There was no one in the room with the lights on, and everyone gathered in the control room with the lights off...

What exactly does this mean?

Lu Ming didn't know.

He couldn't be sure whether most of the people studying at this moment were gathered here just because they had some projects to do, and whether the lack of lights in the room was just due to some kind of need - such as some optical needs. After all,

This is an optical research institute, and no one is speaking at this moment just because there is no need to speak.

Or...is there really something weird?

Lu Ming couldn't be sure just through remote observation with drones. At the same time, because of some concerns, Lu Ming couldn't send people to sneak into the research institute for on-the-spot observation.

He was afraid of alerting the enemy - if the people in the institute were really enemies at this moment.

Time passed bit by bit, and at this moment, it was completely dark. The lights in Nancheng City in the distance were already lit, and they were clearly visible in the dark night sky.

At this moment, there were countless people enjoying their rare leisure time. Lu Ming could even imagine that the food street where all kinds of delicacies gathered would be crowded with people.

Buddies drinking and chatting, couples on dates, best friends at parties, couples with children...

Every store is probably full, and people are even starting to queue up.

Major shopping malls should be equally crowded with people, and the roads are busy with traffic...

This is a city with a population of more than 900,000. Although it is not ranked high among human civilizations, in terms of absolute size, it is still not small.

It carries hundreds of thousands of lives, hundreds of thousands of lives, hundreds of thousands of laughter and tears.

There was more sweat on Lu Ming's forehead.

Time passes bit by bit. With every second that passes, the risk hidden in the dark increases.

Zhang Dingshan frowned slightly and looked at Lu Ming: "Let He Wei sneak in directly to investigate?"

"No, no." Lu Ming shook his sweaty head slightly: "If the people in the Laser Research Institute have become monsters - or in other words, they are just monsters that still maintain human appearance, once they are alerted

, if they flee in all directions, there are too few people in He Wei to stop them."

"Then mobilize the garrison and surround the research institute! The field army has not withdrawn yet!"

Lu Ming looked at the map.

If we want to complete the encirclement without alerting the internal personnel of the institute, the encirclement must be greatly expanded. And this is a mountainous area with complex terrain and lush jungles.

To complete the siege, it would take more than a few thousand men. However, the mobilization of several thousand men would take too long...

I'm afraid there's not enough time...

"Let's notify the garrison first, but it shouldn't be too late. Be careful, you must march in a concealed manner, and don't alert them..."

Zhang Dingshan took out his phone and called directly.

Lu Ming once again focused his attention on the screen captured by the drone.

He saw that at this moment, in the control room of the Laser Research Institute with the lights out, besides the sound of typing on the keyboard, there was finally other movement.

With a creak, the door was pushed open. The sound of thumping footsteps was heard, and under the low-light camera, a monster with a small pointy head and a body covered with ferocious bone spurs walked over carrying an iron plate.

monster?

monster!

Lu Ming's whole body was filled with excitement.

The next moment, a scene that made him even more horrified appeared.

The monster walked and stood behind a researcher who was typing on the keyboard. The researcher turned around, stretched out his hand, plucked out one of his own eyeballs and put it on a plate.

After that, he turned around again and started typing on the keyboard, and the monster came behind the next person carrying an iron plate.
Chapter completed!
