Chapter 311: A Slight Impulse of Rebellion
"Remember, never reveal your identity." Jiang Ling's last words before departure echoed in his mind again. "If something goes wrong, retreat immediately."
Su Ming silently repeated this sentence in his mind, trying to calm himself. As he moved towards his goal, the surroundings grew quieter and quieter, with only the rustling of the breeze through the trees accompanying his footsteps. The tension in his heart grew more and more obvious, as if an alarm were ringing in his ears.
The outline of a building in the distance gradually emerged. It was the laboratory housing the core scientist he was about to meet. Faint light streamed through the window, casting a shadow on his face. Su Ming looked up, his eyes etched with determination. He knew that no matter how great the dangers ahead, he had to continue on this path.
In his mind, the secrets of the laboratory were closely linked to those negatives, and solving this mystery might bring unexpected rewards. He slowed down his pace, adjusted his breathing, and gradually relaxed himself, ready to face the next challenge.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" He whispered to himself, his doubts and uneasiness intertwined, unable to shake off. What kind of person was this person? If things got out of his control, would he get into endless trouble?
At this moment, a low voice caught his attention. He approached quietly, hiding in the shadows, and listened carefully.
"Do you think this experiment is really meaningful?" asked a young voice, with hesitation and uneasiness in its voice.
"It makes sense! What we're doing could change the landscape of the entire field." Another voice sounded even more resolute, revealing their dedication and enthusiasm for the experiment. "If we succeed, all the difficulties will become insignificant."
Su Ming's heart was shaken. As expected, his suspicions were correct. The experiment being conducted here was far more complex than he had imagined. He knew he had to intervene in this conversation as soon as possible to learn more.
He cautiously walked to the window nearby and observed the situation inside through the glass. The interior of the laboratory was filled with various high-tech equipment, and the walls were covered with experimental data and charts. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
"But some experiments are too risky, and we can't control them." The young voice continued, a hint of panic in its tone. "You know, those people who had problems with the last experiment..."
"Don't worry, this is all for science," another man interrupted, a glint of enthusiasm in his eyes. "If we can break through, it will be a great advance, and all the risks will be worth it."
Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened. This blind belief made him feel deeply uneasy. He knew he had to seize the opportunity to enter this laboratory.
He slowly walked to the door, gripped the doorknob, and silently thought about the challenges he was about to face. The door slowly opened, and he took a deep breath and stepped into this unknown world.
The light in the lab was much brighter than outside. Several researchers were concentrating on operating their equipment, completely unaware of his arrival. Su Ming glanced around, quickly searching for the core scientist mentioned.
"What are you discussing?" He asked involuntarily, his voice calm, trying not to look nervous.
Several researchers turned their heads, their eyes wary. The young researcher immediately recognized Su Ming and frowned slightly. "Who are you?"
"I'm a newly joined external consultant. I'm here to check on your progress." Su Ming made up an identity, but in his mind he kept recalling the precautions Jiang Ling had mentioned.
"External consultant?" The young researcher frowned, seeming a little skeptical of this unexpected identity. "We haven't heard of you."
"This is my work permit." Su Ming quickly pulled out a forged ID from his pocket and handed it to him. He felt nervous, hoping this little trick would put their guard down.
The researcher took the document and examined it carefully, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Su Ming, sensing a fleeting opportunity, quickly initiated the conversation: "I heard that the experiment you're conducting is about environmental impact research. Could you give me a brief introduction?"
"Well..." The young researcher hesitated, but finally said, "We are trying a new technology, hoping to improve the balance of the ecosystem through different methods."
Su Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to guide the conversation: "It sounds interesting. What kind of technology is it?"
"This is our latest device, which can monitor ecological changes through specific fluctuations," the researcher said excitedly. "If the experiment is successful, we can achieve precise control of the environment."
"I'm looking forward to seeing the results." Su Ming thought to himself, while also observing the surrounding environment, looking for opportunities to obtain more information.
At this time, another researcher spoke up: "If you want to know more, the core scientists are over there." He pointed to the depths of the laboratory, a hint of doubt flashed across his face, as if he was still uneasy about Su Ming's identity.
