Chapter 22: Infiltrating the Institute
Both of them are reincarnators who don't like to be constrained, so they haven't joined any team until now.
However, as the tasks of the Endless World became more and more difficult, they gradually felt the powerlessness of one person, but it was obviously unrealistic for them to join Lin Xuan's team immediately.
"You can think about it, you don't have to answer me right away." Seeing that the two of them were silent, Lin Xuan also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, so he hurriedly said.
"Okay, let me think about it again." After listening to Lin Xuan's words, the bear nodded and said.
"I'm going to think about it too......"
"Okay, you guys think about it slowly, let's go to the Central Library for now." There was still a lot of time, and Lin Xuan was not in a hurry, and said to the two.
"Why go to the library? Aren't we going to that prison? Xiao Lan asked a little puzzled, after following Lin Xuan for a long time, she didn't like to think about problems very much, but habitually asked Lin Xuan.
"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, we are not very familiar with this world, and it is always not wrong to collect more information."
On this trip to the library, Lin Xuan had only one goal, which was to investigate the relevant information of the Fifth Research Institute.
Although the other party was talking about preventing them from approaching the Second Prison, after learning about some of the circumstances, the architectural structure diagram obtained from Fang Xin naturally appeared in Lin Xuan's mind.
Naturally, he would not fall for the other party's tricks, and in his heart, the really suspicious place was the Fifth Research Institute, which had long been abandoned next to the second prison!
And when Lin Xuan and the three of them were consulting materials in the Central Library, the headquarters was ......
"What did you say!? The two Edward brothers went to the Fifth Institute? Not to let anyone get close to that side is also an order from the great president? Colonel Roy asked, looking at Lisa with some surprise.
"That's right, and this was handed over to me by Second Lieutenant Lin Xuan last night." As she spoke, Lisa took out the architectural structure diagram of the Fifth Research Institute that she had obtained from Lin Xuan last night.
"Huh? This is...... Architectural drawings of the Fifth Research Institute? At this moment, Lisa had already marked the location on the drawing, and attached a comparison map of the original Fifth Research Institute, so Roy recognized it at a glance.
"Yes, I heard him get it from an outlaw who betrayed the country." Lisa said with a serious face.
"It's been a mess lately...... Roy sighed, "First the scarred man who specialized in attacking the national alchemists, and now the Fifth Research Institute?" ”
Roy put away the drawings and said to Lieutenant Lisa, "Okay, it's okay, you go to work, I'll be quiet alone for a while." ”
After seeing Lisa out of the room, Colonel Roy muttered, "Looks like I'm going to have to do it myself......"
In the library, Lin Xuan found the information about the Fifth Research Institute as he wished, but he got very little information.
According to the sources, in the early days, there were five research institutes in Chuo City, which were used to study the effects of synths on warfare.
At the beginning, an alchemist once proposed that if you can rely on alchemy to refine synthetic beasts that are not afraid of bullets and can listen to people and attack others, then the situation of the war will be one-sided.
After many years of research, it failed completely, and the alchemist was nowhere to be found, and now the five institutes were basically equivalent to warehouses, and occasionally some alchemists entered to study their own hidden subjects.
Judging by the data, there is nothing suspicious about this fifth research institute.
"How?" Seeing Lin Xuan close the book and sigh, Xiao Lan hurriedly asked.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "There is no information available on the information, what is the specific situation over there, you can only go over there and confirm it in person." ”
After confirming that no one was following behind them, Lin Xuan and the three of them came to the vicinity of the Fifth Research Institute together.
"It's obviously an abandoned research institute, but it's heavily guarded, so it seems that this time it's really right." Lin Xuan muttered. I saw two guards guarding in front of the research institute, and it was obviously impossible to enter from the front.
"What should we do next?" Under Lin Xuan's explanation, the two also knew that the target of this trip was the Fifth Research Institute next to the Second Prison, and at this moment, seeing that there were guards guarding in front of the main gate, the bear asked Lin Xuan.
"Since we can't go through the main gate, let's go somewhere else, it's not difficult for you to climb over the wall, right?"
Although he saw that the wall of the research institute was several meters high, the bear still nodded affirmatively and said, "I can throw you up, and then put down the rope, you still have the rope, right?" ”
"Of course." Lin Xuan said proudly, not only the mountaineering rope, but also some necessary tools and food for survival in the wilderness were all packed into the storage space by him.
