Xing Conglian walked by way of the darkish underground pipeline. At the moment, he didn’t know that at a sure second, Lin Chen and he have been solely separated by a wall.
As if he have been conscious of one thing, he stopped and raised his flashlight to light up the passage in entrance of him. The mining manufacturing unit constructed by the British wasn’t so troublesome to traverse. Many of the areas have maintained their look from the unique blueprint, apart from some creatures that weren’t throughout the scope of the plan.
Within the damp and darkish deserted pipeline, a three-colored spearhead viper nestled in entrance of it.
Wang Chao was so frightened that he virtually screamed.
Xing Conglian’s hand was caught to the wall of the cement pipe, touching a greasy moss. He seemed above his head and all of the sudden felt palpitations. A chill started to permeate his whole physique from his chest, and a layer of goosebumps quickly appeared on his arms.
He paused for some time, and Kang An squeezed in entrance of him and requested, “Boss, ought to I am going?”
Xing Conglian ignored him. He recovered, drew out his dagger, and took a half step ahead. He stepped on the tail of the snake with one foot and pinched the slippery snake’s physique along with his different hand. The knife fell and blood spattered, then they continued to maneuver ahead.
……
Within the cellar of the mine.
When Lin Chen’s consciousness was about to blur, he vaguely felt that somebody was taking a look at him.
At the moment, he was resting on Duan Yang’s lap. Duan Yang had already fallen asleep. His respiration was fast as numerous chaotic photographs crammed his head. Many of the photographs have been associated to Xing Conglian, as his consciousness now not had the power to restrain his unconscious.
There was a sound of respiration round that didn’t belong to him or Duan Yang. He might solely open his eyes barely. Via the skinny, dim gentle, he noticed somebody standing in entrance of the iron cage and observing them.
He wakened immediately.
The particular person outdoors the cage was sporting a protracted gown, and solely after he seemed intently did he understand it was a white coat, however the uniform was too lengthy, because it went all the best way all the way down to the ankles. The particular person wrapped within the gown was too skinny, making him seem like a toddler who had stolen the garments of an grownup.
Lin Chen rubbed his brow and moved his eyes with problem to the face of the customer. At first look, he merely needed to curse. The opposite occasion was sporting a pure white masks on his face, and there have been two drops of vibrant crimson blood that resembled tears falling from the attention socket, making him seem like some type of ghost.
In all probability as a result of he moved an excessive amount of, Duan Yang additionally wakened. The second he noticed the determine outdoors the cage, the younger man screamed, “Ah, what the hell?!”
Duan Yang’s voice appeared to awaken the sleeping beasts underground. All of a sudden, many cages round them roared, and the iron cages shook, making loud clanging sounds.
“Shh.”
The masked man moved his index finger nearer to his lips. What got here from behind the masks was a pure digital sound, with an inorganic coldness but in addition a way of lightness that mocked all the pieces.
Lin Chen sat up straight. He felt that Dana was a spot filled with madness. Though he was dressed like a ghost, the one in entrance of him was nonetheless human.
“What can I do for you?” he requested.
After he completed talking, he felt that it was silly. This wasn’t China. Talking Chinese language to the opposite occasion was equal to him speaking to a duck.
However all of the sudden, he actually heard the long-lost, pure Chinese language. “I’ve been ready for you for a very long time. Come… Include me…”
The cell opened, and militants guarding the cellar pulled them out of the iron cage and walked out.
……
From the sewer to the designated location, they solely traveled for about quarter-hour.
Very faint gentle poured down from the drain, and there was a rotten odor within the air that was totally different from that of underground water pipes.
They have been blocked by iron fences. Kang An took out instruments and needed to take away the fence. Xing Conglian pushed the person behind him and kicked away the rusty railing in entrance of him with one foot.
The iron railing flew out and slammed to the bottom, inflicting mud to kick up. Then they proceeded to crawl out of the pipe.
After a loud noise, there have been working sounds on the ground, as if somebody had heard motion and rushed down.
The ground was shaking continuous. Making the most of the hole earlier than an encounter, Xing Conglian didn’t select to take out his gun. As an alternative, he took out a cigarette case from his moist, waterproof pocket and lit it.
The sound of dense footsteps got here from across the nook and have been approaching rapidly. When it approached the door, a black barrel from a gun went by way of the door first.
After monitoring the Gaomeng folks for an entire week, they lastly noticed a bewildered rainforest warrior.
Wang Chao was holding his laptop computer to cowl his chest and stated to the Gaomeng man who was holding a gun in entrance of him, “Ah… Good afternoon!”
Xing Conglian took a puff of his cigarette, shook the ash, and stated in Gaomengnese, “Take me to see your chief.”
……
Lin Chen’s footsteps have been delicate, however he needed to faux that he wasn’t in a horrible state.
With one hand on Duan Yang’s shoulder, he examined the scene in entrance of him.
To be sincere, if he hadn’t been fairly so certain that he was kidnapped deep into the Dana Rainforest, he would have thought he was visiting some type of nationwide laboratory.
There was solely white in entrance of him, and beneath the incandescent lights was an area in regards to the measurement of two basketball courts. Many individuals in white lab coats have been busy inside the automated door. Nobody would have thought that within the depths of the dilapidated and collapsed deserted mine there can be such a complicated laboratory.
There was a bizarre odor of plastic within the air.
The workers of the laboratory handed over a full set of dust-proof fits. Lin Chen’s eyes stored staring on the ghostly masked man. The opposite occasion rotated and checked out them by way of the door, as if he have been smiling at them.
