No strange things are allowed to evolve!

However, such a search cannot be a full-scale search of the entire laboratory from the outset. It is impossible for anyone to run that fast. Therefore, if manpower is dispersed to conduct a comprehensive investigation, not only will the efficiency be very low, but there will also be many blind spots due to insufficient manpower.

Therefore, the security personnel initially focused their search on the area near the observation room where he was being held.

If they don't find him nearby, they will definitely continue searching upwards, while also setting up defenses at various passes in order to form an encirclement and sweep.

Therefore, the places they have just searched will become the safest places for hiding things under the lamplight.

As long as you follow the search team, you will be safe. The only thing you need to watch out for is the people guarding the key passages.

In other words, it makes the searchers think they are in front, but in fact they are following behind.

The plan was perfect, but it had one crucial prerequisite.

That means first and foremost avoiding their search of the area near the observation room.

Based on the intelligence we have so far, there should be no surveillance cameras in the corridor, because if there were, the announcements would have started immediately.

But the voice over the loudspeaker just kept telling everyone to be careful, instructing researchers not to leave the office, and urging security personnel to search.

This is one of the few advantages Jiang Shu currently has.

So he decided to take a gamble.

He quickly retreated, spotted an office he had previously observed that had only one person in it, pushed the door open, and went straight inside.

Just as he closed the door, the double doors at the ends of both sides of the corridor were simultaneously pushed open inwards.

Many fully armed security personnel pushed the vehicle along.

Both sides had the same setup and tactics. The two people in front held riot shields, and behind the riot shields were several dark gun barrels. The people on the flanks were always on alert for any threats that might appear on both sides, while a few people were left behind to guard the exits on both sides.

They were clearly a well-trained special forces unit.

Soon, both sides' troops simultaneously pushed into the observation room where Jiang Shu had escaped.

But they found nothing.

"They probably didn't go too far. Could they be hiding in some office?"

"Possibly, search!"

Then they began searching each office one by one.

However, despite their meticulous investigation, they still came up empty-handed.

Until one of the team members heard a suspicious sound as he arrived outside an ordinary office.

The dull sound seemed to be the sound of tables and chairs being hit.

Are people fighting?

What's even more suspicious is that he couldn't see inside from the outside because the curtain inside the bulletproof glass was drawn.

This made him suddenly wary.

He called over a few companions, and together they cautiously gathered around the door. He carefully placed his hand on the doorknob, then leaned against the wall and suddenly pushed the door open.

They were greeted with a scream.

The tense expressions on the faces of the team members, who had been on high alert, vanished instantly, replaced by awkwardness and bewilderment.

In front of him, a disheveled researcher lay on the desk. Hearing his voice, the researcher raised his head, crossed his arms over his chest to protect himself, and stared at him in panic.

Between her legs, an adult anteater was foraging for food.

Hearing the noise, the adult anteater, whose face was obscured by a lace panty covering its head, turned around and questioned the team members, "Why didn't you knock?"

The team members then realized what had happened and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, I really apologize for bothering you."

After saying that, the team member quickly left the room and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Standing outside the door, the group looked at each other in silence, their awkwardness palpable.

Is this some new research?

"No...no way?"

"Then why...?"

"I think they're probably thirsty..."

"Is...is that so? I guess so..."

The news that they had searched all the rooms but found nothing soon reached the captain.

The captain was puzzled: "That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that he knows the terrain very well and escaped before we arrived?"

“It’s possible, Captain.” One of his subordinates immediately chimed in, “The test subjects don’t eat or drink here, so their daily comings and goings, no matter how complicated the route, could be recorded.”

The other person nodded in agreement: "And although we arrived immediately, nobody knows exactly when he escaped. The intelligence we received only said that he was suddenly discovered to be missing, right?"

After a moment's thought, the captain asked his team members, "Are you sure you haven't found anyone suspicious?"

The team members all shook their heads: "No."

The team members who brushed past Jiang Shu were among them.

Although their faces were obscured by their underwear, making it impossible to see their features clearly, they all believed that what they had just seen was researchers engaging in recreational activities.

Otherwise, the female researcher wouldn't have seemed to be enjoying herself so much.

The two must be very familiar with each other.

"Is that so..." The captain could only nod: "Then continue to investigate outwards. We must not let him leave this floor."

"Yes!"

Under the captain's command, the security personnel left the office area.

Jiang Shu witnessed all of this, and after they left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that we've gotten through the toughest part, all we need to do is follow the sweeping team and we can perfectly block their line of sight.

Thinking of this, he pulled the underwear off his head and returned it to the woman in front of him.

"Thank you so much."

The woman put her lab coat back on, crossed her legs, and lit a cigarette: "Wipe your mouth first."

"Huh? Oh." Jiang Shu then realized that her face was now wet.

He took the tissue the woman offered, wiped his face briefly, and then had time to examine the woman in front of him.

The other person is of a certain age, looking to be in their late thirties or early forties, but it's also possible that they take good care of themselves, making them look younger than their actual age.

Although she was without makeup and had a bare face, she still couldn't hide her natural beauty and unique intellectual charm.

