Go down into the cave, walk along a dark path, and at the end of the path is a tightly closed gate.
Gu Yanzhi carefully examined the door. The door was made using the most advanced technology in China before the apocalypse. It could only be opened with a password and could not be forcibly destroyed. If it was forcibly breached, it would automatically explode.
The explosion's impact was enough to level most of the Lotus City base.
It seems we can't force it open; we'll have to find a way to unlock it.
Just as the group was standing in front of the door, looking extremely anxious, they heard footsteps behind them.
In the darkness, they couldn't see each other's movements, but the five of them moved in perfect unison. There was nowhere to hide in this passage, so the five of them quickly pressed themselves against the wall and scrambled up to the roof in a few quick movements.
"These awful days are finally almost over."
"Yes, that guy surnamed Li is actually somewhat useful; he managed to get the person under control."
"These days I can only go out in the middle of the night like a thief, I'm so bored!"
"It's all the same. Who would have thought that even a special forces captain could become a test subject? This batch of people should have the best physical condition since the experiment began, which should greatly advance the progress of the experiment."
"Yeah, I don't know if we'll get one assigned to our group. I don't even want to be the team leader, the weakest one will do."
As the footsteps drew closer, the conversation of the newcomers drifted into the ears of the five people clinging to the wall.
It's easy to tell that the two people were talking about Team 532.
The two people were wearing pure white coats. In the darkness, their faces and bodies were not visible; only the two white garments could be seen floating in the air. It did indeed give off a bit of a horror movie vibe.
They stopped at the gate, and one of them turned on his flashlight. Using the light, he groped around on the wall next to the gate and found a completely inconspicuous protrusion.
"This piece of junk, I can never find it without the light," he complained as he pressed down on the tiny protrusion.
A screen lit up on the door, displaying a nine-key numeric keypad.
After skillfully entering the password, a message indicating that the password was correct appeared on the screen, which then redirected to the facial recognition interface.
Gu Yanzhi thought to himself, "I didn't expect this thing to be so troublesome."
After the two people passed the facial recognition, a green "pass" mark appeared on the screen, and the door slowly opened.
Before the door was opened, Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin released their grip on the ceiling wall.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The two thuds drew the attention of the two people who were about to enter the room. They turned around quickly and saw two masked men in black standing behind them, which startled them so much that they were about to shout.
Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin reacted quickly, covering their mouths and knocking them unconscious with a chop to the neck. They then dragged the two men inside the gate.
While the two were moving, the others quickly jumped down from the roof and slipped inside.
The door was now closed, and it was back to its previous tight seal.
The lobby was narrow but bright and spacious, with only the elevator opposite the main entrance humming away.
Zhao Rui took the lead and pressed the elevator button, but there was no response; none of the buttons lit up. After waiting for several minutes without seeing an elevator arrive, Zhao Rui scratched his head awkwardly.
Gu Yanzhi observed the elevator for a moment, then decisively dragged up one of the lab technicians he had just knocked unconscious and pressed his middle finger onto the elevator button.
As Gu Yanzhi had expected, the elevator's down button lit up, and an elevator arrived shortly afterward.
It was definitely the right decision not to leave them outside.
Once inside the elevator, there are only three buttons: G, B1, and B2. G is the floor they are on.
After a brief discussion, the five decided that Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao would go to the first floor, while the other three would go to the second floor.
Upon reaching B1, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao were the first to disembark.
Before leaving, Gu Yanzhi handed Gu Yanlin a small bag. The bag wasn't big; it was just the size of a normal shoulder bag that could be carried on one's body. The others didn't suspect where Gu Yanzhi had conjured it from; they just assumed that they hadn't noticed it because she had brought it with her at the beginning.
Gu Yanlin immediately understood what was inside and gave Gu Yanzhi a reassuring look.
Before they went down, they didn't forget to drag one of the two lab technicians away at random, because who knows where they might need him later.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I entered a stairwell. I walked around the stairwell but couldn't find a way out.
Gu Yanzhi guessed that there might be a hidden door installed here.
The two walked around the stairwell again, gently tapping on the wall as they went.
"Captain, there's a noise outside!"
Lin Cheng, who was scouting nearby, heard a faint sound coming from the wall and quickly gestured to Chu Guodong.
Chu Guodong walked nearby and listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a very light tapping sound.
"It seems this is the place." Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao knocked on the wall for a long time and found a spot that sounded different from the other places.
"Thump thump, thump thump thump, thump thump, thump thump thump thump"
As the two were facing this unusual place, trying to figure out how to open it, they heard clear knocking sounds coming from inside.
Unlike their light, tentative tapping, the sound coming from inside was deep and rhythmic.
After a short pause, once the sounds inside had stopped, Song Zhao began tapping the wall in the same rhythm to respond to the sounds inside.
Song Zhao was typing the unique contact code used by Squad 532, which was prepared for situations where the two sides could not meet but still identify each other as friend or foe.
Similar to Morse code, yet different, it's a method unique to Squad 532.
For the past few months, they have been working with Squad 532. To make things easier for Song Zhao and Gu Yanzhi, they also learned the language. Both of them are smart, and they mastered it completely in no time.
"Captain, it really is them! How are we going to get out of here?" Hearing the familiar rhythm, Lin Cheng was pleasantly surprised, but then his expression turned to frustration.
There wasn't a single gap in what appeared to be a door, let alone in other places.
Song Zhao and Gu Yanzhi went all out. Gu Yanzhi took out a small bottle from his spatial storage and placed it under the nose of Experimenter Number One. After a short while, the person slowly woke up.
As soon as Experimenter Number One opened his eyes, he saw two masked men in black. Recalling the scene before he lost consciousness, he screamed the next second.
Song Zhao immediately covered his mouth, and a dagger appeared in his hand at some point, pressed against Experimenter Number One's neck.
"Don't shout, how do I open this door?" Song Zhao moved the dagger closer to Experimenter Number One and asked in a deep voice.
"Mmm, mmm mmm," Experimenter Number One's eyes were filled with terror, and he dared not move. He was saying something, but unfortunately his mouth was covered, so it was impossible to hear him.
