Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 122 - 99、Mechanical Guard_2

Within the deep, damaged elevator shaft, WeChat personnel had placed signal lights along the route, guiding the way downward.

Although Lin Qing hadn’t prepared climbing ropes in advance, he only needed to employ the Free Body skill a little to reduce his body weight to the limit, reaching a speed where air resistance balanced with his gravity, thus his fall no longer accelerated.

Eighty meters, it took him more than ten seconds to descend.

After a gentle landing, Lin Qing’s view was immediately met by a metal door about five meters high, seemingly embedded in the rock, with remnants of the dismantled underground elevator scattered around.

A "7" could be seen on the door, seemingly indicating that it was the entrance to Research Institute Number 7.

"Incomplete Door?"

Lin Qing glanced at the text on the metal door, stepped forward, and placed his palm on the disk-shaped sensor on the door.

The next moment, a soft beam of light descended from the door, enveloping him.

Lin Qing knew that this was the Underground Research Institute’s detection device. Without needing DNA recognition, it could easily determine genetic information on a molecular level, its technology far surpassing that outside the urban circle.

As long as Earth people’s Genetic Optimization Index was confirmed to be below 100%, entry was permitted.

But if one could not pass the detection and yet attempted to force entry, the laser defense weapons on the doors of the Research Institute would activate. Under the high-power laser weaponry, even an Inspector daring to force entry would undoubtedly meet certain death.

Even if the laser weapons failed to kill the enemy, the Research Institute would initiate a self-destruction protocol.

"Access granted."

The next moment, the heavy alloy door slowly opened, revealing a dark corridor.

Lin Qing immediately stepped inside.

And the alloy door behind him quietly closed on its own.

According to the information provided by Inspection Headquarters, this Underground Research Institute was extremely vast, covering millions of square meters and divided into multiple areas.

However, after a day and night, most areas had already been "searched."

Exiting the dark corridor, Lin Qing was greeted by a huge white hall, where splatters of blood covered the floor, along with various limbs and corpses.

Clearly, it was the aftermath of a confrontation between Patrol forces and the Original Research Institute.

Lin Qing didn’t waste time and quickly brought up the map of the entire Research Institute in his mind, planned a route, and turned into a shadowy, silent blur, maintaining a speed of approximately sixty meters per second toward the direction of the ’high-order experiment area’ deep within the Underground Research Institute.

As the Biological Weapon was in the ’Animal Breeding Area,’ he naturally wouldn’t compete with the big-shot from the urban circle’s prominent family.

His goal was also Fourth Energy Level Genetic Optimization, so naturally, he prioritized the ’high-order experiment area.’

According to the information from Patrol, the ’high-order experiment area’ was also divided into several labs, and two of them had not been conquered.

One was suspected to be studying Bloodline evolutionary genetics, while the other was the research on Fourth Energy Level energy theory.

But as a facility allowed to be armed for self-defense by the Intelligent Star Group, the Mechanical Guards protecting these labs were simply too strong, and it seemed the Patrol had already given up.

In a moment, Lin Qing quickly passed through winding corridors, through doors that had been either destroyed or unlocked, and soon arrived at the entrance of the corridor leading to his destination.

[Order Level decreased by 1.6]

[Order Level decreased by 1.6]

[Order Level decreased by 1.6]

Lin Qing had just entered the corridor when a series of blood-red warnings emerged before his eyes.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

The threat from Chu Tianyao only decreased the Order Level by 1, but now a bunch of threats reaching as high as 1.6 levels had sprung up!

Ten or so figures suddenly appeared at the front of the corridor.

They were all wearing sunglasses and black leather, looking cold and ruthless; nearly every one of them was armed with a heavy machine gun, either crouching on the ground or slung over the shoulder.

"Da-da-da-da—!!"

Fire spewed forth, the dense barrage of bullets almost completely sealing off the entire corridor.

Each bullet was a specially made Armor-piercing bullet, capable of penetrating the defenses of even a Senior Patrol Chief, and right now, countless bullets came at him, pouring out firepower.

"Enhancement!"

