Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 212 The hidden secret agency

"This guy……"

The black flames burned most of the divine corroded cells used to resist, indicating that the monster's power was higher than the current level of the divine corroded cells, perhaps reaching level 45 or higher.

Fortunately, Lauren fell into a quite deep shaft, so the huge monster outside gave up the pursuit.However, after he fell down, he found that he seemed to be in an underground facility in the city's ruins, and he had no idea where he could leave.

There is nothing in the empty passage, but the air is very fresh, and it seems that the circulation system is operating autonomously.It was just that he didn't know where the front and back were leading. After thinking about it for a moment, Laurent just found a random direction and headed forward.

Theoretically, these passages should be connected to the ground, but it depends on luck which side to go out.Lauren groped in the dark for a long time. If he hadn't relied on the remaining fog of divine eclipse to monitor the surrounding environment, he probably wouldn't have been able to go this far.

However, he was soon blocked by a huge door.

"What? Screen door? No...this seems to be a gate somewhere."

It's not like a shield used to block the passage, but more like a blocking door of some kind of facility.Lauren tried to use mist to penetrate, but found that the door was almost completely sealed, and there was no way to find a breakthrough.

Does it mean that permission is required to start?Lauren fumbled around again and found a place that looked like a terminal.The technology here is not as advanced as my own terminal, so as long as it can be connected, the terminal's computing power should be able to crack the password.

"That's probably... like this!"

[Connected, reverse operation in progress. 】

Luo Lun felt that he was quite lucky, and the terminal developed by the Space-Time Administration did have enough computing power. The blocked door was ordered to be opened, and the heavy sealing mechanism slowly lifted upwards.

There is energy in it and it's still running...is it a shelter?
"The administrator enters the area. 』

The terminal directly overridden all permissions, so Lauren now became the administrator of this facility.He has all the authority, so he doesn't care about any obstacles.

"Report on facility conditions."

He didn't know what this facility hidden deep underground was used for, so Lauren simply ordered the system center to report the current situation.But the data and reports returned are a bit strange. It seems to be an autonomous research institute, established to study and create something special.

『3% of resources remain, and the expected stop date is 30 days later.The research project is 85% progressed and lacks necessary test data.The prototype is in good health and its current status is dormant. 』

Um?Prototype health?Does this mean that what is being studied here is actually a living thing?
Not knowing whether it was related to the external monsters, Lauren continued walking deeper into the research facility.Along the way, he saw many transparent tanks containing suspected creatures. It seemed that this was a biological research institute, specially used to study animals and the like.

"The latest research report——according to the current tests, we can install various types of weapons on the body of the prototype, and it is confirmed that the prototype can perform neural manipulation on these weapons, but the body has abnormalities when installing certain weapons energy consumption, it is suspected that the energy circulation system is still defective. 』

"The prototype's mental state has weakened to a certain extent after the high-intensity test. The psychological intervention department recommended extensive testing, but the health department gave suggestions to postpone the test.At present, we have temporarily set the prototype to sleep mode and are waiting for further notification. 』

"Hiss... This is the top secret project team of the Biological Weapons Research Institute. I am temporary assistant No. 33... It has been 500 days since the implanted mechanical weapons went out of control. There is not much energy left in the research institute. Most of the researchers ignored it. The ban escaped from the institute by itself, and I... couldn't hold on anymore.Then, I set up a program privately. If the energy source of the institute drops below 1%, the restraints on the prototype will be automatically released. I hope she can survive..."

she?What the hell is this?
Lauren speeded up, and he quickly entered the deepest part of the institute. Most of the facilities here had stopped working due to lack of energy, and only some of the facilities that maintained basic functions were still working.

『Warning, you are about to enter a dangerous area ahead, please take precautions. 』

"no problem."

"Permission confirmed, the prototype housing area is being opened. 』

Amidst the piercing sirens, the last door in front of Laurent opened.

This is a room with almost nothing, but the most eye-catching thing is the huge cultivation tank at the far end of the room.Behind the transparent tempered glass is a light blue liquid and floating in it...

A girl wearing a swimsuit-like tights, but without complete limbs.

"What is this stuff!"

The girl looked young, maybe thirteen or fourteen years old, but she only had half of her limbs, and the ends seemed to be covered by some kind of mechanical structure.At this time, she was sleeping in the culture fluid and looked quite peaceful.

"Prototype condition assessment - stability.Do you want to release hibernation and start testing? 』

"of course."

Several supports protruded from the wall of the slot and grabbed the girl's waist and limbs.Then the liquid level of the culture medium began to drop rapidly, and after the light blue liquid completely disappeared, the four artificial mechanical prosthetic limbs were sent out by other mechanical arms and directly connected to the girl's limb interfaces.

"Start awakening. 』

The glass tank was also completely opened, and the girl's restraints were also released.She slowly fell to the ground and slowly opened her eyes as if she had just woken up.She didn't seem to understand the current situation. After looking at the empty room, she set her sights on Lauren.

"Today...are there any tests to be done?"

"There's no test, let me ask you a few questions first."

Not knowing how strong the girl was, Lauren quietly prepared his defense first, and then he pretended to be a researcher, and began to ask questions according to the mental test items in the research report.

"First question, what is your name."

"F...Flin."

"Second question, who are you?"

"A special weapon for special autonomous machines, experimental prototype No. [-] codenamed 'Despair'."

These were questions that the girl must have been asked countless times, so she answered them smoothly.But she also seemed very curious about Lauren, as if she had never seen a person come to ask her questions.

"The third question, do you still remember what happened in the past?"

"I...I...don't remember."

Sure enough, the problem here was more serious than Lauren imagined.
