Chapter 378 [Taboo Experiment]
With Xiaowan, the supervisor, leading the way, Xia En and others avoided many detours.
It didn't take long.
They came to the deepest wall in Area A.
But here, Xia En didn't see other people from the [Truth Society].
Thinking about it, after discovering that the channel has not been opened for a long time.
They also realized that there was some deviation in the action plan of Area A.
So, go to other areas to continue the action.
This discovery did not make Xia En feel much relieved.
Compared with the enemies who appeared directly in the light, the shadows hiding in the dark made him feel more at ease.
Moreover, this also proved Xia En’s previous guess from the side——
There are definitely more than one group of [Truth Society] members who have infiltrated the research institute.
Perhaps, at this time, they have entered the restricted area of the institute from other areas.
It seems that they can see the urgency of Xia En and others.
After arriving at this wall, Xiaowan didn't hesitate at all. She took out her and Shad's identity documents and lightly pressed them somewhere on the wall.
"Chi——"
Accompanied by the sound of steam releasing pressure.
Precision gears and levers are constantly at work.
The originally tight walls opened to both sides.
A passage leading deeper underground suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The dark entrance is like the mouth of a monster, seeming to devour everyone who comes.
at the same time.
A biting chill surged out of the passage, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.
Xiaowan said: "This is the restricted area of the research institute."
"However, even I only entered the restricted area once before it was fully built."
"It has been so long now that the terrain in the restricted area must have changed a lot."
"It is more likely that there will be unforeseen dangers."
Xiaowan looked at Xia En and others seriously.
"To be honest, there is a very strong defensive force inside the penalty area."
"I don't think those intruders can successfully reach the deepest part of the restricted area and take away what they want."
"Let me confirm again, do you really want to enter the restricted area?"
Xia En nodded without any hesitation.
"Yes, there are reasons why we have to do this."
"Okay then."
Xiaowan sighed softly, knowing that she could not dissuade Xia En and his party, so she simply said.
"Then let us go together."
"As for what I know about the restricted area, we talked as we walked."
Subsequently.
Xia En and his group walked towards the depths of the passage.
On the way, Xia En asked: "What exactly is inside this restricted area?"
Xiaowan answered.
"I have said before that those of us [people of ice and snow] who voluntarily cooperate with the experiment are conducting less dangerous research."
"Sometimes it even just requires regular blood draws and the delivery of ice-cold secret power."
"However, for those prisoners who have committed capital crimes, the intensity of the experiment will be greatly increased."
“There are even some forms of experimentation that are considered taboo.”
Xiaowan hesitated for a moment and then said.
"For example...inject the blood of the bronze dragon into the body of the [people of ice and snow]."
"Thus creating an existence that possesses the secret power of ice and masters the laws of time and space."
"Another example is using special drugs to stimulate the blood vessels in the [Ice and Snow People]'s bodies, allowing them to achieve a certain sense of return to their ancestors, thereby mastering the more original laws of ice and cold."
Hearing these words, An Bing's expression changed slightly.
But he didn't interrupt.
Xiaowan said: "Of course, the failure rate of such a radical experiment is horribly high, so many failed experimental subjects were born."
"Some of these experimental subjects have lost normal human thinking and reason, and have turned into monsters who only know how to kill and destroy."
"But even so, their existence itself is of great help to the institute's research."
"So, although the experiment failed."
"But King Xin did not kill these failed experimental subjects immediately. Instead, he imprisoned them in the deepest restricted area and observed their status regularly."
"Use this to optimize the next experimental direction."
Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized.
Behind any research, there are bound to be countless failures.
Only by learning from these failures can we find the path to success.
The failed products imprisoned in the restricted area are undoubtedly part of this path.
Moreover, although they are failures, it does not mean that they are weak.
Quite the opposite.
After undergoing forbidden experiments, their strength may far exceed that of their former selves.
