Chapter 43
Jiang Zihan lowered her voice, "Although the distortion will affect nerve reactions, not everyone will be controlled. If the transformation is done properly, there is a chance to become a superpower."
But the probability is too low.
"Could it be that they want to cultivate mutants?" Qiu Min was a little dazed. The sewage was too contagious. If there were so many mutants for the experiment, even if the conversion rate to mutants was only 10%, the experiment would be considered a success.
The biggest difficulty in losing contact with the outside world is that they have no idea how many people have been sent to the Land of Exile, nor do they know where these people have gone. If they can pinpoint their location, they might be able to find the group behind the scenes.
Zhao Ming thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we ask the audience in the live broadcast room? See if we can get them to help with the statistics?"
"It's a bit difficult." Lu Chenyuan shook his head. "Although the live broadcast platform is independent, it has close ties with the military. If it involves confidential information, revealing it in the live broadcast room is equivalent to announcing it to the outside world. This information will definitely be blocked."
The surroundings became quiet and dusk fell quietly.
Zhao Ming: "Rather than just sit there and wait for death, we might as well take the initiative. We can't be scared by those rats in the dark."
After saying that, he looked at the reactions of the others. He cherished his current environment very much. If it was destroyed, he would have to go back to the research institute, where he would not be as free as here.
He sighed slightly in his heart, it is true that only when you are about to lose something can you understand the value of what you have.
Qiu Min hesitated a little: "But we only have so many people, we can't win..."
Jiang Zihan suddenly turned to Lu Chenyuan and said, "You said before that you had acquaintances in the inner area. There should be more than just the few we brought back now, right?"
Lu Chenyuan raised his eyebrows: "You want to take in more people? It's not impossible, but if the number of people increases, the current housing in the gathering place may not be enough."
Jiang Zihan shrugged. "Aren't many people in the comments wondering if we're planning to invade other areas? Why not take this opportunity to expand into a base?"
Lu Chenyuan looked at her carefully for a few times, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up: "I've been waiting for you to speak. Don't worry, I'll contact them."
Qiu Min's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask with anticipation, "If we continue to expand, can we build a base here?"
"What should we call it? Area F Base? It's not impossible, but it feels... a bit like the last one." Zhao Ming scratched his head.
Jiang Zihan smiled as she watched their discussion. Lu Chenyuan quietly tapped her back. She flinched, tilting her head to glare at him when she saw the faint stars twinkle in the sky. She paused for a moment, her mind suddenly reminiscing about the scene before she arrived here...
"The Morning Star, also known as the Changgeng Star," she said, her gaze drifting off into the distance. "It can guide those in the darkness before sunrise, and then greet the dawn."
Lu Chenyuan looked at her in surprise, lowered his eyes for a moment, and suggested: "Why not call it Chang Gung Base?"
…
At three in the morning, Jiang Zihan led a small team and quietly approached the border of Area D for reconnaissance. Under the moonlight, the base surrounded by high walls looked like a besieged city, surrounded by electric grids, with dense electric currents trembling, and the towers were full of fully armed guards.
Zhuifeng lay on the side, his alert ears suddenly pricked up, and a warning snoring sound came from his throat. Jiang Zihan's eyebrows twitched, she seemed to smell a faint smell of blood.
The mental power spread quietly, passed through the electric fence and wrapped around the guards. Their eyes blurred, and then the anesthetic bullet was silently injected. After a few seconds, the towers were empty.
"Prepare for a surprise attack," she whispered. "Remember, our goal tonight is to find the source of the sewage discharge without attracting anyone else's attention."
Chi Yan flew over the high wall and opened the door from the inside. A row of dark shadows quietly slipped in. Jiang Zihan walked towards the factory. At this moment, the silent system panel suddenly popped up: [Warning! Approaching life form detected! Please retreat immediately!]
The surrounding searchlights suddenly lit up, and she squinted her eyes. Under the strong light, a figure stood high up: "Doctor Jiang, welcome."
The masked man waved his hand, and the surrounding ground suddenly collapsed. Special power grid equipment was pulled out from the ground and surrounded the team in a few breaths.
Masked man: "We have been waiting for a long time."
Before Jiang Zihan could react, an electric current surged from his back. It turned out that the electric grid was mixed with anesthetic!
The data on the system panel suddenly became chaotic, her eyes went dark, and she completely lost consciousness.
The masked man slowly approached and pinched Jiang Zihan's chin: "It can purify the deformed superpowers, which is interesting."
…
In the darkness, a faint sound continued—
"It's over, it's over... Calculating the probability of rescue... 10%... How can it be so low! No, no, calculate it again..."
Jiang Zihan was given a headache by the noise, but this was the first time he heard such an emotional voice from the system, and a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.
She could sense that she was lying on a cool platform, and her mental strength was slowly being drained from her body.
Not long after, the door to the laboratory was opened and someone approached: "This spiritual power is too pure, the strength is almost reaching S-level, but the purification data has not been detected yet."
Jiang Zihan tried hard to keep her heart rate steady, and quietly opened her eyes a crack. She saw another experimental cabin not far away, with a pale figure immersed in the culture fluid. When she saw the face clearly, her heart skipped a beat.
The figure inside had a face exactly like hers!
"The clone can only withstand 30% of this mental power, and the superpower may not be able to be transferred." The researcher in a white coat expressed regret.
