Chapter 446 Dr. Deng’s Clue
Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Dr. Deng’s Clue"You," Xu Huo pointed at Tong Jian. "Try walking out the door."
"If you aren’t a ticket player, once the instance is closed, you can’t leave either," Kong Cheng said.
"Seeing is believing," Xu Huo simply didn’t believe him and insisted that Tong Jian do as he said.
Tong Jian looked at Kong Cheng and, after getting a nod, he walked toward the door. Just like the ticket players, he was stopped by an invisible barrier, and hitting the glass and walls next to him was ineffective.
"Are you satisfied now?" Tong Jian turned around and asked.
Xu Huo then motioned for the Kong siblings to move away from the elevator, and with Dr. Deng as his hostage, he headed toward the elevator.
While they walked, Dr. Deng, sweating, said, "Be careful, don’t cut me..."
"Shut up!" Xu Huo yanked him, dragged him into the elevator, and said to the Kong siblings, "You stay here. If I find the elevator running, you know the consequences."
After he finished speaking, he signaled Gan Qing and Chu Yuan to follow him.
The four of them took the elevator back down to the first underground level. Upon arriving, Xu Huo let go of Dr. Deng and ordered Chu Yuan and the other man to move tables and chairs to block the elevator door, keeping the elevator on this level.
After the elevator alarm sounded for thirty seconds, it went quiet. Chu Yuan, looking puzzled, said, "Why come down here? Isn’t it better to stay up there and make them come down? There is also a time bomb, ’Ghost Shadow,’ in the lab."
"You’re not thinking of competing with them for the potion, are you?" speculated Gan Qing.
"We might as well look for Wu Xiaonan and Qiu Xiangdong instead of wasting our time on that." Xu Huo said, "Let’s see if they’re still alive."
The two were somewhat confused; Xu Huo didn’t even care whether Miao Yu was dead or alive, so why did he care so much about Wu Xiaonan and Qiu Xiangdong? To be honest, the fact that the Kong siblings had gone upstairs meant that Wu Xiaonan was most likely dead, while there was a good chance that Qiu Xiangdong was still alive, but he had been laying low and might not show up now.
"Qiu Xiangdong has already shown up," Xu Huo said. "Go find them, dead or alive, we need some certainty."
Hearing him say this, Chu Yuan and Gan Qing had no choice but to go
"The second is that they haven’t looked in the right place."
Xu Huo pondered briefly before suggesting, "The only area in the entire laboratory that hasn’t been searched is the pile of corpses on the third sub-level."
Dr. Deng shook his head, "The corpse piles have been searched as well, more than once. The mutant plants you see now have grown subsequently, and the bodies have been digested, with new ones piling on top of the old."
"Before, the Beren Clan speculated that this laboratory instance area has a self-cleaning function, which is why the corpses are periodically transported to the third floor for the plants."
"But now it seems more apparent that it’s not the laboratory using the corpses to nourish the plants, but Ghost Shadow. There’s a time interval, and since Ghost Shadow is mobile, it could easily move the drug to hide it." Xu Huo concluded the conversation.
