NOVEL NEXT Chapter 464: Relaxed and Happy
"Damn, there's actually glass here," Li Hui exclaimed.
At this moment, the sky was overcast, and it felt as if dawn was approaching.
"We must get in before daylight, or it'll be easier to be discovered," Ye Xuan said, glancing at the sky.
"But there's a glass defense system here. If we force our way in, the alarm will probably go off, and then our presence will be completely exposed," He Yalan remarked.
"Let's try my silk threads," Ye Xuan said, releasing threads from his hands again.
Ye Xuan's silk threads were extremely sharp, capable of effortlessly slicing through even chains. If he had enough threads, he might be able to cut open the glass in one go.
"Whoosh."
With a powerful jump, Ye Xuan leapt up, and as he did, countless silk threads released from his hands converged, swiftly cutting through the glass in front.
"Swish swish swish..."
Ye Xuan's silk threads made four strokes on the glass, forming a perfect rectangle.
As Li Hui and the others watched this scene with bated breath, a crisp "bang" sounded, and the glass cut by Ye Xuan's silk threads broke open, with the rectangular piece falling downwards.
Ye Xuan leapt through the rectangular hole just in time, catching the falling piece of glass with his silk threads before it hit the ground.
All set.
Ye Xuan curled his lip in a smile, then threw the glass into the nearby artificial lake, where the rectangular piece sank slowly to the bottom without making a sound.
"Come on up."
The group quickly infiltrated, and with great force, Ye Xuan cut the silk threads that had been restraining the unmanned drone.
"The drone's feed was frozen just now. Maybe someone inside has realized there's a problem and gone out to check," Tang Xuerou said to Ye Xuan.
"Even better, if they've gone out, it's the perfect time for us to go in," said Ye Xuan, holding a small knife and quickly walking to the door in front.
Behind this door is the experimental lab's fire escape, which leads directly inside.
Ye Xuan pushed open the door, and the group quickly entered the fire escape.
They encountered no trouble on their way, and just before reaching the end of the fire escape, Ye Xuan spotted two figures outside.
Ye Xuan made a gesture to stay silent, then gestured for everyone to duck down.
Following Ye Xuan's order, Li Hui and the others quickly crouched down, while Ye Xuan moved alone to the back of the fire escape door.
"Damn, can't one get some sleep? Why is there so much to deal with today?"
"Shh, do you want to die? What if someone hears you if you're any louder?"
"Scared of what? Wasn't there an issue with the drone's feed? Most people have already left."
...
Voice of two people talking came from outside. Ye Xuan stretched out his hand, opened the fire escape door slightly, and peeked outside.
In the corridor were two individuals in distinctive medical outfits. They originally wore masks on their heads, but since they had come out to smoke, they had taken them off.
Judging by the attire of the two, it did seem like they were conducting some experiment. But if they truly were medical staff conducting experiments here, why did they speak the way they did just now?
Too many suspicious points.
"Hurry up, light it for me, I'm craving it."
At this moment, one of the men urged his companion impatiently, who quickly lit a cigarette for him. They took a deep drag in the corridor, looking utterly contented.
"Hey hey, no smoking here, let's go to the fire escape."
"Oh, right, right, right."
Talking, they walked toward the fire escape while smoking.
Ye Xuan turned his face, giving Tang Xuerou and the others opposite him a signal with his eyes.
As the two men pushed open the door to the fire escape and entered, Ye Xuan's hand suddenly released a thread that snagged the two men's feet, toppling them to the ground with a "thump". In the next second, Tang Xuerou and He Yalan pinned them down.
Li Hui hopped in front of the men, raising the bow and arrow in his hand: "Behave yourselves, or I'll shoot out your eyes."
"Big brother, big sister, let's talk this out, calmly..."
These two were only about level 7, so when they saw Ye Xuan's group of high-level heavyweights, naturally, they didn't dare to confront them and quickly cowered.
Ye Xuan picked up the mask from the ground, glanced at it briefly, then his gaze fell on the two men lying there.
When the two saw Ye Xuan watching them, they licked their lips, their eyes filled with terror.
Although the level that Ye Xuan displayed was only 10, the lowest among this group, for some reason, the aura he emanated was extremely imposing, and the two men silently dared not speak.
"Are you conducting research here?" Ye Xuan asked, looking at them.
"Ah..." The two were taken aback for a moment, then nodded hastily: "Yes, yes..."
"What research?" Ye Xuan pressed on.
The two men exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, then one of them slowly began: "We're just lowly underlings, we don't know about the major research inside..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Xuan's thread sharply slashed across the talking man's thigh, causing it to split open grotesquely.
In pain and wanting to scream, the man in front was silenced by a slap from Tang Xuerou, and he could do nothing but let out a low whine from his throat.
"Don't try to be clever in front of me. If you haven't been to the lab, why are you dressed in a disinfectant suit, wearing a mask?" Ye Xuan held up the mask in his hands, his eyes showing a touch of scorn.
This group really sucks at lying.
"I'll speak, I'll tell you..." The companion, seeing his teammate's terrible wound, was terrified and quickly blurted out: "This lab was originally run by a medical team, but after the mysterious boss came, he took over here and is conducting a Parasitic Dragon experiment..."
"Parasitic Dragon?" Ye Xuan frowned.
The Parasitic Dragon was the same creature they had seen at Brother Cat's villa, with parasitic hosts producing all kinds of vile dragons within their bodies...
"Right." The man nodded.
"What happened to the medical team that was here before?" He Yalan, holding her sushi knife, brought the blade close to the man's throat.
"They were... they were..."
Seeing him stammering, He Yalan grew anxious, pressing the knife a bit harder: "Speak."
"The previous medical team seemed to be doing research on dragon infection experiments, but the experiments failed, and then someone called 'Shadow' came with us to take over this place.
