Song Zhao also realized that with his mouth covered, Experimenter Number One couldn't speak.
"I'll let go of your mouth, don't shout, you know the consequences. Nod if you agree."
"Mmm," Experimenter Number One nodded hurriedly.
After Song Zhao released his grip, Experimenter Number One instinctively wanted to call for help, but seeing Song Zhao's threatening gaze and the dagger pressed against his neck, he swallowed back the scream that was already on the tip of his tongue.
"Brother, brother, swords have no eyes! Make sure you're holding onto what you're carrying."
"Or you can take it back, and I promise I won't cause any trouble."
"Experimenter Number One," he said, his voice trembling.
"Stop talking nonsense, how do I open the door?"
Following the lab technician's directions, Gu Yanzhi found an extremely inconspicuous spot on the ground. Stepping on it, a password input system appeared on the wall, just like the door.
After entering the password, it was still facial recognition. Song Zhao crouched down behind Experimenter No. 1 and successfully passed the facial recognition. A handle appeared on the door. Before touching the door handle, Gu Yanzhi noticed that there seemed to be a fingerprint recognition device on the door.
He quickly put his hand down and used Experimenter Number One's hand to open the door.
When Experimenter Number One realized that his little scheme had been exposed, he dejectedly and obediently cooperated.
Before pushing the door open, Gu Yanzhi found a rope in his spatial storage and tied up Experimenter Number One, also stuffing a piece of clothing haphazardly into his mouth.
"It really is you guys. Where are the others?"
The door was opened, and the rest of Squad 532 were waiting at the entrance.
They had already explored the space; it was empty, and it appeared to be a lounge and storage room for people.
So we can talk more freely now.
Instead of rushing to find Gu Yanlin and the other two, the group dragged Experimenter Number One back to the room they had first entered.
Tell me about the situation here.
Upon entering, Lin Cheng and one other person stood guard at the entrance, keeping an eye on any movement.
Song Zhao removed the clothes stuffed in Experimenter Number One's mouth, ignoring the experimenter's terrified expression, and asked expressionlessly.
They learned from the first lab technician that the lab was indeed what they thought—a human laboratory.
It was established not long before the apocalypse, originally just an ordinary drug laboratory. Unexpectedly, after the apocalypse, the laboratory's experimental focus suddenly shifted to human experimentation.
Initially, the lab director used only small animals like mice and rabbits for experiments, which was normal. However, as the experiments went on for longer and the research became increasingly fanatical...
The experimental subjects gradually became people.
For the first few months, they were only looking for homeless, destitute, or insignificant people who were about to die from illness.
Later, after they moved to the Liancheng base and established this laboratory, their demand for test subjects increased, and the source of test subjects became fraud and deception.
They opened a hospital to the public, which also made it easier to find test subjects during treatment.
Listening to Experimenter Number One's nonchalant attitude towards other people's lives, and his talk of the increasing number of dying test subjects, it was as if the dead weren't living people, but lifeless objects. His words were filled with cold-bloodedness and a sense of detachment from reality.
Indeed, in the eyes of these lab technicians, what difference is there between those experimental subjects and ordinary objects?
There is still a difference, after all, people can bring them huge benefits, while objects cannot.
The people present listened to Experimenter Number One's words, their brows furrowed, their faces ashen, as they suppressed their anger. Their eyes were as sharp as blades; if looks could kill, Experimenter Number One would have been dead a hundred times over by now.
Sensing that something was off in the air, Experimenter Number One became hesitant and incoherent.
"Go on, tell me about the structure of this lab, the personnel, and what your responsibilities are."
Gu Yanzhi kicked the lab technician in frustration and continued to ask.
The laboratory is not very large yet; at least according to the lab technicians, it is much smaller than the enormous structure that Gu Yanzhi remembered.
The lab currently has only a dozen or so researchers, working in pairs to focus on a single research area. They are all managed by an assistant surnamed Liu, and these lab technicians rarely see the lab director, so they are not very familiar with him.
All they knew was that the person in charge had connections, and their experiments were supported by those connections.
The experimental rooms were all on the floor below, the same floor Gu Yanlin and his group went to. Besides the lab technicians, there were quite a few security personnel.
The controls below were much stricter than on this floor. As Chu Guodong had expected, this floor was just a temporary rest area for the lab technicians and a warehouse.
Those who can conduct human experiments are not normal people. Everyone is obsessed with experiments, and when they are engrossed, they don't care about resting. The probability of using the laboratory on this floor is very small.
This time, all the rooms downstairs were full, so they had no choice but to dump Chu Guodong and the others on this floor.
Experimenter Number One was also clever; he described himself as an assistant, while Experimenter Number Two on Gu Yanlin's side was the main person in charge of their area of responsibility. However, based on his previous descriptions of the dead, Gu Yanlin and the others did not believe him.
It was also confirmed that the people in the surrounding villages were indeed tricked into coming by Liu, the assistant in the laboratory, and that several frail elderly people and children had died because they could not withstand the high intensity of the experiments.
Having learned enough of what he wanted to know, Gu Yanzhi pretended to be unable to bear the descriptions given by Experimenter Number One and went outside for some fresh air.
In reality, they took this opportunity to explore each room, collecting anything useful and placing a compressed bomb in each room to ensure that nothing would be left behind when they left.
When Gu Yanzhi returned from his "break," they had learned most of the information and realized that the remaining three were on the most dangerous B2 level. Without further delay, the group quickly exited through the door they had just opened.
Opening the door from the inside out is the same as opening it from the outside in; both require the assistance of Experimenter Number One.
The door recognition system is located on one of the bedroom doors, and it's unclear who the designer was who came up with such a bunch of anti-human hidden methods.
Without Experimenter Number One, they might not have been able to find a way to open the door.
They successfully entered the elevator on the B2 floor. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they keenly noticed that the security measures on the B2 floor were indeed much more stringent than the experimenter had said.
As soon as you step out of the elevator, you can see the surveillance cameras on the ceiling above your head. There's one every few steps, making it hard to avoid being noticed.
However, this did not stump Gu Yanzhi and his group. They knew that around this time every day, the lab technicians would regularly send in a group of people responsible for cleaning the lab to clean it.
Gu Yanzhi and his men had been waiting on the G floor for a short while when they found the person they were looking for, knocked him unconscious, and took off his clothes and put them on themselves.
