Chapter 145: What Are These Things?!
The four of them walked around for a while but didn’t find anything. So they just walked to the silver main door on the left.
This door was intact, but there was no electricity here now, not even a backup power supply. So Ke Yajun still had to charge this door.
Now it was Ke Yajun’s time, so the other three sat on the side, planning to eat something and drink some water.
Zhang Can’er took off her glasses and wanted to rub her eyes. After all, after wearing this thing for a long time, she would still be tired.
But as soon as she took them off, she was so scared that her breathing hitched. Even Zhuang Jiayuan, who was next to her and wanted to do the same, was stopped by her.
Her reaction made the other two a little strange, but when they followed her line of sight, they couldn’t see anything.
Zhang Can’er calmed down a little. Seeing that those things had no intention of coming over, she dared to let the two people next to her take off their glasses.
They saw that the entire laboratory was filled with red-glowing eyes. One after another, the light black figures were illuminated by the faint light, looking very strange.
Zhang Can’er looked up and could also see the black shadows hanging upside down from the ceiling. Those pairs of red eyes were staring at her, like ghosts.
If it weren’t for the fact that Zhang Can’er didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, she would have probably been scared out of her wits long ago.
“This… what are these things?!” Zhuang Jiayuan stared with wide eyes, unable to believe the scene in front of her.
Zhang Can’er turned back to look at her, but she couldn’t see the details in the dark, only a rough outline. But she saw that behind Zhuang Jiayuan, there were three pairs of red-glowing eyes. Those light black figures were just standing there quietly, motionless.
But it gave people an invisible pressure. Fear and terror began to spread, and Zhang Can’er’s breathing became rapid.
Wan Feng walked over, held her hand, and said softly, “They’re just phantoms. They’re all fake.”
The gentle voice pulled Zhang Can’er out of the cold and suffocating water. She gasped for breath, her body unable to support itself as she fell into Wan Feng’s embrace.
Zhuang Jiayuan’s situation was not much better. She had long since squatted down, hugging herself into a ball, looking around in a panic, her pair of eyes filled with despair.
Wan Feng knew that she couldn’t wait in this situation. She could only call out to Ke Yajun. Then she helped Zhang Can’er sit on the ground and then helped her put on her glasses.
After her vision brightened up, Zhang Can’er felt much better, and the fear in her heart also dissipated a lot.
Her emotions came and went quickly. After recovering, Zhang Can’er looked at Zhuang Jiayuan.
After hearing Wan Feng’s voice, Ke Yajun stopped what she was doing. When she turned her head, she saw Zhuang Jiayuan squatting. At a glance, the situation was not right.
“Yuan Yuan? Yuan Yuan, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me,” Ke Yajun asked, holding Zhuang Jiayuan in her arms, her voice trembling.
She looked at Wan Feng with a pleading gaze, wanting to ask what was going on. But Zhuang Jiayuan suddenly started to breathe rapidly, gasping for breath.
This scared Ke Yajun to death. She immediately cried out and held her even tighter. “Yuan Yuan… what’s wrong with you? You were fine just now. How did you suddenly become like this? Yuan Yuan, don’t scare me. Say something, okay?”
Zhuang Jiayuan was brought back to her senses a little by her crying. After her memories returned, she tried her best not to look at those red-eyed black shadows, and then buried her head in Ke Yajun’s neck.
“I’m fine. Don’t cry.”
A familiar and gentle voice sounded. Ke Yajun cried even louder. But before her emotions were fully released, the sound of flapping wings and a special chirping sound came over.
Wan Feng quickly led them out of their original positions and used the smooth ground to slide to a distant place.
And Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan’s posture also changed. It became Zhuang Jiayuan comforting Ke Yajun.
But the four of them didn’t dare to speak. They could all roughly guess that those bats were sensitive to sound, so the breathing of the few of them became much lighter.
Seeing those bats circle for a while and then fly away, the four of them dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Be quiet later. I guess these bats were deliberately placed here by those wizards to make sure that anyone who breaks in will never return.”
Wan Feng’s low voice sounded, as if it were laced with ice, making people shiver.
Zhang Can’er rubbed her hands and reminded, “Sister Feng, put away your cold air.”
Wan Feng was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Zhang Can’er was so cold that she was rubbing her hands, she realized that she had unconsciously released some cold air.
“I’m sorry. Is it very cold?”
Wan Feng naturally held Zhang Can’er’s hands and slowly released a warm heat to wrap around her.
“Not really,” Zhang Can’er smiled and leaned against Wan Feng’s embrace with great enjoyment.
After being comforted for a while, Ke Yajun’s mood improved a lot. She asked with a sob, “What exactly happened just now? Why did Yuan Yuan suddenly become like that?”
Wan Feng glanced at her and told her to take off her glasses and take a look.
Ke Yajun did as she was told. Just one glance almost scared her out of her wits. After all, who wouldn’t be scared if a pair of red-glowing eyes suddenly appeared in front of them?
Ke Yajun was quite smart. She immediately put on her glasses, then jumped onto Zhuang Jiayuan, and started to cry again.
Wan Feng didn’t have to think to know that they must be next to those phantoms. The scene they saw after taking off their glasses was quite spectacular.
Zhuang Jiayuan had barely managed to steady herself, but the person on her was constantly drilling into her embrace. In the end, she really couldn’t hold on and chose to sit down.
“Why are you so obedient? I didn’t even have time to stop you,” Zhuang Jiayuan said as she patted Ke Yajun’s back.
“I didn’t know it was this situation either~”
By the time Ke Yajun had recovered, it was already half an hour later.
Zhuang Jiayuan was responsible for comforting her, while Wan Feng and Zhang Can’er were responsible for checking the surroundings and, by the way, thinking of a way to use those instruments to block the main door.
The instruments here were all very tall. And for convenience, wheels were installed at the four corners below. So the two of them also spent some effort.
The commotion here must have attracted those bats. It just so happened that Zhang Can’er wanted to get one back for the Federation to study.
Killing the bats was not too difficult. One Ice Cabbage could freeze most of the bats. But the problem was that after these bats died, they would turn into black liquid and disappear. This made the two of them have a hard time.
So the two of them just threw these things out and then blocked the door with the instruments, thinking of a way later.
When they went back, Ke Yajun had also just recovered. Wan Feng then officially explained the origin of those light black and red eyes.
The internal strife of the Starshine Federation had never stopped. After all, power was something that those high-level officials had always pursued, so they had to fight for everything.
If they couldn’t win, they could only snatch. And if they couldn’t snatch, they could only swallow their anger. As long as they were not dead, there was still hope, and they could still sit in that high position.
After Xiao Huan had sat in this position, the people below, seeing that she was a woman, had underestimated her. Not only did they not snatch anything, but they also lost a lot of things, and even had to cede some things to preserve their status.