For people with such depth and maturity, a few fine wrinkles and a hint of weariness between their brows and eyes only make them appear more charming.

In fact, Jiang Shu had not initially thought of using this method to evade the search. Although it proved to be very effective, he initially thought that there was only one person in the office, and if he used [Sacrifice], he could easily gain a connection to help him cover up by satisfying the other party's current needs.

But I never expected that the other person would be such a repressed person.

Perhaps it's the emptiness caused by constantly facing a bunch of cold instruments and data.

In short, Jiang Shu was surprised to find that the other person seemed to really crave being forced to love.

And this happens to be within Jiang Shu's area of ​​expertise.

He had indeed had this need before, so he studied it specifically and knew a little bit about it.

Of course, this is just Jiang Shu's modest way of speaking; in fact, he can be considered a master in this field.

So, with just a few simple actions and words, he won over this woman whose inner self and outward appearance were completely different.

Although the other party soon discovered that Jiang Shu was not any of the colleagues she had ever liked, it didn't matter at this point, because Jiang Shu was obviously better than the colleagues she had imagined.

So even though she had already realized that Jiang Shu might be the extremely dangerous experimental subject who had escaped, as mentioned in the broadcast, she decided to consider what to do later.

In short, the arrow is on the string and must be released.

"If I had to say something, I should thank you." The woman exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with some lingering satisfaction, "It made me feel young again."

"Sister, you're too kind. You're great too," Jiang Shu replied instinctively.

But he quickly realized something was wrong.

Jiang Shu couldn't help but laugh at himself.

He said it was a professional hazard.

Seeing him smirk, the woman immediately asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Shu waved his hand, unwilling to explain further, and simply said, "I have something to do, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he tried to slip away.

But the woman called out to him.

"Wait, what will I do if you leave?" The woman stubbed out her cigarette, a half-smile on her face. "If you get arrested outside, those guys might recognize you and implicate me."

Jiang Shu frowned. It seemed that the other party had already discovered her true identity and had not believed her claim that she was just a colleague who admired her.

So he simply stopped pretending.

"Are you going to turn around and report me without recognizing me?"

The woman waved her hand: "It's not that serious. I'm just afraid you'll drag me into this. On the other hand, as long as you don't involve me, I won't care what you do to me."

Jiang Shu breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "I will be careful."

To Jiang Shu's surprise, the woman still shook her head: "You still don't understand what I mean. What I mean is, I want to help you and make sure you don't get caught and implicate me."

Oh, she's quite the tsundere.

Chapter 261 The Resurrection Flow

On the one hand, she says she doesn't care about your life or death at all, but on the other hand, she tries her best to help you and finds some plausible and high-sounding reasons. In Jiang Shu's opinion, this is just being arrogant.

However, Jiang Shu soon realized that he seemed to have misunderstood the other party.

Because the method proposed by the other party is really not a good solution.

She actually made Jiang Shu pretend to be a corpse.

Of course, if it were just a matter of covering it with a white cloth, Jiang Shu would still be able to accept it.

The problem is, that's clearly not what the woman meant, otherwise she wouldn't have retorted, "Are you treating those professional soldiers like idiots?"

Upon closer inspection, it makes sense.

Pushing a small cart with a person lying down so openly is such a big target that any normal person with eyes would definitely notice it.

Jiang Shu was confused; how was it supposed to be disguised as a corpse?

The woman explained, "Test subjects here often die because they can't withstand the high intensity of the experiments. After they die, their bodies are temporarily stored in the morgue after it is confirmed that there is no danger, as another resource to await the next stage of deployment."

Every so often, these corpses would be transported to the second basement level to become materials for researchers there to conduct artificial human experiments.

So as long as your disguised corpse can fool the search, you can successfully reach the next level. And once you leave this level in this way, your life or death will be completely none of my concern.

Simply put, Jiang Shu can die anywhere, just not here with her.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu nodded, at least now he knew where he was.

Three underground floors... which means I have to climb at least three more floors to reach the surface before I can escape.

However, there was one thing he still didn't quite understand.

"You still haven't said how to disguise yourself as a corpse? And why are you so sure that if I get arrested, it won't implicate you?"

"Come with me."

After confirming that everyone else was hiding in their offices out of fear of the escaped test subjects and that the corridor remained quiet and empty, the woman secretly led Jiang Shu to the morgue.

Before seeing the corpses, Jiang Shu was still wondering that no matter how well he disguised himself, once the body bag was opened, he would be found. Wouldn't it be terrible if he were surrounded?

If Jiang Shu hadn't fulfilled the woman's immediate desire, like a demon reaping half of her soul and confirming that she wouldn't harm him, Jiang Shu would probably have suspected that this was a trap set for him.

But when Jiang Shu actually arrived at the morgue and casually opened a freezer, he finally understood why the woman was so confident that she could evade the search by pretending to be a corpse.

It is unknown what kind of inhuman treatment these corpses suffered before they died. In any case, after they died, they were either unrecognizable, missing limbs, or even completely disassembled like Gundams, the kind that would be difficult to save even with super assembly.

For them, living might be more painful than dying.

"How...how do I disguise myself like this?"