Especially those beings who have been injected with bronze dragon blood are likely to have some abilities beyond common sense.
Even if the price is losing one's sanity as a human being.
Not to mention.
In this underground icy environment, it is equivalent to the training holy land of [Ice and Snow People].
Staying here for a long time will make their total secret power grow greatly.
This is the source of danger in Xiaowan's words.
Xiaowan continued.
"Moreover, there are some special [Ice and Snow People] imprisoned in the restricted area."
"They are the most advanced elders in the clan, and they are also excellent experimental materials."
"Because they are much stronger than ordinary prisoners, they are also concentrated in the depths of the restricted area."
After hearing these words, Xia En roughly understood the significance of the restricted area to the institute.
If we say, the entire institute is equivalent to a huge prison.
Then, the restricted area is probably a "sky prison" type of existence.
The most dangerous and vicious prisoners and experimental subjects are all imprisoned here.
So, Xia En asked again.
"Since these beings are imprisoned, are there any protective measures in the restricted area?"
"Of course there is."
Xiaowan replied decisively.
"Each experimental subject is equipped with a device that extracts their secret power at all times, ensuring that they are always in a weak state."
"There are also automatic induction micro bombs tied to their vital points. As long as they leave their cells, they will detonate directly."
"Moreover, there are two legendary strongmen on standby inside the penalty area."
"They are also the last and most reliable defense force in this institute."
These words made Xia En feel a lot more at ease.
Think about it too.
Since it is a place where the most dangerous prisoners are held, the most stringent protective measures are naturally in place.
King Xin probably had this in mind when he designed this area.
But that's it.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from deep in the passage.
Xia En's expression suddenly changed slightly, and the group of people quickly walked down and soon reached the end of the passage.
It was different from the warning red light flashing above.
The lights in the restricted area are monotonous silver-gray, like eternal ice.
It seems like it will never change.
While being cool. It also gives people a dead atmosphere.
For the prisoners here.
This kind of light will only intensify the despair in their hearts.
Not only that, the temperature here is significantly colder than other areas of the institute.
There was even a thin layer of ice on the metal wall.
The air exhaled by Xia En and others also turned into clouds of white gas. The body temperature should already be around zero.
This is partly due to the environment of this area.
On the other hand, it’s because...
The prisoners imprisoned here contain a large amount of icy secret power.
Just a little bit of escaping is enough to make it so cold here.
Soon, Xia En looked towards the direction where the muffled sound came from.
I saw a cell not far away, and the door of the cell was open.
A cold corpse fell in front of the door.
The whole head shattered like a watermelon.
Red and white things were scattered on the ground, and they had gradually frozen at low temperatures.
It's obvious.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
This man wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the cage, but neglected the lethal device around his neck, which was how he ended up in this situation.
Just...
After Xia En glanced at the corpse, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He discovered that there was a thin layer of scales growing on this person's body, and his blood was a faint azure color.
It is not difficult to guess that this person is the failed experiment in Xiaowan's mouth.
While Shane was observing the body.
Xiaowan looked at the open cell door and couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Strange...why is this door open?"
"In emergency martial law situations, the doors of restricted areas should be locked."
Jane next to her frowned and said after examining it for a moment.
"The door here shows signs of being cracked remotely."
"Maybe the people from the [Truth Society] want to release all these prisoners in order to create chaos, right?
Hearing this, Xia En immediately became vigilant.
"[The Truth Society] has broken into the restricted area?"
Jane replied: "It should be."
"It's just that the situation with this door is more like the central control program has been modified."
"As a result, the doors of all the cells in the restricted area were opened. Some prisoners may have escaped."
Although King Xin also set up other preventive measures, such as bombs on the necks of the prisoners.
However, for some experimental subjects who were injected with dragon blood and transformed their bodies.
Such a device may not kill them outright.
Coupled with their own self-healing ability, it may really be possible to escape.
"Roar!!!"
