Life Dungeon Game

He did not stop cultivating after breaking through in the morning.

Although martial arts training is tedious, the operation of activating energy is actually not complicated. Once you develop the habit, you can multitask, only needing to focus a little on activating energy for training, while keeping your main focus on other things.

Just like walking, one can also think while walking.

Of course, the effect of this kind of practice is certainly not as good as the effect of wholeheartedly drawing energy, but it is enough for He Ao.

Reggie's body has been honed to its limits; with every breath he takes, his physical abilities increase.

At this moment, his limbs were once again filled with energy and could no longer be improved. He Ao guessed that the next direction of cultivation should be to use energy to nourish his internal organs.

This requires a fresh exploration, and he doesn't have the energy or time for that right now.

He closed the attribute panel, left the observation point at the entrance of the research institute, then found a hardware store nearby, bought an alloy folding ladder, and carried it on his shoulder.

He then carried the ladder in one hand and leaned on his cane in the other, and walked to the gate of the research institute.

"What do you do?"

The security guard at the gate looked puzzled. He sized He Ao up and down, then stared at the ladder He Ao was carrying, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.

"Find someone."

He replied calmly.

"At such an old age, why are you still doing manual labor?"

The security guard wasn't very old, and there was a hint of roguishness between his brows.

Who are the people in front of you?

"He's gone far," he muttered, tapping the table in front of him. A large monitor flipped up. "Let me register."

He calmly hung his cane on his belt, then calmly typed the information 'Regit' into the monitor; he didn't hide anything.

Why didn't you fill in the name of your construction company?

The security guard looked at the information with some confusion.

"do not know."

He Ao shook his head naturally.

"You old codger, not only are you old, but you also have a bad memory," the security guard cursed as he filled in the name of a construction company in the company column, then flipped back to the screen. "Come on, come on, if you don't go now you'll miss it. At your age, you shouldn't be out working."

"Thank you."

He Ao nodded.

Then, carrying a folding ladder and leaning on his cane, he walked openly into the research institute.

The institute appears to be under strict management, but in reality, it is quite lax.

This is a common problem with gang-related businesses. Gangs are inherently disorganized and lack structure. Even if they are established as organizations, they are only roughly structured, and the internal atmosphere remains disorganized.

Najah's use of gang members to protect and manage the research institute inevitably leads to this problem.

After entering the research institute, He Ao casually leaned the ladder against the wall, walked step by step towards the elevator with his cane, and then pressed the button for the floor marked as the underground parking lot.

Stepping out of the elevator, he quickly found the car Najah was in.

The people in the car had left, leaving only the locked car.

Without hesitation, He Ao detonated his super memory, and all the details of the underground parking lot were instantly reflected in his mind.

Najah had only been gone a short time, and the traces he left behind were still fresh.

He Ao deactivated his super memory and followed the trail he had just been searching for, eventually stopping in front of an elevator.

This elevator is a special type that requires biometric verification or a specific chip to open, and the elevator doors also appear to be made of some kind of special alloy, making them extremely sturdy.

He Ao glanced at the elevator's biometric verification interface, then pulled out the sword from his cane and stabbed it into the elevator door crack.

Then he placed one hand on the sword hilt, his feet slightly apart, and his muscles bulged.

The sword bent slightly, and the sturdy elevator door trembled.

Bright sparks flashed at the gate, like lights illuminating the silent night.

The elevator doors, which were tightly closed, slowly cracked open, and then the crack grew larger and larger until they were completely separated.

boom--

A muffled thud was heard, which sounded like some kind of bearing breaking.

The elevator doors lost their support in an instant and sprang open to both sides.

He Ao sheathed his sword back into his cane, his gaze passing through the open elevator doors to the deep elevator shaft inside.

The path leading up is to the research institute above. Looking up from below, you can see a suspended elevator across the horizon. At this moment, the elevator is stopped at about the first floor, as if it has just sent someone up.

He looked down, and below seemed to be a deeper parking lot.

The parking lot he is currently in is on the second basement level. Underground parking lots in Dawn City are usually only built on two levels, because building a third level would potentially affect the city's entire drainage system.

sewer.

He thought for a moment, then jumped into the elevator shaft and began climbing down.

Soon, he reached the bottom of the elevator shaft.

The bottom of the elevator shaft is slightly lower than the elevator door on the last floor, but not by much. It's very close to the drainage system, so it's probably impossible to dig any further down here.

He Ao stood at the bottom, barely able to reach the elevator door. It took him some effort to pry open the door, and when he finally opened the door to the bottom floor, he was greeted by a spacious, small underground parking lot with not many vehicles.

