“Found it.”
After waiting for a while in the ward with Grant, who was joking around, Xia Xu suddenly sat up.
Gardner's underground base is indeed well hidden and heavily guarded, but it still needs air circulation with the outside world, so ventilation ducts can lead to almost all underground areas.
The ventilation ducts here are certainly not big enough for people to crawl through like in the movies, but at least they are more than enough to accommodate spider predators. Occasionally there are obstacles such as iron nets, but they cannot stop the spider predators' iron-like claws.
This resulted in the spider-like predator completely avoiding all guards and surveillance equipment, driving straight in, and feeding back all the routes and scenes passed through to Xia Xu's smart glasses, which were finally compiled into a detailed building structure map.
Not only that, through the ventilation holes, the spider-like predators either peeked in secretly or tore through the blockages and crawled out, and they had already figured out the situation inside each building clearly.
To be honest, even as the creator of the spider predators, Xia Xu himself did not expect that they would be so useful in this situation. Originally, he simply used the spider predators as combat control units.
"I am indeed a genius."
After boasting a little in his heart with a sense of complacency, Xia Xu called up the architectural construction diagram and made some arrangements for the distribution of the spider-like predators.
The structure and guard distribution of the entire underground building were simply processed by smart glasses and pieced together into a three-dimensional model frame.
Because he was wearing smart glasses, the map presented in his field of vision was actually almost the same as a three-dimensional projection. All kinds of information were clear at a glance, and it was also more convenient for him to make judgments, analyze, and deploy troops.
Soon, the spider-like predators spread throughout the base according to his arrangements and lurked in dark corners.
"Leave."
After completing the arrangement, Xia Xu called Grant and Atuo out of the ward and stood at the elevator entrance.
The design here is very similar to the Xinyuan Building he bought from the special department, which is now the Xinghai Biomedicine Headquarters. The regular passage of the underground building is also an elevator, but the underground floor is hidden and requires a specific ID card to go down.
"So, now we have to kidnap a leader and get his ID card, right?"
Grant, who asked Xia Xu about the situation, became excited.
Finally he has reached the field where he is good at. He is very experienced in doing this kind of work.
Xia Xu called him to investigate Gardner. He thought he should be a strong reinforcement called in and the core of this operation. However, he never expected that he would just be a supporting role throughout the whole process and had no chance to show himself in front of those robots.
Despite such a psychological gap, he still has self-esteem.
Especially now that Xia Xu has become a real God, I have to perform well.
Making money is not shameful.
"No, there's no need to go through so much trouble."
Xia Xu shook his head. Just as he finished speaking, a spider-like predator crawled out from somewhere, raised its head slightly towards him, and held an identity card in its claws.
This identity card was naturally brought out from the ventilation duct by the spider predator, and it attacked a researcher inside for this purpose. However, he was just a small-time figure and should not be noticed in a short time.
Grant: “…”
"Let's go."
Xia Xu waved the card, walked into the elevator, swiped the card for identification, and the elevator quickly closed and went down to the unmarked underground floor.
bite!
The moment the elevator door opened, Grant had already drawn his bow and arrow, ready to shoot.
However, all he saw were two bodies of guards lying on the ground. It seemed that the injuries were all on the back of their necks, where a bloody hole had been pierced by some object, which had also penetrated their entire throats.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that it was a puncture, because the edge of the wound was very hideous. It would be more accurate to say that it was caused by something exploding, stretching, or tearing rather than a puncture.
He couldn't determine how the scar was caused, but it was easy to guess who caused it.
He turned his head to look at Xia Xu, his expression solemn, his frown revealed the meaning of instruction and blame: "This kind of base has a lot of monitoring facilities, especially the gate location and the guard patrol area. The death of a guard will be immediately discovered by the monitoring. If you act in advance, the other party may have been prepared."
"Don't worry, there are only two people in the monitoring room, and they have been dealt with by my robot."
Xia Xu said calmly.
Grant: “…”
"Then just ignore what I said."
The atmosphere fell into silence for a short time. Grant coughed dryly to dispel the atmosphere, and the two continued to move forward.
What he just said about Xia Xu had naturally been taken into consideration. The previous arrangements were to plan the routes and distribute the spider-like predators to the required locations, one of which was the monitoring room and the base entrance.
While waiting for the elevator to come down, he just gave an order and these two relatively important but laxly guarded areas were easily taken over by him.
After all, the monitoring room is located inside the base, so there is no need to worry about physical security before it is breached. There is no point in arranging guards if the base is breached, so there are only two regular on-duty personnel inside.
The same is true for the entrance to the base. Due to the access control and its concealment, as well as the surveillance cameras at the entrance and in the elevator, it is actually a bit redundant to arrange two people to stand guard at the door. It is more ceremonial than practical.
As for the wound on the guard's neck, it was caused by the claw of the spider predator. Although the ejection force of the rope claw was not too strong, a spike for additional anchoring could pop out from the center of the claw.
This spike was originally used to penetrate objects, so the force of its ejection is naturally very strong, and it can expand to anchor itself, similar to the expansion screw and the explosive arrow that Grant used last time, so it is equally powerful when used for attack.
The two people and the dog successfully entered the base.
The journey was not all smooth sailing, as various passages and buildings along the way actually had security doors.
Fortunately, the spider predator had the researcher ID card he brought out. Although the authority was not enough to enter the more sensitive and confidential rooms, at least most of the regular areas were unobstructed.
The number of spider-like predators is limited, and they are too busy to be deployed even if they are distributed throughout the base. This time it is finally Grant's turn to show his skills. His arrows never miss a target and he easily takes out the guards he encounters along the way.
Soon, the two arrived outside the central laboratory of the base.
The Central Laboratory, as its name suggests, is located in the center of the entire underground laboratory, surrounded by various departments and equipment rooms that are interconnected in all directions.
Here there are no more cramped corridors and security doors, and the area becomes extremely open instead.
The surroundings are filled with bright but not glaring shadowless lights. The space is wide and open, and many doors and walls have been made of glass. The various tables and cabinets are also mainly white, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
It can be said that the working environment here is relatively superior, it makes people feel relaxed and happy, and it has a high-end, technological style.
If you take a closer look at the exhibits and the various studies being conducted inside, you can only describe it as shocking.
Various organs and limbs were placed in preservative or nutrient solution, and the deformed giants and fat men were tied up in isolation rooms. Some were tortured beyond human form, and some were covered with cysts or ulcers and swellings, and had already been deformed into monsters.
"These bastards!"
Just a secret observation, Grant's eyes were already filled with rage.
