No further hesitation.
Su Yi looked silently at the sword in his hand, and a soft white light appeared in his hand.
As if something mysterious had descended, the guards in the originally quiet laboratory disappeared one after another, silently and without leaving any trace.
……
at the same time
Outside the laboratory, a group of fully armed soldiers with red dragonflies printed on their shoulders appeared outside the warehouse under the cover of night. They were well-trained and moved quickly, making almost no unusual noise as they stopped outside the warehouse.
The soldier used the locator, which flashed green light, to check the longitude and latitude repeatedly. The dark green light flashed, and after confirming it, he turned to the one-eyed man holding a rapier and said:
"Lord Turva, this should be it. According to the intelligence, the laboratory is located under that abandoned warehouse."
"According to insider intelligence, the special forces team has found a total of nine people with special abilities, one of whom has the space-related special ability that the organization is most looking for."
Chapter 42 Where are the guards of the laboratory?
Inside the glass room deep in the laboratory
"We must handle this situation carefully. This problem uses trigonometric functions. The correct answer is cos45 degrees multiplied by the solution we found in the previous step."
Mu Xiaowei, who Su Yi was worried would be sliced into pieces, was sitting upright at a simple wooden table, listening to the online class attentively. The ballpoint pen in her right hand was rustling, and her left hand was pressing on her temple, stimulating the acupoints through friction to avoid drowsiness.
The door of the room opened and then closed.
The girl turned around when she heard the noise.
Xu Chen, the lab's director, entered the room carrying the familiar brown bear backpack. He pushed his glasses up and said kindly, "I've got the textbooks you requested. I also bought two high school physics workbooks, and the Spark English past exam papers. I'm not sure if you've forgotten any, so you can check them out."
"If there's anything missing, I'll be going to Los Angeles High School tomorrow and can get it for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu."
Mu Xiaowei's tired eyes were tinged with bright colors. She reached out to take the backpack, opened the nylon buckle on it, flipped through it for a while, rubbed the paper with her white fingers, but her face was gradually filled with worry.
"Did something fall down?"
"No...no, everything has been replenished." Mu Xiaowei shook her head, with some hesitation in her words.
"If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. We will try our best to satisfy you." Xu Chen pulled a small chair and sat opposite the girl and asked softly. Superpowers are closely related to people's moods and emotions. As the head of the laboratory, she is naturally a master of psychology.
He could easily tell that the adolescent girl in front of him had some ulterior motives.
"Just a little worried."
"Worried?" Xu Chen pinched his chin, paused, and spoke in a tone as gentle as possible.
"I should have told you yesterday that we are a special operations team backed by the state."
"The reason you're being held captive is because your powers are unstable upon awakening, and we're trying to prevent you from causing any disturbances. Strictly speaking, this is a form of protection. You just need to cooperate with the necessary checks and tests."
"If you're worried about your parents, we have someone to explain things to them. If you're worried about affecting your studies, I'll provide you with the best online courses. And if you want, you can even get direct admission to a high-ranking military academy."
Xu Chen's words were clear, his reasons were sufficient and he took all aspects into consideration. His conversation was full of elite temperament.
People with space-related abilities are extremely rare. If I hadn't happened to see Mu Xiaowei teleporting the old phone away while walking on the street yesterday, I would never have discovered it with the current detection technology.
He didn't want to cause the girl to go berserk because of emotional problems.
"Mr. Xu, I know all the benefits. I just want to ask, do I have to be regulated after becoming a superpower?"
"Will I still be able to be with my friends in the future..."
As Mu Xiaowei was talking, Su Yi's face appeared in her mind. Her cell phone had been confiscated since she was brought here, and she still didn't know how he was doing now.
"Of course we have to regulate it. You have to know that we are not the only ones in this world who are interested in people with special abilities."
After taking a breath, Xu Chen's expression became more solemn, and he did not deny Mu Xiaowei's guess.
He put his hand into his brand new white coat, fumbled in the inner pocket, and pulled out a photo. He held it between his thumb and middle finger in front of him and said, "You should know this person."
The person in the photo is wearing an old brown coat and a round-brimmed knitted hat of the same color. He has a plain appearance and a slightly fierce face. He is holding a teaching pole in his hand and teaching on the blackboard.
