This shabby laboratory was very dim, resulting in low visibility. Tang Tang could only vaguely see the partial outlines of objects around him. If he went a little further away, he could not see anything.
It can even be said that if she had not keenly heard the other two breathing sounds, she probably would not have known that there was someone opposite her.
But now this person came in from outside the laboratory.
At the moment when this hoarse and unpleasant male voice came out, Tang Tang felt an extremely dazzling light coming from her right. It was because the door of the laboratory on the right was opened from the outside. Moreover, this bright light suddenly appeared in the dim environment, which would be quite unbearable for people's eyes, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
But she couldn't take her eyes away.
At this moment, Tang Tang's mind told her very clearly that this was probably her only chance to see everything around her clearly with the help of light. If she missed this opportunity, there might not be a next time.
At that moment, Tang Tang didn't care how much his eyes stung, and even couldn't control the tears that overflowed, but Tang Tang still opened his eyes wide, relying on this momentary light source to quickly identify everything around him.
This should be a laboratory built into the mountain.
Although the facilities inside are old, they are basically complete. In addition to the main door on this side, there is also a sealed back door at the back of the laboratory, which is locked with a thick rusty link. It seems that it has been locked a long time ago.
In addition, Tang Tang also clearly saw the instrument that restrained her body, which was on a platform not far away.
Although the mechanism was out of her reach, she had a long, hammer-like repair tool at her hand. As long as she took the repair tool, she would have the opportunity to press the mechanism of the instrument.
Tang Tang's mind was working at an extremely fast speed, but at this time, Tang Tang did not dare to look towards the small platform any longer, for fear that he would be discovered if he looked any longer.
Moreover, at this moment, there is no time for Tang Tang to divert his attention.
The next moment, a man walked in from outside. He should be a slightly older man, and he was lame.
From the few steps he took from outside, it was obvious that he was not walking steadily, and it was even a little difficult.
But he did not use a cane to walk, nor did he have anyone accompany him. Instead, he came in alone, with his hands behind his back, and walked in little by little.
Only after walking through the laboratory door and entering did the laboratory door close again, and the surroundings suddenly returned to the previous dim environment.
But Tang Tang still couldn't see the other person's face. It was not because Tang Tang didn't pay attention or didn't look carefully. In fact, the first direction Tang Tang looked was the other person's face. He wanted to know who planned and calculated all this.
But after looking up, Tang Tang discovered that the other party came in wearing a clown-like "crying face mask", which covered his face, so even if Tang Tang wanted to see, he couldn't.
After this man walked in, Lieutenant General Lin Shoucheng opposite him spoke with great excitement. Even though he tried his best to suppress his anger, the moment he opened his mouth, Lin Shoucheng couldn't help but yelled out of control.
"Who are you? Where did you take my daughter Lin Ke? Also, leave the little girl over there alone. If you have anything to say, just come to us. How can you mess with a little civilian... Wait, no, that 'crying mask' on your face, I think I've seen it somewhere..."
"It's you! It's actually you! I remember now!! Before that crashed starship set sail, I saw a 'crying face mask' almost identical to yours in the crowd! It was you who did it, right?! The starship crash wasn't an accident, it was you who did it, right? Who are you? Were you one of the subordinates of Marshal Jiang who was ousted back then?!"
"Don't call that man the Marshal! He's just a demon! I feel sick to my stomach just having anything to do with him!!"
After mentioning the word "Marshal Chiang" who had stepped down in the past, the masked man suddenly became emotional, and his originally hoarse and unpleasant voice became even more unpleasant, as if something was screaming in fear and anger. It was so harsh that Tang Tang wanted to cover her ears. She had a feeling that this man was a lunatic.
It turned out that he was really a madman. Just after a round of angry screams, the man seemed to remember something and suddenly burst into laughter again.
But within two seconds, the laughter stopped abruptly, and he suddenly spoke in a very calm tone:
"However, I was indeed that man's dog back then. The starship crash certainly wasn't an accident, but it wasn't me who caused the explosion; someone else did. My mission, blending in with the crowd, was simply to clean up the mess and ensure that you, Lieutenant General Lin, wouldn't make it back alive. Sadly, I never expected that you, Lieutenant General Lin, wouldn't even be on that starship. Even more tragically, your partner, your son, and your daughter all perished."
