Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Chapter 43 Outpost Investigation: Hidden Dangers

Gong Lin pulled me behind him and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His overflowing boyfriend-like protectiveness was incredibly cool!

After that gust of wind passed, two eerie green lights suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, looking just like will-o'-the-wisps!

Holy crap, could it really be haunted?

I was internally screaming, "This is so superstitious in the 90s!"

But her legs were still a little weak, and she clung tightly to Gong Lin's back.

Gong Lin remained expressionless, his sharp eyes fixed on the two points of green light.

The green light drew closer, and gradually we could see clearly that there were two of them...

cat?

That's right, they were just two ordinary stray cats whose eyes reflected the moonlight in the darkness, making them look like will-o'-the-wisps.

I breathed a sigh of relief; I was almost scared to death. Thank goodness, it was a false alarm.

"Let's go." Gong Lin chuckled softly, seemingly thinking I was making a fuss over nothing.

I glared at him fiercely, not because the atmosphere here was too strange!

After walking through a long corridor, we arrived at a place that looked like a warehouse.

The door was locked. Gong Lin pulled out a small tool that he didn't know where he got it from, and opened the lock in no time. With such lock-picking skills, it would be a shame if he didn't become a master thief.

The warehouse was filled with all sorts of boxes, covered in dust, and the air was thick with a musty smell that made me cough.

"Cough cough cough... What kind of place is this? It's so dilapidated."

Lin didn't say anything, but shone his flashlight around. Suddenly, he stopped in front of an inconspicuous wooden box, squatted down, and began to examine it carefully.

"Qingqing, look at this."

I leaned closer to take a look and saw a strange symbol carved on the wooden box, which looked like a snake coiled around a sword.

"What the hell is this?"

Gong Lin didn't answer, but instead reached out to push the wooden crate. Just then, something unexpected happened!

A sharp alarm rang out, and the warehouse lights suddenly turned on, stinging my eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black armed with weapons emerged from all directions and surrounded us.

Holy crap! What's going on? We're...surrounded?!

Gong Lin's face darkened. He shielded me behind him and coldly scanned the men in black around him.

"It seems we've... kicked a hornet's nest." His tone was calm, yet carried a hint of danger.

"Holy crap! This is for real!" I exclaimed. This is no joke, it's the real deal!

Gong Lin was incredibly agile, almost like he had a cheat code, taking down one kid with a single punch, leaving me dazzled.

While he was typing, he didn't forget to turn around and shout at me, "Qingqing, go find the control panel and turn off the alarm!"

It was only then that I realized this wasn't the time to be infatuated; I needed to find the switch quickly.

I crouched low, weaving through the pile of boxes, trying to evade the men in black.

These guys may have weapons, but their aim is really terrible; they seem to be just small fry.

The battle on Gong Lin's side was fierce; they were practically human weapons, which got my blood pumping.

However, the other side has a large number of people and is powerful, so they will definitely suffer losses in the long run.

I need to find the console right away!

Finally, in a corner, I found something that looked like a control panel.

I rushed over and started pressing buttons randomly, which only made the alarm sound even louder!

Holy crap, what kind of design is this?

"Qingqing, be careful!" Lin Ge's voice came from not far away.

I turned around and saw a man in black charging towards me, wielding a stick.

I was so scared that I quickly closed my eyes. Oh no, I'm doomed!

The expected pain did not come. I cautiously opened my eyes and saw that Gong Lin had appeared in front of me at some point and kicked the man in black away.

He grabbed my arm and said urgently, "Let's go!"

We ran to the warehouse door, only to find it locked!

I'm so angry!

What's the situation?

House seemingly endless rain?

Gong Lin stared at the tightly closed door, his eyes narrowing, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Looks like I'll have no choice but to force my way in..."

Gong Lin kicked the last man in black away and landed stylishly in front of me. I rushed over: "Gong Lin, are you alright? Are you hurt?" I pulled him up and down and looked him over. There were actually several scrapes on his body. I gasped with heartache. "It's all those bastards' fault! They were so ruthless!"

