"Jintian, did you hear that just now?"
Xiang Jintian shook his head, he hadn't heard anything.
Xu Qian pulled him and lightly stepped on a few floor tiles under their feet, saying softly, "I heard the sound of a table being moved here just now."
Xiang Jintian squatted down and touched the tiles. There were no gaps around them.
"The entrance isn't here, let's look elsewhere."
Xu Qian frowned, "But we've searched everywhere."
Xiang Jintian's eyes were gentle. He lowered his head and lightly pecked her cheek.
Xu Qian shot him a look and whispered, "You're dirty!"
After all, she was wearing a mask.
Xiang Jintian chuckled, "Qianqian, don't get annoyed, let's take our time."
Xu Qian lowered her eyelids and said faintly, "I'm not annoyed."
Xiang Jintian shook his head without saying anything. In reality, she was annoyed, just not expressing it.
She was a mature and steady person, but she also had a childish side, which rarely appeared.
It needed him to discover.
Xu Qian opened the oven. She had prepared herself mentally for a foul smell.
To her surprise, it was clean inside with no roasted chicken. The space was exceptionally large.
A glint of light flashed in her eyes. She pulled out the stainless steel rack and crawled inside.
She touched the innermost panel. It was soft and hard, soft and hard. She gently pushed that panel to the side. To her surprise, it moved!
A faint white light shone on her face.
Xu Qian squinted her eyes slightly. Below, several staff members in lab coats were walking back and forth.
This was likely not a formal entrance, as there were no stairs.
The oven was about 3 meters above the ground. One could jump directly down or use a ladder to climb up. It was probably an escape route specially built by the laboratory.
Xu Qian quietly closed the door and turned back to discuss with Xiang Jintian.
Xiang Jintian's eyes darkened upon hearing this, and he went to take a look.
"There are too many people inside, it's not easy to handle."
Xu Qian had already checked the map. There were about fifty people, not many.
"Around fifty to sixty people. Killing them isn't a problem. I'm worried about the things they're researching."
Poisonous gas, mutated beasts, all sorts of bizarre things were everywhere. They still couldn't act rashly, and this location was too conspicuous. Jumping down would definitely get them discovered.
As they were considering whether to wait until early morning to go down, there was a sudden "click."
The two exchanged a look and quickly hid under the table.
"Crack, crack, crack!" Several panels fell from the ceiling, and then five people jumped down from above.
One person stepped on a zombie on the ground and almost fell.
He wobbled several times before regaining his balance.
Xu Qian steadied her breathing and narrowed her eyes slightly.
The man couldn't help but curse him.
"ATong! Can you be more steady?"
A wronged male voice replied, "How was I supposed to know there were so many corpses on the ground!"
The five people frowned. How had all the zombies in the shop been cleared out?
Someone more observant said, "Could it be that the people who destroyed the base have arrived? And they still can't find the entrance?"
Everyone reacted.
ATong chuckled, "Our entrance is so hard to find, they definitely won't find it!"
Xu Qian's lips curled into a cold smile, and she replied chillingly, "Is that so?"
The five men immediately drew their guns, their faces grim.
"Who is it?"
Xu Qian's body moved slightly. Suddenly, a silver flash, and blood splattered.
Three heads rolled to the ground.
They hadn't even had time to react.
The remaining two, terrified, turned to run, only to have their throats slit by Xiang Jintian's saber.
The two worked with perfect coordination, eliminating the five men in a few swift moves.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes and carefully observed these individuals.
They were wearing black combat suits and were likely part of the base's patrol team.
The top was a double layer; they could blend in and scout first.
After a brief discussion, the two decided to put on their black combat suits.
They put on their masks, and they looked indistinguishable from the patrol team.
Xu Qian's mind flickered, and a ladder appeared before her.
The two climbed up. Inside, the space was very small, only allowing one to walk in a hunched posture.
