334: Chapter 331 Operation Begins

Having just hung up the communication with the security department, another call request soon came through Latuoqi's earpiece.

"Latuoqi, I see in the office that Li has already entered."

"Yes, Team Leader Michael."

"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Latuoqi, remember that no matter what kind of commotion happens inside, you must not open it to investigate."

"Will that not cause any problems?"

"Of course not. There are already five combat teams inside, and this is a research lab. Here, even a Dragon would have to obediently become a specimen. Alright, remember that no matter who comes, you cannot open the door, and no matter whose order it is, it won't work. I have already cleared this with the Big Boss. During the experiment, no one can leave. Everything will be resolved inside the research lab, and food will enter through a special channel, so you don't need to worry."

"Alright, Team Leader Michael, I understand."

Hanging up the communication, Latuoqi shook his head with a light chuckle.

It seems that, let alone seeing a complete specimen, it's hard to say whether one will even be able to see Li Changsheng's severed limbs later.

"Given the research style of those people..."

Thinking of the paranoid working style of those top researchers, almost no test subject had ever left their hands intact.

"You must be Mr. Li, please come with me. We need to perform some disinfection treatment on you."

Just after entering the research lab, bang! The door behind him slammed shut automatically, and the metal wheel, resembling a ship's helm, began to turn on its own. Click-clack, a series of mechanical sounds indicated that the door had been locked tight.

"Shouldn't the disinfection area be located at the entrance?"

Watching the other person lead the way straight ahead, Li Changsheng said, acting as if it were casual.

"Li, I cannot give you too much of an answer regarding this; it might be an issue with the design of the research lab."

Hearing these words, Li Changsheng became secretly vigilant, and the needle-pricking sensation on his back became even more pronounced.

The further in he went, the greater the danger.

"The so-called disinfection seems to have a major problem. I must find Dr. Zhang as soon as possible."

Li Changsheng decided that before entering the so-called disinfection room, regardless of whether he found the target person or not, he had to make a move; otherwise, there might really be no chance left.

Although he had stepped into the realm of Huajin, there were not only directly lethal items in this world. Sometimes, seemingly weightless gas could easily knock out a burly man weighing hundreds of pounds.

Those Jianghu figures in ancient times suffered no small amount from this. Although Water Margin is not reality, the allusion to the clever theft of the birthday gift in it is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Time passed bit by bit, and as they got closer to the so-called disinfection room, Li Changsheng looked completely normal, without the slightest anxiety.

At his level, his mentality was often one of not being swayed by external objects or personal gains or losses.

Even if the situation were critical, he could maintain sufficient rationality.

"Li..."

The researcher responsible for leading the way had just opened his mouth when he noticed that the test subject, Li Changsheng, had stopped and was looking into the floor-to-ceiling tempered glass on one side.

Looking through the glass, one could see a small team engaged in normal academic exchange; such small teams were very common in the ep project lab.

The entire ep project group had a total of three hundred people, including over two hundred top-tier researchers and about one hundred armed personnel.

To facilitate management, Team Leader Michael had divided them into many small teams, which was also used to stimulate team competitiveness and disperse thinking, and finally to conduct collective brainstorming. This was the key to the project being able to continuously overcome many difficulties.

"Mr. Li, you..."

Suspicious in his heart, the researcher wanted to say something else, but the expression on his face froze. The next moment, his throat felt a sharp pain, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't make a sound. He clutched his collapsed neck and fell to the ground.

Bang~~

Li Changsheng calmly withdrew his palm strike. Being struck by this, even a steel plate would be punctured, let alone soft throat bones.

From the strike to the withdrawal, it took less than a second. Visually, it seemed as if there was just a momentary blur between the two, and the researcher fell down as if struck by electricity.

With his palm strike half-withdrawn, he quickly assumed a posture of stepping forward to assist, and shouted anxiously at the camera above the hallway.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Looking at the cry for help in the screen, which had already faded significantly, several armed personnel waiting by the surveillance screens frowned.

Their surveillance here was independent, only responsible for the entire ep project research lab, and not connected to external surveillance. Such a separate line was safer and could prevent the leakage of important secrets during network intrusions.

And the data stored by this surveillance would only be sent to the research institute's database for backup every month thereafter.

"It seems Researcher 124 has a sudden illness. Have someone check it out, and by the way, rearrange for someone else to continue the process."

Through the report from the armed personnel, Old Michael, who had already learned the truth, quickly said on the other end of the call.

Old Michael was also in this large laboratory; he was equivalent to the person in charge here, and many matters needed to be reported to him.

"It seems it's just a minor incident. These researchers are really fragile."

Hanging up the communication, the two surveillance room personnel shrugged. They were all burly and strong, and could not understand why these guys were so fragile.

However, they had seen many cases of researchers suddenly going into shock or dying suddenly, so they were accustomed to this.

Even because someone's strike was too fast and the performance was too natural, they were even too lazy to carefully check the surveillance footage.

"Mr. Li, please hand him over to us; the medical team will cure him."

A researcher stepped forward with a smile, while signaling to the two staff members behind him carrying a stretcher.

"Li, please hand the person over to the doctors; let's continue with the rest of the process."

"Of course, but his situation seems very wrong. I think he needs cardiac resuscitation."

Li Changsheng shook his head helplessly, then lowered his head to support Researcher 124 and walked towards the stretcher.

Everything was so normal, but the moment the person was flipped by Li Changsheng and landed heavily on the stretcher, two swift and abrupt sounds of breaking through the air rang out.

The next instant, Li Changsheng spread his arms, opening and closing, striking and withdrawing.

Bang, bang~~

"They... what happened to them?"

Li Changsheng looked astonished and at a loss.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the researcher preparing to lead the way turned his head suspiciously, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat.

Bang~

The three of them had no power to resist, it was extremely easy; just like the person before, they were all killed in one blow.

Having killed three people in a row, Li Changsheng didn't pretend anymore; he showed his hand.

He looked up and bowed slightly to the camera, like a performer tipping his hat in a salute.

In an instant, the two who saw the scene on the screen could not help but look at each other, and in each other's eyes, they both saw shock and confusion.
