<h4>Chapter 990: Chapter 997: Secret Laboratory</h4>


    Arriving at the control center of the base, Ling Chen looked at the busy Tang Guolun and asked, "Boss Tang, what significant discoverypelled me to make a trip to the base?"


    Tang Guolun nced at Hu Fei beside him, the two exchanged a smile, and couldn’t help but say triumphantly, "Ling Chen, we’ve made a big discovery this time. Come, let me show you."


    Following Tang Guolun and Hu Fei, the three of them walked straight to the second floor of the base. Walking in the spacious corridor, Ling Chen asked, "Whye all the way here?" The second floor of the base is mainly residential areas and a canteen, as well as some recreational facilities, with only one equipment room being more important.


    "You’ll know soon." As he spoke, Tang Guolun arrived in front of the equipment room and entered the password.


    With the opening of the equipment room’s st door, Ling Chen and the others stepped inside. Once the door was closed, Tang Guolun and Hu Fei gestured for Ling Chen to follow them.


    In no time, the three arrived at the east wall of the equipment room. Looking at several pieces of equipment hanging on the wall, Ling Chen asked puzzled, "Are these things special?"


    Hu Fei smiled mysteriously and said, "Not this, but this." Saying that, Hu Fei reached out and grasped the protrudingmpshade on the wall and gently turned it. Immediately, thempshade moved aside, revealing an electronic password lock behind it. Besides the password lock, there was also a retinal scanner.


    "This is..." Ling Chen was shocked, not expecting there to be a hidden door here.


    "To crack thisyer of password, I spent quite some time." Hu Fei said while entering the password. After scanning his retina, there was a ’click’ sound, and the entire wall slowly moved aside, revealing a passage more than two meters wide. Simultaneously, the lights in the passage all lit up automatically.


    "Let’s go." Tang Guolun called, leading Ling Chen straight into the passage.


    Soon after, the three passed through the passage and arrived at a decontamination room. Afterpleting the disinfection procedure, the back door slowly opened.


    Passing through the door, Ling Chen’s view opened up. At this moment, he was in a massive undergroundboratory. Theboratory housed a variety of instruments and advanced equipment, some of which Ling Chen had never seen before. Besides equipment, theb also stored many vessels, each soaking different limbs, both human and animal, which looked particrly eerie.


    In the corner of theboratory, dozens ofrge crates were piled up. Judging by the markings on the crates, they should contain reagents. It was probably due to a rush that the crates were not organized properly, piled up messily.


    "There’s ab here too. Wow!" Ling Chen eximed, "Those guys from the God Organization have hidden well. Hey, Fatty, how did you discover this ce?"


    Hu Fei said proudly, "Yesterday, when I was checking the equipment in the equipment room with Boss Tang, I identally found the password lock hidden in thempshade. After I cracked the password, I found out there was ab hidden here." After a pause, Hu Fei shifted the conversation, "Ling Chen, do you know what’s the most crucial thing about thisb?"


    "What is it?"


    Hu Fei pointed to a machine in the center of theb and said, "That’s our biggest find this time."


    "Really?" Ling Chen walked forward, half-believing, and examined the machine in front of him. In the center of the machine was an iron bed equipped with many wires and IV tubes. On both sides of the iron bed wereputers connected to the mainframe below.


    Looking at the dense wires around, Ling Chen asked curiously, "What does this machine do?"


    "Its function is substantial," Hu Fei said with a smile, "Do you remember when Jiang Yunkai, Bai Huanjun, and Xia Mutong were captured? The God Organization conducted experiments on them. Later, we found out that a microchip was imnted in Xia Mutong’s brain. The microchip transmitted signals, which were converted intomands directly to Xia Mutong’s brain. As a result, Xia Mutongpletely lost autonomy and could only act ording to the transmittedmands."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen pointed at the machine before him and said, "You mean... this machine imnted the microchip into Xia Mutong’s brain?"


    "No, no." Hu Fei waved his hand, "You misunderstood my point. This machine is not the one used before. How to say, the previous machine used for experimenting on Xia Mutong was just a prototype, with some ws, but this machine is different. It’s an improved version, much better than the previous one, and with a lower failure rate."


    "Fatty, you’re not from the God Organization, how do you know so much?"


    "All the information is stored in theputer of this machine, I’ve read it all." Hu Fei said, tapping Ling Chen’s shoulder, "Hey, are you interested in conducting an experiment?"


    "Experiment?" Ling Chen asked, "How do we do it? We don’t even have a test subject right now. Besides, imnting a microchip into the brain isn’t something just anyone can do. The brain is the mostplex part of the human body, and any slight mistake could lead to the experimenter’s death. Unless we find a professional neurosurgeon to help, it’s best not to do it, lest we harm someone."


    "True." Hu Fei scratched his head, "How about this, I’ll find a few neurosurgeons first. We’ll try to see if we can master the research of the God Organization."


    "Fatty, what are you nning? This is no joke. Are you thinking of using this thing against the God Organization?"


    "Of course! Think about it, if we use this thing to control Lin Guodong, wouldn’t the God Organization be at our mercy?"


    "The idea is nice, but I don’t think this n is very reliable." Ling Chen criticized unreservedly.


    "You haven’t even tried, how do you know it’s not reliable?" Hu Fei argued, dissatisfied.


    "Alright, alright," Tang Guolun chimed in, "Anyway, the item is in our hands, no harm in trying. Besides, it’s using the God Organization people as test subjects, even if we fail, there’s no real loss."


    "Fine, do what you see fit, just don’t go overboard." Ling Chen thought for a moment and agreed to Hu Fei’s request. If the experiment really proves effective, it could indeed be a good tactic.


    Back at the control center of the base, Ling Chen looked at Tang Guolun and asked, "Boss Tang, where’s the porridge girl? I didn’t see her around."


    "She went out early today, said she had important business to attend to, and won’t be back for a few days. Do you have any business with her?"


    "Nothing much, just asking." Ling Chen rubbed his nose. The porridge girl, as always, liked to leave quietly without saying anything to him.
