Chapter 174 An Unusual Tranquility
These words were spoken to Chu Bai and his group, and also to themselves.
Yu Miaomiao's gentle voice pierced through the static noise of the communicator, reaching deep into Chu Bai's heart.
Although he was in the dark, his eyes were full of hope.
The other Soldiers around them were also infected by the sound. Everyone was exhausted from searching for a way out, but at this moment, they suddenly felt full of power again.
They repacked their belongings and prepared to head towards where Yu Miaomiao and his group were, planning to meet at the midpoint.
"We are gradually delving deeper, trying to find the source of the interference or any possible clues. Chu Bai, you must also remain vigilant; the unknown always comes with both opportunities and risks. If you encounter any anomalies or clues, notify us immediately, no matter how insignificant. We are each other's eyes and ears; in this isolated space, unity is our greatest weapon."
Yu Miaomiao turned around, her gaze sweeping over everyone behind her, including the arrogantDumpling on her head, which adjusted its posture at that moment and meowed in approval.
At this moment, they are not just a team, but also comrades who rely on each other and fight together against the unknown.
Just then, K's scan yielded a new insight.
"I've discovered some patterns. The failures of these electronic devices aren't entirely random; they become more severe as we approach a certain direction. I think that direction might be the source we're looking for."
Yu Miaomiao nodded, having made up her mind, "We'll meet up with Chu Bai first and get the equipment and instruments. That's our priority. Then we can explore the origins of this space."
Xu Nanwei is still in a coma. Even though she has lost Li Xiangyang, she cannot give up searching for instruments and trying to make an antidote.
Time was of the essence, and everyone nodded silently, the atmosphere thick with tension yet determination.
They began to act according to plan, taking each step cautiously, as if treading on thin ice, yet with the courage to break through it.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly bizarre.
Strange lights and shadows occasionally flashed along the sides of the corridor, as if conscious life forms were spying on them, but whenever they stopped to observe, those lights and shadows would disappear without a trace.
Dumpling's ears would prick up from time to time, and its seemingly lazy but actually keen eyes would capture every tiny change, becoming their early warning sentinels.
"We're almost there." K's voice broke the silence and ignited a spark of hope in everyone's hearts.
Ahead, a faint light pierced through the darkness—a dim light shining from behind a door.
Several people stood guard at the door, and Yu Miaomiao and Lu An pushed the door open and entered together.
The first thing you see is a laboratory with dim yellow lighting.
The instruments they wanted were neatly arranged against the wall inside the room, and they were all running at high speed...
"Something's not right, there are other people here."
If there's no one around, how could any equipment be operating in this place that's long been without water and electricity?
Yu Miaomiao's gaze quickly swept across every corner of the laboratory. An unusual stillness filled the air, a stark contrast to the buzzing instruments.
She lowered her voice and said to the others, "Be careful, we don't know if the people here are friend or foe."
K entered the room first, walked to a darker corner, and turned on a brighter spotlight, instantly illuminating the entire room.
There are no abnormalities at the moment, but the absence of abnormalities only makes people more suspicious.