"Is this the head teacher of our senior year class?" Mu Xiaowei took the photo and recognized the middle-aged man in it at a glance. She had listened to his lectures many times during high school assemblies over the years, and he had also served as her political teacher in her freshman year, so she was very familiar with him.
"Yes."
Xu Chen nodded and handed over another photo.
It’s the same person in this photo, but the difference is that the head of the grade is covered in blood, his bones are broken and stuffed into a small suitcase, and he looks extremely miserable.
"Is this... is this true?"
Seeing such a horrifying scene, Mu Xiaowei was a little confused for a moment.
"Two days ago, we found his body in a bachelor apartment. Foreign forces killed him and wanted to disguise themselves as him and sneak into Los Angeles High School."
"But the other party didn't know that we had already replaced the school's teachers in advance, so the goal was not achieved, but the head teacher still died."
Xu Chen's brows had been furrowed without him knowing when. Although Da Xia seemed stable on the surface, every society had a dark side, and they had been fighting these foreign forces for many years.
The incident of robbing people with special abilities happened ten years ago. They had no experience at that time and paid an extremely painful price, so they acted so quickly this time.
"You have to understand that superpowers represent risks. Those foreign forces are unscrupulous and threaten people through family, loved ones, and friends."
"The closer you get to them, the more likely something will happen."
"As someone who's been through it all, making friends with strong backgrounds and strong personal abilities will make your future life more comfortable."
Listening to Xu Chen's earnest words, Mu Xiaowei looked down at the miserable photo in her hand again. She felt as if there was a noisy steam train passing by her ears.
Her life was inexplicably changed, which was not what she wanted at all. It was like this when her father married Aunt Xu a few years ago, and it is still like this now.
I finally felt that my life was getting better, but I had to accept such a big change.
Whether it is parents or Su Yi, they are all ordinary people.
Especially Su Yi.
He was already thin, and a few days ago, a man with special abilities knocked him out with one punch. He had no ability to resist and fell to the ground in a mess.
Weak, helpless and pitiful.
At that time, Mu Xiaowei felt that she had implicated him. If she had run faster and been stronger and not been pushed down by the crowd, Su Yi would not have been injured at all.
Do I have to trouble him again now?
"Why is it always like this? Why does this kind of accident happen just when things are getting better!" Mu Xiaowei's eyes were full of loss and confusion. After a long time, she hugged her head and asked in a low voice.
"Mr. Xu, is this place absolutely safe?"
"Of course! Trust the safety factor of our laboratory, you can rest assured."
Talking about this, Xu Chen's face was full of pride. "Not to mention that this location is secret and difficult for others to find, there are more than 40 special operations team members in the laboratory."
"Each of them is a veteran soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles. They are the special forces among special forces."
"Also, there's an experienced psychic here every day, so not even a single person can get in."
This was originally a private research institute of the government. After temporary reconstruction, it is now fully equipped. As the person in charge here, Xu Chen is still very confident.
But his words had just fallen.
Sizzle, sizzle, click—
The light above kept flickering, sometimes brighter and sometimes dimmer, and finally there was a sound like a short circuit explosion. The laboratory was instantly plunged into darkness, and everything around it stopped working.
About five seconds later, the backup power supply started up, and a dim green light lit up the surroundings.
"What happened?" Xu Chen felt something was wrong. All the facilities in the laboratory were high-end products, and the circuits were built and assembled by him personally. It was impossible for the power to go out of nowhere.
He immediately picked up the communicator at hand, pressed the metal button on the side, and shouted, "Everyone, please pay attention. A team of personnel will check the circuit and find the cause of the problem."
The communicator was working fine and the signal light was green, but no one responded.
Xu Chen felt that something big was happening. He didn't care how much it hurt from being hit on the face, and hurriedly contacted Cheng Sanli, the psychic in charge of the laboratory, via his mobile phone.
However, as soon as I turned on my phone, a message popped up.
"Lao Xu~~ I'm going to have a couple of drinks. I'll be back in about half an hour. Remember not to tell on me! I'll bring you a bottle of good wine when I come back."
"......"
Seeing this scene, Xu Chen felt like a kettle being boiled by a high fire. He was about to explode and was so angry that he almost crushed his phone.
