The shrill sound of the alarm pierced the silence of the laboratory like a thousand ducks quacking in unison.
The red warning lights flashed wildly, resembling the neon lights of a nightclub, dazzling Lin Yuan to the point where he felt stars dancing before his eyes.
"What the hell! What's going on? Old Wang's Invisibility Cloak must be a knockoff!" Lin Yuan cursed under his breath, mentally cursing Wang Tianyu's ancestors for generations. This thing had failed him at a critical moment, proving to be even more of a liability than a useless teammate!
The surveillance screens on the wall were currently broadcasting his "spectacular performance" in high definition, 360-degree surround view—clearer than a live stream of the Spring Festival Gala. The scene was nothing short of a large-scale social death event! Lin Yuan could even see the look of terror on his own face and the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Great, now the whole country knows about it." Lin Yuan felt like crying but had no tears left, feeling as if he were a monkey in a zoo being gawked at. If this got out, how would he ever survive in the underworld again?
A group of guards in black uniforms stormed in, wielding laser guns and electric batons, looking like a pack of hungry wolves spotting their prey. Each one wore a serious expression, their eyes fierce as if they were ready to tear Lin Yuan apart at any moment.
"Stop! Don't move!" shouted a burly Captain of the Guards, pointing at Lin Yuan with a voice that boomed like thunder, making Lin Yuan's eardrums ring. Saliva sprayed across Lin Yuan's face, nearly knocking him out from the stench.
"Big brother, let’s talk this out calmly. No need to be impulsive," Lin Yuan raised his hands, plastering a smile on his face while mentally calculating his escape route. The thirty-six stratagems—running away was the best option!
"Less nonsense! Who are you to dare intrude into the Core Laboratory?" The Captain of the Guards stepped closer, his electric baton flickering with dangerous blue light. To Lin Yuan's eyes, that blue light resembled the scythe of death, radiating an aura that sent chills down his spine.
"I... I'm just a delivery guy who took a wrong turn," Lin Yuan quickly improvised. Even he thought this excuse was ridiculous, but it was better than saying nothing at all, right?
"A delivery guy? Do you think I'm stupid? This is a secret Experimental Base! Have you ever seen a delivery guy bringing food to a secret base?" The Captain of the Guards roared, raising his electric baton to strike. This big oaf was not easily fooled!
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't do anything rash! I really am just delivering food! If you don't believe me, look!" Lin Yuan hurriedly pulled out a crumpled takeout receipt from his pocket that read "Huang Men Ji Mi Fan, extra spicy." He had saved it from lunch and never expected it would come in handy now.
The Captain of the Guards paused for a moment, taking the receipt with suspicion and examining it closely. He squinted as if trying to find holes in the receipt.
"This..." He scratched his head, momentarily speechless. The takeout receipt did indeed look somewhat legitimate.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Captain of the Guards was distracted, Lin Yuan swiftly slipped into the laboratory's Ventilation Duct, disappearing like a nimble loach. The Ventilation Duct was narrow and filthy, but it was now his only escape route.
"Chase him! Don't let him get away!" the Captain of the Guards shouted in exasperation as he realized he had been tricked by a takeout order.
The Guards rushed after him, causing chaos in the laboratory as they scrambled around. This group was indeed relentless!
Crawling through the Ventilation Duct, Lin Yuan felt like a rat scurrying through a sewer. The duct was cramped and dirty, filled with a nauseating moldy smell. It was worse than the odor of Old Wang's feet!
"Old Wang, you’ve doomed me!" Lin Yuan muttered to himself as he crawled. This cursed Invisibility Cloak had to malfunction now of all times!
Suddenly, ahead of him appeared a dense Light Net, flashing with red lights like a deadly web blocking his path. If he touched it, he would surely end up roasted!
"Whoa! This is too extreme!" Lin Yuan gasped, quickly halting his movement. The laboratory's defense system was downright insane!
At that moment, a cold voice echoed through the intercom: "Intruder has entered the ventilation system; activating Level B defense protocol!" It sounded like Nan Gong Xuan—this woman just wouldn't let up!
The Light Net began to contract, its speed increasing rapidly like a giant spider web ready to ensnare him. If he got caught, it would be game over!
"This is it! I'm done for!" Lin Yuan despaired, closing his eyes. Was he really going to meet his end here today?
In a critical moment, Lin Yuan's Guan Qi Abilities suddenly surged. He could clearly sense the energy flow of the Light Net and found a tiny gap. This gap was only palm-sized but represented his only chance for survival!
Taking a deep breath and holding it, he slithered through the opening like a flexible snake at an incredible angle. The maneuver was as challenging as that of an Olympic gymnastics champion!
"Phew! That was close!" Lin Yuan exclaimed, still shaken as if he had just walked through the gates of hell. The Light Net had truly been exhilarating!
He continued to crawl forward when suddenly, a massive fan appeared ahead, spinning at high speed and emitting a deafening roar. If he were to get sucked into that fan, he would surely end up as meat sauce!
"This... this is going to turn me into meat sauce!" Lin Yuan exclaimed, terrified. The designer of this laboratory was definitely a psychopath!
Nan Gong Xuan's figure appeared on the surveillance screen, a cold smile curling at the corners of her mouth. "Lin Yuan, you can't escape!" This woman was truly full of herself!
Lin Yuan stared at the rapidly spinning fan, despair filling his heart. Was he really going to meet his end here?
Just then, a spark of inspiration struck Lin Yuan. He thought of a crazy plan. He pulled a coin from his pocket, took a deep breath, aimed for the center of the fan, and hurled it with all his might.
The coin struck the center bearing of the fan with a crisp sound. It was as if the coin was a bullet, hitting its target with precision!
The fan's rotation slowed instantly and finally came to a halt. The effect was even more shocking than any movie special effect!
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yuan leaped over and successfully escaped the clutches of the fan. His move was nothing short of spectacular!
"How... how is this possible?" Nan Gong Xuan stared incredulously at the surveillance screen, her eyes filled with shock. She never expected Lin Yuan to escape this predicament!
Lin Yuan had narrowly escaped death, but he knew this was just the beginning.
Nan Gong Xuan would not let him off easily; an even more intense chase was about to unfold…
