Life Dungeon Game

"That is!"

The girl smiled and pinched the faded hem of her clothes.

······

He Ao withdrew his gaze, turned around, and continued walking forward.

The humidity in the air was getting higher and higher, and the dampness, carrying a slight chill, brushed against He Ao's cheeks.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and the dim streetlights shone through the hazy clouds, blurring people's vision.

He Ao stopped in his tracks.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't eaten all day.

He reached into his pocket, intending to find a fast food restaurant to buy something to eat.

But just as he reached into his pocket, he paused for a moment.

He pulled a slightly deformed small box out of his coat pocket.

It was a small, simply packaged cake; the box had writing on it in pen.

[Silly Dad, remember to eat.]

There will be another update later; this one is to make up for the daytime update.

Chapter 483 Entering the Stars Pharmaceutical Building (Two chapters, 7,000 words, please vote!)

So, was the little girl baking a cake after all that fuss?

He smiled and put the small cake back into his pocket.

He then found a fast food restaurant nearby, bought a few hot dogs to fill his stomach, and a cup of hot coffee before slowly walking towards the Qunxing Pharmaceutical Building.

He did not go directly to the main entrance.

The building is heavily guarded, and information from the communication reports between Reed and Qunxing Pharmaceuticals suggests that the building is divided into two areas: a public area and a research and development area for Qunxing Pharmaceuticals.

You can find a way to sneak into the public areas, but the research and development area is not connected to the public areas; it is accessed through a separate, secret passage.

Finding this passage was not difficult. With Chao Yi's help, He Ao quickly found the entrance to an underground parking lot near Qunxing Pharmaceuticals.

Many vehicles come and go here, including quite a few bearing the logo of Stars Pharmaceuticals.

Entering this underground parking lot requires strict security checks, including identity verification via a chip implanted in the body.

Intruders without a chip will be attacked indiscriminately.

He witnessed firsthand how a rat that had wandered into the parking lot was charred into a crisp by an auto-aiming laser cannon.

In the end, He Ao did not take immediate action, but instead leaned against the shadows not far from the entrance, quietly watching the passing vehicles.

He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to go directly to the deepest part of the building.

A white mist was already visible in the surrounding area, and the hazy fog enveloped the entire street.

He Ao waved his hand in the mist. Unlike the previous dampness, this mist was not cold and biting. Instead, it was filled with a faint, comfortable feeling.

There were still blurry figures walking around.

People weren't surprised by the fog, but they were somewhat surprised by the timing of its appearance.

Every year, the Limen Market is often shrouded in fog for a few days.

These foggy days come and go quickly, and do not affect people's normal work and life.

However, those foggy days are more common in early spring each year, and it is not the season for foggy weather now.

That's why people are surprised by the heat of the season, but their emotions only remain at the level of surprise.

Abnormal weather is common, but reducing your work efficiency because of these abnormalities will cost you your job.

Amidst the thick fog, a dark red semi-trailer truck, towing a long container, drove toward the entrance to the underground parking lot.

This wasn't the first semi-trailer truck He Ao had seen enter this peculiar parking lot entrance, but this one was unlike any of the others.

The container in the truck was filled with the scent of life, and the gaps between the wheels were filled with fresh grass and soil, proving that it had come straight from the wilderness.

Although the research institute's documents never mentioned the location of the laboratory for developing the enhancement agent, He Ao keenly noticed a detail.

Every time a new or experimental enhancement potion is available, the research institute in Limen City is able to obtain it immediately. Furthermore, the mercenary groups outside Limen City are also equipped with a large number of what appear to be other star systems.

The enhancement potions that the pharmaceutical mercenary group did not have.

This proves that the laboratory researching the enhancement potion is not far from the research institute and the mercenary group, and is most likely located within the city.

The research on the enhancement agent requires the supply of life-giving agents and the 'Fountain of Life', as well as a large number of advanced instruments. In addition, there are hidden research areas within the Starry Sky Pharmaceutical Building.

Therefore, He Ao speculated that the laboratory for the enhancement agent was most likely located inside the Starry Sky Pharmaceutical Building, and that the initial preparation of the life-saving agent should also have been done here.

Judging from the ingredients used to prepare the enhancement potion, the research on the enhancement potion requires the blood of fresh and powerful alien beasts. Once the alien beasts die, their blood will gradually lose its activity, and their extraordinary power will gather in certain parts of their bodies.

