After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

The fifth basement level.

Leng Ran stepped off the elevator, observing the layout, which resembled a science laboratory. The long corridor was lined with various departments, all enclosed by glass windows, offering a clear view of their interiors.

Inside the department, without exception, everything was filled with strange beasts! Most of them were ordinary strange beast materials for research, while a small portion were relatively complete strange beast corpses. Leng Ran suddenly heard a strange beast roar, quickened his pace, and soon reached the end of the corridor.

The small, still-alive Magnetic Storm Beast was tightly bound to an experimental bed, its body covered with various testing devices. The two three-star white-robed figures were using various tools to extract the Magnetic Storm Beast's blue blood.

The Magnetic Storm Beast is an auxiliary type of alien beast. It is extremely small in size, but it can interfere with electromagnetic signals. Rank A and above can trigger regional magnetic storms, Rank B and above can fire electromagnetic cannons, and Rank C and above can interfere with mech signals.

What's the purpose of extracting the blood from the Magneton? If it's just for researching alien beasts and developing technology, shouldn't the Magneton be related to weapons like signal jamming?

He walked in coldly, lowered his voice, and asked in a mocking tone, mimicking the voice of the deceased white-robed man, "How's the progress?"

The two three-star white-robed figures immediately bowed and said, "May the light be with you."

Leng Ran waved his sleeve, signaling the two to continue working. One of the men in white robes stepped forward to report.

"Your Excellency, the blood has been extracted and the experiment can begin at any time."

Leng Ran: "Hmm, not bad. Let's start the experiment and see your results."

The two agreed, then went to a device and operated it. A hole opened in the floor, and something rose up from the ground.

Leng Ran's pupils dilated in shock. The elevator platform brought up a boy with empty eyes and covered in wounds!

The fact that it rose from underground indicates that there are more experimental subjects on the sixth basement level.

Leng Ran cursed these charlatans inwardly, but in order not to reveal his identity, he had no choice but to remain still.

She was never a saint; she couldn't save everyone's lives, and she wouldn't act rashly if she couldn't protect herself.

A man in white robes stood next to Leng Ran, operated the equipment, and injected a portion of the blood that had just been drawn directly into the boy's body.

He began to emit electric sparks all over his body, howling in pain, and gradually, the equipment in the room began to malfunction.

The two shouted, "Is it going to succeed... God of Light, please bless your believers."

Suddenly, the lightning disappeared, and the boy seemed to have been struck by a powerful electric shock. He convulsed uncontrollably before slowly passing away.

Leng Ran felt a surge of anger and gained a new understanding of the Illuminati's shamelessness.

The two men got up in great disappointment, checked the data, and then reported to Leng Ran: "Your Excellency, the human body is probably unable to withstand such a strong current. Experiment No. 5 died due to current overload."

"Fine, I won't disturb your work any longer." He turned and left, intending to head to the sixth underground level to investigate.

The boy we just saw was brought up from the lower level. Could there be many more innocent people being imprisoned down there?

Unfortunately, before they even entered the elevator, the alarm suddenly went off, and the body of the white-robed man she had just killed was discovered!

"Alert—The Five-Star Messenger is dead. An intruder has broken in. Security personnel are requested to be dispatched. Anyone found in disguise should be killed without mercy." This is the announcement from the artificial intelligence here.

Leng Ran rushed into a weapons research and development room he had already spotted, slit the neck of a researcher with a dagger, and to prevent the robe from having a tracking system on it, Leng Ran took off his own robe and put on the other person's three-star robe to cover his face. He then took two pistols from the shelf and turned to flee.

The elevator was locked, but fortunately there were still escape stairs available.

He slipped into the emergency staircase and whispered to Yangguang on his shoulder.

"Yangon, environmental scan."

Yangon flew to the corner and turned on the scanner. "There are three surveillance cameras in the escape corridor. There are security personnel on the third basement level and the first floor, with seven people in each team."

"Okay, let's fight our way out." Leng Ran took out his gun, ready to go all out. Suddenly, he realized that the gun's energy bar was empty.

“Damn it, there’s no battery in the gun.” Leng Ran had no choice but to put away the gun and switch back to his dagger.

“No, this should be… a mental energy gun! It can be charged with mental energy, transforming that energy into highly penetrating energy bullets,” Yangon quickly explained. “But this technology is only in the experimental research stage in the Federal Government. How could the Illuminati possess technology of this level…?”

