They could only lower their bodies and walk inside, proceeding for about 2 minutes.
At the end, there was an escalator. After going down, there was a door, with two men in black holding spears standing on either side.
The two remained unfazed and walked past calmly.
The laboratory was brightly lit, with countless naked human bodies lying on test benches.
They were dissected, tortured, and those who were still alive had eyes filled with fear and numbness.
The dead were even more horrific to behold.
Xu Qian's brow furrowed slightly, and she didn't look any further.
Suddenly, a patrol team, also clad in combat suits, approached them.
The leader smiled and patted Xiang Jintian's shoulder, saying, "Back so soon? Have you finished checking the outside? Remember to report properly; Professor Huang is already in a temper."
Xiang Jintian hummed softly. The leader said nothing further and left with his patrol team.
Of course, they did not intend to report. After wandering around for a bit, they used the excuse of the patrol team to circle the base extensively.
This base was large, not the small one they had imagined.
The ground floor was not only connected to the roast chicken shop; many of the shops above had laboratories in their basements.
The area was approximately 400 square meters, with a structure similar to the laboratory in the desert. It was divided into two zones: one for research on the human body, and the other for offices and document rooms.
However, the desert headquarters was larger and the research scope was broader.
Moreover, this laboratory was all about human experimentation, involving either living or dead individuals, or zombies.
There were many experimental personnel. They should have been in a meeting just now, with everyone concentrated under the fried chicken shop. Now they were scattered, making them harder to kill.
The two exchanged glances. Xu Qian couldn't think of a solution for the moment.
With their current abilities, a direct confrontation would be too risky.
Suddenly, a loud broadcast boomed from above.
"To all experimental personnel, please proceed to the relaxation room in 30 minutes to relax your minds!"
The two were taken aback. Was this laboratory that considerate?
Arranging relaxation sessions for them?
Many people raised their glass enclosures and stopped their experiments. They took off their gloves and masks, their expressions numb, and slowly walked towards the entertainment room.
The two naturally did not stand still and followed the crowd.
Once they removed their masks, the experimental personnel looked no different from ordinary people.
These experimental personnel were naturally brilliant, but instead of contributing to the nation, they destroyed their own homeland. Xu Qian found it perplexing.
Following the crowd, they arrived at a section of white walls.
Many people waited by the side, the air filled with silence.
With so many people present, there wasn't a single sound of conversation. Even exhaling seemed wrong.
Suddenly, the wall slid open to the sides, revealing a vast hall.
It was brightly lit, with a stage directly opposite. Below it, rows of soft sofas were neatly arranged.
After entering, they each chose their own seats.
Xu Qian and the other were not particularly conspicuous, as many people in black also entered. They chose seats by the edges, not the central ones.
The two followed suit and sat in the furthest corner.
From here, they had an excellent view of what was happening on stage and of everyone present.
More and more people filed in and took their seats.
Suddenly, the main door slammed shut.
Those people seemed to shed all pretense, collapsing onto the sofas. Some even took off their shirts and lay completely sprawled on the furniture.
A palpable sense of lethargy permeated the room.
Suddenly, a spotlight illuminated the stage, and a man in a well-tailored suit strode to the center.
His hair was slicked back with so much hairspray it gleamed.
The man in the suit beamed, holding a microphone, and announced loudly, "Welcome everyone to our weekly relaxation day."