Therefore, He Ao speculated that Qunxing Pharmaceuticals might have directly used live, wild beasts captured from the wilderness to conduct experiments.

It is unlikely that each of these surviving alien beasts has been implanted with a specific chip.

Therefore, vehicles carrying alien beasts should be able to obtain some kind of 'exemption'.

He Ao used his nighttime movement to blend into the darkness and entered the container through the shadowy gaps.

Then a mixture of various foul odors rushed into his nostrils.

A dense array of strange beasts came into his view.

These strange beasts all seemed to have fallen into some kind of slumber. They were motionless, but their bodies seemed to be rising and falling slightly, proving that they were still alive.

They were placed in narrow cages, stacked in shipping containers.

The container was packed so tightly that there was no room for anyone to move around.

However, this has little impact on Heo, who can travel at night.

After checking several alien beasts and confirming that none of them had embedded chips, He Ao found a relatively empty cage and sat on a sleeping lion-like alien beast.

The lion was sleeping soundly when it suddenly felt something pressing down on it.

It tried to struggle to turn over, but the thing didn't budge.

It struggled, as if it was about to wake up.

Then a fist shrouded in darkness descended from the sky, helping it fall asleep again.

He shifted his body, completely concealing himself from the lion, and then disappeared into the darkness.

This is to avoid intelligent scanning devices.

The truck moved slowly.

After a certain bump, the vehicle seemed to begin to move downhill.

He passed through security smoothly and entered the 'underground parking lot'.

The car then drove slowly, stopping and starting, seemingly passing through several security checkpoints before continuing its steady, stealthy journey.

He Ao waited in the car for about half an hour before the car slowly came to a stop and began to reverse.

Immediately afterwards, He Ao felt the container enter a device similar to an elevator and begin to rise rapidly.

He used night walking to escape the container and stood on top of it.

This appears to be a spacious mechanical elevator shaft.

Beneath the container was a huge platform, which was now lifting the container rapidly upwards. He Aoneng could feel the wind in the elevator shaft brushing against his cheeks, making his coat flutter loudly.

Soon, the 'elevator' stopped, and what appeared before He Ao was a room filled with lights and various...

A huge operating platform for various types of robotic arms.

A giant robotic arm extends from behind the container, pushing it onto a platform. Then, a series of thin robotic arms extend, open the container doors, and quickly pull out the cages containing the alien beasts, placing them on an assembly line.

He Ao jumped onto a cage and moved forward along the assembly line, where robotic arms emerged from the darkness.

The robotic arms at the front injected what appeared to be an anesthetic into each of the alien beasts in the cages, and then the robotic arms at the back opened the cages, separating them from the alien beasts.

He jumped onto a walkway next to the conveyor belt that seemed to be for maintenance personnel, and quickly moved forward along the walkway.

Then mechanical hooks extended and hoisted the beasts up.

Then, one after another, robotic arms extended, intelligently identifying the types of the alien beasts and precisely plunging their knives into the major arteries of these beasts.

The blood, glowing red, flowed out instantly and fell into the blood groove beneath the beast.

The trail turns here, and He Ao walks along the trail to the other side.

This walkway is a steel walkway suspended in mid-air, with only simple railings on both sides.

He looked down and saw a huge pool of blood, glowing red, appear in his field of vision.

As he watched, the blood pool churned as fresh blood poured in, and a humanoid corpse emerged from it.

His body was completely covered in blood, but judging from the degree to which his body was preserved in this extraordinary blood, he may have been a powerful superhuman in the past.

He Ao gripped the railing with a little force, squeezing it and creating a dent.

It seems that Starry Sky Pharmaceuticals has gone even further than he imagined; their research materials include not only alien beasts but also humans.

Just then, some sounds came from above He Ao's head.

He looked up and saw a huge, long, horizontal window above him, with people in lab coats walking past it.

He vaguely spotted a familiar figure among those people.

He continued his nighttime journey, quickly gliding across the trail.

After passing through the blood pool, there are steps leading downwards.

He Ao went down the stairs and finally arrived at a small, locked iron door.

He stealthily passed through the small iron gate, and a narrow, dark corridor came into view.

Rows of fully enclosed protective suits hung in the corridor, seemingly for maintenance personnel to change into.

At the end of the corridor was a small door. He Ao walked through the door at night, and a changing room came into view. There were some inner protective suits and some lab coats hanging there.
