Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 144: Objective Achieved, Extreme Escape, Take Care

Boom—

With two violent explosions ringing out.

The underground laboratory plunged into darkness as the power lines were destroyed.

The wall of the human live experiments laboratory was also blown open, creating a breach.

Immediately after.

Two flashbangs exploded inside the laboratory, and all the technicians stationed there to monitor the equipment covered their heads in dizziness before collapsing to the ground.

Yu Yuan moved swiftly, putting his combat detector back on, with relevant data instantly appearing before his eyes.

With the dark vision enhancement effect active, Yu Yuan quickly located the low-temperature refrigeration cabinet storing the human genetic modification serum according to Mona's intelligence.

This low-temperature refrigeration cabinet clearly had a battery backup, as the electronic temperature control screen still displayed the current cabinet temperature of 4°C.

Originally, Yu Yuan planned to directly pack up and take the entire low-temperature refrigeration cabinet, but it was connected to the laboratory floor and couldn't be removed.As the low-temperature refrigeration cabinet was opened, a wave of cold air rushed toward him, and three glass test tubes of different colors appeared before Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan took out the alloy insulated box previously used to store the Nizi Water Arrow Turtle eggs, and carefully placed the three genetic modification serums into the insulated box.

The lid closed, the insulated box stored into the rabbit ring—the entire sequence of actions flowed smoothly without interruption, taking less than one minute from entering the laboratory to completing the objective.

Yu Yuan immediately prepared to leave, but just as he was about to exit the laboratory, his eyes fell upon the several computer mainframes on the control console in the experimental area, and an idea occurred to him.

Stepping over the two technicians' bodies, he went directly to the control console, where he stuffed all the computers—mainframes, screens, and peripherals—into the rabbit ring.

Also taken away were several experimental record notebooks from the operating console.

Leaving the human live experiments laboratory, he arrived at the meeting point with Mona, who was already waiting there.

"Where are your items? There will be item inspection at the entrance, I can help you take them out." Mona said with some concern.

"Don't worry about that, the items won't be found by anyone."

"Then we need to leave quickly. The commotion we caused this time was too big. Once the backup power starts, the identity verification systems and internal monitoring systems will definitely be activated, and you won't be able to escape by then."

Yu Yuan didn't doubt Mona's words in the slightest.

And since he had obtained everything he wanted, there was naturally no need to remain here any longer.

"Good! I'll leave right now!" The two ran toward the entrance of the underground laboratory.

"By the way, regarding the intruder, you can direct suspicion toward the Iron Anchor Shipping Company. They discovered an island with spiritual creatures in the Breaker Sea, which is why they're interested in mutant creature experiments. This intelligence might help you resolve some trouble."

"And at No. 23 South District Seaside Villa, there's a group of people from the Breaker Sea who are also interested in your mutant creature experiments. They all have reasons and motives for invading the underground laboratory. Use this intelligence as you see fit."

Yu Yuan knew that his success in today's operation was largely thanks to Mona's help, but it could likely bring her some trouble.

He hoped these two pieces of intelligence would help her.

Mona immediately understood Yu Yuan's meaning and, after brief consideration, already had a plan in mind.

"No matter what happens later, stay close to me and leave everything to me!" Mona instructed.

Just then, the lights on the ceiling of the underground laboratory flickered twice before lighting up again.

"Not good, the backup power has started. We have at most three minutes before the identity verification systems activate. We need to speed up."

After saying this, Mona called out to several security personnel passing by not far away: "You few, come with me..."

"Yes!"

The security personnel, upon seeing Mona, immediately joined the group, and the entire team quickly ran toward the entrance.

Yu Yuan followed closely behind Mona without looking around.

In less than a minute, they reached the entrance of the underground laboratory, which was already heavily surrounded and sealed off by security personnel.

When Mona appeared, someone who seemed to be the security captain immediately saluted.

"Lady Zoe, we need to conduct item inspection..."

"Quickly, I have urgent business!" Hearing Mona's words, security personnel began inspecting everyone with a scanner-like device.

In less than ten seconds, the inspection was completed.

"All clear! Lady Zoe."

Mona nodded, then quickly pointed to two security personnel.

"You two come with me too!"

She looked at the security captain.

"The intruder attacked the human live experiments laboratory, but I injured him. We absolutely cannot let him escape."

"Yes!"

Just seconds after they left the aquarium entrance, the underground laboratory's identity verification systems and internal monitoring systems finished rebooting and began conducting comprehensive inspections of the entire underground laboratory.

Mixed in the crowd, Yu Yuan heard shouts about identity verification coming from behind him, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, the combat within Johnck Zoo had already ended. Yu Yuan looked at the turrets being retracted underground and the various firepower units, feeling shaken inside.

"Is this the foundation of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association? This is somewhat too exaggerated!"

While thinking this, Mona had already stopped and was looking at them.

"You two go in that direction, you two go that way... you come with me!" Mona finally pointed at Yu Yuan.

"Help me find thugs from the Iron Anchor Shipping Company, alive!"

"Yes!"

As the security personnel dispersed.

Yu Yuan followed behind Mona as they walked forward together. The entire zoo was filled with destroyed rockeries and fortifications.

Most of the ground structures had become ruins.

The countless mutant animal corpses, combined with combat vehicle wreckage and thug bodies, made the entire zoo seem like a true slaughterhouse at this moment.

The bloody scent in the air was so thick it was almost overwhelming.

"King, can you hear me?"

Suddenly, Alpha's intermittent voice came through the earpiece.

Yu Yuan's spirits lifted.

Glancing at Mona ahead, he immediately replied: "Received, what's the current situation?"

"King, that's great, finally got your message! We've reached the predetermined location and are currently observing the zoo situation. The zoo is surrounded by a circle of high-voltage electric walls, but they seem to have some problems—they suddenly lost power earlier, though the metal walls are still there."

"For escaping, there's a section of wall on the eastern side that was broken through by a tank, currently unguarded, and also the western side..."

Listening to Alpha quickly analyzing escape routes, Yu Yuan looked at Mona.

"I should go! You know Masier, right? If you need my help, you can contact me through her."

Mona's lips beneath her veil pressed slightly together as she nodded gently.

"Hurry and go! As for the ritual procedures and background information you need, I've only just begun learning about them myself. Once I've mastered them, I'll have Masier deliver them to you!"

"Okay... take care." Yu Yuan knew it was time to leave. Staying any longer would not only endanger him but also put Mona in great danger.

He immediately turned and ran toward the location Alpha had provided.

Watching Yu Yuan's departing figure, Mona's eyes gradually returned to their previous indifference and calmness. After quickly scanning her surroundings, she ran toward the direction where the Iron Anchor Shipping Company had attacked.

Capturing thugs from the Iron Anchor Shipping Company wasn't just a random excuse she had made—she needed a reason she could explain to her teacher.

And the intelligence Yu Yuan had provided happened to be a good direction.
