Chapter 2084: Mysterious Underground Laboratory
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“But the problem is, there are lots of caras inside, and no one is allowed in without permission. Even as the Team 3 leader, you can’t enter.”
“Don’t make things difficult for Team Leader Li. I’ll call Elder Liang and see if I can get permission.”
Lin Yi replied as he pulled out his phone and dialed Liang Xianghe.
“Elder Liang, I’m at the research facility. Ning Che wants to co in with . Is that okay?”
“Ning Che?” Liang Xianghe mumbled, “Is she Ning Rongbei’s granddaughter?”
“Yes, that’s her.”
Although Lin Yi didn’t pry much into Ning Che’s family matters, given their close interactions, he knew a bit about her background.
“This experint is highly classified. But if you can guarantee she’s trustworthy, then she can co in.”
“Absolutely no problem, thank you, Elder Liang.”
Though Lin Yi had been intimate with Ning Che, he still maintained proper respect in front of Liang Xianghe.
After hanging up, Lin Yi turned to Li Hang.
“Problem solved, Team Leader Li.”
“Since Elder Liang gave the okay, it’s fine then,” Li Hang said, gesturing for them to follow.
“Team Leader Lin, Team Leader Ning, please co with .”
Li Hang led the two out of the office and towards the staircase leading to the basent.
Soon, they ca upon a heavy silver alloy door that resembled a bank vault.
Li Hang used a magnetic card to unlock the door, which opened automatically.
Beyond it were concrete steps which looked plain and unremarkable.
However, the nurous security caras along the walls added a sense of formality and secrecy.
Descending to the second underground level, they encountered another alloy door.
Li Hang used the sa thod to open it.
Again, it revealed more stairs and caras, but nothing else, giving the place an increasingly eerie feeling.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, ‘What on earth are they hiding to make this place so secretive?/
At the third underground level, there was yet another alloy door.
This ti, beyond it was a wide-open space with multiple rooms.
Li Hang walked in front and took the two to the room at the end.
This was like a scene in a movie. Neither Lin Yi nor Ning Che had ever seen anything like it before.
It was hard to imagine that the Central Guards Brigade’s research facility was this well-guarded.
“Is this experint really that classified?” Ning Che asked curiously.
“The machines create a magnetic field when activated, which could interfere with other equipnt, so we built it underground.”
“But still, this seems a bit over the top.”
“Actually, the experint itself isn’t as classified as you might think,” Li Hang chuckled, pointing to a nearby room.
“But inside there are many crucial Central Guards Brigade docunts. I had to request this keycard three days ago just to access it for equipnt calibration. Normally, even as a team leader, I wouldn’t be allowed down here.”
Hearing this, Lin Yi and Ning Che understood the situation better.
It wasn’t the experint that was so secret, but the docunts stored here.
Clearly, Liang Xianghe had shown them special trust.
He had allowed them access to such a sensitive area.
Standing at the door, they chatted briefly before Li Hang opened the alloy door ahead of them.
The room beyond was vast, at least 200 square ters, with thick alloy walls.
It felt like stepping into a steel cage—claustrophobic and heavy.
Though the room was large, it felt cramped due to the array of instrunts and equipnt filling the space.
The most striking feature was a large tal container in the center, about two ters in diater but only chest-high.
It had a dizzying array of buttons and indicators that made Ning Che’s head spin.
They also saw Xu Lan there, adjusting equipnt.
It was precisely this configuration that made Lin Yi and Ning Che feel a little strange.
“Team Leader Li, Team Leader Lin, Team Leader Ning, you’re here.”
Xu Lan greeted the trio as they entered.
But apart from Xu Lan, there was no one else there.
“Is everything almost checked?”
Xu Lan nodded, “We can start anyti.”
“Okay.”
“Team Leader Li, this experint should be quite important, right? Why are only the two of you here?” Lin Yi raised his question.
“Because the experint is so important, only a very small number of people have the right to know about it.” Li Hang said without hiding anything.
“In our Team 8, both of us are quite established. That’s why Elder Liang asked us to be in charge of this experint secretly. Otherwise, the preparations wouldn’t have taken so long.”
Upon hearing this, both of them nodded without comnt.
The reason Ning Che could co here was likely because of her elite identity.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to enter such a place.
If Lin Yi were not an experinter, it would also have been impossible for him to be here without the approval of higher leadership.
“Team Leader Li, is the experint being conducted in there?” Ning Che pointed at the tal container nearby and asked.
Li Hang nodded, “But it will take so ti to link the equipnt. Let’s begin now.”
“Alright.”
Ning Che stood to the side without saying much, as she was an outsider and rely needed to observe.
“Team Leader Lin, before the experint, you need to change your clothes.”
Seeing the shorts in Li Hang’s hand, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, saying,
“Why does it look like the robe for a bathhouse?”
“It’s actually the sa type of thing. I just use it for covering up, so it doesn’t really matter.”
“Got it.”
Lin Yi found a secluded spot and changed into the shorts.
Over the next hour or so, the two of them applied countless patches to Lin Yi’s body, with most concentrated on his arms.
As Li Hang had ntioned earlier, this experint primarily focused on the arms.
By around 3 PM, everything was ready.
Lin Yi, wearing the shorts, entered the tal chamber.
“Team Leader Lin, if you feel uncomfortable, you can move around a bit. If you get tired, let know, and I’ll recline the chair for you to take a nap,” Xu Lan said.
“Is the experint this easy? I can even sleep?”
Xu Lan nodded, “Since it lasts 12 hours, we took these considerations into account during the design phase and made the necessary adjustnts.”
“That sounds good. Let’s start now.”
“Alright.”
