Chapter 1155: Rat

*Ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling*—

Piercing alarm sounds echoed in the laboratory. All corridors and rooms were filled with flashing red light.

Professor Ye, who was observing the experimental time, was stunned. The next second, the room fell into darkness, with only the ghostly green emergency exit signs emitting a faint light...

"What's going on?" Professor Ye asked, frowning.

"It's an enemy attack!" The assistant arranged by the supervisor reacted quite quickly. He immediately stuffed all the experimental data into a bag, his tone extremely serious. "Professor Ye, we must transfer immediately."

Professor Ye's gaze looked at the remaining lab mouse cages and the clock on the wall.

"No, I can't... The experimental results haven't been fully observed yet."

"Professor Ye! Those are just some lab mice injected with experimental samples. After we transfer, we can take blood samples again and repeat the experiment!"

Take samples again?

Hearing these four words, anger appeared on Professor Ye's face. He ignored the assistant's persuasion and pushed the wheelchair toward the cages...

Just as the two were talking, another lab mouse had died silently. Now only two lab mice remained in the cage, one lying motionless and one with its limbs in the air, looking like it wouldn't live much longer either.

Professor Ye stuffed both lab mice into one cage and held it in his arms. At this moment, the entire room began to shake and sway, all the tables and chairs were displaced and tilted, knocking Professor Ye to the ground!

"Professor Ye?!"

Seeing this, the assistant rushed forward to move the debris.

The wheelchair had already been twisted and deformed. An aged figure stumbled to the ground. Fortunately, Professor Ye had reacted in time and jumped out of the wheelchair, so he wasn't injured.

The assistant tried to carry Professor Ye on his back, but because he was already carrying a large amount of experimental data and Professor Ye was holding the cage, he couldn't walk normally after trying twice. He could only grit his teeth and say:

"Professor Ye, hold on a little longer, I'll go get you a spare wheelchair."

After saying this, he opened the door and rushed out.

*BOOM*—!!

Rolling smoke and dust poured into the corridor, and the earth shook violently.

The assistant who had just rushed into the corridor, along with several figures in protective suits who were moving equipment in the corridor, felt the world spinning. Their bodies slammed directly into the wall, and even the carts in their hands lost their center of gravity and flew out!

"What's going on?! An earthquake??"

"Cough, cough, cough... This shouldn't be in an earthquake zone."

"This laboratory is deep in the mountains, even a missile shouldn't be able to bomb it, how could..."

"Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like the mountain has collapsed?"

“……”

*THUD*—!!

Before everyone could react, the lights in the corridor suddenly went out. A black shadow gouged through the ceiling and fell heavily onto the corridor floor!

Countless mountain debris mixed with dust filled the dim corridor. Under the flashing red warning lights, a sturdy figure wearing a northern fur coat walked out slowly...

In the hands of this northern brute, he was also carrying a young man who had lost consciousness. The young man was wearing a special night-ops suit issued by the 749 Bureau, looking like a "White Hand" who had originally been ordered to guard around the laboratory.

"Finally gouged in..."

The brute threw the 749 Bureau "White Hand" on the ground like a chicken, and while loosening his muscles, he swept his gaze over the people in front of him. "Hey, where is Chu Changqing?"

Several figures in protective suits were already scared silly by this scene, trembling and unable to say a word. After looking at each other, they turned and ran toward the other side of the corridor!

Seeing this, the brute clicked his tongue impatiently. A stone hammer landed lightly in his palm, and he smashed it toward the ground with force!

*THUD*—!!

The stone hammer struck the earth, and the surface of the dim corridor suddenly revealed lava-like scorching spiderweb patterns, as if someone were using intense fire to smelt this passage. The next moment, three or four intersecting passages around it seemed to come alive, suddenly shrinking and twisting!

The figures in protective suits who had just run a few steps felt their eyes blur. The original corridor shrank directly into a dead end where lava flowed. The splashing sparks easily melted through their protective suits and corroded their bodies.

Several miserable screams sounded at the same time. They curled up on the ground in pain, rolling constantly. A moment later, several people fainted on the spot.

"I'll ask one more time."

The brute in the fur coat stepped on the only conscious assistant, his voice extremely low. "Chu Changqing... where is he?"

"In... in the laboratory in the southeast corner..." The assistant, whose facial features were twisted by the heat, answered in pain, and then fainted.

The brute in the fur coat snorted coldly, carrying the stone hammer and walking forward slowly. He reopened the blocked passage casually. The lava patterns squirmed like breathing with his footsteps, extending all the way to the southeast corner...

He tapped the miniature communicator in his ear lightly.

"Your Majesty, I've found Chu Changqing's location... He's in the southeast corner of the laboratory."

"You're too slow, Fu Kun." A woman's voice came from the earpiece. "Han Xiang's students have already locked onto the location a step ahead, we're almost there."

"Tch..."

The brute in the fur coat frowned, cut off the communication directly, and walked toward the other side of the laboratory with some displeasure. "Troublesome woman..."

After the figure of the brute in the fur coat gradually moved away, the corridor, which looked like a karst cave, fell into dead silence again.

Professor Ye carried the cage and walked out with difficulty, leaning on the twisted door frame...

"Changqing..."

Electric sparks flashed in the messy corridor.

Professor Ye looked at the laboratory with worry, his peripheral vision suddenly catching something, and he looked down into his arms...

The lab mouse that had been motionless in the cage was soaked in blood flowing from its nose and eyes at some point and had lost its breath. But the lab mouse that had been lying with its limbs in the air and looking like it was dead had actually survived strangely.

Not only that, its body size was a circle larger than before. Between its snow-white fur, a few strands of green silk were faintly dyed. It flipped its body gently and crawled back into the cage, full of vitality and energy.

Professor Ye was stunned. He brought the cage close to his eyes in surprise, observing the lab mouse that had survived carefully...

Whether it was his imagination or not, the eyes of this lab mouse seemed to possess wisdom, staring at Professor Ye through the cage. The souls of human and mouse seemed to coexist in the same body.

"This is..." Professor Ye muttered to himself.

……

"What on earth happened??"

The red warning lights flashed on and off. Behind the dim one-way mirror, the supervisor's brows were locked tight.

"Supervisor, all the guard posts outside can no longer be contacted... It should be that someone has attacked the laboratory." A figure in a white coat stood beside the supervisor and said in a deep voice.

"Could it be Lu Xun and the others?" The supervisor thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Impossible, they shouldn't have such strong ability right now... I transferred five 'White Hands' from the Bureau, they shouldn't be able to break in..."
