Chapter 680 - 685: Trapped in the Laboratory (1)
At this moment, inside the laboratory, Ling Chen spread his arms and cautiously felt the objects around him, step by step, he moved forward, calling out Zhu Xiaozhu’s name.
However, the lab was very spacious, and visibility was extremely low due to white smoke enveloping the area. Two minutes passed, but Ling Chen still couldn’t find Zhu Xiaozhu.
At that time, smelling the pungent odor, Ling Chen suddenly felt something unusual with his body, feeling drowsy and unable to muster his energy. He shook his head and muttered to himself in surprise, wondering why he now felt unwell despite being fine just moments ago.
While he was pondering, he heard Hu Fei’s voice coming from the lab’s loudspeaker: "Ling Chen, be careful—the white smoke is aerosolized anesthetic. The greater the amount sprayed, the higher the concentration. It can easily cause people to lapse into unconsciousness. Be very careful not to get affected."
Upon hearing Hu Fei’s warning, Ling Chen finally understood.
So the white smoke contained the effects of the anesthetic, no wonder he was feeling unwell.
"Ling Chen, wait a moment, I’ve already sent someone with a gas mask for you."
As soon as Hu Fei’s voice faded, Ling Chen heard footsteps approaching from his left.
"Who’s that?" Ling Chen asked, heading towards the direction of the footsteps while reaching out his hand, "Hand it over to me."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the footsteps stop. For a long while, there was no response from the person in the white smoke. Seeing this, Ling Chen opened his mouth, ready to speak again. But before he could say anything, he heard a voice not far away, "Mr. Ling, where are you? I’ve brought the gas mask."
Hearing that voice, Ling Chen’s expression changed abruptly. He had thought the footsteps earlier were from Hu Fei’s subordinate, but now it seemed that was not the case.
With thoughts racing through his mind, Ling Chen quickly stepped back twice, staring intently at the white smoke before him, he demanded firmly, "Who are you? Speak!"
