The three of them tiptoed and carefully walked to the end of the corridor. Ye Lei quietly took out a mirror from his personal storage space and then slowly extended it along the corner of the wall.
As expected, at the far right end stood two fully armed soldiers, holding guns, their expressions serious and their eyes fixed on the distance.
What should he do now? Ye Lei pondered to himself, silently putting the mirror away. At such a great distance, rushing there was clearly unrealistic, not to mention firing a gun was out of the question, and even activating his supernatural abilities might not be effective.
It seems that these soldiers chose this location to store their experimental results—Drug X—after careful consideration and thorough preparation.
Since that's the case, we might as well just walk over openly, since they're wearing white coats and pretending to be medical staff collecting garbage.
Thinking of this, Ye Lei pushed the blue trash can, turned around the corner without any attempt to hide his actions, and strode toward the two soldiers, with Tang Xiaoting and Xiuxiu following closely behind.
Upon seeing the three white coats approaching, the two soldiers immediately became extremely alert, with one of them preparing to report and consult with his superiors via walkie-talkie.
None of this escaped Ye Lei's notice. If they reported it to their superiors, they would be completely exposed.
"Hello, thank you for your hard work. I'd like to ask you something, is that alright?"
The people preparing to give their reports let go of the walkie-talkies.
"This is a secret location, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. What do you want to ask?"
"We're here to collect trash. We heard you have trash here, can we come in?"
"Sorry, we haven't received any orders to collect trash. You may have come to the wrong place. Please turn back!"
"Oh, I see. But our boss said it's right here!"
Ye Lei was stalling for time. By this time, he was not far from the soldiers and was absolutely certain that he could activate his superpower.
"Please stop immediately! There is no trash here!"
The soldier's attitude immediately changed, and he even raised his submachine gun.
"Oh, no, no, no, we'll leave right away!"
Just as Ye Lei was about to turn and leave, he unhesitatingly unleashed his superpower—space freeze.
In an instant, the two soldiers seemed to be under a spell, instantly becoming as stiff and motionless as statues.
At that moment, Tu Xingsun leaped up from the ground beside the soldiers like a ghost, bared his fangs, and bit down hard on the neck of one of the soldiers with astonishing speed and strength. Then, the other soldier was not spared either and suffered the same ferocious bite.
As the superpower ended, a chilling scene unfolded: the two soldiers' skin gradually turned deathly pale, their blood vessels became clearly visible, their teeth grew wildly, and their hair fell out one after another.
There is no doubt that they are undergoing a terrible mutation and are about to turn into terrifying zombies.
Ye Lei shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "I only intended to knock them unconscious, but I didn't expect Tu Xingsun to be so cruel and ruthless... Oh well, since things have come to this, I might as well let them be free from all suffering!"
After completing this series of actions, Ye Lei manipulated Tu Xingsun to drag the two soldiers' corpses into the adjacent room. Only then did he notice the three large characters "Storage Room" written above the guard's door.
After the doorway was cleaned up, Ye Lei swung his lightsaber without hesitation, instantly cutting the thick iron chain on the door in two.
The three cautiously stepped into the room, looked around, and were surprised to find several huge freezers inside, with a dilapidated table next to them, but not a single person in sight.
Ye Lei was extremely anxious. He quickly walked to the freezer, pulled open the door, and was shocked by what he saw. The freezer was filled with many drugs that were exactly the same as those used by Cha Zhijun, and each bottle was clearly marked with the word "X3".
With time running out, Ye Lei knew he couldn't waste a single second collecting the medicines one by one. So, he made a decisive move, swung his arm forcefully, and an invisible force suddenly erupted, putting all the freezers into his own space.
However, at that moment, the warning light in the corner, which had been silent, suddenly emitted a piercing "whoosh whoosh whoosh..." alarm, which echoed endlessly in the enclosed underground air-raid shelter. In the blink of an eye, the alarm sounded throughout the entire room, and the flashing red light illuminated the surroundings.
"What on earth happened? Did we accidentally trigger some kind of alarm?"
Ye Lei's heart tightened, and he realized something was wrong. The situation was urgent, and they had to escape immediately!
Just as Ye Lei turned and rushed out of the room, he heard a series of rapid footsteps in the distance. Four fully armed soldiers rushed out from around the corner, their dark gun barrels pointed directly at them.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Ye Lei helplessly raised his hands, inwardly lamenting his misfortune.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
The soldier shouted sternly.
"We're just garbage collectors. We went to the wrong place and accidentally triggered the alarm!"
Ye Lei pointed with his eyes to the trash can next to him, hoping to get away with it.
Where are the guards at the gate?
"I don't know, there was no one there when we arrived."
"impossible!"
After the soldier finished speaking, he quickly picked up his walkie-talkie and anxiously called out, "03, 03, please respond if you hear me, this is 01."
However, unexpectedly, the sound echoed clearly in the room next to them.
"Damn it! How could I forget to put away their walkie-talkies! What should I do now?"
Ye Lei cursed himself inwardly for his carelessness.
In such a confined environment, even the slightest sound would echo. Undoubtedly, the voice from the walkie-talkie had already been heard clearly by the other party.
How did they end up in the next room?
The soldier shouted sternly again.
Ye Lei's eyes widened in astonishment. At that moment, fear and tension surged into his heart like a tide, and he clearly realized that the situation was extremely critical.
Sure enough, the other party seemed to have noticed something was wrong and began to walk towards them step by step. The footsteps grew closer and closer, as if each one was stepping on Ye Lei's heart.
"Maybe...maybe they're just being lazy and sleeping inside?"
Ye Lei still clung to a sliver of hope, trying to defend himself, but he knew very well that he had to take action now.
However, facing four enemies, escaping might not be so easy.
