved Xiao Qian out of his workspace.

Standing at the door of Liu's lab, Xiao Qian suppressed her anger and turned to Gu Yanzhi and the others, giving them instructions and threats: "Except for this room, which you can't go into, you'd better clean the rest properly. If any part is not clean, I'll report you to the higher-ups."

It seems he vented all the anger he received from Liu, the lab technician, on them.

Gu Yanzhi and the others didn't tolerate him. What were they going to do? Their goal was to smash up the laboratory.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Qian, who had been subdued and tied up, asked tremblingly.

"Hehehe, what do you think we should do?" Zhao Rui held a knife and gestured left and right on Xiao Qian's face, making him look exactly like a bully.

"Stop playing around and get to work!" Gu Yanlin, who was passing by, couldn't stand Zhao Rui's bullying behavior any longer. He grabbed Zhao Rui by the back of his collar and dragged him away, ending his performance.

"Small change, small change, are you kidding me?"

"What are you doing, making such a racket?" The loud smashing and breaking noise startled Liu, the lab technician, who came out of the workshop cursing.

Upon seeing the scene outside, Liu, the lab technician, was shocked and demanded sharply, "Who are you people?"

As he asked the question, he retreated towards the back of the workshop.

The doors to the work area, like those to the laboratory, are specially treated and cannot be opened without special methods or by opening them from the inside. This serves as a safeguard for the lab technicians.

Unfortunately, Song Zhao had already blocked the way, and Liu, the lab technician, was tied up like Xiao Qian.

Song Zhao and Lin Cheng separated the two and interrogated them separately, obtaining the same underground laboratory construction diagram as Zhang, the lab technician.

These people are definitely doing experiments; they must draw a lot of structural diagrams for experiments, as their drawings are quite realistic, except for the content...

Comparing the three pictures side-by-side, several differences are clearly visible. It's normal for everyone to have their own ulterior motives; it's just a matter of who's being more honest.

"Looking at these, who should I trust more?" Zhao Rui placed the drawings of the two men in front of each other, dragged a chair over, sat down in front of them, crossed his legs, and tapped his feet together. If he had a cigarette in his mouth, who could tell him apart from the hooligan?

"Mine, mine is definitely reliable. Nothing I wrote on it is false," Xiao Qian said hurriedly.

“Mine is the reliable one. He’s only been here a short time. How much does he know about the lab as well as I do?” Lab technician Liu glared at Xiao Qian and quickly defended himself.

They were afraid that if they spoke too late, they would lose their lives.

“How about this, I can’t tell who’s telling the truth and who’s lying. Only one of you can survive. You two have to report each other, and whoever reports the most things will live.” Zhao Rui had a flash of inspiration and cheered in his heart for his brilliant idea.

"He drew it wrong here. This isn't the exit. Pressing the wrong button will trigger the alarm."

"He didn't paint here, but there's a security camera here. If he's caught on camera, it will call the police."

"..."

"He killed many people; one person died in the lab every day, and I didn't get involved."

"He became my assistant because he recruited many people from outside, which earned him a promotion."

"I don't"

"You dare say you didn't? Yes, yes, I know you were tricked into coming here too. Do you think I didn't do my research beforehand?"

As soon as Zhao Rui finished speaking, the two began to expose each other, starting with just the drawings the other had made, but later they were so eager to reveal even the color of the other's underwear that day.

"Alright," Zhao Rui stopped them as their conversation went further and further astray. He had already found what he was looking for in their words, and combined with the diagram from Zhang the lab technician, a complete map of the underground laboratory appeared.

"Sir, what do you think?" The two looked at Zhao Rui hesitantly, both hoping that he would spare their lives.

"You stay here. Go stand aside and wait. I'll ask him if I have any questions. If he's wrong, you can report him. This is your last chance to live."

In the end, it was Liu, the lab technician, who won because he had spent more time in the lab and knew more. However, Zhao Rui, being cunning, didn't let him off so easily. Instead, he made both of them stay behind. If they had any more questions later, they would both tell the truth in order to survive, because it would be hard to say who would be left alone.

To prevent the two from arguing and giving him a headache, he casually grabbed two pieces of cloth from the lab, rolled them up, and stuffed them into their mouths.

We have obtained the complete map of the laboratory; the next step is to develop a rescue plan.

They've been inside for several hours, and it's almost dawn; they can't afford to delay any longer. The people outside have probably already discovered the four of them are missing and will likely seal off the lab soon.

"Captain, Sister Gu, Brother Song," Zhao Rui handed the organized laboratory map to the three people who were discussing together.

Coincidentally, their current location was only separated from the place where the experimental subjects were being held by a wall, which made their movements easier.
