Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"Just... Is this enough information on her computer? Do we need to search anywhere else?"

"use."

After unplugging the USB drive that had copied all the data from the computer, Kainuo took a deep breath.

"This sacred city's medical center should have a basement. There should be more clues there... But before you go, I want you to be mentally prepared. The scene might be a little difficult for you to accept."

Chapter 135 Split up

"basement?"

Bianca frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head heavily.

"No, I specifically memorized the internal structure diagram of Shencheng Pharmaceutical during the day, and there doesn't seem to be any basement there."

"If there really was something wrong with the basement, how could it be shown on the external map? Even Shencheng Pharmaceutical's own internal maps might not have a marking for the basement... This kind of information is best kept in mind."

After quickly turning off the computer, Kainuo hid the two of them again.

"But if that's the case, how can we get down?"

Bianca tapped her head, her tone questioning.

"How about I just punch through the floor and let us down?"

Kainuo couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Forget it. If we miss, not only will we attract the robots' attention, but we'll also probably end up with nothing."

"And if we're just looking for that basement, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just..."

Keno paused mid-sentence, his eyes flickering as he looked at Bianca.

"Only what?"

Bianca frowned when she saw that Keno stopped and didn't say anything else.

She hates people who stop talking mid-sentence.

"Nothing, I just had a new idea." Kainuo came back to his senses and shook his head. "No matter what, since Shencheng Pharmaceutical is in the basement, there must be a passage on the first floor - no matter how hidden it is."

"Although it might be a bit rash to do so on enemy territory, I suggest that we split up and quickly search the first floor of Shencheng Medical. After all, we never know when the World Serpents will discover our infiltration, and time is of the essence."

"But if I do that, I probably won't be able to continue providing you with concealment, and your actions will be greatly hindered."

Bianca was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Don't worry about me. Even without your help, I'm still very good at hiding my tracks."

"And your performance is among the best even among A-rank Valkyries, so I'm not worried about you getting into danger. It's just..."

Bianca paused suddenly, a hint of confusion in her voice.

"This is indeed very efficient, but if one of us gets trapped, the other won't be able to provide assistance. After all, we can't rule out the possibility that the other side has devices that interfere with the signal, so normal communication methods may be ineffective."

To put it simply, they were worried that I would get into danger and get caught.

Kainuo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and reveal a smile. The concern from his sister temporarily dispelled the haze that had risen in his heart after seeing those logs.

"Don't worry, I have corresponding countermeasures."

Under the cover of power, he directly rubbed out two wristbands and threw one of them at Bianca.

"Hmm! What is this?"

Bianca was startled by the wristband that suddenly appeared and flew towards her. She caught it subconsciously, frowned, and then observed it carefully.

If you only look at the appearance and feel, it is not a creation of destiny.

"I asked a friend to make a communication wristband with vital sign monitoring before I came here. It was just a precautionary measure, and I actually didn't expect to use it."

Bianca's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but complain as she put it on.

"...Are you Doraemon?"

You know, even her own adjutant, Rita, who calls herself the perfect maid, was not so well prepared.

But it should also be due to the other party's portable device?

Perhaps after returning, I should suggest to the Bishop that he purchase a batch of this equipment from the Far East Branch.

"Obviously not."

Kaino exhaled and fastened the wristband around his left wrist.

Fortunately, Xier said that the bracelet was not ready yet, so she didn’t wear it on herself, otherwise I would have nowhere to wear it.

"Okay, enough joking. Time is running out, so let's hurry up." As he spoke, Kayno withdrew his power and showed his left wrist to Bianca.

"If the light is green, it means the other person is in a stable condition. If it is yellow, it means the other person is in a life-threatening condition."

"A red light means the person is injured. The darker the red, the more serious the injury. As for a black light..."

Keno paused, shook his head, and laughed lightly.

He looked at Bianca, his emerald eyes revealing an unprecedented seriousness.

"I won't talk about that. Don't worry, I won't let the lights go dark."

"Yeah, me too."

Making the same assurance, Bianca nodded solemnly.

She stood up first, turned her body and walked quickly to the door.

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention it."

After a pause, Bianca turned away, a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

"For the sake of efficiency, you, Kaino, will search the first floor hall to the left, and I will search to the right until we meet."

"Okay," Kainuo nodded. "If anyone finds the entrance to the basement, please contact them by phone. Of course, to avoid attracting the guards with this call, I suggest you turn your phone to silent mode in advance."

"no problem."

Nodding, Bianca did as Keno said and slowly opened the door.

"I'll be leaving now, see you later."

Looking at the door slowly closing, Kainuo let out a light breath and the smile on his face slowly faded.

He silently took out the battery from the phone, then found a dead battery and put it in.

From the beginning, he had no intention of exploring the basement with Bianca.

After all, according to the description in the previous work log, it is inevitable that there are many experimental subjects stored in the basement.

Although as the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny who frequently went on missions, she must have seen similar scenes many times, but as a brother's subconscious protection for his sister, he did not want Bianca to see those things.

And going to a laboratory full of experimental subjects with his sister to look for something... To be honest, he was a little PTSD about it.

"So I'll just do these things by myself, and it's really not convenient for Bianca to know how to find the way."

As Kaino finished his words, the Honkai energy within him began to rapidly flow and surge. Countless azure lines formed in the air and stretched out, eventually forming a massive cross.

