Chapter 627 DX Lab

The two who obtained the strangely shaped necklace did not immediately go to the DX Lab.

Having just acquired the strange object, Yang Xingguo needed to familiarize himself with its abilities.

He decided to first use the power of the necklace to try and deal with one or two Flame Winged Angels that shared the same origin as the Flame Demon Puppet.

With Bell's guidance, Yang Xingguo finally understood how the people in the experimental zone managed to navigate the maze-like architectural layout.

They all have personal devices.

The terminal will mark their route in detail, as well as the permission requirements for each region.

If the user of the terminal goes to an area outside their authorized area or deviates from the planned route, the terminal will also issue a reminder.

Most importantly, when necessary, the terminal can be used to view monitoring within the scope of permissions.

When Bell took this thing out of the lab to check the surveillance footage, Yang Xingguo really wanted to ask, "Why didn't you take this out sooner?"

But when he thought of how Bell had cowered in the locker when they first met, he swallowed his words.

Although Bear is a big, burly man, he looks like he was raised by a brown bear.

But he is, after all, just a researcher. He may have the ability to survive, but his combat ability is another matter.

When the Flame Demon Puppet goes berserk, its first instinct is to find a way to save itself. Who would risk their life by going back to the lab to retrieve the terminal?

In any case, the two who obtained the terminal no longer had to rely on intuition to avoid the dangers in the experimental area.

As a Level 2 researcher who can participate in the creation of the Flame Demon Puppet, obtaining partial access to corridor monitoring is not a problem.

Through monitoring and internal anti-counterfeiting measures, Yang Xingguo successfully lured the skeleton named Flame Wing Angel to the testing ground for a one-on-one test.

As a base used for testing bizarre experimental sites, safety protection measures are essential.

With Bell in charge of overall control, Yang Xingguo had no need to worry about dying at the hands of the skeleton.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, he, who has already logged in as a tester, will be protected by the security system immediately.

With basic life safety guaranteed, Yang Xingguo suppressed his fear of the Flamewing Angel and faced the skeleton that had burned him to a crisp just hours earlier.

Using the same bizarre object used to suppress the Flame Demon Puppet against these defective products yielded predictable results.

What was originally an extremely deadly heat ray has been transformed into a toy laser light in the hands of a child.

Yang Xingguo didn't even need to make any protective movements; the incoming laser beams were absorbed by the necklace activated by the black bead.

After taking down two Flamewing Angels in succession, and having gained experience in coordinating their attacks, the black bead incorporated the power of the necklace into the automatic system, completely embedding it into the skin.

Yang Xingguo subconsciously touched his neck, but when he glanced at Bell on the observation platform, he forcibly suppressed his discomfort and walked out of the test site.

First, a black bead fused into her body, and now she has a necklace as well.

Given that he had recovered even after his body was burned to a crisp in an explosion... Yang Xingguo wasn't sure if he could still be called human, but he didn't have time to think about that right now.

Back in the control room, Bell, looking pale, approached with a terminal in hand: "I've found the Balrog's activity trajectory... Unfortunately, it last appeared on the monitor and was heading towards the DX Labs."

The worst-case scenario has occurred.

Yang Xingguo took the terminal and asked, "Is there no specific video feed?"

"Yes, there is, but I don't have permission to enable those surveillance functions," Bell replied truthfully.

Yang Xingguo glanced at him, said nothing, and obediently took on the role of the access control tool, unlocking the monitoring permissions near the DX Lab.

It must be said that this so-called assistant has very high privileges, and can even see the monitoring in the main control room inside the laboratory.

Thanks to this, they no longer needed to worry about avoiding the Balrog.

Through the screen in the control room, the two could clearly see the giant body located in the very center of the test site.

Flames leaped and danced on the surface of the Balrog's body, while smoke and embers swirled and churned in the heatwave.

The empty and desolate test site, under the influence of high temperatures, transformed into something resembling a lava pit inside a volcano.

The Flame Demon Puppet's heavy yet agile body was launching attack after attack on the device in the center of the testing field.

Sometimes it pounces with sharp claws, sometimes it spews flames.

The massive body, over seven meters tall, leaped high into the air, its feet gleaming with blinding white light as it slammed down, the impact causing even the control room to tremble slightly.

But all these attacks were in vain.

The cylindrical device beneath its feet showed no signs of damage; instead, it emitted a ripple that easily sent the Flame Demon Puppet flying.

The Flame Demon Puppet, slammed against the wall, roared at the device. The sound waves and air currents temporarily dispelled the flames around the device, allowing Yang Xingguo to see the true form of the object the Flame Demon Puppet was relentlessly attacking.

Through the palm-sized glass window of the cylindrical structure, he saw a familiar face, but the area was quickly engulfed in flames again.

Yang Xingguo's veins bulged on his hands, and he almost cried out.

That incubation chamber-like thing is definitely imprisoning Yang Xingyue or Yue Qihua.

Yang Xingguo began to constantly switch perspectives, attempting to find a second culture chamber.

But after looking around, all that was in the DX laboratory was the incubation chamber right in the center of the testing area.

"I remember there should be two test subjects, why is there only one here?"

Yang Xingguo tried to keep his voice low and maintain a calm tone as he asked Bell.

"Well, I'm not a participant in Project DX. I just know that such a place and project exist."

The experimental subjects for Project DX were transported along with the heat death core isolates, and I happened to be receiving them with Director Ars at the time.

If my memory serves me right, only one incubation chamber was transported over at the time…

only one?
Yang Xingguo's expression began to contort.

Could it be that he sent the two children to different bases?

But time was of the essence, and Yang Xingguo had no time to consider it.

He opened the sealed base without authorization and used his privileges everywhere inside. It is believed that the people responsible for sealing the base were already aware of this and were currently verifying his identity with their superiors.

Once their identities are verified, they will definitely lock Yang Xingguo inside the base.

Yang Xingguo took a deep breath and placed the terminal on the table instead of returning it to Bell.

"Take me to the DX lab. I'll take you out once the incubation chamber is recovered."

"Oh."

Bell reluctantly agreed and reached for the terminal, but Yang Xingguo slapped his hand away.

"Instead of carrying that thing, we should find a way to arm ourselves with equipment. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to spare the time to protect you during the battle."

Bell thought about it and realized that Yang Xingguo made sense.

Even if he doesn't need to get involved in the upcoming battles, the Flamewing Angels roaming around the base are still a big problem for him.

So, the two of them, now fully armed, headed towards the laboratory.

It feels so good to gradually get my sleep schedule back on track...
