Seeing a familiar face, Bai Xue couldn't help but shed tears.
She had spoken to the woman on the operating table, and at the last station, they had even helped each other.
However, now, she was powerless to help her.
After stabilizing their emotions, everyone began to calmly analyze the surveillance footage and locate potential operating rooms, then searched them group by group.
They marked all the locations on the map and proceeded with the search in teams.
Each group had its own mission. If they found something, they would blow their whistles. If they encountered danger, they would also blow their whistles. No matter the situation, blowing the whistle was always the right move!
Witnessing living people having their lower bodies forcibly removed and replaced with an incredibly ugly large tail was something no one could bear to see.
Even Bai Yang and the others were greatly shocked by this scene.
Eighteen people were divided into three groups, six in each group. This was to prevent unexpected situations, as six people should be able to handle emergencies.
There were nine potential locations for operating rooms marked on the map, so each group was assigned three locations.
With the maps in hand, each group quickly got to work.
There was only half a day left before it was time for them to leave this place.
This time, Ning Wei was determined to catch Zhang Haiyang. She walked very fast. Except for Li Ye, Tang Tang and the others were eventually left behind.
If they hadn't had the map, they wouldn't have been able to find their way.
Lady Luck smiled upon Ning Wei, and she found the operating room.
Mei Nan and the other two groups had already searched all six locations without any success. As agreed, they returned to the surveillance room.
In the surveillance room, Song Zhi watched as Ning Wei kicked open the operating room door.
This operating room reeked of disinfectant. On a nearby shelf were many bloody surgical knives.
The young woman on the operating table was gone, leaving only a few fish scales on the white bedsheet.
Zhang Haiyang had also disappeared. It seemed their idea of occupying the surveillance room and being safe was a bit naive.
Facing the cunning old ghost Zhang Haiyang, the intelligence of their group had been completely outmatched.
Ning Wei, enraged, kicked the operating table. She glanced at the bloody surgical knives nearby, and without knowing what they were used for, she grabbed a handful and left.
She had thought she could catch Zhang Haiyang this time, but he had escaped again with his artificial mermaid.
Everyone returned to the surveillance room. Since there was no playback function, they couldn't find out where Zhang Haiyang had taken the artificial mermaid.
The ocean park was neither too big nor too small, with interconnected passages and various underwater mechanisms. Finding him wouldn't be easy.
Ning Wei unceremoniously placed all the surgical knives on the table: "Everyone take one. Choose the one that suits you!"
Silently, they took turns stepping forward to pick up a surgical knife. Seeing the blood on them, they knew these belonged to their teammates, and their hearts grew heavy.
If they hadn't known their teammates were still alive, it would have been one thing. But to witness firsthand how their teammates had been tortured by Zhang Haiyang, no one could tolerate this sight.
"Do you have a plan?" Mei Nan asked Ning Wei, who had a cold expression.
Ning Wei toyed with a surgical knife that still had fish scales on it and said, "Mermaids should be in the water, shouldn't they? What if I drain all the seawater here?"
No one immediately understood what "drain" meant.
Ning Wei, from somewhere, found a large sledgehammer and walked out of the surveillance room.
Li Ye followed closely behind her. The others stayed in the surveillance room, continuing to watch if Zhang Haiyang would reveal himself again.
Through the surveillance feed, they saw Ning Wei smashing through various glass enclosures with the sledgehammer, and all sorts of marine life cascaded onto the floor.
The seawater slowly flowed towards lower ground, and where it would eventually end up was unknown. Only the fish flopped on the floor.
She seemed to possess endless strength, smashing every piece of glass she saw, not even sparing a one-meter wide fish tank.
Listening to the shattering glass and the rushing water and marine life, everyone felt an exhilarating sense of excitement.
It was as if Ning Wei represented them, unleashing their darker impulses.
Finally, when Ning Wei was too exhausted, Li Ye took over the hammer and continued.
Watching from the surveillance room, everyone's blood boiled. A few people paired up and went out, also taking hammers to start their work.
Ning Wei knew that their every move was surely still within Zhang Haiyang's sight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the artificial mermaid and left the operating room so quickly.
This ocean park was like a vast maze, filled with all sorts of traps. Only Zhang Haiyang knew every detail of this place.
Since she couldn't outwit him, Ning Wei accepted it.
After all, if there was anyone who could play dirty, she would be second to none.
If she couldn't find him, fine. But he wouldn't be getting this ocean park!
More and more people joined in, and eventually, Ning Wei even smashed the surveillance room itself.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Bai Xue asked, surprised by Ning Wei's ruthless actions.
"She's committed murder and arson, so smashing a few surveillance screens is nothing," Song Zhi quietly explained to Bai Xue.
"Even after going this far, Zhang Haiyang still hasn't shown himself. Is he determined to play hide-and-seek with us?"
Li Zi'ang glanced at a screen that Ning Wei hadn't yet destroyed. It showed the devastated state of the ocean park.
It looked like a robbery, with all the glass shattered.
"It's not his composure we should fear, but his inability to maintain it," Mei Nan said calmly.
This ocean park was Zhang Haiyang's base. With it, he could obtain an endless supply of test subjects.
Now that Ning Wei had led everyone to completely destroy this place, Zhang Haiyang couldn't just stand by.
The reason he hadn't appeared yet must be that he was devising some malicious plan.
They just needed to be prepared to fight at any moment.
After destroying the surveillance room, they retreated outside the control room.
"Should we smash this too? I wonder if it will trigger any mechanisms," Bai Xue said, looking at the colorful buttons with various labels. She didn't think they should be destroyed carelessly.
The next second, Ning Wei arrived with the large sledgehammer.
"You all get back!"
Everyone quickly moved away.
Several heads poked out from the doorway, then they watched as Ning Wei swung the sledgehammer, sending a button flying and sparks spraying.
Amidst countless red sparks, Ning Wei emerged, still holding the sledgehammer.
Bai Xue was stunned. She had never encountered such a bold girl.
She had many unspoken words in her heart, which could only be summarized as "envy."
She envied Ning Wei's way of doing things, her arrogant demeanor of not having to consider the consequences.
Thinking back to her own past, before she got on this strange bus, she lived with her family. Not only were there many inconveniences, but there was also a great deal of unspoken grievance.
