Chapter 33 An Unsettling Conspiracy

Lin Xiao and Hu Long followed the group that called themselves survivors.

We prepared to head towards Dr. Hua's location at Research Institute No. 7.

However, not everyone left the control room.

Half of the staff stayed behind, while the other half went out to work.

Be careful.

Lin Xiao and Hu Long walked at the back, and he spoke softly in the lowest voice.

Hu Long looked around at the darkness, gripping his pistol tightly, and said with some emotion, "Thank you, I'll be careful."

This guy is such a nice person.

They still care about me.

Lin Xiao: "..."

It's more interesting to talk to smart people, buddy... haven't you noticed?

Are there any loopholes or omissions in what that group of people are saying?

Things here are not that simple.

It's always better to be careful.

They moved quickly, clearly not their first attempt; each person was well-trained, their weapons all aimed at any potential danger.

Furthermore, with the distribution of red dots on the surveillance cameras, they can completely avoid danger as much as possible.

Lin Xiao also discovered numerous signs of battle, bullet holes, and various sprays of blood.

This aligns with their description: many teams entered, only to perish along the way.

They are carefully checking along the passageway.

"Because Research Institute No. 7 is an extremely secretive organization, every researcher has a positioning chip inside their body. This instrument can only locate based on the chip."

The bearded man was also around Lin Xiao and his companion at that moment. He seemed to have noticed Lin Xiao's doubts and was explaining things to him.

"I understand." Lin Xiao had some doubts, but the other party's explanation relieved them considerably.

"Of course, there are also some faulty chips that we can't locate." The stubble-faced man suddenly stretched out his hand: "Watch out."

"I heard a noise."

His face was solemn.

"These monsters don't rely on sight, but on scent and smell. The more people there are, the easier it is to be surrounded and attacked. So the optimal number of people in a team is six to nine. If there are more or fewer than this number, the progress in Research Institute No. 7 will be affected."

Lin Xiao's gaze sharpened slightly.

Is this supported by big data?

How many teams have passed through here...? The stubble-faced man resolved many of his doubts, making him lower some of his guard.

And at this time.

There seemed to be some faint movement in the darkness. Lin Xiao's ears twitched, but he hadn't had a chance to speak yet.

"Be careful!"

At this moment, the bearded man reached out and pushed Hu Long to the side!

next moment!

A monster suddenly pounced from around the corner!

"Fire! Fire!"

Without hesitation, the others around roared! A barrage of bullets spurted from the weapons.

The deafening gunshots instantly shattered the silence of the passage!

The monster resembled a skinned giant lizard, with bulging muscles covered in slime, and its fangs gleaming coldly in the dim light.

The bullets struck its body with dull thuds, splattering dark green fluid and bits of flesh. The monster let out a shrill, ear-piercing scream, twisting and thrashing wildly under the dense barrage of fire.

Hu Long also raised his gun and fired without hesitation. The recoil of Hu Long's pistol made his arm go numb, but he gritted his teeth and fired the bullets.

Finally, under the combined fire of several people, the monster's massive body suddenly stiffened, crashed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving!

A strong, pungent smell of fish and gunpowder instantly filled the air, making people nauseous.

"Resolved!"

One of the team members' guns was still emitting blue smoke.

However, the stubble-faced man showed no sign of relaxation; instead, his expression grew even more serious: "The commotion is too great! Let's go!"

"Everyone, run to the central disinfection room on level B3 as fast as you can! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

The team immediately charged forward like an arrow released from a bow.

As Lin Xiao ran, he subconsciously glanced at the screen of the device displaying a red dot in the stubble-faced man's hand.

This glance made his heart sink – on the screen, the dense red dots that were originally scattered everywhere were now converging on their team's location at high speed, just like iron filings attracted by a magnet.

The crowd fled for their lives, their footsteps, panting, and the clanging of heavy equipment echoing through the narrow passage.

Meanwhile, mutated entities lurking in the shadows are also making their move!

"ah--!"

A piercing scream came from the rear of the column.

One of the last team members was grabbed by the monster and was about to be dragged into the ventilation shaft next to him!

At that moment, Lin Xiao made his move, unleashing astonishing power with his long sword!

He managed to cleave the monster back with a single strike!

"Go!" He grabbed the team member with one hand!

This scene stunned everyone present!

So strong!

We are still some distance from B3.

And so they continued their rapid progress.

An unusual movement in the corner—a hemispherical surveillance camera, its lens rotating steadily in a clearly non-mechanical scanning trajectory, with a scrutinizing intent, its cold glass mirror precisely aimed at the fleeing group.

However, Lin Xiao and Hu Long were completely unaware of this.

.....

And below the stairwell passage we just passed.

I don't know when, but three doors appeared on the left, right, and front...

The door on the right, which had been closed all along, was now open.

Several figures stepped out.

Meanwhile, the mutants outside also heard the commotion and roared at the group, just as they were about to approach.

A red light suddenly flashed inside its forehead, followed by a low-frequency electromagnetic sound.

Surprisingly, it didn't pounce on the three of them, but instead obediently retreated slowly.

These people did not show any surprise at this.

Instead, he calmly walked into the control room on the left that he had just been in.

However, the control room on the left was completely different from what it had been before.

The control room functional areas that the stubble-faced man had just described as closed or scrapped were now all lit up.

All the injured and dejected personnel were operating the control panel with extreme professionalism and skill at this very moment.

The screen that was originally unable to start.

But it was tracking the people who were desperately trying to escape in real time.

The group of people who had just come out from the right-hand door were dressed in uniforms and stared coldly at Hu Long and Lin Xiao on the screen.

The person in the control room couldn't help but speak up:

"Sir, are we being too cautious?"

"This time, the invaders are not only few in number... but one of them has already been surrounded and killed by the mutants."

The man addressed as "Commander" had ugly scars on his face and exuded a ghostly, cold aura.

"We cannot let our guard down. These invaders from other worlds... have far more tricks up their sleeves than you imagine."

"And..." His gaze was fixed on Lin Xiao.

"This person is very strong."

That last strike was more terrifying than a monster!

"He was still on guard against us."

"But that's not important, proceed as planned."

"...Use everything we can, after all, only the Descendants can access the Queen, we must obtain...it! And Dr. Hua behind it!"

The scarred man had a terrifying gaze.

The tone was cold and cruel!
