Chapter 105 Heading to Black Abyss Star
While Lin Yao was giving general guidance to all the sentries at the base, Ye Heng had already sorted out the follow-up affairs of the base.
He then notified the people who stayed behind to guard the base to come to the command room and looked at Lu Chen, Lin Yue and Zhao Kun who walked in.
"While Major General Lin, Bian Miao and I are away on Black Abyss Star, the base will be handed over to you," Ye Heng said in a steady tone, then he looked at Lin Yue and Zhao Kun.
"You two assist Lu Chen." His fingertips pointed out two key points on the table.
"First, the medical department's drug usage must be strictly controlled. Director Zhang must submit a daily consumption report, and the drug must not be used up prematurely.
Second, those people must double the guard, especially Zhao Cheng, to prevent him from being kidnapped or committing suicide."
Lin Yue saluted and said in a resounding voice, "Don't worry, Marshal. I will keep a close eye on the logistics and medical arrangements to ensure that the basic needs of the sentinels are not affected."
Zhao Kun also responded: "I will arrange double patrols and keep the communication channel open 24 hours a day. If there is any abnormality, I will report it to you immediately."
Lu Chen also handed Ye Heng a base personnel deployment form in his hand:
"Marshal, as you requested, the sentries at the battle posts have been regrouped, with a focus on strengthening the defenses of the main starport and the energy room to ensure no disturbances occur at the base while you're away."
Ye Heng nodded, his eyes swept over the three of them, and his tone was more trusting: "Chiying is in a critical period now, thank you for your hard work."
Not long after the three of them talked, Lin Yao came to the command room with two documents in his hands.
Ye Heng asked Lin Yao to come in: "Is today's counseling finished?"
Lin Yao handed him two documents, one was the sentry's mental status report, and the other was the preliminary map of the laboratory sent by Lin Ruheng, then nodded and said:
"The last batch of counseling for today has been completed, and everything is ready. My mental strength has almost recovered, and I can set off at any time."
Ye Heng raised his hand to take the document handed to him by Lin Yao. He first opened the sentry's mental status report.
He quickly scanned the assessment results on each page, and when he saw the note "Heavily dependent on the Guide Sentinel, currently relying on medication to maintain stability",
His brows furrowed slightly, and his fingertips lightly ran across the line of words, as if he was silently writing down the names that needed special attention.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Heng looked up at Lin Yao, with a hint of heartache in his tone.
"The last batch of evacuations took a lot of energy, didn't it? If your mental strength hasn't fully recovered, we can postpone our departure for another half a day."
Lin Yao shook his head, the fatigue in his eyes had faded a lot:
"It's okay. I just drank a high-concentration supplement in the medical department. Now my mental strength can maintain normal detection. It won't affect the rest of the journey."
He paused, his eyes falling on the lab map in Ye Heng's hand.
"The laboratory entrance marked by Lin Ruheng is in Lane 17 of the Blackstone Valley Mine. There's a hidden energy barrier there that requires the key he gave me to open. I've already entered the key information into the terminal."
Ye Heng nodded and carefully put the two documents into the storage ring.
He turned to look at Lin Yue, Zhao Kun, and Lu Chen again, his tone becoming calm again, but with a hint of seriousness: "I have a few final instructions regarding the base."
The three of them immediately stood up straight and looked at him intently.
Ye Heng mentioned the base's defense again. At the end, Ye Heng looked at Lu Chen:
“The daily training and patrols of the base are now left to you.
The anti-aircraft guns at the main star port must be debugged daily, and the energy room's reserves must be locked to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation.
If you encounter an emergency that cannot be resolved, prioritize the safety of the soldiers and contact me immediately. Chiying's soldiers are more important than anything else."
Lu Chen nodded vigorously, his eyes full of determination: "Yes, Marshal!"
Ye Heng looked at the trust and determination in the eyes of the three people, and the worries in his heart were slightly relieved. He raised his hand and patted Lin Yue on the shoulder, then looked at Zhao Kun and Lu Chen in turn.
Then he turned to look at Lin Yao, his tone becoming lighter:
"Let's go and get ready. Gather at the Shadow on the landing pad in an hour. Have Bian Miao debug the ship's stealth system in advance to avoid delaying the trip."
Lin Yao followed in response, and when he reached the door of the command room, he turned back to look at Lin Yue and the other two.
