Chapter 43 Dangerous Flooded Areas
"Over there!" Lin Che pointed to a large isolation room at the end of the corridor.

The door of the isolation room was open, and dazzling light and energy fluctuations came from inside.

The four of them quickened their pace and rushed to the isolation room.

When they arrived at the door, they saw a shocking scene: Xiao Yu was floating in the air, surrounded by a powerful energy field.

Her eyes glowed golden, and electric energy shimmered around her body.

There were several researchers and armed guards in the isolation room, trying to control the situation, but it was clearly out of control.

"Xiaoyu!" Xiao Ran shouted.

Hearing Xiao Ran's voice, Xiao Yu turned around. Her eyes regained clarity for a moment, but were immediately covered by the golden light again.

"Brother?" Xiao Yu's voice was weak and distant.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a white coat walked out from the other end of the isolation room.

He was smiling, seemingly unfazed by the chaos before him.

"Welcome," he said calmly, "We've been waiting for you."

Xiao Ran glared at the man: "Who are you? What did you do to my sister?"

The man smiled and said, "I'm the person in charge of this project. You can call me Doctor. As for your sister, she is currently undergoing a wonderful transformation. She will be the key to opening the passage."

"Let her go!" Xiao Ran roared, his supernatural power erupted again, and he rushed towards the man who claimed to be a doctor.

But the doctor just waved his hand lightly, and an invisible force field bounced Xiao Ran away, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Xiao Ran!" Su Wanqing exclaimed and quickly ran over to help him.

The doctor looked around, his eyes landing on Lin Che and Lu Zhao. "Ah, it seems our guests are all here. Water, Mechanical, Space, and Strength. Four elemental abilities, plus Xiao Yu's Lightning, we now have five. We only need two more, and the passage will be fully open."

Lin Che asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

The doctor smiled and said, "I want to save this world, or rather, create a new world."

At this moment, the energy fluctuations on Xiao Yu suddenly became more violent, and the entire isolation room began to vibrate.

"Ah, it looks like the most exciting part is about to begin," the doctor said. "You've arrived just in time to witness this turning point in history."

Cracks appeared on the walls of the isolation room, and energy overflowed from the cracks, forming small vortices.

Xiao Yu's body began to glow, and her screams echoed throughout the isolation room.

"Xiaoyu!" Xiao Ran struggled to stand up, but his injuries and the impact just now made him unable to move.

Lin Che and Lu Zhao exchanged glances and attacked simultaneously. Lin Che controlled the water flow to form a wall of water, separating the doctor from the other researchers.

Lu Zhao used his mechanical manipulation abilities to short-circuit the equipment in the isolation room, attempting to weaken the intensity of the energy field.

Su Wanqing tried to use her spatial ability to create a channel, hoping to bring Xiao Yu out of the energy field.

But the energy field was too strong for her powers to penetrate.

"It's useless," the doctor's voice came from the other side of the water wall, "The ritual has begun, and no one can stop it."

Xiao Yu's screams became louder and louder, and the energy field became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from her body, and the entire isolation room was flooded with white light.

When the light faded, the isolation room was in ruins, the walls riddled with cracks, and most of the equipment was destroyed.

Xiao Yu was still floating in the air, but her eyes had returned to normal and the energy field on her body had disappeared.

"Xiaoyu!" Xiao Ran stood up with difficulty and walked towards his sister.

Xiao Yu slowly landed on the ground, seemingly exhausted. She looked up at Xiao Ran, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.

"Brother, what happened?" she asked weakly.

Xiao Ran hugged his sister tightly: "It's okay, I'm here to save you."

The doctor and other researchers have disappeared, possibly having escaped in the chaos.

One side of the isolation room's wall completely collapsed, revealing a passage leading to the outside world.

"We have to get out of here quickly," Lu Zhao said. "The entire facility could collapse at any moment."

Lin Che nodded: "Indeed, the energy fluctuations have destroyed the building structure."

Xiao Ran picked up the weak Xiao Yu and said, "Let's go out through that passage."

The four of them, along with Xiao Yu, advanced along the passage revealed by the collapsed wall.

The passage appears to lead to the surface, but the road ahead is unclear.

"Be careful," Su Wanqing warned, "We don't know what's out there yet."

Xiao Ran hugged Xiao Yu tightly and said firmly, "No matter what happens, we will face it together."

They continued to move forward, and the passage gradually became brighter, as if the exit was just ahead.

A large area of ​​water appeared in front of the passage, with white foam floating on the surface.

