Merlin didn't leave.
After all, this was the time to show her loyalty.
With her shrewdness, she wouldn't abandon her boss at a time like this.
Chen Zhao and Lila Gainich walked in front.
There were some water stains on the ground, but it wasn't very dirty overall.
After all, they'd only moved here one or two days ago.
"This place makes me uncomfortable," Lila Gainich said.
"There's a magnetic field in the air here," Chen Zhao said. "It's probably because some equipment is still running. Even I can't sense further away."
Chen Zhao knew what Lila Gavich meant by discomfort.
There was a special magnetic field here. It wasn't dangerous, but it was attached to people's skin.
There was a special magnetic field here, but it wasn't dangerous.
Chen Zhao didn't realize that there was an underground lab when he was above ground.
It was also because of the magnetic field here.
"There shouldn't be anything here," Merlin said. "They've moved all the valuable equipment away. The remaining chemicals aren't enough to pay off the debt."
"I want to know what equipment created the magnetic field here and how much it's worth," Lila Gainich said.
"Maybe it's not just equipment. There's something else."
"What?"
Chen Zhao smiled and didn't answer.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Apart from that, there was also a fishy smell.
Chen Zhao's first reaction was that it was seafood.
The three took the elevator down to a deeper area.
Thankfully, it wasn't dark and the basic lighting was still intact.
Just then, the three saw a room up ahead. There was a sign saying "Monitoring Room" on the door.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw a line of blood on the ground.
Judging from the bloodstains, it seemed like something was dragging a corpse.
"Let's go in and take a look," Chen Zhao said.
Merlin followed behind. She was very uncomfortable with this place.
There was a row of screens in the monitoring room, but there were still blood splatters on them.
"Boss, Mr. Chen, how about we leave first?" Merlin tried to persuade them again.
However, Chen Zhao and Lila Gainich ignored Merlin's request.
Chen Zhao turned on the screen and switched to the scene from two days ago.
What appeared on the screen was the scene of the researchers and workers busily moving the equipment away.
However, Chen Zhao and Lila Gainich noticed that one of the screens was recording what had happened in the lab.
The workers were using hammers to break the glass containers along the way.
Then, a large amount of liquid flowed out of the glass container, along with some deformed things.
These deformed things seemed to be artificially bred, but they were not creatures that ordinary people knew of.
Their upper bodies were like snakes, their heads and bodies were slender, but they had a pair of short, thick claws.
When Merlin saw those deformed creatures, his face instantly became very ugly.
The three of them continued to watch the surveillance footage. Suddenly, one of the deformed creatures went berserk.
The deformed creature suddenly wrapped itself around a worker's neck, and then directly covered the worker's head with a bloody mouth.
The worker struggled a little and fell to the ground.
When the other workers saw this, they wanted to come forward to help, but soon, more deformed creatures released from the containers woke up.
These deformed creatures immediately turned the laboratory into a field of blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
At this time, the alarm sounded. At the same time, the camera was also destroyed, and there was no image after that.
However, there were other images, and the figures of the deformed creatures appeared one after another in other images.
The researchers began to evacuate even faster. Meanwhile, the security personnel were exchanging fire with the deformed creatures.
However, many people were dragged into the shadows by the deformed creatures.
Chen Zhao looked at the surveillance footage. "Is this a scene from a movie?"
"Maybe reality," Lila Gavich said with a bitter smile.
By now, Merlin's face had already turned pale from fear, because he saw one of the images.
This was what had happened in the surveillance room.
A deformed creature had appeared at the door of the surveillance room. At that time, the people in the room had been in a hurry to leave.
In the end, the two collided head-on. After a series of struggles, the person was forcibly pulled out of the surveillance room.
At that time, the person had not died yet. He was dragged all the way, letting out heart-wrenching screams.
"Check if there's any signal on your phone," Lila Gavich said.
Merlin hurriedly took out his phone and looked at Lila Gavich miserably. "We're at least 20 meters from the ground. There's no signal at all."
"Forget it," Lila Gavich cursed. "Let's just leave here. So unlucky. We'll have to spend some money to clean this place up again."
The three came to the elevator, but the indicator light showed that it was floor -6.
But no matter how they pressed, the elevator would not reach their floor.
"Looks like the elevator here can't be used," Chen Zhao said helplessly. "Let's take the stairs."
"There's no stairs here," Lila Gavich said.
"How do you know?" Chen Zhao asked, confused.
Lila Gavich pointed at a map on a nearby pillar.
"This elevator seems to be blocked on purpose."
"It's probably those things," Chen Zhao said. "From the surveillance footage, those things are quite intelligent."
"What do we do now?" Merlin's face paled.
"Maybe we can find another way around," Lila Gavich said.
"Then … what if … what if we encounter those things?" Merlin looked at Chen Zhao and Lila Gavich in fear.
"In terms of probability, it's the same everywhere. We can encounter those things," Lila Gavich said. "And in terms of survival, it's much more likely to survive if you're with two men than if you're alone."
Chen Zhao looked at the pale-faced Merlin and added another blow.
"Of course, if we encounter a large number of those things, we'll have a much higher chance of survival if we push you out and escape."
"Ah …" Merlin screamed in fright.
"Don't be so scared. I'm just joking."
How could she not be scared? Merlin only felt that even staying with Chen Zhao and Lila Gavich had become very dangerous.
Who knew if they would really use her as bait, as they had joked.
"Don't come near me!"
Suddenly, Merlin took out a pepper spray and aimed it at the two.
Chen Zhao and Lila Gavich's expressions froze.
They were indeed joking, but Merlin seemed to take their joke seriously.