Seeing my anxious expression, Gong Lin smiled slightly and ruffled my hair. "Silly girl, what's a little injury? I thought you'd be worried about yourself." He winked at me as he spoke, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Why would I worry about myself? You're my bodyguard! If you get hurt, who'll protect me?"

"Yes, yes, my young lady." Gong Lin replied with a smile, his eyes full of doting affection.

Although he said that, I could tell that he really enjoyed the way I cared about him.

Hehe, this man is quite arrogant.

We're trapped in this dilapidated warehouse, and the alarm keeps going off—it's like a nightmare.

As I searched for a way to lift the alarm, I kept glancing at Gong Lin, afraid that he would rush up and fight someone again.

and many more……

During the fight just now, I think I noticed something was wrong.

Although these men in black looked fierce and were carrying weapons, their attack methods were mechanical, and their eyes were dull, unlike the well-trained thugs they had encountered before.

I carefully recalled the scene from just now, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind. I grabbed Gong Lin's arm and exclaimed, "Gong Lin! I think I know what's going on! These people... they don't seem to be the real enemies!"

Gong Lin looked at me with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?"

I took a deep breath and pointed at the men in black lying on the ground: "Did you notice that although they attacked us, their moves were stiff and their eyes were empty, like...like they were being controlled!"

Gong Lin followed my gaze, his brows furrowed, as if he were also thinking about something.

After a while, he squatted down and carefully observed the facial expression and physical reaction of one of the men in black. Then his expression changed, he stood up, and said in a serious tone, "You're right, these people... seem to be under the influence of drugs!"

The air suddenly became quiet, with only the piercing alarm sounding in the background.

I suddenly remembered a kind of herb in the space, the Heart-Clearing Grass!

That thing is a miracle cure for detoxification and mental alertness!

I excitedly grabbed Gong Lin's arm, almost shaking him off his feet: "Gong Lin! I have an idea! I have a kind of herb here that can detoxify! Maybe it can bring them back to their senses!"

Gong Lin's eyes lit up: "Really? Quickly take it out and try it!"

I reached into my bag and, using my mind, quickly picked a handful of calming herbs from the space around me. After fiddling around for a while, I produced a small bottle of pale green liquid.

This stuff has a strong smell, like a stinky sock mixed with durian. I don't know if it will even work.

I pinched my nose, poured the medicine into a small dish, and then carefully placed it on the ground.

Strangely enough, as soon as that "biological weapon" smell was released, the men in black lying on the ground actually started to move!

They rubbed their heads, sat up in confusion, and looked around blankly, as if they had no idea what had happened.

"Holy crap, what's going on? How did I get here?"

"I...I don't seem to remember anything..."

"My head hurts..."

Seeing them regain their senses one by one, I finally felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

Thankfully, thankfully, no one was killed.

The men in black gradually left the warehouse, and the alarm finally stopped.

The world is finally quiet!

Gong Lin and I exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

There must be someone manipulating all of this behind the scenes!

Gong Lin broke the silence first: "Let's go in and take a look."

Deep inside the warehouse was a heavy iron door. Gong Lin stepped forward and easily pried open the lock.

The iron gate slowly opened, and a cold, damp smell rushed out, mixed with a pungent chemical odor, making me frown involuntarily.

It was pitch black inside, and you couldn't see anything.

Gong Lin took out a flashlight from his waist, turned it on, and a beam of strong light shone in, barely illuminating a small area.

"Be careful." Gong Lin's voice was low and tinged with wariness.

I nodded and followed closely behind him, step by step, into this mysterious stronghold.

The beam of the flashlight flickered in the darkness, illuminating the mottled walls and floor. An eerie silence filled the air, sending chills down one's spine.

Suddenly, Gong Lin stopped in his tracks, the beam of his flashlight fixed on a corner.

I looked in the direction of the light, and my pupils suddenly contracted...

what is that?

!

"Something seems... off..." I swallowed, my voice trembling slightly.
