Before each attack could reach Long Yuanxi, it was redirected to the level nine fire-type zombie fighting Fu Muyu, making the battle incredibly easy.
Long Yangyang had originally planned to help, but she immediately dismissed the idea.
With Yao Yao joining Long Yuanchen's group, the level eight zombies were quickly eliminated. After Long Yangyang finished collecting the crystal cores, Fu Muyu and Long Yuanxi also dug out the zombie crystal cores and handed them to Long Yangyang.
“Dad and the others went to the fourth basement level. I’m afraid the important experimental subjects and researchers at the research institute have already left,” Long Yuanxi said.
Fu Muyu nodded in agreement, "We haven't encountered any mutated beasts or plants above level eight. The researchers were either bitten by zombies and assimilated into zombies, or they committed suicide as soon as we found them."
It must have been An Xiong who gave the orders to the puppet worms in the researchers' minds.
Long Yangyang nodded. "We're going to the fourth basement level. It's full of strange experimental subjects. I'm worried that Dad and the others might be in danger."
The mutated spiders she encountered on the second floor that could turn invisible—if it weren't for her special ability, even if they were low-level, an ordinary level six or seven ability user would probably have died if they hadn't been careful.
"I remember there was an artificial mermaid here."
The fourth underground level is dangerous, so only Long Yangyang, Fu Muyu, Long Yuanxi, and Shi Qing went down. The others stayed on the third level, as many of them were injured and it was not worth the risk.
Long Yangyang left behind two mutated plants, Miaomiao and Yaoyao, to protect their safety.
"Mermaids?" Long Yuanxi looked up. "These people are really crazy."
Long Yangyang nodded affirmatively, "Yes, a perfectly healthy person was not only transplanted with gills, but also fitted with a fish tail, and his whole body was put in a water tank. If it weren't for his level seven water-based ability, he might have drowned long ago."
"Isn't it a bit too quiet here?" Long Yangyang looked around. Didn't her father and the others arrive first? Why couldn't she see them?
“We didn’t see any test subjects either,” Fu Muyu continued. “There are not only superhumans here, but also mutated animals and zombies.”
"Since the zombies on the third floor were left behind, it's impossible that all the zombie animals on the fourth floor were taken away." Fu Muyu frowned as he recalled those zombie animals with bizarre bodies.
"Is it possible that they were useless test subjects and were disposed of?" Long Yangyang asked. "Dad and the others are really something, daring to come to such a dangerous place."
"Kun Kun brought them, but it was just Uncle Long, Uncle Han, and Qian Bin. They came to see Marshal Qian," Fu Muyu explained the reason why Long Ye and the others came down.
Long Yangyang instantly recalled the first experimental subject they saw when they came to the research institute.
"That uncle who might turn into a high-level zombie?" Long Yangyang remembered that, worried that the other party might really turn into a zombie, she had given him a leaf from the Tree of Life.
Fu Muyu nodded. "When I came here last time, I saw Marshal Qian. He didn't turn into a zombie. Instead, his superpower level was upgraded, and he became a level nine superpower user."
"I suggested removing the puppet worm from the marshal's mind, but the marshal refused."
Fu Muyu remembered his conversation with Qian Sen: "Marshal, has a puppet worm been planted in your mind? I'll help you remove it."
"You actually discovered the research institute's methods of controlling people?!" Qian Sen was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. Fu Muyu was a talent he had trained, so it wasn't impossible for him to discover the puppet worms.
“Good lad, you’ve even found a way to get rid of the puppet worms, but we don’t need it for now.” Qian Sen rejected Fu Muyu’s suggestion. “Although the puppet worms are troublesome, I’ve discovered that extreme cold of minus fifty degrees Celsius can make them hibernate.”
“I have ice-type abilities, so this bug can’t control me for now. On the contrary, if you take out the bug, that scoundrel An Xiong will notice immediately.”
"That person is ruthless and extremely afraid of death. He planted puppet worms in everyone here."
A ruthless glint flashed in Qian Sen's eyes. "I don't know what kind of opportunity An Xiong got, that he actually managed to build such a research institute underground in Qingdu."
"But I'm sure this research institute isn't the only one."
Qian Sen grasped Fu Muyu's hand, "I was tricked by this scoundrel at the very beginning of the apocalypse and sent to the research institute, but I'm not blind. The research institute I was taken to at the beginning is definitely not the same one as this one."
When Fu Muyu heard that Qian Sen had been captured by An Xiong and used as an experimental subject at the very beginning of the apocalypse, he felt a surge of anger towards An Xiong. This person could not be allowed to live.
“You said this is the Qingdu base, but I have no recollection of how I got here. I suspect that An Xiong has some special way of transferring his research.”
“I’m keeping this puppet worm so that An Xiong won’t be on guard against me for the time being. It can be used as your inside man to find out everything An Xiong has done behind the scenes.”
After a brief exchange with Qian Sen, Fu Muyu was chased away by him, for fear that the research institute would find out.
"They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but that old codger An Xiong is even more afraid of death than a rabbit," Long Yangyang complained. He even has a backup research institute; it's really troublesome.
"It must have taken Tu Qingqiu at least a year to be reborn, otherwise how would this old man have had time to prepare all this?"
Fu Muyu grasped Long Yangyang's hand and said, "An Xiong has been working in politics for over forty years, rising from a lowly employee to become an important leader in Xia Kingdom. We don't know anything about the power, money, influence, and other things he has accumulated behind the scenes."
"Perhaps, many years ago, he was secretly supporting the underground research institute. Tu Qingqiu's appearance only accelerated his research and fueled his ambition."
Long Yuanxi and Long Yangyang quickly realized what Fu Muyu meant. An Xiong's research institute was clearly not something that had been built overnight.
Whether Tu Qingqiu appeared first or An Xiong's research came first, it did not hinder their determination to completely eliminate this research institute.
"Mu Yu, did Marshal Qian Sen leave you any message? Don't you have any secret codes for communication?" Long Yuanxi asked.
“Let’s go check out the room where Marshal Qian is being held. If the Marshal has really been moved away, he will definitely try to leave us a message,” Fu Muyu said.
"Moreover, I sensed that Kun Kun's location is not far from the Marshal's room." Fu Muyu said with a worried look in his eyes, "It's a bit strange. After we entered the fourth underground level, I contacted Kun Kun to bring Uncle Long and the others to meet us."
“Kun Kun has spatial abilities and is also your mutated beast. He can teleport here in an instant. He hasn’t come for so long. Could something have happened?” Long Yangyang didn’t think that Kun Kun would be playing around with them at this time.
