    <span>After the submarine reached nearly 3000 meters deep, the intensity of the signal grew stronger. The submarine was already searching close to the seabed. The deepest part of the sea maxed out at a little over 3000 meters. By the seabed, a faint light could be seen from afar. With their enhanced eyesight, it was already visible from a good distance.


    <span>With this, the small submarine safely arrived at the location of the secretboratory on the seabed.


    <span>Closing in on the location, there were a lot of buildings on the seabed, like an underwater city. The glowing light was illuminating a small portion of the total construction area. The lights seeped out through ss windows from a building. The ss used for the window required a special type of ss that could sustain the pressure from 3000 meters of sea water.


    <span>At the edge of the construction site, there was a structure resembling a docking site. It was capable of dockingrge submarines, so for small submarines like Liu Gan''s it was more than sufficient to use..


    <span>Right as Liu Gan''s submarine was preparing to dock at the anchoring joints, a wireless transmitting station from a nearby building came through their radio.


    <span>"May I ask who you are?" A voice transmitted through themunications system inquiring about the new iing submarine. Clearly, these people hadn''t seen the appearance of this particr submarine before. So as a precaution, it was protocol to inquire before letting them off the submarine.


    <span>"We are sent by the mothership, we are the investigative crew. As we passed by the area, we received a rescue signal. Conveniently, we were reassigned to investigate this matter," Liu Gan answered the inquiry.


    <span>"Okay. After the joints finish connecting, please state your identity. We will release you after we confirm your identities," replied the unidentified speaker. As they allowed the submarine to dock to the connecting hatches.


    <span>After the submarine was attached, Yin He equipped her silver armor from spatial storage. Then in the area above her fist, she extended out a sharp spike that she stabbed onto the detection device of the istion chamber in the submarine.


    <span>Han GuangMing and Zhao Meng witnessed Yin He''s transformation and were shocked, but no sounds were made while their mouths hung open.


    <span>"Cool!" Han GuangMing couldn''t think of another word to describe his current mood of being astounded by what he saw.


    <span>"Very cool!" Zhao Meng added.


    <span>Even though it was astonishing, these two didn''t say more than necessary. There were already suspicions going around that Yin He wasn''t human. There were all kinds of secretive rumors spreading within the prisonpound, but none that would reach Liu Gan''s ear.


    <span>"We are now investigative members. When you two are inside, don''t talk at all. Just match what I do," Liu Gan ordered Han GuangMing and Zhao Meng.


    <span>"Okay!" both nodded.


    <span>Yin He''s spike was used as identification. The detection device produced mechanical sounds as it was inspecting her spike. Then a few secondster, the red light turned green. Naturally, the lock on the cabin door opened up.


    <span>This base of underwaterboratory was isted from the catastrophe, so it had lost all forms ofmunication without any warning. Naturally, the information in their database hadn''t been updated. Even though on the mothership, Yin He''s identification have been listed as ''lost'', due to thegging misinformation, Yin He was able to sessfully bypass the recognition system.


    <span>As a stolen body from the mothership, Yin He''s body had authorization for almost every secretboratory, since the Armored Warriors sent out from the mothership had to have ess to the locations to execute their different missions. The protocol for ''missing'' Armored Warriors would be the immediate termination of authorizations across allboratories, at least before the catastrophe. Ever since that incident, there had been no ess to reach thework of information to update the database.


    <span>After the cabin door to the secretboratory side opened, Liu Gan and the other three stepped into the building. There were a dozen male and female scientists with their whiteb coats gathered in the cabin. The moment Yin He with her Silver Armor disembarked from the submarine, she was greeted with admiring looks from the scientists. Standing right by her side was Liu Gan.


    <span>Back then, there were Armored Warriors frequently traveling to their location for missions. Often, the Armored Warriors would resupply the base as a side effect of dropping by and they would leave withpleted experiment results. These Armored Warriors would rarelymunicate with the research scientists, even rarer when there were humanpanions aboard their submarine.


    <span>There were asions when humanpanions traveled along with the Armored Warriors, and these humans held high ranks even on the mothership. These humans investigators were sent out by the requests of the executive board or investors. So when the research scientists saw Liu Gan standing right by Yin He''s side, they naturally thought Liu Gan was a high ranking official sent by thepany.


    <span>With an Armored Warrior apanying him, no one would ever question Liu Gan and the others'' identities. There was a possibility of having imposters amongst the living, but at their current technological advancement, it was impossible to impersonate an Armored Warrior.


    <span>"Hello, how are you? I''m Wei Liang. I am the supervisor of this secretboratory. I am very happy that you were able toe to our location. We have waited many days and nights for your arrival. Did something happen to the outside world? Why hasn''t anyone contacted us this long? Why did the resupply shipments stop arriving?" asked a researcher in his mid thirties. He enthusiastically walked up to greet Liu Gan.


    <span>"We were only passing by when we received your distress signal. So we took a detour to check it out. Are youpletely disconnected from thework? Why haven''t you tried using any transportation to reach the surface?" Liu Gan attempted to gather information from these people.


    <span>If these people were truly disconnected from the outside world, then it would be easier to manipte them.


    <span>"We are stuck here without any means of transportation to reach the surface. When we agreed toe work here, we signed a detailed confidentiality agreement that without permission we can''t leave," Wei Liang looked strangely at Liu Gan, but continued to exin the situation.


    <span>"So that means all the incidents that happened to thepany''s executive board, you don''t know about it?" Liu Gan faked his shocked expression as he quickly replied.


    <span>"Yes, what happened at thepany?" Wei Liang asked Liu Gan.


    <span>"There''s a change with some of thepany''s executive board members. The board of directors dismissed several managing officers, and some of these officersmitted suicide before they finished their job. That is why a portion of the secretboratories like this one have been forgotten. Seems like you were one of those unluckyboratories," Liu Gan replied.


    <span>"So it was like that…" Wei Liang was emotionally riled up. Never did he think that a high ranking official would disclose detailed secrets about the executive board.


    <span>"We are in the process of regaining control of the lost assets of thepany. We were sessful in taking back most of the secretboratories back under our control. This time we were out doing a routine patrol when we identally received your distress signal. So we decided to stop by." Liu Gan gave a stern look while carefully examining Wei Liang''s expression.
