The forest housed over a dozen container-like houses, neatly arranged in various colors.
From time to time, individuals in lab coats scurried about, carrying documents.
Xu Qian lowered her voice, "Almost everyone is here."
Aside from this area, there were patrols, and generally, no one else was around.
Xiang Jintian frowned and asked, "Can you sense how many people there are?"
Xu Qian counted carefully, "Across all the containers, there are fifty people in total."
Xiang Jintian continued to inquire, "Approximately how many people are in each container?"
"Other containers hold four or five, but one only has a single person."
Xiang Jintian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's go, we'll scout the situation first."
"Alright."
The two waited from day until night, finally sneaking in after evading several patrol teams.
Xu Qian cautiously opened a cabinet door, and despite her gentleness, it made a "clanking" sound.
A smell of urine wafted out from within.
Xu Qian frowned and peered inside.
Inside the container was a massive iron cage; the entire unit could practically be considered a prison.
Light filtered in through the bars.
Suddenly, a person crawled out from a corner of the cage.
Both of them widened their eyes in surprise.
Xiang Jintian subtly drew the pistol from his waist, in case he made any sudden moves.
The man was tall, not just tall, but exceptionally so.
He stood nearly five meters high, his feet braced against the cage, yet he appeared timid.
His hair was shaved into a crew cut, his features plain, and his arms were muscular.
His black eyes, the size of eggs, were fixed on them.
The man lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?"
The two exchanged glances. Xiang Jintian asked sternly, "What is this?"
The man sighed and said, "They captured me for experimentation..."
Xu Qian looked at his physique and inexplicably thought of someone.
"Did they say why they are doing this experiment?"
The man recalled.
"They said it was for their princess..." The man's eyes flickered, and he snapped back to attention.
Realizing he had been tricked into talking.
"Why should I tell you? What are you doing here? I've never seen you before."
Xu Qian scoffed, her eyes cold.
"They turned you into this, and you're still going to keep their secrets for them?"
The man raised an eyebrow, "Even if I have a grudge against them, I'm not familiar with you. Why should I provide information for free?"
The two looked at each other.
Xu Qian spoke, negotiating, "I can help you get out."
The man's eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed.
"With me like this, how can I get out?"
They were all normal people, only he was...
Xu Qian felt his condition was not a big deal; with that physique, even zombies would be afraid of him.
Just as she was about to persuade him further.
The man spoke, "I was captured and brought here a year ago. This experiment was invented for the Yu family's princess.
The purpose of the experiment is to use our bodies to repair her deceased one. Countless people died in this past year, and only I remain..."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow; it was exactly as she had thought.
For Yu Wan'er.
Xu Qian continued to ask, "What is the relationship between the Yu family and X?"
The man replied casually, "This is a branch of the X Corporation. The Yu family and X Corporation are in a cooperative relationship, so the Yu family is borrowing their facilities for experimentation."
Xu Qian's eyes moved slightly; the X Corporation was the behind-the-scenes big boss of the Yu family.
"Is Yu Wan'er's brain also here?"
The man's brow twitched; he hadn't expected her to know so much.
After all, not many people knew about Yu Wan'er's matter at the base.
