Chapter 758: Taking A Risk!

Translator: Lordbluefire

The entrance to this underground basement was completely concealed in the bushes. The surrounding area was empty grassland. If Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen hadn’t seen Song Chen run in with their own eyes, they would never have discovered it.

Once they entered through the small opening, it immediately became spacious inside. They could even see that the surrounding structures were made of reinforced steel. It was evident that this was a well-established and mature underground facility.

Shen Ruojing wasn’t in the mood to survey her surroundings; instead, she looked at Song Chen. At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of a passage, looking at the two of them with a faint smile. “Jingjing, do you know where this is?”

Shen Ruojing shook her head, but she had a vague guess in her mind.

Song Chen smiled, “Yes, your guess is correct. This is one of Doom Organization’s laboratories, sponsored by the Karl family...”

He reached out his hand towards the nearby wall and explained, “The concrete here is extremely sturdy, and the entrance is well-hidden. Without guidance, it’s difficult to find this place.”

The population in Country Y is sparse, and there are countless abandoned gardens like this. No one comes here to maintain it, and even fixing the roads would be considered good enough. With overgrown weeds outside, this place is indeed hard to find.

Shen Ruojing clenched her jaw, “What are you trying to say? Are Dr. Xu’s parents being held captive here?”

“Correct,” Song Chen smiled and spoke, “Many experiments were conducted in this laboratory. After an explosion caused by negligence, everyone evacuated because it was dangerous. But Karl, to punish Dr. Xu, imprisoned his parents here.”

Shen Ruojing frowned but didn’t say anything.

Song Chen looked at her with a smile, “It’s dangerous inside, Jingjing, but for you, I can risk my life. Can he do that?”

Song Chen pointed towards Chu Cichen.

Shen Ruojing was taken aback, then she spoke, “I don’t need his life.”

“He can’t, right? That’s why you’re so protective of him...” Song Chen grinned, “Jingjing, do you know? The thoughts and bodies of cloned individuals don’t change. In other words, I will forever remain as him from six years ago...”

Shen Ruojing didn’t understand why he said those words, but she suddenly understood why she saw Chu Cichen when she met Song Chen six years ago when she first saw Song Chen.

So that’s how it is.

After all, clone technology was still not mature. Cloned individuals don’t age naturally like humans.

She pressed her lips together and heard Song Chen say, “The him from six years ago loved you with all his heart and gave you his genuine affection. But Chu Cichen from the past six years is different, Jingjing. He has three children and his own family... I am different from him. I will forever remain as him from six years ago. My love for you is pure, and my world revolves around only you...”

The love of youth is always the most passionate. In one’s life, the person they fell in love with at nineteen would not be influenced by external factors, but simply because they are who they are...

As one grew older, when they fall in love with someone else, there would naturally be many considerations.

Shen Ruojing furrowed her brow, “So what?”

“So what...” Song Chen’s eyes showed a wounded expression as he looked at Chu Cichen with resentment, “I want to tell you that 1 love you more than him. I can prove it to you!”

After saying that, Song Chen picked up a gas mask from the side and put on an oxygen tank. He looked at Shen Ruojing with determination and said, “1 will save the people you want to rescue, regardless of the danger... Can he do the same?”

Leaving these words behind, Song Chen didn’t even look back and directly entered the cave.

Shen Ruojing instinctively took a step forward, not stopping Song Chen’s actions, but instead looked towards the cave.

Chu Cichen stood beside her and suddenly said, “This cave seems to be several kilometers long.”

He carefully sniffed the air and said, “There is a heavy toxic gas floating in the air. It would be difficult without an oxygen tank.”

He then looked at the storage capacity of the nearby oxygen tanks and calculated in his mind before continuing, “This oxygen tank is probably only enough for one person’s journey. His actions are indeed risky.”

Song Chen was using his life to prove to Shen Ruojing that he would help her obtain whatever she wanted.

His behavior was quite childish.

Shen Ruojing sneered and then looked at Chu Cichen, asking, “When will your people arrive?”

Chu Cichen checked the time and replied, “It will take at least an hour.”

Song Chen led them on a long detour, leaving the pursuers behind. After an hour, Song Chen estimated that he would have rescued the people.

While Shen Ruojing was thinking about this, there was suddenly an explosion from inside the cave!

The explosion shook the ground beneath Shen Ruojing, and then the lights in the entire room flickered. Immediately after, the large iron door closed in an instant!

Shen Ruojing’s heart sank. Oh no, she and Chu Cichen were trapped inside!

She tried to push the door with force but realized that the door was made of reinforced steel and couldn’t be opened at all!
