Chapter 1690: Chapter 1689: That Was a Woman
What exactly is suspicious or strange about this place...
At this moment, Mou Xiao found himself inside another underground space. But unlike the network of roads above, there was only one long passage here.
Mou Xiao looked around, unable to find any mechanism to open the ceiling above, and gave up, then walked forward along the passage.
This passage was very dark at first, but after walking for some distance, a faint light began to appear.
Moreover, this was a downward-sloping passage. Mou Xiao didn’t know how long he walked, but when he saw the light, he became alert.
However, his intuition for danger was sharp; he didn’t sense any danger, so he continued downward without making any noise.
Even his breathing seemed inaudible...
The light ahead grew larger and larger, and finally, Mou Xiao felt a sense of sudden clarity!
Before him appeared a large basement.
It could be described as an underground laboratory, circular, and very large, bigger than several football fields. The entire basement was supported by hundreds of thick stone pillars, and there were many experimental devices inside, even electricity.
If he didn’t know that this island had been abandoned for decades, Mou Xiao would have thought it was a special underground laboratory. But the fact that the lab was still running indicated there were people here, and it was not simple.
Mou Xiao stood in a dark area, his sharp gaze scanning everything below, and soon he saw a person.
It was a woman...
Her hair was long, black, and straight, casually draped behind her.
She wore a long white dress, and her skin was so pale that it was noticeable even from a distance.
The woman’s steps were very slow.
She walked over to a workbench and manipulated something, her movements slow but unhurried.
Mou Xiao watched her for a long time, feeling she seemed familiar, yet couldn’t recall anything.
After confirming that there was probably only this one woman here, Mou Xiao descended the stairs, silently approaching her.
His footsteps were so light that even if he approached the woman, she wouldn’t notice.
But Mou Xiao didn’t anticipate that as he approached, the woman suddenly turned her head, her pitch-black eyes looking at him, "Who?"
Mou Xiao was slightly surprised.
The woman’s gaze seemed somewhat scattered, yet she caught sight of him, "Who are you?!" she asked low and hesitantly.
Her voice was raspy, even peculiar.
As if she hadn’t spoken in a long time and didn’t know how to begin speaking.
Mou Xiao stared at her without answering, and the woman remained calm, after a while quietly asking him, "How did you get in here?"
"..."
"No one has been able to come here for a long time. Who exactly are you?"
"Who are you?" Mou Xiao finally opened his mouth, his voice deep.
Hearing the sound of a human voice, the woman was stunned, taking some time before responding, "Who I am doesn’t matter, who are you, how did you get in?"
"Who I am also doesn’t matter, who exactly are you?" Mou Xiao retorted, "Why are you here, what is this place?"
"You can come here not knowing what this place is?" The woman paused slightly before responding, "This is Ansheng Group’s underground lab, I used to be in charge here."
"But this island has been abandoned for twenty years, Ansheng Group has already deserted it, why are you still here?"
