In the underground research lab, there were even fewer people. Several people walked towards him, greeting him as they passed.
Tang Si was extremely nervous, but he nodded nonchalantly.
He was also wearing a translator, but unfortunately, although he could understand what others said, he couldn't speak the local language.
According to the research institute map he had, Tang Si analyzed that Qing Muye should be in the room at the far east end of the fourth basement level.
Meng Jingwei had said that Old Tou Chen had mentioned using current technological means to copy Qing Muye's memories, then destroy them and implant a new chip.
The room at the east end was the memory extraction room.
"Hey, who are you?"
Suddenly, a tall, dark-skinned man pointed at Tang Si from behind and questioned him.
Tang Si heard the person calling him but dared not turn back, so he continued to walk forward.
Inside the research institute, the design was pure white and highly technological, almost identical to domestic research institutes.
Tang Si knew that high-level research institutes in China had the best security systems. Would this place be the same?
He mumbled to himself, feeling uneasy.
He was afraid the person behind him would trigger the alarm.
As expected, the person, seeing Tang Si ignore him, pointed at him again and shouted, "Stop! If you take another step forward, I'll shoot."
In the Hidden Clan, private possession of firearms was permitted.
Tang Si had no choice but to stop.
Otherwise, if the other party opened fire, it would alert everyone and ruin his plan to rescue someone.
The moment he turned around, Tang Si suddenly grabbed a tranquilizer gun and shot it towards the other person.
Who would have thought...
The man was extremely agile. He leaped up and dodged the tranquilizer dart.
Bang—
The man fired a shot. The sound was exceptionally loud, echoing and reverberating, alerting everyone.
Tang Si knew it was bad. He fired a few shots at the man and immediately turned to run.
Wuwuwu—
Someone activated the alarm. The alarms throughout the building were blaring, the sound piercing and irritating.
Behind him, people were chasing Tang Si, and their numbers were growing.
"Quick, catch him."
"Kill him."
"We absolutely cannot let him leave here."
"Hurry."
…
As everyone gathered, Tang Si ran forward frantically, "Damn it, why are there so many people?"
He cursed. As he passed the memory extraction room, he glanced inside. The corridor had transparent glass on both sides, allowing a clear view of everything inside each room.
Inside the rooms, there were no bound or restrained individuals, nor was there any sign of Qing Muye.
"What the hell? No one?"
Tang Si managed to evade his pursuers, but just as he leaned against the glass to get a better look, the people behind him caught up.
He fired a few shots at the group and, turning around, was about to round the corner to leave when he bumped directly into someone.
"Damn!"
Tang Si collided with the person, was bounced back, and landed on the ground, his backside hurting. "Motherf***er..."
He got up, raised his gun to shoot the person in front of him, and only then realized that the person wearing a white hospital gown was... "Second Brother, it's you? How did you..."
Qing Muye grabbed his hand and pulled him up from the ground. "What are you babbling about? If you don't want to die, hurry up and leave!"
"Oh, okay, okay."
Tang Si was overjoyed and fled with Qing Muye, asking as they ran, "How did you escape? How are you completely unharmed?"
"I wasn't injured, so how could anything be wrong with me!"
Qing Muye was indeed not injured, only poisoned.
The toxins had invaded his body, causing him to fall unconscious, but now that he was detoxified and had rested for a night, his condition had improved greatly.
He could only secretly feel fortunate that the potent poison administered by Old Tou Chen was similar to Paraquat, and thankfully, his body could recover quickly after detoxification.
However, his physical condition was still far from what it was before.
"Hoo~"
Tang Si let out a long sigh. "It's good that you're okay. Little Pepper was almost worried to death about you."
"Stop the nonsense. We need to get out of here alive!"
