Chapter 1068: Oh my, ran into an ex on a survival show! 38

Su Nai and Zhong He followed Wims into the underground cave; shortly after descending, they clearly sensed the airflow growing increasingly stagnant.

This is really not a good phenomenon.

Su Nai hesitated a little, silently locking eyes with Zhong He and gesturing.

Zhong He looked up and shook his head.

Fine, Su Nai shrugged and continued downward.

At the bottom of the cave was actually a laboratory.

This was something Su Nai never expected.

But after Wims entered, the lab door swiftly shut; Su Nai crept closer to look and found there was nothing she could do.

"Iris verification is required."

She spread her hands, whispering, "I didn't bring any spy gear."

Before the show started, all equipment had been confiscated; nothing was allowed to be brought.

"Let me do it." Zhong He stepped forward half a pace and pulled out his ID from his backpack.

Under Su Nai's ghost‑stare, he used the ID to unlock the iris code.

Su Nai: "……?"

"You stashed the universal crystal here? Your organization trains nothing but foxes—how clever!"

Zhong He nodded, his gaze clear, "It won't be checked."

Fine, lesson learned.

Su Nai gave a dry laugh, drew her gun, and charged in.

Entering the lab, what met her eyes was Jiang Ting's corpse.

More precisely, it had been cut open, the entrails removed, the skull taken out—only a corpse of skin and marrow remained.

Su Nai wrinkled her face, covered her nose, afraid that even another glance would give her nightmares.

Suddenly a pat on her shoulder from behind startled Su Nai so much she almost turned and drew her gun, but she recalled she wasn't fighting alone—someone was behind her.

What the hell!

She glared at Zhong He, her aura fierce.

Zhong He, for no reason, felt the hostility, slightly curled his lip, jerked his chin left‑forward to indicate; Su Nai followed his gaze and frowned in confusion.

Su Nai bumped Zhong He's shoulder, making faces.

What is he doing, playing puzzles?

Zhong He oddly read the meaning from her overly expressive face, silently shook his head, lips moving without sound: "Earthquake."

Holy shit!

Su Nai looked again, her eyes nearly popping out.

That man in a suit was haphazardly piecing together the desert‑island map, which is why the roads connect randomly and the whole island is a mess!

Your technique for manipulating the mechanisms is pretty fancy!

Seeing Su Nai about to rush forward, Zhong He hastily clapped a hand over her mouth, eyes warning.

Su Nai glared, "Let go of me, old lady!"

Zhong He softened his brows, turned his gaze to Wims, "Don't act recklessly, it's frightening."

Alright, alright, alright! Su Nai rolled her eyes helplessly, "You're a big man, why are you so fussy?"

Zhong He: "……"

Although she didn't speak, it felt really noisy.

The two of them were practically twisted into knots in the corner.

Fortunately, after Wims finished the map, he didn't come this way but went to another, more concealed room; the door was thick and obviously soundproof.

Su Nai punched Zhong He aside, "Almost suffocated me, old lady!"

Zhong He shook his hand, "You really are… pretty awesome."

Because the opposite gaze was too threatening, I could only change my words on the fly.

"This is just a temporary control room; there's nothing for surgery here, nothing to see, and there's another level below."

When Su Nai came down earlier, she'd noticed the stairs also led to a second underground level.

"Shouldn't we consult Jin Chen first?" Zhong He worried that acting rashly would cause trouble.

"If you want to see them, just say so."

Su Nai made a noise and was the first to run out and go downstairs.

Zhong He: "……" Really, that's not what I meant!

He could only follow after her.

Three seconds later.

"Holy shit, this damned heaven! Run!"

Even before Zhong He had stepped onto the stairs, Su Nai shoved him back, "Down there is where they keep the wild beasts—tigers, lions, wild wolves, leopards, you name it!"

Zhong He stared at the door that could no longer be closed, desperately sucking in a breath of cold air.

"Do you really have to blow the door up?"

Su Nai had no time to listen to Zhong He's nagging; she grabbed his arm and ran up, "I heard the commotion inside and thought it was an experimental subject."

"But maybe it's a good thing—come with me!"

Su Nai didn't run straight out of the cave; instead she brought him back to the control room, even blasting through the iris‑recognition door with a shot and blowing up this door as well.

Then she snatched the large knife from the table—used for cutting open bodies—and smashed it against the soundproof door.

Inside, Wims quickly heard the commotion, came out holding his pistol, on alert, "Who!"

Roar—

What greeted him was a herd of ferocious beasts.

Weimusi was startled.

Shouldn't these beasts be locked down below?!

Get lost!

Su Nai kicked Weimusi in the butt from behind the door, grabbed Zhong He, and rushed into the soundproof door, slamming it shut.

You guys!

Weimusi, unaware at first, realized too late that he was already standing in the midst of the beasts.

And the only door that could withstand the beasts was already tightly shut.

Weimusi: "……"

In the room, Su Nai and Zhong He lay on the window, looking out.

Su Nai: "Hiss……just looking at it hurts."

Zhong He: "Beasts unafraid of bullets…they're not just experimenting on humans."

Su Nai: "Beasts go missing and no one cares."

Watching Weimusi's body being torn apart by the beasts, yet he wouldn't die—it was gruesome and terrifying.

Fortunately, the beasts perhaps remembered who truly harmed them, following the scent they charged out of the cave in droves.

Su Nai withdrew her gaze and pulled out the communicator Jin Chen gave her.

Mountain Eagle, Mountain Eagle! I am the leopard! over!

You're crazy. Jin Chen couldn't help but curse.

I told you to find Lin Gui and He Chao, I'm already outside the cave—where are you guys?

Jin Chen and Yu Sui crouched in the corner, observing the controlled werewolf fighting Lin Gui, while He Chao didn't know where he had gone.

The control room is beneath this cave, capable of controlling the island's entire structural mechanisms; the second level holds the beasts, which I've already released—be careful.

Right! Fang Yi is the mastermind! This person is neither male nor female, utterly terrifying.

Yu Sui's gaze swept the entire cave interior: "Fang Yi isn't here."

You stay put; we'll coordinate inside and out later. Jin Chen turned off the earpiece and drew his dagger again.

Yu Sui also stood up, then got splashed with a bowl of herbal medicine.

He spat, tried to turn his head, but Jin Chen held his face in place, so he could only obediently look up.

Hmm… turning into a spotted cat would also look nice.

Jin Chen admired it for a moment, pinched her cheek, and said, "Split up—go find Fang Yi, go lead the beasts and werewolves into battle; which do you choose?

Yu Sui hesitated not, "Lead the beasts."

That sounds really dangerous.

Knowing the brat deliberately picked something that sounded hard to handle, Jin Chen was glad for once that Yu Sui's mind wasn't quick.

Alright, then comrade Yu Xiao Sui, you'll have to work hard.

You must return safely, no injuries allowed—heard?

Yeah! You too. Yu Sui had already seen the beasts charging out; there was no time to say more, nimbly leaping down from the rocks to lead the beasts away.
