Chapter 167 Where Did Everyone from The Nineteenth Institute Go?
"That day, as usual, after I finished extracting the genetic samples from the mutated organism, on my way back to the lab to test the samples, a riot broke out in the institute. Many people rushed in, saying there was a flood..."
Yu Miaomiao thought of a dam near The Nineteenth Institute. In most places, the water level rose gradually at the beginning of the natural disaster, but here, the dam might break and cause a sudden flood.
Let's go back to the Nineteenth Institute at that time.
Dr. Li went against the flow of people to see what was happening, but he found the research institute in chaos, with people fleeing in panic.
Lin Xiaoyue stood helplessly at the entrance of The Nineteenth Institute, blocking the glass door that was about to be washed away by the flood. She told Dr. Li that the flood had breached the dam and would soon submerge the entire institute.
"Please help me, please help me."
Lin Xiaoyue pleaded loudly for someone to help her hold the door open, but everyone was frantically running upstairs and no one stopped for her.
Dr. Li resolutely put down the sample in his hand and went up to help Lin Xiaoyue hold the glass door open.
The water level kept rising... clearly, the situation was beyond human control to reverse.
"Xiaoyue, let's go, let's run..."
Dr. Li wanted to give up on this place, as the room behind him was full of mutated creatures that were imprisoned. But at this moment, human lives were at stake, and he couldn't care less about those animals.
Lin Xiaoyue, that silly girl, has no evil in her genes at all. She shook her head stubbornly, "No, I can't abandon them."
Her eyes were firm, revealing an indomitable determination.
She was indeed the most perfect human being, unafraid of death and disdainful of life. However, such perfection seemed a bit excessive.
At that moment, the floodwaters surged in like a ferocious beast, and the two men's strength seemed insignificant. Seeing the glass door about to shatter, Dr. Li was frantic with worry.
"It'll be too late if we don't leave now!" he roared, letting go of the handle and running upstairs first.
However, Lin Xiaoyue remained steadfast, gripping the door tightly and refusing to let go.
Just then, a huge wave crashed in, shattering the glass door and flooding the research institute.Lin Xiaoyue was swept away by the current and disappeared in the flood.
Dr. Li was shocked. He tried to find Lin Xiaoyuein the waves, but everything was swallowed up by the current.
As the floodwaters rose higher and higher, Dr. Lihad no choice but to evacuate to the upper floors.
Dr. Li looked down at the raging torrent below, his heart filled with regret and self-reproach.
"I should have forcibly taken her away..."
He muttered to himself.
But now, it's all too late.
He turned and followed the others upstairs, hoping to find a safe place.
When they finally reached the rooftop, Dr. Lisaw the scene in the distance— most of the area around The Nineteenth Institute was flooded and in ruins.
He secretly vowed to himself that he must survive this disaster, find Lin Xiaoyue, or at least find out where she was.
In the days that followed, Dr. Li and the other survivors worked together to survive, waiting for rescue to arrive.
They faced challenges such as food shortages, disease, and harsh environments, and naturally, those who controlled resources became the new masters.
The new order at The Nineteenth Institute is in the hands of a security guard named Zhang Dafu.
"He's a real scoundrel... He eats people alive."
Dr. Li felt a churning in his stomach and turned pale as he recalled this.
