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

In the winding underground passage, there are 200-300 forks in the road every 2 to 3 meters. Near each fork, a laboratory or living area can be found within a hundred meters.

Shen Nan and Ren Linhe had been walking in these passages for more than an hour.

The two followed a simple rule: whenever they encountered a fork in the road, they would choose the leftmost path and continue forward.

During this time, they passed two somewhat abandoned residential areas and three small laboratories.

Dust covered every corner of the living area, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

In contrast, the three laboratories were cleaned spotlessly, and these laboratories contained some mutant creatures that were undergoing transformation.

The chests of some of these creatures were still rising and falling slightly, indicating that they were still breathing, albeit in a half-completed state.

In order to prevent these creatures from suddenly waking up during their search, Ren Linhe decisively killed those mutant creatures that still showed signs of life with one knife, ensuring that these creatures no longer posed a threat to them.

Shen Nan and Ren Linhe walked forward cautiously in the dim underground passage. When they came to a fork in the road again and were about to choose the left path as before, they suddenly heard the echo of voices and footsteps from deep in the left passage. The sound gradually became louder, and it was obvious that someone was approaching.

Ren Linhe quickly and decisively took Shen Nan's hand, guided him to quickly turn into the passage on the right, and find a place to hide.

Their movements were light and quick, trying not to make any noise so as not to attract unnecessary attention.

Ren Linhe pulled Shen Nan to the wall, and the two of them pressed against the cold wall, holding their breath.

In the dim corridor, several researchers in white coats walked and talked, their words revealing their indifference and contempt for the experimental subjects.

In the dark corridor of the laboratory, the footsteps of several researchers echoed, and they discussed the latest experimental progress as they walked.

"What a hassle! Wasn't the experimental subject already judged a failure and ready to be destroyed? Why are they suddenly asking to take it back?" one of them complained, his voice full of obvious dissatisfaction and confusion.

"Who knows? The doctor's ideas are always unpredictable." Another person shrugged, his voice revealing a helpless acceptance. "However, since the doctor said so, we will do it."

"By the way, speaking of this, I heard that No. 6 and No. 8 have captured several more healing psychics."

"Oh? You caught several this time?" The first person's interest was aroused, and there was a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Yes, they are said to be on their way back."

"A person with healing abilities is a rare resource. The doctor will definitely be very happy."

"Yeah, I also heard that there is a 12-year-old healing psychic among them, but unfortunately he is from Dragon Country, so he is a bit far away."

"Only 12 years old? That talent must be great."

"Hmph, so what if you have great talent? In the end, you'll still become the material for our experiments." One of them said disdainfully, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Haha, you're right. But I hope that the healing ability users caught this time can be treated well. I don't want the test subjects to collapse before the experiment even begins." Another person took over the conversation with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Don't worry, No. 14 has gone to perform another mission this time, so the experimental subjects sent back must be intact." One of them comforted, with a hint of relief in his voice.

"Okay, let's stop talking. We still have a long way to go. We have to hurry and bring Subject 484 back. If we are discovered by those guys, we will have a hard time explaining ourselves." The first man interrupted the conversation, a hint of urgency in his voice.

"What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful those rats are, is it so easy to get into the core area? The doctor has deployed dozens of level 5-6 experimental subjects to guard the periphery."

"That's true. However, it's better to be careful. Those rats are not easy to deal with." One person reminded, with a hint of caution in his voice.

The conversations between these people revealed their ruthless attitude towards the experimental subjects and their unconditional obedience to the doctor's orders. However, they did not seem to realize that the "rats" they called might be more dangerous and powerful than they imagined.

……

The figures of Shen Nan and Ren Linhe were hidden in the shadows of the right passage. They pressed against the cold wall, almost blending into the surrounding darkness.

The two men breathed slowly, their ears keenly picking up the conversation between the researchers coming from afar.

When Shen Nan heard those people talking about capturing a 12-year-old with healing abilities in Long Country, his heart suddenly tightened and he immediately thought of Yueyue.

Shen Nan's fingers unconsciously pinched the corner of Ren Linhe's clothes, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

Ren Linhe noticed Shen Nan's nervousness. He gently covered the back of Shen Nan's hand with his warm palm, then scratched it softly and rhythmically, silently comforting Shen Nan.

As the figures of the researchers gradually faded away and the light of their flashlights gradually disappeared at the end of the passage, Shen Nan finally mustered up the courage and spoke softly, "It's Yueyue."

Ren Linhe's frown relaxed a little, and his expression became a little more relaxed. He nodded gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, they said they would bring Xiaoyue here safely. When Xiaoyue arrives, we will find a way to save her."

"Yeah." Shen Nan nodded vigorously. He believed that as long as Yueyue could reach America safely, they would be able to rescue her from those people.

Then, Shen Nan said with a hint of determination: "What should we do now? Should we continue searching or kill those people first..." He did not finish his words, but made a gesture of wiping his neck.

When Ren Linhe saw Shen Nan's gestures, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. Who taught him this?

"Don't worry about them, let's continue looking for the original virus."

By listening to the footsteps of those people, Ren Linhe was able to determine that they were just ordinary humans. They had neither special powers nor were they modified mutant creatures. They did not need to waste precious time and resources on these ordinary people.

"If we get rid of these people now, it might attract unnecessary attention and alert the doctor."

Their goal is to find the original virus, which is their top priority. They need to keep a low profile and any behavior that may alert others is unwise.

After listening to Ren Linhe's words, Shen Nan nodded in understanding.

Then Ren Linhe squatted in front of Shen Nan. "Come up, I'll carry you on my back," he whispered, with a hint of unquestionable seriousness in his voice, and continued: "Ask Shen Wansan what's going on over there? There must be other people in the passage, let them be careful."

The survivors' light screen is indeed full of a strong sense of technology. It is like an iPad suspended in the air. It does not need to be carried by hand. No matter what environment the survivors are in, they can click it to view it at any time.

But even such a high-tech light curtain has its limitations.

It can only communicate through typing and lacks voice and video functions, which is particularly inconvenient when the survivors are busy fighting or dealing with emergencies.

After hearing what Ren Linhe said, Shen Nan hummed twice softly, then with light movements and a hint of excitement, he slowly lay on Ren Linhe's back.

Ren Linhe stood up steadily, supported Shen Nan's butt, and continued to move forward along the passage on the left.

Initially, when the tunnel entrance was discovered, the passage was so narrow that only one person could walk through it. However, with the establishment of residential areas and laboratories, the width of the passage has gradually increased, and now it can accommodate at least three or four people walking side by side.

Ren Linhe's steps were steady and cautious, and he was extremely careful with every step, just in case there were any dangerous creatures lurking in the dark.

Shen Nan lay steadily on Ren Linhe's broad back, his eyes focused on the light screen in front of him. With the tap of his fingers, lines of text appeared on the light screen, and he was editing messages in the team channel.

Shen Nan not only asked about the situation on Shen Wansan and Xiao Feifei's side, but also reported in detail the researchers he and Ren Linhe encountered, as well as the latest situation about Yueyue.
