Chapter 556: Chapter 168: The Laboratory Hidden by the Canal_3

The two majors and intelligence personnel did not refuse.

As soon as they put it on, their mouths formed an O shape. This exoskeleton is a bit difficult to put on, but it is lightweight, fully functional, and automatically covers with transparent lenses that don’t block vision. It has night vision and can probably switch quickly in exposed situations.

Clenching a fist, it feels like anything will take less effort. The key is that it fits snugly, like an extra layer of supporting bones outside the body. The body only increases in size by about a circle.

"Admiral Bai was right, Professor Su, you sure know how to hide things. Can this be used as a Battle Suit?"

"This model cannot. This exoskeleton has a limit; in the mecha cabin you can stay for ten days half a month without coming out, but this can only last up to three days. If the mecha breaks, it’s hard for you to deal with it, and it would hinder your actions. If it can break in current situations, then it means you can die several times over. It cannot replace today’s exoskeletons, but it’s very suitable for use in narrow environments with significant enhancements in strength and speed."

The four: That’s quite reasonable, can’t refute it.

"This model cannot, is there another version?"

Su Xiaocai: "I suppose." The one she gave to Wu Qingqing is an exoskeletal Battle Suit, even lighter, designed for space environment.

"Hehe." Major Liu said, "Then I’ll report to the superior." This small move might again earn some credit.

Su Xiaocai: "..."

Has Admiral Bai bewitched the soldiers? They are so loyal, not even asking if they may.

Major Liu wouldn’t ask; even if asked, it wouldn’t matter. The report will still be made, regardless of concealment or openness. The benefits gained from being open are greater, so it’s naturally done openly, without Admiral Bai needing to send someone else to test Su Xiaocai, which might instead alert her.

Su Xiaocai, being smart, would certainly have guessed they would report it.

After a while, "Let’s go." Major Chen led the way.

They didn’t need to turn on the lights; they could already see the surroundings, but it was originally lit. Su Xiaocai very conveniently fumbled on the right side of the door, and the light came on.

It illuminated the whole corridor.

Currently, many homes are controlled by intelligent housekeepers; just informing the housekeeper can turn on the lights.

Traditional lamp switch usage is very low frequency, and for a moment, none of them could react.

There’s no use in worrying; they continued walking.

The corridor is not long, and the three can walk side by side. The intelligence personnel are constantly observing the surroundings.

The end leads to a room with a large hole in the corner of the roof, blocked with stones, oil and water mixture seeping down, overhead is likely the area of the Greed.

On the ground, there is also a hole, steel bars are broken upwards, showing something inside ran and hit it.

Then the question arises, during the last visit, Huahua did not show yearning, and this time it was also very obedient.

The spotlight is turned on, shining down.

Five people collectively gasp, so many insect men.

Rows of giant culture tanks, horrifying insect heads can be seen, eyes tightly shut, motionless, still unsettling

Su Xiaocai instinctively glanced at Huahua, but Huahua did not react and preferred stretching its paw to play with the steel bars.

"What’s below is likely a hybrid."

"Send a message to Colonel Yuan, we don’t have enough people, we can’t risk it." Su Xiaocai was not in a hurry.

She looked around to identify location and simulating escape routes.

After waiting nearly an hour, the investigator had brought all soldiers inside.

Colonel Yuan personally led a team, fully equipped, set up retractable ladders and armed.

Su Xiaocai still outfitted those going into the cave with exoskeletons, and Colonel Yuan gave her a deep look, here again, space button which seems like a treasure box, endless pull out.

They acted swiftly, descended to explore.

The underground area is larger than the surface, yet there was no immediate danger, seeming that dangerous factors have been eliminated.

Several shattered culture tanks showed the eagerness of the insect men to escape, not rescuing companions.

"I’ll take Huahua down to see." Su Xiaocai agilely slid down the ladder, holding Huahua with one hand.

Underground, Huahua remained unresponsive but was curious about the curled-up thing inside the glass.

"Meow." It squinted its eyes, tilted its head several times.

"Are these still people?" Suddenly someone dropped a small object on the ground, making a crisp sound. Following the sound, Su Xiaocai walked over.

Pupils constrict, she finally understands why Huahua didn’t react.

One of the culture tanks contained a child transformed into half-human half-insect.

The child might not be over five years old, still having baby fat on the face, but below the neck, no longer human-like.

No wonder Huahua didn’t react, in principle these things are not the same as insect men.

Could it be that the place she came to was wrong?

Su Xiaocai touched the touchscreen below the culture tank, requiring authentication to unlock it, calmly saying: "I need some time to crack it."

For safety, they sent more people to protect Su Xiaocai.

Meanwhile, a team of identification scientists arrived outside, this time sending a truly professional team, including Yang Zhao.

He dressed professionally, slender waist and long legs, the majors and Colonel Yuan blocked him, he didn’t advance further, "Hi, meeting again."

Su Xiaocai didn’t hear, focused on cracking.

Seeing Su Xiaocai unresponsive, he resignedly put on gloves, sampling around.

Major Chen and Major Liu thought of Su Xiaocai’s conversation with Ji Li, felt Yang Zhao indigestible.

Firmly defending Su Xiaocai, knowing Yang Zhao is Blue Star’s forensic scientist, agreeing with Ji Li’s view, not discriminating against forensic scientists, but this guy is not decent.

Following Yang Zhao, a female forensic scientist curiously observed Su Xiaocai, "Brother Yang, who is she? Do you know?"

"Su Xiaocai."

"She is Su Xiaocai?" The female Forensic scientist had heard of Su Xiaocai’s reputation, "Is she military personnel? What’s she doing?"

"Miss Feng, you and I just arrived here, how can I know what others are doing, please use your professional quality to perform this task. Don’t ask questions that shouldn’t be asked."

Feng Ruchuan pouted aggrievedly, "I’m just saying, why blame me."

She coquettishly chastised softly, accompanying soldiers shivered at the shrill pitch, trembling high, not pinching when unnecessary.

Su Xiaocai spent twenty minutes finally cracking it, at the moment of code breaking.

The monstrous child creature moved inside the culture tank, opened its eyes meeting Su Xiaocai’s gaze, scaled tentacles writhing.

Red eyes flickered with appetite, forced asleep for days, it was hungry.

Lips split open, revealing shark-like multiple rows of sharp teeth.

Protecting her few people aimed weapons at the culture tank.

Huahua began bristling at the tank’s contents.

Su Xiaocai had no spare time to think, nor noticed Huahua’s anomaly, observing its data changes via touchscreen.

As the data values reached red alert, above the culture tank a yellow syringe was fired.

This injects into its body, the awakened monster screamed and then quieted down.

Data returned to normal.

It looked up fearfully, no longer daring to show aggression towards Su Xiaocai. Baby fat belonging to a child lumping, somewhat cute yet terrifying.

"What can Professor Su conclude?"

"It was transforming into an insect man, but the culture tank’s syringe was preventing this process." Su Xiaocai pulled a touchscreen page, the monster’s body connected to many tubes.

Seems to be nutrient transport tubes.

She intended to cut it off.

"Crack." Nearby a culture tank cracked.

Su Xiaocai frowned, looking at all data on touchscreen changing, Wisdom 03’s voice transmitting through the earphone.

"The server controlling the culture tanks is disconnecting, this is a trap."

It happened in an instant.

All culture tanks began fracturing internally.

Inside, terror-inducing creatures were released.

Colonel Yuan ordered people to retreat swiftly.

Those nearest to the entrance obeyed the command to evacuate. The monsters freed and gradually waking.
