After breaking through the main gate, due to the inability of the mechs to enter because of their size, Reno emerged from his mech and casually took a laser gun from one of the dead soldiers before stepping inside.
A three-dimensional receptionist, unaffected by the ongoing battle, popped up and issued a pleasant reminder, "Welcome to the Edward Gene Hospital. Founded by Dr. Edward in the year 7158, this hospital primarily focuses on genetic research and medical care, providing services such as genetic enhancement, aging delay, disease resistance, and also genetic beauty and inheritance services for some beauty enthusiasts..."
The sound of military boots echoed on the shattered glass as Reno walked through the hospital corridor.
The hospital was eerily quiet.
Normally, after such intense fighting outside, there should have been some commotion inside, but there was nothing.
Reno pondered for a moment and then pulled out a small item from his bag.
It looked like an earring. Reno pinched it and it seemed to come alive, suddenly moving and unfolding into a coiled metal dragonfly, buzzing its wings.
Releasing it, Reno watched the metal dragonfly take flight.
It moved at incredible speed, flying around the floors, continuously relaying real-time information.
The information was directly transmitted to Reno's personal terminal.
Flying from downstairs to upstairs, the dragonfly found no one.
The entire building was empty, with only some beds and seemingly ordinary medical equipment.
Reno noticed a used cup on one of the beds.
"Check the cup," Reno ordered.
The dragonfly flew over and lightly touched it with a metal probe, then replied, "Water temperature inside the cup is thirty-two degrees, saliva residue detected, confirming recent usage."
"So, there's someone here? That's good." Reno commanded the dragonfly to make another round but found no one.
He muttered, "If there's no way up, there must be a way down. Scan the building, search for internal passages."
The metal dragonfly began emitting invisible waves in circles.
"Building scan complete. Secret elevator found at B12 passage, leading to underground space."
Reno walked toward the B12 passage, and the metal dragonfly followed. After circling around a wall, it settled on an inconspicuous lion head sculpture.
Approaching it, Reno manipulated the lion head, and with a rumble, the wall opened, revealing an elevator.
"Mysterious design. Did Dr. Edward plan something clandestine when establishing this hospital?" Reno mused to himself before stepping in.
The elevator had no levels. Upon activation, it descended directly downward. For safety, Reno didn't stand at the door but held onto the top, suspending himself above.
After descending about a hundred meters, the elevator finally stopped.
As the door opened, darkness greeted him.
Seeing no immediate threat, Reno jumped down and activated his communicator, "Nora, can you hear me?"
"Nora received, your signal is weak. I can't sense your location. Where are you?" Nora replied.
"I'm about a hundred and twenty to a hundred and fifty meters underground, in an underground structure. I'll send you synchronous observations."
Saying so, Reno activated his signal transmitter.
