While Huimao was driving those experimental animals crazy, other than the people who came over to report to Glar, there were also a few communication requests from Glar. It was probably the project manager of the experimental zone who came over to complain again. Glar knew what they were going to ask for next even if he didn't listen to them.
Hmph!
Glar actually didn't care about the project over there at all. As one of the very few people who knew the truth about the existence of this experimental base, he naturally knew very well what it was.
The eighth experimental zone was a cover. Just as Silin had guessed, Glar's reaction after hearing that the experimental zone had failed again was enough to confirm that he didn't care about those things from Glar's current expression and indifferent actions. The fact that Glar was in charge of the third experimental zone was just a facade. On the surface, Glar was the vice team leader of the third experimental zone and the overall person in charge of the entire experimental base. When the other project team leaders looked down on Glar, this useless paratrooper, behind their backs, did Glar ever look them in the eye?
Glar took out a few documents. He would do something he thought was more meaningful when he was listening to those boring old fellows discuss boring topics later. He still had a lot of experimental data in his hands that he hadn't analyzed yet. He didn't have the time to listen to those trash's boasting!
What Glar didn't know was that three people had snuck into this experimental zone that didn't take up much space and wasn't valued on the surface right after he left the third experimental zone.
Feng Haicao was powerful. There were a few times when he 'floated' right over the heads of some researchers who were rushing in and out of the lab without being discovered. When it came to stealth, Ci Jincheng was slightly weaker than Silin and Feng Haicao. However, the technology he possessed made up for this weakness. Ci Jincheng could always find some small equipment on him to help him get through any difficulties.
There were a lot of entrances to this experimental zone, but they were prepared beforehand. Adding on to the fact that there weren't that many workers on the surface, Silin and the others quickly advanced into the third experimental zone.
There were many times when machines could increase efficiency and provide an absolute advantage in many aspects, but these were rigid machines after all. Some of the verification measures on the entrances had been cleverly broken by Silin and Ci Jincheng.
"Twenty minutes." Silin gestured towards Ci Jincheng and Feng Haicao. This was the result of Huimao's estimation based on the situation on the other side. The exact time should not be too far off. As long as there were no accidents, Silin and the rest had twenty minutes to explore the secrets of the third experimental zone.
Glayer would not leave this research area for too long. From the current information, other than the high-level meetings in this research base, other small meetings and unexpected matters would not take more than an hour. After that, Glayer would quickly return to the third research area.
This also meant that there was some kind of experiment going on in the third experimental region, and Glair couldn't leave for too long.
"How is it?" Silin combined the information he had gathered with the information Ci Jincheng had gathered. Feng Haicao stood guard outside. If someone came over, he would give a warning.
"There's something wrong with this room." Ci Jincheng pointed at a place on the detailed distribution map they had pieced together. It was Glaier's office.
"Let's go and take a look." Silin sensed a lot of unusual machine language around him. These machine languages were invisible to normal people. Only Czedow and Huimao could see them. The place that Ci Jincheng was pointing at, which was Glaier's office, obviously had more mechanical speech frequencies that did not match with the surroundings than other places.
There were no soldiers guarding outside Glaier's office. In fact, there were basically no guards inside this base, especially the core area of the experiment. The soldiers were stationed at the periphery or in separate areas. Inside the laboratory, there were more machines and scanners than anything else.
There was no AI system here. It was unknown whether it was because Glaier didn't trust AI systems or they couldn't create a trustworthy AI system. In short, this enormous base did not have an overall AI control center. Control was still in the hands of humans. This was good news for Silin.
AI systems were much harder to deal with than other systems, and without such a control center, it only took Silin and Czedow half a minute to enter Glaier's office.
Although cracking the password to Glaier's office in half a minute was already inconceivable to many people, they had already spent one-fortieth of their time within the time limit. Including the time they used to come here, they only had eighteen minutes and twenty-six seconds left.
Glaier had protected this place very well. Without his personal permission, he would never allow anyone to enter.
After they entered, Feng Haicao and Ci Jincheng began searching for some important information and secrets in this place.
The equipment Ci Jincheng carried couldn't display the situation in this place, and he couldn't discover the secrets hidden here. This office was protected by a very complicated defense net. It was possible to crack it, but Glaier would probably be back by the time Ci Jincheng cracked it.
"Silin, what do we do …" Ci Jincheng turned around and was about to ask Silin when he noticed that Silin had walked next to Glaier's chair.
After looking around, Silin found a button on his handlebar and pressed it. A light screen popped up.
"Password?"
Ci Jincheng was familiar with this. He had more contact with some of the equipment in the military, so he knew about them. He quickly cracked the password.
