"Can this jar be put into the Progressive's arsenal along with Gromos?"
Zhang Chen was slightly surprised, then immediately reached out and gently touched the jar.
*Whoosh!*
The entire jar instantly vanished.
The next moment, it appeared directly inside Zhang Chen's ring. 【Rare
Zhang Chen remembered the prompt next to Gromos. It was true that this guy could perform spatial translocation, with a cool-down period of one hour after each translocation.
Seeing that Zhang Chen wasn't particularly shocked by her explanation, Xu Ruina couldn't help but be a little surprised.
She continued speaking, "For Progressive scientists, a mutated creature with spatial translocation ability is equivalent to a living wormhole generator!"
"Therefore, they paid a huge price to capture a newly-born Gromos from the terrifying forest full of monsters and safely deliver it back to the laboratory."
"It was precisely through the research of this creature that the Progressive faction achieved significant breakthroughs in science and technology, especially in spatial technology!"
As soon as Xu Ruina finished speaking, she instantly disappeared from her spot and reappeared at the laboratory entrance the next second.
"This is... 【Flash Step】?"
Zhang Chen said in surprise.
"Well, for Reincarnators, this ability might be called that, but in reality, it's the utilization of spatial abilities!"
"It's just that I haven't mastered this ability very well yet, and I can't reach the place I want to go at will."
"But you Reincarnators can easily control this ability through the ring on your hand, thereby enhancing your strength!"
Xu Ruina activated Flash Step once more.
This time, however, she didn't return to Zhang Chen's side but teleported another five to six meters forward.
She walked over with her long legs, cupped Zhang Chen's left hand, which wore the ring, in her hands, and said with admiration in her eyes as if appreciating a piece of art.
"Through thousands of Raven Laboratories and millions of researchers classifying and studying mutated creatures and infected bodies, the Progressive faction integrated all experimental data and information, ultimately achieving an explosive leap in technology!"
"In just a few years, human technology innovations and discoveries far exceeded ten times the technological achievements of the past century!"
"It's a pity that I didn't catch up with this technological leap. During my time trapped inside the Wailing One, I truly missed so, so much..."
Xu Ruina said with regret.
"All our skills come from the Progressive faction's research on mutated creatures? Then... does this mean the ring was also created by the Progressive faction?"
"Was our crossing over as Reincarnators also caused by the Progressive faction?"
Zhang Chen seemed to have finally found the answer and asked urgently.
"This ring is definitely a product of the Progressive faction, but as for whether your crossing over was caused by some method employed by the Progressive faction..."
"Or if it was caused by the powerful bio-energy of this world continuously attracting and devouring nearby parallel spaces... I'm not sure about this."
"Fortunately, I met you this time, which gave me a chance to regain control of my body."
"From now on, I will dig out all the secrets of the Progressive faction bit by bit."
"Including... how I became like this! And what about those clones!"
Xu Ruina said, pointing a finger at a long-haired clone confined within the jar.
This clone's physique and appearance were an almost one-to-one replica of Xu Ruina.
It was even closer to the real Xu Ruina than the clone army Zhang Chen possessed.
"This is indeed very strange. With so many researchers, why did the Progressive faction not clone others, but relentlessly focus on Xu Ruina like a sheep being shorn?!"
"And they even cloned her in various ways, one-to-one cloning, cloning with mutated creature genes..."
"What is it about Xu Ruina that makes her so worthy of the Progressive faction's painstaking research?"
"Oh, right, there's still a little bug to deal with!"
Xu Ruina finally noticed the man crawling at the entrance earlier.
"Don't, don't kill me, I won't say anything, don't worry, I definitely won't say anything!"
Hearing Xu Ruina say she would kill him, the man cried out loudly in fear.
At this moment, Gromos had been restrained, and the blue energy corrosive effect on the man's leg had also disappeared.
It was replaced by blood continuously oozing from the wound, leaving a trail on the ground.
"What?"
Zhang Chen looked surprised. This man seemed to have met Xu Ruina before.
*Thud!*
Before the man could say another word, Xu Ruina Flash Stepped to his side, her long claws piercing through his head.
She said coldly,
"You almost killed Zhang Chen... This is what you deserve!"
