Chapter 69: Mobius Snake Nest

Ryan didn't throw Mobius out of the car in the end, not because he felt sorry for her, but because the woman was clinging to him too tightly, just like a snake, and he couldn't pull her off without real effort.

So the two of them remained in a stalemate in some kind of 'fighting skills' posture for several hours. The pickup truck passed through several checkpoints and finally stopped in front of a half buried building. Only then did the two of them let go, their chests heaving violently.

"This Mobius must have been deeply transformed, and his strength and endurance are not weak."

Ryan moved his ankles. His feet were numb from the past few hours, but he didn't want Mobius to give him a fatal blow.

"Ryan, you could be more of a gentleman sometimes."

Mobius breathing became more intense. Even though the man didn't really do anything, she had used all her strength. Her hands were sore and weak. Looking down, she saw that the stockings at the base of her thighs were a little untied.

This kind of battle damaged version can really arouse the gossip of some gentlemen.

"Then please be a lady first."

"Humph, don't look at me with such worldly eyes."

"Then why do you ask me to be a gentleman?!"

Ryan straightened his back and ignored the strange woman, because all the Fire Moth guards around him had ambiguous expressions that said "this is really fun", and they thought the two of them had done something in the car.

In fact, it was indeed a sex scene in the car, but the specific content of the sex scene was slightly different. The most tired person was the driver Klein, who had already leaned on the steering wheel and could not get up.

He looked at the dark building in front of him. Most of it was buried in the bare mountain. It looked like an abandoned villa. If it weren't for the surrounding watchtowers and barbed wire, it would not be visible from a distance.

"Apocalypse shelter?"

"Well, it was converted from one of the League of Nations shelters. It's more than a hundred meters underground, with five nuclear grade protective doors and special ventilation facilities." Mobius immediately perked up, forgetting the slight unhappiness he had just felt.

She has a special talent. She can remember many things in an instant and forget some things in an instant.

The defenses are very strict. That's why the muzzles of those machine guns are facing the gate, as if they are preventing someone's experiment from failing.

Ryan saw through it but didn't say anything. He just said casually, "Your snake nest is quite solid."

"It's the Fifth Institute, the temple of science . You will never be able to afford the instruments inside in your lifetime." Mobius rolled his eyes, held his head high, and walked forward with a clattering clatter, looking quite dignified.

The guard at the door saw that it was Mobius who came back, and quickly pressed the button. With the sound of "clattering", the thick iron door slowly opened.

There really was a different world inside. This villa was more like a gate. The inside and the entire mountain had been hollowed out. Dozens of researchers could be seen there, as well as various sophisticated instruments. Those people looked very busy, and each of them was jogging with documents in their arms.

"This is a peripheral research laboratory, and they are generally responsible for helping me. So even if I go out, the research progress will not stop." Mobius explained lightly, his tone a bit like a child showing off a satisfying toy.

It's okay to help out. Those bald guys have been on the cover of biology journals. And these equipment are many times richer than those in Qianyu Academy.

"It's indeed a luxurious lineup."

"Every research institute in Fire Moth is like this. They are divided by field, and every researcher has insights in their respective fields. This is why I can tolerate them."

Ryan nodded again. This was the value of the Fire Moths. No one else could bring together these smartest minds and provide astronomical funding. This was also the fundamental reason why Ryan tolerated it.

Mei, Vil-V, and Mobius are all leaders of this era, but research needs more "unknown" assistants. Science is not a vanity fair of personal heroism, which requires countless "cannon fodder".

"So the Fifth Research Institute is focused on genetic engineering, and this is also your area of ​​expertise?"

"The first half of the sentence is correct, but the second half -" Mobius brought a white coat over and raised his chin slightly, "I can do anything. Follow me."

This... is really arrogant.

Ryan snorted in annoyance and followed Mobius silently. He saw her straighten her back and walk with the sound of her high heels, like a queen inspecting her kingdom.

The research team leaders immediately gathered around, following quickly while reporting on tablets.

"Dr. Mobius, the test on sample N3021 has been completed. This is the summary report."

"Doctor, we have tried the requirements in the third memorandum 35 times, with a success rate of 7%."

"We just finished our discussion with the First Research Institute, and they came up with 17 hypotheses. Here are the details."

"Dr..."

Ryan looked at Mobius who was surrounded by a group of bald men. She was no longer as weird as before. She just had a cold face and kept scanning the information with his eyes, occasionally giving some instructions, looking like a real big boss.

"You made a mistake. Such a low level mistake. Do you need to go back to school and practice again?"

"If the experimental data is incomplete, do it again. If the materials are insufficient, apply to the higher-ups. Rejection? Then bombard them with information until they get impatient."

It is true that everyone has a different face and it is hard to understand.

After being in the former civilization for so long, Mobius and Elysia were the two people he found most unpredictable. Mei and Vil-V were better, not to mention those self-righteous senior officials.

He was thinking as he walked, and when he looked up, he found that the crowd had all stopped and turned to look, and Mobius and Klein had entered an elevator and were waving at him.

Ryan frowned slightly, and soon understood why it was called the Peripheral Research Laboratory, but the looks of these bald heads made him a little annoyed.

Playfulness, ambiguity, and disdain.

Do you think I am Mobius male lover, who is here to accompany her and relieve her loneliness?

