Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 652 Holm Reproductive Medical Center

"How ruthless," Long Yuehong remarked, looking at the corpse that no longer had any complete parts.

Just a few minutes ago, this had been an Awakened at the "Mind Corridor" level.

And his death stemmed from an attack by his companion.

Although even without the high-performance explosive thrown by that "assassin," Jiang Baimian's grenade could have killed him, the deceased did indeed die at the hands of his teammate, judging by the amount of force used.

Shang Jianyao sneered upon hearing this.

"Since he can't be saved anyway, we can't let us benefit cheaply."

He made no attempt to hide his regret.

If the "Old Task Force" had completed the kill, many of the deceased's items could have been preserved, possibly including unique items.

Jiang Baimian felt similarly. After all, she didn't yet have a powerful item of her own. The "Angel of Life" necklace she was using was only borrowed from Shang Jianyao.

Of course, as a kind, loving, gentle, and compassionate lady, she didn't show such emotions on her face.

"Search again. Perhaps there are items left," Jiang Baimian ordered.

Some items were not so easily destroyed due to their material.

The simplest example was that if Long Yuehong were naked and took a cannon blast, his T1 mechanical arm would at most be severely damaged, and could possibly be repaired.

Looking at the scattered body parts, minced meat, and blood, the members of the "Old Task Force" endured their disgust and searched for a while.

After a while, Bai Chen reported the results.

"Nothing."

Jiang Baimian sighed inwardly.

"Do the 'Nightmare's' minions carry items that are easily destroyed in order to conceal their identities, when they have the opportunity?"

"Or maybe they just like to fix the corresponding aura on things that look the most ordinary and are the easiest to carry," Shang Jianyao mused, stroking his chin. "For example, this one's sunglasses."

Jiang Baimian nodded.

"Provided that the negative consequences are relatively tolerable."

"Didn't he have any accessories?" Long Yuehong asked, feeling slightly puzzled.

Many accessories were quite resistant to explosions, especially those made of gold.

"Maybe his accessories weren't symmetrical enough and were forcibly disqualified from being containers," Shang Jianyao laughed.

Jiang Baimian looked away and glanced back at the Holm Fertility Medical Center.

"Since we can't find any loot, let's hurry up and explore the target location.

"That 'assassin' might return at any time, and the 'Nightmare's' power might regroup before long. The window of opportunity we have won't be too long."

That previous "cardiac arrest" might have been because they were too far apart, as if in two different worlds. Jiang Baimian felt that it hadn't caused fatal damage to the "Nightmare."

Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong had no objections. They followed their team leader, maintaining a certain distance, and walked step by step towards the Holm Fertility Medical Center.

On the way, Jiang Baimian didn't forget to pick up the weapons she had discarded earlier, but due to the negative effects of the "Angel of Life" necklace still in effect, she allowed the submachine gun to hang in front of her chest.

After the "Old Task Force" arrived at their destination, the automatic sensor glass doors of the Holm Fertility Medical Center suddenly slid open to both sides.

"It's still good?

"Is there still electricity here?"

Long Yuehong was surprised and blurted out.

Shang Jianyao, who was slightly ahead of him on the side, turned his head and laughed.

"It's just obeying my command."

He frankly admitted that the automatic sensor glass doors were opened by him interfering with the electromagnetic fields.

"Aren't you unable to do such precise operations?" Bai Chen asked on behalf of Long Yuehong.

Although it didn't reach Wu Meng's level, it far exceeded Shang Jianyao's previous standards.

Shang Jianyao explained simply.

"Because its structure is relatively intact and well-preserved, I only need to give it a certain electromagnetic stimulation to maintain the connection of a few aging and damaged parts, and it can sense people approaching on its own, thereby opening."

Jiang Baimian glanced at the guy and solemnly reminded him.

"Do similar things less here, or I'll think Wu Meng is here.

"I almost gave this sensor door a rocket just now."

Bang, bang, bang, Shang Jianyao applauded by patting the side of the "Berserker" assault rifle.

He didn't feel condemned at all. Instead, he took a step back and praised Jiang Baimian's vigilance.

"Eternal vigilance!"

Okay, now he's a believer of "Nether Aunt"... Jiang Baimian moved her lips slightly and took two steps to the side.

She made way for Long Yuehong because she didn't sense any bioelectrical signals or human consciousness.

