Chapter 821 The Underground Palace
While explaining the logic to Benjamin, Natalie turned around and shot daggers at the giant doll behind her.
Does King think he’s God, who can easily manipulate people with a prank like this?
Does he think he can stir up fear in our minds and force us to fend for ourselves?
Struck dumb, Benjamin stood still and stared at Natalie. Had he not entered this secret chamber with this woman, he would have gone bonkers when he heard the beta waves.
“You’re an incredible woman, Natalie, so much more incredible than I imagined.”
“Oh,” Natalie responded casually and started walking on the walkway.
The tunnel-like walkway was in total darkness.
But when Natalie stepped on the walkway, the path instantly brightened up.
A cold white light illuminated the entire walkway, causing the enclosed space to emit a strange vibe.
Natalie studied the space closely and noticed that cables, which gave out lights, were in use.
If these cables were all connected to some lab equipment, the underground base might be a futuristic palace-like underground research chamber.
Natalie and Benjamin would not have believed it had they not witnessed this with their eyes. Never did they expect this kind of facility to exist in the country!
“This is Blaze.” Benjamin gritted his teeth. “These people would utilize the state-of-the-art technologies to commit the vilest deeds!”
“Let’s look for the antidote first. We’ll talk about the next course of action later.”
Natalie, too, hated Blaze to the bone.
But she would not allow her hatred to cloud her thoughts, as she was determined to attain her ultimate goal.
“Come on. Let’s go.”
The three-hundred-foot walkway was built along a slope. Although Natalie was walking downhill, she did not feel uncomfortable as a proper ventilation system was installed along the passage.
When she reached the end of the walkway, she keyed in the password Yara had left behind and managed to access the other side of the enclosed space.
Natalie could not believe her eyes when she stepped into the realm ahead of her.
The underground chamber was nothing like a palace. On the contrary, it was a living hell.
The entire underground base was about sixty-six foot tall. The building housed rows and rows of machines that ran at full capacity. Each of them contained liquids that came in different colors.
Natalie and Benjamin found specimens of different animals soaked in the transparent liquid. These specimens bobbed up and down in the machines as if they were still alive.
Natalie could not help but feel disgusted by what she saw.
The diary that Yara had left behind contained the floor plan of the entire underground base and the exact spot where she stored the most important drugs.
Natalie and Benjamin explored the premises according to the markers Yara wrote in the diary and did not encounter any problems.
When Natalie was about to enter the central pharmacy, she heard an elderly man’s voice from behind. “Ms. Yara? What brings you here today?”
Natalie instantly knew the people in the base had mistaken her for Yara. She turned around and played along. “I came to check on the progress.”
Clad in a white robe, the man, probably in his seventies, had a full head of gray hair and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Standing beside him was a mild-mannered young man who seemed to be in his twenties. But somehow, there was a cunning look on his face.
“Ah, okay.” Ranzoph, also known as Professor Vangleland, grinned like a cheeky teenager. “We’ll be able to give you the results soon! Once we can alter the genes of a newborn, we should be able to subtitle the child with any genes that we want!”
Natalie sized up the elderly man. This man might seem a little eccentric, but there’s nothing unusual about him.
“All right then. Good luck!”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Yara. I’ll complete the experiment as soon as possible. We should be able to bless the world with this technology in no time!”
His remark rendered Natalie speechless.
She had no idea what Blaze told this professor, but the outcome of his lab experiment would definitely not benefit the entire human race.
Natalie did not want to waste time talking to the professor as she needed to find the antidote as soon as possible. “I’ll attend your briefing next time. I need to go to the central pharmacy now.”
