Chapter 230 Lake Research Institute
In the dark night, the vast Shijiu Lake appears eerily calm under the starlight, with the breeze stirring up slight ripples.

The Infinity, which had just rushed out of the strange tide that erupted at Hengshan Pass, was quietly parked on the track by the lake. The night wind was cold, the temperature in the Yunjiang Plain began to drop, and white mist began to emerge from the connection between the carriages.

Inside the carriage, the lights were dimming and people were constantly walking in the corridor.

In carriage No. 5 and the defense carriage behind it, many people were loading and unloading bullets. The PX-12 engineering robot in carriage No. 05 was busy laying the ammunition supply chain for the 1130 weapon station.

Shuqin and Dalou brought people to check the condition of each carriage.

In carriage No. 3, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, which had absorbed the smoke from the black centipede, emitted a faint glow, and dots of red began to appear in the stamens.

"The Dark Mark has begun to appear."

Ding Junyi carefully observed the changes in Hell Black Chrysanthemum and said to Lin Xian behind him: "From the reactions of the survivors at the station, no one really recognizes or understands the fact that humans will be marked."

"It's not that you don't approve of this matter, but that you don't approve of me."

Lin Xian said, "In the apocalypse, trust between people is already weak, so I want to pass this message through the Phoenix Society."

Ding Junyi responded coldly: "The mark cannot effectively quantify the threat value at present, nor can it be expressed in a concrete way through other methods. In simple terms, we can currently use the red light of the disaster plant to assess the intensity of the next attack, but even if others know, it is difficult to prevent it."

Lin Xian nodded: "The most important thing is to learn to judge the threat of dark creatures and take up arms to resist. Everyone knows that blindly escaping is doomed to failure, and the sparks of resistance will rise."

"To put it nicely, it means burning your boats. To put it bluntly, even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered."

Ding Junyi looked up at Lin Xian: "Interestingly, this may give us more options for escaping eastward."

"Are you saying we should kill or flee?"

"Yes."

Lin Xian did not comment: "I am worried that if the dark mark has a quantified threat value, even if I escape from the pursuit of a powerful weird entity, the next one I face may not be that easy. Unfortunately, judging from the bait marked at the station, this should be true."

Seeing that Lin Xian seemed a little pessimistic, Ding Junyi said, "Science should not be rigid, but your idea is more rigid than the textbook. We were marked in the climbing channel, and after arriving in Jiazhou City, we encountered only a large number of strange bodies besieging us. This shows that although the marks have strengths and weaknesses, they are also related to whether there are powerful predators lurking in this jungle."

Lin Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said sadly: "Hey, you are right."

Ding Junyi raised her glasses and asked, "Is this why you came to see me?"

Lin Xian coughed lightly and said, "No, in addition to looking at the dark mark we have been stained with, I am also going to investigate the research institute."

"Do you need me to follow you?" Ding Junyi said directly.

Lin Xian nodded: "I will arrange for a robot to go in and investigate first. If the danger level is not high..."

"Don't ask me to go if the danger level is not high." Ding Junyi said seriously: "You know, I prefer..."

"Ok, I know."

Lin Xian understood immediately and quickly turned back to carriage No. 1, preparing to let KIKI operate the PX05 robot and cooperate with the drone to explore the internal situation of the SIID Foundation laboratory.

Woo~
Two drones flew out from the roof of the car. At the same time, the hardworking PX05 robot also flew out from the door of car No. 11 and flew quickly towards the damaged ceiling of the test site under the control of KIKI.

"Eh, that's weird~"

In the information center of Carriage 2, KIKI looked at the monitoring screen in front of him, frowned while controlling the robot and said, "Why is there no one here?"

"You can't see it from the outside. You have to go into the underground research institute." Lin Xian said at this time

"But it does seem like a large-scale evacuation has taken place..." Chen Sixuan looked at the screen in confusion.

"No way."

KIKI looked suspicious: "Such a large research institute, could it be that they just vacated it and ran away just because we came to them?"

Lin Xian slapped her on the forehead: "Focus."