After he keyed in the password, a hole opened up in the floor, and the chair sank. Silin, Ci Jincheng, and Feng Haicao jumped down one after another and stacked on top of each other. Silin sat on the chair, Ci Jincheng stepped on Silin's shoulders, and Feng Haicao stepped on Ci Jincheng's shoulders. After all, this place was limited.
Beneath this research base, there was a secret underground laboratory. This laboratory was very well hidden, and there were only twelve researchers here. However, all twelve of them were the most outstanding researchers in the Sixth Division in this field, and they were all trustworthy. Those who did not trust them would be forced to come over through forceful means. Two of the older ones had influence in this field that was comparable to Mo Heng's influence in mechanical engineering. It was obvious how much effort the Sixth Army had put into this secret research.
This underground laboratory was almost completely sealed off. These twelve researchers ate, drank, defecated, and slept here. If they wanted to leave, they would have to complete this research. Of course, Silin wasn't optimistic about what the Sixth Army would do to them after they were done.
Although some of them were forced to do it, most of them did it willingly. They were very interested in this. When Glaier and the Sixth Army's commander, Kaqila, told them this news, they had been conducting this research with a fanatical attitude. They didn't think that the thing that was rumored to have been wiped out twenty years ago was still here.
"It really is the Nightmare Tapir!"
Although he didn't see a sample of the Nightmare Tapir, Ci Jincheng was sure that this place was researching the Nightmare Tapir from some data and analysis diagrams. After all, he had analyzed similar data for a long time.
"They're trying to activate a Nightmare Tapir." Silin also noticed something. Apart from being perfectly preserved, the Nightmare Tapir that he could try to activate was rather healthy as well.
"They're 55% done with the activation! If they're given a little more time, I'm afraid they'll be the second to complete the activation, "Ci Jincheng frowned as he looked at the information he stole.
They found a corner to hide after coming out from where the chair landed and began stealing the information. The amount of information they obtained was huge. The research here was progressing quickly. It was all thanks to Glaier. If he didn't infiltrate the core of Miracle directly, he definitely wouldn't have obtained this information and a complete and healthy Nightmare Tapir.
"However, there's part of the information that we can't steal unless we're close enough to get the information from the devices."
Ci Jincheng was troubled. Time was tight, and he had no better way to get the information. However, they couldn't get close to the place themselves. The core laboratory definitely had the sample and the most important information. It was indeed worrying that they couldn't go there despite knowing that.
It was because there were guard bugs there!
There were some tiny bugs on the wall of the tunnel leading to the core laboratory. These bugs had a sharp sense of smell. They could identify changes in the environment based on the changes in the smell in the environment. These guard bugs were specially designed to deal with strangers. Even if they could avoid the mechanical alarms, it would be hard to fool these extremely sharp guard bugs. The smell signal could be transmitted to their brains faster and the abnormal signal was quickly transmitted to the light plates they were attached to. Once a stranger went there and was discovered by the guard bugs, a beam of light would cut the intruder into pieces.
"I'll go." After Silin finished speaking, a layer of black armor covered his body. Then, the armor disappeared. Silin, who was wrapped in the armor, disappeared as well.
He was invisible, and it was a different kind of invisible. At least Ci Jincheng, who was next to him, couldn't detect him with the device.
Silin followed a researcher who came out to relieve himself. The guards didn't notice Silin. This made Ci Jincheng and Feng Haicao let out a sigh of relief. But then, they became nervous. They didn't know where Silin was now. Did he start passing through the tunnel that the guard bugs were attached to?
After Silin entered this busy area, he walked towards the core laboratory. He was also observing the laboratory.
This place took up a very large area. There were several large laboratories, and each laboratory had their own job. They were busy with the part they needed to decipher.
Other than the complete specimen that was currently being activated, there were also some incomplete specimens similar to the ones in Ci Jincheng's hands. However, it was obviously much easier for them to attack the parts after understanding the whole specimen.
Looking at the emotions shown by the researchers wearing sterile clothes through their eye masks, Silin knew that their research was progressing smoothly.
The large laboratories were all busy, and there were even some mechanical assistants helping them. However, there was no one at the core laboratory. Probably only Glyer could go there.
When he stepped into the tunnel that led to the core laboratory, Silin's footsteps slowed down. He observed the reaction of the guard bugs. Silin was careful with every step he took. Although he believed that the armor could cover his entire body, that even normal dead cells wouldn't fall here, and that his scent would be sealed, no one knew if there would be an accident, even if the possibility of an accident like this was only one in a hundred thousand.
As Silin moved slowly on this side, Ci Jincheng and Feng Haicao's hearts were in their throats. They were ready to act in the event of an emergency. However, as the seconds passed, there were no abnormalities or alarms.
Right now, Silin must be in the tunnel. The fact that the guard bugs didn't give off any alarms meant that Silin's method was working.
