After leaving, I went straight to the base. There, a twenty-person squad was all ready. I quickly changed into my battle gear as well, and put my badge onto my shoulder with a “Pa” sound. Next, I put two army knifes on each of my holster and strapped Xiao Hei onto my back. I had my handgun as well. Since the operation didn’t need it, there was no need to bring a sniper rifle.
Everyone was ready. Wang Xin waved his hands and said, “Li Xiao Yao will lead. Since Shen Bing is familiar with the area, she’ll go as well.”
On the side, a fully equipped Shen Bing smiled and nodded, “Okay!”
I stared, “Sister Shen Bing, you’re going as well?”
“What? Afraid that I’ll drag you down?”
“Not, But…..”
“No buts. Let’s go!”
“Okay…..”
……
After getting into the car, we ventured deep into the city at night. At around 12PM, the car stopped in a small alleyway. I gave my signal, and the group quickly got off the car without a sound. Shen Bing carried a sub-machine gun and was trying to get off as well. I grabbed her hand, and she turned to stare at me, “Hey. What are you doing?”
I looked at her. “Sister Shen Bing, you’ll follow me. Make sure to be careful……”
“Okay!”
In front, a member unlocked the door to the mall and with his signal, everyone entered. When we got in, Shen Bing turned on her flashlight and thoroughly scouted the mall. Shen Bing whispered, “That door, it’ll lead us underground. Let’s go!”
Two members swiftly opened the door and went straight down.
I also extended my Yi Hai and didn’t feel any super powers within a 5 kilometer radius. I could tell that something was wrong, but we couldn’t turn back now. After following them, we entered the secret room in the basement. The hall was dark and felt damp on my skin. My shoes made a crackling sound with every step. There was also a strange odor pervading the air.
“What happened?” Shen Bing asked when she noticed my reaction.
I blinked a bit. “I smell something……”
“What do you smell?”
“The scent of human blood…..”
“……”
By then, three members surrounded the door in front of us and said, “Boss, behind this is the 3rd level basement. It’s locked electronically. What do we do? Force it open?”
“Move!”
I unsheathed Xiao Hei and rushed forward and slashed the lock with one stroke!
“Keng!”
The lock broke in half and activated the alarms. Shen Bing quickly moved forward and disabled a wire, causing the alarms to shut off. After the doors opened, an even more foul scent wafted through.
I quickly lifted my hands and turned on the flashlight on the gun to scan the dark room. There were large containers all over the room; all of them were filled with human body parts. Some of them only had limbs soaked in some sort of water. There were some scales on the limbs as well. These were probably some failed experiments.
