What the Hell Is This Development?

After downing a glass of Lucky Milk, Feng Xue pushed open Room Door one by one. The moment his fingers touched the study door, the power spreading throughout the room was triggered.

Although it felt different from before, Feng Xue knew that the door had opened.

Without pausing, Feng Xue reached out and pushed open the Room Door. As the door opened, the scenery before her changed.

As that feeling of breaking through a certain barrier arose, Feng Xue found herself in a modern office.

The office's decor is quite simple, with only a desk, an ergonomic chair, and a computer that, while looking somewhat different, is essentially a keyboard, monitor, and CPU.

Although the computer screen was black, the faint humming sound coming from the computer case suggested that it was simply in hibernation mode.

Seeing this, Feng Xue immediately stepped forward, wanting to use the knowledge granted by the [hacker] Tag to look up some basic information about this world. But whether it was a coincidence or her own Troublemaker Halo was activated again, a piercing alarm began to echo in her ears.

It's not that Feng Xue is being arbitrary; it's just that such a sharp, rapid, and piercing sound is hard to mistake for anything other than an alarm.

Feng Xue's first reaction upon hearing the sound was that she had been discovered, but immediately afterward, a serious, slightly distorted broadcast voice sounded simultaneously with the alarm:

"Warning! Warning! Unidentified armed forces have intruded into the test area. Emergency evacuation order has been activated. All non-combat personnel, please immediately proceed to the evacuation sequence. Combat personnel, please proceed to the test building immediately. Crew members, enter combat readiness mode. Repeat, unidentified armed forces..."

"What's going on? From what I'm hearing, is this some kind of laboratory or institution?"

Thinking of this, Feng Xue hesitated for a moment, then took out the Omni-Press Drive, squeezed out the Orca Bottle and inserted it, ensuring that she could transform at any time.

It wasn't that he was a coward; it was just that he had a strong prejudice against institutions like "laboratories."

Well, you never know what strange and wonderful things might come out of a laboratory.

She casually cast a Hermit Authority on herself to minimize her presence and sense of disharmony. Feng Xue pushed open the office door and immediately saw two distinct groups of people.

What surprised him was the way these people were dressed...

It just stands out as odd.

First of all, the man has long hair, which is styled in a bun, and his clothing is also very strange. Although it is not the kind of ancient Hanfu, it is clearly different from modern attire. It looks like Hanfu has developed independently. Although it looks strange at first glance, you will find that it is actually quite pleasing to the eye upon closer inspection.

Shifting his attention from clothing, Feng Xue focused his gaze on the crowd. Based on their weapons, he quickly distinguished between combatants and non-combatants, and then decisively followed behind the combatants.

Just kidding. Since someone is attacking, it means there must be something good in that experimental building. If he were still a weakling, he would definitely seek refuge with the non-combatants. But since he is confident in his own safety, he should naturally go and see what good things this place has!

It must be said that the discipline of the combat personnel in this laboratory is truly extraordinary. As we walked through the corridor, more and more personnel on duty at various posts joined the team with weapons, but no one chatted. Everyone had a serious and focused expression as they moved quickly in one direction. The only sounds you could hear were breathing and footsteps.

The office where Feng Xue appeared was obviously in the outer area. It took her more than ten minutes to run to reach the so-called experimental building. However, by this time, the vanguard had obviously been fighting for a long time. Feng Xue looked up and saw two groups of combat personnel wearing different styles of exoskeletons exchanging fire with each other.

"The difference in strength is quite large!" Feng Xue squinted at the laboratory combat personnel who, despite having a numerical advantage, were almost completely overwhelmed, and observed the soldiers wearing black exoskeletons with some curiosity.

"Is that marking a bird?"

Just as Feng Xue was pondering, the black exoskeleton at the head suddenly opened its arms, and with a series of dazzling mechanical changes, the muzzle of a cannon emitting a pale blue flame unfolded in front of its chest.

Upon seeing this scene, the laboratory combat personnel immediately tried to open fire to interrupt, but were unable to raise their heads due to the suppressive fire of the other Black Exoskeleton Soldier.

Finally, with the sudden eruption of light and flame, a light barrier composed of numerous hexagons immediately opened up outside the experimental building, resembling a protective shield from a science fiction world.

But as the protective shield materialized, two Black Exoskeleton Soldier immediately stepped forward and attached two palm-sized black discs to the materialized shield.

Crash!

Just as a diamond striking a weak point in safety glass, the once incredibly sturdy protective shield suddenly became riddled with cracks and then vanished. What followed was a sudden burst of thick black smoke rising from the once pristine white laboratory building.

Upon seeing this, Feng Xue immediately activated her Breath Concealment and ran towards the Black Exoskeleton Soldier. With the powerful displacement ability of the Ascending Profound Settled View Steps, Feng Xue quickly and silently arrived near the Black Exoskeleton Soldier.

However, the soldiers didn't communicate much at this time. Instead, they seemed to have some tacit understanding and carried out their work without any communication.

Feng Xue wasn't entirely sure about the technological level of their equipment and didn't dare get too close. However, after discovering that their equipment seemed to be hacked through some kind of network, he immediately pulled out his Phantom Phone. With a series of rather rock-and-roll hacking techniques, lines of data unfolded before Feng Xue's eyes. At the same time, he finally heard the voices of those Black Exoskeleton Soldier—

"Group Two calling Group One: The protective measures on the experimental building have been completely lifted, and we can evacuate at any time. What's the situation on your end?"

"One team received. They have entered the hangar where the Daji Project is located and are copying data. However, the finished product has already been transferred by the crew. Individual-level Xuanjia armor cannot penetrate the land-based warship."

"Bring the data back first! With three Immortal Master involved and only one land-based ship, they won't be able to escape Jizhou!"

"Clear!"

"The Daji Project? Land-based ships? Immortal Master? What kind of nonsense is this?" Feng Xue grinned, shifting his attention to the pile of information on his phone screen. As lines of text flowed past his eyes, his expression turned strange—

"What the hell is this plot twist? Is this some kind of Fengshen Seed?"