As if to prove Xia En's conjecture, a roar suddenly came from the shadows in the distance.
Immediately, a blood-red figure with ice-blue color rushed towards Dark Ice at the end of the crowd like an arrow from a string.
At this time, An Bing was still a little distracted because of the words of the [Truth Society] members.
When he heard the roar, his reaction was unexpectedly slow.
She quickly raised her hand, trying to freeze the figure in front of her.
But what surprised An Bing.
When his all-conquering icy secret power landed on this figure, it actually did not freeze it into an ice sculpture.
But it just makes its movement stagnate slightly.
"What?"
A flash of astonishment flashed across An Bing's face, and he quickly changed his moves.
But at this moment, the blood shadow was already rushing towards her face.
clang!
At this critical moment, Carles took a step forward.
The arm made of steel was placed in front of the opponent, tightly blocking its closed mouth.
Only then did everyone see clearly.
What attacked them was a half-wolf, half-dragon monster.
Its upper body resembles the "West Wind Frost Wolf" on the "West Wind Plateau".
The huge wolf head, sharp teeth, and pointed horns on the head are very obvious features.
But its lower body looked like a strange snake covered with scales.
Not only does it have ferocious edges and corners, its tail is also constantly slapping the ground.
It looks extremely weird and has an indescribable sense of violation.
It's like a "stitch monster" in some kind of science fiction work.
And at this time.
The monster's mouth kept closing, but it was still unable to pierce Carles' hard armor.
On the contrary, its teeth were broken bit by bit under the huge force, and it couldn't help but let out a whimper of pain.
Then, without hesitation, Carles punched the wolf monster in the jaw.
The surging power poured out, knocking it out and resolving the crisis.
Xiaowan immediately looked at An Bing who was attacked with concern.
"Sister An Bing, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
An Bing waved her hand, with some confusion on her face.
"This monster... was just immune to my cold secret power?"
Xiaowan explained.
"Most of the experimental subjects in the restricted area have experienced the transformation of the ice-cold secret power and have long since developed antibodies to it."
"It's hard to damage it with this kind of power."
On the other side.
Xia En took a closer look at this monster that looked like a hybrid between a dragon and a wolf, and frowned slightly.
It can be seen that there is a huge gap in the monster's neck.
There was blood flowing out of it.
Just, even so.
This monster still has extremely strong ferocity and vitality, and it is obvious that it will not die in a short period of time.
This is obviously the impact of the dragon blood transformation.
Moreover, judging from the speed and power it showed just now, it is impressively above the sixth level!
That is to say, their group is extremely powerful.
If it were the guards inside the research institute, they would suffer heavy casualties the moment they encounter this monster.
Only then did Xia En understand the reason why this area was called the restricted area.
And obviously, deeper in the penalty area.
There are more powerful experimental subjects that have broken free from their cages.
But now, all we can do is continue to rush in.
Xia En first glanced at An Bing beside him and reminded him.
"Miss Anbing, the next journey will only be more dangerous."
"Please stop being distracted."
An Bing nodded slightly ashamed.
"I know."
Immediately afterwards, the group continued to move deeper into the restricted area.
Even though he had expected it, the scene here still made Xia En secretly stunned.
Humans with obvious dragon-like characteristics;
An ice sculpture whose whole body is frozen but still has the breath of life;
The mummy mumbling in the corner...
Everything is filled with an atmosphere of weirdness and taboo.
If it hadn't been said that this was a research institute, Xia En might have thought that this was the site of some evil ritual.
The reason why King Xin hid this research institute so deeply is probably because he did not want these taboo experiments to be known to others.
Look at the scene here.
Xia En couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
It was hard for him to imagine that the Yan Yan he knew would conduct such a taboo experiment.
But if it is King Xin...
If for the people of [Great Yan Kingdom]...
Maybe he will indeed let go of some of his persistence?
When his thoughts were ups and downs, suddenly, the [Fire] in Xia En's arms responded.