"Puff ......" A slight landing sound sounded, and Lin Xuan was successfully thrown into the research institute by the bear, because his physical fitness was beyond ordinary people, so jumping from such a height did not cause him any harm.
After first observing the surroundings and finding that there were no guards in the research institute, Lin Xuan pulled the long rope in his hand.
After getting the signal, Bear and Xiaolan climbed over the wall and entered the research institute.
"It's also blocked here......" Lin Xuan glanced at the gate that entered the research institute, it had been nailed by the wooden plank at the moment, if they wanted not to alarm the guards to enter the research institute, they could only find another way.
"Lin Xuan, come and take a look here." Suddenly, Xiao Lan seemed to have discovered something and called Lin Xuan.
"Doors? How can there be a door in this wall? When the bear saw the anomaly on the wall, he couldn't help but say out loud.
At this moment, Lin Xuan also saw a steel gate appear on the wall of the research institute, and said thoughtfully: "This should be a door made by alchemy, it is estimated that someone has already gone before us." ”
"So what do we do?" Hearing that someone was one step ahead of them, Xiao Lan asked with some hesitation, no one knew if the enemy trap was waiting for them ahead.
"Since you've come here, there's no reason not to enter." Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and took the lead in pushing open the door and walking in.
Seeing that Lin Xuan, as an elder with special spiritual power, was the first to open the way, Xiao Lan and Bear glanced at each other and followed in with a wry smile.
Lin Xuan's move was not because of recklessness, but because he had the path-finding skill of spiritual power scanning. Before entering the research institute, he had already turned on the mental power scan, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he push the door in.
Walking in the dim and damp research institute, judging by the thickness of the dust on the ground, no one has used it for at least a long time, and it is indeed an abandoned research institute.
"Why haven't you found anything after searching for so long?" Xiaolan complained, she really didn't want to stay in this kind of dark and damp place, not to mention that she didn't even see a figure after looking for such a circle.
"Shh......h
"The footprints are gone here." Lin Xuan muttered, due to the dust accumulated on the ground, he could clearly see the footprints left by the other party's advance, but when the footprints came all the way here, those footprints disappeared abruptly.
"It's not as mysterious as you say, is it? Could it be that the other party is still a ghost? After hearing Lin Xuan's words, the bear complained.
"No...... No, there is a passage behind this wall. After the spiritual power passed through the wall, Lin Xuan found that there was actually a passage to the underground hidden behind the wall.
"How is this possible?" Bear said with some consternation, although he was separated from Lin Xuan at that time and did a one-day mission in the headquarters, he still had too little contact with alchemists, and obviously did not know as much as Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan glanced at the bear and said, "In this world, alchemy can make the impossible possible, whether it is refining into a door or a wall, which is easy for a slightly more powerful alchemist. ”
"But even if there's a passage behind the wall, how are we going to get in? If you explode, you'll attract guards, right? Xiaolan asked suspiciously.
"This is indeed a problem, this wall seems to be quite ......thick," Lin Xuan said.
At this moment, a road is placed in front of everyone's eyes, but they can't get in, what a painful thing.
After searching for all the methods, Lin Xuan found that there was only one way not to alarm others, and that was the constricted explosive bomb generated by the bomb manufacturing factory.
"I had to give it a try...... although the probability of being able to successfully create a shrinking explosion type is really not high, but Lin Xuan has no other way, and at this moment he can only fight for his character.
"You have obtained the impact type x2, the timed type x2, the incendiary type x1, the iron wall type x1......" made six bombs in a row, but he didn't see a single shrinking explosion, Lin Xuan couldn't help frowning.
"I really shouldn't have come, but I shouldn't have come, but there were a bunch of them." Lin Xuan sighed, although the bomb is easy to use, every time the bomb is made, it is random, and he often falls into the dilemma of not being able to get the bomb he wants.
"There are still two ......" manufacturing factories can make eight bombs, and at this moment six have been made, Lin Xuan can only pin his hopes on the last two bombs.
"You've gained Percussive x1"
“……”
"You have Shrink Burst x1"
"It's finally here!" This time, Lady Luck obviously didn't abandon Lin Xuan, and when he made the last bomb, the shrinkage explosion finally appeared!
"Stay away, all of you." Picking up the hemispherical detonation type, Lin Xuan pressed the start button and adsorbed it on the wall.
