Chapter 1504: Chapter 1504: If One Strategy Fails, There’s Another

As Organization X was excavating this place back then, in order to cover up the secret, they planned to eliminate all the participants involved.

And these people knew what fate awaited them once the project was completed, so they secretly dug a few hidden tunnels during the construction, which was more or less what Xue Yin had described.

But this secret passage only leads to Experimental Zone No.1 from another direction. If you want to leave the underground laboratory, you still have to take the only elevator.

With the situation being urgent, there was no time to worry about that, so the three of them immediately headed to that secret passage following Ao Sai’s map, and then toward Experimental Zone No.1.

Gu Fan thought for a moment and then decided to have Li Shi wait in Experimental Zone No.1, as he and Lin Xi needed to go back and find Su Hui; after all, they couldn’t leave any companion behind.

Li Shi, knowing that her own skills wouldn’t be of much help, didn’t object. However, the idea of staying alone made her somewhat scared.

Gu Fan didn’t know that since Li Shi entered Dark City, numerous vampires and members of the Xue Clan had been wanting to take a bite of Li Shi’s neck.

Now, people from Organization X would definitely be heading continuously to Experimental Zone No.2, so they wouldn’t bother with the corners of Experimental Zone No.1. In theory, Li Shi should be safe.

To be on the safe side, Gu Fan gave Li Shi a blue reagent, to be drunk in case of danger.

Li Shi looked at the blue reagent in her hand, then at Gu Fan and Lin Xi who were about to leave. The dark surroundings made her even more afraid. She wanted to say something to make Gu Fan stay, but in the blink of an eye, Gu Fan and Lin Xi had disappeared into the darkness.

"What should I do, I don’t want to stay here alone," murmured Li Shi, curling up in a corner and praying over and over again, hoping to escape safely.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came, startling Li Shi. She felt something coming towards her and clearly knew where she was.

In the Tower of Darkness, Xue Wang, Lord Xiong, Mo Yun, Zhuo Hang, Xue Ba, and Lie Kong had learned that Experimental Zone No.2 had been breached. However, because Experimental Zone No.2 was too vast, they had no idea where the equipment for perfect eternal life was located.

Lie Kong was a bit puzzled and asked, "Since Organization X has controlled that spaceship for thousands of years, don’t they know what’s inside?"

Xue Wang explained that every room and every door on that ancient spaceship, built by the Super Civilization, was tightly sealed, making it very tough to breach.

"Although it’s tough to breach, we did breach the main gate this time," Zhuo Hang frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

Xue Wang nodded, "I’m also surprised. Why could Gu Fan easily get in, whereas we couldn’t? Why did we exhaust all our means previously and failed to break in, but this time we could?"

Xue Ba, being the most impatient, volunteered to lead more subordinates into the spaceship.

Thus Xue Wang decided to divide their forces into three groups: the first group led by Xue Ba to head to the underground laboratory, followed by Xue Wang and Lord Xiong.

The second group, led by Mo Yun, would defend the Tower of Darkness.

The third group, led by Zhuo Hang and Lie Kong, would stand guard outside, fending off the attacks from the big bosses, hunters, and Qian Feng.

Organization X started to move according to Xue Wang’s deployment, the first group heading towards the underground laboratory in batches using the elevator.

After a series of battles, Organization X only had a little over five hundred regular vampires left, and even the most elite vampire warriors numbered less than two thousand, with the Xue Clan suffering losses of over ten members as well.

Organization X had never experienced such massive losses before, which caused Xue Wang’s heart to bleed. It took so much time and effort to achieve what the organization had till now, and yet it had been destroyed to such an extent by Gu Fan and his companions.

However, when Xue Wang saw the device that could grant perfect eternal life, he knew that once he had that device, all previous losses could be ignored. That was what Organization X truly sought after.

Now, a thousand vampire warriors had already entered Experimental Zone No.2, initiating a comprehensive search, with Xue Ba taking the lead at the very front.

It was finally time for Xue Wang and Lord Xiong to set off. Xue Wang was both nervous and excited; he very much wanted that device.

Although it was suggested that he shouldn’t go in person and that commanding from the Tower of Darkness would be safer, Xue Wang didn’t want to miss this opportunity, and besides, he had Lord Xiong accompanying him, which gave him confidence.

As the elevator descended, Xue Wang and the other vampires were invigorated, as if ready to fight a glorious battle.

When the elevator doors opened, the subordinates rushed out to clear the way first, then Xue Wang and Lord Xiong walked out together, with many people guarding along the path to ensure it was clear and unobstructed.

Xue Wang and Lord Xiong quickly arrived at the entrance of Experimental Zone No.2. They saw the breached door and found that although it had been blasted open, there were no obvious signs of severe damage.

Xue Wang frowned and asked, "Lord Xiong, what do you think?"

Lord Xiong appeared pessimistic, saying, "My feeling is that this door wasn’t forced open by brute strength, but was deliberately opened to let us in."

"If it’s a trap, then it’s either Gu Fan or that mysterious masked person behind it." Xue Wang had not stepped into Experimental Zone No.2 yet, his excitement gradually replaced by unease.

Lord Xiong suggested to hold off advancing rashly, to first see how Xue Ba would fare.

If Xue Ba could handle it, then there would be no need for Xue Wang to go himself. If Xue Ba stepped into a trap, it would guide Xue Wang on which direction to take.

"Please, Lord Xiong," Xue Wang knew his greatest reliance against unknown powers was Lord Xiong. There was no helping it, after all, who else had eternal life?

Lord Xiong furrowed his brow: "Xue Wang, if Gu Fan and the mysterious masked person were originally together or have just now come to an agreement to deal with us, how should we respond?"

"This is what worries me too." Xue Wang truly didn’t dare underestimate Gu Fan anymore, even starting to overestimate him. He couldn’t help it; he had suffered too many setbacks from Gu Fan.

That said, considering that Gu Fan had so many companions in the hands of Organization X, Xue Wang believed that even as cunning as Gu Fan was, he wouldn’t risk the lives of so many companions.

Lord Xiong also felt that Gu Fan would have a hard time playing tricks this time, given that so many companions were being held separately. Whatever Gu Fan did, he wouldn’t be able to rescue all his companions at the same time.

"Unless Gu Fan is confident enough to capture you, Xue Wang, as a hostage to exchange for everyone," Lord Xiong thought this was also unlikely. Not to mention Xue Wang’s strength, there were a thousand vampire warriors around—how could Gu Fan possibly get close to Xue Wang?

However, what Xue Wang didn’t know was that another plan to rescue Gu Fan had been devised by Su Hui, Lin Xi, and the others, and it was about to commence.
