At two in the morning, deep within the fifth underground level of the secret Experimental Base, the silence was as profound as a grave. The air was thick with the scent of machine oil and disinfectant, irritating Lin Yuan's nostrils. A chill wind seemed to emerge from nowhere, playfully teasing the back of his neck like a mischievous ghost, sending shivers down his spine.
"This place is eerie, feels like something out of a biohazard nightmare," Lin Yuan muttered to himself, shrinking his neck as he tightly clutched the talisman given to him by Su Jiu'er, feeling as if he were holding a hot potato. "I can't believe Jiu'er actually gave me some ancestral charm for protection. If that brat Wang Tianyu sees this, he’ll laugh his head off."
Taking a deep breath, he activated the Invisibility Cloak provided by Wang Tianyu. With a soft hum, reminiscent of a mosquito buzzing, he vanished into the darkness, blending in like a chocolate bean melting into the night, leaving only a faint Spiritual Energy Fluctuation rippling through the air.
"Heh heh, high technology really is something else. Let’s see how you catch me now!" Lin Yuan chuckled to himself, feeling like a mouse that had just stolen some oil, silently giving Wang Tianyu a thumbs up in his mind. "This guy may be a bit off-kilter, but he’s reliable when it counts."
He moved cautiously, using his Gazing Ability to deftly avoid the crisscrossing laser grid and pressure-sensitive plates, navigating like an agile monkey through the trees. The laser grid was dense and flickering with red light, dazzling his eyes; if he touched it even once, he’d probably end up as roasted pork.
"If I step on that thing, I’d definitely turn into barbecue," Lin Yuan thought as he eyed the glowing lasers, swallowing hard and feeling a chill run down his back. "Good thing I have my Gazing Ability; otherwise, I’d be done for today." As he walked, he mentally calculated each step with precision, like a finely-tuned instrument.
Suddenly, the sound of mechanical whirring shattered the laboratory's tranquility, akin to a giant beetle gnawing at the walls. The noise grew closer and clearer, as if an army was charging toward him.
"What the hell?" Lin Yuan's heart raced as he ducked behind a massive pipe. The pipe was rusty and emitted a pungent metallic odor that made him wrinkle his nose. "What is that smell? It’s worse than Old Wang’s feet."
Ten Hound-5 type robots gleamed with metallic luster as they approached from down the corridor, making clicking sounds like skeletal figures dancing. Their eyes glowed red like demons crawling out of hell, sending chills down his spine.
"Wow, those things look intimidating!" Lin Yuan thought to himself in awe, feeling goosebumps prickling on his scalp. "If they catch me, I’ll be torn apart." He held his breath and tried to minimize his presence, pressing against the pipe like a gecko, terrified of making even the slightest noise.
The robots began their patrols, scanning their surroundings with infrared sensors like tireless hounds sniffing for prey. As their beams swept over the pipe where Lin Yuan hid, he felt exposed and vulnerable as if stripped bare.
"Thank goodness for my Invisibility Cloak; otherwise, I’d be toast," he silently rejoiced, feeling like a snail tucked safely inside its shell. Stealing a glance at the robots revealed that their movements seemed somewhat predictable; they appeared to be operating according to a set program. "Looks like these metal hunks aren’t as smart as they seem."
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him. "Heh heh, you think you can play with me? You're still too green!" Lin Yuan's lips curled into a mischievous smile, resembling a cunning fox.
He pulled out a packet of Wang Tianyu's specially formulated Super Sedative from his pocket. The powder was fine and emitted a peculiar fragrance, reminiscent of aged pickled vegetables. "Old Wang has really honed his pharmaceutical skills, but this smell is something I can't compliment."
He discreetly sprinkled the sedative into the ventilation shaft, and the powder quickly spread with the airflow, filling the laboratory with an odd aroma that resembled spoiled soup or the scent of Wang's socks after three days without washing. "This smell is probably unbearable even for flies."
The robots inhaled the sedative, their movements becoming sluggish, like a group of drunken men swaying as they walked. Their eyes grew dazed, as if they were enjoying a mesmerizing light show.
"Heh heh, the drug is kicking in!" Lin Yuan secretly rejoiced, like a student who had peeked at the answers. "Anything from Old Wang is bound to be top-notch!"
Taking advantage of the robots' stupor, he slipped out from behind the pipes like a nimble mouse, swiftly navigating through the corridor and disappearing into the entrance of the ventilation duct. The duct was narrow and dark, resembling a bottomless pit that made him feel somewhat claustrophobic. "I hope there aren't any rats or cockroaches in here; otherwise, I might just lose it."
As he ventured deeper into the laboratory, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up like a groundhog that had discovered treasure. The Core Laboratory was even larger than he had imagined, filled with all sorts of bizarre instruments and devices flashing colorful lights, resembling a scene from a sci-fi movie.
In the Core Laboratory stood the Ling Domain Simulator in the center, towering like a massive pyramid, radiating dazzling light and emitting powerful energy waves akin to a bomb about to explode.
"Finally found you!" Lin Yuan felt elated, like a gambler who had just hit the jackpot. "Now I can wrap this up and head home for some sleep."
He cautiously approached the simulator like a cheetah stalking its prey, ready to begin dismantling its core components.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing alarm blared, shattering the silence of the laboratory like a sharp knife piercing through the tranquility of night. The alarm was shrill and jarring, threatening to rupture his eardrums.
"What’s going on?" Lin Yuan's heart raced in shock, akin to a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Have I been discovered?"
A cold voice echoed through the laboratory's intercom, piercing his eardrums like a sharp blade: "Intruder detected, initiating emergency defense protocols!" The voice was devoid of emotion, robotic in nature, sending chills down his spine.
"Oh no, I've been exposed!" Lin Yuan thought to himself, feeling like a wild rabbit caught in the sights of a hunter.
On the walls of the laboratory, a hidden surveillance device lit up, revealing Lin Yuan's figure on the screen like a mirror that unveiled his disguise.
A swarm of Hound-5 robots surged in from all directions, surrounding Lin Yuan like a pack of bloodthirsty sharks.
"This is bad!" Lin Yuan lamented internally, feeling like a mouse trapped in a snare.
He took a deep breath, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes, resembling a warrior ready to charge into battle.
"Come on, let the storm rage even fiercer!" he roared, like an enraged lion, raising his fists and charging towards the robotic army.
An intense battle was about to erupt…
