Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Nodding, Dr. Hu pointed toward the door and nodded.

"Then let's go. The place for blood sampling is..."

"I'll take them there. I have nothing to do right now, so it's no big deal to just lead the way."

The cloaked woman was standing up from her leaning position, stretched herself, looked at Kainuo and the other man with interest again, and then walked to the door first.

"Oh, right." As if remembering something, she suddenly turned around and looked at Dr. Hu, "Don't forget what I just told you. Okay, let's go."

Keno and Bianca looked at each other, then quickly stood up and followed.

……

"Thank you so much."

Bianca came out of the blood collection point first. When she saw the woman in the cloak standing in front of the door, her eyes lit up and she hurried forward to thank her.

"Don't be so polite. I just happened to be free at the moment and helped you out. It's nothing."

The cloaked woman waved her hand with an expressionless face, as if she didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"No, no matter what, the fact that you helped us is true, and that deserves our gratitude," Bianca said seriously. "Besides, neither Kainuo nor I have experience in hospitals. If you hadn't offered to help, we might have wasted quite a bit of time. After all, this hospital looks huge."

"Oh, maybe."

The woman in the cloak had no intention of continuing the conversation with Bianca. She just shrugged and said nothing more.

I can't keep the conversation going at all...

Bianca rubbed her temples, feeling quite helpless.

Bianca was very familiar with the structure of Shencheng Medicine. In addition, the strange clothes on the other party made it clear that he was not a doctor's, and he seemed very familiar with Dr. Hu. Bianca instinctively suspected him.

She had not forgotten the fundamental purpose of their visit to Shencheng Pharmaceutical. Now that she saw a guy with strange behavior, she naturally did not want to let him go.

As a result, the other party was completely unmoved.

It would be better if Rita was around or if Keno wasn't in such a bad state. She is really not good at asking questions.

"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet. Would you mind telling me?" Bianca's eyes suddenly lit up, and she scratched her head and asked, "It always feels weird not knowing your name."

Without answering Bianca's question, the cloaked woman raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a slightly strange look.

"What's wrong?"

Bianca frowned, looking slightly confused by the stare.

"Nothing, I just find it quite interesting." The cloaked woman raised her lips, her voice tinged with a hint of teasing. "Ordinary people wouldn't even think of talking to me or thanking me when they see me like this. If they don't just stand aside timidly, you're considered quite thoughtful."

"By the way, my name is Natasha, a very common name."

"Natasha? Sounds like you're Russian?"

Kainuo, who had just finished drawing blood, raised his eyebrows and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Yes, let's just say so." Natasha sighed helplessly, "Also, can you please stop asking questions? After the blood test, I'll take you two straight to the hospital."

"Uh wait a minute, I still have a question."

As if he didn't notice the impatience on the other person's face, Kainuo continued to ask:

"How long will it take for our test results to come out? We have to stay in the hospital for observation for a few weeks?"

As if she didn't expect Keno to suddenly ask a serious question, Natasha paused for a few seconds as if to organize her words, and then slowly spoke.

"...First of all, you are the only one who needs to be observed, not her. She is just accompanying the bed."

"Secondly, although I am the one leading you, I know nothing about medical matters. Maybe two or three days, or two or three weeks—who knows?"

Shaking her cloak, Natasha waved her hand and set off first.

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask the doctor or nurse later. I'm just a guide. Hurry up and catch up. I have something urgent to attend to. I'll leave after I drop you off at the inpatient ward."

Kaino blinked and exchanged a glance with Bianca.

"Ok."

……

After sending the two to the ward and comforting them, Natasha sighed softly and returned to Dr. Hu's room where she was at the beginning, as if she were familiar with the place.

But there was no one inside.

Natasha frowned, locked the door, and walked behind Dr. Hu's desk. After groping on the wall for a while, she found a button and pressed it lightly.

Without a sound or tremor, the previously tightly sealed wall suddenly smoothed out on both sides. A door wide enough for two people appeared, revealing a clear view of Dr. Hu and his complex laboratory equipment across from him.

But what was rather strange was that Dr. Hu was wearing a wolf-head mask on his head... or was it a dog's head?

"Heh, I thought you would take the blood of those two people to your precious private laboratory for testing, instead of this makeshift lab."

With a light laugh, Natasha stepped inside, her high heels making a clicking sound as they hit the alloy floor.

"Oh, you're back?"

Hearing the other party's voice, Dr. Hu did not turn around but raised a test tube full of blood in his hand with shining eyes.

"Perhaps you're right. I'll take it to that lab to have it retested. This vial of blood is amazing! Who is that Bianca?"

"You wouldn't ask that if you checked the email Gray Snake sent you... But you said Bianca?"

Natasha raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes.

"Heh, who would stare at their mailbox every day to see if that guy has sent any emails?"

Dr. Hu waved his hand, his words full of disdain.

"Also, it's definitely Bianca. The fact that the blood of that man named Kaino can neutralize Honkai energy is indeed quite rare, but Bianca's blood has more than just these properties. Its Honkai energy resistance actually increases with the amount of Honkai energy it's exposed to. Do you know what this means?!"

Dr. Hu spoke in an excited tone, but Natasha just frowned and did not respond.

"Forget it, it seems you don't understand. Anyway, just understand that she is very special - she will be a treasure for all mankind!"

"Right!" Suddenly, Doctor Hu's eyes lit up. "Raven, why don't we just capture these two? If we use them for experiments, the Stigma Project will definitely go smoothly."

