Binding to the nation's destiny: Start by choosing the underworld, where a hundred ghosts parad

Once a valve is opened, there's no way to stop it. Li Mo is curious about what happened next and where Huang Jilin went.

There are no bodies here. Does that mean they were eventually taken to the lab?

I was unconscious at the beach. Could it be that I actually woke up in the lab, and something happened afterward that caused my amnesia?

That's possible, and Li Mo plans to keep watching.

"That day, the maid actually came to beg me to save the uncle, saying that he didn't want to become a test subject. I was shocked. I hadn't gone out for the past few days, so I went out with the maid. What surprised me was that in just a few days, everyone except the two of them had become test subjects?! Now it's the uncle's turn. This is terrifying. Have they gone mad?"

"I hate myself so much for not being on guard and just passing out like that."

"When I woke up, I was no longer in the laboratory; I had somehow returned to my basement."

"I don't know how the maid is doing, or even how the maid is doing."

"They locked the basement door from the top. They left me some food and water here. Am I being held captive?"

Li Mo didn't linger and turned directly to the next page.

"It was a very chaotic day. Three days had passed since I was imprisoned. I didn't know what was happening outside. I could often hear screams of 417 coming from the entrance to the basement."

"But the entrance is made of special materials. It looks ordinary but is very sturdy, so things from the outside can't get in. I'm not worried."

"But this isn't normal. Even if they were in extreme pain, the sounds wouldn't be heard from inside the lab. So, are they no longer in the lab? What happened?"

"I finally saw them today, but I would rather not have seen them. The moment the basement door opened, I was prepared to die."

"Because I estimated that besides them and me, there were no other test subjects left to experiment on. Was it my turn? I think I should have been very calm at the time, but things didn't go as I expected. They actually used themselves as test subjects?!"

"I see them, completely unrecognizable. I admit I'm terrified. Knowing is one thing, but seeing it with my own eyes is another! What is it? Is the experiment really that important?! I don't understand!!"

Li Mo was quite surprised when he saw this. It turned out that the participants in this experiment had not even spared himself in the end.

He is now very curious about what kind of experiment it is.

Are those monsters in the forest outside the same people who used to live here?

No, the numbers don't match up. Besides, even if they were experimental subjects, they were still human beings and would have a lifespan. This diary is over eighty years old, so these people are probably long dead.

With these questions in mind, Li Mo continued reading.

"I've been thinking about what I heard yesterday all day. They actually told me to leave here. The experiment failed, the drug was broken, and they all came into direct contact with the drug, so they're destined to become monsters like the other test subjects—monsters without thoughts or feelings."

"They also said that if I don't leave, I'll become like them. I want to leave, but not like this."

"Although I don't like them, they are indeed my parents in name only. I plan to go out and see the results of the experiment."

"What if there's a chance to salvage the situation? I'm setting off now. If I come back, it means I've succeeded. If I don't come back, that's okay too. I have no other relatives in this world, only them. Let me go with them!"

Li Mo flipped through the pages after reading this, but there were no other records.

This means that Huang Jilin never came back after he left?!

Fortunately, the basement should be sturdy, and perhaps they can hide from the monster's final attack in this basement. Thinking of this, Li Mo looked up at the others.

Gao Xuan and Xiao Zhang are not here; they must have gone out.

Seeing that Li Mo had finished reading, Xiao Jia and Fei Fei came over and said, "Let's hide here!"

Li Mo nodded in agreement: "I didn't expect there to be such a thing here. I just don't know where the laboratory is. Surely there must be something we can get our hands on inside."

Feifei shrugged: "You'll see later. As long as you survive to the end, you're the biggest winner. All the reasons and truths are unimportant. It's not worth the risk. There's no mission and no reward anyway."

Hearing Feifei's serious expression, Li Mo smiled.

He knew that Feifei was telling him this, meaning not to cause any unnecessary trouble and implicate them.

"Don't worry, I know. I won't take any risks. What about Gao Xuan and Xiao Zhang?"

Feifei seemed relieved and explained.

"While you were reading the diary, we all decided to stay here, so they went out to get something."

Li Mo glanced at the entrance to the basement and walked over.

"I'll go up and help too, you guys wait here." With that, she went up the stairs.

Li Mo found them on the second floor and went over to help them.

After all the things were moved into the basement, he looked at the location of the basement entrance and felt somewhat worried.

Previously, this area was hidden under the carpet, but now that it's exposed, isn't it a bit too obvious?

Moreover, he discovered that these monsters were not mindless, as Huang Jilin had written in his diary.

On the contrary, they can communicate with each other, but it's unknown whether they are descendants of those monsters.

Thinking of this, Li Mo shuddered and extinguished the unrealistic ideas in his mind.

Just like Feifei said, as long as you survive the game time, that's all that matters.

