Chapter 177: Countless Test Subjects Locked in Cages Are All Waiting to Die
Right after Huang Da Zhuang finished speaking, Jiang Tea Tea disappeared from the screen. Her speed-type ability was so fast it left everyone speechless.
Jiang Tea Tea’s Shrinking Ground to Inches magic spell let her enter any place.
As long as there was space for her to stand, she could get in.
Even if the vault could not open its door, she could go straight in. Whether there was oxygen or not did not matter. She was a tree spirit. Once she stood there, she herself could release oxygen. Oxygen was not something she needed.
After she entered the vault, with her good eyesight she saw that the inside space, which looked only ten meters long from the outside, was actually more than ten meters wide too, larger than an ordinary person’s home.
There were lots of things inside, not just account books but other items too. There were so many that she could not see them clearly at first.
Jiang Tea Tea took out a light orb and tossed it out. At once, all kinds of gemstone necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and brooches in the vault shone with colorful fire, almost blinding her.
She pressed her earpiece and talked to Sui Xuan Chu and the others, but no one answered.
There was no signal inside the vault.
She reached out and picked up a necklace lying on white velvet. White gems were set around it, and in the middle there was a green gem like the moon surrounded by stars.
The necklace felt heavy in her hand, at least three jin. Even though she, this demon, did not care about such things, she could tell from its fire that it was worth a lot.
Since she was already here, taking one thing was still taking, taking ten things was also taking.
Anyway, no need to be polite. Just take them.
Jiang Tea Tea flipped her hand and pulled out an empty box for nutrient fruit from her space knob storage device. She tossed the necklace into the box and started sweeping everything in.
It took two boxes that could each hold fifty jin of nutrient fruit to fit all the gemstone jewelry in the vault.
After packing all the gems, she saw all kinds of old coins and gold coins. She did not leave those behind either, and put them all into her space knob storage device.
In the end, she found the account books. They were all old, handwritten ledgers. She flipped through a few of them, then swept all of them into her space knob storage device before leaving the vault.
Only after she left the vault did the signal return to the channel shared by the eight of them, and she immediately heard Sui Xuan Chu’s voice.
“Roommate, are you okay? You really scared me to death. There is no oxygen in the vault. Why were you so impulsive?”
If anything happened to her, his uncle would skin him alive.
She did not know how important she was, or how much his uncle cared about her.
She had really scared him to death.
Jiang Tea Tea replied lightly: “I am fine. I can hold my breath. Let me tell you some good news. I got the account books, and I also took some other good stuff.”
“Now while I am on a roll, I will go to Wolf Yin Feng and Wolf Luo Feng’s bedroom and see if I can find anything else.”
Sui Xuan Chu reminded her, heart still pounding: “Okay. Just be careful. If something feels wrong, pull out. Safety comes first.”
Jiang Tea Tea said: “Got it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the shared live feed switched scenes.
Jiang Tea Tea arrived in Wolf Yin Feng and Wolf Luo Feng’s bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, gemstones were set into the walls, giving off a soft white light that made the room feel very warm.
Most of the decorations in the bedroom were Tian Yuan style flowers and plants. On the wallpaper, cute chibi figures were drawn with a childlike feel.
The incense burning in the room smelled like flowers. There was soft music and the sound of flowing water. A bed canopy hung over the bed, turning it into a small private world.
Jiang Tea Tea used Blink Step to move into their bed area. Standing in front of the bed, she saw Wolf Luo Feng holding Wolf Yin Feng.
Wolf Yin Feng had his head buried in her arms like a child, relying on her completely, trusting her fully, sleeping very soundly.
From their sleeping posture, the two of them were very much in love.
Jiang Tea Tea watched them for a long time, then turned away from the bed and walked around the room, then went into the study.
The study was just like the bedroom, full of the same childlike Tian Yuan style. Everything inside, every decoration, was simple, playful, and not expensive.
Just from seeing their bedroom and study, anyone who walked in would never connect this place to their first floor hall or to basement level three.
The three styles were so sharply different that it felt like Wolf Yin Feng and Wolf Luo Feng were just an ordinary, kind husband and wife.
After walking around their bedroom and study, Jiang Tea Tea did not find any clues or any very valuable items.
She tossed monitoring devices and listening devices into every corner of their bedroom and study, then used Shrinking Ground to Inches to arrive at their crime site eighty kilometers away.
Sui Xuan Chu and the other seven connected to Jiang Tea Tea’s shared feed, but harsh static came through her earpiece.
She had planned to keep walking forward, but stopped and asked: “Zhang Ting Zhou, what is going on? Why is it so noisy?”
Zhang Ting Zhou answered in a steady voice: “There is a jammer. Not a normal one, but a jammer formed using natural magnetic fields. All electronic devices that enter will be interfered with.”
Jiang Tea Tea raised an eyebrow: “Okay. I will switch to recording mode without signal and go in to take a look myself. You all wait for me.”
