Connor chuckled disdainfully and was a little speechless.“Sebastian stole someone else’s achievements and connections. Now, he even stole our design?”Seeing Nicole’s puzzled look, Leighton explained, “This laboratory is practically the same as our research institute. The entrance and the location of the anatomy room and exhibition hall are the same as our research institute.”Nicole froze in shock.“Then you guys will be familiar with the lab, right?”“Of course. I can go around with my eyes closed. It looks like today’s operation will go smoothly.”Connor raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound, but he looked much more relaxed.Not long after, someone came over and said something to Leighton, who nodded and looked at Connor.“We’re there. We can go in.”Connor glanced at Nicole.“Ms. Stanton?”Nicole smiled, stood up, and glanced at Luca, who was also ready.Several people got into the elevator.The elevator was very spacious, enough to accommodate nearly thirty pe
Luca asked, “So what are we looking for here?”“We’re looking for someone.”Nicole kept silent and spoke.Regardless of whether the person she was looking for was there or not, Nicole was sure that every corridor and room on this ship was connected.If it was connected, there must be a way to enter and exit.That would be much safer than searching out in the open.This was what Connor told her before he left.Otherwise, Nicole would not have been so sure. If she started from here, she might even meet Connor and the others soon.Luca paused and did not continue to ask.However, he looked around and became more vigilant.Nicole looked at the reflective place. It was a wall that looked like it was made of glass, but it did not look thick enough to be a wall.She stood there and felt her heart beating faster.Afterward, she pushed the glass. Sure enough, the glass door opened.It was quiet all around.Even the white noise from the sea outside seemed to be amplified countless
However, Jeff calmed down quickly.His panic faded.He could even raise his eyes to meet Nicole’s cold gaze and calmly said, “I’ve turned it down because I don’t want to die on the operating table.”Nicole suddenly felt like crying. Her eyes were sore as if an electric current passed through, which almost made her lose control.Suddenly, the phone rang.Jeff paused and took out his phone. Sebastian’s panicked voice came through, “Bro, it’s bad! Connor Upton’s people barged in and raided the place. They’re trying to arrest me. Will you help me think of a way? I can’t get arrested! My career is just beginning, and I can change the history of humankind!”Sebastian’s voice was unstable as he was probably running to escape.It looked like Connor and Leighton already surrounded the place.However, Sebastian brought this onto himself.Sebastian designed the undersea laboratory to be exactly the same as the research institute. Thus, it was a great convenience for Leighton and Connor.
Abel’s attitude was completely different from when they were in the lounge earlier.Perhaps Abel never wanted to follow Jeff since the beginning.Even if Sebastian could not protect him, he was still better than a weird cripple like Jeff.What was more, the situation was still unclear because they did not know what was going on outside.How could Nicole and Luca ruin Sebastian’s career so easily?Abel was not a fool.If he did not do something at this time, he did not know how he would explain it to Sebastian later.Nicole did not dare to move for fear that Abel would accidentally pull the trigger.People like Abel who carried weapons with them abroad disregarded human life, so Nicole did not dare to test his limits.Just as Luca was about to come over, Nicole winked at him.Thus, Luca stood there dumbfoundedly and stared at Abel coldly.Luca was on guard as if he was ready to attack.Jeff was the closest to Abel.However, it was a pity that he could not even stand up, let
The research laboratories on the shore also had self-destruction systems.It was a fail-safe in case others wanted to steal their research to do dangerous things. Thus, destroying the laboratory was better.However, they also had rules for that. If it was not a war, then this system should never be activated.Connor did not expect that Sebastian would also steal this system from them.Sebastian’s undersea laboratory was basically a replica of the laboratory on shore.However, this self-destruction device was not placed somewhere that Connor was familiar with.Connor immediately realized that Sebastian was planning to destroy all the evidence.If that were the case, no one would be able to find this place and see the gory truth.Everyone instantly became alert.Connor was a step too late. When he entered the room, he saw Sebastian standing there with a pale but distorted face. Sebastian had a reckless, cruel, and resentful smile on his face.“Don’t think that you guys can leav
The countdown timer finally came to an abrupt end.That one minute felt like it was taking so long, but at the same time, it also felt very short.In the last few seconds, the ticking timer seemed to drag on infinitely.It sounded like an air defense siren that pierced through the depths of the sea.Nicole’s nervous heart calmed down instantly.The man she loved was by her side, so why should she be afraid of death?How could she ignore everything and leave him behind?Nicole squeezed his hand.Before she could say a word, she heard the explosion.The explosion almost shattered her eardrums, and it seemed to engulf everything in an instant.It was cold and indifferent.At that moment, Nicole felt the impact of the shockwave and was pushed outward.In this deep sea, their lives seemed insignificant.The fish on the other side of the glass was soon shaken by the strong shockwave. The seawater swept over and destroyed everything in its path.All the lights around them went o
Kai came into the room and waved his hand in front of Nicole’s face.“Do you remember me?”He heard that Nicole was badly concussed, so he was afraid that she would become a fool.That was what Kai had been worried about.Nicole blinked. “No…”Kai’s face turned pale. “Leighton…”Leighton coughed and came in.“I see you can’t take a joke, huh?”Kai was taken aback.He suddenly realized that Leighton was making fun of him.Kai looked at Nicole’s face again only to see her sly smile that was not one bit confused or unfamiliar.He suddenly realized that he had been pranked.That little liar!“If you weren’t still on that hospital bed, I would’ve beaten you up!”Kai spoke harshly.Eric said calmly on the side. “Kai has been worried about you. You’re lucky that you can wake up again.”Nicole smiled and suddenly thought of something.“Where’s Luca?”Kai pursed his lips. “Luca is fine. He just has some superficial wounds and a lung infection. You guys are really lucky. More t
The panic caused by the earthquake had not completely disappeared.Therefore, neither Eric nor anyone could replace Clayton’s existence.Kai was still thinking about what Nicole said just now.He felt like he was hit in the head and could not react for a long time.“Are you mistaken just like Chatty?”How could Jeff be Clayton?They had no similarities at all!Nicole looked at him calmly.“Third Brother, I’m certain. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked my life for a stranger.”Kai was silent for a long time.After a long time, Kai asked her in a dry voice, “Then… What should we do? That guy woke up once. Leighton and the others asked him if he was willing to accept the risky experiment and said that they could use Sebastian’s method. But they’ll change the risk assessment and experiment methods. This will give him a chance to stand up again. But if it fails, his lower body will be completely amputated. He already agreed to it.”Nicole’s expression suddenly changed, and her lip
