Based on the information revealed by Roland after his body was controlled, Lu Sheng and her team wandered around the maze-like building several times before finally finding the way to the laboratory.
Finally, a wide and straight passageway appeared before everyone.
The futuristic mirrored metal ceiling, along with the walls and floor made of novel materials never seen before the apocalypse, all exude a futuristic feel.
The group walked slowly through the smooth, straight passage, each step conveying the awe-inspiring power of the high-tech materials. This place felt like a completely different timeline from the wasteland outside, the stark contrast creating a sense of disorientation that left them feeling disoriented.
Without Xiao Ning's magnetic field shielding, Lu Sheng and his group's every move would inevitably be exposed to the chemical plant's surveillance cameras.
Lu Sheng and her group walked along the corridor for several dozen meters before finally stopping in front of a bulletproof, reflective glass door.
"I'll try. I've never been here before." Tong Ziqi swallowed nervously and put her face close to the iris unlocking device on the door.
"Beep, match failed." The mechanical electronic voice sounded.
The moment the words fell, Lu Sheng's expression hardened, and he grabbed Tong Ziqi's shoulder and pulled her back.
At the same time, a blinding infrared beam shot out from the iris scanning device.
Sizzle.
The infrared rays emitted a crackling sound as they hit the wall, and the radiation lasted for a full ten seconds before extinguishing.
Zhang Xiaojuan tentatively tossed a small clay figure over to check, then, still shaken, joined Lu Sheng and the others. "Holy crap, the wall is all scorched. If that had gotten directly into your eyes, your brains would be cooked."
"Thank you...you saved me again." Tong Ziqi's face was pale.
She was completely unprepared; if Lu Sheng hadn't acted quickly, she would be dead by now.
They had only known each other for less than two days, and Lu Sheng had already saved her twice. She had no idea how to repay this kindness.
"No need for thanks, just work hard for me," said the cold-blooded boss, Lu Sheng.
Tong Ziqi has a good personality and is efficient; she's a rare and high-quality helper.
Go back to work!
Lu Sheng gestured to the remaining people to avoid the electronic lock, then took out a decoder and scanned the door.
With a crisp beep, the door opened.
A lush and beautiful landscape suddenly appeared before everyone.
Behind the gate was a meticulously manicured botanical garden, with a crystal-clear stream flowing gently behind the woods.
Several experimental tables were neatly arranged in the middle of the woods, and a dozen researchers wearing antibacterial suits were busy operating the experimental equipment.
Sun Tiantian sniffed in surprise, "The water sources outside have all dried up, so how come there's still a botanical garden and a stream here? And the fragrance of osmanthus flowers."
Three years into the apocalypse, almost all the plants and animals outside have mutated; the word "normal" is now the most precious word in the world. Yet, inside the chemical plant, there exists a secluded paradise completely unaffected by the mutation?
"It smells like osmanthus and herbal essences." Xu Yi raised his head slightly and gestured with his eyes.
The crowd followed his gaze upwards, carefully examining the surroundings for a while before finally noticing an advanced projector hanging overhead.
"These trees and streams... are they all holographic projections?" Xiao Yu exclaimed in shock.
Holographic projection technology was already highly advanced before the apocalypse, capable of realistically simulating various real-world scenes. But the technology here is clearly a step further, not only featuring image projection but also accompanied by specialized ambient sounds and fragrances.
If one doesn't deliberately look for it, the beautiful environment of this idyllic paradise can almost fool everyone!
"Xiaoyu?"
Finally, someone discovered Lu Sheng and his group of intruders.
A young man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven noticed Lu Sheng and the others, and jogged over to greet Xiao Yu excitedly.
Xiao Yu stared at the newcomer for a good ten seconds. "Brother Cai?"
"Yes! It's me! Long time no see! What are you doing here?!" The young man laughed heartily and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder warmly.
"Brother Cai...aren't you hospitalized at Ditan Hospital?" Xiao Yu's expression flashed with surprise as she looked at the man suspiciously.
The young man raised an eyebrow with a smug look on his face. "I'm cured a long time ago. Now I have a great appetite and I'm in excellent health."
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, Sun Tiantian lowered her voice and whispered in Lu Sheng's ear, "Cai Zun was a doctoral student in the medical department of our school before, and he was on the same basketball team as Xiao Yu. He was said to be a genius, but unfortunately he was hospitalized at Ditan Hospital for observation due to a serious heart condition."
Lu Sheng stared at the dish for a couple of seconds.
His complexion was rosy and radiant, and his voice was strong and clear; he showed no signs of needing to rest in bed. As a medical doctor from Peking University, he was capable of receiving the most advanced treatment in the country, but it was clear that they were at a loss and forced him to be hospitalized for observation.
But now, this person, if not physically strong and healthy, is at least in a normal state.
Could post-apocalyptic evolution alleviate the symptoms of critically ill patients?
Other people in the lab also noticed Lu Sheng and the others, but almost everyone immediately turned back to their work, and no one paid much attention to them.
"Brother Cai, is your heart condition completely cured?"
Finally, Xiao Yu couldn't contain her curiosity and asked the question.
Cai Zun paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and began to unbutton his white coat. "Alright, now you might not be my match in a game."
"It's a pity we don't have enough people right now, otherwise I would definitely give you a good beating."
His movement caused everyone present to hold their breath.
Beneath Cai Zun's white coat, a beating metallic heart was hanging on his chest!
