Chapter 131 Following the Clues, the Despair of the Gene Warriors
The Yunding Mountain Villa was a mess and still smelled of blood.
Lu Yuan picked up the half-broken tortoise shell from the pile of documents on the coffee table.
The moment his fingers touched the rough texture of the tortoise shell, the mysterious copper piece deep within his sea of consciousness, enveloped by his Qi Refining stage true essence, shook violently and uncontrollably.
Two extremely similar yet distinctly repulsive auras collided in the air, creating a spark invisible to the naked eye.
Lu Yuan brought the tortoise shell to his nose and smelled it.
It has no earthy smell.
Instead, it had a pungent smell of being soaked in high-concentration chemicals, mixed with a very faint trace of violent bloodlust that did not belong to native Earth creatures.
Are these people out of their minds? They extract the waste blood of low-level demonic beasts, forcibly fuse it with modern drugs, and think they've unlocked the secrets of evolution?
"Where did Gu Ning get this?"
Lu Yuan casually tossed the half-shell of the tortoise back onto the table.
Shen Qingci's back straightened abruptly. Her previously even breathing instantly became thin and broken.
"According to the technical department of the Skywatch Bureau, Gu Ning visited an abandoned meat processing plant in the old city before his death. On the surface, it was an unfinished building that had been abandoned for ten years, but underground it was actually a secret transit station set up by the S.H.I.E.L.D. in Jiangnan."
"The S.H.I.E.L.D. has been acquiring these antiques with strange patterns at high prices around the world for the past few years. The Bureau of Astronomy initially thought they were just laundering money, but now it seems they are looking for some kind of coordinate."
Shen Qingci swallowed.
She didn't dare to look Lu Yuan in the eye.
"That dragon's main tendon."
Lu Yuan pointed to the large tendon on the table that was emitting a pale golden luster.
"Take this to your Bureau of Natural Resources' warehouse, select three wild ginseng roots that are over five hundred years old, and simmer them over a low flame for three hours. Use purified water, and simmer until you get a bowl of black paste."
"After it's cooked, feed it to my sister."
Shen Qingci was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Lu, why don't you do it yourself..."
"I have some personal matters to attend to."
Lu Yuan turned around and picked up the rain-soaked casual jacket from the sofa.
"This rain in Jiangnan is so annoying. I'm going to wipe out all those rats that like to scurry into the sewers, nest and all."
The words landed on the ground.
Lin Zhen and Shen Qingci stared, their mouths agape, their eyes flickering violently. The surrounding noise vanished completely in that instant.
They knew that Jiangnan City was destined to be awash in blood tonight.
......
Old town, abandoned meat processing plant.
The rusty tin factory buildings creaked and groaned in the downpour.
The third basement level.
This is not an abandoned warehouse at all, but a pure white laboratory with a high-tech feel. The walls are made of explosion-proof alloy that is half a meter thick, and there are various precision instruments flashing red lights everywhere.
"Quickly! Pack all the serum from freezer number three into boxes!"
A man in a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses was yelling furiously into a communicator.
"That idiot Gu Ning has been silenced, but she touched that half-fragment of the boundary stone. The Heavenly Surveillance Bureau's hounds will find us sooner or later by following the scent. Headquarters has ordered that all data be destroyed within ten minutes and that we evacuate Jiangnan!"
Inside the laboratory, a dozen armed men were frantically stuffing tubes of medicine emitting a ghostly blue light into a constant temperature incubator.
Inside the glass cylinder in the very center of the laboratory, three muscular men, each over two meters tall, were submerged.
Their skin was covered with a layer of grayish-white keratin, and with each breath, a thick layer of frost formed on the inner wall of the glass.
"Director, what should we do with these three S-level gene test subjects?"
An armed man ran over, sweating profusely.
"They are still in a deep dormancy period. If we forcibly awaken them, their genetic chains may collapse."
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses gritted his teeth.
"We can't worry about that now! Headquarters spent three billion US dollars on these three test subjects, even using the spinal fluid from the skeleton dug out from under the Antarctic glacier. If they fall into the hands of the Space Surveillance Bureau, we'll all be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!"
"Inject adrenaline! Forcefully wake up!"
Just as the man with the gold-rimmed glasses entered the password and was about to open the hibernation pod...
The alloy door of the underground laboratory, which was said to be able to withstand the frontal blast of C4 explosives, suddenly let out a mournful cry of despair.
boom!
The sound wasn't loud.
But the entire alloy door, weighing five tons, looks like a cookie that has been hit by a high-speed train, with a huge footprint strangely dented in the middle.
Followed by.
Sizzle—!
The alloy door was violently ripped open from the outside by an incomprehensible force. Heavy metal fragments flew around the laboratory like shrapnel grenades.