They were discussing the subsequent work arrangements with their heads down, looking focused and without any slackness.
In the corridor outside the command room, Ye Heng and Lin Yao walked side by side. The light poured down from above their heads, casting two tall figures on the ground.
"We'll set off in an hour, that should be just the right time." Ye Heng glanced at the military terminal on his wrist.
"Bian Miao and Ye Mang should be checking their weapons and equipment right now. Let's go to the main control room to confirm the latest route of Heiyuan Star to avoid encountering Lin Zhixiong's patrol ships."
Lin Yao nodded and subconsciously quickened his pace. He knew they had no time to waste.
When the two walked into the main control room, Bian Miao was already busy in front of the screen, and the spacecraft's route map was flashing green dots;
Ye Mang and Xu Li were checking their weapons on the side. Tranquilizer guns, heavy sniper rifles, and energy daggers were neatly placed on the table, ready to go at any time.
Seeing Ye Heng and Lin Yao coming in, Bian Miao looked up and said with a smile:
"Marshal, Major General Lin, the route has been confirmed. This route will avoid all patrol routes of Lin Zhixiong."
Then Bian Miao pointed out the route in detail to Ye Heng, first walking along the edge of the 'Deadwood Nebula'.
The electromagnetic turbulence in the nebula can shield the spacecraft's heat signature, making it impossible for Lin Zhixiong's conventional radar to detect it.
Then they would pass by the 'abandoned Ω-7 space station' and go through the cargo passage of the space station, thus avoiding the first wave of patrol ships he deployed in the channel;
Finally, it will circle around the back of the Black Abyss Star, use the planet's own gravitational field to shield it, and land above the "Black Stone Valley" mineral vein in the northern hemisphere.
Bian Miao's fingers tapped a few red marks on the screen and continued to explain:
"These red dots are Lin Zhixiong's fixed patrol points, and he patrols every 15 minutes. Our route happened to be stuck in the gap between his two patrols.
Furthermore, when passing through the Ω-7 space station, the main engine will be temporarily shut down and the backup thrusters will be used instead, which will completely reduce noise.
In addition, during the night time on the Black Abyss Star, a "black stone wind" will blow, and the visibility above the mineral vein will be less than 500 meters.
If our "Shadow" turns on its stealth coating, even if a few patrol ships pass by, they will never be able to detect it.
According to this route, the whole journey takes 6 hours and 17 minutes. If we set off one hour later, we will arrive at the Black Abyss Star during the night time.
At that time, Black Stone Wind was the largest and most convenient to sneak into."
Ye Heng leaned over and stared at the route map, his eyes sweeping over key nodes such as the "Deadwood Nebula" and the "Ω-7 Space Station." His fingertips traced a circle along the green track on the screen:
"Could there be Lin Zhixiong's secret sentries inside the Ω-7 space station?"
“I checked the system of this space station, and it has been broken for a long time and has been abandoned.
I also checked the sector logs for the past three months, and Lin Zhixiong's men only patrolled the outer perimeter of the space station once and never entered the interior."
Bian Miao immediately called up the internal system of the space station and took screenshots of the logs.
"I hacked into the remaining systems of the space station ahead of time and confirmed that all surveillance systems were broken and the cargo passage was not blocked, so it was completely safe to pass through."
Lin Yao was also in front of the screen, listening to Bian Miao's plan: "Don't worry, even if something happens, I can use my mental power to interfere with it when I pass by, and I should be able to pass safely."
Ye Heng nodded, his eyes sweeping over the weapons on the table and the route map on the screen, and the last trace of worry in his heart disappeared.
He looked at everyone and said firmly, "We'll set off in one hour."
"Yes!" Inside the main control room, everyone's voices rang out in unison, echoing in the main control room with the belief that they would win.
-
An hour later, on the apron of Chiying, the stealth coating of the "Shadow" spacecraft glowed dully in the starlight.
Ye Heng, Lin Yao, and Bian Miao walked in the front, followed closely by Ye Mang and Xu Li with ten personal guards.
The hatch of the "Shadow" slowly closed, and only a very slight hum was emitted when the engine started. It soon rose into the air and disappeared into the starry sky, flying towards the direction of the Black Abyss Star.
Inside the spaceship, Bian Miao was already busy at the main console, his fingertips sliding quickly across the screen.
Lin Yao leaned against the porthole, his mental power quietly extending outwards. He did not spread it out over a large area, but only condensed it into a few thin detection lines.
