From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 452 Bloodline Conversion Experiment

213 Valkyrie Coastal Highway.

This is a six-story building with no other registration information besides the address and necessary documents such as construction approval.

It's not unusual for buildings like this to lack business registration information.

If no one investigates, it would just be an ordinary six-story building built along a coastal highway.

After obtaining the address from the black mercenary captain, Lu Heng had already sent it to the war zone intelligence system.

The reply I received was that no useful information could be found.

If Su Muyu hadn't found a researcher's name tag outside the building, she would have had no idea what the building was for.

Upon learning that the building was a laboratory, Lu Heng immediately thought of the experiments that might be being conducted there.

Bloodline conversion experiment.

In Lu Heng's memory, the base was clearly located around the end of March in the third year after the Abyss descended.

An organization called the "Human Evolution Project" has appeared on Earth and announced its evolutionary direction.

Later generations of superhumans referred to this human evolution plan as the "Bloodline Conversion Project".

The Human Evolution Organization will announce a plan in three months that will enable humanity to rapidly evolve into a powerful race.

It means transforming into a bloodline race.

This organization is clever; it didn't name itself "Bloodline Evolution".

Because most superhumans have encountered bloodline demons in the Abyss Battlefield, they will instinctively show hostility as soon as they hear the words "bloodline".

If this organization were to name itself the "Bloodline Evolution Organization," it would face opposition from the vast majority of the public when it announced its plans.

However, this organization named itself the "Organization for Human Evolution".

It sounds completely different; it sounds like it's helping humanity evolve into a more powerful race.

The public's first reaction was not opposition, but rather a desire to understand what this organization actually did.

Of course, the names are different, but the things they do are actually the same.

The evolutionary direction announced by the Human Evolution Organization is to transform into a bloodline race.

Furthermore, the published plan provides detailed experimental data, as well as the power rating obtained after conversion into a bloodline.

After this information was released, those who truly understood the consequences of bloodline transformation knew that it was a path of no return.

However, not everyone can understand the reasoning behind it.

In this era where order is on the verge of collapse, most people are struggling to survive.

When a person struggles to survive, they lose all ideals and aspirations and only seek the strength to live.

Bloodline conversion can indeed grant power.

Therefore, after this bloodline conversion plan was announced, it received enough support to shake up the world order.

An official media outlet once compiled statistics on the support rate for the bloodline conversion plan among ordinary people, concluding that 62% opposed it, 28% were unaware of it, and 10% expressed support, either explicitly or implicitly.

A 10% approval rating may not seem high on its own, but it becomes alarming when considering the population size.

This means that 7 million people worldwide support it.

Moreover, this approval rating is higher than that of the Adventists of the Bex civilization.

At its peak, the Sykes Adventists only had a 7% approval rating.

The "bloodline conversion project" in the human world has received 10% support, which is a terrifying number.

One reason why this "bloodline conversion project" has received such high support is that it has released complete experimental data.

The final conclusion shows that conversion to a bloodline can bring many benefits.

For example, it can revitalize cells and even help hundreds of diseases improve automatically.

For example, diseases related to blood can be cured as long as the bloodline is successfully converted.

Especially for incurable blood diseases, with current human medical technology, there is almost no cure except for bone marrow transplantation.

However, if one is converted to a bloodline, the disease can be cured.

To be precise, it's not a cure, but rather that the bloodline can obtain large amounts of blood from the outside world and can ignore blood type barriers.

To be fair, any patient with this type of illness would be inclined to support this bloodline conversion plan.

After all, if even life cannot be guaranteed, then any lofty ideals are just empty talk.

As for the possibility of being summoned by the abyss after being transformed into a bloodline, that's a matter that ordinary people don't have the energy to consider.

……

The reason why the bloodline conversion project has achieved such a high success rate is that a large number of experiments were conducted before the project was announced.

Prior to the announcement of this plan, there was no information available about this research.

It is evident that the Berg family maintained extreme secrecy during this research.

Not only in the previous life, but the situation is similar in this life as well.

The elves were all conscripted, but they were still completely controlled by the Berg family and the bloodline demons.

