"Hm, I'll go see Dr. Su to apply today."
The group quickly ducked behind a shelf.
Xu Qian couldn't help but wonder if Tang Zhiyuan conducted his experiments in the same manner, given how casually they spoke about experimenting on live humans.
The Yu Corporation's involvement in such zombie experiments must hide some unspeakable secret.
A tall and a short figure walked past.
Xu Qian flashed behind them and struck.
The two stiffened and immediately fell unconscious.
Meiyue Bai raised an eyebrow and lifted her pistol, thinking these people deserved to die.
She reached out and grabbed his gun.
"Tie them up first. I have questions for them, no rush."
The further Xu Qian went inside, the more shocked she became. There were oddly shaped human organs, as well as experimental subjects of animals and plants.
Could the mutated cats in the garage be their doing?
Passing by an office, she squinted at the piles of research data within and, with a thought, absorbed it all into her space.
The group reached the laboratory's door. The iron door had no keyhole, only a small camera and a fingerprint scanner.
Xu Qian frowned and said, "Cheng Liangqing, go grab someone."
This laboratory was strange. Why lock the front but not the back? Did they not worry about someone coming in from behind?
Soon, he dragged a staff member over and placed his finger on the scanner.
With a "ding," the iron door slowly slid open from left to right.
Sterilization mist sprayed down instantly, filling the air with haze.
The four walked into a vast office.
There was only a simple wooden desk and a single leather sofa, facing a large split-screen display.
The display showed live surveillance feeds of every street in G City's downtown. The office was empty.
Xu Qian's gaze deepened. What role did the Yu Corporation play in this apocalypse?
"Open the map."
Dense green dots on the map were concentrated outside.
Most of the people on the 20th floor were concentrated outside this office, about twenty-odd individuals.
If they opened this door directly, they couldn't avoid conflict with people on floors 19, 18, 17, and 16. Their numbers were too small for a direct confrontation; they had to blend in.
She whispered, "A Bai and I will go first. You two wake them up and interrogate them, ask them when they came here and why they're researching zombies. This Yu Corporation is very strange."
She paused and added, "We'll come out in 30 minutes to assess the situation. If it's bad, we'll go downstairs and wait."
Cheng Liangqing nodded in agreement.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qian squatted down, stripped off the staff member's clothes, and put them on.
"A Bai, you change too."
She had observed that both of them were lean, so wearing protective suits would make them indistinguishable if not examined closely.
Meiyue Bai looked disgusted.
"Stop dawdling."
Despite his reluctance, he had to put them on.
He dared not disobey Xi Xi's orders.
After changing, they clipped on their ID badges.
Xu Qian's was Zhu Hong.
Meiyue Bai's was Huang Wen Kai.
The two opened the door and walked out.
A woman in a black professional dress with meticulous makeup approached them.
"Professor Zhu, Professor Huang, are you hungry?"
Xu Qian nodded, indicating she was hungry.
"All right, please wait in the dining hall. I'll arrange for someone to send it over immediately."
"Okay."
Meiyue Bai next to her replied.
The woman relaxed. Professors Zhu and Huang, though quiet due to spending so much time in the lab, usually chatted a bit. Perhaps the poor results of their current experiment had put them in a bad mood.
Xu Qian scanned the office area. The office wasn't large, and there weren't too many people, all diligently working. She didn't see a dining area.
Meiyue Bai saw the indicator next to the elevator and quietly said, "The dining hall is on the 17th floor."
