Chapter 231 - 204: Entering the Research Institute Again
Chapter 231: Chapter 204: Entering the Research Institute Again
"This is the place." Ye Yun made up his mind. He knew this operation wouldn’t be easy, but for the long-term development of the shelter, it was a risk worth taking.
He immediately began to organize a team, selecting a group of elite members. This included Lin Hao and Neil, who had extensive combat experience, and Jack, who had a deep understanding of technological equipment.
In addition, Leo and Zhou Mei would also go to provide necessary support and protection.
"Our destination is Monsanto Biotechnology Research Institute - Branch 213. The energy blocks we need might be hidden there."
Ye Yun explained the mission’s objective and importance to the team. "But please be aware, this operation carries a high degree of risk. We must be fully prepared."
The team members nodded in understanding. They moved quickly, checking their equipment and preparing the necessary supplies and tools.
"Lin Hao, Neil, you two are responsible for advance reconnaissance and security."
Ye Yun said to the two experienced Warriors, "If you encounter any danger, give a warning immediately."
"Jack, you’re in charge of technical support. If we find energy blocks or related equipment, we’ll need your expertise." Ye Yun turned to Jack, knowing that his technical skills would be crucial to this mission.
"Leo, Zhou Mei, you’re responsible for the rear guard and extraction. Make sure our team can react quickly and retreat in time." Ye Yun continued to assign tasks.
"Understood," the team members replied in unison, their eyes showing firmness and determination.
Ye Yun nodded. He knew this squad was the shelter’s elite, and they had the ability to face the challenges ahead.
With all preparations complete, the team set off on their journey to Monsanto Biotechnology Research Institute - Branch 213.
They traveled through the desolate wasteland, avoiding wandering mutated creatures, and finally arrived at their destination.
The ruins of Monsanto Biotechnology Research Institute - Branch 213 looked particularly sinister under the night sky. Broken steel bars and crumbling walls cast long shadows in the moonlight, seeming to hide countless unknown dangers.
The team led by Bena stopped outside the ruins. They cautiously observed their surroundings, making sure there were no lurking threats.
"Lin Hao, Neil, you scout ahead and confirm the entrance is safe," Bena ordered in a low voice.
"Understood." Lin Hao and Neil replied softly. They silently approached the ruins and disappeared into the darkness.
A moment later, Lin Hao’s voice came through the communicator:
"Entrance is secure. Nothing unusual detected."
Bena nodded and led the others quickly into the ruins.
They passed through a shattered corridor and arrived at the entrance to a huge basement.
It hadn’t been long since their last exploration of this research institute, so not much had changed inside.
This time, the group’s objective was very clear, and there were more of them than last time.
Bena had already devised a plan of action for this operation on the way here.
He unfolded the simple map in his hands.
This map was made by Lin Hao; after all, he was the only one on the team who could still roughly read the writing from before the Change.
He had copied it from a wall and created a new map, marking the corresponding locations with modern script.
"Zhou Mei, you take three people to the laboratory. Be thorough."
"Lin Hao, you take three people to the power supply room."
"Neil, Jack, you’re with me."
Bena began assigning tasks. "We’re going to the main control room to see if we can find any useful information."
The team members moved out quickly according to their instructions.
They knew time was of the essence and they had to complete the mission as quickly as possible.
Bena led Neil and Jack through the ruins and arrived at the door to the main control room.
The door was severely warped, but you could still see how sturdy it had once been.
Bena shoved the door open, revealing a passageway leading to the main control room.
Inside the main control room, various pieces of equipment and instruments were scattered everywhere, creating a scene of total chaos.
But amidst the chaos, Bena and his group still managed to find some useful clues.
"Look, there are some markings for energy blocks here," Neil said, pointing to a diagram on the wall.
Bena and Jack quickly walked over to examine the information on the diagram.
"According to this diagram, the energy blocks should be stored in the warehouse on the second basement level," Bena said in a low voice.
"Then let’s go, quickly," Jack said eagerly.
Bena nodded and led Neil and Jack toward the warehouse on the second basement level.
Meanwhile, Zhou Mei and Lin Hao were also searching in their respective areas.
Zhou Mei’s team found some abandoned experimental equipment and instruments in the laboratory, but they didn’t find any trace of the energy blocks.
"Everyone, search again, more carefully. Don’t miss any possible clues," Zhou Mei said in a low voice.
The team members all nodded and continued to search the laboratory.
And in the power supply room, Lin Hao’s team found the wreckage of some power equipment, but they also failed to find any energy blocks.
"Captain, it looks like this area suffered severe damage. A lot of the equipment is destroyed," a team member reported to Lin Hao.
Lin Hao frowned. "Let’s search a bit more. If we still don’t find anything, we’ll head to the warehouse on the second basement level and rendezvous with Captain Bena’s group."
Just then, Bena’s team had already arrived at the door to the warehouse on the second basement level.
The door was shut tight, covered in dust and cobwebs. Bena pushed it open, revealing a passage leading to the warehouse.
The warehouse was dim and damp, and the air was filled with a musty smell.
But even in the dim environment, they still found some traces of the energy blocks.
