Since Da Xiong had already said so, the others had no objections.
The Doomsday Fortress slowly drove to the entrance of the laboratory.
It had to be said that this laboratory was very successfully disguised.
If they hadn't known some information beforehand, standing at the factory entrance now, they wouldn't have imagined that a laboratory was hidden within!
"Everyone, be quick, park the cars behind, so that if an accident occurs, we can escape immediately," Da Xiong instructed.
Everyone disembarked from the vehicles, fully armed.
Then, they entered through the factory entrance in single file.
This factory appeared to be producing paper towels on the surface.
So, as they walked in, various raw materials were piled on the ground, looking very chaotic.
The machines were all rusted, showing signs of long-term neglect.
The group passed through and moved cautiously inside.
Although they didn't know the layout of the laboratory, they could guess from the fire exit signs on the walls.
After passing through the production area at the front, they arrived at a steel door.
The steel door was tightly shut, and there was a combination lock beside it.
It seemed that a password had to be entered to proceed!
For ordinary people, this would be the point where they would have to give up.
However, they were all martial artists.
With brute force, they could break the combination lock, and the door would open on its own.
As they went through, they had basically broken down any locked doors they encountered with force.
After all, this was an abandoned laboratory, so even if they hadn't used force, these steel doors would have been useless!
Upon entering,
The group could feel that the air pressure inside was significantly lower than outside.
Da Xiong led the way, at the front.
The others remained vigilant of their surroundings.
"Why are there so many surveillance cameras here?" someone asked in confusion.
Da Xiong glanced around and immediately understood.
These surveillance cameras must have been installed by the Dragon Group.
After all, they were still operational after so long, and it's unlikely someone would come here out of boredom to maintain them.
Da Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as someone had entered this laboratory, it meant the situation was not as dangerous as he had imagined!
However, soon enough,
Da Xiong realized he had relaxed too early.
Because the further they went, the fewer surveillance cameras there were.
By the time the group reached the center, there were no signs of any surveillance cameras.
This could only mean one of two things.
Either the Dragon Group members had deliberately hidden the cameras to prevent them, who were undergoing training, from discovering them and thus consciously performing actions that would earn them points.
Or, the Dragon Group members had also not entered!
Da Xiong naturally believed it was the latter.
If the Dragon Group members had intended to hide the cameras, they wouldn't have exposed them to everyone at the beginning.
Da Xiong stopped, took a deep breath, and said into the walkie-talkie, "Hold on for now. Search these few rooms and proceed only after confirming they are safe!"
The team members were very obedient.
Because they could see the danger in their current situation on Da Xiong's face.
No one dared to disobey Da Xiong's orders.
They all diligently went to search the rooms.
Da Xiong chose the nearest room, pulled Ouyang Feng along, and walked inside.
This was a room in the laboratory used for injecting patients.
There was a hospital bed inside, with an IV stand beside it.
There was also a small trolley filled with empty bottles and jars that had already been used.
Picking up these small bottles, they were inscribed with obscure characters. From the names alone, it was impossible to discern the effects of these medications.
After searching the room, Da Xiong found no useful clues.
Just as he was about to turn and leave,
Suddenly!
*Clang—*
A sound echoed.
Da Xiong's head whipped around, but he saw nothing.
Da Xiong immediately looked at Ouyang Feng and asked, "Did you hit something?"
Ouyang Feng was also startled by the sound. When Da Xiong asked, Ouyang Feng knew that Da Xiong had misunderstood him.
He smiled wryly, raising his hands to show his innocence, "I didn't touch anything."
Since neither of them had touched anything, where did the sound come from?
Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng exchanged a glance and both looked towards the medicine cabinet nearby.
Because this medicine cabinet was recessed into the wall,
neither of them had thought to search it earlier.
Now, after hearing the noise, Da Xiong sensed something unusual.
He immediately walked over.
First, he told Ouyang Feng to stand guard nearby, then Da Xiong slowly raised his hand, preparing to open the medicine cabinet.
Ouyang Feng's eyes flickered. He stood by, staring at the back of Da Xiong's head, lost in thought.
However, after a moment, a hint of struggle appeared in Ouyang Feng's eyes.
In the end, he made no move and simply obeyed Da Xiong's command, waiting by the side.
Da Xiong, oblivious to Ouyang Feng's unusual behavior, suddenly yanked open the medicine cabinet.
Immediately, Da Xiong trembled and took two steps back.
"Don't... don't kill me..."
He saw a very emaciated boy, wearing a patient's gown, with his hands raised.
His voice was very low, almost weak.
Both Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng were startled by the boy.
Because this boy was so thin he looked inhuman.
His face was almost bone and skin, and his raised hands were like chicken claws, with prominent joints.
It was deeply unsettling!
Da Xiong asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
The boy looked around blankly, clearly unaccustomed to the light. He replied, "Experiment subject."
Experiment subject...
Could it be a survivor from the Shadow Organization that was dismantled years ago, who hadn't been rescued in time?
Da Xiong's expression turned serious.
He actually wanted to take the boy with him.
But the boy's appearance was disturbing, and his presence in such a place...
Da Xiong couldn't help but become wary.
He gestured for the boy to squat in the corner and then, flanking him, stood guard on either side to prevent him from escaping.
"What experiment subject? Explain yourself!"
Da Xiong asked.
The boy blinked, "I am Experiment Subject Number 629."
Number 629... Surely he should have a name?
Da Xiong observed the boy carefully but found nothing.
At this moment, Ouyang Feng, looking through a scattered booklet nearby, found what appeared to be the boy's information.
It detailed his blood type, the medications he had been injected with, and his reactions during the experiments.
According to the records in the booklet, the boy was around two years old when the experiments began.
And this boy, who was now seven or eight years old...
was likely an experiment subject who had hidden after the Shadow Organization was dismantled and was not discovered by the Dragon Group members.
Thus, he was an experiment subject who had survived in the laboratory!