"Ouch~"

KIKI glared at Lin Xian fiercely, then focused on operating the robot. The drone looked from high in the sky and saw that the Qingshui Town test site was deserted. The PX05 robot slowly entered through the passage that Lin Xian had come out of before. The originally busy laboratories, various research rooms, and corridors in the picture were now empty.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian's expression became more serious: "This is strange, could it be that what you, a silly girl, said was right?"

It is really strange that an organization that can capture large strange entities for experimental research is deserted for no reason, but when he says it is because of Lin Xian, even he himself does not believe it.

However, looking at the situation in front of him, Lin Xian began to have some ideas.

"It looks like we have to go in and see the situation ourselves."

"Will there be an ambush?" Sasha at the side asked at this time.

"We started before the ambush, and our purpose is to find them, so it doesn't matter." Lin Xian showed a cold face and started to call the troops directly: "Dalou, Huoge, Shuqin, Xiaoniu and Director Ding come with me, and the others will guard the car."

At this time, Lu Xingchen winked at Lin Xian. Lin Xian walked over, but saw Lu Xingchen approaching him with a strange look and whispered to him:
"Brother Lin, can you arrange for me to guard the car tonight?"

Lin Xian frowned and looked at him: "Why, you don't want to go?"

Lu Xingchen glanced at the research institute on the screen in front of KIKI intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a deep voice: "I'm ashamed, I just have some resistance to this kind of claustrophobic underground place."

Lin Xian nodded when he heard this: "Okay, then you guard the car."

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Lu Xingchen responded. Lin Xian didn't say much. He knew that Lu Xingchen was not the kind of person who was afraid of death. He probably had some reasons for not wanting to go. Lin Xian didn't ask any more questions, so he took Dalou Shuqin, KIKI and Ding Junyi out of the car together.

The main reason why Lin Xian brought Ding Junyi along this time was that he wanted to see what this research institute was researching on a regular basis, and whether there were any useful scientific research instruments that he could get on board.

snort~
The cockpit door opened, and Lin Xian got out of the car with several main forces, preparing to return to the foundation research institute for investigation.

As soon as I got off the car, a damp and cold night lake breeze blew in my face.

Ding Junyi followed behind. Although it was night and they were about to explore a dangerous organization's location, she still followed behind with her hands in her pockets and a calm expression. Her expression was as simple as if she was preparing to attend a scientific seminar.

Lin Xian was a little worried, so he signaled to Shu Qin on the way and asked her to keep an eye on the scientist in the car.

Although the inconspicuous green grass seedling on Ding Junyi's head indicated that she might have superpowers, for now, in Lin Xian's eyes, Director Ding was still a person with zero combat effectiveness.

Five people drove up in a car. Because there was no platform, KIKI used her supernatural power to move the off-road vehicle down directly. Then Lin Xian drove the car, and the group drove towards the collapsed forest.

Along the way, Lin Xian noticed that there were many vehicles on the ground, and even traces of docked aircraft, as well as a large number of empty equipment boxes, discarded documents, etc., scattered all over the ground.

"It seems that their retreat was very urgent." Shuqin was very good at observing details. At this time, she said: "Although there was some confusion, it didn't seem like they encountered any strange entity, because there was no sign of exchange of fire and no corpses."

Ding Junyi sat by the window, looking at the mess outside and said, "Abandoning such a large research institute must have been a determined move. Perhaps they sensed some crisis in advance, such as some terrifying lake monster appearing in the lake and eating up the research institute at night."

After saying this, Lin Xian almost threw the steering wheel out.

"Hey, Sister Ding, don't scare us." KIKI looked at Ding Junyi, who was always trying to shock people, with a surprised look on her face: "If that's the case, then aren't we all doomed?"

"Not necessarily," Ding Junyi said seriously, "With your abilities, one or two should be able to survive."

Lin Xian: …

After driving through the damaged curtain wall, the SUV stopped in a place similar to an indoor parking lot. At this time, this underground research institute still had a power system and many passages were still lit.

Five people got out of the car with alert expressions, and a smell of emptiness overwhelmed the air.

Huhu~
The wide corridor was in a mess, and there was a constant breeze blowing out from the basement. Ding Junyi followed behind a few people and said, "It may be that lake water has poured in from the underground, causing the air flow below to blow out. We have to pay attention to the flooding when we go down."