Sui Xuan Chu and Cheng Lin Yue spoke almost at the same time: “Roommate, Sister Tea, remember, the mission is important, but you are more important than the mission.”
Jiang Tea Tea replied: “Relax. I cherish my life more than anyone.”
She was the only pride of the Tea Tree family. When she ran into danger, it could only end with others turning into her fertilizer. She could not let even a single tea leaf of hers fall.
Once the signal and shared video were completely gone, the sky after four in the morning started to grow light. None of them felt sleepy. They all stayed in their rooms, fully focused, waiting and working.
Jiang Tea Tea walked through the underground of this lab city that looked like the end of the world. The lights were dim, the air smelled of decay and blood, and the temperature was cold and damp.
Countless mechanical devices and glass containers hung from the ceiling, from the walls, floated in midair, or stood on the ground.
Inside every container there was a naked beastman or half-beastman, male or female. They looked like they were asleep, some standing, some curled up, some cut into pieces.
On each container, a label showed the date, the beastman race, the date of death, and the cause of death. Most of the causes were death by live injection.
Their eyes were wide open with fear and terror, their faces twisted. The people who put them into the containers seemed to have a cruel sense of fun, clearly wanting others to see at a glance that they had died in extreme fear and unwillingness.
The place where these containers and corpses were stored stretched out so far she could not see the end. For the sake of finding and recording evidence, Jiang Tea Tea still walked through it all.
What she did not expect was that the area storing beastman bodies was connected to the area storing animal specimens.
The place for animal specimens was connected again to a place for pure human specimens. That was right. There was also a whole room of pure human specimens.
From embryo to birth, to childhood, to young man, youth, old age, and all the way to death, every kind of specimen was there.
After Jiang Tea Tea finished walking through all the specimen storage areas and recording all the footage, she reached the room where all kinds of files and account books were stored.
The handwritten account books took up a lot of space. The whole room was full of them.
Jiang Tea Tea took a look and, once she confirmed they were account books, swept them all into her space knob storage device without any hesitation.
With all the account books in the archive room gone, she went to the only desk in the room and started searching for other things.
To her surprise, she found a notebook. She opened it and started reading, her eyes taking in ten lines at a glance. As she turned the thick pages, she memorized everything inside.
After she finished the notebook, she left the archive room and used her spiritual power to weld the door shut.
Right after that, Jiang Tea Tea went to the dorm area for the staff members at this crime site. By five in the morning, they had all woken up.
Jiang Tea Tea recorded them one by one, giving each person a close-up shot of their face. At six o’clock, seven o’clock, she followed them to their work area.
Dozens of staff members, each with their own lab room. Every lab room not only had the most advanced experimental equipment, there was also a living test subject on the lab table.
They injected all kinds of drugs into the test subjects without restraint, and used knives to cut into their bodies!
Some test subjects made no sound at all, like they were already dead, letting them do whatever they wanted. Some struggled and let out hysterical screams.
After Jiang Tea Tea finished recording each test subject’s face and the equipment in each lab room, she left their work area.
Following the scent of life that her spiritual power picked up, she went to the place where the aura of living beings was the strongest.
She saw ten large cages hanging five meters above the ground. In each cage there were no fewer than ten individuals, beastmen, half-beastmen, pure humans, and younglings.
Ten big cages meant more than a hundred living people, all waiting to be taken to the lab table, cut apart, and used as test subjects.
Jiang Tea Tea let out a breath and did not disturb the people in the ten cages. She just recorded a facial shot of each of them.
When she left this crime site, she destroyed all the wiring inside. With no power supply, all the lab rooms fell into darkness, and the test subjects got a short chance to rest and breathe.
The morning wind brushed across their faces.
Cheng Mian and Mo Jing Chun, husband and wife, and Wolf Yin Feng and Wolf Luo Feng, also husband and wife, were standing at the door, looking at the big grassy yard of the Lang Family Estate. A dozen children had taken on their beast forms and were running around training, practicing their supernatural abilities.
With deliberate flattery in his tone, Cheng Mian sighed: “Yin Feng, Luo Feng, your children not only have excellent levels of supernatural abilities, they are also very self-disciplined. They are up running and training at five or six in the morning!”
“Not like our kid. Once it is vacation, not only is he still not up now, he was afraid his mother and I would go wake him. At midnight he sent a message to his mother and me, saying not to call him in the morning, that he wanted to use the break to sleep in properly.”
“Oh, and he also told us not to wake his seven schoolmates, his little buddies, either, saying they were just like him, using the break to rest, sleep in, and catch up on sleep.”
Mo Jing Chun agreed with Cheng Mian: “Exactly. Last night before I went to sleep I was still telling Brother Cheng Mian that our kid went to the military academies last year and finally became sensible and full of spirit.”
“Not even three hours after I said that, at midnight, we received his message. I was so embarrassed I wanted to slap my own old face red!”
“If only our child could be like your children… no, even if he was only half as sensible as your kids, it would be thanks to the Beast God’s blessing. I would go burn incense in thanks!”