He Ao walked in, his gaze sweeping over the thick layer of dust on the vehicles, before stepping to the edge of the parking lot.

He gently tapped on the wall at the edge of the parking lot.

A hollow echo came from behind the wall.

I've been staying up until 2 or 3 AM every day for the past two days because of some things, and I'm too tired to stay up any longer. The next chapter will be tomorrow morning. Everyone, please get some rest. Please add this to your favorites, follow the story, vote for this book, and recommend it.

Chapter 85 The Cage (Please add to your favorites, read on, and vote with monthly tickets)

Dark, filthy liquid flowed silently through a huge, hollow underground pipe, and above this liquid, an alloy cage several meters long was suspended in the air by countless steel cables.

Where these steel cables connect, the top of the originally sturdy pipes has been transformed into a huge transparent dome. Countless precision instruments are placed along the edge of the dome, and dozens of researchers dressed in pure white lab coats are constantly fiddling with these precision instruments.

“We are now injecting this ‘lizard’ with a large dose of sedatives through the ‘cage’s’ robotic arm. The dose of sedatives is enough for the ‘lizard’ to sleep for a whole day. Then these steel cables will lower the ‘cage’ into the sewer pipes. The ‘cage’s’ own mobility system will travel along the sewer route to deliver the ‘lizard’ to our new research institute.”

The researcher, dressed in a pure white lab coat, introduced the situation to Najja beside him.

Naja's gaze pierced through the transparent dome, landing on the enormous cage and inside it, on a massive lizard, its body a mix of red and black, and several meters long. The lizard lay quietly in the cage, dozens of mechanical arms with tiny needles at their tips inserted into its body, continuously injecting sedatives.

"how long will it take?"

Naja asked slowly.

"The 'cage' has just been lowered. To ensure safety and not to wake the 'lizard,' it will take about two hours before it is lowered into the sewer."

The researchers replied.

“As soon as possible,” Naja turned around and looked at the thin driver behind him. “Aaron, you stay here and watch over things.”

"Yes."

Aaron nodded slightly.

After saying that, Naja walked toward the elevator.

There is a secret elevator in the underground laboratory that leads to the ground office, and this is the only passage to enter the underground laboratory.

The elevator in the second basement level parking lot does not go directly to this underground laboratory; it only goes to the third basement level parking lot.

The reason for designing that elevator was that the approval plan submitted to the municipal government for the construction of the underground laboratory was ostensibly for the construction of a three-story underground parking garage.

According to the construction requirements of the Chenxi Municipal Government, the underground parking lot must have an elevator that provides direct access and a vehicle entry passage.

Naja did not want anyone to enter the third underground level. Even though it was just a disguised parking lot, the vehicle access passage had been closed, and the direct elevator was set to be accessible only to authorized personnel.

The gaunt driver, Aaron, watched Naja enter the elevator, then shifted his gaze to the enormous, transparent dome.

Naja's departure was not because he was indifferent to the situation here, but because he was going to the office of the ground research institute to destroy the relevant data.

What their 'old friend' did today put immense pressure on the mayor. With the election just around the corner, the mayor wouldn't tolerate any mishaps in what was originally a sure-win situation.

Therefore, regardless of whether the research institute is exposed, the 'lizard' must be moved.

Aaron's gaze lingered through the transparent dome on the enormous 'cage' beneath it.

Just then, he heard a series of loud bangs behind him.

That was the sound of something heavy hitting the wall.

He slowly turned his head to look behind him, and not far behind him, a crack suddenly appeared in the previously tidy wall.

.

The crack then rapidly widened, and a small piece of shattered brick fell from the center of the crack. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding cement and bricks also shattered and scattered in all directions.

As the smoke cleared, a silver-haired old man holding a huge iron ingot appeared in Aaron's sight.

After the wall was broken through, the old man casually tossed the iron ingot aside, then picked up his cane leaning against the wall, pushed aside the exposed steel bars that had been inside the wall, and calmly entered the magnificent laboratory.

"Long time no see."

The old man, leaning on his wooden cane, smiled as he looked at Aaron, whose eyes were filled with disbelief.

Naja burned all the paper documents, physically destroyed the computer's storage, and then slowly walked out of his office.

Staff and researchers outside the office were still busy.

The research institute on the ground was indeed an ordinary medical research institute.

Over the years, some effective medical drugs have also been developed.

Naja walked around each floor of the research institute to make sure no outsiders had sneaked in.

The journey was the same as always, until he reached the first floor and passed a folding ladder that was casually leaned against the wall.
