Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Chaos in the Research Institute

Meanwhile, inside the research institute, Su Jin had run into some unexpected serious trouble.

The Local Tyrant Gold’s Invisibility Ability had actually failed!

Fortunately, she was currently in the laboratory on sublevel one, where no one had yet discovered them.

Looking at Su Jin, who was anxiously trying to figure out a solution, Ren Yingjie became distraught, but thankfully, the other three had already been successfully rescued by this young woman.

As for himself being the only one left, it didn’t really matter.

“Can… Can you figure out how to escape by yourself?” Ren Yingjie asked Su Jin.

“???”

Su Jin looked at Ren Yingjie puzzled. What did he mean by that?

“What I mean is, if you can get out on your own, don’t worry about me… It’s already great that they could get out,” Ren Yingjie said to Su Jin with a smile.

“…”

Su Jin frowned. The situation was quite troublesome. Local Tyrant Gold clearly showed signs of Special Ability exhaustion; at the moment, it was so tired that its tongue was sticking out and its body had gone limp in her arms.

Feeling a bit sorry for Local Tyrant Gold in this state, Su Jin pretended to put Local Tyrant Gold into her coat pocket, then she placed it back into Space.

If it really came down to it, should they wait until Local Tyrant Gold had recovered before leaving?

At that moment, however, the sound of an alarm suddenly rang out from outside the door.

Su Jin looked at Ren Yingjie in shock, and he had the same expression on his face.

Have they been discovered?!

Ren Yingjie, quick to react, turned off the lights in the laboratory and then pulled Su Jin to hide under a lab bench.

The chemistry laboratory was completely sealed off, and the opaque white PVC panels had already completely blocked the light from inside the room. Ren Yingjie felt it was a display of a guilty conscience, but perhaps hiding for a bit might just let them escape detection…

Su Jin being pulled to squat under the desk by Ren Yingjie: “…”

The two of them squatted in the darkness for a long time without seeing anyone come in, yet the clamor outside never ceased.

What was happening?

Could it be that Lin Xiuyuan and the others had been discovered? Yet the sounds clearly came from within sublevel one, which Lin Xiuyuan and his group couldn’t have entered.

“There are people locked up on the other side undergoing human experiments. Maybe something happened there,” Ren Yingjie whispered.

“Is there a way to see what’s happening outside?” Su Jin asked.

“There is, but I don’t dare,” Ren Yingjie replied.

“…”

Su Jin was somewhat speechless, please, this is a critical moment for your life and death!

“Don’t worry, I’m really good at this, I’ll get you out,” Su Jin said.

In the darkness, Ren Yingjie quickly weighed his options. Regardless of whether he would be discovered tonight, it was a matter of life and death. He decided to take a leap of faith.

“If it comes to a matter of escape, if you can get out, then get out. Really, don’t worry about me, okay?”

Having made up his mind to face death, Ren Yingjie crawled along the passageway on either side of the bench toward the Clean Room on the side of the lab.

The Clean Room was the place where many experimental instruments were stored, especially highly precise equipment like microscopes, which could only be used most accurately within the Clean Room. There happened to be a window in the Clean Room that looked outside, covered by curtains, which usually wouldn’t be noticed by people outside.

Su Jin walked behind Ren Yingjie, watching him kneel and crawl forward on the ground, suddenly unsure of what to say.

Despite his obvious timidity, he willingly ended up staying till the end.

So was this being courageous or cowardly?

“Duck down a bit!” Ren Yingjie whispered.

Su Jin, feeling helpless, had no choice but to crouch down a little more.

“There’s a window inside, be careful.”