"Yeah." Lin Xian knew that this research institute was built by the lake and there was a black water test site underground, so it must be connected to Shijiu Lake.

If lake water flows in, it means that the underground structure is damaged.

"Sure enough." KIKI walked to an information screen in the corridor, which showed evacuation information: "The system notified that the 11th and 12th underground floors have been flooded. It seems that they may have evacuated for this reason."

Several people explored inside and found that there was no one inside or outside the foundation research institute. Because the power system was still running, KIKI directly picked up the mobile terminal and began to access the internal system of the research institute.

"The internal system has been self-destructed and cancelled. Only the basic system is left to maintain the operation of the base. Hey, Qingshui Town Test Site..."

KIKI was getting more and more frightened the more he looked at the mobile terminal. He immediately trotted over and took it to Lin Xian: "Lin Xian, look quickly, the access control for many test sites in the system that are used to contain experimental subjects has failed, and there is also a problem with the isolation device between the test site area and the internal office area."

Lin Xian frowned: "In other words, those monsters they imprisoned may have escaped?"

"It must be!" KIKI shrank his neck, looked suspiciously at the wide research areas around him, and said worriedly: "In other words, the things we encountered in the Qingshui Town test site are likely to have run into here."

Boom!
At this moment, an air current rising from underground blew the door of a laboratory shut, making a loud bang. The sound echoed in the empty and deserted research institute, which was a bit creepy.

Zizi~The lights in the corridor flickered in unison due to unstable voltage, making the atmosphere inside begin to become a little gloomy.

Feeling the chill, the building raised the Roarer K23 electric minigun in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

"Captain Lin, what did you encounter here?" Shu Qin asked.

"Something that doesn't look like a human or a zombie." Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "I think it was made by the Foundation. There must be some weird entities among them. I have seen a big one in a big pool before."

Ding Junyi frowned slightly when she heard this: "Has the biological research level here been able to develop variants?"

"I'm just guessing, I'm not sure." Lin Xian said.

After that, they had already arrived at the underground elevator. The elevator was still functioning normally. Lin Xian said to KIKI, "I remember we saw the large supernatural research hall on the 9th floor, right?"

KIKI nodded, swiping the mobile terminal in his hand: "Yes, if you are looking for the medical cabin, it should be in..."

Ding Junyi looked at the screen in her hand and said directly, "The 7th floor, the clinical experiment floor, should be here. Whether it is used for human experiments or something else, there will be this kind of full-effect life surgical medical cabin, which is very efficient in treating bone injuries and trauma. It can also scan the original DNA sequence and use the Sheta pulse to actively repair cells. The treatment of general diseases does not exceed 5 minutes. The only problem is that it is expensive and requires the use of Sheta stone prepared by refining the Tawo rare earth. This thing has extremely high radioactivity."

Shuqin looked at her meaningfully and said, "Poor people have only heard of this thing on TV. It's said that it only takes 30 minutes to treat leukemia, but it costs 300 million."

"Yes." Ding Junyi said: "The train is powered by a Gemini nuclear power system, which can support the operation of this equipment. If there is this medical system on the train, we basically don't need to equip medical personnel. However, this kind of equipment is very delicate and easy to damage, so we must take protective measures."

Lin Xian was a little confused when he heard this. He had never thought that the medical cabin was so complicated and involved radiation issues.

"Let's go and take a look first. These are issues we need to worry about later. Just like Director Ding said, such expensive equipment may have been moved away."

Hey~
Lin Xian pressed the elevator button and the elevator door opened. At this moment, everyone's faces suddenly changed.

A strong fishy smell hit me in the face. The elevator was now filled with body parts and pieces of flesh. Blood plasma had almost dyed the inner walls of the elevator red. A large number of corpses inside were still bright red, as if they had just died not long ago.

"Are these the researchers down there?" KIKI took a few steps back, frowning at the scene. She noticed some Foundation researchers' uniforms and immediately asked, "What are we seeing down there?!"

Lin Xian took a quick look and frowned, saying, "It seems that the test subject I raised ate the breeder."
