Shen Yanhe and the young woman halted in their tracks upon seeing the scene behind the door.
They now stood on the edge of a "cliff," beside which dangled a ladder made of chains, designed for one person to climb up.
In front of them lay a massive deep pit.
Inside the pit were densely packed bodies, countless in number.
The bodies were so decayed they had long since deteriorated to skeletons; some remained in the pit while others seemed to reach out in a desperate bid to climb out...
Shen Yanhe could roughly guess their ages from the skeletal remains.
Old and young, and adults as well...
So many, more than she could count.
A foul stench wafted from the pit, causing Shen Yanhe to bend over and retch uncontrollably.
She finally realized where those failed experimental subjects were taken to be disposed of.
It was here.
No wonder.
No wonder this was the way to the outside world.
No wonder, this was the 'Gate of Life'.
How could Fu Weizhi dare!
