National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

Ren Linhe patted Shen Nan's shoulder gently to comfort him, then turned to Shen Wansan and Xiao Feifei and said, "Let's go, time waits for no one."

Shen Wansan and Xiao Feifei nodded at the same time, and then the team of four people and one vine, like a tacit army, slowly moved towards the core area of the research institute.

In the deep corridor of the research institute, Shen Nan, Ren Linhe and others moved forward steadily. Because Fanfan was too big, he had re-entered the exclusive space and would come out when necessary.

The core area of the research institute has always been the ultimate goal of survivors from all over the world, but it is also a forbidden area that they stay away from.

Because here gathers the most powerful mutant creatures of the institute. Their strength and ferocity have caused countless survivors who tried to go deeper to return empty-handed.

However, for Shen Nan and his team, these high-level mutant creatures are no longer insurmountable obstacles.

Because Shen Nan's "Phantom Sea Sound" can confuse these mutant creatures and pull them into the illusion.

Ren Linhe was also well aware of this, so several of them boldly rushed directly to the core area, using Shen Nan's ability to quickly eliminate the mutated creatures along the way.

They acted quickly and decisively, and whenever they encountered mutant creatures, Shen Nan would immediately release the Phantom Sea Fan to draw all the people or mutant creatures into it.

When all the mutant creatures were trapped in the illusion and unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, Shen Nan immediately used his healing ability to quickly pull his teammates out of the illusion.

At this time, those deceived mutant creatures became lambs to be slaughtered.

With the cooperation of Shen Nan's "Phantom Sea Sound" and "Mermaid Song", even the most powerful mutants would find it difficult to resist their offensive.

In this way, Shen Nan and his team advanced rapidly all the way and headed directly towards the core area of the research institute.

This area was filled with level five and level six mutant creatures. In just over ten minutes, from the first floor to the underground second floor, Shen Nan had collected more than twenty golden crystals and more than ten purple crystals.

Outside the research institute, most of the mutants encountered in the shelters are level two or three mutants, and level four mutants are extremely rare.

This also explains why survivors from other countries are never able to penetrate into this core area.

Because even if they were not affected by the "Phantom Sea Sound", it would take them a lot of time to successfully enter the core area.

Although they have the ability to eliminate all mutated creatures, Shen Nan did not choose to do so.

Survivors from other countries are also gathered in the institute. If they eliminate all these mutant creatures, the survivors from other countries will be able to easily follow their footsteps and enter the core area.

Everyone's goal is to obtain the virus fluid before venturing into the core area, and Shen Nan is certainly unwilling to pave the way for others.

In order to prevent survivors from other countries from easily following them into the core area, Shen Nan also deliberately left behind several mutant creatures as a barrier.

First use the illusion to control the mutated creatures, and after safely evacuating, Shen Nan uses his self-healing ability to eliminate the negative states of the mutated creatures that entered the illusion, allowing them to restore their combat effectiveness and continue to guard the area.

After a series of clearing operations, Shen Nan, Ren Linhe and others finally stood in front of a big door, which was the only passage leading to the heart of Amena Research Institute.

However, due to a power outage within the institute, the pupil scanner that originally relied on electricity to operate lost its function, making it impossible for them to enter by conventional means.

Then the only option is to take a more direct approach - breaking in by force.

Ren Linhe tightly gripped the Seven-Star Sword, gathered his strength in his arms, and then swung the sword with a force as powerful as thunder at the sturdy door.

The blade collided with the door panel with a dull metallic impact sound, but the result was far from expected.

The blade only left a shallow scratch about three or four centimeters deep on the door, and did not cause any greater damage.

Ren Linhe swung the Seven Star Knife several times in a row. The scratches on the gate gradually increased, but it was still firmly blocking them. Instead, the blade of the Seven Star Knife began to curl.

Shen Wansan walked forward and gently touched the deepest scratch on the door with his fingers.

After careful observation and a moment of contemplation, he said, "This door is at least thirty centimeters wide. It would be difficult to break it open with the Seven Star Sword alone."

After hearing what Shen Wansan said, Shen Nan frowned slightly, revealing a hint of confusion.

In his understanding, the Seven-Star Sword was of blue quality. Although it was not the top weapon in the system's classification, its sharpness and material were undoubtedly much higher than the common cold weapons in the shelter. This seemingly ordinary door could not even be broken by the Seven-Star Sword.

After hearing Shen Wansan's analysis, Ren Linhe immediately put the Seven-Star Knife into his backpack space, and then took out another knife from the backpack space.

The blade of this knife emits a faint purple light. Compared with the Seven-Star Knife, it appears sharper and more precious.

This sword is called "Han Yue" and is a purple-quality weapon with an attack power of 52 points, almost twice that of the Seven-Star Sword.

Shen Nan obtained this Hanyue Sword from the golden treasure chest after the end of the island copy. At that time, he felt that he could not use and bring out the combat power of this sword with his own strength, so he gave Hanyue to Ren Linhe.