Sensing the meteorite's trajectory in advance, "There is a 5-kilometer-diameter meteorite 30 kilometers to the left and ahead, moving slowly. We need to adjust our course to avoid it."
Ye Heng stood at the main console, looking at the route map on the screen, and ordered Bian Miao: "Adjust the course according to Major General Lin's instructions."
As they got closer to their destination, Bian Miao stared intently at the information on the screen in the control room.
Ye Heng stood aside, his eyes fixed on the route map whose coordinates were constantly updated as the spacecraft moved.
"We are about to enter the edge of the Deadwood Nebula. Prepare to activate electromagnetic shielding mode." Bian Miao's voice broke the silence of the control room.
He pressed the blue button on the control panel, and the outer shell of the spacecraft was instantly covered with a layer of light blue energy film.
"The electromagnetic turbulence intensity within the nebula is 3.7, which is within a safe range. The thermal signature has been reduced to a minimum. Lin Zhixiong's radar should not be able to detect us."
Lin Yao also followed suit, instantly spreading his mental power over the entire exterior of the spacecraft.
The moment his spiritual power spread out and touched the Deadwood Nebula, he could clearly sense countless tiny electromagnetic currents shuttling through the nebula.
Like a messy but effective shielding net, it completely envelops the signal of the "Shadow".
"There is no abnormal energy reaction in the nebula. It is safe for the time being." He withdrew his mental power and nodded to Ye Heng.
"However, electromagnetic turbulence will slightly interfere with communications. From now on, we can only communicate through internal channels."
Ye Heng nodded, his eyes fixed on the route progress bar on the screen: "At the current speed, how long will it take to reach the Ω-7 space station?"
"About 2 hours and 40 minutes." Bian Miao called up the timer.
"I will reduce the spacecraft's speed in advance, shut down the main engine before approaching the space station, and switch to the backup thrusters to avoid the engine noise alerting any outer patrol ships."
The spacecraft was moving steadily on the edge of the Deadwood Nebula. The nebula outside the window appeared a deep dark purple, and occasionally shimmering stardust passed by the porthole like scattered beads.
Ye Mang and Xu Li were doing the final inspection in the weapons compartment. The safety pins of the guns were checked one by one, and the scopes of the heavy sniper rifles were adjusted to the best condition, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
After a while, Bian Miao's voice sounded again: "We are 30 kilometers away from the Ω-7 space station. Prepare to shut down the main engine."
The spacecraft operators obeyed the orders, and the speed of the "Shadow" gradually decreased. The hum of the main engine gradually died down, leaving only the faint vibration of the backup thrusters.
The noise monitor value on the screen instantly dropped to the lowest level, almost blending in with the starry sky background.
Lin Yao's mental power was deployed again, and this time he did not withdraw it after covering it.
When passing by the Ω-7 space station, Bian Miao also adjusted the external camera.
The Ω-7 space station gradually appears on the screen.
The outer shell of this abandoned space station is covered with rust, and part of the cabin has been damaged, revealing the internal metal structure.
The entrance to the cargo channel was clearly visible, with no sign of any patrol vessels around.
Lin Yao was the first to use his mental power to spread out: "The outer perimeter of the space station is safe, and the cargo channel is not blocked, which is consistent with Bian Miao's previous detection results."
The "Shadow" slowly approached the cargo channel. The size of the spacecraft fit perfectly with the entrance of the channel, as if it was designed specifically for this place.
"Prepare to enter the passage. There will be slight vibrations. Everyone hold on tight." The operator's voice had just fallen.
The spacecraft slowly entered the cargo channel. The friction between the cabin wall and the edge of the channel caused slight vibrations, which soon stabilized.
The passage was pitch black, with only two white beams from the Shadow's searchlight illuminating the path ahead.
Lin Yao stared at the obstacle scan on the screen, watching the spacecraft nimbly avoid the discarded parts floating in the passage:
"The surveillance system here is indeed completely broken. There is no signal transmission. We can pass through without worry."
Twenty minutes later, the Shadow sailed out of the cargo tunnel of the Ω-7 space station and re-entered the open starry sky.
The operator started the main engine, and the spacecraft's speed gradually increased as it headed towards the Black Abyss Star.
"Next is the final leg of the journey. We'll circle around the back of Black Abyss Star, use its gravitational field to shield us, and land directly above the Black Stone Valley mine."
