I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 178 Abandoned Laboratory

Half asleep and half awake, Qi Yan felt his cheeks itchy. He buried his face in the quilt and rubbed it, not wanting to wake up.

At this moment, a pleasant chuckle came to my ears.

Qi Yan was fully awake. He rubbed his eyes and raised his head.

Sure enough, he saw Huo Linyuan looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had been awake for a long time.

"What time is it now?" Qi Yan asked.

Huo Linyuan helped him tidy up his messy hair: "Three o'clock in the morning."

"We slept for so long?" Qi Yan didn't expect that they had slept from the afternoon until now.

But what is undeniable is that I had a very comfortable sleep, as if I had made up for all the sleep I had missed in the past few days.

Huo Linyuan hummed, then lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth: "Are you hungry?"

Qi blushed and nodded: "Hungry."

However, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did he feel that after coming back this time, A Yuan always looked at him with a sticky look in his eyes?

But when he looked closely, he felt that it was no different from usual. It was really strange. Was it his illusion?

How could he know that it was just that he was missing her so much that he could no longer endure it.

Huo Linyuan helped him change his clothes and then changed the medicine on his wound.

After the two of them had finished cleaning up, Zoe pushed the door open and walked in with food.

This was the first time the two met after Qi Yan hatched.

Qi Yan was the first to speak, and asked in surprise: "Zoe! You're back?"

Zoe smiled gently: "Well, I'm glad to finally meet you, Yanyan."

He had already known about Qi Yan's transformation from Wen Yi.

Qi Yan also laughed: "Welcome back, did the mission go smoothly?"

At this time, Huo Linyuan rubbed his head and interrupted the two people's greetings: "Eat first."

-

In the temporary office, Zoe began to report on the progress of the evacuation arrangements.

"At present, all students have been properly arranged. Those with minor injuries are basically recovered, and those with serious injuries have been stabilized after treatment and can participate in the voyage."

"All warships are in place and can be evacuated at any time."

"It will probably take some time to cleanse the miasma on the entire planet. I have divided the rescue team into ten teams, and we expect the cleanup to be completed within a month."

Huo Linyuan nodded slightly: "Notify them and start preparing for evacuation after daybreak."

Just after I finished making the arrangements, Hill sent me a video message.

On the light screen, he was in a room that looked like a laboratory.

Looking at the familiar sign on the wall, Zoe's eyes turned cold: "Experimental base?"

Hill nodded: "It looks like it has been abandoned."

When Hill finally found this place, it was already empty.

As he spoke, he switched the communication perspective to holographic images, and as he walked, the entire picture of the laboratory began to appear before them.

Judging from the images, this laboratory is very large, and broken experimental equipment can be seen in every room. It has obviously been abandoned for a long time.

But every year, students from the combat department come to Sirius for actual combat exercises. Why has such a large laboratory never been discovered?

Moreover, this place belongs to the interstellar power center - the Star Territory, which means that the enemy has been operating under their noses.

This conclusion made Zoey's face suddenly become colder.

The place where Hill discovered the experimental base was located in a canyon crack. It has always been shown as a red danger zone on the map, so actual combat drills generally avoid this area.

In addition, according to Hill's investigation, there seemed to be a barrier around the experimental base that could avoid detection.

This device was different from any shielding barrier they had seen before and was more like a natural product.

But Hill couldn't understand why the other party, who had worked so hard to build a base here and had been hiding for many years, would suddenly give up?

Why did they leave these monsters behind after the evacuation?

It felt like the other party was deliberately leading them to discover the experimental base. Was it a provocation? Or was there some other intention?

"Boss, what should we do next?" This feeling, similar to being led by someone, made Hill feel chilly.

"There are still many dangerous areas in Sirius. Send people to inspect these areas carefully." Huo Linyuan said.

Hill was stunned: "You mean?"

"To hide so many mutants, there won't be just one base," Huo Linyuan said.

Hill's whole body tensed up, then he nodded seriously: "Yes!"

After the communication ended, Huo Linyuan looked at Zoe again: "Have you counted the number of mutants?"

"I was just about to talk about this issue. Through scanning the planet, we have already calculated a rough data. After comparison, it is roughly consistent with the number of missing monsters reported by Helka before." Zoe replied.

It is now basically confirmed that the monsters that appear here are the ones that disappeared from Helka.

"But how did they pass the layers of inspection to transport so many monsters from Helka to Sirius?" Qi Yan looked up at Huo Linyuan and asked.

Huo Linyuan touched his hair: "Because of Dai Heming."

Although Dai Heming, as the chairman of the Military Commission, only holds a nominal position without real power, it is still easy for him to carry out secret inspections.

What's more, the other party has always been using the name of the royal family. When Huo Linyuan was just injured, the military was restricted in every way. In order to avoid exacerbation of conflicts, the soldiers often had to give in.

Huo Linyuan had just finished his explanation when Wen Yi brought another piece of news that all the alien beasts in the main galaxy had withdrawn.

On the light screen, Wen Yi was still wearing his combat uniform and looked like he had just come down from the battlefield.

This monster riot is obviously inextricably linked to the rebels.

But what Wen Yi couldn't understand was that they put in so much effort, even at the cost of exposing their long-planned plan, but in the end they did nothing and withdrew easily.

Although all the alien beasts within the star range have been wiped out, due to the obstruction of early communications, other planets in the main galaxy are still fighting hard.

According to Wen Yi's prior inference, it would take some time for everything to calm down.

Now these strange beasts retreated without any warning, which caught him off guard and was a little difficult to understand.

However, Huo Linyuan seemed to have anticipated this result.

"They have achieved their goal," he said.

Wen Yi didn't quite understand, and Qi Yan looked at him like a curious baby.

At this moment, the video call from Ling Qing was connected.

Ling Qing noticed at a glance the silver-haired boy who was sitting obediently next to Huo Linyuan.

Because there were only two chairs in the temporary office, one for Zoe, and Qi Yan naturally shared one with Huo Linyuan. Fortunately, the chairs were big and could accommodate both of them.

When Qi Yan was still a baby, Ling Qing had seen how doting Huo Linyuan was on him.

Now that she has become a human, this doting attitude has only increased. Looking at the look in his eyes, he simply wishes to put his label on Qi Yan.

Seeing Ling Qing looking at her with raised eyebrows, Qi Yan inexplicably felt as if she was being teased. She subconsciously sat up straight and distanced herself from Huo Linyuan.

"Brother Ling, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Yanyan has grown up!" There was a hint of sigh in Ling Qing's tone.
