In recent times, Qin Xiao and the others have smelled unpleasant smells too many times.
Whether it's blood, stench, or all kinds of strange potion smells, they have long been accustomed to it.
But the smell that appeared this time was so strong that even Qin Xiao couldn't help but cover his nose, and finally put on the light armor again.
"It seems like there is a smell of human life." Qin Xiao suppressed his nausea, sniffed hard, and said to himself.
In the stench coming from inside this time, he could faintly smell the stench of sweat, a smell that naturally only appeared on living people.
After smelling the smell of sweat, a bad thought suddenly flashed through Qin Xiao's mind.
Before he could turn around to ask, he saw that Guan Shanyue had already brought someone back.
"Is the door open?" Guan Shanyue asked knowingly.
Qin Xiao pointed to the iron door that had been opened. It was now dark inside, with no light visible. They didn't know what was inside.
"Haishan...you go in and take a look."
Qin Xiao pointed at the sea mountain and then at the iron gate, but he hesitated when giving the order.
This abnormal behavior attracted the attention of Guan Shanyue and others. Guan Shanyue even carefully checked Qin Xiao's body and confirmed that he was not injured before suspiciously letting Haishan clear the way.
Haishan rushed in at the lead, Huyange followed closely behind with Zhao Ruling, hiding behind Haishan's battle shield and walked in.
Guan Shanyue waved, and Chen Ke and Yuan Chen also rushed in.
Huofeng still struggled to rush out, but was still tightly held in Qin Xiao's hand.
"Don't go in yet, it's probably not suitable for you to go in yet."
He seemed to be talking to his old friend, his voice was very soft.
But Huofeng seemed to really understand Qin Xiao's words, or he felt the sadness emanating from Qin Xiao at this moment.
Not only did Huofeng no longer break free and try to rush out, but he obediently pressed against Qin Xiao's palm, tapping his hand with his sharp mouth, as if to comfort Qin Xiao.
Now only Lu Nan and Fan Yifan stayed with Qin Xiao, taking care of the only two Tianluo Empire pharmacists and the fat white man beside the wall.
Seeing Qin Xiao's sudden dejection, Lunan couldn't help but ask: "Senior Qin, we clearly won a great victory, why are you still not happy?"
"You'll know in a minute." Qin Xiao said in a low voice.
At first, Lu Nan still couldn't understand Qin Xiao's thoughts, but gradually he realized that something was wrong.
In his opinion, the most important secret in this experimental base must be hidden behind this iron gate, and it may even hide massive resources.
It stands to reason that those who went in to investigate should soon receive good news, but after waiting for a long time, they were greeted with a long silence.
The people inside seemed to have disappeared, and no sound was heard.
Lunan once wanted to take the initiative to invite Ying in to check, but in the end he wisely chose to stay here.
While waiting, Qin Xiao suddenly looked at the two Tianluo Empire pharmacists who were still alive, and said with a sneer: "I thought you would commit suicide."
The two pharmacists looked at each other, then at Qin Xiao, and finally apologized desperately to Qin Xiao.
"It's okay. You can continue to apologize. I won't do anything to you again. Just wish yourself well." Qin Xiao waved his hands in disgust and ignored these two guys.
Qin Xiao's various abnormal behaviors indicated that the situation behind the iron gate was full of weirdness. When Lu Nan and Fan Yifan looked at the iron gate again, they also had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Finally, after a long wait, Guan Shanyue's voice sounded from the transmitter: "Bring those two beasts in."
Guan Shanyue, who has always been as stable as a rock, is also angry!
"Go in, it seems they have found out what's going on inside."
Qin Xiao stood up and said. After watching Lu Nan and Fan Yifan each escort a pharmacist into the iron gate, he also caught the fat man who was desperately trying to hide aside.
"It's time for you to be freed." Qin Xiao said calmly as he carried the fat man forward.
After entering the iron gate, they passed through a short dark area and came to a "light dark area".
There is plenty of light here, but the scene here is as dark as the area.
This is also a huge internal space of tens of thousands of square meters, but unlike the empty appearance outside, there are thousands of iron cages here.
Large and small iron cages are stacked together regularly, and at first glance they look like small mechanical buildings.
Unfortunately, reality is not so beautiful. This is not a mechanical building or a mechanical fortress.
But a cage.
Various strange beasts are imprisoned in these iron cages. Most of them are physically mutilated. The stench that came out before is because the wounds on their bodies have not been treated.
The scene in front of me was extremely shocking. Although the people being imprisoned were only exotic animals, it was still hard to accept such a disregard for life.
But that's not all.
When Qin Xiao and the others followed Guan Shanyue's guidance and came to another iron gate, they opened another world.
Behind the second iron gate is still a prison of tens of thousands of square meters, with tens of thousands of iron cages stacked in the same way.
But all the people imprisoned in the iron cages here are people!
The people in the iron cage, like the alien beasts outside, are basically in a disabled state with missing arms and legs.
It's just that these people seemed to be completely numb. No matter how embarrassed they were, they didn't cry or make a fuss, or even moan.
There was a strange calm atmosphere in the entire prison. If it weren't for the heavy breathing, some people would believe it even if they said there were dead people here.
As soon as Qin Xiao walked in with someone, Guan Shanyue couldn't bear it and rushed over and knocked down a Tianluo Empire pharmacist with one punch.
His punch was so brutal that he knocked out all the pharmacist's teeth.
Lu Nan, who was escorting the pharmacist, was startled and subconsciously wanted to help him up. It wasn't until Guan Shanyue rushed up and started beating the other person violently that Lu Nan realized how stupid his idea was.
Zhao Ruling had been vomiting not far away, but when she was vomiting, her eyes were filled with tears.
As a pharmacist, Fan Yifan's first reaction after seeing the large number of wounded here was to save people.
But when she saw a poor man with his belly completely cut off and his internal organs scattered around him like tatters, her whole nerves were severely shocked.
This man had obviously suffered fatal injuries, but now he was still sitting numbly in the iron cage.
He didn't seem to notice the severe injuries he suffered, nor did he care about what medicine the needle in his arm was injecting into him.
He just sat there quietly, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.
In the silent environment, Qin Xiao took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Now you can understand why I dealt with those people like that before."
Some people died, but not completely...
