“I have to hurry up!”

Grimm quickly examined the corpse of the experimental subject and tried to use the disintegrator exoskeleton to find some useful materials in the corpse.

[ Obtained: hard mutated bones x 1! ]

[ Hard mutated bones ]

[ Description: can be used to make weapons. It is a very rare material. ]

Grimm nodded and continued to disintegrate. After more than ten minutes, he obtained ten hard mutated bones. Other than that, he found nothing.

Shaking his head, Grimm felt that he was at a loss. In order to kill this experimental subject, he actually used up so many of his weapons and ammunition. It was really not worth it.

But on second thought, if the identity card with higher authority was here, then it was actually worth spending so much effort!

Grimm began to search for materials on the fourth floor. After disintegrating some equipment into basic materials, he found a black treasure chest in a hidden corner.

“Hidden treasure chest? Could it be here?”

Grimm nodded and opened the treasure chest.

[ Acquired: Advanced Authority Identity Card X 1! ]

[ Acquired: Combat Protection Spacesuit X 1! ]

“What? There’s unexpected loot?”

Grimm didn’t need to check the description of the advanced clearance identity card to know that it was used to enter the core area. However, Grimm had to take a good look at this combat protection spacesuit.

[ Combat protection spacesuit ]

[ Description: It has a greater defense. Ordinary shrapnel cannot penetrate it. Moreover, compared to ordinary spacesuits, it is more flexible to wear. ]

Grimm smiled.

It seemed that he did not suffer a loss this time.

Not only did he get an advanced authorization identity card, but he also got a spacesuit that was suitable for combat.

Coincidentally, his spacesuit had been damaged. When he returned to the spaceship, he immediately changed into this new spacesuit to take a look.

Grimm put away the damaged spacesuit and returned to the elevator. This time, he used the advanced authorization identity card. He pressed the button in the core area and the elevator began to move upwards.

Sure enough, with this ID card, there would be no obstruction in entering the core area.

The elevator door opened. Grimm found that the core area was not large, but all the equipment inside was intact.

As he entered this floor, all the lights in the room were turned on.

And at the elevator door, there was actually a gate barrier.

[ Please show your ID card for verification! ]

Grimm didn’t take out his ID card immediately when he saw the notification, because he found that there were two small pulse cannons aimed at him on both sides.

Although there was no problem with the ID card, he didn’t match with the corresponding information on the ID card.

If this was discovered by the control system of the core area, then it would be dangerous.

Grimm pressed the button to close the elevator door and then took out two rifles.

In the next moment, he opened the elevator door again.

The same prompt appeared.

[ Please show your ID card for verification! ]

“Verification my ass!”

Boom! Boom!

In an instant, Grimm pulled the trigger and the two rifles were aimed at the two pulse cannons.

[ The core area is under intrusion! ]

This action aroused the alarm of the core area system. The barrel of the pulse cannon was immediately charged, but before it was fully charged, it was completely destroyed by the explosive force of the scattered shells.

The two pulse cannons on the left and right were taken care of!

Grimm was about to forcefully break in when he suddenly saw more than a dozen mechanical guards coming from the inside of the core area.

These mechanical guards were equipped with pulse cannons on the left and right hands. If he was hit by these things, he would definitely die.

“Alright!”

Grimm jumped to the side and conveniently threw out the remaining three grenades.

In an instant, the sound of explosions connected together.

More than ten mechanical guards were about to attack Grimm, but half of them were destroyed by the grenades. The remaining mechanical guards were completely destroyed by Grimm’s rifle.

“This defense isn’t even as strong as the No. 0831 experimental subject!”

Grimm shook his head and walked toward the inner part of the core area. After bypassing some mechanical equipment, he came to a control panel.

He tried to operate it and found that the control panel had completely failed and could not control the operation of the base.

“I wanted to see if I could find the information of test subject 0831. It seems that I can only find it myself!”

Grimm shook his head. He bypassed the control panel and arrived at another gate.

Using the high-level identity card, Grimm entered the next room smoothly.

Here, Grimm saw one storage box after another.

Opening the first storage box, Grimm found that it was actually empty…

Then he opened the second, the third…

After a moment, Grimm was speechless. The storage boxes here were all empty.

“Strange. According to the deduction of this script, the experimental reagent should be here!”

Grimm was puzzled. He looked around again, but still found nothing.

Returning to the control panel, Grimm let the exoskeleton extend the data cable and connect to the central control system in the core area. He wanted to see if he could forcibly run the system and check for the location of the experimental reagent in the system.

A moment later, a notification appeared.

[ Entering the system requires entering the password! ]

[ The password is too complicated. It cannot be cracked in a short period of time! ]

Grimm was depressed. The appearance of such a notification meant that there must be some important information hidden in the control panel. If there was no password, it would be impossible to check this important information.

“Damn it. Where is the password?”

Suddenly, he remembered something.

“Secret passage!”

Grimm had basically explored the entire base. If there was anything that Grimm had missed, it would be the secret passage between the second and third floors.

“It seems that all the clues in this ruin were not given in vain.”

Grimm was helpless. In order to find the password, he had to go to the third floor to check the location of the secret passage. As for the experimental subjects that wandered between the second and third floors.

He did not intend to face the monster head-on. Killing this thing would only give him some hard mutated bones. Although rare, compared to the consumption of weapons, it was not worth it.

After spending some time, Grimm disassembled all the items that could be disassembled in the core area. He collected these materials and he took the elevator leaving the core area.

This way, after he got the password, he would come back and find the storage location of reagent 0831 in the main control system. Then he could take the reagent and leave.

As he was thinking, the elevator had already stopped at the door of the third floor.

The elevator door opened and Grimm found that the experimental subject was not nearby.

“This way, it will be much easier!”

He smiled and walked out of the elevator. He began to search carefully inside the third floor, looking for the secret entrance to the second floor.

But he had already checked this place before and did not find the location of the entrance. This time, he searched for a while again, but still did not find anything.

However, just as he was feeling puzzled, a piece of ceiling above his head caught Grimm’s attention.

“Why is there a control panel here?”