After another hour and a half of driving, the outline of the Black Abyss Star finally appeared outside the window.
The surface of the planet is covered with large black mineral veins, and the atmosphere is thick gray, as if shrouded in a layer of dust.
"The night period on Black Abyss Star has begun. The black rock wind is intensifying, and visibility has dropped to below 500 meters."
Bian Miao called up the planet's weather data, "We just happened to catch the strongest period of the Black Rock wind, so now is the most suitable time to land."
Lin Yao's spiritual power spread out again when he entered the range of the Black Abyss Star.
Now one can clearly sense the strong air currents roaring over the mine, forming a natural barrier:
"There are no patrol ships above the mine, and the location of the energy barrier has been confirmed. We can land directly on the nearby abandoned platform."
The "Shadow" circled to the back of the Black Abyss Star, and with the help of the planet's gravitational field, slowly entered the atmosphere.
The black rock wind slapped the hull of the spacecraft with a sharp whistling sound, and the "Shadow" swayed slightly, but always maintained a stable course.
The landing coordinates on the screen kept refreshing, and finally locked onto an abandoned mining platform next to the Black Stone Valley mine.
"Prepare for landing, deploy landing gear." The spacecraft operator prompted.
The "Shadow" slowly descended. The moment the landing legs touched the platform ground, there was a slight vibration, and then it completely stabilized.
Everyone on the spaceship breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Heng stood up and glanced at everyone: "We have arrived at Black Abyss Star successfully, and now we will proceed according to the plan."
The Lin family's experimental base is hidden deep in the abandoned mine "Black Stone Valley" in the north of the planet.
"According to Lin Ruheng's information, the experimental base has three lines of defense." Ye Heng called up the holographic map and pointed at the red dot at the entrance of the mine.
"The first level is the perimeter mechanical patrols, which patrol once every ten minutes and are equipped with thermal detectors.
The second level is the biometric door at the entrance, which requires the genes of a direct descendant of the Lin family to open;
The third level is the energy scanner within the channel, which can detect mental fluctuations and weapon energy. Once an abnormality is found, an alarm will be triggered."
After Ye Heng introduced the basic situation of the experimental base, he made arrangements for everyone:
"Ye Mang, take two personal guards and deal with the patrol soldiers outside. Move quickly and don't leave any traces.
Xu Li, you will be responsible for carrying a heavy sniper rifle and guarding the abandoned platform at the top of the mine to prevent Lin Zhixiong's men from suddenly appearing;
Bian Miao, you stay on the spacecraft and monitor the surrounding environment and assist in invading the experimental base system to crack the biometric door.
If you discover any anomalies, please notify us immediately via the internal channel."
After giving those instructions, Ye Heng said to Lin Yao, "Let's go take care of that barrier first."
"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison and quickly prepared for battle.
Ye Mang and Xu Li were the first to walk out of the spaceship, weapons in hand, and disappeared in the dust raised by the black stone wind.
Bian Miao stayed in the main control room. After a while, images appeared on the two screens in front of him.
On the left is the surrounding surveillance footage, closely monitoring the movements in the direction of the mineral vein;
On the right is the system firewall of the Lin family experimental base. Bian Miao is cracking the code one after another at a very fast speed.
The black stone wind whistled on the abandoned platform, carrying the mineral dust. Ye Heng stood by the hatch of the spaceship, his eyes sweeping over Lin Yao beside him, and then looking in the direction where Ye Mang and Xu Li disappeared.
The figures of the two people have been swallowed by the thick dust, and only the faint sound of metal friction can be heard occasionally.
They were adjusting their weapons and equipment, preparing to deal with the mechanical patrols outside.
Lin Yao raised his hand to activate the terminal and called up the key information for the energy barrier: "The entrance to Alley 17 is 300 meters ahead."
Ye Heng nodded, raised his hand and pressed the energy gun on his waist, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surrounding mineral veins.
The pitch-black mine tunnel is like a gaping mouth, appearing even deeper amidst the howling black stone wind.
Lin Yao's fingertips slid quickly across the terminal, and key information was continuously transmitted into the control system of the energy barrier.
At the entrance of Alley No. 17 in the distance, a light blue barrier gradually appeared, and then the blue barrier gradually disappeared.
"The barrier was successfully broken." Lin Yao looked up at Ye Heng.
