Soon, they arrived at the crocodile house.
There is a huge crocodile sculpture outside the crocodile house. The sculpture is very lifelike. The crocodile with its mouth wide open looks extremely ferocious, as if it is about to bite someone in the next moment.
Next to the sculpture, the door of the crocodile museum was locked, and there was a red sign hanging on it with eight large characters reading "The museum is under renovation and temporarily closed."
The SUV stopped at the door. Lan Ke walked over and saw a big iron lock hanging on the gate.
She immediately said to Babao, "Babao, scan this lock to see if there is anything hidden inside."
Babao immediately flew over and scanned the big iron lock. After a while, the scan was completed, and the result was the same as Lan Ke guessed, there was a miniature bomb inside.
Lan Ke snorted disdainfully, took out the master key to unlock the iron lock, and then pulled open the big iron door with force.
There was no way to drive inside, so they had to walk in.
Not long after entering, there is an artificial lake with crocodiles in front. A winding plank road is built on the lake, and there is a water pavilion in the middle of the plank road, which is a place to take photos and buy peripheral products.
There is a low island on the artificial lake. It covers a large area of about 100 square meters and is where the crocodiles usually live.
There is a plank road that connects to the island, but this plank road has been closed for a long time and tourists are prohibited from entering.
Lan Ke had visited the crocodile pavilion when she came to the Beijing Zoo, and had successfully entered. But she was just an ordinary tourist at the time, so she looked around and gave up.
But today is different, because the paper says that the entrance to the underground research institute is in the center of the island.
This is the only entrance and the only exit. If you want to enter the underground research institute, you must first go to Crocodile Island.
Lan Ke stood on the plank road, looking at the artificial lake below with an expressionless face.
She was lucky today as a thick layer of ice had formed on the artificial lake.
Then she began to observe Alligator Island again.
Some trees and lawns were planted on Crocodile Island, but the lawns were already covered with snow, and the trees were also covered with snow.
At first glance, the island was all white, and there was no sign of crocodiles at all.
Lan Ke didn't dare to be careless. She also brought Li Tianyou and Zheng Yue in this time. In order to ensure their safety, she had to be more careful.
Otherwise, if crocodiles suddenly appeared after they arrived on the island, she and Jun Tianheng would be able to deal with it, but Li Tianyou and Zheng Yue would not be able to.
Since there is an underground research institute here, those crocodiles cannot be judged by common sense.
There is no doubt that the mutation level of those crocodiles will be very high.
She said to Babao again: "Babao, fly to the island and check if there are any crocodiles."
"Why me again?" Babao complained dissatisfiedly, and was reluctant to move until Lan Ke glared at him, then he started working obediently.
It flapped its wings and soon flew to Crocodile Island.
This time it did not land, but instead flew higher cautiously, circling around Crocodile Island and scanning.
Soon, it flew back and landed on the pillar of the plank road: "You can go up, I have found the entrance!"
Lan Ke asked: "Where is the crocodile?"
Babao shook his head: "I didn't find any crocodiles. I think they hid under the water."
Lan Ke then called them over. To be on the safe side, she replaced the magazines filled with bullets for Li Tianyou and Zheng Yue, and said with blessing: "The situation up there is unclear. Follow behind me when you go up there, and be careful!"
She did not let the two of them stay there and wait, for fear that the mysterious man had been hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Zheng Yue and Li Tianyou both knew that this operation would be very dangerous, so they nodded cautiously.
They didn't say they wouldn't go, because they all knew in their hearts that in a place like this, the safest place would be to stay with Lan Ke and Jun Tianheng.
If you separate from them, you will die faster.
They soon arrived at the closed plank road and were blocked by a locked iron gate.
Lan Ke looked at the lock on the iron door and asked Babao to scan it again. As expected, there was also a miniature bomb inside.
"These guys are really cautious!" Lan Ke cursed inwardly, took out the master key to unlock the door again, then opened the iron door and walked in.
The lake was completely frozen, and it was impossible to see what was underneath the ice. Lan Ke, holding a gun, walked in front with Jun Tianheng.
Zheng Yue and Li Tianyou followed closely behind them, looking around carefully as they walked.
The four of them walked very fast and had already covered half the distance.
At this time, Li Tianyou, who had been observing the ice surface, suddenly exclaimed: "Sister Lan! There is something under the ice!"
Lan Ke immediately turned around and looked in the direction he was pointing.
When she looked down, she found a huge black shadow under the ice.
Lan Ke immediately said, "Don't worry about it! Let's go! We'll talk about it after we get to the island!"
Li Tianyou and Zheng Yue were extremely worried, but they did not dare to shoot at the ice. They did not know how thick the ice was, and they were afraid that breaking the ice would make it easier for the things below to attack them.
If that's the case, it would be too unfair.
At this moment, a muffled impact sound suddenly came from under the ice.
Li Tianyou exclaimed again: "Oh no! It's hitting the ice! It's trying to get out!"
"Run!" Zheng Yueli shouted and pulled him and ran.
Li Tianyou was a teenager after all. After he reacted, he ran faster than Zheng Yue. Later, he was the one pulling Zheng Yue while running.
Fortunately, the plank road was not long and they quickly reached the island.
Just as they stepped onto Crocodile Island, there was a sudden "crash" sound from behind. A hole appeared in the ice, and a black, hideous head emerged, with its slender vertical pupils staring coldly at the four people on the island.
Just when the four people heard the noise and turned back to look, it sank again, swimming silently under the ice, and quietly came to the vicinity of Crocodile Island.
At this time, the four people on the island had already seen the ice hole.
Li Tianyou was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva: "Sister Lan, what should we do now?"
"Let's find the research institute first!" Lan Ke said in a deep voice and walked ahead again.
This crocodile island is not too big, but it is much larger than the crocodile islands in other zoos.
Babaofei led the way for Lan Ke in front, and soon they arrived at the so-called entrance.
There is an alloy door here, which should be locked normally. But strangely, it is not locked now, but instead a crack is opened.
Looking at it this way, it really looks like a trap.
Lan Ke hesitated for only a moment before deciding to go down and take a look.
She checked it first, then asked Babao to do a scan, and found that there were no traps such as metal wires connected underneath.
So, she opened the alloy door without hesitation.
The alloy door looked small but was extremely heavy. As soon as it was opened, the expressions of the four people present all changed.