With the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, a black cross with golden trim emerged from the illusion into reality. Several spiked golden chains hovered in the air, encircling it, gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

"Judas," Kayno said, imitating Theresa, placing one hand on the top of the cross, his eyes gleaming, "track down the underground area that contains several Houkai energy carriers, and show me the way there."

Like soldiers receiving orders from their superiors, all the chains instantly straightened, the spikes on the top rotated once in the air, and then rushed out the door in an instant.

Chapter 136 Underground Experiment Hall

Judas is really useful.

Flying low to the ground on the also hidden Judas, Kainuo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

No wonder my aunt likes to rely on Judas for everything she does. Who doesn’t love this universal key of God?

However, my understanding of the Oath of Judah is still relatively superficial. It seems that I will have to ask my aunt for more advice in the future.

If nothing else, we must at least clarify the hundred uses of the so-called Judas.

Just as Keno was daydreaming, Judas under his seat suddenly slowed down and finally stopped completely.

A huge and heavy double metal door stood motionless in front of him. All of Judah's chains were pressed against the gap in the door and he tried his best to get inside.

Kainuo was stunned and quickly waved his hand to stop Judas from continuing to destroy the gate.

He doesn't have to compensate for the property losses of Shencheng Pharmaceutical, but it would be disastrous if the alarm was triggered by destroying the gate.

Fortunately, the amount of Honkai energy he provided to Judas was not much, otherwise something would definitely go wrong during this moment of distraction.

"But I really didn't expect that the door to the basement would be on the first floor. I thought it would be in a more secluded place."

Although the medical inspection team in Shencheng was heavily guarded, Kainuo had originally thought that the gate would be in a very hidden place.

After patting Judas under him, Keno jumped down from above, and Judas' figure slowly faded and then disappeared.

Glancing at the elevator button on the side of the door, Kainuo curled his lips and pressed his right hand on the door.

There was a flash of lightning and the door opened immediately.

Looking at the dark and deep elevator shaft in front of him with only a ray of light at the end, Kainuo took a deep breath and then jumped down.

……

Only after personally visiting the underground area of ​​Shencheng Pharmaceutical did Kainuo truly understand how inaccurate his understanding of that work log was.

Located beneath the Shencheng Medical Building is not a basement for storing experimental subjects, but a hall that is far larger than the one beneath the Cathedral of St. Freya.

It seems that since they have already reached a secluded place, they don’t want to hide anymore. The facilities in this hall are no longer those concealed commercial devices on the ground.

A huge light-screen main control computer, a circular dome ceiling... many devices with technological content that are no less advanced than destiny are arranged in the center of this hall, like the bright moon in the sky.

However, what first attracted Kayno's attention were not these, but the densely packed experimental cabins surrounding the main control computer throughout the hall. Their number even far exceeded the laboratory where Destiny stored Kiana's copy.

The only difference from that laboratory was that most of the experimental chambers here were empty, with only a dozen or so containing pale experimental subjects suspended in the nutrient solution.

These are defective products abandoned by the laboratory owner because they were deemed no longer of research value and left here without being transported away.

Kayno remained silent, walked forward and stared quietly at one of the experimental subjects.

Judging from the development of her face alone, she should be a teenage girl, perhaps even about the same age as Xier.

However, her body lacked the flesh color expected of a child of her age. Pale white markings replaced her skin and covered her entire body. Scarlet lines oozed from her cheeks and spread to the joints of her right arm.

The distinctive human legs are no longer visible on the other person's body. The technologically advanced spider-like tentacles have replaced the other person's lower body and are firmly integrated with the other person's body. There are even several rubber wires protruding from the abdomen at the interface.

Although the approximate age of the person can be judged from the face, in fact, the face of the person has completely lost any trace of human nature. The black and red mechanical eye mask embedded in the face replaces the function of the person's eyes.

The most bizarre thing was the chaotic lines on the other person's chest that glowed red like a stigma, but a corner that seemed to have been wiped away revealed his true identity.

A failed experiment that turned into a dead body and then was transformed into a failure.

stab.

Kainuo half-closed his eyes, his right hand gently pressing against the outside of the experimental chamber. Frost penetrated the outer shell and poured continuously into the chamber, enveloping the dead girl before transforming into a massive block of solid ice that sank to the bottom of the chamber, ending her life completely.

Even though I've seen this happen many times, I still can't help but get angry...

With a light sigh, Keno withdrew his hand and turned to walk towards the main control computer.

After a brief hesitation, he inserted the cracked USB drive into the computer that was suspected to be the World Snake host. Perhaps because the cracking was a bit difficult, this time a cute-looking portrait of Bronya appeared in the center of the screen, gradually darkening from light to dark.

One second, two seconds... It didn't take long before the avatar was completely filled out. Countless documents appeared on the light screen and were continuously loaded into the USB drive.

Kaino raised his eyebrows slightly.

Bronya's hacking skills were somewhat outrageous, as she was able to hack into the system with just a USB drive.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

While downloading data, Kainuo's eyes kept jumping around the computer screen. Finally, he fixed his eyes and quickly grabbed the two files he had set his sights on.

The Stigmata Project and the investigation report on Keno Kaslana.

Needless to say, the Stigmata Project, just by looking at the name, can be associated with the stigmata-like patterns on the body of the young girl who died just now. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a method with a very high mortality rate.

only……

A surveillance report on yourself?

Kainuo rubbed his eyebrows with a strange look on his face.

Although Klein told him that she and the World Serpent were monitoring him, he still felt complicated when he saw this file.

Incidentally, it added fuel to the fire in his already boiling heart.
