In addition, every table and chair in this room is a high-end European-style custom-made piece, which looks much more impressive than the previous dean's room.
For a moment, Yan Qing couldn't tell who the dean was and who the assistant was. Whose assistant was more imposing than the dean? This Assistant Zhu had completely changed her perception.
She quietly searched through the room as usual, but strangely, she couldn't find Assistant Zhu's work ID. Presumably, he should have carried it with him at all times.
However, she did find a black protective suit and anklets in Assistant Zhu's room, neatly arranged, which seemed to belong to Assistant Zhu.
This was a bit strange. If she remembered correctly, those people in black protective suits and ankle chains should have been the staff being punished.
Yan Qing didn't find anything else of value, and she didn't dare to stay there any longer, so she quietly left.
Just as she stepped out the door, she seemed to hear some kind of noise. Could Assistant Zhu be inside the room?
No, she needs to find a place to hide first!
Yan Qing started running back as fast as she could, all the way back to the small hole she had come in through. Just as she was about to reach in, she suddenly realized that the small hole in the wall was gone?
Something's not right. She clearly remembered that this was the exact spot. But how come everything's suddenly gone?
The commotion behind her grew louder and louder; Yan Qing could already hear the sound of high heels scraping the ground.
No, she has to find a way to get out of here quickly, or she'll be caught!
Yan Qing started running quickly in another direction, but unfortunately, the other side was a dead end, with nothing but a single black elevator.
There was a card reader next to the elevator door. Yan Qing decisively took out Dean Xu's copied card and swiped it directly.
The elevator doors opened the next moment. Yan Qing didn't even have time to turn around, grabbed Xiao Tao, and rushed inside without saying a word.
The elevator doors closed automatically and began to move slowly.
After narrowly escaping death, Yan Qing finally caught her breath. She noticed that the black elevator seemed to be going downwards.
What?! Going down?! Could this underground laboratory have more than one floor?
While she was still in a daze, the elevator doors opened again. Yan Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out.
This time, however, what came into her view was a highly modernized large laboratory.
Yan Qing never expected that the legendary underground laboratory was actually a large-scale laboratory with very high technological content.
The equipment inside looked not only high-end but also very new, a stark contrast to the old style of the superstructure.
Facing her from the laboratory was a transparent glass door with a similar card reader. Yan Qing tried swiping her dean's ID card, and sure enough, the glass door opened.
Upon entering the laboratory, the first thing she saw was rows and rows of densely packed test tubes, each containing a metal wire resembling an electrical wire, from which a faint, shimmering light flickered.
Yan Qing was astonished by the sheer number of test tubes; she couldn't possibly count them all. Looking around, it was an overwhelming expanse of test tubes of all colors—there must have been tens of thousands.
Above these test tubes, countless metal guide wires converge to form a huge metal sphere that shimmers with seven colors of light, hanging straight in mid-air.
Because there were so many test tubes here, Yan Qing couldn't see any other devices behind her. But after looking around, she realized that Dean Xu himself didn't seem to be here.
The vast space currently houses only her.
Yan Qing became much bolder, and she began to actively explore the end of the test tube. After all, she had heard with her own ears that Assistant Zhu and Mu Yang had mentioned that this experiment required the lives of many adventurers.
But so far, she hadn't seen a single person. Besides the overwhelming array of test tubes and those strange metal guide wires, the entire laboratory seemed to be empty.
Continuing to walk inside, she finally saw the end of the test tubes. Yan Qing clicked her tongue, roughly estimating that there were probably tens of thousands of test tubes here.
And in the last few rows of test tubes, she discovered something different for the first time. At the same time, she also saw the shadow of an adventurer for the first time.
The test tubes here looked distinctly different from the intact ones; the liquids inside were all transparent. Furthermore, each test tube had a metal guide wire attached, but the other end of the wire was connected to a living person on the bed.
On the bed closest to her lay a strange young man. The man was in a state of semi-death; apart from a faint breath, he didn't look like a living person at all.
On his right hand was a thick needle with a device resembling an IV drip attached to it. However, this "IV drip" wasn't for injections, but for drawing blood.
The IV drip was connected to a device similar to ECMO, which drew all the blood from the person's body. Then the blood slowly flowed in another direction, where there was a device she was familiar with—a metal guide wire.
The metal guide wire functions similarly to extracting certain substances from human blood. It shimmers with different colors.
Yan Qing observed several people and found that their metal wires were basically all five colors: red, yellow, blue, green, and cyan. However, the brightness and shade of the colors varied from person to person.
It seems that the purpose of this entire complex set of equipment in the laboratory is simply to extract certain substances from human blood.
Yan Qing became extremely curious about the metal guide wire. She looked up at the direction where the densely packed metal guide wires converged, where there was also a huge metal sphere with five-colored light constantly flowing on it, which looked extremely beautiful.
At the end of the metal sphere, she finally saw the magical device clearly for the first time. It turned out this wasn't the end; a long white pipe extended from the end of the metal sphere, its material unknown.
The pipes continued to extend to a certain place behind, and Yan Qing followed them all the way, only to find that she had arrived at a place that resembled a space capsule.
It was a small room, only about one meter square, with all four walls made of an unknown white material. It was completely sealed off and looked quite ordinary.
The only unusual thing was the white pipe that extended into the space capsule, which Yan Qing couldn't see from her angle.
There was a verification device at the entrance of the space capsule, which surprisingly used the oldest type of combination lock, somewhat similar to the Luban lock. A notice was posted on the wall next to it:
Please note that you only have one chance!
