Although Pompeii's night vision is the weakest of the three, his hearing is the strongest.

On the third underground floor, I heard movement from the upper floors.

Leon and Alice held their breath to avoid interference.

Li Ang thought they were survivors of suture bodies because they entered the research institute and the noise they made disturbed them.

But after Pompeii listened carefully, his expression became more solemn.

"It's footsteps, and there are a lot of them."

This sentence completely shattered Li Ang's luck.

If it is a sutured body, there will be movement and it is impossible to hear footsteps.

"Are they coming for us?" Li Ang couldn't help but ask.

When entering the institute, Pompeii didn't hear any movement.

That is after they enter the research institute.

Preset bracketing?

Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly.

It only took two days to mobilize so many thugs back to the research institute.

Not surprisingly, it should be the financial backer behind the research institute, Earl Monroe of Rostim City.

If Pompeii's statement is followed, then it is very likely that among the thugs coming this time, there are extraordinary beings.

In other words, this is a fierce battle!

Pompeii raised his front paws and made a shushing gesture, then tiptoed up the stairs to analyze the sound closer.

Pompeii listened and said: "The footsteps are very scattered. They are not concentrated towards the third underground floor. They are everywhere. It seems that they are not coming specially for us."

Li Ang's mind was racing, thinking about countermeasures.

If it is not aimed at them, then this group of people should come here for the research results of the institute.

Thinking of the destroyed data center on the second floor, the backup data was taken away, and all current data was destroyed. Then their purpose this time should be to find Dr. Med's personal notes and the "Black Code".

"Can you hear the specific number of people?" Li Ang continued to ask.

Pompeii lowered his head, sometimes turning his head to the left, and sometimes to the right.

"The sound is too messy to hear. But I estimate there are at least twenty or thirty!"

Now they are on the upper level. According to this rhythm, they will definitely search all the way down.

The third underground floor leads to the resurrection chamber, which is a one-way dead end.

According to the current pace, going to the third underground floor is only a matter of course.

With Pompeii and Alice, there is no way to face so many enemies.

Li Ang must find a way to send them out first.

"Let's go up first and hide!"

There are dead ends on the three underground floors, and there is a lack of places to hide and serve as bunkers.

Before all the enemies have blocked the passage, hide on the second floor and look for opportunities.

Li Ang turned his head, squatted down and rubbed Alice's head: "There will be danger later, follow Pompeii. Never, don't shout."

"You must take this thing."

Li Ang handed the sheepskin cover of "The Black Code" to Alice.

Alice nodded obediently, reluctantly let go of Leon's hand, took the sheepskin cover, and walked to Pompeii.

"Later, you guys hide first. I'll lure the enemy away, and you leave first. I'll go find you."

Li Ang's plan is simple.

Among the three, he is the only one with combat effectiveness, so it is up to him to attract the enemy and buy time for Pompeii and Alice to escape.

Pompeii understood the current situation. Staying with him and Alice would only delay Leon's retreat.

"Okay, we'll wait for you outside."

Slowly walking up to the second floor, this time without Pompeii's clever ears, Li Ang directly heard the rustling footsteps and was searching everywhere on the second underground floor.

There was even the sound of a walkie-talkie.

"Nothing was found here, everything was burnt."

"There are no traces of survivors in the institute."

Li Ang led the two men walking closely. The thugs all wore lighting equipment on their heads, and clusters of light beams swayed with their heads.

Pompeii led the way, followed by Alice and Leon.

Once you reach the same floor, the sound of footsteps will become more obvious.

There are many passages, equipment and instruments on the second floor.

With the size of Pompeii and Alice, it was easy to find cover and hide.

Li Ang hid in a corner of the blind spot, watching the moving beam of light, holding his breath and concentrating.

Just obtained the dark energy crystal cluster and improved the strength, now comes the opponent to challenge.

Li Ang holds a shield in his left hand and stretches out a tentacle in his right hand.

Wait for the nearest enemy to approach.

"Captain, there's something going on! Footprints were found here!"

Just as Li Ang was preparing to attack, a sudden report interrupted his action and brought the search of all team members to an abrupt end.

"The soles of the feet are human-shaped and half the size of a normal human being."

An excited and familiar voice immediately appeared on the intercom.

"It's Leon! Leon is still alive, right here, everyone, be careful!"

Captain Ender's voice came.

Captain Ender, in front of Monro III, used the reason of obtaining Lyon, the sutured body of free will, to reassemble his manpower and return to the Dawn Research Institute to investigate the whereabouts.

Although backup data has been obtained, the suture body Lyon is also an important part of the plan.

You want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when dead.

Based on Ender's guess, Lyon must have been fully prepared to activate the suture body to cause a riot.

Coupled with the many contacts between Ender and Leon, Ender always had a feeling in his heart——

Leon looks stupid, but is actually quite smart.

This time I returned to the research institute to search, mainly to find the "Black Code" and Leon's body.

After finding Leon's body and seeing him die with his own eyes, Ender's backup data became the only stitched body data, which was a great achievement this time.

If Leon's body is not found, it will prove that Leon finally escaped from the institute.

Captain Ender has a new goal of retrieving Leon, which is also a great achievement.

Now I hear my subordinates say that there are new footsteps on the burned ashes on the ground. What does this mean?

It means that Leon is still alive and has even returned to the institute!

"Look, look for me carefully! Everyone gather and follow the steps to find!"

The team member closest to Li Ang lowered his head and began to check the footprints.

The team members far away on the second floor also began to lower their heads and check to see if they could find footprints.

Suddenly, the headlight at the front was shaking wildly, then turned off and disappeared.

After a spine-chilling scream, everything calmed down.

"What...what's going on?"

"What just happened?"

Before the team members could react, a teammate who was so big in front of them suddenly disappeared.

The team members' eyes flashed with fear, and their headlights began to scan around to check the surrounding situation.

A group of tentacles shot out, grabbed the legs of a fringe player, and yanked hard.

Ta-ta-ta!

There was a loud sound of gunfire.

There was another scream, and one team member lost contact.

"Shrink the formation! Shrink the formation! Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

All the team members present immediately gathered together, not daring to disperse for fear of being suddenly pulled away and disappeared by the ghosts in the dark.

The team members were all breathing heavily and their hearts were beating fast.

The suture body is not scary, but the invisible and intangible enemies are scary.

Like a devil in the dark, taking action silently...
