Chapter 24: Take the Stone
After dark, Yin Shan and the other person quietly went out. When they got downstairs, Yin Shan learned his lesson and took out the assault boat from the corridor and carried it out. The two of them drove to Wang Lu's company.
On the way, Wang Lu told Yin Shan, "We have a lot of research equipment and materials. If you have enough space, it would be best to take them all. They will be valuable research materials in the future. If this apocalypse really does destroy everything, it's better to save some!"
Yin Shan nodded and said, "Okay, but since you're researching chemical weapons, the research materials may have already been taken away. The authorities had some warnings about this natural disaster, so there's a good chance there's nothing left from the research institute. We've collected everything we can. Also, you shouldn't just be an assistant, right?"
Wang Lu smiled and said, "Indeed, our psychology expert is so serious that nothing can be hidden from her eyes. When she's not serious, she's just joking and optimistic. She's not as meticulous as you. I'm responsible for researching biological viruses. I don't know where my research is shipped to or who uses it. On several occasions, biological viruses have appeared in other countries, and the symptoms are similar to my research results. I suspect that the Star-Spangled Empire or the Eagle Country is behind us. I'm going with you this time because I want to use your space to bring back everything I can and hand it over to the country when the opportunity arises. The end of the world is coming, and the research we Chinese have done should help the Chinese protect themselves."
Yin Shan continued, "If the apocalypse hadn't happened, would you have kept it a secret for the rest of your life? What would you do if this research institute was exposed one day?"
Wang Lu said, "I don't know. Later, when I realized the company's strong background, I tried many ways and finally convinced them that my memory was damaged and unsuitable for research work. So they transferred me to sales and refused to let me leave. Even if I missed many large orders for authenticity, they still wouldn't let me leave. But because I have complex social connections, it's difficult to get rid of them directly, so this is why I've survived until now. I think I'm still alive because they noticed my uncle's New Dragon Gang background and knew that I was close to you. If I disappeared, you would use all your strength to find me, which would be detrimental to their hiding their research."
Yin Shan nodded and asked, "Does anyone in your group study biological evolution?" Wang Lu thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know. Each group is one-way, and we don't interact with other researchers."
Wang Lu said, "It would be best to find the information of all researchers, disclose it to the authorities, and let them handle it. I can't guarantee that everyone will be like me. If some people are truly lackeys of other countries, they will still be eliminated after the authorities investigate."
Yin Shan expressed his understanding and said, "When we get back, have my dad contact the New Dragon Gang and do some secret investigations. It's impossible for this company not to have official connections. It's even possible that someone in the officialdom is their backer."
During the conversation, the two arrived at Wang Lu's company. Yin Shan took out a gun and gave Wang Lu a dagger. The two put on gas masks and night vision goggles and walked up carefully.
Yin Shan stored all available supplies, including water, unmolded food, and a folding bed, into his space. He explored and collected each layer, and soon arrived at the CEO's office. He spotted two multicolored stones in the cabinet behind the office chair and stuffed them into his bag, planning to return home and put them back into his space. The rest, aside from a few ornaments and a large safe, consisted of a few miscellaneous contracts and some books. With a wave of his hand, he took them all away!
Yin Shan said, "My space can only absorb ownerless stones for upgrading. If your boss dies and I throw stones in, I won't be able to absorb anything for upgrading. Put them in your bag first and we'll deal with them when we get home!"
Wang Lu nodded and led Yin Shan towards the laboratory.
When the two arrived at the laboratory, they found a lot of papers scattered on the ground and many equipment missing. It seemed that they had been evacuated in a hurry.
Yin Shan frowned and said, "It seems that all the useful things have been taken away, and the remaining ones must be useless."
Wang Lu said, "No, the boss was away a month before the apocalypse. The innermost laboratory can only be opened when the boss is there, so the things in there may still be there. But be careful, there may be researchers in there."
Yin Shan nodded and said, "Let's put these things away. I see a lot of researchers' names on them. Any clues are better than nothing!"
Wang Lu nodded and watched Yin Shan put all the materials into the space, took away the equipment that he had not taken away, and then walked towards the innermost laboratory.
As they walked, Yin Shan pulled Wang Lu over and they lay down behind a shelf. Yin Shan asked quietly, "There's electricity. Is there anyone in here?"
Wang Lu frowned and said, "The electricity here is independent and has never been cut off. It's possible that there are people here, or it's possible that there aren't. But even if there are, there's not much food here, only some water. After so many days, it's very likely that they have fainted from hunger or starved to death."
Yin Shan handed Wang Lu a gun and said, "You stay here and I'll break down the door. If anyone rushes out and I miss them, you shoot them, no matter who they are."
Wang Lu was holding a gun for the first time, and asked tremblingly, "What if I hit you? I don't know how to use a gun. I'll put some thumbtacks there, and then I'll run out and step on them. If my feet get hurt, I won't be able to run anymore. Do you have a stun gun? I can just shock you and that'll be it."
Yin Shan nodded, took two electric batons and gave them to Wang Lu. He also found thick-soled shoes for her to wear and told her, "Be careful. If you can't do it, just hide!"
Yin Shan slowly crawled toward the gate, scattering thumbtacks as he went, then peered inside. Seeing no one inside, he pulled out his space-made dagger and slashed it directly at the steel plate beneath the gate. The first swipe set off the alarm. Yin Shan looked up for a moment, still no sign of anyone. He gestured to Wang Lu to be careful, and continued at the same spot he had slashed.
After ten minutes, they finally cut open enough space for Yin Shan to crawl in and out. Yin Shan took a breath and thought to himself, what kind of board is this? If the dagger given by the space was not sharp enough and would not bend, I would never be able to get into this door today.
Entering the laboratory, Yin Shan felt suffocated and realized that forcing the door open would trigger the alarm mechanism, which would directly drain all the oxygen. Yin Shan quickly took out an oxygen bottle to breathe oxygen himself and threw one to Wang Lu. Then Yin Shan quickly put all the items into the space and searched carefully. He found no other secret rooms, so he retreated from his previous position.
Yin Shan put the thumbtack back into the space, found Wang Lu, and discovered that she was not using the oxygen cylinder. Knowing that the air outside had not been sucked away, the two quickly left the company.
On the way, Yin Shan said, "There was no one inside, and there were no other secret rooms, but there was no air. Later, air came in from the small hole outside, and I felt a little better. If there was no space, I would probably have died as soon as I entered! I was careless!"
Wang Lu frowned and said, "There is this kind of protection. It seems to be very important research. I'm sorry Shanshan, I didn't know it was like this inside."
Yin Shan waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm still alive. If you don't have the time to feel sorry for me, why don't you give me a good health check tonight?"
Wang Lu winked and gave Yin Shan a wink: "Boss, what color do you want for health supplements?"
Yin Shan twitched his lips and said, "Your eyeballs are about to burst into my face. Hurry up and put them away. Don't glare at me. I can't stand your look!"
