Zander pulls out one of her head spikes and inspects it further. It's laced with a Nero toxin that will render something unconscious upon hitting them. Not to me it doesn't. I wonder if there's a way to turn this into a weapon.

Jessee shakes her head at seeing him looking at the head spike. "The military already thought about turning this into a weapon since the males in our society don't have that ability".

They search the vault room. All the vaults are empty except one. In that one vault there is a holographic stick. Zander sits down at the holographic board and looks over the stick. There are a ton of files on research done to a dozen or so Zondora females bodies. They were testing out how effective the Nero toxin was on males. They also had information on how they couldn't turn this Nero toxin into a weapon. Dr. Blacksoul had even thought that having sex with Zondora females would give the humans an ability to transform into their kind with the special ability to shoot out head spikes. This was the reason that Dr. Blacksoul had kept this Zondora as a mistress. There are tons more.

After 30 minutes of reading through everything on the stick, Zander comes to realize how much of a sick fuck this Dr. Blacksoul was. Take Hitler and

Napoleon and you'd have this guy with a bit of the Zodiac killer and Night Stalker mixed in.

Jessee walks up to Zander and looks at him. She grabs his hand and walks him away from the holographic board. "Come on. We should probably check out the military base".

Before leaving he grabs the stick and pockets it. In the room a few items catch Zander's eye. Using inspection skill.

[Old Earth Dr. Mask]

(Basic level armor, +5 HP, poison immunity level +1)

[Old Earth Dr. Cane]

(Basic level armor, +2 Strength, +1 charisma)

[Old Earth Nurse Outfit]

(Basic level armor, +5 charisma, instant hotness factor)

Zander equips both items and gives the other nurse outfit to Jessee. "This will look good on you".

Jessee changes into the outfit while Zander keeps talking. "Let's come back here and search this place further. There's gotta be something hidden."

"How do I look"?

Zander is awestruck. "Amazing." Zander grabs Jessee and walks out the the car.

....

About another hour later they pull up to what looks like a heavily fortified building. No one is outside at the guardian posts so they stop, get out of the car, and have a look around. Zander is using his inspection skill on everything due to not wanting to miss anything. Walking into the guardian post they see an empty weapons rack, an empty storage locker, and an empty peg board where keys would be. The only thing of note in the guardian post is the holographic board. Zander walks up to it and starts his [Data Mining] skill.

After a minute the only useful information is that the building was in use 1,760 years ago. Which is five years after the sick dr. went into cyrogenic sleep. They might have a chance after all of finding some good stuff inside. That doesn't explain why the guardian posts is so empty though. Zander keeps this in the back of his mind. He does see something out of the usual inside the post, it appears to be a soul stone however his inspection skill can't give him any information about it. 'Kris you know what the hell this is'?

'Nope. You're on your own stupid. Oh yeah, why don't you fuck Jessee already. You know you want too hotshot. Hahahaha'.

'Fuck you bitch. Last time I slept with a lady they ended up getting their ass shot, or did you forget buttercup'?

'I slept with you out of petty you gaming Virgin and as a thank you for saving my life you asshat'.

Zander and Jessee walk towards the main doors into the building. Something seems off to Zander. He pushes Jessee off to the side and tries to roll the opposite direction. He is hit in the arm by a sharp object.

30/35 HP.

<poison detected: new poison, -1 hp every second for 5 seconds>

"Fuck, that really hurts. Jessee are you okay"?

No response from her. He looks around to see what hit him. Coming at him is a large Bear Boar. Zander shots two rounds into the thing.

-250 hp

-250 hp

The Bear Boar charges Zander, drunken like he nearly dodged out of the way only taking -5 hp of damage. The Bear Boar is stunned as it hits full force into the double doors. Zander takes a second to inspect his prey.

[Large Bear Boar]

(????)(1500/2000)

Zander fires off two more rounds into the stunned animal while switching to his laser sword.

-250 hp

-250 hp

Zander's health is now down to 20/35 and the poison effect has worn off. He takes his laser sword and ignites it through the Bear Boar skull activating his [Anti-Treatment] skill killing the Bear Boar.

[Large Bear Boar killed]

[200 EXP][2000 chips][fangs,meat,hide and soul stone]

<roll a Lady Luck chance?>

Zander confirms. The roll ends up with the following: (+5 permanent hp stat)

[Saved Jessee life: 100 EXP, +8 relationship]

'Hey dumbass, go check on her'.

Zander runs over and checks on Jessee. As she comes to, she is looking up into Zander's eyes again. That strong urge to kiss him is there again; however, he speaks ruining the moment. "You okay enough to move on"?

She gets up and leads the way into the building. Walking and talking. "So I'd wager to bet that this place hasn't been touched In 1000 years. If that's the case then I'll have no problems entering into the security sections".

As they walk towards the front desk something very bad can be felt not in murderous intention kinda way, but a heavy sadness way. The inside looks like it's been inside a time standstill. Not a single piece of broken or decaying item can been seen. It looks like it's still 1700 years old new.

Going over to the receptionist desk Zander sits down in the chair which is quite comfortable. He types away at the holographic board. Jessee walks around the room looking at odds and ends. There's one picture that looks out of place so she touches it and a vault is revealed behind it, locked.

Zander is able to find a map of the building and a few passwords that he saves to memory. Getting out of the chair, he walks over to Jessee and inspects the vault. It's a simple eight digit number code. Putting his hand on it he activates his [Data Mining] skill. The code appears one digit at a time. 04201889. The safe pops open with a CLICK. On the inside there is a Keycard for something, a chips card Green, and a holographic stick. Making sure they got everything from the safe, Zander reaches in further and pulls out a vial of yellowish blue liquid. He shows it to Jessee whos jaw drops. Grabbing the vial. She just stares at it. Zander used his inspection skill on it.

[Zondora Female Soul Substance]

(Elite Level. Effects bonus unknown on the human body chances of something great very high. Chemical brake down unknown. -15 strength permanent effect. Created by Dr. Blacksoul)

"Can this be the holy grail of your genetic code. Your DNA? Could Dr. Blacksoul have actually found a way to unlock the evolution of human to Zondora"?

"No. This has to be the Nero Toxin we females have in us from birth..." she quickly hands Zander the vial as she wants nothing to do with it and grabs tightly to him for comfort. "... please tell me it's not what I think it is".

"It's not what you think it is. Let's go find his lab and find out the answers." Holding onto her he leads her down the hall before coming to his office.
