Chapter 177: The Missing Old Professors

He deliberately made the decomposition speed incredibly slow; only in this way could he make them feel absolute terror.

Sure enough.

Everyone in the laboratory, watching their own hands and feet disappear bit by bit, screamed in terror, their voices deafening.

It was so loud that Ye Cang covered his ears.

But Ye Cang still did not speed up the decomposition; instead, he stood there, expressionlessly watching the people being decomposed.

Five minutes later, those who had been standing there were now all lying on the ground.

It was not that they did not want to stand, but that their hands and feet had already disappeared, and they had no other choice but to lie on the ground.

However, in the center of this group, a hunched figure stood there with a blank expression; it was clear he did not yet understand what the situation was.

Seeing this hunched figure, Ye Cang walked over quickly.

He pulled up a photo from the Zhizi modification.

Then he removed the figure's mask and carefully compared it.

"Hmm, Professor Zheng, right?"

Ye Cang said this sentence in Chinese.

Upon hearing the title "Professor Zheng," the hunched figure's body swayed, and then he collapsed onto the ground.

Only a few seconds later, he burst into loud sobs.

While crying, he said in fluent Chinese: "It's me, it's me! I am Professor Zheng! You've come, you've finally come!"

"I have waited for you for 40 years, a full 40 years! Why did you only come now!"

Ye Cang did not speak; he just silently helped Professor Zheng up and sat him on a chair.

Then he watched him cry quietly.

As for why he did not comfort Professor Zheng, it was because Ye Cang understood that Professor Zheng needed to vent.

Professor Zheng was once the most outstanding biology expert in Huaxia, a figure from the last century.

Later, he had mysteriously disappeared during an academic exchange with the Eagle Nation.

After Huaxia searched for him many times, there were no clues; he seemed to have vanished into thin air, with no sign of him alive or dead.

And now, he had appeared in the Eagle Nation's Area 52.

It seemed that the so-called disappearance back then was the work of the Eagle Nation.

Just now, Ye Cang had intended to directly decompose everyone in this laboratory, but just as he was about to act, he discovered the figure suspected to be Professor Zheng.

So he spared him, and after comparison, confirmed it was Professor Zheng.

At this moment, Ye Cang felt a bit fortunate; it was a good thing he had read through those classified files at the time, otherwise, a major disaster would have truly happened today!

Professor Zheng sat there crying for over ten minutes before his emotions finally stabilized.

Wiping the tears from his face, Professor Zheng looked up and said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, little comrade, I've made a fool of myself."

"I really couldn't hold it back just now; actually, I didn't want to be like this."

"By the way, could you tell me what the situation is like outside now?"

"I heard you say that the Eagle Nation is gone?"

Ye Cang nodded.

"Yes, the Eagle Nation was completely eliminated by me and my team 3 days ago. It has now become a vassal state of Huaxia. The current situation is unstable, so I chose a local to be the puppet president. In a few days, the political commissars from the country will arrive."

"They will be responsible for handling all current affairs in the Eagle Nation, as well as ideological education."

Upon hearing this, Professor Zheng was overjoyed.

Good, good, good!

The Eagle Nation has been eliminated! This is truly great news!

He suddenly felt that his 40 years had been worth it!

Just as Professor Zheng wanted to say something more, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Kaisha, who was being carried by Ye Cang and struggling.

"Little comrade, what about her?"

Professor Zheng pointed at Kaisha.

Ye Cang looked down, "Don't worry about her, let's continue."

"Let's talk as we walk!"

Saying this, Ye Cang stood up and walked toward the interior of the laboratory, starting to inspect it.

Professor Zheng also stood up and followed behind Ye Cang.

Soon, Ye Cang finished inspecting the entire laboratory.

This laboratory only contained some normal human cell slices; other than that, there was nothing else.

So Ye Cang left this laboratory, with Professor Zheng following closely behind.

The three of them began to head to the next location.

On the way, Professor Zheng began to ask Ye Cang about the current situation in Huaxia.

Ye Cang was not silent as he usually was, but answered most of Professor Zheng's questions with extreme patience.

Most of the non-classified questions.

As for the classified parts, they would wait until they returned to the country to complete the genetic identification and a series of tests.

Kaisha, who was being carried, watched Ye Cang talking to Professor Zheng, and her teeth began to itch with anger.

Damn it!

When Ye Cang talked to her, he was as perfunctory as he could be.

When he talked to that old man, he was so serious.

Annoying guy!

But now she was tied up too tightly, and with an apple stuffed in her mouth, even if she was full of anger, she could only endure it.

Just like that, Ye Cang and Zheng Jiaoshou walked and talked until they arrived in front of another large door.

Looking at this door, Zheng Jiaoshou said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Lao Su should be right here."

"Come, little comrade, let's go in quickly and rescue Lao Su as well."

Lao Su was another professor.

That's right, it wasn't just Zheng Jiaoshou who was captured and brought to Area 52; besides him, there were four others, and Lao Su was one of them.

The other four were all captured by the Eagle Nation using various methods and locked in Area 52 to make them contribute to the Eagle Nation.

But they always firmly believed that Huaxia would not abandon them.

Their firm belief was rewarded.

Ye Cang had come!

Just like before, Ye Cang dismantled the door in front of him and walked in to dismantle the other people in the laboratory.

This time, Ye Cang did not deliberately dismantle them slowly as before, but instead dismantled them instantly.

In the blink of an eye, only the professor named Lao Su remained in the office.

At this moment, Lao Su had not yet fully realized what was going on; how had everyone around him disappeared?

It wasn't until Zheng Jiaoshou appeared that all his confusion was resolved.

As for what happened after that.

There was nothing much to say; Ye Cang, much like grinding monsters to level up, gradually rescued the remaining three professors.

Apart from that, there were no other discoveries.

Those five laboratories contained nothing but human cell slices and weapon parts; there really wasn't anything useful.

He pulled up the topographical map and took a look.

Ye Cang couldn't help but shake his head.

No wonder there wasn't anything useful; it turned out he had been wandering around the outer perimeter of Area 52 the whole time.

Having walked for so long, he hadn't even entered the core area at all.

Damn it!

That detestable Eagle Nation.

Why did they build Area 52 so big?

Taking a deep breath, Ye Cang intended to continue moving forward; no matter what, he had to finish exploring the entire Area 52 today.

If he didn't finish exploring today.

If he came back tomorrow, it was very likely he would only find an empty shell.

Because the people inside would have all run away.
