Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Live Well with Your Daughter
Having confirmed that nothing was missed, the moment Baize landed, Ji Wanwan grabbed Lion and Wen Yuheng, “Let’s go!”
At the same time, Lion’s voice was stretched into a strange roar by the rapidly moving space, “Keep going left 15 meters, there’s a medicine store!”
“Whoosh—”
The next second, Baize teleported to the medicine store, only to find it empty.
He angrily smashed the door and then closed his eyes to sense his surroundings.
One second before, Ji Wanwan had formed a Space Barrier, cutting off Lion’s contact with the outside world, “Lion, other than the medicine store?”
Lion, “Another 17 meters to the left, the food store!”
“Food? Great! I like that!!” Before her words ended, Ji Wanwan teleported with the two of them straight to the “granary.”
By the time Baize caught up, Ji Wanwan had already emptied the food store and teleported back to the medicine store.
Under Lion’s guidance, Ji Wanwan conducted a massive raid in the underground arena.
In the end, after the supplies were completely scavenged, Ji Wanwan teleported into the control room on the -5th floor of the underground arena.
Through the monitors, Ji Wanwan saw that the underground arena was now in total chaos.
Union members and auction attendees were running everywhere, many taking advantage of the chaos to commit atrocities, with screams, curses, and shrieks filling the entire underground arena.
At the same time, Ji Wanwan also discovered through the monitoring that in a corner of the -5th floor, there was a laboratory in which many people were imprisoned.
She pointed to the laboratory on the monitor and asked Lion, “What kind of experiments is Baize Union conducting by imprisoning so many people?”
Lion, also staring at the monitor with a grave expression, “Do you remember the zombie that followed Baize around?”
As clever as Ji Wanwan was, she immediately understood what Lion meant.
That monster was indeed not naturally occurring!

This Baize Union! They’re simply an evil force with no wicked deed undone!
Wen Yuheng saw her expression change and guessed her thoughts, “Thinking about rescuing the people in the laboratory?”
“Yes!” Now armed with the Super Shelter System, Ji Wanwan naturally did not want innocent people to perish, “But right now, it’s just the three of us, and I’m not familiar with this place!”
Three of us??
Not familiar with this place??
Lion, “…”
Lion, feeling coerced onto a pirate ship, “Little girl, are you hinting at me?”
Ji Wanwan, with the intent to deceive plainly written on her face, “Heehee, think about it, joining us?”
“Whoosh—”
Catching a glimpse of Baize pursuing them from the corner of his eye, Lion, “…”
Did he have a choice?
“Baize! Are you like a plaster that just won’t come off—”
Accompanied by Ji Wanwan’s voice changing on the word “off,” the three disappeared once again.
Get rid of me?
This time, you won’t be able to shake me off!
Baize curved his lips and followed again.
After following Ji Wanwan’s teleportation to the -4th floor, Lion was puzzled, “Weren’t we going to the lab? Why are we heading up?”
Ji Wanwan’s eyes lit up, “You agreed, Lion? Then let’s go!”
Lion, “…” He was actually planning to go to the lab as well…
“Whoosh—”
Ji Wanwan teleported into the laboratory.
Although Ji Wanwan had already seen the general layout of the laboratory through the surveillance, her heart still gave a violent lurch the moment she personally set foot inside.
The laboratory was the size of an indoor basketball court, filled with workbenches everywhere. Having gotten used to the dizziness, Lion and Wen Yuheng, upon clearly seeing the scene inside the lab, turned pale and couldn’t help but frown.
The overpowering stench of blood was nauseating.
To the left of the laboratory were several surgical beds illuminated by shadowless lamps, each accompanied by a small cart. On the carts were laid out blood-soaked surgical tools such as scalpels, forceps, hemostats, and syringes.
On the right side of the laboratory was a wall covered in torture devices, with disturbingly gore-streaked traces on the wall that sent chills down one’s spine. Several large torture instruments were placed below the wall, one of which had a lifeless human still bound to an iron rack.
Directly in front of the laboratory stood a number of large iron cages, each filled with either humans or zombies.
From left to right, the cages contained ordinary people, humans in partial Corpse Transformation, humans in full Corpse Transformation, zombies, and Intelligent Zombies.
These humans and corpses varied in height, weight, and gender, but they all shared one thing in common: they were barely clothed and covered in wounds.
They were either crazed, dull, fearful, or in despair, clearly having undergone immense physical and mental torture, far from what constituted a normal person.
“Damn it, beasts!” Wen Yuheng clenched his fists tightly, his chest filled with a sense of powerlessness and rage, and his face flushed with anger.
“Su Hui… Yinyin…”
Lion behind Ji Wanwan murmured shakily.
In the next instant, Lion suddenly burst forth, his punch sending a blocking workbench flying as he scrambled desperately towards the cage with humans in partial Corpse Transformation, his eyes beneath the mask already brimming with tears.
“Don’t… come… here…”
In the cage, a female in partial Corpse Transformation, barely recognizable as a young woman, shook her head at Lion and uttered a muddled sound.
Tears fell from her red eyes, which were near losing sight of their pupils: “Brother Xun… don’t… come here…”
Regaining his senses, Wen Yuheng quickly lunged forward to restrain Lion, preventing him from getting any closer to the cage.
The towering Lion was pinned to the ground by Wen Yuheng, who gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, and he wailed in agony, hitting the floor: “Xiao Hui… Xiao Hui… I’m sorry, Xiao Hui…”
The partially transformed Su Hui in the cage slightly moved her lips, forming what could only be described as a gruesome smile, and gestured towards the cage containing ordinary humans: “Yinyin… save Yinyin… take your daughter and keep living…”
Lion stiffened, and suddenly noticed that in the cage of ordinary humans, a skinny girl was curled up in a corner, looking at the three outside the cage with frightened and anxious eyes.
Overjoyed, Lion immediately took off his mask: “Yinyin! It’s daddy! Daddy’s here to save you!”
In that moment, Ji Wanwan saw Lion’s face clearly.
He was the muscular man she had seen at the entrance of the Bath City earlier in the morning.
So he was a member of the Baize Union!
No wonder he knew the underground gambling den so well!
Ji Wanwan immediately became cautious.
But if he was a member of the Baize Union, why were his wife and daughter still imprisoned here, with his wife being tortured to this extent?
The little girl in the cage burst into tears the moment she saw Lion removing his mask: “Daddy!”
Yinyin’s clear voice echoed in the laboratory, profoundly heartbreaking.
Lion rushed forward, trying to open the cage. The people inside, due to his movements, all huddled to the other side, their faces turning crimson as they crammed together, none wishing to come half a step closer to Lion, except for Yinyin.
The lock on the cage was a hardened steel combination lock. Lion smashed his fists against it several times, his knuckles bloody and raw, but he couldn’t break it open.
Ji Wanwan pursed her lips and stepped forward: “Let me have a look.”
She had a Level 1 Mechanics Master skill, which might come in handy.
After studying the principle of the lock, Ji Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s not hard, give me 10 seconds.”
Wen Yuheng gave a slight nod, carefully on guard for Baize who might catch up at any moment.
Ji Wanwan, meanwhile, bent down and placed her ear against the lock, listening attentively to the sound of it turning.
Soon, with a couple of “click” sounds, the combination lock was open.
Lion quickly took Yinyin out of the cage.
