A hundred meters underground, the Mental Strength he had spread out scanned the blasted-open underground facility layer by layer like a sphere.
Large amounts of broken, burned-through wires were exposed.
Through the drilled cross-section, Lin An could vaguely see some strange column-shaped devices, like life-support systems for preserving biological specimens.
"Lin An, what is that?"
Her gaze flickering, Mo Ling pointed at the shattered rectangular glass tank about seventy meters underground, where the strata had broken apart.
Broken green nutrient fluid dripped steadily, while a corpse with only half a body hung amid the ruins.
From its appearance, it looked like a skinned frog, with abnormally thick muscles in its lower legs.
"Some kind of"
"biological experiment?"
Thoughtful, Lin An watched the images returned by his Mental Strength scan.
This enormous complex, reaching 170 meters underground, had corpses of various organisms piled throughout most of its area.
At a rough glance, everything from mammals to primates could be seen—in fact, every species in the ecosystem.
The entire research center was like a specimen exhibition hall.
Tens of thousands of dissected limbs and grotesquely stitched-together creatures filled a hall-like building.
The purpose here seemed to be researching the differences between various organisms.
As if they were searching for something.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lin An was not overly concerned by the horrifying scenes in the underground facility.
However, as they descended rapidly, he also discovered something abnormal.
Throughout the entire underground complex, aside from the corpses in the Core Laboratory shown in the fragmented images, there was not a trace of humans anywhere else.
Logically speaking, the Crystal Skull had first appeared here before spreading to the surface.
How could such a massive research institution possibly be short on people?
He had originally prepared himself for the possibility that