The name of this sword is Hanyue, and its attack power is 52 points, more than twice that of the Seven-Star Sword.

Shen Nan got the Hanyue Sword from the golden treasure chest at the end of the island copy. He gave it to Ren Linhe because he felt that he could not bring out the combat power of Hanyue at that time.

The only thing that made Shen Nan a little regretful was that Hanyue was a finished knife, not a blueprint, which also meant that he could not use the processing table to make more Hanyue knives.

The Frost Moon Blade was the first finished weapon of purple quality that they owned. Although this blade had a stamina of up to 10,000 points, it meant that it could withstand long-term use without being easily damaged.

But even so, Ren Linhe's cherishment of the Frost Moon Blade did not decrease because of this. He would only use this blade in critical moments.

Ren Linhe tightly grasped the Hanyue Sword, and with the sound of breaking through the air, the Hanyue Sword chopped towards the sturdy door with unstoppable force.

Under the sharpness of the Hanyue Sword, the door was vulnerable with just one blow. With a loud bang, it broke into two halves and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The sudden collapse of the gate immediately made Shen Wansan and Xiao Feifei alert. They stood at the door, holding their weapons tightly, looking around with serious expressions, ready to deal with possible mutants or mutated creatures.

However, to their surprise, despite the deafening sound of the door being split open and smashing to the ground, more than ten seconds passed and no mutant creature rushed out.

The surroundings were still quiet, without any movement.

Xiao Feifei frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Are there no mutant creatures in the core area? Such a loud noise should attract the attention of those mutant creatures."

Shen Wansan also seemed a little surprised. Chen Ying paused for a moment and then said, "Such a loud noise did not attract any mutant creatures. It seems that there may really be no mutants inside. Perhaps the defense measures in the core area are more stringent, and those low-ranking scientific researchers who were infected at the time could not enter here."

After confirming that there were no mutant creatures around, Ren Linhe took the lead and stepped into the door that was split open by the Hanyue Sword.

Shen Nan followed closely behind, also holding a Seven-Star Knife in his hand, ready to deal with any possible threats at any time.

Shen Wansan and Xiao Feifei were responsible for the rear. They looked around vigilantly to ensure the safety of the team's rear.

Although no trace of mutant creatures has been found so far, they have not let down their guard and remain highly alert.

Passing through the broken gate, the team of four finally entered the core area of the Amena Research Institute.

This place is much more spacious than they expected. The core area is huge, like a maze, with many laboratories intricately distributed inside.

Each laboratory is full of traces of scientific exploration, with various experimental samples and biological specimen containers placed on the workbench.

Some of these containers contained slices of exotic plants, while others contained samples of unknown microorganisms. Detailed research charts and data records were hung on the walls.

Although the paper is a little yellowed, one can still feel the scientific research atmosphere that once existed here.

Even more shocking was that they found several modified human bodies in some laboratories. These bodies had obviously undergone some kind of experimental modification, but were now motionless, soaked in formalin, and preserved forever in the form of preservative fluid.

The existence of these bodies silently tells of the forbidden experiments that the institute once conducted.

There was a faint smell of chemicals in the air, which mixed with the pungent smell of formalin to create a unique, unsettling atmosphere.

Although a year has passed, traces of scientific research activities are still preserved here, as if those researchers have only temporarily left their jobs.

Ren Linhe took out a calling card from his backpack and established contact with the contact person on Shuilan Star. At the same time, he took out a flashlight from his backpack.

Ren Linhe's voice was clearly heard in the office of the Minister of Defense of Shuilan Star through the calling card.

Although the animal transformation abilities possessed by the four of them allowed them to see clearly even in pitch-black environments, for the audience in the live broadcast room, the picture they saw was completely dark. Only the night mode provided by the system allowed them to barely see some blurry shadows.

As the first survivors to enter the core area, they knew nothing about the internal structure here. In order to find the virus extract, they had to search every laboratory carefully.

But they only have four pairs of eyes, and there will always be things they miss. At this time, the recorders who are waiting in the live broadcast room become particularly important. They can use the live broadcast room to remind Ren Linhe and others of the places they may have missed.

At the same time, the liaison personnel from Shuilanxing also provided Ren Linhe with some important information: Currently, teams of survivors from eight countries have entered different areas of the institute. Although their progress is different, they are all steadily advancing towards the core area.

Therefore, they must remain vigilant at all times, not only to guard against possible sudden intrusions from other countries' survivor teams, but also to efficiently search every laboratory for the original virus solution.

Ren Linhe held a flashlight and walked to the nearest laboratory first to start searching.

As time was running out, Shen Nan and his companions took out the flashlights they had prepared and began searching other places.

However, Shen Nan did not go too far, but chose to search a few meters away from Ren Linhe, so that he could maintain a certain safe distance.

Shen Wansan and Xiao Feifei adopted a strategy of acting separately, each going to different laboratories to begin a carpet search.
