National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

As Ren Linhe, Shen Nan and their group stepped into the outer area of the research institute, they first entered the reception area, which should have been a bright and busy space, but now it was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Areas such as offices, meeting areas, information rooms and libraries all seem unusually quiet, as if time has stopped here.

As soon as Shen Nan stepped into the research institute, he felt an indescribable heaviness.

The light in the room was dim, as if shrouded by an invisible haze, giving people a gloomy feeling.

The sunlight barely penetrated through a few broken windows, casting mottled spots of light on the floor of the corridor, which were particularly dazzling in the dim environment.

The corridor had an air of old age, and the paint on the walls had peeled off, revealing the cement underneath.

There seemed to be a lingering smell of some chemical substances in the air, which made people frown.

Despite this, Ren Linhe, Shen Nan and his team did not slow down, because the deeper they went into the research institute, the greater the hidden dangers.

They must remain alert and ready to respond to any situation that may arise.

Although the mutants in the outer areas of the institute have allegedly been eliminated by survivors from other countries, this sense of security is not complete.

In this shadow-shrouded research institute, there are always some corners that the sunlight cannot reach, and some hidden gaps and dark corners may still hide undiscovered threats.

There was a stale smell in the air, mixed with a faint smell of blood, which made people frown.

The mottled bloodstains on the wall looked like horrific abstract paintings, which were particularly glaring in the dim light.

The bloodstains had long since dried up and turned dark brown, but they still clearly showed the horror of the zombie attack on the research institute a year ago.

Walking through the corridors, the broken glass, scattered documents and some unrecognizable debris on the ground all silently tell the panic and despair of that day.

The doors of some offices were open, and the scenes inside were even more shocking.

The chairs and tables were overturned on the ground, covered with scratches and blood, as if one could see the researchers at the time struggling for survival in desperation.

As Ren Linhe, Shen Nan and their team went deeper into the research institute, their footsteps echoed in the empty corridors, and each step seemed particularly clear.

The few of them walked through the reception area, offices, and data rooms. The chaotic scenes in these places were chilling. They carefully bypassed the wreckage and continued along the corridor until they reached the end of the corridor.

There was a heavy door there that looked very solid, as if it was the last barrier leading to the core area of the institute.

Ren Linhe stopped and said to Shen Nan and the others in a gentle but serious voice: "After passing through this door, we will truly enter the interior of the institute. The mutants inside have not been completely eliminated. We may encounter mutant creatures above level five at any time, so everyone must remain vigilant at all times and do not take it lightly."

Shen Wansan and Xiao Feifei exchanged glances and gestured to indicate that they understood Ren Linhe's warning.

Shen Nan followed closely behind Ren Linhe and nodded heavily. Although he himself could not play any role, as long as they encountered mutants, he would release Fanfan as soon as possible.

Ren Linhe took a deep breath and then pushed open the heavy door with force.

As the door slowly opened, an unknown breath poured out from the crack of the door, bringing with it a hint of chill.

Ren Linhe took the lead and walked into the gate, leading Shen Nan, Shen Wansan and Xiao Feifei into the core area of the research institute.

Since the institute's power system had been paralyzed, sunlight could not penetrate into these enclosed spaces, and the interior of the institute was plunged into darkness.

But this was not a problem for the four of them.

Their beastly form grants them the ability to see clearly even in the dark, allowing them to maintain keen observation in such an environment.

Although they have not encountered any attacks from mutants yet, they still remain highly vigilant.

Unknown dangers may be hidden behind every corner and every door.

After passing through the first corridor, they finally reached the inner area of the research institute. A distinct sense of contrast suddenly came to them.

The environment here is obviously not as messy as outside. Everything seems to be in order, as if time has stopped here.

The door of the laboratory was closed. Although the signs in the corridor were a little crooked, the names of the various departments could still be recognized.

Looking at the rows of laboratories and offices in front of them, Ren Linhe, Shen Nan and others had no intention of entering these offices to search.

Through the half-open doors or broken windows, one could see the devastation inside the room.

The equipment on the test bench had been roughly moved, drawers had been opened, and documents and experimental records were scattered all over the floor. It was obvious that the survivors who had entered here before had searched these places over and over again in search of clues or valuable items.

The target of their trip was the deepest core area of the institute, which was the heart of the institute and the place where the virus stock samples were most likely to be stored.

The core area is the most heavily guarded and most concentrated place for mutants in the entire Amena Research Institute.

To reach the core area of the institute, they must pass through the maze-like corridors and office areas.

These areas were once where scientific researchers worked busily, but now they have become places where advanced mutants lurk.

It is the existence of these advanced mutants that is the main reason why survivor teams from other countries have failed to successfully enter the core area.

It is not known whether these advanced mutants are due to virus mutation or long-term evolution in the special environment of the research institute, which makes their levels rise so quickly.

Just as they stepped into a new area of the laboratory, suddenly, Ren Linhe heard a slight buzzing sound in his ears, as if some small thing was flying.

Ren Linhe immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly. The others also noticed the unusual sound and stopped to carefully check every corner around them.

But when they looked carefully, they found no trace of any flying creatures, no outline of insects flapping their wings, and no small animals moving quickly.

As the few people listened carefully, the buzzing sound quickly disappeared, as suddenly as it appeared.

At this moment, a clear and loud "pop" sound came from the corridor behind them, breaking the silence in the institute.

Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of blood began to spread in the air.

The smell was strong and sickening, as if fresh blood had been spilled somewhere in the corridor.

"Be careful, a mutant is coming." Ren Linhe warned in a low voice, his voice revealing a seriousness that allowed for questioning.
