Chapter 254 The traitor hiding in the laboratory
"Miss Qiao, what did you say?"
Beside him, Xiao Liu, who was a bodyguard from the South China Sea, reacted quickly. While confirming with Qiao Lan, he had already taken out his pistol. Energy surged around him and he entered a state of alert.
He also picked up the communicator, ready to contact security personnel at any time.
"There is an enemy outside the door, no more than five meters away." Qiao Lan said with certainty.
Xiao Liu was secretly shocked when he heard this.
This is the most secretive and secure internal key laboratory. The resurrection drug experiment is conducted here because it has complete security and outside enemies cannot easily enter.
But Qiao Lan said that the enemy was within five meters outside the door.
Outside the door is the laboratory's external suite, which also serves as the experiment's monitoring room and auxiliary preparation room.
The enemy actually broke through here? !
Xiao Liu immediately activated the communicator and used code words to notify senior security personnel in various locations, asking everyone to assemble quickly.
He gripped his service pistol tightly and quickly walked to the explosion-proof door of the laboratory, checking the situation outside through the video surveillance at the door.
But the real-time screen showed that everything was normal in the suite outside the door, and several assistant lab technicians were working in an orderly manner at their respective posts.
But Xiao Liu didn't think Qiao Lan had misjudged him, because Qiao Lan's combat power had already been reported to the top leaders through the battle reports from the Eastern Theater Command and City C. He believed that a master like Qiao Lan must have his own unique abilities and be able to detect dangers that others could not see.
Security codewords came from the communicator, and the experts had gathered outside the suite door, asking if they could enter.
Xiao Liu immediately told in code: rush in quickly and control everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw on the real-time screen that the door leading to the outside of the suite was suddenly thrown open, and a group of security experts armed with live ammunition were ordered to rush in. In less than two seconds, they had controlled all the assistant experimenters in the room.
Xiao Liu looked at Qiao Lan questioningly.
Qiao Lan pondered for a moment, then nodded to Xiao Liu, "Let's go out."
Xiao Liu immediately opened the explosion-proof door according to the password, took Qiao Lan into the suite, and then quickly closed the door to avoid affecting the experimental progress inside.
Qiao Lan walked up to an assistant experimenter who was being controlled.
This is a young man with ordinary appearance. He wears very thick myopic glasses on his nose and has a confused look on his face. It is obvious that he has become stupid because of reading too much.
Qiao Lan said nothing and just stood in front of him.
When the man with glasses saw Qiao Lan, he was still puzzled at first, but within half a minute, surprise and fear flashed across his narrowed eyes. He quickly adjusted his mood and returned to his innocence, but gradually, the surprise on his face became more and more intense, and he could no longer hide it.
"puff!"
Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then his face quickly turned pale and he became weak and powerless. He had to be supported by security personnel to barely stand.
Everyone around, including Xiao Liu, felt puzzled.
No one knew that in just two or three minutes, Qiao Lan and the man with glasses had already fought several rounds!
Space competition!
In fact, Qiao Lan was also quite surprised.
This man was actually a space-based person like her. Moreover, his space manipulation had no energy fluctuations and was very secretive.
Qiao Lan passed by this suite when he entered the internal laboratory. The man with glasses was also present as an assistant experimenter, but Qiao Lan did not notice him at that time.
But, it just happened to be such a coincidence.
Who would have thought that just now, when Xiao Tang was doing an experiment, Qiao Lan's mental power was upgraded due to the extreme tension, and his spatial perception and control abilities were improved!
Then, I noticed the glasses man's secret operation of the space and his hostility.
"Miss Qiao, what's going on?"
When Xiao Liu saw the assistant experimenter vomiting blood, he hurriedly asked and signaled with his eyes to the security personnel to tighten control over the man, because there was no doubt that the danger Qiao Lan was referring to was this man.
Qiao Lan didn't explain, but only asked, "Do you have any reliable leaders here?"
Xiao Liu quickly glanced at the experimenters and security guards around him and understood what Qiao Lan meant.
There are too many people here and it's not convenient to talk. Miss Qiao wants to talk directly to the person in charge.
"Ms. Qiao, I can immediately accompany you to meet the chief laboratory officer, Major General Zhao."
"No, I'll wait until the experiment is over." Qiao Lan pointed at the man with glasses and asked him to keep him under temporary custody and go to see his superiors together.
In the brief confrontation just now, the man's spatial ability had been destroyed by her, and he suffered severe backlash, so she was not afraid of him causing trouble.
Xiao Liu did as he was told. After sending Qiao Lan back to the lab, he immediately took care of the follow-up matters, overseeing the external suite and all the lab staff, and reporting to his superiors.
Then he cautiously came back and asked Qiao Lan: "Are you sure there is no danger around now?"
"There shouldn't be any, unless your security is really not good enough." Qiao Lan said half-jokingly.
Anyway, she can't sense it now.
She was actually quite surprised by this. She hadn't expected the danger she'd sensed outside to be just an assistant lab tinkering around, not an enemy invasion. She was also thankful; if it had been an external enemy invasion, Xiao Tang's drug testing would likely have been thwarted.
——Thank God, please, let me finish the experiment safely!
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Xiao Tang's resurrection stimulation experiment lasted until the next morning.
The experimenters' eyes turned into rubies, and each of them looked like a red-eyed monster. The continuous high-intensity excitement and tension made them look haggard, but their eyes were bright, quite like zombies.
The clock on the wall just passed seven o'clock, "Oh!!!"
This group of "zombies" suddenly burst into shouting.
Because suddenly, the image of a line on the screen of the heart monitoring device suddenly jumped.
Just this one moment made everyone instantly excited a hundred times more.
"Potion No. 113, ready, ten seconds left, inject!!"
"Heart booster ready!"
"Extracorporeal circulation system, double the index, activate!"
"Recorder..."
In an instant, a new round of busy work began in the laboratory.
Then another hour passed, and the heart that had beaten weakly was no longer moving, as if the previous beat was just an illusion.
Is this another false success? A brief, false resurrection?
The lead experimenter clenched his fists, stared intently at the screen, and shouted, "Hold on! No one is allowed to let up! Let's start the auxiliary process again from the beginning!"
By the wall, tears glistened in Qiao Lan's eyes.
She turned and walked to the door, asking Xiao Liu to take her to see the person in charge.
There is no problem here anymore.
As the night went by, she felt a stronger sense of vitality. Even though the instruments hadn't detected it yet, she knew it was a success.
Then, she would go and deal with the enemy as soon as possible.
"He's been in the lab for a long time and is a very reliable assistant?" Qiao Lan guessed after listening to Xiao Liu's introduction of the man with glasses. "Then he might be a well-hidden traitor lurking in the lab."
"Haha, if that's the case, he must have protectors and collaborators above him. It's very likely that he could pull out several big fish from one line." An old voice sounded, "Ms. Qiao Lan, perhaps you will make a great contribution again this time."
In a small lounge next to the outer suite, Qiao Lan and Xiao Liu just walked in and saw a bald old man sitting at the table, smiling at them.
When Xiao Liu saw the old man, he was immediately shocked, "...Commander?! Why are you personally..."
