Chapter 357 Deep Virtual Reality 185

"Sections P04, P07, and P12 in Zone S are experiencing unexplained interference, and the surveillance cameras are damaged. There is a suspected intrusion by unidentified personnel. Please request additional personnel from the Security Department."

Kono's cold, electronic voice echoed in the empty conference room, startling everyone and causing a hint of panic to appear on their faces. "Quick! Have the special task force arrived yet? Where are the Awakened from the security department?"

They are not short of money, so they also recruit awakened individuals as guards.

"Where's Professor Yun Jing? Tell her to activate the emergency devices! Sweep that intruder out of here!"

The higher-ups finally couldn't sit still any longer, but they didn't expect Xie Ning to be so fast. While the security guards were still on their way, she had already leaped to the top floor of the experimental base.

Raindrops hit her face, carrying a sour taste. Xie Ning sat down cross-legged, feeling somewhat exhausted, and the sound of falling echoed in her mind.

"Are you alright? I've noticed that your mental state is unstable."

"It's nothing, just a bit exhausted." Xie Ning took out a vial of energy and injected himself, his voice a little hoarse.

"Luo..." Xie Ning paused, then swallowed the words that were about to come out. She had to calm herself down and carry out the plan step by step. Today's events had undoubtedly brought her a great shock.

Human life is as worthless as grass.

Those in high positions are wolves, while those below them are flocks of sheep kept in captivity.

The rapid development of technology has changed social life. When she first arrived, she was cautious because everything here was far beyond her understanding. Although she was cautious, she still had aspirations for this society.

In every world she had experienced before, she and her partners at the forefront of technology had envisioned that if technology were advanced enough, people's living standards would be higher and their lives happier.

However, the deeper her understanding of the world became, the more her previous aspirations were shattered. High-tech society did not improve the living conditions or raise the living standards of most people.

The rich still stand at the top, while the poor can only look up. No, they may not even have time to look up, because they have to fill their time to maintain their survival in this world.

Even when survival is already so difficult, the sheep in the flock will still be eaten, in various ways.

Xie Ning sat on the rooftop railing, the coolness of the rain making her increasingly awake. The screen next to her flashed through pieces of information and photos, sent to her by Professor Yun Jing. At this moment, she didn't even care to think about why Professor Yun Jing chose to cooperate with her or the intentions behind her subsequent actions.

The strings of data in the documents seemed so cold, recording how a person combined with an alien creature. Their pain and screams were buried in cold numbers, death, evolution.

They only have two paths: few who evolve, and countless failed experiments that have piled up like frost-covered bones.

Why conduct such an experiment?

Xie Ning didn't have such doubts. Sometimes she really wished she could be a little stupid, instead of being able to see the bloody deal behind it all at a glance.

Evolved alien creatures can produce higher efficiency and provide more valuable materials, which can undoubtedly bring huge profits to conglomerates, whether for medical applications or other uses.

If we were to give it a nice-sounding reason, it would be that it was an experiment conducted for the benefit of all mankind—how noble that sounds!

If the experiment wasn't so bloody, and if they weren't using the products derived from the experiment to exploit the flock for profit, then it could indeed be called great.
