Howie handed him the water bottle and said, "Drink some water first. Be careful of dehydration."
Seeing Li Shu take the kettle, Huo Wei offered his opinion, "I think the chances of being far away here are higher. After all, in such weather and in such a desolate location, generally no one would choose to come here. This way, it would be very easy to create a quiet environment."
Li Shu raised an eyebrow, "How about making a bet?"
"How do you determine winning or losing?" Howie asked with a chuckle.
"It's very simple." Li Shu smiled and narrowed his eyes, saying to the cunning fox, "If you win, then I will let you do whatever you want!"
"Anything?" Howie asked.
The ambiguity in the other party's words instantly let Li Shu know the other party's true thoughts. He couldn't help but glare at the man, but still nodded seriously, "Yes, anything is fine, as long as you can win!"
"Okay, I'll take the bet!" Howie also made the decision very quickly.
Li Shu narrowed his eyes, "Calm down first, I haven't finished yet. If I win, I want to be on top!"
Howie narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems you still have evil intentions!"
Li Shu chuckled, "When it comes to this, I'm an indestructible cockroach. To achieve this goal, of course I'll do my best to grab all the resources around me!"
At this point, he raised his eyebrows at Huo Wei again, "How is it? Is it congested?"
Huo Wei narrowed his eyes. Just when Li Shu thought that the other party was about to regret and choose to withdraw, he saw a faint smile suddenly appear on Huo Wei's lips. He laughed, "Okay, let's do as we said. If I win, you can do whatever I want. If I win, I will listen to you and let you control me!"
Li Shu was filled with joy when he heard this, "Then it's settled!"
Howie nodded.
Li Shu was also very satisfied. He smiled and continued, "In that case, shouldn't we discuss whether there is a research institute in this desert?"
"One person chooses yes, and one chooses no. If no in this place, then we continue to the next destination. If no in either place, then we return everything to the way it was before. What do you think?"
"Your proposal is fair, and I have no objection. In that case, does that mean our bet is now effective?"
"My opinion is that the institute is in the desert."
Upon hearing this, Li Shu slightly arched his brows and said with a smile, "Then I'm saying that the research institute isn't here!"
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other, both with a determined smile on their faces.
This time, the two did not talk, but used all their abilities to detect and observe the situation in the desert and look for the research institute in the desert.
The two drove for two hours and had already traveled most of the desert, but still couldn't find the location of the research institute.
Seeing this, Li Shu's face instantly turned into a bright smile, "Huo Wei, look at it now, shouldn't you admit defeat?"
Huo Wei looked at Li Shu with a smile and said, "Isn't there still one-third left to find? Once we have finished carpet-scanning the desert, if the other party is really not here, then I will never go back on my promise to you!"
Huo Wei had already said this much. Seeing this, Li Shu stopped talking and shrugged his shoulders. He cooperated with Huo Wei to scan the desert again to find the location of the research institute.
Suddenly, as they were near the desert area, a beeping sound came from the machine. Li Shu's face changed and his eyes darkened slightly, "No way?"
I hope he won’t fail this time!
Thinking of the meaningful look in Huo Weigang's eyes when he came to see him, Li Shu couldn't help but get furious. If he let this guy do whatever he wanted to him, he would definitely die!
Although Li Shu was a little scared about this matter, he had already said it, so he still gritted his teeth and walked with the other party to the place where the signal sounded, and carefully searched for the entrance to the research institute together with the other party.
Li Shu and Huo Wei searched around for a long time and finally found the button to enter the underground laboratory next to a green cactus. Then with a loud bang, the door of the laboratory slowly appeared in front of them.
Li Shu and Huo Wei looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, then held hands and slowly walked towards the laboratory.
The laboratory was extremely desolate. Not to mention the thick layer of dust on the ground, just the old age of the surrounding facilities was enough to tell that this research institute had been abandoned for a long time.
Li Shu exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems we are too late. They have already escaped from here."
Huo Wei didn't show too much regret, and said calmly, "It's normal. Chen Liang escaped. Regardless of whether he is dead or alive after escaping, their position has been exposed. For safety reasons, it is normal to move to another place."
Huo Wei paused slightly and continued, "It's just that this research institute is not where Chen Liang was then. It should be said that this research institute has existed longer!"
"What?" Li Shu looked at him in surprise.
Huo Wei whispered to Li Shu, "Look at the machinery here. They're obviously antiques. And the dust beneath our feet isn't thick enough to have formed in just a few years. And these tools on the wall..."
Huo Wei whispered to Li Shu about the things they were seeing. The youngest thing here was nearly a hundred years old.
So by this calculation, this research institute that conducts experiments on star beasts has existed for at least a hundred years!
Li Shu was filled with uncontrollable anger when he thought of this. "Are these guys crazy? They don't even take human life seriously for the sake of experiments and research!"
Chen Liang also said that this organization is deeply rooted and has existed in the empire for many years, but hearing about it and seeing it with one's own eyes are two different concepts.
When I think of those star beasts, they already have not much time to enjoy themselves due to the high risk, and they are forced to undergo human experiments by these guys. This leaves no way for the star beasts to survive!
Especially since Huo Wei is also a star beast, when he thought about what would happen if he had not come to this world, if he had been tricked into the research institute and then became like Chen Liang, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart!
Huo Wei noticed Li Shu's attitude. He didn't say much, but reached out and held Li Shu's hand tightly, interlocking their fingers, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry too much, I'm still with you now."
Li Shu's emotions calmed down a lot after hearing this. He exhaled lightly, then looked up at Huo Wei and said in a deep voice, "Huo Wei, I want to destroy the institute before I leave!"