Long Yuehong, wearing the "Blackswamp Iron Serpent" bionic intelligent armor, was now the "shield of the team," responsible for forward defense and exploring the unknown.

The honest Shang Jianyao didn't object to Jiang Baimian's actions, because he also didn't sense the existence of human consciousness.

With the slight sound of scales colliding with the ground, Long Yuehong, holding the "Berserker" assault rifle, walked into the Holm Fertility Medical Center.

Unlike the many shops in the ruins, which were messy, full of garbage, and had bones visible everywhere, this place maintained a certain degree of integrity and cleanliness. There were only two display stands that had fallen over, a few chairs lying diagonally on the ground, and traces of blackened blood splattered in some areas.

At a glance, Long Yuehong found that the lobby was simply decorated, with warm colors, mainly bright ones such as yellow, cyan, green, and red.

This was completely different from the classical flavor of the building itself.

Of course, the yellow-painted exterior walls had already foreshadowed this.

"How come this place wasn't destroyed by the 'Heartless' that were born after the Old World was destroyed..." Long Yuehong said with emotion.

Bai Chen, who came in last, speculated.

"Before the destruction of the Old World, there weren't many doctors, nurses, patients, or staff here, and there wasn't a large amount of food to plunder?"

"Maybe," Jiang Baimian said, holding the individual combat rocket launcher. "Everyone, spread out a little and look for clues in the lobby."

The honest Shang Jianyao followed up with a smile.

"Don't worry too much. Yes, Long, that's you. There shouldn't be any obvious dangers here.

"Think about it. This place is so close to First City. The 'Crystal Consciousness Church' has to come here to make pilgrimages and hold rituals. The dangers that are easy to encounter must have been cleared away by them one by one. Look, even the potential bones have been cleaned up."

What are you looking at? Is it necessary to call out my name? Although what you said makes sense... Long Yuehong muttered a few words in his heart and said.

"I'll check those books and materials."

The two display stands that had fallen over were used to display books, pictures, brochures, and other materials.

"Okay," Jiang Baimian didn't reject Long Yuehong's self-recommendation.

The members of the "Old Task Force" then dispersed, but remained within a certain distance.

Long Yuehong walked to the nearest display stand, knelt down on one knee, stretched out his T1 mechanical arm, and picked up a stack of paper materials that had turned yellow and brittle but were not so fragile that they would break at a touch.

They were written in Red River language, and the names were:

《Things Newlyweds Need to Know》

《Facing Infertility Correctly》

《The Impact of Time, Mood, and Position on Pregnancy》

……

Long Yuehong under the "Blackswamp Iron Serpent" bionic intelligent armor looked slightly embarrassed.

Is this the material I can look at now?

While he was a little stunned, he noticed Shang Jianyao approaching another display stand, squatting down, and collecting those books, pictures, and brochures.

"What, what's the use of taking these?" Long Yuehong asked hesitantly.

Shang Jianyao turned his body, his face solemn.

"These are all holy objects!"

After speaking, he stretched out his arms and made a gesture of holding a baby, gently rocking it.

"New life is like the sun, life is the most important!"

Okay, now he is a loyal member of the "Ceremony of Life" sect, Shang Jianyao, a devout believer of "Life"... Jiang Baimian withdrew her gaze from the display stand area.

She walked towards a wall near the front desk.

There were picture frames hanging there, some of which had fallen to the ground and shattered.

The picture frames contained photos of celebrities and large companies visiting the Holm Fertility Medical Center. Jiang Baimian scanned them one by one and even saw some names she had seen in certain books in the Old World.

It feels like digging up history... Jiang Baimian felt quite satisfied.

While carefully observing, her gaze suddenly stopped on one of the picture frames.

The photo inside was very ordinary. It was a group photo of a man suspected to be the director of the Holm Fertility Medical Center and a visiting team.

The words below pointed out the corresponding identity.

"Northern Company Vice President Auk led a team to visit..."

What attracted Jiang Baimian's attention was the name of this company.

Northern Company!

Jiang Baimian remembered clearly that the *Fah He Post* that Wu Meng asked Fei Lington to take away from this relic had such a news item.

"The 29th International Biotechnology Expo was held in Fah He. Northern Company showcased the latest genetic research results..."

At that time, the "Old Task Force" associated it with a certain place in the north that treated Fan Wensi's vegetative son, and a certain hospital in the north that allowed Jiang Xiaoyue, the owner of Room "503," to receive treatment as a volunteer before the destruction of the Old World.