He was too lazy to explain, and just said "Excuse me" and went straight into the elevator. When the door closed, Mobius, who had just looked like an indifferent researcher, immediately laughed out loud.

"Aren't you disgusted by the look in their eyes?"

"A little, but I'm not playing the role of Dragon King. Besides, research is not something that can be directly quantified like military strength. Do I have to compare my diplomas and qualifications with them?" Ryan shrugged. Looking at the appearance of those people, they were extremely smart and all of them had a doctorate.

"Diplomas and qualifications are meaningless. Do you know why I have to ask you for help?"

"Do you have strong working ability or do you want to take out a loan to work?"

"Neither." Mobius came over quietly and lowered his voice, "You learn very quickly, and your occasional bursts of inspiration surpass those dullards. If you can concentrate on research, your achievements will not be inferior to mine. This overturns another hypothesis of mine."

"What assumption?"

"You are getting stronger, not just in terms of strength, nor in terms of superficial devouring and plundering. This is a kind of evolution that interests me more. It is an all round evolution in terms of intelligence, physical strength, and even knowledge."

Ryan pupils shrank slightly. This Mobius was so smart. She gradually got to the truth after just a short contact.

His destiny is not devouring or predatory. For example, the authority of the Herrscher he just obtained is just a cornerstone waiting for him to develop, which of course has both good and bad sides.

The disadvantage is that it cannot be used immediately, but the advantage is that it is highly concealed. If he really swallowed it, the Fire Moth is not a fool and will of course check the Herrscher Core. As long as it detects energy changes, it can guess the truth.

"Being too smart can easily lead to early death." Ryan grinned and saw satisfaction in Mobius eyes.

If there was no denial, then she had guessed it right. She really liked this kind of guessing game, and she knew Ryan was fulfilling his promise, so she immediately took advantage of it.

Mobius practically hung on Ryan, leaning his head close to his ear, speaking in a lazy and seductive tone.

"Then why did you evolve? Don't worry, the Fire Moth can only monitor the upper areas. Just speak up. Come on, tell me everything."

The black stockings were caressing the trousers, and Ryan hands had sunk into the peaks, feeling the soft touch. The heat from Mobius breath made his ears itchy.

Klein quickly turned her head away and looked at the numbers on the elevator. The scene was a little too exciting for her.

Ryan stood quietly, as if he was not affected at all. It took him a long time to turn his head and meet the burning gaze.

"you guess."

The originally hot air in the small elevator cooled down rapidly. The expression on Mobius face froze, and she put down his hand as if changing his expression, and pushed Ryan.

"Humph, I'll squeeze all your secrets out sooner or later!"

"Haha, it's a waste of effort. Just give it a try."

The two glared at each other, and just then the elevator door opened with a ding, diverting each other's attention.

The lights were dim and the corridor was shining with a dull metallic glow. Ryan then realized that the underground area was extremely large, but everything was silent, a bit like something out of a horror movie.

This is the real lair of Mobius. The only one who can enter is his assistant, Klein. No wonder it looks so scary. Looking through the thick explosion proof glass, the scene inside is even more terrifying.

Bubbles were rising from the glass container, which was filled with body tissues or mutated organs, including animals and human bodies, and of course, various levels of Honkai beasts.

"Isn't it beautiful? My research institute, the hotbed of human evolution." Mobius felt much better when he saw Ryan bumpkin appearance.

"I think horror is more appropriate. He looks like a villain no matter how you look at him."

"Vulgar, there is no distinction between justice and evil in science. Let me tell you first, I have never forced anyone to participate in the experiment." Mobius snorted, then looked at Ryan expression and frowned, "I don't mean to explain to you, but... I don't want you to have a sense of justice."

After saying this, she turned and left, leaving Ryan a little confused.

I'm not a saint, why should I be so righteous? And what is there to explain? Isn't human experimentation the basic operation of the Fire Moth?

Without giving it much thought, he followed Mobius through the dim and narrow corridor and arrived at the core laboratory.

This place is probably over ten thousand square meters, with archive rooms, specimen rooms, and operating rooms. There are some instruments inside that even Ryan has never seen before, which shows how huge the investment is.

"Just take a look at it while I input the information. Klein, come and help me."

You, the master, just throw me aside?

Ryan resisted the urge to destroy the two machines and make Mobius miserable, and slowly paced in the laboratory. He found that the configuration here was extremely luxurious, in sharp contrast to the broken pickup truck. Any one of the machines could buy ten luxury cars.

Mobius is a very proud person. She would rather ride in a broken pickup truck than just ask the Fire Moth to send someone to pick her up. She could get more funding by showing loyalty, but she refuses to ask for help.

'Am I perhaps the only person she ever begged?'

Ryan grinned, feeling good for some reason, the feeling of wanting something but not getting it made him full of joy, but at this moment, he heard a light "eh".

"What's wrong?"

Mobius stood in front of the computer, his hands on the table, frowning with some confusion, and waved for Ryan to come over.

"While I was at Canghai, someone broke into the lab and copied the data from the central computer. Their skills were amazing. They were able to crack my secret key."

Ryan was puzzled. The Fifth Research Institute was heavily guarded. It was impossible for anyone to sneak in. There was no need to sneak in. If anyone opposed genetic modification, wouldn't it be better to just blow it up? Unless -

Was it done by the Fire Moth themselves?
