"But there's still no sign of power being restored after so long, don't you find that strange?"
After reviewing all his experiences since entering the oasis, Lu Sheng felt a sense of foreboding.
"We've been making so much noise in the greenhouse, and no one has come over yet..."
A company as large as Oasis Group couldn't possibly be without night shift workers. Their voices weren't quiet; someone couldn't have missed them.
unless……
The owner of Oasis Group tacitly allowed them to stay here all along...
Hearing Lu Sheng and Xu Yi's analysis, a gloomy atmosphere once again descended upon the greenhouse.
"So what do we do now?" Su Zheng hesitated.
Knowing that you're being watched, should you stubbornly continue or make a run for it?
"Now that you're here, even if you want to leave, they might not let you."
Both teams made up their minds and had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue forward.
The dark and cramped corridor winds its way forward, ending at a long staircase.
Bang!
As Lu Sheng and the others descended the stairs, a deafening roar erupted behind them.
A heavy metal door suddenly slammed down, completely blocking their escape route.
"There's no turning back now," Zhang Xiaojuan said with a helpless self-deprecating laugh. "Teacher Xu was right, we really have been targeted..."
"It's not a big problem. We specifically brought a metal-type ability user with us this time, so we should be able to handle it."
As Su Zheng spoke, he gave a wink to the group, and immediately a young girl stepped forward, channeling her supernatural power into the metal door in front of her with all her might.
The girl waved her hand forcefully a few times, sweat beading on her forehead in embarrassment, but the metal door remained unmoved.
"Don't mess up, just give me a straight answer." Ma Dongmei put her arm around the girl's shoulder.
The girl looked ashamed. "No, my powers are completely useless against this thing."
Xu Yi turned around and touched the texture of the metal door, his tone becoming more serious. "This door was custom-made with special laboratory materials and has a special coating. Ordinary metal-based abilities cannot change its shape."
"That's brilliant."
Zhang Xiaojuan held up a flashlight and inspected the door from top to bottom. "Knowing that our Sister Lu has a decoder, this door is not an electronic lock at all; it's the oldest kind of remote-controlled door."
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it and keep going."
Lu Sheng spoke up decisively.
There's no way out, so we can only go down this path to the bitter end.
"Zhang Xin, aren't you supposed to be a local? Do you even know how to get out of here?"
Han Rui suddenly remembered that their newly joined member was an Oasis employee; surely they should know something, right?
The little mouse, who was riding proudly on Zhang Xiaojuan's shoulders, suddenly froze. "I... if I say I don't know, you won't hit me, will you?"
The people present: "..."
“Since I came to Oasis, I’ve spent most of my time writing code in the office and haven’t gone out much… My understanding of this place is probably about the same as yours.”
It hardened; Zhuangzhuang's fist hardened.
This noisy mouse actually dared to deceive everyone!
"Everyone who submits a resume has to brag a little, harmless... I never thought you guys would actually ask..."
Zhang Xin's awkward explanation.
He only promoted himself to get a spot as a accessory, but he didn't expect that Lu Sheng and the others, who had escaped the disaster, would choose to continue to venture deeper into the oasis.
To punish Zhang Xin, Lu Sheng rinsed it with water and threw it into Zhuangzhuang's mouth.
I'm not eating, I'm just playing!
After Zhang Xin fainted for the third time, the two teams finally found the exit at the end of the corridor.
However, when they pushed open the half-closed door, the scene before them made everyone's hearts pound.
The world outside the door turned out to be a dense forest?
However, the forest was filled with a strong smell of decay, mixed with the earthy stench unique to the woods, constantly irritating everyone's sensitive nasal passages.
Both teams had solemn expressions, instinctively gripped their weapons, and slowly stepped across the threshold.
As they went deeper, the stench of rotten fish and shrimp that had lingered in the air for three years became even stronger.
The more they could see, the more wary both teams became of this awful place.
It was clear that someone had been in the woods; broken branches and tangled twigs were scattered everywhere. Dried bloodstains and occasional personal belongings were also scattered about.
"Why is someone missing? Where's that Jin-style girl from earlier?" Han Rui suddenly called out to Ma Dongmei in surprise.
“She said she went to the restroom, why hasn’t she come back yet…” Ma Dongmei’s application revealed a hint of unease.
"Hehe..."
A terrifying scream suddenly came from the darkness.