Fortunately, he still had a trace of rationality, and he hurried to find Xidai's phone number, ready to contact him. However, before he could make the call, he heard a noisy sound in the corridor.
A bullet passed by and shattered the phone that was on a call. The broken screen exploded, and the glass shards pierced into the skin. Blood flowed down Xu Chen's cheek.
"It's not good to report Xu Chen, don't move or I'll blow your head off."
A middle-aged man with a blond crew cut and a noticeable scar on his right eye walked out from the shadows of the corridor. Behind him followed a group of thugs armed with guns, wearing bulletproof vests and gas masks. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but a red dragonfly was embroidered on each of their arms.
"Turva? You, how did you get in?"
Xu Chen shouted in disbelief.
He recognized the leader, who was a killer from the foreign force "Red Dragonfly". They had already had many conflicts over people with special abilities. So many people broke into the laboratory, but there was no unusual noise.
Turva was also puzzled. "How did he get in? Of course he walked in openly."
"impossible."
The two special forces guards stationed beside Xu Chen immediately raised their guns and fired, and a large number of bullets poured out. However, the bullets were bounced off by an invisible barrier at the moment they were about to hit the target.
Turva showed a playful expression and waved his hand. The Red Dragonfly soldiers behind him immediately took action and beat the two special forces members in front of them into sieves.
Fell into a pool of blood.
"Xu Chen, you're a bunch of idiots. You're the only one with two guards in this huge lab, and you still have the nerve to ask?"
"At first I thought I had fallen for what you in Daxia often call the Empty City Strategy."
"It's a waste of all the people I brought here. The bounty I got isn't even enough to buy a soda. If you dare to say another word, I'll kill you."
The organization has been secretly monitoring Los Angeles High School for a long time. The last monitor was attacked with a rubber, and the power was quite strong.
Turva thought that the special forces had made sufficient preparations this time and that there might be experts in the laboratory, so he brought enough people and went into battle personally.
The result was unbelievable. It was so loose that it made people feel like they had entered a trap. If he hadn't seen Xu Chen, the famous supernatural researcher from Daxia, here alone, he would have retreated.
Hearing "there is no guard in the lab" and "walking in so arrogance", Xu Chen was completely dumbfounded.
What about all those elite special operations team members? Did Cheng Sanli take them all out for drinks?
Otherwise, even if the Jade Emperor came, it would be impossible to make them all disappear quietly.
"What happened?"
Chapter 43 Who are you?
"The laboratory's monitoring center, with a 30-centimeter radius and a cross-section large enough to hold three cell phones, had its titanium alloy walls easily shredded. The guards responsible for alarms, investigations, and monitoring collapsed to the ground.
Lolisi helped them sit down on the recliners one by one. According to the commander, as long as they sat on the bench, it was equivalent to not being knocked unconscious, and they were still monitoring the entire laboratory.
"Blue Star is not like the wasteland that strengthens into the wind and doesn't care about its own body at all." Su Yi said in a low voice.
After studying the control panel for a while, he pulled the innermost lever, and a red exclamation mark popped up on the screen. All alarms and security systems were turned off, and then he smashed the communication equipment to pieces with a punch.
All the guards that could be found nearby have been knocked unconscious and hidden. Now the entire laboratory is isolated from the outside world. Su Yi doesn't know what other masters are inside, but at least there will be no external help coming now.
Most importantly, he had already locked onto Mu Xiaowei's location through surveillance.
Fortunately, the girl was fine for the time being, but there was a strange man chatting with her. He didn't know what the other person said, but he could only see that Mu Xiaowei's face was becoming more and more solemn.
It felt like being tortured and threatened.
Su Yi stared at the surveillance camera closely.
It was really good news that Mu Xiaowei was still alive. He had to act quickly to avoid any further accidents.
however.
The next scene that appeared in the monitoring room made him stunned.
"Wait! Fully armed soldiers? Reinforcements are arriving so soon?"
Su Yi was shocked by the efficiency. He had obviously done it quite covertly and couldn't figure out where the problem occurred.
The yellow-haired foreigner in the lead did not carry a gun but only a rapier. In the Blue Star's fighting style, he did not use a rifle that was both accurate and fast within and outside seven steps, but chose a cold weapon. This must mean that he had a high degree of confidence in himself.
This is a fighting style preferred by wastelanders with very high physical strength.
