The news of the experimental subject's escape quickly spread throughout the experimental base, but the news of Team Leader Chen's death did not cause any uproar.

Marissa had never liked Team Leader Chen, but now that he was dead, she was still happy and at ease.

"You're just a piece of trash who only knows how to abuse your test subjects. You've been retaliated by your test subjects! I'm not a good person, but at least I'll kill you quickly."

Marissa got some red wine from somewhere and openly distributed it to every member in the conference room, as if celebrating the death of Team Leader Chen.

The ones who drank it without hesitation were all NPCs, while most players had poison testing tools and would only drink a sip or two just for the sake of confirmation that it was not poisonous.

Hua Meng asked, "Marisa, now that Chen is dead, who will take care of the logistics?"

Marissa's face suddenly darkened, "Fack!"

After Marissa cursed a few times, she turned back to Shukaku with a smile, "Tsuru, are you interested in leading another team?"

"It's just some chores, do you really need me to take care of it myself? Do you think I'm qualified?"

Shukaku walked away without looking back.

Several players in the logistics team were quite dissatisfied with Shu He's attitude, especially the taunt, which showed no regard for their dignity at all.

Several players glared at Shukaku with malicious eyes before leaving the meeting room.

Marissa was annoyed by what she heard. She stopped drinking and took her team members to search for the escaped experimental subject in the experimental base.

Since the big hole was patched in time and the surveillance was changed by You Yun, Marissa thought that the experimental subject was still in the experimental base.

She decided that if she couldn't catch the experimental subject tonight, she would go straight to the experimental transformation tomorrow morning. After the transformation, she would have to trip up Shu He, otherwise she would not feel satisfied!

Her team members had no choice but to suffer along, running around the experimental base and staying up all night.

However, they also took this opportunity to investigate many rooms. Hua Meng pretended to help and took the other players to look for clues everywhere.

According to the convention of the copy, the most clues are often in places like the database.

There are many corridors and rooms in the base. The experimental subjects are held on the first floor, their dormitories are on the underground floor, the conference hall is on the third floor, and various laboratories are on the second floor.

Hua Meng guessed that the archives room was on the third floor.

However, Marissa was leading people to patrol the third floor, so Hua Meng chose to avoid them first and look for other clues on the second floor.

He did not forget that the task of passing this copy was to eliminate the pollution source. If they simply followed the tasks issued by the system to look for clues, the time it took them to pass the copy would be prolonged.

In a copy that could keep even his master here, Hua Meng would never think that extending the time would be beneficial.

Most of the laboratories were locked. Hua Meng tried to open a few of them with props and found that each one was the same and there was nothing special about it.

There are several other rooms at the end of the corridor.

The door of the laboratory was not locked, and there was an NPC inside listening to music.

After Team Leader Chen died, she no longer received any new test materials, which is why she became so leisurely.

When there was a knock on the laboratory door, the laboratory technician was startled and hurriedly took off his headphones and stuffed them into the drawer.

It would be terrible if Team Leader Marissa found out that she was slacking off here.

When she opened the door and saw Hua Meng and two interns, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Team leader Huameng is recognized for his good temper and never makes things difficult for others.

Hua Meng glanced at the nameplate on her chest and asked, "Xiao Shang, why are you alone?"

"Wu Mingming and I take turns working shifts. I'm on duty tonight, and she's already back in the dormitory. Is the painting team leader here to pick up yesterday's test report?"

Hua Meng nodded, "I can get it myself. Please help me find You Yun downstairs."

"Ok."

After sending the laboratory technician away, the three of them quickly went to search for information.

"The pollution source must have existed for a long time. Let's not look at the most recent ones first, but go back to the oldest ones."

The test reports were arranged one by one according to the year, and Hua Meng easily got the earliest part.

The three of them each took a copy and started reading.

Initial test reports showed normal marine life, with the occasional terrestrial animal from a few islands.

There was nothing unusual about the first few copies, so Hua Meng continued to flip through them by year.

The pages turned quickly, almost as if one glance was just a quick glance from one to the next.

"Take a look at this one."

An intern player was holding a report from January of the third year, with an excited look on his face, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Hua Meng took the report and found that the subject of the test was a human.

The test report showed that the human's name was Sai, and his blood contained a special substance. The base's instruments were unable to detect the specific components, so the laboratory technician applied for more sophisticated instruments.

The bottom of the report shows "Rejected", which seems to indicate that the people above do not quite believe this statement.

Then I turned the page and saw the one for March.

It said that there were more and more unknown substances in Sai's blood, and even some strange changes had occurred in his human genes.

His test reports continued until June. During this period, the intervals between his tests became shorter and shorter, from once every two months at the beginning to almost every day later.

In mid-May, the application for laboratory technician was finally approved.

However, the equipment was delivered in June, but there was no more test report from Sai.

At the same time, Lian Wu, Zhou Yixi and Jiu Ling have successfully gathered in the habitat.

Jiuling quickly arrived at Lianwu with Tuju in his arms.

The closer they got to the place, the more excited Rabbit became.

It wasn't until he saw Feng Ling turned into a mermaid that Tujiu shouted.

"Boss!"

Feng Ling was completely stunned. His personal profile only said that he was the leader of the mermaid clan and was captured by the people at the experimental base.

But it didn’t mention that there is a little conch brother!

"who are you?"

"Boss, I, thank you brother, for raising you!"

Feng Ling was silent. The way this conch spoke was somewhat confusing.

Lian Wu explained, "He was raised by Xie Ning."

"Hiss, where is he?"

Feng Ling wanted to go see his old acquaintance. He was really curious as to why the other party had stayed in this dungeon for two years. Xie Ning’s strength was not enough to be trapped by a former S-level dungeon.

"No, look for it at night."

You don't have to guess to know that this was Xie Ning's request.

At this time, Lian Wu remembered another thing.

Before, Tujiu said that this house belonged to the boss, but now Tujiu calls Feng Ling the boss, which means that this house belongs to Feng Ling.

Now that Feng Ling has escaped back, the house should be returned to him.

Lian Wu: ...Well, I have to find a new place to stay in the middle of the night.

Lian Wu told Feng Ling about his thoughts, and then planned to ask Tujiu to find another place for him to live.

But before he could go out, he was stopped by Feng Ling.

"You got here first, so you stay. Even if there's danger in the habitat, the mermaids won't be the ones to find it. I can keep watch outside."

Although what Feng Ling said made sense, Lian Wu still didn't want to do that.

Even if they were teammates, there was no need for them to be so nice to him. Feng Ling had always been nice to him since the Chaoyang High School dungeon. Zhou Yixi and Jiu Ling had not joined the team before, so he was not clear about the relationship between teammates.

But after Zhou Yixi and Jiu Ling joined the team, he discovered that the relationship between Hua Meng and them was not like that between him and Feng Ling.

If it was between Hua Meng and Zhou Yixi, neither of them would have suggested keeping watch.

Lian Wu couldn't describe the feeling, it was strange, a feeling he had never had before.

He wanted to look at his teammates, intending to escape the feeling in his heart, but he found that the only one around him was Feng Ling who was always looking at him.

But Jiuling had already wisely taken Tujiu away with him.
