Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Vrooom! Vrooom!
Just as Chen Xiaobei and Yin Wuqiu walked out of the building, they heard the sound of an engine purring.
“Block them!” Chen Xiaobei ordered.
“Yes!”
Yin Wuqiu was already charging towards the getaway car, at a speed that was faster than sound, and swiftly stood before it.
“My G.o.d!”
The person driving was Damien. He freaked out when he saw a shadow of a man flash before him.
The man was travelling at a blinding 200 kilometers per hour! How could a human travel that fast?
Zing!
Yin Wuqiu swung an arm and used his wind blade to slash the car that was coming at him.
The car was split into two halves!
“My G.o.d!” Zaar was beginning to tear up. Had the wind blades been ten centimeters closer, he would have been sliced into two as well.
To a highly skilled cultivator like Yin Wuqiu, there was no such thing as missing by ten centimeters.
Even though the car was cut into two, the cut was so clean that both parts of the car were still moving forward because of inertia.
Yin Wuqiu’s approximation was flawless. The miss was deliberate. When the two halves of the car raced past him, they did not even graze the corner of his s.h.i.+rt. He then dipped his hand into the body of the car and picked Zaar up from the driver’s seat in one swift move, with not a single beat missed.
“Heee…ro… Have mercy… Hero, have mercy!” Zaar was so freaked out his lips had turned purple. “How have I offended you, hero? Tell me and I will change! Please, please, please don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
Yin Wuqiu did not answer him, but dragged him on the ground like a sack of potatoes to Chen Xiaobei. “Bro Bei, I’ve got him. What should we do with him?”
“Bro Bei?” Zaar’s eyesb.a.l.l.s nearly escaped their sockets.
How did Chen Xiaobei find such an extraordinary right-hand man? How puzzling!
“Zaar, why are you in such a rush? Where were you heading?” Chen Xiaobei smirked.
“I…” Zaar seemed hesitant but when he saw Yin Wuqiu’s glare, and he answered pliantly, “I heard the screams coming from the meeting room, and saw the floor littered with bodies. I didn’t want to die, so I tried to run…”
“Mm, I like honest people. If you don’t wish to die, I need you to bring me to a place!” Chen Xiaobei answered.
“Alright! Alright! Just say the word, Mr. Chen! I will you wherever you want to go!” Zaar nodded almost too eagerly.
Chen Xiaobei could have ended Zaar just like that; what more Chen Xiaobei’s monster of a sidekick.
Even if Zaar had the b.a.l.l.s of a lion, he would not dare refuse Chen Xiaobei anymore.
“Bro Bei, what’s the point of keeping this s.h.i.+thead alive?” Ying Wuqiu asked.
As the former master of Penglai Faction, Yin Wuqiu was a hegemonic elite. His contempt for a piece of s.h.i.+t like Zaar was only natural.
“He has a very special position. He’s the high official of the Central Intelligence Agency. He’s knee deep in some highly cla.s.sified national secrets! Most importantly, we’ll need him to be our guide for our tour of all of America’s top secret facilities,” Chen Xiaobei explained.
Yin Wuqiu nodded and said nothing more.
Zaar looked deflated. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In order to survive, he would have no choice but to obey Chen Xiaobei.
After that, the three of them headed for George Research Facility with Zaar at the wheel chauffeuring Chen Xiaobei and Yin Wuqiu in the pa.s.senger seats.
The journey proved to be a long one, so Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to question Zaar. “So, tell me about the experiment.”
Zaar swallowed hard before answering, “George is an expert in modifying the human body. The research is to explore the limits of human alterations. They are testing to see if biochemicals could instigate human’s greatest abilities!”
“Get to the point!” Chen Xiaobei barked.
“Yes.” Zaar paused for a moment before continuing, “Research required a lot of money and the biggest funding came from the military. That’s why George Research Facility always prioritized the military! In order to get the fastest results to create their Bionic Soliders, George has resorted to unscrupulous methods of buying people in bulk from all over the world to be their lab rats. George doesn’t care if they are men or women, young or old. George and his ‘scientists’ are the biggest human traffickers in the United States. He’s a psychopath with no moral compa.s.s!”
Chen Xiaobei frowned. “What happened to those people?”
“Nothing good.” Zaar explained. “George’s experiments have yet to succeed. Nine of out of ten people who were injected with the experimental chemicals suffered an instant onset of decomposition and necrosis. If they’re lucky, their death would be quick and instant. If they’re not, strange growths would sprout out of their bodies, and they would die a slow, horrible death. There were however, some people who survived but only for short time. They even displayed superhuman abilities! Because of that, the American military continued to fund George’s research!”
“Why weren’t the cases where the people survived considered a success?”
“Those who survived had their DNA completely altered! They became like wild beasts, and were impossible to domesticate! How are Bionic Soldiers who are unable to follow orders be considered a success?”
“Animals!” Chen Xiaobei spat.
“Yes! George is an animal!” Zaar agreed. “He’s inhumane, a lunatic! All these years, he has tortured and victimized at least 8,000 people! There’s no one in this world more cold-blooded than he is!”
“The animal I was talking about is the American military!” Chen Xiaobei snapped. “If it were not for their funding, George would not have been so eager to succeed! He would not even have started researching Bionic Soldiers! He’s might be the sword, but the people wielding the sword are the military!”
Zaar did not know what to say.
Chen Xiaobei’s anger was fanned into flames.
His mind kept drifting to the thoughts of Xiangyu strapped to a laboratory table. Every fiber in Chen Xiaobei’s being wanted to burst through the doors and raze the research facility to the ground.
After some time, they arrived at an area surrounded by mountains.
“Mr. Chen, George Research Facility is in here. Why don’t you go in yourself?” Zaar floundered.
“Mr. Zaar. Let me make this clear, you’ve already boarded the s.h.i.+p. You can disembark, of course, but you would have to leave your life on board!”
“No! No! No! I was just kidding! I’ll bring you in! I’ll bring you in myself!” Zaar gulped, and quickly led the way.
The laboratory was hidden in an inconspicuous valley s.h.i.+elded by mountains from every corner. It would have been impossible to find.
Zaar walked to a stone wall and carved in a random pattern on the surface. A stone slab popped out and revealed a fingerprint scanning device.
He then placed his hand on it.
A thick, heavy boulder popped out and rolled to the side of the wall, revealing the entrance into the building.
