Chapter 304: Forced Out of the Sea of Fire
Qiao Yu and the other three did not hear Professor Kang and Professor Shen's analysis.
Because they followed Dr. Ruan directly when he came out of the house.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader.
Rescuing Professor Kang and Professor Shen is certainly important, but if Dr. Ruan can be caught, it will not only be about rescuing the two professors.
After Dr. Ruan came out of the tin house, he went straight out of the abandoned factory, got in the car at the gate, and drove all the way to the southwest of the factory.
Qiao Yu, Jiang Zhan and the other three activated their special powers and followed closely behind, all the way to a separate iron house with Dr. Ruan.
This house is located deep in the dense forest, surrounded by tall mutant plants, making it extremely hidden. If it were an ordinary person, it would not be possible to find it.
There were already several people standing at the door, led by a female assistant to Dr. Ruan, whom Qiao Yu had met at the research institute.
Dr. Ruan got out of the car and his assistant immediately came to greet him.
"Doctor, everything has been arranged as you instructed."
Dr. Ruan nodded as he walked into the room. "Yes. Is the lab ready?"
"I'm ready, but..." The assistant's tone suddenly became hesitant.
Dr. Ruan stopped and frowned slightly, "But what?"
"But I don't know if something went wrong with that person. The medicine they promised us previously...is no longer available. And the number of experimental subjects they promised us previously may have to be reduced."
Dr. Ruan frowned even more deeply. "You didn't give a reason?"
The assistant shook his head, "No."
Dr. Ruan uttered a light "tsk" and said in a very unhappy tone, "Why did the problem happen at this critical moment? It's really unreliable!"
The assistant did not respond, but simply lowered his head silently.
Dr. Ruan didn't embarrass his assistant. After thinking for a few seconds, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. It's just that some medicine can't be used. It's not a big deal. There's no rush for test subjects. We'll always have more."
"We should have some medicine left in stock, right?"
"Yes," the assistant nodded, "but we don't have much in stock."
"The base drug is fine, but there's only enough for about three people left of the Lost Soul."
"Lost soul?" Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the familiar words.
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and said nothing, but she felt a little relieved in her heart.
Their previous guess was correct; Dr. Ruan did not take orders from Han Ming.
——There is a cooperative relationship between them.
But this conclusion did not make Qiao Yu feel much relieved.
Even though Han Ming has not completely infiltrated the survivor base in City A, his hand has still reached here.
Han Ming’s shadow can be seen in every recent incident, whether in City G or City A.
Human trafficking, drug trafficking...
Although we still don’t know what Han Ming wants to do, we can at least infer that he is now making a lot of money.
This is not good news.
Qiao Yu was thinking when he heard Dr. Ruan continue, "Get the medicine ready. It may be needed later."
"yes."
After listening to Dr. Ruan finish his instructions, Qiao Yu looked at Jiang Zhan and said, "Zhan, how is it? Is there anything going on around here?"
Jiang Zhan shook his head. "Including Dr. Ruan, there are fourteen people in total, all here."
"In that case, we can't miss such a good opportunity." Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
The other three people looked at each other when they heard this, and they all saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
There are twelve guards here, divided into four groups, three people in each group.
They patrol and move around in the four corners of the house: east, south, west and north.
There are only two people left, Dr. Ruan and his assistant.
While Dr. Ruan and his assistant were entering the room, Qiao Yu and the other three quickly took down all the guards in the four corners.
Cheng Sinian then set a fire outside the house in an attempt to lure Dr. Ruan and his assistant out.
Dr. Ruan and his assistant were quite alert. As soon as the fire started, they noticed the scene outside the door.
"Is there a fire? Why is there no movement from those outside?" The assistant frowned and looked out the window. "Doctor, I'll go out and take a look."
A trace of alarm flashed across Dr. Ruan's face, and he reached out to stop the assistant. "Wait. Something's wrong."
The guards Dr. Ruan brought here are all his confidants and it is impossible for them to neglect their duties.
The fire came so strangely and was so big, how could no one have noticed it?
Dr. Ruan looked at the fire outside the window, his eyes flickering.
"Xiao Yuan, when we came here, was there a tail behind us?"
The assistant, known as "Xiao Yuan," thought carefully about it, then shook her head affirmatively, "No, Doctor."
She has an enhanced hearing system, so if there is a tail behind her, there is no way she won't hear it.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Ruan looked even more alert.
He tiptoed to the door and whispered, "Han Zhao?"
The only response he got was silent.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan held her breath and listened quietly for a while. Then she immediately pulled out a pistol from her waist, tightly gripped it in her hand, and said in a low voice with a pale face, "Doctor, there's no one outside now."
Qiao Yu and his companions did not kill the twelve guards directly, but Jiang Zhan had already covered the entire outer perimeter of the iron sheet with a mental barrier, so it was normal that Xiao Yuan could not hear any sound.
"The fire is too big, Doctor, let's get out first! If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."
"No," Dr. Ruan said in a deep voice, "This fire started strangely. It's obvious that someone is forcing us to leave."
The fire burned very quickly, and in just a few tens of seconds, it had reached the door of the house.
He absolutely wouldn't believe that there was no trick involved.
Dr. Ruan lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. Then he quickly walked to a desk in the corner of the room, picked up a black intercom, and asked quickly, "Han Min, is there anything unusual with Professor Kang and Professor Shen?"
The intercom soon made a rustling sound, followed by a male voice: "Doctor, there is nothing unusual here for the time being."
No?
Dr. Ruan's eyebrows were twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川". Could it be that this was a trick of those young people in the base to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Is it really directed at him?
"Doctor!" Xiao Yuan's voice behind him became increasingly urgent. "Let's go! If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to leave!"
The smoke in the room grew thicker and thicker. Dr. Ruan clenched his fists, quickly piled up all the things on the table, picked them up, and then, under Xiao Yuan's escort, covered his mouth and nose and ran quickly out the door.
However, just as the two stepped out of the door, a low male voice suddenly came to their ears.
——"Dr. Ruan, where are you going?"
