Chapter 641

As the night deepened, the light in the forest became dimmer, but Bai Ye and the soldiers did not stop. They held strong flashlights, and the beams of light shuttled through the dense branches and leaves, opening up a narrow and bright path for the road ahead. The air was filled with the fresh smell of soil and leaves, and the occasional chirping of night birds added a bit of tension and excitement to the adventure.

"Everyone, be careful of your feet. The terrain in this area may be complicated." Bai Ye's voice was steady and powerful, penetrating the silence around, reminding the soldiers to pay attention to safety. Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their pace and moved forward more cautiously.

After walking for about half an hour, the light in front suddenly became brighter, as if something unusual was attracting their attention. Bai Ye quickened his pace and led the soldiers closer to the light. When they finally walked out of the dense forest, the scene in front of them made them stop and stare in amazement.

In an open space, there stood a laboratory that had been abandoned for many years. The outer wall of the laboratory was mottled, and most of the glass windows were broken, with only a few pieces left swaying in the wind. The door was half-closed, as if it was deliberately left as an invitation to intruders. The laboratory was surrounded by weeds and vines, which made it look particularly desolate and mysterious.

"What... is this place?" A soldier asked in surprise, with a tremor in his voice.

"It looks like an abandoned laboratory," Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at the building carefully, "We have to go in and take a look, maybe we can find some useful clues or information."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They carefully walked through the weeds and came to the door of the laboratory. Bai Ye gently pushed open the door, and a musty and stale smell came to his face, making people frown.

The interior of the laboratory was even more messy. Various instruments and test tubes were scattered on the laboratory table, many of which were rusty and lost their former luster. Faded charts and photos were hung on the walls, recording the research content and glorious moments here. However, now all of this has been forgotten in the corner by time and has become the dust of history.

"Everyone, search separately and keep in touch." Bai Ye gave the order, and the soldiers immediately dispersed and began to carefully search every corner of the laboratory.

Bai Ye walked alone to a room deep in the laboratory. This room was tidier than other places, as if someone had deliberately cleaned it. In the center of the room was an old-fashioned desk, on which were scattered several yellowed notebooks and some scattered papers. Bai Ye walked to the desk, gently picked up a notebook, and flipped through it.

The notebook recorded some research data on plant ecology and genetics, as well as some experimental processes and results. The more Bai Ye read, the more shocked he felt. These research contents were not only closely related to their discoveries in the forest, but also revealed many unknown ecological secrets and mysteries of life.

"It seems that this was once a very important research institution," Bai Ye muttered to himself, "We may have found the key to unlocking the secrets of this forest."

Just then, a soldier hurried in and reported nervously: "Bai Ye, we found the entrance to a bunker in the basement!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye immediately put down the notebook in his hand and followed the soldier to the basement. The entrance to the basement is hidden behind a huge laboratory table, and can only be found by careful searching. They opened the heavy iron door, and a cold breath rushed towards them, making people shudder involuntarily.

The interior of the bunker was darker and damper than the laboratory, with only a few emergency lights flashing faintly. They walked along the narrow passage and soon came to a spacious hall. There were several huge machines and equipment in the center of the hall. Although it seemed that they had not been used for a long time, their former power and importance could still be felt.

"Here... what kind of experiments were conducted here?" Bai Ye looked around, full of doubts and curiosity.

The soldiers also gathered around and looked at these machines and equipment carefully. They tried to find some clues from the appearance and nameplates of the equipment, but most of the equipment was too old to identify its specific functions and uses.

At this moment, Bai Ye noticed a huge screen in the corner of the hall. Although the screen was covered with dust and scratches, the outlines of some images and texts could still be vaguely seen. He walked up and gently wiped the surface of the screen, trying to restore its original clarity.

As the dust gradually dissipated, the image on the screen gradually became clear. It was a three-dimensional simulation of the forest ecosystem, showing the interaction between various organisms and the relationship of ecological balance. What was even more surprising was that some unknown species of organisms and ecological phenomena were also marked in the simulation, which were obviously new discoveries made by researchers at the time.

"This... this is incredible!" Bai Ye exclaimed, "The researchers here not only revealed many secrets of the forest, but also discovered many unknown organisms and ecological phenomena. Their contribution is simply huge!"

The soldiers also expressed their agreement and amazement. They realized that this abandoned laboratory and bunker was not just a simple building site, but also a treasure house full of scientific wisdom and the mysteries of life.

In the following time, Bai Ye and the soldiers continued to search for more clues and information in the bunker. They discovered more research notes, experimental data and image materials, which provided valuable material and basis for their exploration and research.

However, as the exploration deepens, they also realize that there may be greater secrets and dangers hidden here. Warning signs and protective facilities on some experimental equipment indicate that some high-risk, perhaps even taboo, experiments have been conducted here. These experiments may touch sensitive points of ecological balance, or explore areas that humans are not yet ready to face.

"Everyone must be careful," Bai Ye's voice echoed in the dim bunker, looking particularly solemn. "We don't know what kind of dangers are hidden here, but we must remain vigilant."

The soldiers nodded in understanding, their eyes scanning the surroundings more cautiously. The air in the bunker seemed to become heavier and heavier, as if you could feel the oppressive atmosphere even when you breathed.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed to a closed iron door not far away and shouted: "Baiye, there is a door there that has not been opened!"

