The Strongest Beast Tamer 109 Researcher's United

"Alright," Zoe nodded in agreement. The rest of the group did as well.

Pressing the b.u.t.ton to go back down they reached the floor Zhang was at. When the doors opened they saw down the long hallway, Brianna, Phoebe, and Georgia were sitting there anxiously. The surgery was still going on.

Walking up the Phoebe Lachlan sat down. "Do you know how's it going?"

Phoebe was momentarily stunned by Lachlan's appearance but also didn't think too much about it. Her head tilted to the ground. "Not yet, fortunately, it seems nothing has gone wrong either so everything should be going well."

Phoebe leaned over and placed her head against Lachlan's shoulder, Lachlan leaned slightly back. "That's good. As for what happened above, Thomas is now working for us along with his father and their entire organisation."

Phoebe's head tilted up, her face slightly confused. "How'd that end up happening?"

"Well, the father didn't mind as soon as he found out about our strength. But, he would only do what we say if we don't kill his son. So I had to rush all the way here and smash through Thomas' window to stop Zoe from ending his life," Lachlan explained.

"So what would they be working as? You surely wouldn't suggest they actually become apart of the main force, not after that mother injured Zhang," Phoebe said.

"Of course not, they'll be working with Choripán Reyes who'll be working under us. We'll attempt to spread them across the world to gather information," Lachlan explained joyfully. He thought the idea was pretty good, granted he only came up with it along the way to the hospital.

"And you came up with that idea how?" Phoebe asked with a light chuckle.

"I've seen it in movies and tv series, where large groups use restaurants and whatnot as a large coverup for their operations," Lachlan explained.

"You coming or what Lachlan?" Simon interrupted his conversation with Phoebe. They were standing by the elevator ready to check out the other secret floors.

Lachlan stood up and turned to Phoebe. "So we found something odd about this hospital and are going to check it out. You're welcome to come or not. That goes for all three of you."

"I don't want Zhang to be greeted by nothing when they've finished the surgery so I might stay back," Georgia explained.

"You don't have to, I'll wait here and the two of you go with the rest of them," Brianna explained shyly, her face slightly red.

Phoebe and Georgia didn't think too much about Brianna's embarra.s.sed face. "Alright, that'll be great. We'll come along with the rest of you then."

Phoebe and Georgia stood up and walked to the elevator where the rest of the group was waiting. However, when they reached there the group was busy studying the b.u.t.ton.

"This floor is apparently the 7th floor, that's what we clicked to get here," Zoe explained as she pointed towards the b.u.t.ton. "Could it be that they randomised the b.u.t.tons, meaning either one of these b.u.t.tons could lead us to the secret floor."

"Or maybe the two secret floors are 1 and 2. Considering there's ground floor already there; there's probably a high chance the two secret floors are 1 and 2 since to get back down the visitors will click on the ground floor b.u.t.ton," Lachlan explained.

"Suppose there's only one way to find out," Simon clicked on the 2nd-floor b.u.t.ton. There was a slight change to the wall, a scanner opened up. Simon moved closer to it and studied it a bit. "Well then, I suppose we won't be able to get to the secret floor so easily."

"What are you talking about?" Zoe said in a condescending voice. She took a step towards the scanner and brought out the keycard, swiping it across it quickly went back into the wall and they felt the elevator go down.

"Just wondering, how did you get that keycard?" Lachlan asked. Considering the keycard could allow someone to travel anywhere in this hospital, they wouldn't just give it to some random person that asked for it.

"Well similar to what you probably did to that father of Thomas, just a bit of roughing up and we got everything we need," Zoe explained.

"You didn't actually hurt anyone though?" Lachlan was concerned they injured normal people. Although they might not be so normal now, to be working in such an elaborate hospital. One that seems to possess high-tech security in a town at the edge of the country.

"Of course not, just a simple summon and they just gave us everything we needed. Granted the keycard was a lot more difficult to get a hold of," Simon chipped in.

Everyone's face abruptly hardened when they felt the elevator begin to slow down. Once it completely stopped the doors opened up, they were greeted by the sight of dozens of people rus.h.i.+ng around a laboratory.

One of the people noticed the group at the elevator and dropped all his stuff. "Who the h.e.l.l are you people?! This is a restricted area! Not somewhere people can just easily enter!"