Xiao Ran stopped walking while holding Xiao Yu, and Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao also stopped.

"What is this?" Xiao Ran asked.

Lin Che walked to the water's edge and squatted down. He extended his hand, and ripples appeared on the water's surface. A surge of energy spread from his palm.

"Something's moving in the water," Lin Che said. "It feels like some kind of creature." Lu Zhao took out a small detector and scanned the water surface. "There's a metallic reaction underwater. This isn't just ordinary stagnant water."

"What metal?" Su Wanqing asked.

"It looks like some kind of detection device," Lu Zhao said. "It's distributed in a very regular pattern."

Xiao Ran hugged Xiao Yu tightly in his arms: "We have to find a way to get there."

Lin Che stood up and said, "I'll try to use my supernatural power to separate the water."

He stretched his hands forward, and the water began to part, forming a narrow channel.

But at this moment, there was a violent vibration in the water.

"Be careful!" Lu Zhao shouted.

Several dark shadows swam quickly in the water, hitting the walls of the passage created by Lin Che.

Beads of sweat appeared on Lin Che's forehead as he increased his supernatural power output.

"Go!" he said. "I don't know how much longer I can keep this up."

Xiao Ran walked first, holding Xiao Yu, followed closely by Su Wanqing. Lu Zhao walked last, continuing to monitor the underwater situation with the detector.

"These metal devices," Lu Zhao said, "are likely used to monitor energy fluctuations."

"I can't worry about that now," Su Wanqing said, "Let's go over there first."

The creatures in the water collided more and more violently, and Lin Che's passage began to shake.

He clenched his teeth and his hands trembled slightly.

"Lin Che, can you still hold on?" Su Wanqing asked worriedly.

"I'm fine," Lin Che said, "You guys go quickly."

At this moment, a huge black shadow rushed out from underwater and crashed into the wall of the passage.

Lin Che groaned and took a step back, but still maintained the passage.

"These bastards," Xiao Ran said angrily, "deliberately set a trap here."

"They don't take human life seriously at all," Xiao Ran continued, "These traps are meant to prevent anyone from escaping."

"Calm down," Su Wanqing said, "The most important thing now is to get through safely. We can investigate these things later."

As they continued forward, Lin Che's face grew paler and paler. The creatures in the water continued to crash into them, but the passage remained stable.

"How far is it?" Lin Che asked, his voice a little hoarse.

"We're almost there," Lu Zhao said, "Hold on a little longer."

Finally, Xiao Ran, holding Xiao Yu, reached the other side first. Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao also made it safely.

Lin Che was the last one, and he retreated while maintaining the passage.

When Lin Che's feet touched the other side, he immediately lowered his hands. The water suddenly closed in, and several dark figures tossed in the water for a few times before sinking back into the depths.

"Are you okay?" Su Wanqing supported the shaking Lin Che.

Lin Che nodded: "It took a bit of effort, just take a break."

Lu Zhao looked at the data from the detectors: "These detection devices form a network. If there are strong energy fluctuations, such as our superpowers, they will be recorded."

"You mean they are monitoring this place?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It's very likely," Lu Zhao said, "but now is not the time to study this. We have to keep going."

Su Wanqing took out a bottle of water from the space and handed it to Lin Che: "Drink some water first and recover."

Lin Che took the bottle and drank half of it in one gulp. His complexion improved slightly.

"Thank you," he said. "Let's go."

As everyone continued to move forward, the water behind them returned to calm, with only sporadic bubbles floating on the surface.

Lu Zhao put away the detector, but his expression remained solemn.

"Those devices," he said, "are very sophisticated. They're not something you could make in an ordinary research institute."

"Who do you think did it?" Su Wanqing asked.

Lu Zhao shook his head: "It's hard to say for now. However, the technological level of these devices is very high, and they may be related to the 'Biological Reset Plan'."

"After we get out," Xiao Ran said, "we must find out everything."

They continued on their way, and Xiao Yu fell asleep in Xiao Ran's arms. After the energy burst just now, she needed rest to recover.

Lin Che was walking last, his pace having returned to normal. Although he had just consumed a lot of energy, his recovery ability was very strong.

“Those creatures in the water,” he said, “don’t feel natural.”

"What do you mean?" Su Wanqing asked.

"Their behavior is so regular," Lin Che said, "It's like they're controlled by a program."

Lu Zhao thought thoughtfully: "You are right. They may be artificially cultivated biological weapons."

"This place," Xiao Ran said, "is more complicated than we imagined."