He and Duan Yang have been pressured to cease on the door and placed on gentle blue mud proof clothes. The second he placed on the masks, the blocked respiration made him really feel as if his complete physique was burning.
“Marketing consultant Lin, the place is that this?”
Solely then did Duan Yang get better from shock, as he requested tremblingly.
“A laboratory.”
“I do know it’s a laboratory, however the place is there such an enormous lab right here? Who’s funding this?”
The sliding door opened. The workers within the laboratory have been clearly of excessive caliber. They simply buried their heads of their work with out even taking a look at them.
“You’re asking me, so who ought to I ask?” Lin Chen coughed lowly as he gave a rhetorical reply.
“I… Then what are they doing with us?” After Duan Yang completed his sentence, he hurriedly coated his mouth. “I received’t ask. I received’t ask.”
Whereas speaking, they handed an experimental desk with some testers analyzing some type of pure powder.
“Do you acknowledge these testing tools and what they’re used for?” Lin Chen grabbed Duan Yang’s arm and requested in a low voice.
“It appears they’re meteorological chromatography, mass spectrometers, distillation towers…”
“What sort of lab is that this in all probability?”
“This ought to be a chemistry lab.”
“Huh?” Lin Chen paused. Considering of the rationale why Duan Yang was kidnapped, he requested, “Drug analysis lab?”
“I don’t assume so. There aren’t any centrifuges right here…”
Lin Chen shook his head. He seemed on the centered gaze beside the lab desk and realized that his earlier cognition was truly somewhat problematic. This place that seemed like a laboratory may not truly be one. It ought to be a chemical manufacturing unit.
On condition that it was a chemical manufacturing unit deep within the three-way zone, Lin Chen didn’t want to have a look at the scientific names of these powders to guess what they have been.
He gently rubbed the ring along with his hand as he considered the middle-aged man who died unexpectedly and tragically as a stowaway, and the id of the opposite occasion regularly grew to become clear.
Nonetheless, he was in all probability confused. He felt that though issues have been regularly being revealed, it was too complicated.
……
Xing Conglian had seen many depressing scenes, so the corpse in entrance of him wasn’t so terrifying.
In a warehouse on the primary flooring of the manufacturing unit, there have been greater than a dozen corpses on the ground, most of which have been younger males whose our bodies had been mutilated. As a result of the rainforest local weather wasn’t conducive to storing corpses, a lot of them have been already coated with white maggots and had a foul odor.
Wang Chao coated his mouth and nostril in fright. He pressed his face tightly into his backpack. Xing Conglian seemed away after which seemed on the troopers, who have been pointing submachine weapons at them.
The opposite occasion seemed like he was going to kill them right here and add them to the corpse pile.
“Bo… Boss…”
Wang Chao’s voice was tinged with sobs. Xing Conglian seemed in the direction of the nook the place {the teenager} was pointing, solely to discover a younger, bare Gaomeng boy sleeping within the nook of the corpse pile.
Xing Conglian sighed inaudibly.
The bald-headed bar proprietor began to go loopy on the door of the warehouse. He howled and needed to hurry in like loopy, inflicting the troopers of the Gaomeng Tribe armed with firearms to nervously level their muzzles at them.
Kang An unlocked the security of his gun and stood on the entrance.
“How many individuals are there upstairs?” Xing Conglian requested, throwing down his cigarette butt and stamping it out.
He didn’t understand how he had offended these barbarians. Briefly, the opposite occasion grew to become angrier, and their darkish fingers tightened on the set off.
At this second, a weak voice got here from the top of the dilapidated hall within the distance. “Cease!”
Following the sound of footsteps, Xing Conglian seemed in that route and noticed an individual strolling slowly in opposition to the daylight.
……
After a brief stroll by way of the laboratory, Lin Chen and Duan Yang got here to the final workplace space.
The fashion of the workplace was fully totally different from the cleanliness of the laboratory. It was filled with every kind of rubbish. There was an previous tire on the desk, paper scraps have been all over the place, and a white magnetic board that was coated with black ink that scribbled out numerous complicated chemical formulation that, at Lin Chen’s stage, he couldn’t perceive.
Due to this fact, he might solely have a look at the masked man in entrance of him with extra focus. The 2 traces of blood tears on the opposite’s masks have been much more obvious beneath the incandescent gentle.
With a top of about 160 cm, a weight of 45 kg, and a shoe measurement of 6.5, he ought to be left-handed. Other than this, Lin Chen discovered he couldn’t see every other traits of the opposite occasion, together with gender.
He seemed on the handwriting on the whiteboard once more, then on the masked man, and couldn’t assist frowning barely.
“Let’s speak,” he stated.
“Hee hee.” A mechanical chilly snicker got here from behind the masks. The person turned his head and pushed open the again door of the workplace.
Duan Yang couldn’t assist screaming once more and grabbed Lin Chen’s hand vigorously.
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and seemed into the dim area. Behind the door have been numerous small iron cages that he couldn’t see the top from a look.
Contained in the cages have been taupe wild monkeys. These monkeys had pink faces. When he was in faculty, Lin Chen had specifically studied this sort of monkey. Their scientific title was rhesus macaque, they usually have been an necessary species utilized in scientific experiments in numerous international locations all over the world. A single rhesus monkey prices greater than 10,000 yuan within the worldwide market, so the worth of almost 100 experimental monkeys on this lab alone was price hundreds of thousands. In all probability solely in locations just like the Dana Rainforest might there be such an unscrupulous provide of monkeys.
The skinny, masked man stopped in entrance of a cage.
The sunshine shone on his pale masks. “Supplying you with a selection. Do one thing for me or be chopped into feed and fed to my infants.”