When Bai Ye heard this, he immediately led a few soldiers towards the iron door. The lock on the iron door was rusty, but there seemed to be no sign of damage. Bai Ye signaled the soldiers to step back, and he pushed the iron door hard and found that it didn't move at all.

"It seems that some tools are needed to open it." Bai Ye said, taking out a bunch of master keys from his backpack. After he expertly tried several keys, he finally heard the sound of the lock cylinder turning. The iron door slowly opened, and a colder atmosphere hit the face, making people shiver involuntarily.

Behind the door is a narrow corridor, and there seems to be a faint light coming from the end of the corridor. Bai Ye and the soldiers walked cautiously along the corridor, every step filled with unknowns and tension. When they finally reached the end of the corridor, what they saw shocked them again.

It was a huge underground laboratory, much larger than they had ever seen before. Various advanced instruments and equipment are placed in the center of the laboratory. Although most of them have stopped working, you can still feel how advanced and sophisticated they once were. The walls around the laboratory are covered with various diagrams, photos and models, recording the past research content and results here.

"Here... this is simply a treasure trove of science!" Bai Ye exclaimed, "We may have found the most important discovery in the entire expedition!"

The soldiers also agreed, and they couldn't wait to search every corner of the laboratory. Some found more research notes and experimental data, while others found well-preserved biological samples and specimens. These findings will undoubtedly provide tremendous help and support for their subsequent research.

However, during the exploration process, they also encountered some difficult-to-explain phenomena and mysteries. For example, the temperature in some areas of the laboratory is abnormally low, as if you are in an ice cellar; another example is that some equipment runs on its own without any power supply, making strange sounds.

This laboratory hidden deep underground seems to be an ancient relic forgotten by time, lying quietly in the darkness and silence, waiting to be rediscovered one day. Its complex internal structure and exquisite design all reveal the builder's infinite desire and pursuit of science and the unknown.

The exterior walls of the laboratory are made of heavy reinforced concrete. After years of erosion, the surface has been covered with a thick layer of moss and mold, making it appear mottled and vicissitudes of life. But even so, these walls are still extremely strong, as if they can resist all intrusions and impacts from the outside world. On the wall, there are a few closed windows sparsely distributed. The window frames have long been rusted and deformed, and most of the glass is broken. Only a few fragments are left swaying in the wind, making a slight sound, adding to the quiet space. It feels a bit desolate.

The door of the laboratory is also thick and heavy, made of cold metal, and its surface is covered with traces of time, looking simple and mysterious. The lock on the door has long been rusted, but its design can still be seen to be exquisite and complex. Between the cracks in the door, a faint light came out. It was the light from the emergency lights inside the bunker, swaying in the darkness, leading the explorers forward.

As he opened the door, a cold and damp breath hit his face, making people shiver involuntarily. The space inside the laboratory is unusually spacious, with several dim emergency lights hanging from the high ceiling. The lights are weak and dim, barely able to illuminate the entire space. The surrounding walls were painted a monotonous gray-white color, covered with various mottled marks and scratches, recording the past glory and vicissitudes of this place.

There is a huge experimental table in the center of the laboratory. The tabletop is made of solid solid wood and covered with a thick glass plate to protect the experimental equipment below from damage. There are various instruments and equipment scattered on the experimental table, some of which are rusty and have lost their former luster; others are still in good condition, as if they are ready to meet new experimental tasks at any time. These instruments and equipment are of various types and functions, ranging from microscopes to centrifuges, from petri dishes to gene sequencers, and together they form the core of the laboratory.

The laboratory table is surrounded by dense lockers and bookshelves. The lockers store various reagents, samples and experimental materials; the bookshelves are filled with heavy books, research notes and academic papers. These books and notes record the hard work and wisdom of the laboratory researchers. They have conducted countless experiments here, explored countless unknown fields, and contributed their own strength to the scientific progress of mankind.

In addition to the laboratory table and lockers, there are also multiple independent experimental areas and studios inside the laboratory. These areas are divided into independent spaces, each of which is equipped with special instruments and equipment to meet the needs of different experiments. Some areas focus on the research of gene editing and bioengineering; some areas are dedicated to the research of ecological simulation and environmental protection. Each area is full of a strong scientific atmosphere and rigorous research spirit, which makes people involuntarily immersed in it.

At the end of the laboratory, there is also a mysterious secret room hidden. The entrance to the secret room is blocked by a heavy stone door. The stone door is engraved with complex patterns and symbols, as if it contains some mysterious power. The stone door is closed and can only be opened through a specific mechanism.

"These phenomena... these phenomena seem to be beyond our understanding." A soldier said in a trembling voice, "We... what should we do?"

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said: "No matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter, we can't give up. This is our opportunity and our responsibility. We must continue to explore and uncover all the secrets here."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They knew that this expedition was not only to satisfy curiosity and thirst for knowledge, but also for the future of mankind and the ecological balance of the earth. They must bravely face all the unknowns and challenges and bring more light and hope to this world.

In the following time, Bai Ye and the soldiers continued to explore the underground laboratory in depth. They found some amazing research materials on gene editing, ecological simulation and bioengineering. These studies not only reveal the mysteries and potential of life, but also reveal the huge risks and challenges that humans may face.

"We must bring these materials back to the base," Bai Ye said firmly, "They are of great significance to our scientific research and ecological protection work."

The soldiers agreed and began to sort out these precious materials. They carefully sorted and packed the notes, data, and samples to ensure that they would not be damaged during transportation.

However, just as they were about to leave the laboratory, a sudden tremor occurred.
