The off-road vehicle sped along the empty road.
Because of the new smartphone, Lan Ke directly turned on the map navigation and avoided all safe bases.
Fortunately, she did not encounter any trouble along the way and arrived at the Beijing Zoo in just one hour.
It didn't take so long originally, but in order to avoid the safe base, Lan Ke took several detours, so it took a little longer on the road.
When they arrived at the Beijing Zoo, the place looked deserted and extremely desolate.
There are banners celebrating New Year's Day hanging at the entrance of the zoo, and colorful lights and big red lanterns celebrating the festival are hung on the surrounding trees.
Unfortunately, the lights had been powered off and looked dim. The big red lanterns had been shattered by the snowstorm and were in tatters.
Overall, this place has the atmosphere of a haunted house.
It would be more appropriate if there were a few more crows' calls.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought came to Lan Ke's mind, she heard a series of "Ahh" sounds, which sounded like a crow calling.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, she saw a pair of pitch-black crows standing on a tree in the zoo.
Zheng Yue exclaimed: "There are crows here!"
Li Tianyou was also puzzled: "Why are they outside in this weather? And they are too big, aren't they?"
Lan Ke reminded them: "Be careful, they are mutant beasts!"
The so-called mutant beasts are evolved beasts, but most people prefer to call them "mutated beasts" rather than the name "evolved beasts".
At this moment, Jun Tianheng suddenly reminded: "There is something wrong with their right eye. That eye is fake. Someone installed a micro camera in it!"
As soon as Jun Tianheng finished speaking, the right eyes of the two mutant crows exploded. Because the eyes were too close to their heads, their heads also exploded.
Without their heads, the two mutant crows would be almost dead even if they were not dead yet.
Lan Ke knew that this was done by Jun Tianheng, and only in this way could the people behind the scenes be prevented from seeing more information.
Her face darkened and she immediately activated a powerful jammer.
When she came here, she was not sure whether this place was really related to the mysterious organization, but now she is completely sure.
"There should be an underground research institute here, otherwise there would be no reason for those people to monitor this place all the time." Lan Ke opened the car door, walked to the locked door, and looked at the lock on the door carefully.
The doors here are much more ordinary than those in private hospitals, and the locks on them look like ordinary big iron locks.
Despite this, Lan Ke did not take it lightly. She secretly called out Babao and asked it to scan the iron lock.
Sure enough, the scan results showed that micro-bombs were also installed in the locks here.
Lan Ke immediately took out the master key, opened the door lock, pushed open the door, and walked in alone.
Not far away on the ground were the two mutant crows. After their heads exploded, they fell from the treetops and landed on the snow, splattering blood all over the ground.
But they were not dead yet, even though their heads were blown to pieces, their wings were still trembling. Probably because they felt Lan Ke approaching, they flapped their wings nervously, as if they wanted to fly again.
At this time, Zheng Yue drove in in an off-road vehicle.
She was driving slowly, and stopped immediately when she saw Lan Ke.
Lan Ke waved at her. Zheng Yue understood, got out of the car with a knife, and walked quickly towards Lan Ke.
Her footsteps were heavy, making a squeaking sound on the snow. The mutant crow trembled even more violently when it heard the sound.
Zheng Yue glanced at the crows on the ground and showed no mercy. He quickly killed them with a knife and even performed an autopsy on the spot.
Soon, she found needle holes on the two mutant crows and took out the remains of the micro-camera from their exploded heads. After using her special powers to feel them, she said, "They were injected with at least two drugs, one of which was injected for a long time, and the other was injected recently, which should be a foreign virus."
As she spoke, she took out the heart cores of two crows, wiped off the blood, and placed them in front of her eyes for observation: "The heart cores are quite large, but unfortunately I have never seen the heart cores of other mutant crows, so I can't judge their level."
Lan Ke gave a direct answer: "They are all level 2 mutant beasts."
She had much more experience than Zheng Yue, so she could tell their level at a glance.
Zheng Yue nodded, and carefully observed the two heart cores, noting their sizes so that they could be used as a criterion for future judgment.
Then she raised the heart core in her hand and called it to Lan Ke.
"Keep it for now and we'll talk about it when we get back. Get in the car first." This is a zoo. Mutated or exotic animals may appear at any time. It is safer in the car.
At the same time, people in an underground research institute were already panicking.
"What should I do? The signal is being interfered with!"
"Is it the same group from yesterday? How dare they?"
Yes, too arrogant!
We just blew up one of their research institutes yesterday, and these guys still dare to attack them!
One of the researchers asked, "Director Zhou, what should we do now? Should we release reagent No. 3 directly?"
The "Director Zhou" he mentioned was a middle-aged man in his fifties with deep nasolabial lines on his face. He looked extremely serious and gloomy.
Hearing his subordinates' words, he shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient. Wait a little longer until they get deeper into the zoo. Since they dare to come this time, we can't let them get away! If Wang doesn't have the ability to stop them, I, Zhou Shancai, will make sure they never come back!"
The panicked researcher heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Once the sense of crisis in their hearts disappeared, they began to feel proud and even excitedly talked about the arrangements for Lan Ke and the others.
"When I catch them later, I will cut them open to see how brave they are to go against us!"
"That's right, these people are too arrogant, thinking that they can show off just because they have martial arts. They don't take others seriously at all!"
"They are cold-blooded butchers! A bunch of brainless idiots! They even dare to kill researchers! Do they know what they are doing?"
"I think they don't understand our great cause at all. They just want to show off their bravery and stir up trouble all day long!"
"Humph, how can such simple-minded and strong-limbed people understand how great what we are doing is? I think their brains are not fully developed yet. They are just animals."
While they were talking loudly, no one noticed that there was a pair of cold eyes behind the door, watching them silently.
At this time in the zoo, Lan Ke was sitting in the car, vigilantly observing everything around him.
