Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Blue Potion

After everyone entered the door, although still in shock, they remained vigilant.

Gu Fan saw a large and well-equipped laboratory with many instruments and containers filled with liquid, which housed various bizarre creatures.

As they walked through the laboratory, they paid close attention to their surroundings.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Yi looked at the creatures inside the containers and, feeling a bit frightened by these strange things, said, "These creatures won’t attack us like the monsters in the arena, will they?"

Ouyang Jin shook his head and sighed, no longer having the energy to deal with this doomsayer.

Artificial intelligence Xiaolan popped out and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, as long as I don’t permit it, the creatures in here will continue to sleep."

Hearing this, everyone felt a bit tense and secretly complained.

Gu Fan asked, "The creatures in the arena have survived for a long time. Normally, life shouldn’t last that long; it must be because of this liquid."

The artificial intelligence nodded, "Exactly, this liquid can prolong life by inducing a state of hibernation. It’s one of the lab’s inventions for immortality, though the method is not ideal."

Su Hui expressed her understanding, "Who would want to stay asleep forever? And if I’m not mistaken, staying in this liquid for too long would also cause physical mutations."

"That’s right, the creatures you saw earlier have changed because they’ve been in this liquid for too long," Xiaolan replied indifferently, conveying an important message that this form of immortality was a failed product.

Gu Fan frowned and said, "Previously, you mentioned a group known as the X Family who came here and acquired a method to become vampires."

Artificial intelligence Xiaolan nodded, "Yes, the greatest invention of this lab was a method to achieve immortality without hibernation. However, this method has three major flaws: the inability to move in sunshine, vulnerability to being killed by a wooden stake through the heart, and a slight transformation towards being monstrous."

Gu Fan considered his options; he had visited three ancient Super Civilization sites that studied immortality: here, vampires, in the Triangle Sea Area, the experiment aimed at turning people into Sea Ghosts, and the most perfect form of immortality was found at Yuxueyun Mountain.

Then Xiaolan turned her gaze on Zhuo Hang, curiously scrutinizing, "You are quite unique. Your regeneration ability is even stronger than those vampires. Do you possess a more perfect form of immortality?"

Zhuo Hang did not respond, but Gu Fan pressed further, "Tell me, after the X Family left here, what did they take from this place?"

"I can tell you what you want to know and give you what you want, but you have to promise me one thing," Xiaolan’s smiling demeanor seemed like she was up to something mischievous.

"Alright, state your conditions," Gu Fan knew there was no room for negotiation and had to agree.

Artificial intelligence Xiaolan thought carefully, as she seemed to have something very important to say, thus she had to be cautious.

Everyone waited for a while before Xiaolan finally spoke, "When the creators of this facility evacuated, they placed a batch of very important items on a spaceship, but unfortunately, someone deliberately sabotaged the ship, causing it to crash just after takeoff, and it fell right beneath Dark City."

Gu Fan, Su Hui, Lin Xi, Zhuo Hang, Ouyang Jin, and Lu Yi were shocked; they finally understood why Organization X had their headquarters in this location.

Xiaolan continued, "If the items on that spaceship fall into the hands of Organization X, it would be very dangerous, so I am asking you to destroy it."

"So that’s why you are willing to give us something to counteract the vampires," Gu Fan realized, but then rethought and asked another question, "Why then did you treat us so harshly, putting us in dangerous and embarrassing situations multiple times?"

"To begin with, I was simply following commands to eliminate intruders, but later, I found out you were against Organization X, and then I saw your resilience. So, I wanted to test whether you truly had the capability to oppose Organization X. After all, there’s only one weapon against vampires, and it shouldn’t be wasted," explained Xiaolan.

"I see, we’ve passed your test, then there wouldn’t be any danger from now on, right?" Lu Yi looked hopeful.

Xiaolan nodded, "Correct, I acknowledge you and have decided to hand over the weapon to you. I truly hope you make good use of it. Honestly, Organization X has been desperately trying to break in again just to destroy the only weapon that can control them." After saying this, a machine opened, and a canister emitting a blue reagent appeared.

Everyone inspected it closely before turning their attention back to Xiaolan.

"The researchers here invented a red potion that could grant immortality and turn a person into a vampire, with vampire blood also capable of turning others into vampires. The X Family had previously obtained this red potion here, and this blue potion was invented to counteract the red one," Xiaolan just finished, when Ouyang Jin raised his hand to ask, "Then why didn’t the X Family destroy the blue potion when they left?"

Xiaolan gave a bitter smile, "The X Family did not know the function of the blue potion at the time and were eager to escape, thereby missing it. However, they have always wanted to destroy the blue potion, including anything else here, as everything has tremendous value. Hence, for hundreds of years, they have continuously organized expeditions to explore this place."

"Celemonying so many attempts to invade here over the centuries, luckily they never succeeded, otherwise who in this world could ever suppress Organization X," Gu Fan took a good look at the tube of blue potion, realizing that if there really was just this small amount, it indeed needed to be entrusted to reliable hands.

Although Gu Fan understood Xiaolan’s reasons for continuously imposing trials for safety, after all the suffering they endured, it still left him feeling somewhat frustrated.

Seeing everyone’s aggrieved expressions, Xiaolan said, "Don’t be upset, I was just testing you without any intention of extermination. Otherwise, if I had used the high-tech weapons here, you wouldn’t have survived a single round."