Several armed men who couldn't dodge in time had half their heads sliced off instantly, blood and brain matter splattering onto the snow-white wall, making a sizzling, corrosive sound.
Lu Yuan shook the metal shards off his hands and walked in through the blood-soaked ground.
His coat wasn't completely dry, and rainwater was dripping down his back.
"The security door is of good quality."
Lu Yuan looked around.
"Unfortunately, it can't stop the food delivery drivers."
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses gripped the rough edge of the control panel tightly. The edges of his fingernails were bloodless, and his knuckles stood out starkly against a thin layer of skin. His strength was so great that the muscles in his entire forearm were twitching silently.
This is the third basement level!
The outside defense system can't even let a fly in, so how did this person manage to break down the door without even sounding the alarm?!
"Who do you think you are?!"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses drew a specially made large-caliber pistol from his waist and pointed it intently at Lu Yuan.
"A lackey of the Astronomical Bureau?"
Lu Yuan didn't even glance at him.
His gaze fell on the three glass cylinders in the center of the laboratory that were emitting cold air.
"They took the waste blood of a few low-level frost wolves, added a little bit of marrow fluid from a demonic cultivator, and forcibly stuffed it into the blood vessels of a mortal."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.
"You bunch of test-tube babies, the garbage you produce isn't even as good as that long worm from before. And you dare to send people to steal my stuff?"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses suddenly straightened his back.
His casual stance just moments before instantly transformed into an extremely dangerous defensive posture. Even the surrounding air seemed to chill.
A worm?
Is he referring to the black water snake in the Dragon-Locking Well?
"Open fire! Kill him!"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses roared hoarsely.
Bang bang bang bang!
A dozen armed men pulled the triggers simultaneously. Specially made armor-piercing rounds intertwined in mid-air, forming an impenetrable net of fire that blocked all of Lu Yuan's escape routes.
Lu Yuan stood still, not even lifting his eyelids.
His physical body, at the Mahayana stage, could withstand the gravitational acceleration at an altitude of ten thousand meters. This copper lump propelled by gunpowder wouldn't even be enough to tickle him.
Ding ding ding.
The armor-piercing bullets struck Lu Yuan's white shirt, producing a crisp metallic clang before turning into flat copper discs that fell to the ground.
The laboratory was deathly silent.
Only the sound of spent cartridge cases rolling on the ground echoed.
The armed man's mouth was slightly agape, and the light in his eyes flickered violently. The surrounding noise vanished completely in that instant.
Is this guy even human?!
Even high-explosive armor-piercing rounds can't penetrate a layer of cloth!
"A monster...he's a monster!"
One of the armed men had a complete mental breakdown, threw down his gun, and ran toward the ventilation duct.
Lu Yuan sighed.
"Since you guys enjoy playing with genetic mutations so much..."
He gently rubbed his left thumb against the Nine Heavens Storage Ring on his index finger.
The rusty iron sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Then let me show you what a real meat-cutting knife is."
Swish!
Lu Yuan waved his hand casually.
A sword aura, invisible to the naked eye, swept across the ground.
The armed man running at the front suddenly froze in place.
One second later.
His upper body slid smoothly down his waist to the ground, the incision as smooth as a mirror, without a single drop of blood flowing out. It wasn't until two seconds later that the arteries in his lower body sprayed blood plasma onto the ceiling like a fountain.
"Wake up! Wake up the test subject quickly!"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses felt a sudden churning in his stomach. He instinctively clenched his back teeth, and a hallucinatory taste of blood even rose in his mouth.
He slammed his fist on the red emergency button.
laugh--
Three glass cylinders opened simultaneously. A rush of cold, white air spread outwards, instantly lowering the temperature of the entire laboratory to freezing.
Three S-class gene warriors, each over two meters tall, slowly opened their eyes.
Their pupils were a pure, lifeless gray, devoid of any human emotion. The grayish-white keratin layer on their skin crackled and spun in the air, like three killing machines cloaked in human skin.
"Tear him to pieces."
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses pointed at Lu Yuan, his voice trembling like a tattered rag in the wind.
The three genetically engineered warriors let out a beast-like roar and slammed their powerful legs into the ground.
The hard alloy floor was trampled into three deep dents.
Their speed was so fast that they almost left afterimages in the air. Three fists covered in bone spurs, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as they tore through the air, slammed into Lu Yuan's head from three different directions.
Lu Yuan stood still.
His right hand, gripping the rusty iron sword, didn't even bother to lift it.
Just as those three fists were less than ten centimeters from his temple.
Lu Yuan opened his mouth and softly uttered a single word.
"kneel."
