Chapter 277: Long-term planning

"No matter what, since they set up an underground laboratory, there must be some secrets that cannot be revealed." Qiao Yu's eyes sank slightly, and the light in his eyes flickered.

"There are a lot of complicated mental fluctuations in this underground laboratory." Jiang Zhan interrupted at this time, "We can't rule out the possibility that this is the sample library."

Qiao Yu and Yu Qingchuan were both stunned when they heard this.

"Set up the sample library underground?" Yu Qingchuan frowned, his tone full of confusion. "What's the logic behind this?"

"I'm not sure yet." Jiang Zhan continued, "It's just a possibility. We'll have to wait until we go to other places to check to find out the specific situation."

Qiao Yu pursed her lips and said, "Then let's go look somewhere else first."

Now their movements are restricted and it is not convenient for them to go in and check directly.

We can only write down all the problematic locations first, and then investigate them one by one after confirming the location of the sample library.

So the three of them came out of the main building and went to another auxiliary building on the south side.

In addition to the dormitory building, the A City Research Institute has a total of three buildings used for research work.

——The main building and two auxiliary buildings, one in the south and one in the north.

The annex building on the south side only has four floors, so the three of them went directly to the top floor and began searching from top to bottom.

But I kept searching until the next floor, and didn't find anything unusual.

Not to mention the sample library, not even a room with any signs of life was found.

"Isn't this building used for experiments?" Yu Qingchuan asked in confusion, "How come there isn't a single living thing?"

But it doesn't look like this building is unused.

Moreover, many rooms contain experimental equipment, which means that this place was definitely used for experiments before.

"It's also possible that the experimental subject or research object was moved away."

Qiao Yu had also participated in some exchange meetings in his previous life. Many research institutes would hide their unfinished research projects during the exchange meetings.

After all, although there will be friendly exchanges between bases, there is still competition.

Jiang Zhan didn't say anything at first, but after reaching the first floor, he led Qiao Yu and Yu Qingchuan directly to the door of a research laboratory and raised his chin slightly. "Although there are no living things in this building in public, there is also a hidden research laboratory underground."

Qiao Yu and Yu Qingchuan looked at the laboratory in front of them and fell silent.

Why is there an underground laboratory?

Does the research institute in City A conduct research underground every day?

Aren’t you feeling bored?

"Could it be that the building on the north side... also has an underground laboratory?" Yu Qingchuan asked softly.

"No." Jiang Zhan shook his head slightly, "There's no need to go to that building. There's no spiritual fluctuation there."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu tugged at Jiang Zhan's clothes and asked, "Zhan, which one has more spiritual fluctuations here or in the main building?"

Jiang Zhan thought for two seconds, "There are a lot of spiritual fluctuations in these two laboratories. Judging from the quantity, they are almost on par."

“And they are all a mixture of plants and animals.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu pursed the corners of his lips slightly.

"Could it be that... these two places are sample libraries?" Yu Qingchuan frowned again, "Then won't we have to check both places then?"

Where did a small city like A get so much manpower and resources to collect so many samples?

If there is no trick involved, he would never believe it even if you kill him.

Qiao Yu didn't say anything, but what she was thinking was almost the same as Yu Qingchuan's.

Through today's investigation, Qiao Yu was almost certain that Han Ming must have been behind this in City A.

And judging by the current situation, Han Ming started planning in City A much earlier than City G...

"Let's go back first." Qiao Yu whispered, "We can't get in now anyway. Let's find out the situation in their control room first, then we can discuss sampling."

"Um."

Jiang Zhan and Yu Qingchuan naturally had no objections. They nodded and then returned to the dormitory building with Qiao Yu.

When the three of them returned, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen had not returned yet.

But Jiang Zhan sensed the mental fluctuations of Xiang Heng and Baili Zhuo.

They were also arranged to live on the same floor with Qiao Yu and others.

Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan sent Yu Qingchuan back to his room first, and then took advantage of the fact that there were no patrolling guards around and quickly returned to their own room.

As soon as I walked in and sat down, I heard a knock on the door.

Qiao Yu immediately looked at Jiang Zhan with a questioning look in his eyes.

Jiang Zhan leaned close to Qiao Yu's ear and whispered, "Xiang Heng."

Then he got up and went to the door to open it.

Xiang Heng was worried that Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu had not returned yet, so he just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect that the door would actually open.

Behind the door was Jiang Zhan's expressionless face.

Xiang Heng always felt a little scared when facing Jiang Zhan.

He couldn't explain the specific reason.

Jiang Zhan is obviously not a talkative person and doesn't like to show off. But he follows Qiao Yu like a shadow every day and never leaves her side.

But he just felt that Jiang Zhan was a dangerous person.

He originally thought that he was overthinking it, but after discussing it with his teammates, he found that everyone felt the same way.

From then on, Xiang Heng became more wary of Jiang Zhan.

Although he believed that Qiao Yu and the others would not harm him, he still had to maintain his sense of propriety.

After all, Jiang Zhan doesn't look like a person who would show mercy.

Jiang Zhan stepped aside to make way and motioned Xiang Heng to come in.

Xiang Heng walked in and found Qiao Yu sitting on the sofa beside him waiting for him.

"Captain Xiang, please sit down." Qiao Yu smiled at him, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that he should sit on a chair beside him.

Xiang Heng noticed that the sofa Qiao Yu was sitting on was very new in style and the fabric was very clean, and it didn't seem to be originally brought to this room.

But he didn't ask any more questions and just sat down on a chair nearby.

After Jiang Zhan saw him sit down, he returned to Qiao Yu and sat down next to him.

"Captain Xiang, is there something you want to talk to us about?" Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked softly.

Xiang Heng didn't beat around the bush with Qiao Yu and went straight to the point: "Captain Qiao, I want to ask about Manman."

"And...about Chu Yi."

In fact, he had figured out some things about Chu Yi after he got separated from Qiao Yu and the others and on his way to the survivor base in City A, but he was not sure, so he needed to verify it.

Moreover, he really couldn't understand why someone with Chu Yi's identity and status would betray Commander Xie and the base?

Everything a person does has a purpose.

That Chu Yi...

Xiang Heng pursed his lips and said, "Captain Qiao, is Chu Yi's target this time... Professor Kang and Professor Shen?"
