Chapter 396: Chapter 262: Underwater Laboratory_2 It actually started moving.
Except its eyes turned from crimson to pitch black.
Lao San sneakily glanced at the train conductor on the command platform and then looked down with a sigh.
He initially wanted to see some excitement, but now, with the conductor stepping in, there’s no suspense left.
However, thinking that the conductor would personally lead the operation soon, Lao San felt a thrill inside.
Since the armed train got on track, the conductor hasn’t just led a mission, even the times he took action were visibly few; the fixed time for action is recharging weekly.
"Armed Corps, officers above the second lieutenant, except for Xiaoba and He Jie, follow my lead."
"Yes!"
Qu Hang, Yu Yue, and others answered in unison.
"Combat group..."
"Present!"
Hearing his name, Lao San, fully armed, immediately stood up, chest out, head high, looking even more spirited in his all-black new uniform.
Meeting Lao San’s expectant gaze, Su Huan smirked a little.
"Stay on the train."
"You stay in the front to watch for me and prevent accidents."
"The rest, follow me into the water."
Su Huan stated resolutely, leaving Lao San dumbfounded.
He hurriedly took a couple of steps, wanting to say something but was stopped by He Jie’s mischievous grin beside him.
"Don’t you know military orders are like mountains? Just watch over here honestly."
Dejected, Lao San sat back down, glowering at the screen, as if he could peer through it.
In just a few words, the situation on the screen reversed. The Second Priest commanded eight Tier One Water Ghost puppets, battling back and forth with the Third Priest and other Water Ghosts, with fresh blood spreading far away.
Various red and black eyes glinted under the faint light.
Dozens of figures silently bypassed the chaotic underwater battlefield, heading deeper.
Su Huan’s pair of deep blue eyes carefully searched below.
Li Xiuhua’s laboratory was located on the outskirts of Xiushui City, underground in a mountainous area. It used to be a very secluded military restricted zone, but as times advanced, people slowly settled nearby, and the military zone was converted into an electromagnetic laboratory.
If the apocalypse hadn’t come, in a few years, this laboratory might be relocated.
But even if unattended, ordinary people would definitely find it hard to locate such a place.
Luckily, Shu Wei had set a general scope, and Su Huan’s team hadn’t swum in circles much before some veterans in the team identified the laboratory entrance.
The fence formed by barbed wire was covered with barnacles and rust-colored deposits, with several crooked support stakes alongside. The stakes had deactivated alarm cables coiled around them, swaying silently with the ocean currents.
Mountain Goat swam ahead to lead the way.
The team didn’t carry extra lighting equipment, relying mainly on the occasional glimmers released by the train conductor.
Fortunately, everyone was extraordinarily skilled, and it didn’t impede their movement.
Quickly, under Mountain Goat’s guidance, they arrived before a pitch-black large door.
Moving closer to observe for a long time, Su Huan could barely recognize the shape of the door.
He didn’t care how these guys found it, waving his hand to have experts swim forward to try opening it.
Li Han from the end of the line also moved up, and with a gesture, all the mutated plants quietly encircling them retreated, even the seaweed on the door receded, taking away a large patch of sludge.
Meanwhile, Su Huan was contemplating how to violently break the door.
Though unfamiliar, judging by Donghuang’s cautious nature regarding warfare, the door definitely wouldn’t be easily opened.
"Hmm?"
Su Huan raised his head in astonishment.
"Boom——"
In just a bow of the head, the door unexpectedly opened!
Before he could react, a powerful suction pulled everyone and the sludge inside.
Ten minutes later.
The group stood bewildered by the scene before them.
Warm yellow emergency lights glowed, the wide corridor was dry and bright, and there was no standing water, only watermarks from when they climbed up.
"Has the military region’s waterproofing become this good?"
Vice President Deng, accompanying the team, stared in shock at the laboratory.
Mountain Goat shrugged, "I never entered such a military region before retiring, not sure, probably just the standard..."
"Nonsense, the entire province is flooded, yet inside here it’s dry?"