Lin Qing’s pupils suddenly burst with azure light, and a metallic luster emerged all over his body as he charged directly into the barrage!

His hands became a blur in front of his eyes, continually blocking each bullet aimed directly at his face, while his body simply took the hits head-on.

One after another, armor-piercing bullets penetrated his sturdy Patrol Chief uniform but were completely stopped by his tough skin and deflected away!

Once someone’s strength reached this level, the firearms and bullets, which had been restricted in development and even degraded, posed almost no threat to his current power.

In an instant, a barrage of bullets created a human-shaped void.

"Puff!"

Lin Qing’s figure, bursting with speed, charged into the midst of the Mechanical Guards.

The Mechanical Guard closest to him put down its machine gun, and its palm instantly sprung out a black dagger, stabbing straight toward his body.

The speed of its attack was so swift, ordinary people couldn’t even catch a glimpse.

Firepower suppression was just the simplest tactic of these Mechanical Guards; a competent Senior Patrol Chief could withstand it, but once you breached into the crowd of Mechanical Guards, that’s when the trouble began.

Because each Mechanical Guard’s close-combat strength was slightly stronger than an average Senior Patrol Chief!

More than ten Mechanical Guards could perfectly coordinate and support each other. For any Senior Patrol Chief daring to barge through, it meant certain death!

"Eh?"

Lin Qing’s gaze remained unchanged; his waist twisted like noodles, effortlessly dodging the black blade of the attacking Mechanical Guard, while his right arm extended to deliver a slicing chop—

"Ssslash!"

The Mechanical Guard’s head flew off, its metallic spinal column severed by an invisible blade.

Other Mechanical Guards also launched an attack on him simultaneously, black daggers stabbing toward him from nearly every angle without a blind spot.

Yet Lin Qing was far from panicked; his agile and constantly changing figure, like a butterfly flitting through flowers, nimbly dodged every black dagger, while his hands unleashed invisible sharp edges, severing the heads of Mechanical Guards one after another.

Had he not been at the "Instinct Level" with "Free Body," dealing with these Mechanical Guards would have been a hassle, performing body variances would have taken a bit of time to prepare.

In this kind of high-speed combat, that bit of time seemed too long.

But "Free Body" at the Instinct Level was entirely different, freely morphing the body in a mere thought, making dodging abilities incredibly strong.

Moreover, it was unaffected by air resistance, unrestrained and unimpeded, bold and reckless!

This method of combat, with its speed and agility, was practically tailored for melee brawls.

Although lacking in offensive power, Lin Qing had ’Invisible Blade,’ a Genetic Ability to compensate, which was a purely offensive ability that could easily tear through the defenses of Mechanical Guards.

What seemed to be a slow explanation had just been a brief shuttle through the group of Mechanical Guards for Lin Qing, and in a matter of seconds, more than ten Mechanical Guards were destroyed, disassembled, and fell to the ground.

However, visible traces within the bodies of these Mechanical Guards indicated they contained memory components. They were still trying to connect their bodies and attempting to recover.

Lin Qing didn’t care and glanced at the Mechanical Guards, couldn’t help muttering to himself, "Why do they all look like Terminators..."

He looked at his Patrol uniform, which had become tattered and torn, and couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

Then, Lin Qing proceeded towards the deeper sections of the research area.

At this moment, the Order Level had already been restored, indicating that the threat of these Mechanical Guards had vanished.

Ahead was a laboratory inside an explosion-proof glass door.

Before he even tried to break through the glass door, it opened on its own.

Lin Qing attempted to step through the laboratory door, and after confirming the Order Level hadn’t changed, he walked in.

At that moment—

A multitude of light rays suddenly converged, forming an image of a seven- or eight-year-old girl with the pure gaze of an angel, dressed in a white skirt, her skin white and flawless.

A projection?

The intelligent system of the Underground Research Institute?

Lin Qing paused, squinting at the little girl.

"Patrol Chief Lin Qing."

The little girl quietly watched Lin Qing, her childish voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation, "Your strength exceeds that recorded in the Patrol Headquarters information bank by a considerable amount. Please stop destroying the laboratory left by father. Speak openly about what you want."