Lieutenant General Lin Shoucheng's wife, son, and daughter all perished in a man-made spacecraft accident? This was indeed the same information Tang Tang had heard from Huo Yan before. Now it seemed that Lin Ke was very likely another daughter who was lucky enough not to board the spacecraft.
Tang Tang was just thinking about this, but the next moment, she had no time to think about it.
The next moment, Tang Tang heard Lieutenant General Lin Shoucheng on the opposite side, who seemed to be really irritated by the masked man and was cursing uncontrollably in anger.
On the contrary, Major Tang Cheng next to him was relatively calm. Although he was also very angry, his reason did not get out of control. Instead, he kept persuading Lin Shoucheng to calm down as soon as possible.
He has been affected by the 'pheromone induction drug'. People who have been injected with the inducer will become quite abnormal in their emotions and may even lose control easily.
But at this time, as long as they can control it, the efficacy of the induction drug can be controlled. If not, the body will be affected by the induction factor and will collapse out of control.
Just like many cases of loss of control in the past, once the loss of control exceeds a certain critical point, it will easily lead to sudden death. Lin Shoucheng should not be fooled by the other party and should calm down quickly, otherwise the other party will succeed.
Perhaps Tang Cheng's last words worked. Not long after, General Lin, who was extremely angry, finally calmed down a little. He stopped cursing and continued to breathe heavily, as if trying to adjust his breathing rhythm and suppress his extremely fluctuating emotions.
But this won't work. If so, they will be too passive. If only her hands and feet could move automatically, maybe she could have a chance.
Moreover, Tang Tang didn't think that this masked man came in just to chat, he must have some other actions.
As he said this, Tang Tang turned his gaze to the platform beside him again, and tried to move his right hand gently to see if he could grab the maintenance tool and press the button on the mechanism opposite.
But this step was much more difficult than Tang Tang had imagined. Just after she finally grabbed the strip-shaped maintenance tool with her right hand, she found that it was out of reach. It was only three centimeters away from the mechanism switch. At that moment, Tang Tang couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
Because she finally knew why this masked man appeared here.
The next moment, Tang Tang heard the masked man smiling strangely and speaking to Lin Shoucheng:
"Don't be affected by the inducer, are you? Don't worry, I'll save you from this difficult choice. My dear Lieutenant General Lin, as the investigator who investigated the 'Pheromone Inducer Incident', you must know what 'Pheromone Inducer No. 1' is, right?"
"That's right. The drug used to cause the inducer accident was 'Inducer No. 1'. But what you may not know is that 'Inducer No. 1' is not the original inducer. It is the product of the original inducer injected into the human body, extracted again, and then adjusted..."
"This is the true first-generation potion, which we call 'Inducer No. 0'. I heard that General Lin Zhong said you are an SS-level Alpha, right? Although your pheromone levels have dropped a bit recently, your strength is at the bottom of the SS level, but this is enough. I really want to know what will happen if this 'Inducer No. 0' is injected into your body? Will you become a strong person, or will you become a 'monster'..."
After hearing this, Tang Tang couldn't understand what was going on. This masked man appeared here because he wanted to use Lieutenant General Lin Shoucheng as an experiment. He wanted to destroy Lieutenant General Lin!
Although Tang Tang was not quite sure how horrible the situation caused by 'Pheromone Inducer No. 0' would be, he had seen a scene like this where the inducer got out of control once before.
That time, Luo Qingmei was injected with an inducer, and it was a diluted inducer, so it was not a serious problem. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But even this alone was enough to leave a lasting impression on Tang Tang. Just imagining it was terrifying, not to mention that what the other party was using to destroy Lieutenant General Lin was the first generation, most terrifying pheromone inducer!
But she couldn't do anything now. If only the mechanism that imprisoned her could be opened so that she could move her hands and feet freely.
In this way, she might be able to take the opportunity to knock that 'Inducer No. 0' away and break it!
Just as Tang Tang was thinking this, something small started moving around her neck, as if it could sense what she was thinking. It slid along her right hand and slid towards the small platform on her right.
This is... 'Circle'!
It turns out that the "circle" is still there, it has not been found and thrown away!
