Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 371 - : Chaos in the Research Institute
Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Chaos in the Research Institute
Meanwhile, inside the research institute, Su Jin had run into some unexpected serious trouble.
The Local Tyrant Gold’s Invisibility Ability had actually failed!
Fortunately, she was currently in the laboratory on sublevel one, where no one had yet discovered them.
Looking at Su Jin, who was anxiously trying to figure out a solution, Ren Yingjie became distraught, but thankfully, the other three had already been successfully rescued by this young woman.
As for himself being the only one left, it didn’t really matter.
“Can… Can you figure out how to escape by yourself?” Ren Yingjie asked Su Jin.
“???”
Su Jin looked at Ren Yingjie puzzled. What did he mean by that?
“What I mean is, if you can get out on your own, don’t worry about me… It’s already great that they could get out,” Ren Yingjie said to Su Jin with a smile.
“…”
Su Jin frowned. The situation was quite troublesome. Local Tyrant Gold clearly showed signs of Special Ability exhaustion; at the moment, it was so tired that its tongue was sticking out and its body had gone limp in her arms.
Feeling a bit sorry for Local Tyrant Gold in this state, Su Jin pretended to put Local Tyrant Gold into her coat pocket, then she placed it back into Space.
If it really came down to it, should they wait until Local Tyrant Gold had recovered before leaving?
At that moment, however, the sound of an alarm suddenly rang out from outside the door.
Su Jin looked at Ren Yingjie in shock, and he had the same expression on his face.
Have they been discovered?!

Ren Yingjie, quick to react, turned off the lights in the laboratory and then pulled Su Jin to hide under a lab bench.
The chemistry laboratory was completely sealed off, and the opaque white PVC panels had already completely blocked the light from inside the room. Ren Yingjie felt it was a display of a guilty conscience, but perhaps hiding for a bit might just let them escape detection…
Su Jin being pulled to squat under the desk by Ren Yingjie: “…”
The two of them squatted in the darkness for a long time without seeing anyone come in, yet the clamor outside never ceased.
What was happening?
Could it be that Lin Xiuyuan and the others had been discovered? Yet the sounds clearly came from within sublevel one, which Lin Xiuyuan and his group couldn’t have entered.
“There are people locked up on the other side undergoing human experiments. Maybe something happened there,” Ren Yingjie whispered.
“Is there a way to see what’s happening outside?” Su Jin asked.
“There is, but I don’t dare,” Ren Yingjie replied.
“…”
Su Jin was somewhat speechless, please, this is a critical moment for your life and death!
“Don’t worry, I’m really good at this, I’ll get you out,” Su Jin said.
In the darkness, Ren Yingjie quickly weighed his options. Regardless of whether he would be discovered tonight, it was a matter of life and death. He decided to take a leap of faith.
“If it comes to a matter of escape, if you can get out, then get out. Really, don’t worry about me, okay?”
Having made up his mind to face death, Ren Yingjie crawled along the passageway on either side of the bench toward the Clean Room on the side of the lab.
The Clean Room was the place where many experimental instruments were stored, especially highly precise equipment like microscopes, which could only be used most accurately within the Clean Room. There happened to be a window in the Clean Room that looked outside, covered by curtains, which usually wouldn’t be noticed by people outside.
Su Jin walked behind Ren Yingjie, watching him kneel and crawl forward on the ground, suddenly unsure of what to say.
Despite his obvious timidity, he willingly ended up staying till the end.
So was this being courageous or cowardly?
“Duck down a bit!” Ren Yingjie whispered.
Su Jin, feeling helpless, had no choice but to crouch down a little more.
“There’s a window inside, be careful.”
Ren Yingjie pointed to a door he had opened and spoke to her.
“Okay, don’t worry.”
Su Jin crouched down and walked into the room. Through the gap beside the curtain, she indeed saw the situation outside.
Several uniformed personnel were pinning someone to the ground.
That person, was it Luo Hui?!
How did he get in?
Although Luo Hui looked disheveled, resembling an uncle who had aged decades, Su Jin still recognized him instantly.
Thinking of Su Xiangmei, who was detained there, Su Jin started to understand.
So, the alarm that just went off outside, was that also triggered by Luo Hui?
Su Jin looked at the closed door, and Ren Yingjie, still too timid to come in, was squatting outside. So, she quickly flashed into the ‘space’.
As anxious as Lu Hao, seeing Local Tyrant Gold being brought in, he realized something bad was happening. He really wanted to go out now, but to avoid exposing the ‘space’, he had to continue staying inside.
“How’s it going?!” Lu Hao asked.
“Luo Hui broke into the basement level. Now there are people everywhere. I and the last one are still in the lab, not daring to go out,” Su Jin explained quickly.
“Okay, be careful, and pull me out if necessary.”
Lu Hao wanted to tell Su Jin about Mao Qiqi’s situation, but at the moment, Su Jin was also in a critical period. He figured that another person worrying would be pointless, so he could only hope Su Jin would be able to leave the research institute soon.
After summarizing the current situation, Su Jin flashed out of the ‘space’. Her main concern was Lin Xiuyuan. What if Lin Xiuyuan noticed something wrong and rushed in?
Outside, Luo Hui seemed to be kneeling on the ground, pleading for something. Su Jin’s heart was also incredibly complicated at this moment.
Their original plan was to not expose themselves, preferably to sneak Dr. Pei and a few others out without anyone noticing. Now with everyone outside, and no knowing when Local Tyrant Gold’s power would recover, did they really have to force their way through?
Outside the window.
Luo Hui was kneeling on the ground, his face streaked with tears, shouting frantically at Su Xiangmei.
“Mom! Mom, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have sent you here!”
And it seemed like Su Xiangmei recognized Luo Hui.
Her disheveled head turned stiffly to look at Luo Hui kneeling on the ground.
Her face was covered in scratches that looked self-inflicted, and one side of her forehead was all bruised.
A tear slid down from the corner of her eye.
She silently opened her mouth, mouthing words that only Luo Hui could recognize.
Luo Hui knew she was calling out “Huihui,” a name that his mother Su Xiangmei used to call him when he was little…
“Please, let my mother go, I’m begging you!!”
Luo Hui had completely broken down, but a person nearby wearing a mask and a white coat said, “The patient shows a significant emotional response upon seeing a family member. At this moment her emotions are completely under her own control.”
“Quick, quick, Xiao Li, record this!”
An older man excitedly spoke.
“Yes, Vice President Han.”
Xiao Li bowed his head in response, took out a pen, and started to jot down notes in the notebook he held.
Han Yizhou joyfully watched the woman, who seemed delirious, in front of him. Up until now, all their experimental subjects had seemed completely unresponsive to human speech, no matter how they were stimulated; they just raged silently.
He hadn’t expected this woman to still be able to cry!
“You should thank us; maybe your mother will become a powerful Special Ability User in the future,” said Han Yizhou.
“What on earth did you do to my mom?!”
Luo Hui asked furiously.
At that moment, a tall young man walked into the corridor and said to Luo Hui, “Nothing much, we… just implanted a Zombie Crystal Nucleus in her head, that’s all.”
