A few guards passed by and saw this scene. They didn't hold back their sneers.
“Tsk, tsk, two poor wretches.”
“Being used as experiments, turned into cannon fodder, and completely brainwashed to be like them. It would be better to die.”
“Shut up.”
“What does it matter? They're all brainwashed anyway.”
Every glance was filled with indifference, revealing a condescending attitude as if they were looking at pets.
To the Sprout Organization, test subjects were just tools and cannon fodder.
As the whispers faded away, Han Xiao lowered his eyes to hide the determination in his eyes.
......
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Han Xiao figured out the terrain and personnel deployment of Valkyrie Labs.
The Valkyrie Laboratory was hidden underground, with three floors in total. As a secret laboratory, it wasn't very large. It was hidden in a forest in the wilderness, and supplies were replenished by airdrop.
There were a total of 60 armed guards stationed here. Hela was the head of the laboratory, and Lin Weixian was the head of the experiment. Every now and then, the organization would send a batch of “human raw materials” whose memories had been erased for experimentation.
This base was the main laboratory of the Valkyrie Project. Including Han Xiao and Number One, there were a total of 78 successful test subjects. Besides this place, the Sprout Organization had more than a dozen laboratory branches, mass-producing cannon fodder.
Most of these 78 successful test subjects were transferred to other places by helicopter. Only Number One led nine of the most talented test subjects to form a reserve elite squad and received training here.
Ever since the organization had reduced its attention on him, Han Xiao's life had become monotonous. Every day, apart from training, he stayed in the mechanical modification room, repairing and assembling firearms, which had basically become his entire world.
The guards were used to ignoring Han Xiao's existence. When their eyes passed over him, they didn't linger for a moment, as if Han Xiao was just like the wall, a mere background.
Being out of the limelight gave Han Xiao great convenience. He gained a large amount of experience from his continuous mechanical work. Like mistletoe, he quietly absorbed nutrients from the Sprout Organization under everyone's noses. Incidentally, he memorized the structures of many basic firearms. These basic technological weapons were ubiquitous, and as long as he assembled them many times, he could master their manufacturing methods, which were not among the skills recorded on the panel drawings.
The experience gained from assembling and reinforcing was separate. When Han Xiao couldn't gain experience from assembling anymore, he started to gain a new round of experience through reinforcing modifications. He was very cautious. Every time he finished reinforcing and modifying a firearm, he would restore it to its original state, hiding his abilities.
Through the training of Hela and Balota, he mastered the [Basic Fighting] and [Basic Shooting] skills. He also accidentally unlocked a natural specialty [Well Trained], which added an extra 100 points of basic life value, providing an additional guarantee for his life safety. He unlocked the sub-profession [Agent], and his total level reached level 4.
After continuous practice, [Simple Repair] and [Simple Strengthening Modification] reached level 4, and [Basic Fighting] and [Basic Shooting] reached level 2.
The mechanical department required a large amount of money to develop, which was one of the limitations of this department. Fortunately, the Sprout Organization provided the materials for free.
Until Han Xiao had assembled 90% of the firearm types in the arsenal, the experience he could gain at the base finally reached its limit.
600,000 experience points!
The accumulation of half a year!
In his previous life, the ratio of “reality” to game time was six to one. Half a year in this world was equivalent to one month in his previous life. Without doing quests or fighting monsters, this amount of experience was very substantial in the early stages, and only the Mechanical Department could accumulate such a large amount of experience under limited conditions.
......
“Approve Lin Weixian's request to dissect Zero. He has requested it several times.”
The chief said over the phone.
Hela frowned. “You've refused him many times as well.”
“The organization has invested resources in him, and it must get something in return.” The chief's tone was indifferent. “The only remaining value of a failure is to be disassembled for recycling. Zero is a failure.”
Hela bit her lip and said, “Understood.”
Zero's issue wasn't the focus of this call. The chief changed the subject, “How is the training of Number One's test subject squad going?”
“Very promising. They have great potential.”
“Very good. Send them to the Night Lords base for further training. I've dispatched a Night Lords squad to pick them up. They'll arrive in two or three days.”
“That's the day I'm supposed to visit my sister!” Hela's tone turned cold.
“You don't need to accompany the Night Lords squad on this mission.”
“Fine.”
