Chapter 1371: Do Something before Leaving

After hearing what Professor Bai said, Si Kongchen stayed silent for two seconds and then said, “So, we’re gonna have to wait for another half a month to take action?”

Professor Bai nodded and said, “The zombie virus drug that I gave you has an incubation period of five to seven days. So, you can take action in ten days. About half a month after that, the drug will start to kick in and the underground creatures will start launching attacks at the same time. Facing those two problems at one time, I bet even Wu Chengyue will be caught off-guard.”

Lin Qiao heard their conversation expressionlessly as she figured that Professor Bai might have been studying underground creatures since a very long time ago. The experimental subjects in his lab were larger than the ones in the labs near the entrance, meaning that they were at higher levels.

She had also learned something else from their conversation, that large numbers of underground creatures had been upgrading on the earth’s surface, and after the upgrade, their bodies would go through some kind of changes. They might not attack human bases if they were merely hungry. They ate anything after all. But, why were Si Kongchen and Professor Bai so sure that they would attack human bases?

Lin Qiao spent a while thinking and then something crossed her mind.

If she guessed right, Professor Bai and Si Kongchen planned to use something to lure those starving underground creatures to the other human bases. After all, each base had hundreds of thousands of population. Every human base could serve as a rich source of food for those underground creatures. However, someone needed to gather them together and guide them to the human bases.

That was probably a part of their plan. Lin Qiao didn’t read about it in Si Kongchen’s proposal earlier though. Apparently, they had already done it. Currently, they were only waiting for the result to show.

As Professor Bai didn’t reject his suggestion this time, Si Kongchen relaxed slightly and said, “The underground creatures gathered near the bases are about to finish upgrading. Let’s wait and see which base will be attacked first.”

They didn’t stop walking while speaking as they walked into Professor Bai’s office together, with Lin Qiao following them in. While listening to their conversation, she looked around at the office. There were some files on Professor Bai’s desk, but sadly, none of them was open, so she couldn’t read a word.

She glanced at those files, trying to think of a way to find the database of the experimental base. She intended to find out what kind of experiments Professor Bai had been carrying out.

After Si Kongchen left, Professor Bai didn’t stay in his office but left and headed back to his lab.

Lin Qiao stayed in his office alone, collecting the files. She did not only take all the files on his desk, but also emptied the file cabinet near the desk.

As for the locks of the cabinets, she melted them using her superpower. After throwing every useful thing in the office into her space, she started looking for the database. She was sure that a secret database was hidden in Professor Bai’s office. After all, he wouldn’t possibly put those confidential files right on his desk or in the main database of the lab.

The room was filled with Professor Bai’s scent, through which she found the place where Professor Bai kept the confidential files.

That place wasn’t too hard to find anyway: it was under his chair, underneath the floor. Lin Qiao squatted and looked closely at the floor in that area, finding it to be a little too clean. She knocked on it and as she thought, it was hollow.

She pressed a hand on the floor and gathered her power in her palm. Soon, the floor was gone, and the stairs leading downward were exposed.

The staircase wasn’t long; about three meters underground was a small door. Lin Qiao devoured the door using her power and then saw the space behind it. Thankfully, the door wasn’t connected with the security system of the entire lab, so the alarm didn’t go off.

It was all dark in the space, but Lin Qiao was able to see everything in it.

It was a secret room, with stacks of files placed on a cabinet on one side. A lot of glass jars were also found in the room; some organs were soaked in unknown liquids inside those jars .

The room looked like a place for storing specimens belonging to a sick scientist.

Lin Qiao quickly glanced at those organ specimens. There were labels on each jar, indicating what kind of creatures the organs came from.

After checking all of those jars, Lin Qiao lost her interest in them. She turned and walked to the file cabinet, finding the files divided by types and marked with years. She expressionlessly touched them and put them all into her space.

After collecting all those files, she turned and left the secret underground room.

Professor Bai, who had returned to his lab, had no idea that most of his cherished research materials had been harvested by someone else. He was observing his experimental subject with composure, having no clue what was going to happen to him next.

After leaving the old man’s office, Lin Qiao started observing the entire experimental base. She visited every zone like a ghost; no one knew about her existence.

She found the place to not be small at all. Based on the map in the hallway, she roughly figured out how large it was. The place was divided into three floors, with a total area of thirty or forty thousand square meters.

She was on the first floor underground, and there were two other floors underneath. Lin Qiao looked at the two lower floors on the map and suddenly wore a wicked smile. After that, she turned and headed downstairs. She made her way into that experimental base, so she intended to do something before leaving. Her journey there would be in vain if she didn’t do anything. After all, she was the leader of their enemy!

Thinking that, she went down through the fire escape. What was kept on the second floor were living experimental subjects, and on the third floor were frozen subjects. The frozen ones were all dangerous creatures.

Lin Qiao went straight down to the third floor, reached out a hand, and made the door in front of her disappear. Next, she raised both arms and released a raging dark fire.

With that, shrill alarms instantly echoed through the entire underground experimental base.
