Cultivating Through The Game

"Beep beep beep~"

A black phone rang with an alert, and Lu Yu casually turned on the phone.

"Quickly reinforce the underground research facility, assist Gudao Machine in suppressing the chaos in the underground research facility, and protect the researchers and the data of the underground research facility."

The location of the underground research facility was already displayed on his phone, not far from his home, only six kilometers in a straight line.

Su Peng glanced at the phone in Lu Yu's hand, stood up, and said, "I should get back to business too, let's chat next time."

"Hmm, if there's a chance, I'd like to visit the ruins," Lu Yu said.

"I see..." Su Peng thought for a moment, then said, "If you really want to go, you can go to Jiangling Gudao County, and call me when you arrive."

Jiangling Gudao County, Lu Yu silently memorized this key location in his heart.

After Su Peng left, Lu Yu didn't waste any time either, heading in the direction of the underground research facility, searching for the location of Gudao County on his phone while walking, only to find that the place Su Peng mentioned didn't exist on the map at all.

"What's going on?" Lu Yu was very surprised.

If Su Peng didn't want him to go to that place, he could have simply refused or used another excuse to avoid it. There was no need to make up a fake place name to deceive him.

Excluding the possibility of a fake place name, it only left the option that Gudao County might be somewhat special and thus wouldn't show on the map, so he couldn't find it there.

Clenching his phone and staring at the outline of Jiangling on the map, "Looks like I'll have to go there myself to find Gudao County."

Returning his focus, Lu Yu had already arrived near the underground research facility, where the ground-level building was a technology museum.

If it weren't for the red dot on the map indicating it was here, Lu Yu wouldn't have guessed that an underground research facility was hidden beneath the technology museum.

He circled around the technology museum, and in the street opposite to it, he saw fully armed soldiers. Lu Yu landed in front of them, and a few quickly raised their guns to aim at the suddenly appearing Lu Yu.

Upon seeing Lu Yu's identification and the badge on his arm, they lowered their guns and let Lu Yu enter the building behind them.

On the surface, the underground research facility was beneath the science museum, but the entrance and exit were on a street several hundred meters away from the technology museum.

Arriving at the third underground level, a massive steel door was installed on the wall here; the steel door had already been dismantled, lying on the ground weighing several tons. The entrance had established a defensive line with soldiers aiming their guns at the emergency passage.

All the soldiers were not allowed to enter the underground research facility because Gudao Machine feared they might be controlled by the monster that could use Spiritual Power, only taking a few soldiers who were also Martial Cultivators deep into the underground research facility.

Glancing at the deep passage, Lu Yu put away his phone and walked into the emergency passage.

Not long after Lu Yu entered, another man also walked into the emergency passage of the underground research facility.

Not far ahead, Lu Yu saw the site of a previous battle, with cracks and upturned metal everywhere on the walls and floor. Bloodstains dyed the corridor red, and several unprocessed bodies lay on the ground.

Traces of vomit could be seen around, likely from someone who couldn't help but throw up after witnessing the horror here.

Lu Yu stepped forward, walking on the air twenty centimeters off the ground, crossing over the chaotic and bloody battlefield.

Beep beep beep~ The phone rang, and an internal map of the underground research facility appeared on the black phone, with the entrance to the underground research facility clearly marked, though Lu Yu no longer needed it.

It seemed that those on the other side hadn't expected Lu Yu to move so quickly; even the speed of sending messages couldn't keep up with his pace in finding his way.

However, the map was still useful; at the very least, Lu Yu could know where he was and where he was going from it.

"The mission is to assist Gudao Machine, suppress the chaos, and protect the researchers and research data."

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu looked at the red-marked area on the map, which was the monster's activity area, where he played hide-and-seek with Gudao Machine.

"Why bother with so much trouble? Just solve the threatening creature, and without threats, the researchers and data will naturally be safe!"

Lu Yu headed towards the red-marked area on the map, and when he got close to it, his phone emitted a static noise. It was the short-range call function built into his black phone, equivalent to a walkie-talkie with strong anti-interference abilities.

"This is Gudao Machine, I've now reached the research hall. All reinforcement personnel should prioritize rescuing survivors."

Lu Yu ignored him, expanding his senses to find the source of the chaos.

Solving the dangerous elements is equivalent to rescuing the survivors, isn't it?

Compared to rescuing people, Lu Yu was still more skilled in combat.

As he walked along, Lu Yu saw destroyed laboratories, guards and researchers lying on the ground, scattered equipment and documents, and discovered a few moving meat worms. These meat worms seemed to have eyes and could see Lu Yu.

The reason for saying they seemed to have eyes was that Lu Yu didn't see any eyes on them. The meat worms only had a circular grinder-like mouth and were covered in red, muscle-like flesh without any eye-like organs.

All the discovered meat worms were exterminated. For Lu Yu, these meat worms were very weak but were also dangerous elements. Eliminating the dangerous elements was equivalent to rescuing the survivors, a principle Lu Yu adhered to.

The demon-man paused his actions, his brows furrowed. He sensed his planted meat worm surveillance units being killed.
