Chapter 41 Dive into Nuclear Power
After two days of intense preparation, Su Wanqing, Lu Zhao, Lin Che and Xiao Ran finally arrived near the abandoned nuclear power plant in the north.
The night enveloped this desolate land, and the outline of the nuclear power plant was vaguely visible in the distance.
"According to intelligence, the entrance to the underground laboratory is just below the main control room," Lu Zhao whispered, "but the entire area is heavily guarded."
Xiao Ran frowned and asked, "How do we break through the defense line?"
Lu Zhao pointed to the distance: "Look over there, there are multiple surveillance cameras and automatic defense turrets. We have to deal with these first."
"Do you have any plans?" Su Wanqing asked.
Lu Zhao nodded: "I can use my mechanical control ability. But I need a bait to attract the guards' attention."
Lin Che looked around and found an abandoned robot: "How about that one?"
After careful observation, Lu Zhao agreed: "Very good, I can control it."
Xiao Ran seemed a little anxious: "What if something goes wrong? We have no backup."
Su Wanqing comforted him, "Don't worry."
Lu Zhao began to control the abandoned robot, letting it move slowly towards the defense facility.
Suddenly, the robot started up, making a noisy sound.
"There's movement!" a guard shouted. Several armed men immediately ran towards the robot.
Lu Zhao seized the opportunity and quickly destroyed the wiring of some surveillance cameras.
The automatic defense turret failed due to damage to the circuit, and an infiltration channel appeared.
"Hurry!" Lu Zhao shouted in a low voice.
The four of them quickly sneaked in along the planned route. They passed through a weed-covered open space and came to a rusty iron gate.
Lin Che gently pushed the door open: "This should lead to the underground."
They walked carefully down the steps and into a dim corridor.
The damp air was filled with a musty smell.
Xiao Ran looked around warily: "It's too quiet, I don't like this feeling."
Su Wanqing comforted him: "Don't be nervous, we have made full preparations before we came."
They continued to move forward and suddenly heard footsteps in the distance.
“Someone is coming!” Lin Che reminded in a low voice.
Lu Zhao quickly opened a door next to him: "Go in quickly!"
The four of them hid in an abandoned storage room and held their breath. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then gradually faded away.
"Phew, that was close." Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ran was still on edge: "We have to be more careful. There are more guards here than we thought."
Lin Che nodded: "Yes, we have to speed up. The main control room should be not far ahead."
They cautiously left the storeroom and continued down the corridor.
Soon, they came to a heavy metal door.
Lu Zhao carefully checked the door lock: "This is an electronic lock. Let me see if I can crack it."
He placed his hand on the door lock, closed his eyes and concentrated. After a few seconds, the door lock made a slight "click".
"Success." Lu Zhao pushed open the door.
They entered a large room surrounded by complicated instruments and control consoles.
"This is the main control room," Lin Che looked around, "The entrance to the underground laboratory should be nearby."
Su Wanqing began to check the console: "Maybe these devices contain the information we need."
Lu Zhao walked towards a host: "Let me try."
He started operating the computer and soon found some encrypted files.
"I need a password," Lu Zhao frowned, "Lin Che, can you try?"
Lin Che nodded and placed his hand on the host. A drop of blue liquid oozed out from his fingertips and flowed into the interface.
The encryption lock on the screen is released and the files begin to open automatically.
"That's great!" Su Wanqing said in surprise.
Xiao Ran stood guard at the door vigilantly: "Hurry and see if there is any useful information. We have to hurry."
Lu Zhao quickly browsed the contents of the file: "Here is the floor plan of the laboratory and some experimental data."
"Where's Xiao Yu?" Xiao Ran asked anxiously, "Any news about her?"
Lu Zhao continued to search: "Wait. S-7 is mentioned here. It should be Xiao Yu. She is locked in the special isolation room on the bottom floor."
"We have to save her!" Xiao Ran said firmly.
Lin Che warned: "But we have to be careful. This information shows that there are many dangerous mutant creatures in the laboratory."
Su Wanqing nodded: "Yes, we have to make a careful plan."
Just as they were discussing, they suddenly heard an alarm.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Lu Zhao exclaimed.
Xiao Ran immediately entered combat mode: "We have to leave here quickly."
Lin Che pointed to a hidden door: "Over there! The floor plan shows that it is the passage leading to the lower level."
The four of them quickly rushed to the door. Lu Zhao used his ability to unlock the door, and they rushed into a narrow passage.
"Be careful of the steps!" Su Wanqing reminded.

They quickly went down to the bottom floor and came to a spacious laboratory.
All around were various strange instruments and glass containers filled with unknown liquids.
"This is where they carry out the 'biological reset plan'," Lu Zhao looked around, "It's terrible."
Lin Che suddenly pointed to a corner: "Look over there!"
They saw a huge glass container with a figure floating inside.
"Xiao Yu!" Xiao Ran rushed over.
But at this moment, the door of the laboratory was knocked open, and a group of fully armed people rushed in.
"Intruders! Catch them!" the leader shouted.
Xiao Ran stood in front of the container and took a fighting stance: "Don't even think about hurting my sister!"
Lu Zhao quickly controlled the surrounding instruments to create a barrier: "We have to find a way to escape!"
Su Wanqing activated her space ability: "Let me try to open a channel!"
Lin Che used his water-related abilities to control the liquid in the laboratory to form a water wall to block the enemy's advance.
At this critical moment, the container where Yang Ye was suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
"What happened?" Su Wanqing asked in surprise.
Lu Zhao stared at the data on the instrument: "Oh my God, her energy index is rising sharply!"
Xiao Yu in the container opened his eyes, and a powerful energy wave swept through the entire laboratory.
Xiao Yu in the container opened his eyes. A powerful energy wave swept through the entire laboratory. The dazzling light forced everyone to close their eyes.
"What happened?" Su Wanqing covered her eyes with her hands.
The energy fluctuations gradually subsided, and the lights in the laboratory flickered.
Xiao Ran was the first to rush to the container, but found that Xiao Yu had disappeared.
"Xiao Yu!" Xiao Ran shouted anxiously, "Where did she go?"
Lu Zhao quickly checked the instrument data: "Energy fluctuations caused some kind of spatial displacement. She may have been teleported to another place."
"We have to find her quickly," Xiao Ran gritted his teeth, "She must still be in this facility."
Lin Che pointed to a dark passage: "Over there! The traces of energy fluctuations point in that direction."
The four of them quickly ran towards the passage, hearing the shouts of armed men behind them.
The passage was narrow and dark, with only occasional emergency lights on the wall providing dim light.
"Be careful, the terrain here is complicated," Lu Zhao reminded, "According to the floor plan I saw before, this passage should lead to the inner area of the nuclear power plant."
Just as they walked a few dozen meters, they heard a low roar coming from the front.
"What's that sound?" Su Wanqing asked vigilantly.
Xiao Ran raised the flashlight and shone it forward: "I don't know, but it doesn't sound like a human."
Lin Che frowned and said, "It could be a mutant creature. Previous information mentioned that biological experiments were conducted here."
They continued to move forward cautiously, and the roar became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, the flashlight shone on a pair of glowing eyes, followed by a second pair, and a third pair (End of this chapter)