If it weren't for the magical communication orb sending out some information beforehand, this Abyss Battle would have ended before it even officially began.

Given the current situation, the abyss battlefield from my previous life should have ended quietly as well.

Lu Heng had no memory of this abyss battlefield, and didn't even know what race he was conscripted into in his previous life.

The elves were the ones summoned in this life because they preserved their main city and their people began to revive, which is why they were summoned.

Those who were conscripted in the previous life were probably from other races, perhaps Dark Iron Dwarves or Siren.

In either case, the outcome would likely be the same: the Berg family, in alliance with the Blood Demons, would wipe them out in one fell swoop, and the Abyss Battle would end silently without any news.

……

Lu Heng suddenly understood many things, and only came back to his senses when Su Muyu asked him.

"Do you want to take action?"

"Okay, let's move out. Notify Lin Zeyu and the others to launch a feint attack on the Red Spider base and see how they react." Lu Heng nodded and made the decision.

Su Muyu pressed the intercom to notify Lin Zeyu and Xie Shien to take action.

A few seconds later, a burst of light from an explosion came from the Red Spider base to the south, and another half minute passed before the sound of the explosion was heard.

Followed by.

Movement began to appear at building number 213 on the Valkyrie coastal road.

Two groups of mercenaries, totaling thirty men, rushed out, got into the vehicle, and drove south.

"Thirty of them are all superhuman mercenaries, consistent with the information we received earlier. There are no blood demons among them. The blood demons should still be inside this building," Su Muyu confirmed the number.

The number of Bloodline Demons recruited from the Abyss Battlefield this time is ten, which means there are ten high-level Bloodline Demons in this building.

Since the Allied Summoners and Abyss Summoners are of similar rank, it can be determined that the level of these ten Bloodline Demons is similar to that of Fiona.

The powerful Bloodline Demon leading the group is likely to be similar in strength to Fiona. The other Bloodline Demons will be slightly weaker, but their levels won't differ too much. This means that the Bloodline Demons in this building are at least level 50, and ten level 50+ Bloodline Demons are not easy to deal with.

Moreover, these ten bloodline demons must be a complete team, including perceivers and support demons.

If it were a direct confrontation, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Rescuing people now is more difficult than fighting a direct battle.

"Give me an invisibility field, I'll go in and try it out, you stay outside and provide support."

Lu Heng and the others covered themselves with an invisible force field, then used [Shadow Travel] to sink into the ground and approach the laboratory.

Sufficiently thick soil can block the detection of those who can sense it, so in most cases, burrowing underground can avoid detection by most of those who can sense it.

Unless the opponent has the Earth element.

When Lu Heng got within ten meters of the building, he sensed something was wrong with the soil in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that an earth elemental was hiding underground.

Earth is one of the elemental organisms.

Both the Flame Demon and the Lava Demon are elemental creatures, but they have different attributes.

The life structure of the earth element is an elemental energy core, which gathers soil and rocks of different masses to form a "body" according to different energy levels.

To be precise, the rocks on an earth elemental are not actually its body, but more like its clothing.

Breaking the rocks on an earth elemental does no harm to it; at most, it consumes a little elemental energy to gather the soil and rocks back together.

Earth elements can burrow underground and hide in the soil.

If it weren't for the divine effect of [Shadow Travel], which allows him to activate shadow vision, Lu Heng wouldn't have been able to see this earth element at all.

Earth elementals have absolute control over the soil environment within their area of ​​influence. In other words, if you try to rush through using [Shadow Walk], you will be detected by the earth elemental.

This earth elemental was most likely brought over by the Bloodline Demon.

The moment Lu Heng saw the earth element, he turned around without hesitation and returned to the ground.

Unaware of the situation underground, Su Muyu asked, "What's wrong? Can't we get in?"

“There’s an earth elemental underground; we can’t get through.” Lu Heng’s expression became very serious.

After a moment's thought, Su Muyu said, "How about I try to find the place where the elves are being held first, and then proceed with the next step of the plan?"

Lu Heng nodded in agreement: "Okay, but we need to be quick."

Lin Zeyu and Xie Shien are launching a feint attack on the Red Spider base, but they can't hold out for long.

