The corners of Yang Yu's mouth curled up wildly and he ran very fast, fearing that Bu Yao would see the expression on his face and told him not to press the alarm device even if he died.
When he ran to the first floor, Yang Yu saw Bai Jin waiting on the side. On this floor, the flashing frequency of the charm mark on Bai Jin's body was much slower than that on the previous floor, so there was no need to give her any more medicine.
The lighting facilities here are all installed in a circular dome, so you can move around freely without worrying about damaging the lighting.
The only thing Yang Yu was worried about was that the old man hesitated and didn't press the button in the end, and he would have to run back to press it. By then, it would no longer be so natural for him to appear on the first underground floor.
If the situation developed into that, Yang Yu would only regret that he should have run away earlier without making a sound, and should not have spoken out his true feelings in such excitement.
On the second underground floor, in the Secret Weapon Development and Research Department of the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce, researchers in white clothes shuttled back and forth between the neatly arranged incubators, observing and recording the status of the experimental subjects.
The incubator is transparent, 1.9 meters high, cylindrical in shape, and filled with green nutrient solution. Armored wolfhounds are growing up slowly inside it.
"No. A-711, in good condition, about to mature, ready to move to the next stage."
Several tall porters took the incubator from the machine, passed through the iron fence surrounding the research center, and carried the incubator into the prison-like incubator room.
There were wolfhounds of different sizes and armor shapes. Their pairs of red eyes were extremely conspicuous in the darkness. Upon closer observation, the wolfhounds' pupils were like snakes. When they saw the porters bringing in new compatriots, they let out low roars and kept hitting the railings with their sharp claws like steel, making crackling sounds.
Some wolfhounds also stay quietly in the depths of the cage, without making any sound, closing their eyes and resting, using their tongues to explore everything around them.
These synthetic beasts are collectively called Steel Dragon Wolves. They are made by mixing the blood of three monsters, Steel Wolf, Ground Snake and Armored Dragon Lizard, in different proportions. They inherit the sharp claws of Steel Wolf, the flexibility of Ground Snake and the defense of Armored Dragon Lizard.
This synthetic beast looks only slightly larger than an ordinary wolf, but its strength far exceeds that of ordinary orc soldiers. It can devour the flesh and blood of its enemies to replenish its energy, so there is no need to worry about rations. Moreover, since the three synthetic beasts all have a certain nocturnal nature and super endurance, they can run long distances silently in the dark, attack sleeping enemies, and prevent them from waking up.
It can be said to be an excellent war machine.
The downside is that it is difficult to control and transport.
The plan of the entire research institute is to transport them directly using the incubator, calculate the maturity time, and then they can be put into battle directly once they are there.
As for the difficulty in controlling them, what they do is select Steel Dragon Wolves that are easy to obey, clone them, let them produce multiple offspring, and then select Steel Dragon Wolves that are even easier to obey to produce multiple offspring. This cycle repeats. After many rounds of selection and breeding, they have achieved initial results, and the cases of Steel Dragon Wolves tearing cages are becoming less and less.
Success is just a matter of time.
Those who do training do training, those who do record do record, and those who do training do training. The entire secret weapons research department is in order.
Suddenly, a discordant alarm sounded.
Normally, an alarm would sound when a Steel Dragon Wolf escaped control, but this time the alarm was a little different. It was an alarm they had never heard of before.
Not only them, but the entire research institute heard this kind of alarm for the first time. The loud alarm even woke up Asuna who was sleeping.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Secret Weapons Research Department first looked through the employee manual to confirm the procedure again before issuing the order.
"Researchers, enter the emergency shelter, keepers, open all cages and let the Steel Dragon Wolf go to the first floor. We must prevent the intruders from escaping from underground at any cost!"
At the same time, the three managers guarding the entrance to the first underground floor also made an immediate judgment.
"Close the gate. Do not open it without Asuna's order!"
"But Master Kalilala is still in the basement!"
"Don't doubt the instructions! This alarm has the highest priority and needs to be executed at all costs! Master Kalilala must know this too. After you close the door, consult Master Slarat and Master Asuna."
The manager immediately mobilized illegal workers to block the entrance to the first underground floor.
At the same time, the illegal workers on the first underground floor were stunned. They had never heard such an alarm before, and it was not taught in the employee handbook when they joined the company. At this moment, they were all confused and at a loss.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Yu walked to the center of the first underground floor with a serious face and shouted:
"Everyone, I am the new guard officer, and I am here to instruct you under the direct instruction of Lady Asuna! Although this happened suddenly, we are now starting a combat training. Lady Asuna hopes to see your loyalty and fearlessness! Now, assemble! If you succeed in this combat, Lady Asuna will reward you! Everything is for Lady Asuna!"
Originally, most of the illegal workers were skeptical, but when they heard Yang Yu calling "Lady Asna" repeatedly, their suspicion of Yang Yu gradually disappeared. Finally, when they heard that Lady Asna was going to reward them, they all gathered in front of Yang Yu and shouted "Long live Lady Asna".
Sure enough, this charm is not a simple charm, but has a brainwashing effect.
But it is precisely because charm has a certain brainwashing effect that Yang Yu can easily control the illegal workers here.
However, the fact that the staff here are afraid of death is also a reason. If someone who knows how to manage the troops is left here, Yang Yu would not succeed so easily.
"We have limited time. We don't have time to get used to each other. Everyone I call on will have ten seconds to tell me what you are good at and what skills you have. I'll start with you!"
Yang Yu pointed at Bai Jin and asked her to demonstrate.
"I am good at controlling magic. My main skills are..."
"Very good, you are assigned as Control Number One, stand at the back. You are next!" Yang Yu pointed at a magician at random.
"I am good at single-target powerful spells. My main skills are..."
"Very good, you are assigned as the last hit, stand on the right. Next."
Taking advantage of the time when the alarm sounded, Yang Yu quickly assigned numbers to everyone present and divided the thirty or so illegal workers into four groups: defense, control, assistance, and finishing off. The four groups formed a sharp arrow. Yang Yu set an example by standing at the front of the team, aiming at the exit of the secret weapons research office.
It was a flat and smooth wall, which usually blended in with the entire first underground floor and was hidden from the public.
When an accident occurs, the wall will crack, opening a door, deliberately guiding the out-of-control Steel Dragon Wolves into the first underground level and handing them over to the black workers for disposal.
This treatment does not include loss calculation.
In the past, the illegal workers fought on their own and had no defense when the wall cracked, resulting in countless casualties.
This time, they were united together by Yang Yu, and were fully prepared before the Steel Dragon Wolf emerged.