On the other hand, Feng Haicao was puzzled. Why would Silin have such a high level item? How did Silin have something that even the military might not have? He was just a Hunter. Didn't a Hunter's techniques all be bought with money?
Right now, Silin didn't care what other people thought. He was already close to the area where the guard bugs were distributed. The best range of detection for the guard bugs was the entrance that Silin had come from. However, even though Silin had walked for such a long time in the best range of detection, it was inevitable that his nerves would be highly tensed when he came into close contact with these guard bugs.
One step, two steps …
Silin slowly moved from three meters away from the guard bugs to two meters, one meter, and then to a few centimeters away …
When he was at the closest distance, the guard bugs still didn't react. This made Silin let out a sigh of relief. However, when he looked at the guard bugs, Silin felt a little strange. He couldn't tell why, but he just felt that … something was wrong.
After passing through the area where the guard bugs were, Silin arrived at the entrance of the core laboratory. He greeted Ci Jincheng and entered the laboratory when no one was paying attention to him.
In the laboratory, the most eye-catching thing was the two-meter tall cylindrical nutrition tank that was filled with liquid. There was a tiny thing inside the nutrition tank. It was impossible to see it if one didn't look closely. However, there were all kinds of tubes connected to external instruments and an activator that was shrunk all over the place where the tiny thing stayed. Bubbles would form and float up from time to time.
That tiny thing was the Nightmare Tapir. Hundreds of deadly viruses had been implanted into this tiny thing, and there might be even more that could be implanted after it was activated. This tiny thing was like a terrifying virus source. It could carry these extremely dangerous deadly viruses to a certain place and release them.
This was just one Nightmare Tapir that was not fully activated, so it would not be lethal. However, it was said that 'Miracle' had successfully activated a mother and cultivated this mother to split into more 'Nightmare Tapirs', which then continued to split …
An activated Nightmare Tapir was terrifying enough. One could only imagine what would happen if all the 'Nightmare Tapirs' mobilized and released the viruses at the same time in all the Sectors of the League of Stars.
There was something scarier than viruses in this world. There was actually a living thing that could withstand so many deadly viruses at the same time without being affected. No wonder Chamounidin would affirm the importance of parasites back then. Chamounidin might have discovered similar parasites back then, but those parasites were not as terrifying as the Nightmare Tapir …
Hmm?
No!
The Nightmare Tapir back then was also modified. After modification and targeted breeding, it became the Nightmare Tapir today. So, what kind of parasite did Chamounidin see back then? Could it be the original Nightmare Tapir's embryonic form? Or was it some close relative?
Silin had a great memory. He could clearly remember the documents that he had read. However, Silin did not remember seeing anything similar in the information. There was nothing similar in Chamounidin's diary and other related records.
Silin squinted. Perhaps some people were not telling the truth and did not take out everything that belonged to Chamounidin!
The device in his hand indicated that Silin had copied all the information on the device.
It had been 14 minutes until now.
He had to leave as soon as possible.
Cillin erased some of his traces and ensured that he wouldn't be discovered by Gleir. Then, he began to retreat. Silin was still on high alert as he retreated. He would not let his guard down just because he had avoided the Bug Guards. It was always good to be more alert.
When he finally returned to Ci Jincheng and Feng Haicao's hiding spot, Cillin passed the device to copy the information to Ci Jincheng. This action caused Feng Haicao's trust in Cillin to grow a little higher, because Cillin did not have the slightest intention of keeping it for himself. He handed the device to Ci Jincheng without hesitation.
In reality, Feng Haicao did not know that Silin had already read the information copied in the device a long time ago. However, he did not read it directly from this device. Instead, he read it from the devices in the lab.
After obtaining the information they wanted, the trio quickly retreated. The trio was very careful not to leave any traces or scents on the chairs. Even if there were traces of someone sitting on the seats, they were restored to their original state.
It had been exactly 20 minutes when they left the third lab area.
Now that they were done with what they had to do, Silin called Huimao back.
While Wheeze was retreating, it actually caused Glayer to suffer a little. It had tampered with a mechanical sampler a little, and when Glayer was passing through it, one of the sampler's supporting arms suddenly popped out and caught Glayer off guard. Unprepared, Glair's abdomen was hit hard. He felt as if his organs were about to split open. However, it was a good thing that the machine was still a bit high. If it was any lower, it would have hit his family jewels. That would be a real pain in the ass for Glair.
Seeing his results, Huimao grinned and retreated. Silin was already preparing to leave this base.
Holding his stomach, Glair returned to the third lab area with a cold expression. He lay on the chair and used the healing device to treat the injuries caused by the attack just now. At the same time, he checked some things out of habit.
Suddenly, Glair paused. After confirming again, a strange smile appeared on his face.
