Chapter 543: Complete Collapse
Ye Chen quickly ran over, then opened and took a glance, as expected, the refrigerator was empty with an especially made box inside, but he could tell that the box was meant for storing something.
Ye Chen simply picked up the box, then casually threw it to the side.
At this moment, he noticed a black plastic bag underneath. The plastic bag appeared bulging, seemingly filled with some kind of mysterious substance.
Ye Chen carefully lifted it, but it was unclear what was inside.
Because it was opaque packaging, he could only feel that there was a pasty substance inside, which could be kneaded by hand.
"How is it, did you find anything?"
Anying saw that he had been standing in front of a refrigerator for a long time, so he ran over and asked.
Ye Chen reached out, then placed the item in Anying's hands.
"If I'm not mistaken, the things they took from that box earlier, they must have all come from this refrigerator. This proves that they stored some very important experimental materials, which are now all exposed."
"That's right, I carefully checked just now. There are some potions on the experiment table that I could still recognize. There's also a large bucket which should contain Formalin."
"Formalin? Isn't that used for preserving corpses?"
"It is indeed used for bodies. Look over there, in that corner, there's a large pool, and moreover, there are some black stains in the pool. I knew that bodies must have been stored here for a long time."
"It's truly horrifying, it's just a pity that all the items have been taken away by them."
"No, isn't the thing in your hand left behind? And this box, it should be very useful for us too."
While talking, Anying bended down, and then picked up the box from the spot Ye Chen had mentioned.
Ye Chen felt confused. At first, he thought that these things had lost their use to them, having no effect whatsoever.
But why did it seem like these items all of a sudden could be of certain use in Anying's view?
"Is there any use for this box? Isn't this just an ordinary box? I mean, it isn't particularly different in a strict sense, is it?"
"Let me tell you, this kind of box..."
Unexpectedly, before Anying could finish, they suddenly felt as if the place began to shake like the earth was splitting apart.
The whole room began to shake violently, and the frequency of the shaking grew faster and faster.
Anying only looked back for a moment, then frowned tightly, so without a thought, he reached out his hand and grabbed Ye Chen tightly.
The two ran crazily outside.
"Sure enough, they've already activated the self-destruction mechanism here. So, let's hurry, and usually, such devices have a time sensor. In about a minute, the whole place will collapse."
While running, Anying explained the situation to him. Ye Chen said nothing because he knew the only way to escape was for Anying to lead him out.
From this place, the two of them ran along the path straight forward, and after reaching the front hall, Anying stopped here, then laid flat on the ground, seemingly searching for something.
"Anying, what are you doing?"
"I told you, there's a special device here, so this device is hidden below. Don't worry, I'm quite familiar with this, so we should be able to find it. Don't panic."
While saying not to panic, how could Ye Chen not be anxious? Now, with such a commotion in front of him, and not being able to easily solve it, who could really be calm inside?
As Ye Chen waited, he continuously looked back, seeing things starting to fall from the ceiling in the hall, and the speed and size of the falling debris growing larger and larger.
"Anying, hurry and get out."
Suddenly, he looked up and saw a huge crystal chandelier directly above him crashing down. Fortunately, Ye Chen was quick enough to pull Anying aside.
The moment he was pushed aside, the crystal chandelier crashed down into pieces on the floor.
One can imagine, if Anying was actually still in there, that would have been a matter of life and death.
"Quick, over here."
He didn't expect to have no chance to catch his breath when he saw a large slab of stone falling from directly above him.
Luckily, Ye Chen was fast enough, but it would have been a hassle if he had to keep pulling him all by himself.
"Okay, I've seen it."
Right at that moment, Anying suddenly shouted excitedly because they cleanly saw a board in front of them that had sunk down.
Moreover, they could clearly see that after the floorboard collapsed, it didn't blend with the surroundings at all. Beneath it, there must be a more spacious area.
"Quick, jump in while there's time."
While speaking, Anying pulled on Ye Chen's hand, and then the two of them jumped down from that spot.
After jumping down, they crawled forward through the passage and saw that everything around them was metallic. As Anying mentioned, it was just the right size for a person to pass through.
They heard a loud noise from behind, and then Ye Chen subconsciously looked back. He saw that it had become pitch-black, and a wave of dust had filled the air.
He could guess that the moment they had jumped in, the entire cave had completely collapsed, so the entrance no longer existed.
Now, the only thing they could do was to crawl through this air duct and get out.