She thought that the little snake "Quanquan" had been taken away by them, because the laptop and other miscellaneous things on her body were gone. It was obvious that she had been searched before being locked up.
Moreover, from the time Tang Tang woke up until now, "Quanquan" seemed to be non-existent and did not move at all. Tang Tang thought that "Quanquan" was no longer by her side.
Of course, there is also the reason that "Quanquan" is too young, a young snake, and can basically not help much.
Until the "circle" moved and seemed to sense what Tang Tang was thinking, crawling towards the mechanism switch, Tang Tang's spirit was revived.
Sure enough, the next moment, "Quanquan" nimbly climbed up Tang Tang's right hand to the platform over there, and quickly pressed its small snake body onto the mechanism button.
And this time, Tang Tang was lucky.
Because this mechanism is silent, it will not make any special noise to alarm the masked man opposite.
The next second, Tang Tang quickly felt the handcuffs that bound his limbs loosen, and his body was free again.
But at this time, Tang Tang had no time to think about anything. Just as she was about to quietly get out of bed, attack the masked man, press the restraining mechanism, and rescue Major Tang and Lin Shoucheng, Tang Tang looked up and saw such a thrilling scene.
At this moment, the masked man was holding a syringe and walking towards General Lin. Needless to say, the syringe was probably the "Inducer No. 0".
At the critical moment, Tang Tang had no time to think. He rushed forward and hit the other person's hand holding the syringe.
Suddenly, the syringe slipped out of the masked man's hand, fell to the ground and rolled to the side, but the force of Tang Tang's impact was still too small. She only knocked the syringe away, but failed to knock the masked man away.
So, in the next moment, the masked man reacted, shouted angrily, reached out and grabbed Tang Tang's wrist, and quickly controlled Tang Tang.
And because of this, Tang Tang obviously irritated the masked man, so much so that the angry masked man picked up the syringe that had fallen to the ground and wanted to inject the 'Inducer No. 0' that was originally injected into General Lin into Tang Tang.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Tang shouted "Circle".
The next moment, the masked man heard a hissing sound, and something pounced towards him and bit his arm directly. However, the pain from the snake bite was too slight to stop the masked man from injecting the inducer, and half of the 'Inducer No. 0' was injected into his body.
But in the next moment, the situation was reversed.
The next moment, the mechanism that had originally imprisoned Tang Cheng and Lin Shoucheng was released by someone at some unknown time.
The two men reacted very quickly. The moment they felt their bodies were free, they rushed forward to subdue the masked man and knocked him unconscious.
When they were sure that the masked man had completely fainted, Tang Cheng and Lin Shoucheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked what happened to Tang Tang.
"I'm fine, shall we go now? The inducer doesn't seem to have much effect on me. I have other companions who have been brought here, and I'm worried something might have happened to them. Let's go find them!"
Seeing this, Tang Cheng and Lin Shoucheng nodded and said nothing more.
Because they couldn't smell the pheromone, they thought Tang Tang was a Beta. If a Beta is injected with a pheromone inducer, there is indeed no effect. At most, it will feel uncomfortable for a while, which shouldn't be a big problem.
In fact, Tang Tang’s current condition is not very good. Maybe it’s because half a tube of pheromone inducer was injected at once, but Tang Tang felt a dull pain in the arm muscles where he was pierced, and his head was a little dizzy.
But Tang Tang felt that this was not a big problem. The original owner had conducted similar inducer experiments before to activate Omega pheromones. The reaction at that time was similar to the current one. It would be fine after a while. There shouldn't be any big problem. The most important thing now is to leave here. It is more important to save Zhang Shang and the others first.
Besides, even if she said there was a problem and it wouldn't work, wouldn't there be a solution? It would only slow down the rescue process and distract those two people. It would be better to rescue the others first, and then she would check after they were out.
Therefore, Tang Tang subconsciously endured the discomfort in his body and spoke like this.
Of course, Tang Cheng and Lin Shoucheng reacted quickly. Although they were very angry now, the most urgent task was to save people, so requesting support was a priority.
At that moment, Lin Shoucheng walked towards the laboratory door, and Tang Cheng quickly took off the mask on the masked man's face.
Suddenly, with the light coming in from the open door of the laboratory in front, the face of the masked man appeared in the eyes of Tang Tang and Tang Cheng, which made them both startled and felt that the face looked extremely scary.