Ye Heng nodded. He did not rush in, but waited for Ye Mang and the others' report.
Lin Yao's terminal screen was still stuck on the energy barrier cracking interface. He raised his hand and adjusted the screen brightness to the lowest level to avoid exposing his position to light:
"Bian Miao should be starting to crack the biometric door soon. Let's wait for Ye Mang's patrol to report back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Mang's low voice came from the internal communication channel:
"Marshal, we're 50 meters away from the first patrol. The thermal detector is scanning. We're hiding behind the abandoned minecart and will attack once it turns the corner."
Ye Heng responded into the communicator: "Pay attention to the angle, hit its energy core, don't trigger the alarm."
"receive."
Not long after, a slight "sizzle" sound was heard in the channel, followed by Ye Mang's report:
"The first one is resolved. The power core was punctured, but no alarm was sounded. The second one is at 10 o'clock, coming along the track, and is expected to arrive in 3 minutes."
Lin Yao's mental power quietly extended outward, accurately locking onto the approaching mechanical patrolman.
It was pitch black, and its six metal legs made a regular "tapping" sound as they tapped against the ground in the mine.
The thermal energy detector on the top is like a red eye, scanning left and right, and its detection range covers an area with a radius of 20 meters.
"Its scanning frequency is once every 3 seconds. There is a 1.5-second window between scans. Ye Mang, you can take action during that time."
"clear!"
When the mechanical patrolman's thermal energy detector turned to the other side, Ye Mang and two of his personal guards quickly stood up from behind the abandoned mine cart, moving as fast as three black shadows.
The guards fired their guns almost at the same time, and two bullets with blue tail flames accurately hit the patrolman's energy core.
With a "click", the patrolman's red detector went out instantly, and the six metal legs stopped without even a trace of unnecessary sound.
"The outer patrols have cleared out all three. They've taken care of them all. No traces left."
Ye Mang's voice was lighthearted. "We are now at the edge of the platform at the top of the mine. We can see Xu Li's position. He has already set up his sniper rifle."
Ye Heng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look in the direction of the spaceship.
The light from the main control room was faintly visible through the porthole. Bian Miao should be cracking the system of the biometric door.
He whispered into the communicator, "Bian Miao, what's going on? Can the firewall of the biometric door be broken?"
The crisp sound of Bian Miao typing on the keyboard could be heard from the communication channel, mixed with his slightly hurried response:
"Marshal, this firewall is more complicated than expected. The Lin family added three layers of encryption, but I found their loophole.
The old energy signals from abandoned mines can interfere with the system's recognition. Combined with the key given by Lin Ruheng, it is estimated that it can be cracked in 5 minutes!
The surveillance footage on the left is normal; no other patrol personnel or machinery were seen approaching Lin Zhixiong."
"Okay, let's go into Alley 17 now. Once you've cracked the biometric door, let us know."
After Ye Heng finished speaking, he nodded to Lin Yao and said, "Let's go."
The two walked side by side towards Alley 17. The black stone wind gradually weakened behind them, but the air in the alley became increasingly cold, with a faint smell of disinfectant.
Apparently, people from the lab frequently come in and out of here. Lin Yao raised his hand to activate the terminal again, his fingertips sliding across the screen:
"The energy barrier has just been broken. The entrance is now open, but there may be energy scanners inside. We have to be careful."
As he spoke, Lin Yao extended his mental power first. Ye Heng slowed down his pace and waited for Lin Yao's signal.
After a while, Lin Yao withdrew his mental power: "It's safe inside for the time being, no abnormalities found."
Ye Heng nodded to indicate that he understood, then he took out a fluorescent stick from his pocket, lit it, and threw it into the depths of the alley.
The pale green light illuminated the area 50 meters ahead, and one could see that the walls on both sides of the tunnel were covered with old mining marks.
Occasionally, water drops drip from the top and form small puddles on the ground.
"Bian Miao, how long will it take?" Ye Heng asked into the communicator.
"Almost there! The last layer of encryption will be broken soon!" Bian Miao's voice was a little excited, and the keyboard tapping sound became faster and faster.
"I just found out that the guards' patrol cycle is 5 minutes. The first group of guards just passed by the main entrance and are expected to reach the corner of the alley in 2 minutes.
You have to pass the energy scanner before that! The biometric door system is restarting. Once it recognizes the genetic simulation signal I send, it will open! "
At this moment, Lin Yao suddenly raised his hand to hold Ye Heng's arm and whispered:
“Be careful, there’s an energy scanner signal ahead.
