Chapter 688: Chimera
After Gaia unlocked the door, she slipped in and was stunned to see countless operating tables filling the vast hall.
On top of the operating tables, countless people were tied with metal locks on their wrists and ankles. Beside the operating tables, several machines showing their vital signs were beeping.
She walked toward the nearest table and saw a bald girl, not older than 13 years old, with a pale face, tied to the table. Her body was connected to the machines with cables. On her forehead, there was a scar left by surgery.
As if noticing its Host’s confusion, Gaia said, "Host, there are 2 crystal cores planted inside this girl’s brain."
The moment Jiao Lizhi heard her system’s words, she knew that the crystal cores inside the girl were artificially planted.
Under normal circumstances, the ability-users’ crystal cores were only formed after their death. But this was a very rare case, as most ability-users died before the crystal core was formed, thus scattering the energy and leaving nothing behind.
As for zombies, they were already living dead, so the moment they advanced into Level One, the crystal core would form naturally.
This was also the reason why mutant plant and mutant animal crystal cores contained purer energy, since their crystal cores were formed while they were alive.
Just thinking about the pain this young girl underwent during the process of planting the crystal core made her frown deeply. After a long silence, she raised her hands and took everything into her space, leaving nothing but the cold, empty room behind.
This time, she placed these people in the grassland area near the house. Since she also took the machines, she didn’t forget to take the generators.
Unlike the solar system generator, the generator used by the facility to generate electricity used crystal cores as the energy source. She had a lot of crystal cores in her space and was able to support these machines.
After she added more crystal cores to the generators, she finally left area B and went to the main area of the laboratory.
When she arrived, Jiao Lizhi noticed that the number of guards in this area was doubled compared to other areas. Not only that, but she also saw that a researcher needs to undergo several inspections before she is allowed to enter the area.
With this level of security, it would be hard for her to sneak into the main area without alerting the guards. While she was trying to find a way to sneak in, Gaia’s voice echoed in her mind.
"Host, you can activate the invincibility function of your combat suit. It will allow you to hide your energy, breath, and body temperature, and turn your body invincible. But the energy consumption will be doubled."
Jiao Lizhi was a little rich woman. She had a lot of sthanam crystals and crystal cores, so the higher energy consumption was not a problem for her.
When she saw another researcher coming, she whispered, "Gaia, activate the invincibility function."
As soon as her words fell, a layer of dim light enveloped her body. The next moment, she was no longer able to see her own body.
Jiao Lizhi didn’t linger and quickly followed behind the researcher. While he underwent the inspections, she stood a few steps away. Only after he was cleared and the door was opened did she sneak in.
When the door was locked, she already saw the situation in this area. Compared to area B, where the test subjects were unconscious, the people strapped to the operating tables were awake.
While the researcher drilled a hole into the back of their heads, they were wide awake. The sound of people screaming and crying in pain echoed through the vast area.
Witnessing the cruelty of the experiments, Jiao Lizhi felt a chill run down her spine and her blood turned cold.
Noticing the huge fluctuation in its Host’s emotions, Gaia activated the support function. The next second, a small needle pierced through her skin, and 2 drops of liquid were injected into her blood vein.
As soon as the liquid entered her bloodstream, Jiao Lizhi’s emotions slowly stabilized, and she regained her composure.
She felt the sting of the needle and knew that it was Gaia who helped her just now. If she had lost her composure, she wasn’t sure what she would have done. Fortunately, she regained her senses and avoided alerting the enemies.
If she wanted to help these people, she had to lure the tiger from the mountain first.
With this thought, she gave them a glance before she went to check the other areas first. Inside area A, there was not only a vast hall where the researchers conducted their experiments but also countless rooms where they detained the test subjects to observe their conditions.
Perhaps due to the strict inspections and tight security outside, there were no guards appointed to guard this area. With Gaia hacking the surveillance cameras and the system, along with the minimap, she could open the doors and take away the test subjects.
Unlike the chimeras locked in area D, most test subjects in this area were mutants with a DNA merging process above 75%. Besides some small changes in their body parts, they still looked like humans.
Looking at them, Jiao Lizhi recalled Fu Guai’s appearance when he was first caught by her. Thinking about his changes, she asked, "Gaia, can they regain their consciousness if they stay in my space?"
This time, Gaia gave her a positive answer. "It’s possible for them to regain their consciousness as long as they can complete their mutation process."
"Is there any way to help them complete the mutation process?"
"The mutation process requires a large amount of energy to hasten the process and protect their organs from damage. Besides the energy requirement, the condition of the subject’s body is also important. Most of the subjects in this place are lacking nutrients, and it’s detrimental to the mutation process."
After she heard this, Jiao Lizhi nodded and asked again, "Is there any food or drink that can help them recover their health?"
