Upon seeing the words "rat swarm," Jiang Yao glanced at Shen Zhijie instinctively and wrote on the paper, "[We encountered them, but they're all dead.]"
At this moment, Li Zhengnan noticed that the monster downstairs had slowly left. He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "The last time they appeared here..."
"I conducted an experiment using a mouse that I had prepared in advance and found that they are very sensitive to sound."
"So just now downstairs, I covered your mouth and nose because I was afraid you would make a sound and attract the monster."
Xiao Mu raised an eyebrow at Li Zhengnan and slowly said, "So you didn't go in to take a look?"
Li Zhengnan hid back in the hollow, turned his head to look into Xiao Mu's eyes, and said, "No."
Jiang Yao and the other two returned to the tent and whispered to each other, "I think we should go down and see what's inside the building."
"Why did these initial, semi-complete experimental subjects suddenly appear, and what about that mysterious, short person? Is it a human or some kind of monster?"
Xiao Mu also felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he asked Shen Zhijie to call Li Zhengnan into the tent and told him that the group planned to take advantage of the fact that it was still dark to conduct an inspection inside the building.
Li Zhengnan was also curious about what was inside and why those who went in before never came back. He wondered if he had gone in back then and ended up like the skeletons downstairs.
There might be some secrets inside the building, and with someone accompanying me, I mustered the courage to reply, "I'll join too. Wait for me, I'm going to find a suitable weapon."
Seeing Li Zhengnan leave, Jiang Yao got up, put the ammunition in the corner into her spatial storage, and checked whether her gun was fully loaded.
After getting ready, the group headed downstairs.
Inside a military base.
Jiang Xue overheard someone saying that the military region's registration office was recruiting people to join the AAS district's People's Transfer Assistance Team. Everyone would receive 10 servings each of luncheon meat, noodles, mineral water, and compressed biscuits upon returning.
Thinking of these supplies, she was somewhat tempted and returned to tell her uncle and Jiang Sheng.
When my aunt's husband heard that so many supplies were being given out, he got up without hesitation and went to the military district's registration office to sign up.
Chae Rim was so moved that she shed tears.
When Cai Ya saw that her brother-in-law had signed up, she began to persuade Jiang Sheng to participate as well, since it was just helping people evacuate, and it shouldn't be too hard.
Under Cai Ya's persuasion, Jiang Sheng finally decided to get up and go to the registration desk to sign up.
Sang You carefully put the slightly modified medicine into his pocket and put away his physical examination results.
After returning all the test reagents to their original positions, the machine was turned off, and preparations were made to leave.
During a meeting in a high-level conference room, Mr. Zhao noticed Sang You's name on a list. He frowned and stared intently at the name Sang You, somewhat puzzled.
The follow-up experiments are about to begin, and if Sang You leaves at this time, how can the experiments here proceed?
Besides, the upcoming organ testing and gene therapy comparative experiments are exactly when we need him. If he leaves, who will lead the team for the remaining tasks?
Thinking of this, Old Zhao quickly got up, walked to Liang Wanquan's side, bent down and whispered in his ear, "There is someone on the list who is an important member of the experimental group. I need to go back to him and confirm with him about going to the AAS area."
Upon hearing that it was someone from the experimental group, Liang Wanquan gestured for Old Zhao to hurry back and resolve the issue.
When Old Zhao found Sang You.
Sang You was locking the laboratory door when Old Zhao saw this and quickly called out, "Sang You, wait a moment."
"I have something very important to tell you."
Seeing that it was Old Zhao, Sang You guessed that he must have known about his plans to go to the AAS district.
Old Zhao opened the unlocked door and gestured for Sang You to sit inside and talk.
Seeing that Elder Zhao was about to have a heart-to-heart talk, Sang You smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "Elder Zhao, I know you came to see me this time because of the AAS district, right?"
Just as Old Zhao was about to speak, Sang You raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Actually, it's okay if I don't go on this mission."
"But think about it, if they lose or fail to retrieve the key parts of those data, it will not only seriously affect the progress of our experiments, but also cause us to take many detours."
Sang You said he would go to the AAS area in person, since it would be faster if there were professional staff there.
Old Zhao was somewhat tempted, but then he remembered that Sang You was the genome group leader. If Sang You wasn't home, the next experiment wouldn't be in his area of expertise, which gave him a headache.
After a brief moment of thought, Zhao Lao decided to have Sang You arrange the necessary data and other matters for the experiment now.
He also stated that he would contact higher-ups to arrange for someone to assist Sang You in safely bringing the data back.
Within the ruins of the AAS district.
Jiang Yao took out a high-powered flashlight from her backpack. Seeing that Li Zhengnan didn't have any lighting tools, she took out another one and handed it to him, saying, "This high-powered flashlight of yours has an electric shock function. Be careful when you use it."
Li Zhengnan carefully wiped his hands on his body, took the flashlight Jiang Yao handed him, and nodded his thanks.
Upon entering the building, scraps of paper were scattered everywhere. Jiang Yao picked up a piece from a nearby chair, looked at the blurred numbers on the paper, and felt that it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
But she didn't think much of it and continued on with everyone.
Li Zhengnan found some food in a room, quickly packed it into his backpack, and then went to find everyone to reunite.
Jiang Yao stopped at a mural.
It wasn't because it was valuable, but because the building was so badly damaged, yet the mural remained intact. This reminded her of Xiao Mu's temporary lodging. Could there be a secret room here as well?
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Jiang Yao started searching near the wall.
When Xiao Mu, Shen Zhijie and the others found Jiang Yao, she was groping for a light switch with her hands pressed against the wall.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Shen Zhijie unconsciously curled the corners of his lips and slowly said, "Jiang Yao, you wouldn't be thinking of taking this wall with you, would you?"
"Listen to your brother, don't take it. This painting isn't worth anything."
Jiang Yao looked coldly at Shen Zhijie, as if to say, "If you say another word, I'll shoot you."
Shen Zhijie walked over, both amused and exasperated. "Oh! Just kidding. What are you looking for? Let your brother Shen help you."
Jiang Yao realized that Shen Zhijie was a troublemaker who would cause problems if he wasn't disciplined.
Xiao Mu and Li Zhengnan also came over. Seeing that the surrounding walls were so badly damaged, it was strange that only the murals on the wall were intact.
The group began to study the mural. At that moment, Jiang Yao noticed a raised area on the mural's totem and carefully pressed it down.
Rumble.
The mural slowly opened to the left.
Seeing this, everyone stepped back. Jiang Yao and the others pointed their guns and weapons at the direction of the mural, fearing that some kind of monster might suddenly appear inside.
After the wall was opened, it was pitch black inside. Shen Zhijie asked Jiang Yao to take out glow sticks and throw them in for lighting.
The space behind the wall was probably too large, so the glow sticks thrown in didn't have a very good effect.