At the corner at the end of the alley, scan every 10 seconds to cover the entire passage."
His mental power had already detected the scanner hidden in the wall. The screen-like detection surface was flashing with a faint blue light.
"It can detect mental fluctuations and weapon energy. We need to turn off the safety of the energy gun, and I also need to reduce my mental power to the minimum.
Also, I can sense the guard, at the other end of the passage, about 100 meters away."
Ye Heng immediately did as he was told, pushed the safety of the energy gun to the bottom, and checked his equipment again to make sure there were no metal parts that would reflect light.
The two men pressed themselves against the wall, keeping their bodies extremely low to avoid triggering the scanner's detection range.
"Marshal! The biometric door is open! I'll give you a map of the inner passage and the guard positions.
The first group of guards will be at the corner in 1 minute and 30 seconds, and you only have 20 seconds to get through the scanner!"
Bian Miao's voice came in time, and a colorful map immediately popped up on the terminal screen. The red dots represented guards, and the green routes were safe passages.
Ye Heng glanced at the map and said to Lin Yao, "Let's go while the scanner is interrupted and hide in the storage room before the guards get here."
The two men moved quickly, one in front and one behind, sticking to the wall of the alley.
When I walked to the corner, I could clearly see the blue light of the energy scanner inside the wall flashing, and the originally regular scanning rhythm became disordered.
Sometimes it scans every 3 seconds, sometimes every 5 seconds.
That was the effect of Bian Miao's remote interference.
The footsteps at the other end of the passage were getting closer and closer, mixed with the voices of the guards talking:
"I thought I heard some noise in the alley just now. Do you want to go check it out?"
"Don't make a fuss. The Blackrock wind is making the mine tunnels noisy. Finish your patrol and return to the lounge."
"Now!" Ye Heng growled, grabbing Lin Yao's wrist and rushing around the corner.
The blue light of the scanner just passed over the place where they had just stood, but due to interference, no abnormality was detected.
After rushing around the corner, the two men immediately hid in the abandoned storage room next to the passage and gently closed the iron door.
Almost at the same time, two guards in black combat uniforms holding energy guns walked from the other end of the passage, and their footsteps gradually faded away outside the door.
"Phew—that was close." Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief and watched the guard's back disappear into the depths of the corridor through the crack in the storage room door.
"They've made it through. Now we can go to the main entrance."
"Ye Mang, Xu Li, you stay put and stay put. There are guards inside the lab. Let's find out the situation before we act."
Ye Heng gave orders into the communicator.
"receive!"
Ye Heng and Lin Yao looked at each other and saw tension and solemnity in each other's eyes.
The experimental base is indeed strictly guarded, so the next actions must be more cautious.
He gently pushed open the door of the storage room and walked into the passage first.
Lin Yao followed behind, and the terminal always maintained a connection with Bian Miao.
The surveillance footage on the screen showed that the two researchers in the main control room were still recording data with their heads down and found no abnormalities.
When the two men reached the metal door, it was already fully opened.
Inside is a bright corridor with white lights installed on both sides of the wall.
The floor is covered with non-slip grey tiles, in stark contrast to the dilapidated alley outside.
The doors of the rooms on both sides of the corridor are marked with numbers, "Reagent Storage Room", "Sample Analysis Room", "Main Control Room"...
On the innermost door, "Core Experimental Area" was written in red font, which was exactly the direction of their target.
"Bian Miao, can you control the cameras in the corridor? Don't let the guards see us through the surveillance." Ye Heng asked into the communicator.
"Invasion in progress! The three cameras in the corridor have been set to loop mode so the guards can't see the real-time footage!
However, the camera in the main control room has not been cracked yet. Those two researchers can see the entrance to the core experimental area. You must enter without being seen by them."
Bian Miao's voice was a little hurried. "The second group of guards is approaching the sample analysis room. They are expected to pass by your location in 30 seconds. Hide quickly!"
Ye Heng immediately pulled Lin Yao to hide behind the fire hydrant beside the corridor, staring at the end of the corridor.
Soon, two guards came from the other end of the corridor holding energy guns. Their steps were steady and their eyes vigilantly scanned the room doors on both sides.
When they passed by the fire hydrant, Ye Heng and Lin Yao held their breath, and even their heartbeats slowed down a bit.
