Chapter 373 - 369: Locating the Target
Behind the large door, it was like a meat processing plant, except those hanging from the hooks were not pork but people, dead people. Even more shocking, all of these bodies were deformed, missing limbs or having shrunken brains – not one was normal.
Furthermore, these corpses had been disemboweled, their innards completely hollowed out. At a cursory glance, there were about forty to fifty bodies in this storage room, presenting a grotesquely horrifying scene that was truly disturbing. Even seasoned individuals like Qiu Yong and others were stunned by this sight.
Xia Yue covered her mouth, fighting back nausea, and turned away as she said, "What the hell is this place?"
Ling Chen furrowed his brows; he too wanted to figure out what experiments were being conducted in this place. Turning around, he strode out of the storeroom and said in a deep voice, "Sooner or later, we will uncover the secrets of this base."
Following the underground passage, the group cautiously advanced toward the deeper parts of the base.
After walking approximately several dozen meters, blind Yang Chen suddenly stopped and looked up, saying, "Someone is coming."
Ling Chen, fully aware of Yang Chen’s keen hearing, knew he was not mistaken, and asked, "How many people?"
"Five, based on the footsteps. They’re in the passage to the left."
Ling Chen glanced at the left corner; although the people were not yet in sight, their shadows were already cast on the wall by the light. Immediately, Ling Chen signaled everyone, and they quickly scattered, each finding a hidden corner to conceal themselves.
Before long, five researchers in white lab coats walked shoulder to shoulder into Ling Chen’s view. Watching the researchers who were about to pass by, Ling Chen’s expression subtly changed. Among them was someone he recognized.
