Ye Hao paced back and forth outside the room, his eyes filled with anxiety. Seeing Ling open the door and come out, he quickly went up to her and said sadly:
"The squad that went out yesterday... was wiped out again."
Total annihilation? How could this be...?
After what happened with Ah Hu, all the squads became extra careful when they went out. Even if something unexpected happened, they wouldn't be left without anyone to report back...
unless……
They encountered an existence that completely overwhelmed them, leaving them utterly powerless to fight back.
If that's the case, it's very likely that they encountered someone sent by the mastermind behind it all.
Zero's premonition was correct; he had long felt that someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Now, they have indeed made their move.
Whatever their motives, as long as he's there, he will absolutely not let them succeed...
Thinking this through, Zero said to Ye Hao:
"The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the light. Now that they have taken the initiative, we can no longer remain passive. By the way, have you offended anyone in the past?"
The other party's arrival was completely unexpected, and Zero would not have been able to understand it if it weren't for some reason.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao was first puzzled, then hesitant, and finally incredulous.
Looking at his constantly changing expression, Ling thought to herself, "There must be a reason."
Ye Hao composed himself, his expression returning to calm, and he spoke:
"I'm not sure if I offended anyone, but I've heard that when scientists were researching a new species, one of them resisted, but eventually died."
Everyone's dead? What's going on...?
Ye Hao continued:
“Long ago, this place was not like it is now, but they were dissatisfied with the status quo. Not only did they hunt animals in large numbers, they also tried to breed new species. During these inhumane studies, one of the scientists couldn’t stand it anymore and released the animals without authorization and destroyed the research reagents.”
Isn't this great? Zero thought.
"His behavior is certainly commendable to us. But those scientists have reached a point of madness. They are obsessed with research, and seeing their hard work destroyed, their boundless anger turned them into violence. They wanted to destroy that scientist!"
At this point, Ye Hao became somewhat excited.
"So they captured the scientist who ruined the research and imprisoned him, using him as a test subject. The endless torture and humiliation made the scientist wish he were dead. He had the idea of taking everyone down with him, and during another experiment, he knocked over a reagent bottle, causing the laboratory to explode. No one survived that explosion."
This is also why he is conflicted; the explosion resulted in no survivors, and now that he thinks about it, it couldn't possibly have been that scientist.
Zero, however, felt a sense of doubt and couldn't help but ask:
"Did you see bodies or something? How can you be sure they all died in the explosion?"
Ye Hao shook his head and said:
"No. The explosion in the lab was massive, and with all sorts of chemicals present, the people who rushed to help put out the fire said there was nothing inside, not even a body. So everyone guessed that the presence of chemicals caused the flames to reach a temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius, turning the human body directly to ashes."
After hearing Ye Hao's words, Zero also became puzzled.
According to him, it is indeed impossible for anyone to have survived.
But if it's impossible for anyone to have survived, then why is this happening now? Or is there some hidden story behind that explosion, and there are still survivors?
Moreover, Zero had previously heard that the appearance of the multi-legged lizard occurred during a scientific experiment a hundred years ago, meaning that the laboratory explosion also took place around a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, if anyone was still alive then, they would be in their coffins by now.
Does this mean that someone in this era has already discovered a way to achieve immortality?
The fog seems to be getting thicker.