The muzzle of the guard's energy gun was less than one meter away from them. As long as the other party moved slightly, they would be discovered.
Fortunately, the guard just glanced at the fire hydrant and walked straight to the reagent storage room in front. He pushed the door open, checked around, closed it again, and continued patrolling forward.
"It's safe. They went to patrol ahead. The researchers in the main control room are still busy and haven't noticed this side."
Lin Yao's mental power was locked on the direction of the main control room, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was safe.
"The core experimental area is in front. Bian Miao is cracking the camera in the main control room. We have to go in before the second group of guards return."
Ye Heng nodded, walked out from behind the fire hydrant first, and headed towards the core experimental area:
"Let's go directly to the core experimental area, get the evidence and mental power guidance information, and then leave. Don't go to the main control room to alert the researchers and avoid any complications."
Lin Yao followed closely behind. On the terminal screen, Bian Miao had successfully interfered with the surveillance at the entrance to the core experimental area:
"The door has been opened remotely. There are no guards inside, only the automatic experiment machine is running. You can go in!
I'll keep an eye on the guards in the corridor and let you know in advance when they're heading back!"
The metal door slowly opened, and the scene inside appeared before the two of them.
The huge lab tables were arranged in a ring, with a half-man-high instrument in the center, the screen displaying a complex energy fluctuation map;
The surrounding filing cabinets were filled with research reports, labeled
"37th Experiment in Extracting Guyin Worm Energy"
"Mental Power Channeling Potion Formula" and other words;
On the storage shelf in the corner, there are still unopened reagent bottles piled up, with the Lin family's exclusive logo printed on them.
"Found it!" Lin Yao quickly walked to the filing cabinet, reached out and pulled out a report marked "Spiritual Power Guidance". After opening it, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Here are the complete potion formulas and treatment plans for the Sentinel's mental disorder!"
Ye Heng also walked over to the central instrument. The star beast energy data on the screen was constantly refreshing. He quickly copied the data into the terminal:
"These are probably evidence of the Lin family's collaboration with the Third Prince. With these solid evidences, they won't be able to escape."
The shrunken black cloud slowly swam in the laboratory, its vertical pupils scanning every corner to ensure there were no hidden traps or surveillance.
When it swam to a hidden corner, it suddenly stopped and hissed at the wall.
There was a tiny gap there, which seemed to be a hidden compartment.
"What's wrong?" Ye Heng noticed Mo Yun's abnormality and walked over.
Lin Yao also followed, and his mental power penetrated the wall, immediately sensing the energy fluctuations within the hidden compartment:
"There's something inside. It looks like an encrypted memory drive."
He raised his hand and felt around on the wall, and soon found a hidden button. After pressing it, the wall slowly opened, revealing a palm-sized metal plate.
Ye Heng picked up the storage disk. He didn’t have time to check what was inside, but he could take it back and look at it.
When the two were searching for something else, Bian Miao's voice suddenly rang out:
"Oh no! The researcher on duty at the lab discovered that the door to the core experimental area is open and is notifying the guards to check it out! The alarm system has also been activated!"
Ye Heng's face darkened and he packed up everything.
"Let's go! Evacuate immediately! Ye Mang, Xu Li, get ready to pick us up. Bian Miao, activate the spaceship's stealth system, we'll be there soon!"
"receive!"
As the two rushed out of the core experimental area, they saw the second group of guards at the end of the corridor rushing towards them with energy guns raised, shouting, "Don't move! Stop!"
"Mo Yun!" Ye Heng growled.
Mo Yun rushed out instantly, and his huge body was like a dark green lightning, instantly entangled the legs of a guard.
The guard screamed, fell heavily to the ground, and the energy gun flew out.
Just as another guard was about to shoot, Lin Yao attacked with his mental power, and the guard's body went limp and he fell down.
"Hurry! The first group of guards is coming this way!"
Lin Yao pulled Ye Heng and ran towards the entrance of the alley.
The corridor was filled with the sound of rapid alarms, red warning lights flashing, hurried footsteps, and people shouting "Stop!"
Occasionally, energy lights and bullets would pass by his ears, and Lin Yao would put up an ice-blue protective shield with his backhand.
At this moment, a cold mechanical voice came from the radio: "Illegal intrusion detected, activation of level one blockade, all exits will be closed!"
The two rushed to the biometric door, but it was already closed.
