The dean picked up the small bottle, looked at it, and shook it gently, but still couldn't figure it out.

Just as he was about to open the lid, Ling Wenchen stopped him.

"Dean, is it possible to detect the contents of a bottle without smelling it?"

The dean paused,

Suddenly remembering something, he stared wide-eyed at Ling Wenchen in disbelief, then at his teacher.

The division commander nodded.

At that moment, the small bottle in his hand felt so heavy that he almost dropped it.

Startled, she quickly covered herself with her hands, saying, "You guys, in the future, please tell me about these things earlier. I'm really afraid I've made a mistake."

He then left hastily after saying "wait",

They took everything from Xiaoxiao's dormitory and assigned someone to guard the entrance. Then, the division commander and Ling Wenchen turned to find the dean.

...

In the deep pit on the edge of the southern area,

Zhou Wuzhong had just come out of the laboratory when he saw that they had brought him the 'thing' he wanted.

He chuckled, clearly in a good mood, "Looks like your trip went very smoothly?"

The dark-skinned man lowered his head.

"Mr. Zhou, we—"

"He only brought his apprentice. They failed there; they were stopped by the army as soon as they reached the gate. We almost—"

"Slap!" A slap landed hard on the dark-skinned man's face, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"waste!"

"You can't even handle this small matter? Are you all useless now?" Zhou Wuzhong said coldly.

The dark-skinned man immediately knelt down, head bowed.

"Please forgive us, Mr. Zhou. We have absolutely not neglected our duties and have been training according to your requirements every day without the slightest slackening."

Zhou Wuzhong ignored her and instead looked coldly at Xiaoxiao, his eyes flashing with a hint that if she didn't offer him something good, then he shouldn't blame him.

Nurse Xiaoxiao, expressionless, took off the basket on her back, lifted the cloth cover, and revealed the unconscious Jiang Yuyan.

Zhou Wuzhong paused for a moment when he saw Jiang Yuyan.

He slowly walked towards her, gently stroking her delicate face with his fingertips, and said regretfully...

"It would be such a pity to ruin such a beautiful woman."

"But, since you're that pharmacist's apprentice, I might have felt a little more pity for you if you weren't his apprentice—"

Nurse Xiaoxiao coldly interrupted his monologue.

"Mr. Zhou, we have received word from the organization that if you fail to develop a new empowering drug and an antidote within a week, all your funding will be revoked."

Zhou Wuzhong gave her a cold glance.

He slowly took out his gun, gently raised it, and aimed it at her.

"I hate being ordered around. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do that to you?"

Even so, Nurse Xiaoxiao didn't blink once, like a heartless 'robot'.

Her tone remained unchanged, "Mr. Zhou, I'm just relaying the organization's message to you. Even if you want to target me, you might not be able to."

Zhou Wuzhong: "..."

He put the gun away, clicking his tongue in disdain, "What a heartless 'robot'."

"Put this woman in Lab Number Two. I'm going to use her as a test subject for a new drug later."

"Yes!" Nurse Xiaoxiao replied indifferently.

They immediately shouldered their baskets and entered Laboratory No. 2.

The deep pit was divided into many spaces of different sizes.

Half of it was used as a laboratory, the other half as a prison, and the remaining half as a dormitory.

Laboratory No. 1 is Zhou Wuzhong's studio, which contains a lot of his research materials. Generally, no one except him is allowed to enter at will.

Laboratory No. 2 was used to develop new drugs, while the rest of the laboratories were filled with corpses whose bodies had been injected with the drug.

Laboratory No. 2 is currently empty, with only Jiang Yuyan as the experimental subject.

Zhou Wuzhong changed into a white lab coat and was about to head towards Laboratory No. 2.

The dark-skinned man rushed over.

"Mr. Zhou, this is bad! There are a lot of troops searching over the cliff. If we don't do anything about it, they'll find us here soon."

Zhou Wuzhong's aura turned cold.

"Don't tell me you left traces that allowed people to track you here?"

The dark-skinned man was sweating profusely. "Sorry—"

"Bang, bang..."

The gun struck him hard on the head, instantly causing his head to bleed profusely.

Even in this state, the dark-skinned man dared not faint or move an inch.

"Damn it!"

"Nothing about them pleases me, a bunch of good-for-nothings who just eat and do nothing—"

Zhou Wuzhong waved his hand dismissively and gave the order.

"Get up and call the others to take out those soldiers. I'm in dire need of test subjects for my new drug."

"Yes!" The dark-skinned man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and staggered out.

Zhou Wuzhong glanced back at Nurse Xiaoxiao, who stood motionless like a puppet.

"Stay here and wait until I go out and deal with those 'rats,' then I'll come back—"

Nurse Xiaoxiao disagreed.

"Mr. Zhou, I advise you not to go out. The Chinese military is no joke. You don't have the fighting skills, and your gun might not be effective against them."

"snort!"

"The gun is useless, but I have other poisons. I'm in a bad mood right now, and it'll be hard for me to calmly conduct the experiments if I don't vent."

Without waiting for her to say anything more, Zhou Wuzhong turned and left.

Completely oblivious to the cold smile that Nurse Xiaoxiao gave behind him, "Idiot!"

"What a fool who's eagerly courting death!"

After coldly criticizing, Nurse Xiaoxiao returned to the entrance of Laboratory No. 2 and stood still.

A group of people dressed in strange uniforms appeared at the entrance of a cave a little below the cliff. They hid at the entrance and listened to the movements above the cliff.

At that moment, a platoon of soldiers from the Southern Border Force of the Dragon Kingdom were conducting a thorough search of every inch of the cliff.

They swept a wire around the edge of the cliff, and some soldiers even brought their dogs.

I let the dog sniff Xiaoxiao's clothes, and then let it find people.

As the barbed wire swept down to the vicinity of the cliff below, everyone inside the cave held their breath, staring intently at the wire.

The barbed wire quickly swept towards the cave entrance, and they couldn't help but swallow hard, a cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief when the wire swept over other areas and found nothing unusual.

Before they could catch their breath, they suddenly heard a loud barking from above the cave entrance, which startled them.

"Woof woof woof—"

"What's going on? Did the dogs discover something?"

"I don't know. It just keeps stopping here and meowing. I looked down, but it doesn't seem like anything's wrong."

"Check carefully and see what's going on below."

"yes!"

The soldier had just straightened up and was about to go down the cliff to take a look when a bullet pierced his thigh, and he groaned.

The sound of the gunshot instantly attracted the attention of the other soldiers.

"There are people at the bottom of the cliff!"

"Quick, pull Lao Liu up, someone come and help stop the bleeding."

"The rest of you, come with me and capture the people at the bottom of the cliff."

Border soldiers are familiar with this kind of thing.

They worked in pairs, one providing cover while the other jumped down, raised their guns, and swept the enemy off guard.

Before they could react, they jumped into the cave and, one by one, killed everyone at the entrance.

They went up to check if they had really fainted, and only after confirming that they were truly unconscious did they let their teammates down from above.

They confiscated all their weapons and carefully searched their bodies for other items they had hidden.

Not entirely at ease, they stripped them down to their underwear before tying them all up.

"Report, there's another passage inside this cave—"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
