I was mentally ill and was selected to participate in the strange rules talk

At the same time, Jiang Xiao and his team had already embarked on a journey to the laboratory.

The rescue captain guided the way with a hint of guilt.

The group's hearts were heavy, but also full of determination.

During the journey, Jiang Xiao's thoughts were spinning rapidly.

He tried to find connections among these fragmented information and find the clue that could solve all the mysteries.

Finally, after several hours of trekking,

They arrived at the place known as the secret laboratory.

It was hidden in a crack in a small-looking boulder on the outskirts, and was surrounded by barren weeds and the like.

At first glance it seems normal, with almost no sign that anyone has entered.

The rescue captain noticed the doubts and distrust on everyone's faces and said softly.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. This is indeed the entrance to the laboratory, but for the sake of confidentiality, everything is made more hidden."

After saying that, he reached out and pressed a button on his chest.

With a low sound of mechanical rotation, the seemingly solid boulder slowly turned over, revealing a passage as high as a person.

The passage is reinforced with reinforced concrete around it, making it appear extremely solid, in sharp contrast to the surrounding desolate environment.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement. They couldn't help but look at the rescue captain with admiration, and their curiosity about this mysterious laboratory became more and more intense.

On both sides of the passage, two uniformed guards suddenly appeared.

The weapons in their hands were clenched, and the expressions on their faces were serious.

But when their eyes fell on the rescue captain and saw him leading a group of outsiders, their expressions instantly turned frightened.

"Captain, why did you bring outsiders here?"

one guard asked stammering, panic evident in his voice.

The rescue captain replied expressionlessly.

"The situation is special. They are here to help. Just let them go."

The guards looked at each other, obviously embarrassed, but under the firm gaze of the rescue team leader, they finally stepped aside to get out of the way.

"Yo? Didn't you see that you, a [little clerk], actually have such great power, just let me go?"

Faced with Shi Shi's joke, the rescue team leader sneered and said that he was still a bit thin-faced in the base.

Everyone else knows this.

If he didn't have a higher status, he would definitely not have access to things like waste water.

Jiang Xiao and others followed the rescue captain's footsteps, passed through the passage, and entered the laboratory.

The scene inside is shocking:

The light was dim, and various instruments and pipelines were intricately distributed around it. In the center was a huge tank with some objects emitting blue light soaked in it.

said the rescue captain, pointing to the sink.

"Those are the strange creatures we found in the depths of the ocean. Their death may be the cause of this disaster."

Jiang Xiao and others approached the sink and saw the objects in different shapes.

Some are like buffaloes, some are like giant jellyfish, and some are more like creatures that don't belong to this world.

The only thing they have in common is that they all have purple lines on their bodies, which look both beautiful and dangerous.

"Are these bones?"

Jiang Xiao asked doubtfully.

Everyone also stared at the rescue captain with curiosity. Although these creatures seemed to be dead, they were full of flesh and blood. No matter how they thought about it, the word "skeleton" had nothing to do with it, right?

The rescue captain frowned, obviously confused by the scene in front of him.

He shook his head, his eyes sweeping over the creatures full of strange patterns, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"I...I don't know what's going on. The last time I came here, there were indeed only skeletons in this tank, and they were all samples that had been studied for a long time."

He turned to Jiang Xiao and the others, with a hint of nervousness and confusion in his eyes.

"This is the first time I have seen these plump creatures. Maybe...maybe they are fresh samples fished out from the depths of the ocean without my knowledge."

Jiang Xiao frowned. He walked closer to the sink and carefully observed these strange creatures.

Their bodies float quietly in the water, as if they are sleeping, but those purple lines seem to hint at some ominous atmosphere.

"Fresh sample?"

Jiang Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"Then should we contact the researchers responsible for this part? They should know more about the situation."

The rescue captain nodded and took out his communicator to try to contact other members of the base.

However, when he pressed the button on the communicator, there was no response, only silence and silence.

"Is there something wrong with the communicator?"

The old man beside her frowned. She tried to use her own device to communicate, but she was also unable to send a signal.

"Why is the signal here interfered with?"

There was a hint of anxiety in the rescue captain's voice.

"Something seems to be wrong. We need to find the manual signal control room as soon as possible to see if we can solve this problem."

Jiang Xiao nodded, realizing that the situation might be more serious than imagined.

He signaled everyone to stay vigilant, and then followed the rescue team leader deeper into the laboratory.

They walked through narrow corridors, each step feeling extremely heavy.

The surrounding walls are covered with dense pipelines, and the occasional mechanical roar makes people shudder.

Finally, they came to a room that looked like a control center.

Various data and images were displayed on the screens in the room, but one image on one screen was particularly eye-catching.

It was a huge seafloor crack, and something seemed to be moving slowly in the crack, and those purple lines shone strangely on the screen.

The rescue captain stepped forward, operating the console with trembling fingers, trying to restore communications.

Jiang Xiao and others watched the pictures on the screen nervously, wondering in their hearts what kind of creatures these were and how they were related to this disaster...

Just as they were concentrating, a sudden vibration broke the silence of the laboratory, and the entire space seemed to be shaking.

"What happened?" someone exclaimed.

The rescue captain hurriedly raised his head from the console, his face pale.

"No, it looks like the situation outside has changed. This is the sound of the weapons station operating. We have to retreat immediately!"

Weapons platform?

Jiang Xiao sneered, that's pretty much it.

No wonder the group of them entered such a strict base so easily.

No wonder I haven't seen a single living person since I came in.

It makes sense now.

It must have been the two gatekeepers outside called Karami who contacted the staff inside the laboratory.

I guess they were exposed to the camera from the beginning, right?

Looking at the rescue team leader who looked as panicked as everyone else, Jiang Xiao felt that Shi Shi had been too gentle just now.
