This time, Ye Lei was smarter. He didn't rush into the room recklessly like before. Instead, he chose to gently push open the door first. If there was someone inside, they would definitely ask what was going on.
However, after waiting for a full two minutes, there was still no movement inside the house, so it seemed that no one was there.
Ye Lei and his two companions went inside and closed the door behind them. However, when he saw the scene inside, he was almost scared out of his wits.
The image that originally came to mind for the three of them was this: a clean and tidy hospital bed in a spacious and bright room, with spotless white sheets;
Next to the hospital bed stood a wooden desk with a plate on it, filled with various medical instruments—syringes, cotton balls, alcohol, and various medicines neatly arranged.
But the reality was quite different from what I had imagined. What I saw was terrifying: the first thing that caught my eye was a black iron chair with chains, as if it foreshadowed that the person sitting on it would suffer the pain of being imprisoned and bound.
Next was the equally black table, its empty surface appearing particularly eerie; finally, the gaze fell upon the ground, where mottled bloodstains and yellowish unidentified liquid sediment mingled, emitting a pungent and unpleasant odor.
The entire scene was chilling; it was hard to believe that this was an injection room. Instead, it resembled a sinister and terrifying interrogation room used for torture in a movie.
What exactly happened? Why did such a strange scene occur?
Such a bizarre scene made Ye Lei wary; he felt that there was an indescribable, abnormal atmosphere everywhere.
Could it be that these doctors are using zombies or surviving humans to conduct some kind of horrific experiment? The thought sent a chill down Ye Lei's spine.
Ye Lei's sharp gaze swept across the surroundings, finally settling on the blue trash can filled with syringes to the side. He slowly approached the trash can, pondering to himself, "What exactly are these syringes for?"
Filled with doubt, Ye Lei pushed the trash can, pretending to collect garbage, and walked towards the next room. Every step was filled with unknowns and dangers, but he was not afraid and was determined to uncover the truth behind this mysterious place.
The next room was the "detention cell," which wasn't far away. However, before we even got close, screams of agony emanated from inside.
Without a doubt, this place should be where those experimental subjects were imprisoned, but were they survivors or zombies? Ye Lei couldn't help but wonder.
He carefully pushed the door open a crack and squinted to peek inside. What he saw shocked him—the room was filled with countless iron cages, and each cage contained a zombie of various shapes and grotesque faces!
They huddled together, one after another, as if seeking their last hope of survival in this cramped space. Even more chilling, two people dressed in white coats were feeding these zombies!
In an instant, Ye Lei recalled the scene when the military captured Tu Xingsun. If he hadn't intervened to save him back then, Tu Xingsun would probably be locked up in this dark and hopeless cage like that poor guy!
Ye Lei gently opened the door and carefully pushed the trash can, trying not to make a sound.
However, despite his caution, he immediately aroused the vigilance of the two men.
What are you people doing?
One of them asked sharply, a puzzled look in his eyes.
Ye Lei calmly replied, "Oh, we're here to clean up the trash."
"You've come to the wrong place, there's no trash here!"
Another person retorted without hesitation.
"Okay, we'll leave right away."
Ye Lei verbally agreed, but secretly plotted his next move. Just then, he quietly activated his superpower—teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared between the two men like a ghost, and swiftly raised a lightsaber that shimmered with blue light, placing it firmly against their necks.
"Who are you? Why are you suddenly here?"
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the two people were completely stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Don't shout! Or I'll lock you in a cage!"
Ye Lei threatened viciously.
At the same time, he gestured to Tang Xiaoting to close the room door quickly to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
"Are you not even one of our lab's people? Did you just do something that could be considered a superpower?"
One of them finally came to his senses and asked in astonishment.
What do you think?
Ye Lei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"Could you be a superhuman who escaped from a laboratory?"
The other person swallowed nervously, his voice trembling slightly as he asked.
"Yes, I accidentally got lost and forgot how to get back. Could you please give me directions?"
Ye Lei said, feigning helplessness.
However, this was precisely his true purpose—to extract information from the laboratory through dialogue.
“Keep walking straight ahead along the road outside the door… No, you’re not from here at all! Who are you?”
The man suddenly realized something, stared wide-eyed at the lightsaber held to his neck, and trembled all over.
It was then that he suddenly realized that there had never been anyone like Ye Lei in their laboratory.
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me, what are you trying to achieve by locking up so many zombies?"
Now that his identity had been exposed, Ye Lei stopped trying to hide it and went straight to the point, pressing the other party for answers.
"Hmph... These are things you can't just find out by asking around!"
Surprisingly, this person actually seemed somewhat proud and complacent when faced with a life-or-death threat.
"Oh! Is that so? Then I'll count to three, and this will be your last chance, three!"
With that angry shout, the man's expression clearly changed, but only for a moment.
"two!"
Ye Lei spoke again, while simultaneously increasing the pressure on his hand and gripping the lightsaber tightly.
"one!"
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and only Ye Lei's cold and resolute voice echoed throughout the space.
However, until the very last moment, this person still did not utter a single word of pleading.
Was he truly determined to die rather than submit, or did he simply not believe Ye Lei would actually kill him?
Faced with this situation, Ye Lei made a decision without hesitation, and his lightsaber flashed across the opponent's neck like lightning.
In an instant, warm, scarlet blood gushed out like a spring, splashing onto the ground to form a shocking blood flower. The man immediately collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