The masked man knocked on the glass. "What a surprise! I didn't expect she was one of the test subjects from the previous lab. We lost a few when we transferred the samples, and we thought they were all dead."
Researcher: "Indeed, I didn't expect there is such a high level of mental power. We have tried so many times but failed. This is really a pleasant surprise."
Masked man: "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go meet those war beasts again. They actually let them escape. This group of guards is really no good."
Not long after, the two left. Jiang Zihan opened his eyes and saw several experimental cabins erected around him. In addition to human figures, there were also many animal bodies, and even human-animal combinations.
She withdrew her gaze and stared at the ceiling. Had she encountered a perverted research maniac? That clone, who was exactly like her, must not be discovered by the outside world, otherwise she would be immediately imprisoned in a federal research institute if she got out.
Since she woke up, the system has been silent again, and the only sound in the laboratory is the sound of the instruments running.
Jiang Zihan was a little bored, so he quietly used his mental power to connect to one of the experimental cabins. When he got closer, he found that it was a snow leopard cub, but it looked malnourished and seemed to have suffered a lot.
She used her mental power to quietly comfort it. The little snow leopard trembled, opened its eyes with a shiver, whimpered a few times, and its blue pupils were filled with panic.
She lowered her eyes and found that there was a mark of the Border Distortion Isolation Zone on its neck. She had seen this mark on Zhuifeng's nameplate.
That isolation zone is under the jurisdiction of the East District Security District. It is mainly composed of snow-capped mountains and plateaus, which is indeed a suitable living environment for snow leopards. Maybe they are from the same hometown as Zhuifeng.
If these cubs were smuggled in and were able to evade the guards of the security zone, it means that these people are quite capable and may have connections with insiders.
On the other side, Lu Chenyuan hurried back to the gathering place with the group of people he had recruited. After settling them down, he didn't see Jiang Zihan. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where is Doctor Jiang?"
Lin Na: "Doctor Jiang said he wanted to go to Area D to see if there was any water purification equipment."
Lu Chenyuan frowned: "When did she go?"
"It's probably not even 3 o'clock."
He estimated the time, but for some reason he just couldn't calm down. After sitting in the clinic for a while, he couldn't help but stand up and said, "I'll go take a look too."
…
Jiang Zihan's mental power circled the laboratory several times. When he wanted to continue wandering, a system warning panel suddenly popped up in front of him:
[Warning! The host's mental power has exceeded 50%, please use it sparingly!]
Jiang Zihan raised an eyebrow: "Not pretending to be dead?"
The system was silent for a while. 10 hours had passed since the mandatory task began, but there was no hope of escape. The host could still lie so calmly. It was truly impressed.
Once the mutated virus spreads, the host's life will be over, and he will be doomed too.
Time passed minute by minute, and the system became a little desperate and could only tell everything.
It is the afterimage of the medical system of another technological universe found in the rift of the plane. It was originally on the verge of being scrapped, but due to the functional disorder caused by the conflict between the two cosmic planes, it was accidentally drawn into this world.
As a native creature of this plane, the war beast has a natural suppressive power. It dares not appear in front of the high-level war beast at all. Moreover, the difficulty has not been solved yet. If the host's mental power is really drained, she may become an ordinary person, but she will definitely be doomed.
"Then the War Beast World you mentioned..."
"I made it up."
Jiang Zihan gritted his teeth, feeling quite justified.
"Then where do you get all the supplies in the mall?"
System: "I used excess mental energy to transport it from another dimension."
Jiang Zihan: "What about the mission data?"
System: "I hacked into the Star Network and collected this information."
Jiang Zihan's eyes suddenly moved: "Can you connect to the Star Network?"
System: "Yes, but it will be monitored by the intelligent brain, and it will be almost impossible to pass on the message."
"So this mandatory mission is also made up?"
"That's not it. I accidentally connected to the hidden signal on the island and intercepted the message from the central district issuing a mission. They plan to expand the scope of the contamination and replace you."
Jiang Zihan suddenly realized that this was the reason why the system was anxious.
The mental power in her body was still being drained by the experimental cabin. In order to maintain operation and not affect her, the system reduced all performance to the lowest level, and the signal was stuck from time to time.
She is the soul fragment that the system retrieved from the plane crack. They were already strongly bound together when they collided, and now there is no way to separate them completely. They prosper together and suffer together.
But how did she awaken her superpowers? Was it really because of a mutation in the experimental subject?
The system felt a little aggrieved: "That's because I covered up your outsider aura..."
The reason it was so silent at the beginning was that it was really tired. Although it was a bit greedy, it never wanted to kill her!
Jiang Zihan felt this resentment and felt a little embarrassed, but she had never seen such high-tech intelligence before, so wasn't it normal for her to be on guard?
"Listen, I hope you can find the internal communication quickly. I suspect they have their own communication channel." As her mental power was drained, Jiang Zihan's head began to feel dizzy. The system contributed a part of its stored mental power, which stabilized her consciousness.
Suddenly, a faint ripple in the air reached Jiang Zihan's back, causing him to tense up. He raised his eyes, alert, and peered into the darkness. A few seconds later, a familiar figure emerged from the darkness.
"Phantom Meow?" Jiang Zihan's eyes widened. "How did you find this place?"
