Chapter 1693: Chapter 1692: You Really Are a Good Person
It was as if she knew what he was thinking. Axiang continued to explain, as though to fill the void of silence all these years, and spoke to herself:
"Actually, this used to be Ansheng Group’s experimental area, built to create a closed ecosystem where people could survive. Do you know their purpose? Their purpose was to destroy the world. But if the world were destroyed, they too would perish, so they prepared in advance, planning to live in such a closed laboratory afterward. But not long after this lab was built, something went wrong, and it became useless here. However, this place was almost mature, so I managed to survive here until now."
Mou Xiao couldn’t help but think that if he hadn’t stumbled in here by accident, she might have stayed here alone for the rest of her life.
The thought of her living in isolation here made his chest feel uncomfortable.
Mou Xiao didn’t say anything. He took the test tube from her hand and drank down its contents in one gulp.
He didn’t even consider whether she might have given him poison.
"Does it taste bad?" the woman asked him.
"It’s alright. Do you usually eat this?"
"No, I eat it occasionally. It’s a nutrient that can replenish the elements I’m lacking in my body." The woman then apologized, "I should have made something else for you to eat."
"No need, this is just fine." Mou Xiao quickly replied.
"You are truly a good person." The woman smiled slightly.
Mou Xiao: "..."
It was the first time someone had called him a good person. It’s not her fault; after all, she couldn’t see clearly.
"Can I have a look around here?" Mou Xiao asked, changing the subject.
"Sure, but don’t touch anything; many things are dangerous."
"Alright." After agreeing, Mou Xiao began to look around, also checking if he could find an exit.
This underground lab indeed had many strange things, like numerous experiment cabins, though Mou Xiao had no idea what was inside them.
He didn’t touch anything recklessly, even though he was confident, he wasn’t stupid.
He wouldn’t randomly touch things he wasn’t familiar with, especially these dangerous experimental devices.
Meanwhile, Hao Yansen and the others were still trying to find him.
They needed tools to dig underground, so they couldn’t continue. Xing Yan and others stayed to keep searching for a mechanism, while Hao Yansen took people off the island to find a solution.
In a blink, two days had passed.
Hao Yansen and the team returned, bringing many tools, but Xing Yan and the others still hadn’t found the mechanism.
Xing Yan hadn’t rested for the past two days.
Mou Xiao was missing, and he was more anxious than anyone. If he couldn’t find his big brother, he would be at a loss even in death.
And they couldn’t afford to lose this leader figure.
"Through precise calculation, we estimate the underground rock is several meters deep. If we want to open it up without damaging the underground tunnel, it might take two days and nights," Hao Yansen explained to them.
Xing Yan’s eyes were bloodshot. "Big brother has been missing for two days. I’m afraid he can’t hold on for another two days!"
Hao Yansen analyzed further, "Since he fell, it means there’s a void below. Maybe there are other passageways. With Mou Xiao’s skills, I believe he won’t get into trouble easily."
"I hope so!"
"Let’s start the operation then." Hao Yansen immediately organized people to begin digging the tunnel.
Meanwhile, Mou Xiao below had searched the underground lab back and forth many times but still hadn’t found the exit mechanism.