The man's shouts attracted everyone's attention. All the people with lab coats turned around the look at the group standing silently in the elevator. The group were rather stunned by everything in front of them.

Across the benches were the scientists were working, there were monster limbs scattered, all being completely dissected. In the boxes being carried around by the scientists, the group could see more monster limbs dangling out of them.

"We don't care if this is a restricted area! We were just rather curious as to who's down here and created such an odd hospital!" Lachlan shouted back, his voice booming through the room. He turned to look at the man that first spotted them. "So, who exactly are you all?"

"We're apart of Researcher's United, this hospital is a coverup for one of our bases," He explained. "Now you tell us, who the h.e.l.l you all are? Disrupting our research is very rude."

Lachlan took a quick glance at Phoebe, shotting her a smug face.

"We're the leaders of Bloodied Wings, not exactly sure if you've heard of us or not."

Before Lachlan could finish his sentence a woman scientist in the back suddenly shouted. "Bloodied Wings! Of course we've heard of you, there's no need to explain anymore," She quickly rushed up the elevator. "Because of the research your organisation posted online I was able to bring my children out to play without feeling scared; I deeply thank you for that."

She then continued. "I was researcher a way to prove that those children weren't an intelligent beast but I faced a major problem; I couldn't get my hands on a sample of an intelligent beast and therefore couldn't complete the research."

"Well I'm glad we could be so helpful," Lachlan said as he scratched his head embarra.s.sed. The other scientists in the room were all scaring the group down, seeing if there's anything that makes them so different.

"Just wondering, but does that mean you have bases set up across the world? Like in major cities," Lachlan asked.

"Obviously," The woman confirmed Lachlan's suspicion. "It's a bit difficult to gather every scientist in one place considering some of them have a rather deep connection to the cities they're stationed at. So instead we just built a laboratory there for them to use alongside others in the city and before we knew it we became a ma.s.sive organisation."

"So does that mean the only secret floor in this building is another laboratory?" Lachlan asked.

"Nope, it's our beast breeding ground and experimentation ground. We test new weapons against the beasts down there," She explained calmly without seeing a single issue.

"No one's stopping it?" Chloe asked. Wondering how they managed to get away with it.

"For what? Animal cruelty!" The woman chuckled at Chloe's question. "Until we're back at the top no one really cares what happens to the beasts; everyone only cares about their safety. and considering we provide the information for their safety, none of them care about what we do to get the information."

"Alrighty then, so where does the black b.u.t.ton on the special elevator lead to?" Lachlan asked abruptly. The woman stood there silently, staring at Lachlan.

"It leads to our Vice-Leader's room," She explained calmly, not spilling another detail.

"Would we be able to see him?" Chloe asked.

"Well it's rather difficult to actually book an appointment with the Vice-Leader, he's a rather busy man," The woman said nervously, she looked as though this was a rather awkward topic to talk about.

"So why's he got a room all to himself?" Lachlan asked the question she was looking forward to the least. She stood there silently, unsure how to answer. Someone suddenly patted her shoulder and stood next to her, a man that looked like a giant. The group wasn't sure whether he was a scientist or an experiment.

"Unfortunately, that's cla.s.sified information," He said in a st.u.r.dy and deep voice.

He suddenly perked up and reached for his ear. He likely had an earpiece there, it was probably someone important talking to him. The group stood there, waiting for everything to finish.

After several seconds he put his hand back down. "Alright, the Vice-Leader wishes to see you for some reason. I will give you a warning beforehand, don't p.i.s.s our Vice-Leader off."

"We'll keep that in mind," Lachlan said. The giant then gestured towards an elevator on the other side of the lab. They walked over and Zoe stepped forward to swipe the keycard. Walking through the doors Zoe clicked on the black b.u.t.ton.

The door quickly shut behind them and they shot down. They felt a bit of weightlessness from the speed they were going. Suddenly they felt it slow down, they felt their moment push them towards the elevator floor. It was similar to those big drops at theme parks.

When the elevator doors opened they were greeted by the sight of a man, trapped in a gla.s.s box. When he noticed guest he looked up, the eyes he had were half black, they sent s.h.i.+vers down their spines.

"Welcome, I'm sorry I couldn't greet you in a more warn fas.h.i.+on Lachlan Wilson."
