Chapter 969: Chapter 969

Wu Xiaoyu snorted disdainfully and followed Zhou Xiong into the elevator.

Once a few people entered the elevator, Zhou Xiong, Long Ao, Lin Canghai, and Wu Xiaoyu stood with their backs to the elevator doors and showed no intention of turning around.

"Do people in the Dark Group usually ride the elevator ?"

After the elevator started, Tang Ming whispered to Lin Canghai.

Lin Canghai looked at Tang Ming blankly.

Tang Ming laughed awkwardly, deciding to just consider these people as quirky.

As Tang Ming wondered if everyone in the Dark Group was odd, the elevator stopped, and surprisingly, the doors opened right in front of Zhou Xiong and the others.

"Is this really the design?"

Tang Ming turned to look at the door they entered from and couldn’t help but feel intrigued.

"And you still managed to become the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team of the Dark Group without ever having been to headquarters. I wonder how you got the position."

Wu Xiaoyu mocked without turning her head as she stepped out of the elevator.

Tang Ming smirked and began to survey the surroundings.

The glaring silver lights, the walls, and the structures around were all made of silver metallic materials.

After walking a distance, the scene suddenly opened up. Many staff wearing various designs of uniforms busily worked in different rooms, and some fully armed personnel were guarding every corner.

"Tang Xin, this is the core secret base of the Dark Group headquarters, conducting various Dark Group research projects."

Knowing it was Tang Ming’s first time here, Lin Canghai quietly explained as they walked.

"I can tell; it’s really quite advanced."

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly. After glancing around a few times, he realized that the Dark Group’s secret base was indeed remarkable.

There were departments dedicated to high-tech weapon research, biochemical medicine, and some muscular individuals conducting strength experiments...

This place was very similar to high-tech departments in some post-apocalyptic movies.

Zhou Xiong led the way silently while people they encountered along the corridor greeted him, and more curiously observed Tang Ming and the young people with him.

Tang Ming lost track of how far they’d walked, winding through what felt like a maze.

Finally, under Zhou Xiong’s lead, they entered another elevator to continue descending.

"The place we’re headed now is the training lab of the Dark Group. It hosts the most advanced scientific forces in the country and is the best laboratory for training experts in our Dark Group."

After entering the elevator, Zhou Xiong seriously introduced it as the others attentively listened.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, a short-haired woman in a white lab coat with glasses appeared before them.

This woman exuded a strong scholarly vibe. Although she looked decent, her heavy prescription glasses and somewhat sloppy attire deducted her points.

"Doctor Sun, how’s the preparation I asked for coming along?"

Seeing the woman, Zhou Xiong got straight to the point.

"Per Director Zhou’s instructions, all the procedures are set up and just waiting for the personnel to participate in the special training."

Doctor Sun adjusted her glasses, eagerly scanning Long Ao and the others.

As Doctor Sun’s gaze fell upon them, Lin Canghai and Wu Xiaoyu unconsciously backed away.

Tang Ming asked, perplexed, looking at Lin Canghai, who looked timid.

"You don’t know, this woman is the infamous ’demon doctor’ of the Dark Group."

Lin Canghai swallowed nervously and introduced her with apprehension: "She’s a scientific maniac. Although she’s produced many experts for the Dark Group over the years, more people have been wasted in her hands."

Tang Ming looked at Doctor Sun in surprise; her appearance didn’t hint at such madness.

"Very well, I’ll leave them with you now."

Zhou Xiong nodded in satisfaction, speaking through gritted teeth: "These are elites from various families; try to handle them with care."

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I won’t send my test subjects to the hospital lightly."

Doctor Sun nodded repeatedly.

"Ahem, I’ll head upstairs to monitor."

Zhou Xiong stared at Doctor Sun for a long time, deeply skeptical of her words.

"Take care, Director Zhou, I won’t let you down."

Doctor Sun smiled as she graciously saw Zhou Xiong off.

Once the elevator doors closed, Doctor Sun’s facade dropped instantly, coldly sizing up Tang Ming and the others.

Even someone as composed as Long Ao felt a chill under Doctor Sun’s gaze and reluctantly greeted her with faux composure.

"The hell with ’hello.’"

Doctor Sun cursed directly, coldly stating: "Now that you’re here, you’re all my test subjects. Your task is to follow my orders, or I’ll make it very unpleasant for you."

"This... Doctor Sun, we’re here for special training. We have to participate in a grand competition in seven days..."

Wu Xiaoyu stammered an explanation.

"Hmph, I don’t care who you are outside. Once you’re here, you must obey my orders."

Doctor Sun gave a cold snort and said with undeniable authority: "Take off your outer clothes immediately."

Hearing that they had to undress, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Huh what? If you don’t comply, I’ll undress you myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, two nearly two-meter-tall intelligent robots appeared behind Doctor Sun, various modern weapons protruding from their bodies aimed at Tang Ming and the others.

"Wait, wait, I’ll take it off, I’ll take it off."

Seeing this, Long Ao instantly caved and quickly started to undress.

"Hey, what’s going on?"

Tang Ming nudged Lin Canghai, puzzled: "How can this woman be so overbearing; you’re all elite disciples of your families, are you just going to let her bully you?"

Taking off his clothes, Lin Canghai bitterly smiled: "What else can we do? We’re just disciples of our families, but Doctor Sun is the Dark Group’s authority on cutting-edge technology. In these times, technology is power. Even if Doctor Sun killed us all, those above wouldn’t blame her."

Tang Ming skeptically looked at Doctor Sun.

"Kid, what are you staring at? Don’t think your age exempts you. Hurry up and get undressed."

Doctor Sun impatiently urged Tang Ming.

"Hmph, although I’m here for special training, I am very dissatisfied with your attitude..."

Just as Tang Ming started to speak, red dots appeared at various critical points on his body.

Hundreds of firepower points from the two robots directly targeted Tang Ming, far more terrifying than being surrounded by a hundred gunmen.

"I’m taking it off, I’m taking it off."

Tang Ming quickly changed his tune, as his body instinctively responded to the threat.

Typically, if someone aimed a gun at him, his body would alert him to the danger, but now his entire body was on high alert. If they attacked, he might be turned into a sieve, and that was no joke.
