The two became increasingly shocked as they walked on.

The underground laboratory was built with a lot of steel bars and cement, and the inside was very smooth and not damp.

They didn't know where the people in the lab were. After Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng went down, they walked a hundred meters but didn't see a single person, only several large glass jars.

Mu Jingheng was curious and went over to investigate without saying a word.

Xu Xinning, who possessed modern medical skills, seemed to have already guessed what might be inside the glass jar. She was about to reach out and pull Mu Jingheng closer, but she was too slow.

This silly guy, perhaps out of sheer curiosity, got really close to look. When he finally saw what was soaking inside, the grown man turned pale and his stomach churned. If it weren't for his good tolerance, he probably would have vomited uncontrollably.

Xu Xinning felt a little sorry for him, but also a little amused. She patted his back and then took out some preserved plums from her space for him to suck on to make him feel more comfortable.

The glass jar contained various organs, as well as a child.

You probably already know that the channels through which this information was obtained must have been disgusting.

The two didn't linger for long and continued walking inside, where they saw two more corpse specimens, one male and one female, both of which had been cut in half.

The body was dehydrated, so it wouldn't decompose if left like that.

Just as the two were feeling angry, they heard someone speaking.

"We're almost out of test subjects, when will the people be delivered?"

"It'll be ready soon. There are quite a few people being sent this time, including adults and children, with girls being the most numerous."

"Girls are so great! Hahaha."

"We've been doing experiments in this dark place all day long, so we should take good care of ourselves."

"Is the guy locked up inside still alive?"

"Living is just about exhaling more than inhaling."

"This person is really resilient; he's made it through several years."

"His physical condition is really good. If Nakano-kun hadn't stopped me, I would have really wanted to try that drug on him."

"Why do you think Nakano-kun is locked up but not allowed to do experiments on him?"

"Perhaps we can gain greater value from this person?"

"Is it more valuable to dedicate oneself to science?"

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

Then there was no sound.

Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning quickly went to the cage the two men had mentioned, and sure enough, there was a skin and bones lying on a wooden bed inside.

This person was very tall, and despite the cold weather, he was only wearing a single layer of clothing. The blanket covering him was also a thin layer, so thin that its color was no longer discernible. It was torn and tattered, hanging limply over his body.

The person remained motionless, with an abnormal flush on their face; Xu Xinning could tell at a glance that they had a fever.

Mu Jingheng took out his tools and fiddled with the lock, and to his surprise, the lock opened.

He didn't let Xu Xinning rush forward, but instead slowly moved over himself and carefully checked the person's breath.

Fortunately, that person was still alive.

Mu Jingheng then pulled Xu Xinning over.

Xu Xinning put on a mask and gloves before looking at the person on the bed.

Xu Xinning thought the person looked familiar, but couldn't quite place where she had seen him before.

She quickly fed the man a resurrection pill.

No matter who this person is, as long as he is imprisoned, it means that he is definitely not on the same side as these petty people, otherwise he could not have been tortured like this!

After taking the Rejuvenation Pill, the man seemed to feel better, and his brows began to relax.

Instead of rescuing him immediately, the two went to explore other laboratories.

However, after turning a corner, I saw some people who were imprisoned. These people were in very bad condition, and some of their bodies were already rotting over a large area.

Xu Xinning's pupils contracted. A bacterial culture?

Xu Xinning had only heard her mother from her previous life mention the use of living people for experiments. She said that in the history of her world, invaders used her compatriots for live experiments to study bacteria.

In this life, Xu Xinning also heard about this matter. Only then did Xu Xinning realize that what her mother was referring to was the fact that the Empress Dowager was using Chinese people for live experiments.

So many years after liberation, I never expected that my humble life would still harbor such treacherous intentions.

This explains why they don't set up such laboratories in their own countries.

Seeing the state of these people, Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng couldn't help but feel their eyes redden.

These people didn't react in any particular way when they saw Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng; their eyes were empty, like walking corpses.

Xu Xinning really wanted to save them, but she wasn't a god, and there were some things she was truly powerless to do.

Mu Jingheng was afraid that Xu Xinning couldn't handle it, so he pulled her away from there.

Perhaps because it was night, the laboratory was quite empty. Apart from the people locked up, they only saw the two people chatting.

After turning another corner, they saw small cells enclosed by wire mesh, each containing a woman. These women were barely clothed and lay stiffly on wooden planks, their condition unclear—whether they were asleep or dead.

Xu Xinning also noticed that some people had protruding bellies.

Although these women looked quite pitiful, Xu Xinning took a closer look and realized they weren't bacterial cultures.

Xu Xinning was filled with resentment. Regardless of what these people thought, she impulsively went over and unlocked all their locks.

How they choose is their business.

But no one responded even after the door was opened for a long time.

Having seen enough of the lab, Mu Jingheng, worried it might disrupt their plans, decided to pull Xu Xinning out of the room.

Xu Xinning: "Take the person at the very back with you."

Without asking why, Mu Jingheng replied, "Okay!"

The two of them went back and sent the person into the space.

When the two came out, they passed by the wire cages again, but there was still no sign that anyone wanted to come out.

As a woman herself, Xu Xinning couldn't bring herself to abandon them, so she went in, took their pulses, and after confirming they weren't bacterial cultures, she drugged them and then put them into her spatial storage.

If Xu Xinning's guess is correct, these women should be comfort women.

To sabotage Xiao Rizi's plan, Xu Xinning cruelly sprinkled a poison that could cause euthanasia onto the bacterial culture. She couldn't save them, didn't want them to suffer any more, and didn't want Xiao Rizi to get the data they wanted.

Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng quickly returned the way they came. After leaving the village chief's house, fearing they would be discovered, they used teleportation to return to Miao Yiya's house unnoticed.

This time, Miao Yiya also failed to notice that the two had gone out at night.

Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng didn't want Miao Yiya to worry either.

Miao Yiya was, after all, just an ordinary woman. Although Li Xiangyang had trained her, Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng couldn't guarantee that knowing too much wouldn't give her away.