Once the mercenaries in the Red Spider unit realize it's a feint, they will definitely return immediately.

Su Muyu nodded vigorously, then condensed a handful of Life Tree vine seeds, which she had the Azure Phoenix carry upwards and into the building.

……

The invisible seeds of the Tree of Life vine fell onto the roof of the building and rolled into the building's interior through various holes.

The seeds of the Tree of Life vine sprout inside the building and grow along ventilation ducts, water pipes, wall cracks, and other places.

Three minutes later.

In a cell of a six-story building, a vine of life grows out from a crack.

An elf, whose hands and feet were bound by shackles, saw the vines of life extending from the corner of the wall and his eyes widened in surprise.

The elves were very familiar with the Tree of Life vine.

Currently, the only people who still possess the Tree of Life Vine are Elder Serene, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, and Su Muyu.

Since Serene and the Tree of Knowledge could not possibly exist in the human world, this vine of life could only have been released by Su Muyu.

The elf who saw the Tree of Life was none other than Eric, the captain of the Elf Guard.

He was covered in wounds, clearly indicating that the previous battle had been very intense.

His hands and feet were bound by shackles, which had a magic-suppressing effect, so he could not use any magical energy.

Furthermore, strenuous exercise can also trigger high-voltage currents in the shackles, resulting in electric shock.

Therefore, without the help of outsiders, it is impossible to break free from these shackles.

Eric slowly moved his body to block the Tree of Life vines and avoid being detected by the surveillance cameras.

Then, he spoke softly: "Is it you? The Elf's most trusted ally."

The Tree of Life vines were unable to respond, but Su Muyu, who was outside the building, did hear Eric's voice.

Because Su Muyu is learning a nature magic called [Forest Whisperer], and the Tree of Life vine is of course considered a plant.

Therefore, Su Muyu could hear all the sounds that the Tree of Life vine could hear.

Eric didn't care about anything else and hurriedly explained the situation: "I am Eric. I was conscripted with General Fiona. We have ten warriors. Emily is seriously injured and needs treatment."

"And General Fiona was taken away by the Blood Demon, probably to be used for experiments."

"These damned demons have been trying to convert our elves into blood descendants, and they definitely want to experiment on General Fiona."

……

Exterior of the building.

Su Muyu repeated every word she heard.

After listening, Lu Heng said, "Will Berg and the Bloodline Clan are too greedy. They not only want to convert humans into Bloodlines, but they also want to convert elves."

The Elven race does indeed have a strong natural resistance to invasion by bloodline due to its slow reproduction cycle.

However, this does not mean that elves cannot be transformed into bloodlines.

From the perspective of the elven race's physical structure, they possess the basic conditions to transform into bloodline demons.

The only difference is that it's much more difficult than transforming humans.

……

Lu Heng then asked, "Where are they located? Are there enough of them?"

"In a cell on the third floor, and every elven warrior is injured. One of the perceivers, Emily, is injured. Eric hopes we can treat Emily as soon as possible." Su Muyu pointed to a location on the sixth floor of the building.

She paused, then added, "Right now, we only know the locations of nine people. Fiona was taken to the lab, and we don't know where she is. I tried to look for her, but I couldn't find her."

Lu Heng pondered for a moment. Now that they were going in to rescue people, they had to be quick and absolutely could not linger.

After all, these elven warriors were injured, and engaging in prolonged combat would inevitably result in casualties.

"Should we rescue them now? Lin Zeyu has already sent a message saying they're preparing to leave," Su Muyu reminded them.

Lin Zeyu and Xie Shi'en were only two people, and it was impossible for them to take down the Red Spider base on their own. They could only launch a feint attack.

Once they leave, the mercenaries from the Red Spider base will arrive, making it even more difficult to rescue them.

"Never mind, we'll save as many as we can. Let's rescue these nine elven warriors first, then I'll try to find Fiona. If I can't find her, we'll retreat and figure out a solution later."

As soon as he spoke, Lu Heng immediately took action, using Shadow Step again to unleash five times the speed of sound and rushing towards the cell on the third floor.
