Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.

The following night, Lu Xiao switched shifts with someone else. After 11 o'clock, it was time for the handover. Bai Ning, Xiao Bai, and Rong Le were on duty on the first, second, and third floors respectively.

Around 2 a.m., everyone was a bit tired. Lu Xiao left under the pretext of going to the toilet. At this time, Xiao Bai secretly prepared some food and called the people on the third floor to the second floor.

Lu Xiao took the remote control that Xiao Bai had stolen and entered the fourth floor. The 30-centimeter-thick steel door opened, and the scene inside the fourth floor was completely different from the outside three floors.

There were more experimental equipment here, and fewer glass windows holding animals, but after seeing the animals inside, Lu Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

In order to consolidate his power and position, Bell used mutated animals to carry out deeper genetic modifications, attempting to create a group of powerful animals that he could control.

Some of the animals here are still alive, while others are corpses preserved in formalin.

Lu Xiao had no time to sympathize with the animals; his priority was finding Song Yi. Looking at the location displayed on his communicator, he realized that he was less than 100 meters away from Song Yi, so Lu Xiao quickly headed towards the fifth floor.

Just as the door on the fifth floor opened, Lu Xiao was about to go in when his body instinctively made him dodge. In an instant, a knife slashed past the back of his head and stuck straight into the wall.

Lu Xiao turned around, and Su Lie looked at him with a cold smile:

"Lu Xiao, it's been a long time!"

Su Lie had been keeping an eye on Lu Xiao and the others. From the moment Lu Xiao was about to go to the restroom, he knew that Lu Xiao must have something else on his mind, and sure enough, he caught him red-handed.

Lu Xiao knew he couldn't linger with Su Lie for too long:

"Su Lie, this game is important to both of us. We're on the same side now, and we all have the same goal. Clearing the game is the most important thing. Why don't we put aside our personal grudges for now?"

For the Soviet Union in the past, results were of course the most important thing, but Lu Xiao overlooked his "important position" in the Soviet Union's mind.

Ever since the last game, Lu Xiao has become a thorn in Su Lie's side, and the longer it goes on, the deeper the thorn pierces.

For Su Lie, killing Lu Xiao is the most important task in this game.

Su Lie raised his weapon and fired a shot at the alarm light on the roof. Instantly, the entire laboratory was filled with a piercing siren.

Lu Xiao's expression turned serious, because Su Lie's action would attract everyone's attention.

Su Lie's face was filled with a maniacal smile: "Hahaha, Lu Xiao, nothing you say will matter this time. I'm willing to pay any price to kill you."

“If you sneak into the lab, you’ll definitely be mistaken for an Eris spy. Let’s see how you escape this time.”

Seeing this, Lu Xiao didn't waste any more words and started fighting with Su Lie.

Xiao Bai and Bai Ningrong immediately tensed up after hearing the alarm bell ring in the laboratory; it seemed that something had happened to Lu Xiao.

Even more nervous than them was Bell. At around 2 a.m., he thought it was an enemy attack. He immediately dressed and led his men to the laboratory, only to find that they saw no enemy, but all of them were his own people.

Bai Ning, Rong Le, and Xiao Bai stood behind Lu Xiao, while Su Lie, with a bruise on his face, stood alone, holding a weapon, confronting the people opposite him.

The soldiers behind Bell pointed their weapons at them.

Bell was furious when he saw the damaged laboratory: "What on earth happened?"

Su Lie immediately said:

“Mr. Bell, this Lu Xiao is a traitor. He stole your remote control and wants to open the laboratory to release the merfolk for the Eris people.”

"If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage."

Bell immediately reached for the remote control on his body. When he discovered that the remote control was missing, Bell's expression changed drastically. The remote control was only the size of a USB flash drive and he always carried it with him because it had the function of controlling the switch of the merman's cage.

Even without Lu Xiao and the others' explanations, Bell already considered them to be spies of the Eris tribe.

Faced with this situation, Lu Xiao remained calm and did not intend to argue.

Bell, in a fit of rage, gritted his teeth and said to Lu Xiao:

"Give me the remote control."

Lu Xiao held up the remote control in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

In this situation, handing over the remote control would be a dead end.

After hearing Lu Xiao's words, Xiao Bai prompted Rong Le and Bai Ning to get ready. Lu Xiao then issued a command to the remote control:

"Open all the cages in the laboratory."

Bell's expression changed drastically, and the remote control beeped: "Please press the button to confirm."

Bell yelled, "No!"

Unfortunately, it was too late; Lu Xiao had already opened all the cages in the laboratory.

In an instant, the doors to the thousands of animals in the laboratory were opened, and chaos erupted on the first, second, and third floors.

Countless animals burst out of their cages. Those animals that were in riots had long harbored hatred for humans after being imprisoned and electrocuted for so long. One mutated wolf went straight for the laboratory staff member who had been electrocuted, and the person was instantly decapitated.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Xiao entered the fifth floor to search. There were indeed some unfortunate players who had been turned into animals in the laboratory. When they saw Lu Xiao, these players burst into tears, thinking that they were really going to die here.

Unexpectedly, the cage opened the next moment, and they were able to get out.

Lu Xiao encountered two, and Xiao Bai and the others encountered three, but they did not linger and immediately headed to the sixth floor.

The laboratory was vandalized and all the animals were released, but these were not the most important things to Bell. When Bell thought about the merman cage at the bottom of the sea being opened, he immediately took the elevator to the bottom of the sea with his people, wanting to capture the merman before the cage was fully opened.

Su Lie went to chase after Lu Xiao. After Lu Xiao entered the sixth floor, Song Yi and he shared the same spot.

However, after searching around, Lu Xiao found no trace of Song Yi.

Lu Xiao was puzzled. The location was correct, so why wasn't it there?

Although Song Yi couldn't speak, Lu Xiao still sent a message.

At the bottom of the sea, Song Yi was quietly keeping Xi Ya company when suddenly a rumbling sound came from beside them, and both Xi Ya and Song Yi woke up.

Song Yi: "What happened? Was there a tsunami?"

To everyone's surprise, Xiya suddenly seemed excited: "No, it's that this cage is about to be opened."

It was only then that Song Yi noticed that the steel pillar inserted into the seabed was slowly rising.

The cage that had confined her for fifty years began to loosen, but Xiya had no time to think about why.

Sia stared intently at the point where the steel pillar met the ground; as long as the gap was big enough, she could get out.
