"Stay alert."

"There should be other exits here. Team One, come with me to find them." Orders were quickly given, and Leon led a group to search for hidden exits.

About a few minutes later.

With a 'buzz' sound, the large lights in the research facility lit up one by one, and at the same time, Su Ziyu shivered as a strong sense of impending danger flashed through his spirituality.

"Self-destruction protocol activated!"

"Countdown 15 minutes!..."

Accompanied by flashing red lights, some device was triggered within the research lab, and a self-destruction countdown appeared on the restarted instruments, causing the group's expressions to show a slight panic.

"Quickly find a way to stop it."

"Prepare to evacuate."

"Team Two, take these documents! Damn it!"

Fifteen minutes should be enough time to evacuate, but the documents might not make it out, Su Ziyu watched as the countdown ticked down and briefly thought before quietly entering the control room.

"Artificial intelligence detected!"...

"Devour it?"...

Yes.

A disturbance in the data stream in his mind, and a mess of gibberish appeared on the monitor before him, followed by continuous 'data loss' notifications. Suddenly, the self-destruction countdown froze and then vanished with a beep, leaving all monitors going black.

"Devouring complete."

"Database expansion underway!...High-level genetic mutation data stored!..."

At this moment.

Images flashed across Su Ziyu's mind, recorded by surveillance cameras. Mother Yisodel's naked figure appeared, confined within a completely sealed glass chamber, metal tubes inserted into her body. Nearby, researchers in lab coats were busy inside and outside the lab, occasionally entering to extract her blood, marrow, and cerebrospinal fluid for analysis.

This procedure continued for a long time.

Until Mother Yisodel awoke and was injected with a large dose of sedatives.

A bizarre change occurred in the footage here.

Su Ziyu actually saw a vague black figure, like an unreal projection from the surveillance, and when the Bald Doctor appeared a third time, Mother Yisodel, suddenly opened her eyes from within the glass chamber. Her light green hair danced in some unknown liquid, and with a series of cracking sounds, cracks spread across the glass instrument, even the reinforced outer glass shattered like a spider's web, shattering the glass cups beside the researchers.

Mother Yisodel suddenly burst out.

Somehow, her originally fair skin turned a peculiar dark cyan, with blue-purple marks appearing on parts of her body. She let out a shrill scream toward others, and the researchers outside fell like wheat being cut down.

The footage became blurry here.

It seems the cameras were also destroyed, and when restored, it was something captured by the outside cameras.

Step, step, step.

With light footsteps, an extremely unfamiliar figure emerged, covered in a strange keratinous layer. Standing about over three meters tall, her light green hair matted into dreadlocks. Wearing nothing, her skin looked armored, dark cyan sharp nails stained with blood, and two sharp bone wings protruded from her spine, her lower half similarly keratin-covered, seemingly erasing gender characteristics amid flesh mutation.

She appeared ghostly in the images from various cameras, frames capturing different moments.

Blood and mangled bodies everywhere.

The last captured image showed a cold face in a shadowy passage, as if she were speaking, the movement of her lips suggesting she was whispering a name.

— "Solomon."

Then, the highly mutated Mother Yisodel disappeared from the surveillance scope.

Su Ziyu furrowed his brow.

The footage he had seen was likely archived surveillance from within the facility, surprisingly revealing Mother Yisodel's capture by the Genetics Faction and their mysterious experiments on her, leading to a form he found familiar.

Thinking a moment, he shuddered.

Because he remembered himself.

In the Dream Realm plane, the White Queen once asked Su Ziyu to look behind him, revealing a blurry shadow of himself.

That tall figure, around five meters, had solid muscles, exuding explosive power, its expression unbearably cold, glaring with crimson eyes. It had hair twisted into thick braids, like Mother Yisodel's mutated dreadlocks. One hand had become a massive grayish-white bone blade, the other three dark cyan tentacles that slightly writhed, and on its spine were two slight protuberances, and when Su Ziyu watched it, this mutated version glanced back, its back bursting open, revealing menacing bony wings.

Mother Yisodel's mutated form bore a seventy percent similarity to the flesh-mutated version of him he had once seen!

"She retained a high level of cognition!"

Su Ziyu had faced two super mutants before, be it Polaris's or the Corpse Demon Club's, both lost most rationality.

But Mother Yisodel was completely different!

After encountering Su Ziyu, she chose to retreat directly and escape this place.

Meanwhile.

While Su Ziyu and his group stayed in the facility, a tall woman in Brotherhood attire quietly emerged from a shadowed corner. Her strikingly light green hair and slightly undersized tight combat suit highlighted her figure, grabbing a few extra glances.

Had the battle just ended, perhaps men would be tempted to chat her up.

She walked openly toward the exit.

Drawing attention but unchallenged, no one stopped her.

"Halt!"

Until reaching the battlefield's edge, an exoskeleton-wearing man stopped her, frowning at the woman, perplexed, "Which division are you from?"

"Why haven't I seen you before?"

Facing the man's question, she smiled gently, speaking hauntingly, "You've seen me before. You just don't remember."

The man paused slightly, then tapped his head, "Right!"

"You're from the Ice Steam City Branch?"

"I've been there a few times."

"The mission hasn't ended; you can't leave like this. Quickly, return to your team."

The beautiful woman frowned slightly, then tilted her head, "Look into my eyes."

Instantly their gazes locked, and the man's expression went blank.

"I have a special mission to execute," she laughed softly.

Quickly.

The man stepped aside, and long after she left, he rubbed his head, muttering, "Why send a woman for a special mission?"

"She hasn't even had bionic transformation, right?"

"She's stunning!"

"When did I meet her, and why don't I remember at all?"