Li Mo didn't go down; instead, he stayed up there. Xiao Zhang noticed that Li Mo hadn't come down and curiously looked up at him.

"Brother Mo, why don't you come down? We don't know when this monster will appear. It's safer to come down!"

"I'm thinking, should we cover up this entrance? The last wave of monsters won't let us off easily. The villa's door has been broken open, so these monsters might come after us. This place is too obvious."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhang felt that Li Mo was right, so he climbed up the stairs, came to Li Mo's side, and squatted down at the entrance to the basement.

"Yeah, so how do we cover it up? Move something up there? But the thing is too heavy, we can't move it from down there, and even restoring this carpet would be a huge hassle."

Li Mo paced back and forth at the door, observing the surroundings.

Looking at the dark sky outside, he said to Xiao Zhang, who was squatting to the side, "Go upstairs and turn on all the lights you can. Be careful, and then come down immediately. I know what to do."

Gao Xuan, who was below, also climbed up and happened to hear Li Mo's words. He then sat on the floor at the entrance to the basement.

"I'll go with Xiao Zhang; that way, we can look out for each other."

After saying that, he went upstairs with Xiao Zhang. Li Mo said to Fei Fei and Xiao Jia in the basement, "You two can stay here. I'm going to turn on the lights in the other places on the first floor. I'll be back in a bit."

After receiving a response from Xiao Jia and Fei Fei, Li Mo turned on all the lights around them.

It must be said that the game settings at this point were quite reliable; the lights could be turned on and there was no damage to the wiring.

During the brief intervals between turning on the lights, Li Mo also tried to find the underground laboratory that Huang Jilin had mentioned, but unfortunately, he found no clues.

Due to time constraints, there are currently three hours left until the game ends.

Li Mo didn't want to cause any more trouble. By the time he returned to the basement entrance, everyone else had already come back.

"What do you want to do? Do you need my help? When Xiao Zhang and I turned on the lights just now, we saw some commotion in the forest. I suspect the monster is coming."

Li Mo didn't notice, but he didn't doubt what Gao Xuan said and nodded.

"You all go in, I can manage by myself."

Li Mo moved the still relatively intact sofa to the outside of the stairs to cover it up, and then turned on the wall lamps.

Finally, a thin thread was wrapped around one corner of the carpet.

Then, after everyone else went into the basement, Li Mo draped the treated carpet over the lid.

Li Mo handed the wire to Gao Xuan inside and asked him to close the basement door from the inside. After doing this several times, Li Mo adjusted a few details.

They could already hear sounds from the forest outside before finally entering the basement.

Based on the previous experimental results, the basement door was closed from the inside.

Finally, another layer of iron bars was closed.

The group of them waited quietly in the basement where Huang Jilin lived.

The final game time has passed.

If they can just endure the last three hours, they will be able to finish this agonizing dungeon.

Because the sofa was big enough, everyone sat down to rest.

Li Mo did not let his guard down. Together with Gao Xuan and Xiao Zhang, they set up their weapons on the stairs to ensure that they would have no chance to fight back if the monster discovered them.

After everything was prepared, everyone just sat there in a daze. Li Mo, bored, picked up a book and casually flipped through it.

Suddenly everyone heard a sound coming from above, like something being thrown to the ground. It was quite far away, probably from the kitchen.

They exchanged glances, and from each other's eyes, they could tell that a monster had arrived.

This sound seemed to be the beginning of a series of events, as various other sounds followed one after another.

There were knocking sounds, the sound of rummaging through drawers, and even the roar of a monster, which made the few people in the basement tremble with fear, worried that they would be discovered.

I don't know if this place is really that hidden, but the entrance to the basement has never been found.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half hours had passed, and now they only had half an hour left before they had to leave the game.

The sounds of the monsters outside did not stop at all.

With another loud rumble, it sounded like something collapsing, so loud that even Li Mo was startled.

At the same time, before anyone else could react, the basement lights started flashing wildly.

Startled, Xiao Jia immediately ran to Fei Fei's side, and the group of them automatically huddled together.

Li Mo lowered his voice to comfort them: "Don't panic, it must have been the collapse that damaged the power lines. We'll be fine. They haven't found us yet, have they? Everyone, stay calm and don't make a sound. We don't have much time left, just hang in there."

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, the lights on the basement ceiling went out instantly.

Fortunately, with Li Mo's help, everyone else was prepared.

Feifei and Xiaojia, in particular, did not panic and cry out.

With a click, a beam of light appeared in An's basement. After the light appeared, everyone calmed down a lot.

Xiao Jia pointed at Li Mo in surprise and asked in a low voice, "How come you have a flashlight? Did you not finish using it before?"

Li Mo smiled and explained, "I got this when I fell off the cliff last time. I didn't expect it to still be usable. I was just about to try it out."