"I'll give it a try." Leng Ran took out the gun and tentatively injected his mental energy into it. Sure enough, the energy bar was gradually filled, and the gun used about one-fifth of his mental energy.

Leng Ran was secretly delighted; it was indeed a good product, but he wondered how quickly it would consume energy. He decided to put it to the test in a real battle.

Like a nimble cat, she controlled her footsteps and sped up the spiral staircase, soon encountering the first team of fully armed guards.

With a cold hand, he drew both guns and lightly tapped the triggers, striking before the enemy could react. He fired two shots at the hearts of the two guards, successfully penetrating their armor and piercing their hearts.

The guards, realizing what was happening, raised their hands and fired at Leng Ran, but it was too late. Leng Ran used the stair railing as a springboard and leaped several times to reach the remaining five men. His sharp metal legs aimed at the vulnerable waists of two guards, slashing long wounds across their abdomens, and they fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Leng Ran used one of the guards' corpses as a shield, and then took out the other two guards with his energy gun.

At this point, only one person remained standing. He appeared behind him like a ghost, kicked him in the chest, and then fired another shot.

The entire process took less than two minutes; the seven-man guard was wiped out, and only one-tenth of the two energy guns were used.

"Looks like there are forty rounds. It's a good gun indeed, easily penetrating their armor." Leng Ran smiled maliciously, reaching out to touch the corpse of the dead guard, and then taking two unidentified grenades.

"It's a pity there aren't any more. I wish you could give me two more." Leng Ran sighed.

Meanwhile, the main force heading to the fifth basement level had discovered the body of the murdered researcher and the blood-stained five-star robe, and was chasing after Leng Ran towards the staircase where he was.

Leng Ran heard a dense throng of footsteps behind her and, forgetting all about touching her equipment, activated her mental network detection. She saw that the guards who had been stationed on the first floor were now surrounding her.

We can't get surrounded; we must escape quickly!

As Leng Ran ascended rapidly, he unleashed all his available mental energy, unleashing a mental shock on the guards upstairs. This caused them to become briefly dizzy, and by the time they reacted, Leng Ran had already pierced their hearts with a pistol.

Similarly, due to overuse of mental energy, Leng Ran felt a headache and some dizziness. She took two deep breaths and continued to rush forward.

The export is just around the corner!

He coldly jumped off the spiral staircase, pulled out two unidentified grenades he had taken, pulled the pin on the wristband and threw them at the pursuers below the stairs, then rushed out of the base's main gate without looking back.

Three seconds later, a huge explosion occurred, and the base collapsed layer by layer. Using the cold strength of the metal mechanical legs, he ran with all his might and finally escaped the blast radius with a few rolls just as the heat wave was about to engulf the corners of his clothes.

"Hiss... Is this really the power of a grenade?" Looking at the gradually collapsing base, Leng Ran gasped.

She initially thought it was just a matter of blowing up a staircase to bury people inside, but she never expected that the entire base would almost completely collapse. The level of technological development of the Illuminati may far exceed her imagination.

Today's mission is twofold: first, to gather internal intelligence; and second, to indirectly demonstrate my abilities to the Illuminati, paving the way for becoming a candidate.

So Leng Ran deliberately purchased metal mechanical legs from Layton Technology, which was under the influence of the Illuminati, leaving them some clues. Unexpectedly, this led to the destruction of their entire base.

"Yangon, will the Illuminati just kill me?" Leng Ran looked at the sea of ​​fire before him and swallowed hard.

It seems like we went too far.

Yangon: "We are currently researching similar questions for Her Highness the Princess... Here are some replies from netizens:"

Leng Ran became somewhat interested: "How so?"

Yangon said emotionlessly, "Brother, run! Your life is more important!"

Leng Ran: I'd like to run away!

"Fine, just report the situation to Zhao Fox truthfully, especially about the human experimentation." Leng Ran felt a pang of sadness thinking of the boy who died in front of her.

But she also knows that she is not yet capable of protecting others, and she herself may not even see the sun rise tomorrow.

Unable to determine the number and location of the experimental subjects, and with her own life in danger, she could no longer investigate or rescue them. She could only report the situation and see how Zhao Fox would handle it.

He calmly burned the robe, removed the prosthetic leg, folded and stored it away, packed his belongings, and returned to the Blake family home as if nothing had happened.

Blake was too busy with the cooperation to pay attention to Leng Ran, so Leng Ran was respectfully welcomed into the room by the old servant, served with good food and drink, and then rested comfortably in the guest room.
