With this thing, finding everyone later won't be a problem!
"Let's go in."
As Xia Wei Liang finished speaking, she was about to lead the way inside.
"Wait up."
Lin Zhuo Nan grabbed her, absolutely refusing to let her go first. "You follow behind, I'll take the lead."
Xia Wei Liang blinked at him, and for a moment, her aura felt like she was two meters eighty!
She followed behind and whispered to Shang Rong Rong, "Sister Rong Rong, Nan Ge is actually quite good, why did you break up with him?"
Shang Rong Rong glanced at the person in front and asked, "How are you sure it was me who broke up with him?"
"Isn't it obvious! He's so worried about you, his eyes haven't left you."
Shang Rong Rong was silent for a moment and said, "The divorce was decided long ago, I'm just fulfilling our agreement."
Xia Wei Liang understood. This was the kind of situation where you enjoy tormenting your wife and then burn everything down trying to win her back!
The group walked into the factory, but after searching, they didn't see a single soul. Moreover, the interior was just an ordinary dilapidated workshop, not at all like a place where experiments could be conducted!
"So... there's a secret passage?"
Xia Wei Liang simply stopped doing anything and sat on the ground, cross-legged, trying to think of something.
Lin Zhuo Nan looked at her curiously. "Are you trying to cast a spell or set up a formation?"
Xia Wei Liang narrowed her eyes and said mysteriously, "Brainstorming."
He nodded. "Alright, you brainstorm by yourself first, we'll keep searching."
Xia Wei Liang furrowed her brows, thinking. How did that news report put it?
Abandoned factory, laboratory, Liu Family Village, underground...
Underground!!
She suddenly stood up and grabbed Han Jian Yue. "There's a basement here, right?"
"How did you kno—"
Realizing he had slipped up, Han Jian Yue wished he could slap himself.
"Ha, so you were deliberately pretending not to know the way!" Xia Wei Liang didn't bother with any further trouble and directly handed him over to Lin Zhuo Nan. "Nan Ge, bring out the torture."
"Heh heh, leave it to me."
Lin Zhuo Nan had been waiting for this opportunity!
"Let me do it." Shang Rong Rong drew the nine-section whip from her waist. "I've been practicing this thing, but unfortunately, I've been lacking a live target."
Lin Zhuo Nan smiled. "Alright, then give him this chance."
"I know the way!"
Han Jian Yue's shout was so loud it hurt Xia Wei Liang's eardrums. "If you know, you know, why are you yelling?"
"It's over there..."
He raised his hand and pointed to an inconspicuous small gatehouse, which looked more like a storage room.
Han Jian Yue was basically whipped over by the nine-section whip. He staggered to the door and pulled open a movable stone slab on the adjacent wall, revealing a modern identification system inside.
Xia Wei Liang: "..."
Well, it really was a retina scanner.
Soon, the door opened.
To prevent him from escaping, Shang Rong Rong's whip remained wrapped around his waist.
After the door opened, they discovered it was truly a hidden world inside!
The group observed and walked in. A long corridor extended downwards, the walls on all sides were made of white metal, and the floor was covered with carpet, making absolutely no sound when stepped on.
"It's like a movie!" Shen Xia Shu said.
Han Jian Yue scoffed at his uncultured appearance.
After descending about two floors underground, they encountered another door. This time, without anyone prompting him, Han Jian Yue came forward himself. Using the same method, he found the fingerprint scanner and placed his thumb on it. The door opened again.
And so it went, passing through several checkpoints before they finally entered the Tong Zhou Research Institute.
Lin Zhuo Nan took out the radiation detector, but it surprisingly malfunctioned!
Not only that, but the compass, mobile phones, and electronic watches all failed as well.
"Wei Liang Jie, is this a supernatural event? I'm a bit scared." Shen Xia Shu had been hiding behind them all along, and everything before him was really pushing the limits of his understanding and acceptance.
"It's probably scarier than that."
Xia Wei Liang could no longer smile either, and quickly armed herself.
What she didn't say was that as soon as she arrived at this place, she felt uncomfortable, lightheaded, and her whole body felt off. Her heart was pounding uncontrollably.
The others naturally realized the danger here and also put on all their equipment.
"Heh heh, you only realize you're scared now?"
Behind the group, Han Jian Yue sneered, making sarcastic remarks. "Weren't you quite brave earlier! You even wanted to beat me up. Now why has everyone become a coward?"
Xia Wei Liang turned and glared at him. "So, are you looking to get beaten up now?"
She took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to attack. "Come on, I'll grant your wish."
"Heh heh, I advise you to think twice before acting." Han Jian Yue walked over lazily, looking around. "Look where we are. This is a confined space. Even if something happens here, who will find you?"
He sneered, his gaze at her filled with amusement.
Xia Wei Liang stared at him blankly, always feeling that something was off about this guy.
Lin Zhuo Nan grabbed him by the collar. "You've been to this place before, and you know how to leave! Right!"
"Take your hands off, be polite." He pushed Lin Zhuo Nan's hand away. "Unless you want to be stuck here forever, you should show some attitude when you ask for something."
Shang Rong Rong walked over then. "Alright, we'll ask you."
Her ability to bend and extend made Xia Wei Liang want to give her a thumbs-up.
Why is it that some people, even when begging, are so condescending, as if they are bestowing a reward upon the other party!
"Is this how you ask for something..."
Before he could finish even a sentence of his scolding, his face was met with a solid punch.
"Who the hell are you talking to with that attitude?"
Lin Zhuo Nan hated this bastard to the core. Hearing him dare to order and humiliate Shang Rong Rong like that almost made him explode with anger!
Han Jian Yue also narrowed his eyes, tilted his head, and puffed out his chest. "What, you want to torture me? Come on, come on, don't leave anyone out!"
Seeing this, Shen Xia Shu turned to look at everyone for help. "I really want to punch him~"
