Chapter 712: Secret laboratory hidden underground
Hearing what Nathaniel said, Cheng Ling's heart moved slightly.
wrong.
Nathaniel's reaction was very strange - as far as Cheng Ling knew, Nathaniel was a strict and principled man.
Today, you actually let him go without even asking a single question about Cheng Ling's identity or searching Cheng Ling's clothes?
"Charlie," the mercenary captain brought by Angel said to one of the mercenaries, "you stay and watch the high-speed boat. Bessie, you come with me."
The tendon man from Experimental Island took the lead, Nathaniel followed behind him, while Angel and Cheng Ling were in the middle of the group, followed by Angel's mercenaries and soldiers from Experimental Island.
The group of people walked silently towards the depths of the dense forest.
Cheng Ling, on the other hand, has been secretly observing the jungle——
This island has so many trees that it’s a bit overwhelming.
The jungle is filled with mist, damp and dark.
Sunlight cannot penetrate the thick canopy, only wisps of light leak out.
The trunks were covered with moss and vines, and the branches hung low, tangled with the bushes on the ground.
The air was filled with the fishy smell of rotting leaves and seawater, which was suffocating.
Walking in this kind of dense forest gives people a very depressing feeling - not to mention that in the dense forest, there are always the sounds of rustling branches and shadows flying through the dense forest.
The bird with its strange chirping stood on the tree trunk without fear of people, looking at Cheng Ling and the others with its head tilted.
Cheng Ling followed them in the dense forest with difficulty. The flip-flops she wore gave her a lot of trouble - the ground was very muddy, with rotten leaves and mud making Cheng Ling's flip-flops dirty.
There is no trace of the civilized world here, no human noise.
Nature displays its most primitive sounds and forms in front of them without any concealment.
——How do they transport supplies?
Cheng Ling did not find any traces of the wheel on the ground.
Where is it?
Cheng Ling looked at the jungle up and down, left and right with fearful eyes——
"It's okay, it's safe here," Angel comforted her next to her, "Just hold on a little longer and we'll be there soon."
"Well," Cheng Ling's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the jungle beasts, "I saw a snake-"
She pointed into the distance.
There was half a vine hanging down from the tree - it was actually a green snake.
Angel squeezed Cheng Ling's hand.
At this moment, Cheng Ling found an unusual dark light flashing somewhere above her head - she squinted and saw that there was actually a dark black steel wire hidden there. Somewhere on the steel wire was polished until it shined. Cheng Ling The light filaments we just saw were reflected by the sun shining on them.
If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to spot it - presumably, these steel wires are used to transport supplies.
After walking arduously for more than half an hour in the moist and dark dense forest, they penetrated deep into the hinterland of the island - raised tree roots, rotten leaves and puddles on the ground seriously affected their progress.
At this time, the team suddenly stopped.
Nathaniel, who had remained silent, said, "Here we are."
Cheng Ling had a confused look on his face. It is still a jungle without any buildings.
Before she could ask any questions, she saw the fleshy man step forward and open the bark of a big tree - it was a fake tree with a trap hidden inside.
The sinewy man pressed the button and then closed the bark.
"Rumble--"
The ground shook and made a dull sound.
A piece of land not far ahead moved to the side, revealing a spacious and bright passage.
Stairs lead to the depths of the ground——
It turns out that the laboratory is hidden underground!
Cheng Ling looked around and found an exhaust outlet disguised as a half-cut tree stump, as well as a faucet that was hard to spot unless you looked carefully. The faucets were all painted with green paint.
No wonder the steps in the laboratory passage are so clean that not a single dirty footprint can be seen.
You should have just washed your feet with a faucet.
Everyone took turns stepping forward.
When it was Cheng Ling's turn, Cheng Ling observed carefully. The water in the faucet was clean and transparent, without the sticky feeling of sea water - the island should have a water purification equipment somewhere.
After washing her feet, Cheng Ling felt a little more relaxed.
The tendon man took out two pairs of shoe covers from somewhere and gave one pair to Angel and one pair to Cheng Ling.
Nathaniel brought his own shoe covers.
The mercenaries stayed at the exit, waiting. Only Nathaniel, Angel, and Cheng Ling walked down the steps.
After descending more than a dozen steps, there was a rumble above the head, and the entrance to the passage was closed. The lighting above the passage had a high wattage, illuminating the feet very brightly.
Cheng Ling took a deep breath.
The steel key against her thigh gave her a bit of strength - at least she wasn't defenseless.
After walking up twenty-three steps, we turned a corner.
After walking a dozen more steps, a dark blue steel gate appeared at the end of the steps.
Cheng Ling recognized this kind of door.
——Explosion-proof sealed door, double opening with small door, two mechanical locks and one electronic lock.
This kind of door is also waterproof and shockproof - often found in arsenals hidden deep in the mountains, or secret military bases.
