Chapter 311


    Chapter 311 Finding the Antidote


    Noah''s finger was on the light switch. He was hesitating about his next move.


    The people cleaning up the operating table earlier opened the white sacks and carried the people


    inside to the tables.


    Some of the people were turning conscious. They started to struggle.


    However, their limbs were strapped tightly to the operating table, and there was no way they could free


    themselves.


    The blue-eyed Uranican whistled a happy tune while walking toward them with a scalpel.


    "No, no! Please let us go! I beg you!"


    "Help! Help me!"


    The inhumane experiments that were about to take ce were a stark contrast to the masquerade ball


    that was happening on the surface.


    That was why Trenton''sboratory was the world''s most advanced!


    "Why are you still standing there? Come over here and help me!" The Uranican red at Noah.


    Obediently, Noah walked toward him. Halfway there, the lights in theboratory suddenly went out.


    The Uranican researcher felt a gust of wind blow past him. Then, he heard a series of metal clicks,


    which shocked him greatly.


    That was the sound of the shackles that restrained the b rats" unfastening themselves.


    The researcher was in a panic. He tried to run toward the exit but soon felt something sharp plunge into


    his flesh.


    Theboratory was in chaos. Noah quickly left the ce and went to the tenth basement floor of the


    undergroundplex.


    Madeline''s antidote was kept there. He had to obtain it.


    Of course, it was not going to be easy.


    As soon as the lights were cut off, rm bells began to ring. The b rats" surged toward the exit, but


    they did not realize the corridor was protected by infrared sensors. Those in front soon copsed on the


    floor, their bodies riddled with bullet holes.


    The people at the back dared not take another step forward.


    Suddenly, a man with disheveled hair began to shuffle down the corridor in an awkward manner.


    "Please, don''t leave us here!" The other people looked at him pleadingly.


    The man turned around and red at them coldly. "Stand there and don''t move."


    After that, he walked away. A whileter, all the infrared sensors in the corridor were deactivated. The


    man came back to lead the other escapees away.


    Back at the masquerade ball, a group of people was surrounding the old man showering him with


    ttery. The bodyguard next to him bent down and whispered something into his ear.


    The old man''s face turned pale all of a sudden and ordered the bodyguard to wheel him to the


    undergroundboratory.


    "Show me the cameras!" he yelled angrily while mming the armrests of the wheelchair.


    The bodyguard turned on aptop and ced it on hisp. Theboratory was pitch-ck. All he could


    see were red blobs of energy with the thermal camera.


    It was utter chaos inside.


    "Why isn''t the power back on yet?" The old man was visibly enraged, and the bodyguards dared not


    make a sound.


    "Someone hacked into ourwork."


    "Useless! All of you! If you don''t get the power back in three minutes, you''ll be the next batch ofb


    rats!" the old man said sternly while his gaze swept over the bodyguards.


    The bodyguards knew very well the fate of theb rats. They shuddered in fear.


    With the looming threat right behind them, the bodyguards worked fast to restore the power and


    managed to do so in three minutes.


    All the escapees were subdued and returned, except for the man with disheveled hair.


    "We''re missing one of them, Lord." A bodyguard handed the missing escapee''s profile to show the old


    man.


    The old man''s expression sank when he saw that the missing man was a veteran of the army and had


    fought a major war.


    He suspected that the man was here for revenge.


    "Find him! No matter what it takes!" the old man said through gritted teeth. That was thest order he


    received. If he failed his mission, he would not die a peaceful death.


    There were more booby traps on the tenth basement floor than in the previous nine. Perhaps it was


    because the important antidote was kept there.


    By the time Noah reached the safe that held the antidote, he was already burdened with multiple


    injuries.


    However, he had to press on. He wore a transparent finger glove over his thumb and pressed the


    fingerprint lock.


    As soon as his finger touched the lock, the rm in theboratory began to ring.


    At the same time, the old man in the wheelchair received thetest updates from his subordinate.


    "Intruder on the tenth floor. It''s not that ''rat.''"


    It meant that there was another intruder.


    Sweat drenched the old man''s back. He had a bad feeling about this. "Secure all exits. We must


    capture that intruder dead or alive."

    Groups of bodyguards made their way down to the tenth floor of the undergroundboratory, but Noah


    had not seeded in opening the safe yet.


    He thought of carrying the entire safe with him, but the safe was welded firmly to the wall.


    Suddenly, he sensed a dangerous presence near him.


    Noah immediately turned around and assumed a defensive pose. He saw a man with disheveled hair


    standing in front of him. Quite obviously, the man was brought to theboratory in a white sack.


    "Die!" The man''s words were filled with murderous intent.


    Noah half-heartedly parried a few attacks, but he was stabbed in the abdomen by a knife anyway.


    "Have a taste of your own virus!" the man said.


    Noah nced at his wound, then at the man. He hastily took off his protective suit and exined, "I


    don''t work here. I''m here to take something that can save my wife''s life. I cut off the power in theb


    earlier!"


    The man was surprised to hear that. He nced at Noah suspiciously beforeughing maniacally. "I


    don''t care who you are. You''re not going to leave this ce alive!"


    "What do you want?" Seeing the man retrieve a lighter from his pocket, Noah eximed and dashed


    forward to snatch it.


    The man was a formidable fighter. Moreover, Noah was badly injured, which put him at a disadvantage.


    "Do you think I''d believe what you say, you animal?"


    The man lifted his foot and wanted to stomp Noah on his chest. Noah lifted his hands to block the


    attack, and a photo fell out of his sleeve. It was a photo of Madeline and the three children that Noah


    had secretly taken.


    Noah had deliberately dropped the photo. While the man was taken aback, Noah shoved him aside


    and stumbled some distance away from him.


    "Mr. Noah Quincy?" The man opened his eyes wide in surprise.


    "If you know who I am, we should leave this ce soon." Under such critical circumstances, Noah was


    not going to ask how that man recognized him.


    "What do you want from here?" The man shot a nce at the safe.


    Noah was delighted. "Can you open it?"


    He pointed at the safe that kept Madeline''s antidote while handing the man the necessary fingerprints.


    The man wore the fingerprint sleeve and tapped on the keypad several times. Soon, the safe was


    unlocked.


    Noah took the only test tube in the safe and kept it close to him. Just when he was about to ask if the


    man could open the other safes, they heard the sound of bodyguards from outside.


    "Let''s go!" Noah took the man''s hand and ran toward the exit.