Chapter 130 Secret Talk

"Jackal, if you had read Gray Snake's email, you wouldn't have said such a thing. If you want to die, don't take me with you."

Natasha, or Raven, sneered, picked up a tablet computer next to Dr. Hu, swiped on it a few times, and handed the two files displayed on it to the Jackal.

"Take a good look at it. I believe you will change your mind after reading it."

"What can change your mind? It's just two people, how can it be so rebellious...huh?!"

The jackal under the mask widened his eyes and looked at the information from the two people above in disbelief.

"That Bianca is the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, Yulandel? Wait...that Keno is the backup?"

"That's right." Raven nodded. "Thank me now. If I hadn't happened to be here with you, you wouldn't have missed out on two precious blood samples, and you wouldn't even have realized the danger was approaching."

"Wait, why are the two of them acting together? Isn't the Sky Destiny headquarters a million miles away from Saint Freya? And they even came to Shencheng Medical together... Have we been discovered?"

There was still a hint of realization in Jackal's voice; she had not yet fully accepted this setting.

"How many days have you missed checking your email? That anti-entropy Cocolia has been apprehended, and Destiny has traced her funding chain to Sky City. They're probably investigating our base there—which is right here."

"Hasn't that been discovered?"

The jackal widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and spoke with an unprecedentedly decisive tone:

"Since it's already too late, why don't we just go all out and run away?"

"Ha, I thought you would suggest arresting them both directly, but it seems I was overthinking it."

Raven's words were full of teasing, causing the Jackal to glare at her.

"I'm not stupid. One is the strongest Valkyrie of destiny, and the other is the holder of the stigma [Infinity]. I'd be crazy to choose to go against them."

"I'm relieved that you have this kind of self-awareness. At least the World Serpent's investment in Sky City has not been in vain. I also hope to live a peaceful life for the next few years, and when I save enough money, I can buy that island and retire directly."

World Serpent's funding for research was substantial, and overall, it wasn't very abundant. If this newly established branch were to fail, her salary, as a relevant executive, would inevitably be cut.

After chastising the Jackal, Raven continued, "And don't worry, I'm sure they haven't confirmed that this is the World Serpent's base yet. Otherwise, we would have been surrounded by the Valkyries of Destiny, or even tied up by them."

"They're probably just here to investigate. We just need to fool them. It might take a lot of effort, but it's not impossible."

"Of course, compared to fooling them, we're more likely to be discovered. I suggest you move your valuables away quickly, lest you end up becoming a victim of fate."

"Huh, of course I know that."

The jackal snorted in dissatisfaction, then looked at the two blood samples beside him and chuckled again.

"But since they haven't confirmed anything's wrong here, there's no need for us to evacuate immediately—wouldn't that just give us away?"

"As one of the designers of the Shencheng Medical Sky Dome Branch, I am confident in the concealment of those laboratories. They will definitely not be able to find them."

Raven was stunned when he heard this, and pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly.

You just said you weren't stupid, but now you're so proud of yourself?

"Don't tell me you have any other means prepared that can prevent or even counter them with adequate preparation."

"Of course not. I'm just a researcher, not a prophet."

The Jackal shrugged.

Raven breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It seems that my salary is saved.

Suddenly the Jackal laughed.

"But God is on our side, so why shouldn't we be more prepared?"

Raven's heart, which had just been released, quickly rose again.

She stared at the jackal with wide eyes, her scarlet eyes full of disbelief.

"Are you really crazy?!"

"Heh, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you about the researchers."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the Jackal's voice was full of confidence.

"Anyway, I can definitely use their miraculous blood to create a potion that can neutralize the Houkai energy in their bodies. I already have an idea for it, and their blood will help me complete it quickly."

"So what if they are powerful warriors? They still rely on Honkai energy to fight. Without Honkai energy, they are just lambs to be slaughtered in front of our mechas."

"Aren't you worried about their countermeasures?"

Although the other party looked very confident, Raven couldn't help but remind him.

"Heh, without Honkai energy, what other countermeasures can they have? Why don't you say that there is a small world in their bodies that can provide them with powers other than Honkai energy? Stop joking, okay?"

The jackal chuckled lightly, his words full of disdain.

"After all, it's still uncertain how strong they are. What if the so-called strongest Valkyrie of Destiny is just a hype from Destiny?"

"As for the holder of the stigmata, if that stigmata is truly as miraculous as the records state, then why didn't Gray Snake let him be the Lord? On the contrary, I remember Gray Snake always spoke of him with disdain."

"Are you sure that's disdain? Is there something wrong with your understanding of emotions? It should clearly be... Never mind."

Waving his hands, Raven didn't want to continue this topic.

As if to comfort him, the jackal patted the raven's shoulder.

"Don't worry. I won't take the initiative to attack. At most, I'll just set a trap. If they don't investigate further, everything will be fine. But if they start trouble on their own..."

With a slightly gloomy smile, the Jackal stretched out one hand and then slowly clenched it into a fist.

"Then we'll catch the turtle in the jar!"

"I hope your confidence is not unfounded."

With a slightly tired sigh, Raven adjusted his hood and turned to leave.

"Oh, by the way, let me ask you something."

Suddenly remembering something, the raven turned and looked at the jackal.

"That sibling test you mentioned, how long does it usually take for the results to come out?"

"Huh? You're really interested in this? How could a Destiny's strongest Valkyrie and a student of Saint Freya be siblings? Do you think this is some melodramatic idol drama? This is clearly an excuse for them to establish a connection with Shencheng Medicine."

The jackal's voice was filled with disdain.

Raven frowned upon hearing this.
