The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 1004: Analysis

After listening, Ji You clicked her tongue repeatedly, unable to help asking: "Was it really discovered by Fu Feng? Why didn’t he come down?"

Yue Qiguang said, "He said he’s afraid of heights and the dark, so he didn’t want to come down." To enter this underground world, one has to jump down from the collapsed cavity, at a height of about 70 or 80 meters, and the underground world is very dark...

Upon hearing this, Ji You muttered: "So many problems indeed."

Speaking of which, Ji You couldn’t help but say: "With a body like Lin of Liu Fufeng, could he really discover the enemy? Could it be that you let the enemy escape and are afraid I’ll scold you, so you’re deliberately deceiving me?"

Yue Qiguang heard this and instantly rolled his eyes, retorting in a bad mood: "Would dad lie to you? Is dad that idle?"

Ji You thought about it: "That’s true."

Although Liu Fufeng’s body was frail, his spiritual power was unusual, so it wasn’t too surprising he could discover the enemy.

Yue Qiguang was about to make some more sarcastic remarks when, unexpectedly, Ji You chimed in: "With your IQ, you couldn’t come up with such a clever scam."

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Yue Qiguang clenched his fists and asked Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing: "I feel like killing this idiot right now, do any of you have opinions on that?"

"Cough cough..." Yue Qiyuan scolded, "Why argue with someone whose head is injured? Seriously."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qiguang laughed bitterly and slapped his thigh: "Exactly, there’s no need for dad to argue with someone whose brain has issues."

Yue Qiyuan said: "I was just talking to Ji You earlier."

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Yue Qiguang glared: "Yue Qiyuan, are you looking for death?"

Yue Qiyuan said: "That’s right, just like you thought—your brain does have issues, quite significant ones."

Yue Qiguang: "..."

"Cough cough..." Ji You cleared her throat to interrupt the brothers’ internal conflict, speaking softly: "Born from the same root, why roast each other in such haste."

Oh dear, having spoken, they became a pair of insults.

Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan’s faces instantly darkened.

As the situation was about to dive into a peculiar internal strife, Shen Changqing gently said: "Ji You, I just checked again, there’s only one monitoring system here, no other dark doors, nor anything else discovered."

Ji You asked curiously: "What’s going on? How could there be nothing at all? Why would these people hide here, and why, at the sight of us breaking in, do they want to kill us?"

At this moment, Sheng Qingyan’s thick, curled lashes still had a trace of sparkling tears hanging on them. He blinked and the tears fluttered down...

The tear hanging on fell off, Sheng Qingyan raised his head and collected the sorrow and anxiety from his pupils, then turned to Ji You and said: "Because this underground chamber is actually an illegal laboratory, 50 or 60 years ago, the Alliance and other nations and regions discovered many clandestine laboratories illegally conducting experiments, which later caused severe impacts, so they were heavily suppressed, this place..."

Sheng Qingyan took a step and walked around the chamber, then continued: "Abandoned for about 50 years, it’s a standard human laboratory."

Ji You asked: "Hmm? Human?"

Just the word ’human’ sent chills down people’s spines...

Sheng Qingyan said: "Specifically, ah, I don’t quite know, ah."

Shen Changqing added, speaking softly: "What Ayan said is true. The chamber we’re in now has nothing inside because it’s a monitoring room designed to oversee every room in the underground illegal laboratory. The first door we paced through to the seventh, each door has its purpose; you’ve tried, it was very simple, each door has the door lock password directly revealed to you, in truth, it’s not intended to inform us intruders, but rather—"

At this point, Shen Changqing’s tone slightly deepened: "In fact, it’s to inform those experimental subjects."

"..." Ji You opened her mouth, "So then...this place, did it not get suppressed? Eliminated?"

Shen Changqing pondered for a while, refrained from immediately explaining Ji You’s question, and softly said: "I just observed that the eighth door is actually the true laboratory, the ninth door is connected with the first door, from the first door you only need to turn a corner to reach the ninth, however, the connecting passage between these two doors is blocked, but if not for Ying Dadao just now opening this channel, we might have circled around without finding this passage. Besides, the real laboratory of the eighth door appears to be a material room because all of the experiment equipment has been moved, not a single piece left."

Everyone listened intently.

Shen Changqing continued pointing to several spots on the eighth door: "They obviously moved swiftly, leaving indentation marks from experimental equipment on the ground. But these marks have now turned into moss, making them not very visible."

Everyone followed Shen Changqing’s pointed direction and upon looking, indeed, it was so.

Shen Changqing said: "Thus, this illegal laboratory possibly caught wind of some information, heard some rumors, or simply had connections to obtain insider info, leading to a preemptive evacuation."

So, it wasn’t that there was no suppression or abolishment, rather these people fled early?

Ji You slightly closed her eyes, saying: "So this place has been abandoned for 50 years now. Then—how do these people know this secret location?" She raised her hand pointing to the corpses of Ying Tu and the others.

Ji You’s question clearly hit the core.

Shen Changqing shook his head and said: "I couldn’t guess either. However, during Bee Head Star’s prosperous Black Gold Ore era, several large mining companies stationed here not only employed tons of miners for digging but also quite a few free mercenary groups for security..."

Yue Qiyuan furrowed his brows and said: "Tracking the missions they’ve received in recent years should clarify it. If indeed they’ve undertaken security for Bee Head Star here, then it’s not surprising they’re hiding here now."

Ji You hurriedly asked: "Hiding here?"

Yue Qiyuan said solemnly: "These people are already wanted felons by the Alliance, and the Alliance has officially issued a wanted order."

Ji You asked: "What crime did they commit?"

Yue Qiyuan’s eyes darkened slightly: "Not long ago, they hijacked and killed passengers of a public transport spaceship, everyone aboard perished."

Ji You opened her mouth, remained silent for a moment, then clenched her fists tightly: "Damn! If I’d known these bastards were so heinous, I wouldn’t have let them die so soon! Damn!"

Everyone’s expressions became extremely somber, Yue Qiyuan said: "This laboratory will temporarily be handled by the team led by Senior Ye Liqiang; let’s return to the surface first."

Ji You: "Alright."

Initially, upon hearing Ying Dadao was captured, Ji You had put her mind at ease, confident to get a good night’s sleep and heal her body well. Unexpectedly, after hearing this news, she felt miserable.
