CHAPTER 756: CHAPTER 761: INCIDENT AT THE RESEARCH BASE (1)

Seeing this scene, Hu Fei immediately pushed open the laboratory door and asked the busy researchers, "How are they doing?"

"Right now, the situation isn’t very clear; let’s talk about it later."

Zhu Xiaozhu dropped a sentence and continued to stare at the instrument in front of her, her expression tight and highly focused.

Hu Fei moved closer, examining the data on the instrument with a curious expression.

"Miss Zhu, what do these numbers mean? And this... what does this waveform indicate?"

Hearing Hu Fei’s question, Zhu Xiaozhu gave him an annoyed look and impatiently said, "Can you please leave quickly and stop hindering us here?"

After being reproached by Zhu Xiaozhu, Hu Fei obediently shut his mouth and honestly exited the laboratory.

Looking at the situation in the lab, Hu Fei thought for a while and then took out his phone and dialed Ling Chen’s number directly.

However, although the call connected, no one answered.

Strange!

Hu Fei shook his head, muttering to himself, "Why isn’t anyone answering the phone? That guy should have already returned."

Just as he was thinking, Hu Fei’s view suddenly went dark, and the entire research facility plunged into darkness.

"What’s happening?"

"Everyone, don’t panic; the backup power will kick in soon."

Hu Fei had barely finished speaking when the facility’s backup power immediately started up, instantly restoring the light.

Seeing all the instruments in the lab running normally again, Hu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Kaelina beside him, "Go check quickly what caused the power cut."

Kaelina nodded and immediately rushed toward the electrical room.

Upon reaching the door to the electrical room, Kaelina pushed the door open and quickly stepped inside. However, the moment her right foot crossed the threshold, she felt a gust of wind rushing toward her, pressing close in an instant.

Before Kaelina could react, a powerful force suddenly struck, heavily landing on her.

Puh!

Instantly, Kaelina spat out a mouthful of blood; her body flew backward, crashing into the wall and she fainted.

As Kaelina fainted, a person walked out of the corner of the electrical room, looked at Kaelina with a cold laugh, and then started walking out. Before exiting, that person also made sure to close the room’s door tightly.

"Hey, hey! How is everything on your end?"

Outside the laboratory, Hu Fei was holding a walkie-talkie, maintaining communication with various departments, inquiring whether everything was normal after the power outage.

After receiving replies from various departments, Hu Fei finally felt relieved and continued to focus on the lab.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaozhu and other researchers were not affected by the power outage; they were completely absorbed in monitoring the instruments, paying attention to the physical changes of Jiang Yunkai and Bai Huanjun, and recording them one by one.

Watching everyone busy, Hu Fei picked up the walkie-talkie, intending to send someone to check on Kaelina. So much time had passed, and there was still no sign of Kaelina returning. The electrical box room wasn’t that far away; it shouldn’t take this much time, unless...

However, before Hu Fei could speak, his attention was captivated by something in the lab.

At that moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in a dark corner of the lab. Although it was not very clear, Hu Fei was certain that it was definitely a person.

One... two... three...

Hu Fei swallowed nervously, counting the researchers present in the lab.

Five people, no one missing. In that case, why was there an extra shadow? Could it be...

Thinking this, Hu Fei’s eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Come out!"

Hearing Hu Fei’s cry, Zhu Xiaozhu and the others were taken aback for a moment, each wearing a puzzled look, wondering what had happened, and staring strangely at Hu Fei, not understanding what was going on.

Just as they were stunned, a cold light suddenly flashed under the light.

Following that, they saw blood splattering everywhere as a head flew up, crossed the air, and then fell to the ground under everyone’s gaze.

After a brief moment of shock, Zhu Xiaozhu and the others finally came to their senses. A chorus of screams filled the lab as they each frantically ran towards the exit.

Hu Fei quickly pulled open the door of the lab, loudly urging, "Hurry up and get out!"

However, that dark shadow relentlessly followed right behind everyone. Before they could escape, the last two researchers in the line were decapitated, their heads completely severed, gruesomely bloody.

"Someone, quick, help!"

Seeing this, Hu Fei shouted into the intercom, hoping the guards at the research base would immediately arrive.

However, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire. By the time Zhu Xiaozhu reached the door of the lab, excluding her, the four other researchers had all tragically died by that person’s hand.

Seeing Zhu Xiaozhu escape, Hu Fei immediately closed the lab door and pressed the nearby password lock.

Click!

A soft sound, and the lab door was immediately locked, trapping the assassin inside.

"Miss Zhu, quick, you go first, I’ll hold them off here."

Zhu Xiaozhu nodded and hurriedly ran towards the outside of the research base.

Bang!

Not long after Zhu Xiaozhu left, a loud noise was heard as the bulletproof glass of the lab was shattered by someone inside, cracks spreading everywhere.

Seeing this, Hu Fei widened his eyes, incredulously staring at the person.

Is this... even human?

To shatter bulletproof glass with just fists.

A master!

This person must be a master like Ling Chen.

Recognizing the opponent’s skill, where would Hu Fei dare to stay, he quickly turned and chased in the direction Zhu Xiaozhu had left.

Against such a master, it’s better to run first.

Upon reaching the entrance of the research base, Hu Fei suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the ground.

At that moment, at both sides of the base entrance, lay several bodies. Hu Fei knew these people; they were specifically responsible for the security of the base’s entrance. Not only were they dead, but their deaths were extremely gruesome, throats slit, no mercy shown.

Who on earth is so ruthlessly brutal!

Hu Fei, deviating from his usual carefree demeanor, frowned at the bodies, silently pondering.

Suddenly, Hu Fei seemed to think of something and hurried outside. Once outside the research base, his expression drastically changed.

Outside the base was a parking lot where everyone usually parked their cars. He had instructed Zhu Xiaozhu to leave, but her car hadn’t driven away, could it be...

A chill ran down Hu Fei’s spine, fearing that something might have happened to Zhu Xiaozhu.

At that moment, more than ten guards responsible for the security of the base quickly arrived, loudly calling Hu Fei’s name.

"Quick, go look for Miss Zhu." Hu Fei hurriedly said.

"Yes."

Everyone responded and immediately dispersed outside the base, searching for Zhu Xiaozhu.

More than ten minutes passed, and as Hu Fei waited at the door, he saw his subordinates gradually returning and hurriedly approached asking, "Did you find her?"

"Mr. Hu, we’ve searched all around, Zhu Xiaozhu is nowhere to be found."