Even when Lin Shoucheng turned back, he couldn't help but frown when he saw such a face that didn't seem to be in line with his age. At the same time, he felt that the face in front of him seemed vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything. He could only ask Tang Cheng to detain the man first, and then notify others to come and arrest him after they were safe.
Now, saving lives is more important to them.
After saying that, Lin Shoucheng ran ahead and asked Tang Cheng and Tang Tang to follow him out.
After all, he is the oldest here, with the highest level, strength and experience, so naturally he will lead the charge.
However, as he was running, Lin Shoucheng seemed to have thought of something. Without turning back, he lowered his voice and asked:
"You're Mr. Tang, right? The one who just helped us unlock the trap was your battle pet, right? If I'm not mistaken, that's a white-scaled rattlesnake, right? Although it's just a cub, the purple markings on its back are clearly visible in the dim light. As far as I know, only the relatively rare white-scaled rattlesnake can have such conspicuous purple markings on its back."
"It's actually a white-scaled rattlesnake?! I thought it was just a clever snake-like pet..."
Hearing what Lin Shoucheng said, Tang Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After all, he knew how rare the "White-Scaled Rattlesnake" was. If they were not fleeing madly, Tang Cheng would have probably shouted "Fuck" repeatedly, instead of trying desperately to lower his voice like he was doing now.
Tang Tang also answered quickly, and responded with a "hmm". After that, he said what he had been interrupted and had not had the chance to say before.
Tang Tang just said:
"Yes, it's a baby white-scaled rattlesnake. It became my battle pet by chance... Let's not talk about that for now, Major Tang and Lieutenant General Lin. I have something very important to tell you now. It's about 'Lin Ke'... Lin Ke is not a good person. She betrayed you. You were captured and brought here because Lin Ke cooperated with their actions!"
After these words were spoken, Tang Cheng and Lin Shoucheng reacted strongly.
Although Lin Shoucheng had been running in the front without stopping or turning back to look at Tang Tang, he said with great certainty and confidence:
"Impossible, Tang Xiaoyou, I don't know where you heard these rumors, but Lin is my daughter, and I know what kind of character she has. So, there's no way she would betray me, let alone have any contact with this organization. You must have misunderstood something..."
Lin Shoucheng was quite calm when he said this, but the younger Tang Cheng was not so calm and denied it repeatedly:
"No, Sister Lin Ke wouldn't do such a thing. Tang Xiaoyou, you must be mistaken..."
Moreover, while saying this, Tang Cheng subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of Tang Tang.
Because Tang Tang was about half a body length behind Tang Cheng, when Tang Cheng said "impossible" and turned around to look, he saw Tang Tang's face right in front of him.
The moment he saw Tang Tang's face clearly, Tang Cheng was stunned. His face was full of disbelief. He stopped walking and just stared at Tang Tang's face, uttering a few syllables in a trance:
"Sister...sister?"
Sister? What sister? Was she hallucinating? Why did Tang Cheng seem to be calling her "sister" after seeing her face?
There's no way. In fact, it's no wonder that Tang Cheng only saw what Tang Tang's face looked like now.
After all, the environment in the abandoned laboratory was too dim, and one could only vaguely see the outlines of nearby objects. Everything else was unclear even if one wanted to take a closer look.
Even after they escaped, their attention was focused on the masked man and how to rescue other people, and they didn't pay much attention to Tang Tang's face.
In addition, Tang Tang was the last one in the group as they were on the road, so the other two didn't pay much attention to him.
Until now, when Tang Tang mentioned the question "Lin Ke is not a good person", Tang Cheng, who was a little excited, subconsciously turned his head to look. It was only at this time that he saw what kind of face Tang Tang looked like.
This is a face that looks very similar to Tang Yan'er when she was young, and also a face that looks very similar to Tang Cheng's deceased sister.
It was because of Tang Cheng's sudden shout that Lin Shoucheng, who was running in front, subconsciously stopped and turned around, wanting to ask the two people behind him to be quieter and not be so loud.
But the moment he turned his head, the expression on Lin Shoucheng's face seemed to instantly copy the expression on Tang Cheng's face. He widened his eyes and looked at Tang Tang's face, stunned on the spot!
