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

Chi Wenxiao came back to his senses from his confusion, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly touched and operated the light curtain.

His fingers moved quickly on the light curtain, and every movement revealed his inner eagerness and excitement.

Until his eyes were fixed on the map of the team channel, where two red dots were shown, showing him and his sister Chi Wenjing. They were almost overlapping, and their location was exactly inside this laboratory.

Chi Wenxiao's voice trembled, his face full of unconcealed excitement, and he said, "My sister is here!"

Shen Nan moved closer and scanned the light curtain, noticing the two closely connected red dots and the directions they indicated.

Ren Linhe gently waved the Hanyue Knife in his hand, and the blade flashed a cold light in the air, "You guys move aside first."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nan gently pulled Chi Wenxiao and asked him to step back a little to make some space for Ren Linhe to move.

Although Chi Wenxiao was still excited, he also realized what was about to happen, so he cooperated and took a few steps back.

Seeing that there was enough space, Ren Linhe raised the Hanyue Sword without hesitation, aimed at the laboratory door, and chopped it down with force.

Under the powerful blow of the purple-quality weapon, the door of the laboratory was easily split in half like fragile paper.

The door of the laboratory collapsed with a loud bang. The sound was deafening and echoed for a long time in the narrow corridor.

However, what is puzzling is that despite the loud sound, no scientific researchers appeared.

Shen Nan couldn't help but wonder, this underground passage was so spacious, were there only a few researchers there? Or did they realize that the situation was not good and had already retreated in advance?

As the door was broken, the original isolation was broken, and the sound of the instruments running inside the laboratory and the regular ticking sound began to echo in the empty corridor.

These sounds seemed unusually clear in the silent space, as if they had found an echo in the emptiness, making each ticking sound particularly real.

Chi Wenxiao stared at the instructions on the map and rushed into the laboratory eagerly, followed by Shen Nan.

After all, with the previous experience of Chi Wenxiao, Shen Nan didn't think Chi Wenjing could be safe and sound, and now he urgently needed his help with treatment.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Shen Nan's attention was immediately attracted by the large experimental table in the center, which almost occupied the core of the entire space.

On the spacious experimental table, there lay a huge creature, covered by a thick layer of ice. The head and limbs of the creature were gone, leaving only the torso.

Various sophisticated scientific instruments were placed around the experimental table, and their pipes and tubes were intricately connected to the frozen creature.

These tubes seem to be extracting some unknown substance from the organism, and their specific purpose is puzzling.

In a corner of the laboratory, there are three compact cubicles hidden away.

Chi Wenxiao stood in front of the door of one of the small compartments, his eyes fixed on the inside of the room. He seemed to be deeply attracted by the scene inside, so much so that his whole body was in a frozen state.

"Have you found your sister?" Shen Nan came back to his senses from the shock of the frozen creature and walked to Chi Wenxiao and asked.

Shen Nan poked his head into the cubicle and saw a wide variety of experimental equipment inside, ranging from basic feeders to sophisticated testing instruments.

In a corner of this small compartment, a huge iron cage is particularly conspicuous, and its presence almost occupies the focus of the entire space.

The cage is made of solid metal and covered with an anti-corrosion coating, which not only protects the cage itself but also prevents damage to surrounding equipment that may be caused by animals struggling to escape.

The door of the cage was tightly closed. A short iron chain hung from the top. At the end of the chain was a lynx. It was so skinny that it was almost just a skeleton.

This lynx's fur is a deep brown, dotted with distinctive spots.

It curled up in a corner of the cage, its body huddled together, apparently in an instinctive defensive posture.

The lynx's eyes were fixed on the human who suddenly broke in, with tension and uneasiness in its eyes, and every movement it made revealed deep fear.

Shen Nan's eyes fell on the lynx's slightly opened mouth, and he found that there was nothing inside. He was shocked and said in disbelief: "Why is its teeth gone?!"

When Chi Wenxiao saw the lynx in the cage, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart. His voice trembled, and he almost shouted, "Sister!"

Shen Nan was extremely shocked when he heard Chi Wenxiao's cry. He never expected that the skinny lynx in the cage was actually Chi Wenjing!

Shen Nan stared at the lynx and began to carefully examine its condition.

When treating Chi Wenxiao before, because his physical condition was not checked in advance, he did not understand the abnormal situation later.

This time, Shen Nan decided to check the lynx's physical condition first before providing treatment to avoid similar mistakes again.

A few seconds later, the lynx's physical data appeared.

[Target Check: Lynx (Mutation Completed)

Physical condition: weak, poisoned]

In addition to being physically weak, the lynx also showed signs of poisoning, but for Shen Nan, these were minor problems.

But the prompt "Mutation Completed" confused him because it did not provide more information.

Chi Wenxiao had already rushed to the cage and shook the door vigorously. He found a lock on the door and immediately turned around to look for the key in the table and drawers in the room.

After seeing the gentle healing light gradually surround the lynx and the poisoning state disappear, Shen Nan said to Chi Wenxiao, "Don't look for it anymore. The key may have been taken away by other researchers. Let me do it. Wait for me first."

"Okay." Chi Wenxiao stopped what he was doing and looked at Shen Nan expectantly.

Shen Nan quickly left the room, shouting as he walked, "Brother Ren."

Ren Linhe and Shen Wansan were checking the large experimental table. When they heard Shen Nan's call, Ren Linhe immediately turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Nan stretched out his hand and said simply and clearly: "Give me the thin wire."

Ren Linhe took out a thin wire used to open the lock from his pocket and asked with a little surprise: "You learned it after watching it a few times?"

"Of course." Shen Nan answered confidently, took the thin wire and quickly ran back to the original cubicle.

Chi Wenxiao was still waiting anxiously beside the iron cage. He kept calling Chi Wenjing's name, but the lynx in the cage was still curled up nervously in the corner, making threatening breath sounds at Chi Wenxiao from time to time.

Shen Nan took the thin wire and manipulated it skillfully in the keyhole, twisting it and fiddling with it. Finally, the lock on the cage made a slight "click" sound and opened.

When the lynx heard the sound of the cage lock being opened, it became even more panicked and tried to turn around and escape, but its back was pressed against the edge of the iron cage and it had no way to retreat.

Shen Nan observed the lynx's reaction and asked doubtfully, "Is this lynx really your sister? It looks like it doesn't recognize you at all."

Chi Wenxiao's hands were shaking. He gently opened the cage door and whispered, "It can't be wrong. My sister's beast form is a lynx, and the display on the team map can't be wrong either."

There was determination in his voice, even though the situation confused and unsettled him.