"Thank you." Su Ming nodded to them and quickly walked in the designated direction. In his heart, he secretly wondered how he would deal with them if they really wanted to hide something.
After passing through several complex machines, Su Ming finally spotted his target. The core scientist was busy with his work, his head bent low. The surrounding test tubes and instruments emitted a faint blue light. Su Ming felt a surge of nervousness; he knew this encounter might change everything.
"Excuse me, are you a doctor?" Su Ming tried to remain calm and spoke in a steady tone.
The scientist looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Yes, who are you? I'm busy."
"I just joined the team and came to learn about your research." Su Ming smiled slightly, trying to make himself look more natural.
"Join the team?" The scientist said with a hint of disdain, "We haven't received any notification from you. You'd better go to the front desk to confirm first."
"Actually, I'm very familiar with your work, especially the research on that new technology." Su Ming didn't dare to neglect it and quickly added, "I know that your recent experimental results are very important and may even affect subsequent developments."
The scientist frowned slightly, seeming to be slightly interested in Su Ming's words. "You understand it very well. Have you actually participated in similar projects?"
"Of course," Su Ming said softly, but in his heart he was praying. In order to protect his identity, he had to convince the scientist to trust him.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside, and several uniformed personnel hurried in. Su Ming's heart tightened. He knew that his identity might have been exposed, and the situation could become critical at any moment.
"What are you doing?" The leading person looked around the laboratory, his tone firm and vigilant.
"We are conducting experiments, there is no problem." Although the scientist's tone was firm, his face looked a little nervous.
"The experiment requires monitoring." They said nothing, their eyes fixed on Su Ming. "Who is this?"
Su Ming was extremely anxious, his face turning slightly pale. He knew that if he continued to stay here, he would be expelled directly, and it might even cause him more trouble.
"He is an external consultant and has just come to understand the situation." The scientist hurriedly explained, trying to excuse Su Ming, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
"External consultant?" The uniformed officer sounded even more skeptical. "What credentials do you have?"
Su Ming's heart tightened. He turned and walked towards the exit, forcing himself to calm down. Even if his identity was exposed, he had to find a way to protect himself.
"Don't let him go!" someone shouted urgently, and Su Ming's heart instantly jumped into his throat. He turned abruptly, grabbed a test tube from behind him, threw it at the person at the door, and then quickly rushed to the side.
"Stop him!" Someone was chasing him. Su Ming was panicked and ran desperately, looking for a place to hide.
The sound of footsteps followed closely, echoing in his ears, becoming increasingly harsh. He quickly turned and entered a laboratory, closed the door, and leaned against the wall, his heart pounding like thunder. His mind was rapidly thinking about the next way out.
"We can't let him escape!" The voice outside gradually faded away, but Su Ming knew that this was only a temporary relief. He had to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise he would face the fate of being arrested.
In the darkened lab, he struggled to control his breathing, his mind racing through the events of the past. Would that scientist be implicated because of his identity? Guilt washed over him, and remembering Jiang Ling's instructions, a tinge of rebellion welled up within him. Could he truly remain so calm?
Under the dim light, he began to move slowly, searching for an escape route. He found a small door in the corner and tentatively pushed it, only to find it was open. With a surge of excitement, he immediately slipped through the door, heading into the unknown with a touch of anticipation and trepidation.
Behind the small door was a narrow corridor, filled with the roar of machinery and the faint sound of operator chatter. Su Ming moved forward cautiously, trying not to make any noise. He knew the next step could be a matter of life or death.
As the corridor stretched out, his mood became more and more nervous. The footsteps gradually faded away. He held his breath and tried to listen to the movements around him. At this moment, he was like a lost deer, wanting to escape but feeling extremely lonely.
"Where should I go?" he wondered, but his thoughts were in turmoil. Several possible choices crossed his mind, but each path seemed to hold unknown dangers.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of light from the corner of his eye, like a ray of dawn, guiding him forward. As he got closer, the door gradually appeared before his eyes, and the sounds around him began to become clearer.
