Rita turned on Shadow Iron's exploration radar and took a closer look. The Honkai energy signal on it was still flashing.
"There is no underground construction city marked on the structural map here, but the radar has captured the Honkai energy reaction deep underground..." Rita connected to Arvet's communication: "Ar. Veit, order all the Immortal Blade teams to be on standby to support my location."
"Yes!"
There are places that cannot be seen by human vision. Rita's loyal hound does, however.
The Mechanical Hound is an accessory to Rita's armor, even equivalent to a part of Rita's armor, similar to an armored drone.
Rita turned her head slightly and gave an instruction to the mechanical hound behind her that had been waiting for a long time. The hound jumped up and began to investigate.
Watching the hound probe deeper, Rita's eyes moved slightly:
"The secret we are looking for should not be far away."
With the help of a mechanical hound, hidden objects are quickly unearthed. Rita followed the mechanical hound to a corner of the data room.
"Well done, I found the location on the underground floor." Rita said to the communication, and at the same time gently touched the mechanical hound beside her: "Good dog, do it for me now. Open the passage. ”
The mechanical hound is connected to the detection of the passage, and the built-in master key directly opens the closed door.
Amidst the roar, the closed door opened, and in the darkness, the unknown seemed to be sending out an invitation.
The huge elevator platform slowly descended in the darkness. Without any accidents, Rita followed the elevator to the bottom.
The scene underground is completely different from that above. People are shocked by the scale of the underground.
In front of her was a hall of astonishing size, but what shocked Rita even more was the scene inside.
A huge downlight is on the ceiling in the center of the hall. The experimental cabins in the hall are lined up row after row. The experimental subjects suspended in them are both familiar and strange to Rita.
"This is..."
Dead warriors, on the skin of these walking corpses that Rita has fought countless times, fine lines are intertwined, drawing each and every Glowing imprint.
Stigmata, in the long history until Tianming developed the artificial stigmata, only a very small number of people chosen by fate would show this special mark.
The Valkyries all rely on this special power to play a huge role in the battlefield against Honkai.
And now, this extremely special mark appears on Honkai Impact's slaves.
Without even thinking about it, Rita understood what was going on here. Rita gritted her teeth and stared at the faces in the container.
She breathed a sigh of relief as there was no one she knew well, but instead, there was an even stronger feeling.Strong anger surged up along with the blood.
These experimental subjects vary in height, size, and age. Some have Honkaiju beast tissue implanted in their bodies, and their bodies are covered with a white silicon-based shell. Some have had certain parts of their bodies removed and replaced with electronic prostheses.
This place seems to be a grotesque human museum, showing intruders how far the human body can be transformed.
She realized she had reached the source of the secret.
"Miss Rita...are you okay? I have detected that your heart rate and blood pressure are increasing."
Arvite's worried voice echoed in Rita's voice. Ringing in the ears.
Rita did not speak, but touched the mechanical hound that was following her.
The mechanical hound immediately understood, took small steps, climbed up to the main control computer in the center of the hall, and began to access the terminal.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
In an instant, countless documents washed through Rita's eyepiece. Among the documents flying like snowflakes, she caught the target she wanted to find at a glance.
[Stigmata, the most precious heritage in human blood. ]
[Stigmata are not the product of natural evolution, but a miracle of pre-civilization biotechnology. There are still many unsolved mysteries about its principles and operating methods. ]
[Before the demise of the previous civilization, they inoculated the embryos of a few offspring with complex Honkai antibody genomes. These genomes would build imprints on the human body, which are stigmata. ]
[Humans carrying the Stigmata have greater resistance to Honkai energy and control over it, and thus exhibit various incredible powers. ]
[Unfortunately, with the inheritance of human lineage, genes continue to mutate and exchange, and the original complete stigma genome eventually became separated. ]
[Once the puzzle is disrupted, the meaning of the pattern will no longer exist. ]
[Therefore, although every modern human being carries the stigma gene, there are only a handful of people who can express it naturally. ]
[The Destiny Organization once imitated stigmata by artificial means and used it through acquired implantation. However, this technology was full of flaws and dangers and was just a poor imitation. ]
[However, under the inspiration of the omniscient and omnipotent snake, our research has made leaps and bounds. ]
Snake?
Rita immediately thought of the Gray Snake organization that she had been threatened by, the World Snake.
[Now, we already know how to activate and reorganize the hidden stigma fragments in human genes through artificial intervention so that they can be fully expressed. ]
[This process is extremely difficult. Those who cannot bear it will die and even become walking zombies, but those who survive will have the power to survive the collapse. ]
[The price is very high, butThe price is well worth it. ]
[The progress of the current activation is still slow and far from the expected volume. We plan to conduct the experiment in a densely populated city. ]
Crazy.
Even Rita, who had done a lot of dirty work for Destiny, was now feeling palpitated by the madness involved in this record.
"Experiments on the entire city's population? They must be crazy!"
At this moment, at the end of the laboratory, a huge screen suddenly lit up, and a figure appeared. On this huge screen.
"Sometimes, I feel the same way."
As the figure's voice fell, the experimental subject suspended in the experimental cabin behind Rita should have been motionless. The experimental body suddenly...
moved.
Rita's reaction was also very fast. The armored scythe was quickly assembled, and was held in Rita's hand. She flipped her body lightly and avoided the attacks of the experimental subjects.
Looking at the experimental subjects surrounding them, Rita frowned and pressed the communication in her ear:
"I am surrounded, the Immortal Blades are ready to gather!" < /p>
The figure on the screen looked at the scene happening here calmly: "As expected of destiny, I dare to step into other people's territory without permission and peek into other people's secrets.
"Miss Rita, since you are so interested in this place, you might as well take a few more looks... This will also free up my time to entertain you.
The figure smiled sadly: "However, if you want to get something, you have to pay a price, right?" Using your life and that of your subordinates in exchange for everything you see here... isn't the price too high? ”
