I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 72 Gene Agents

Jiang Yuan felt like he was having a long dream. In the dream, he was a tadpole swimming in an endless expanse of water. Countless other tadpoles like him were left far behind. He thought he would just keep swimming like that, but at the end he plunged into a strange space.

Then, he was woken up by the burn!

"call!"

Jiang Yuan sat up with a start, and when he opened his eyes, he was looking right into Ning Yanlan's eyes.

"It's so hot!" Jiang Yuan licked his lips, but found that the heat was gradually disappearing.

"Is it hot? I've already tested the temperature, it's not hot!" Ning Yanlan looked at the cup in her hand with a puzzled expression. There was a very faint lip print on the rim of the cup.

"It must be a reaction from my body!" Jiang Yuan wasn't stupid; the burning sensation he felt came from his physical body, and its rapid subsidence was the best evidence of that.

"Are you alright now?" Ning Yanlan asked worriedly.

Jiang Yuan checked his body; the discomfort was still there. "How long was I unconscious?"

"For about an hour and a half, she lay in my arms the whole time," Ning Yanlan said with a resentful look.

"An hour and a half? Is that long?" Jiang Yuan was startled. Although the dream was as long and tedious as a foot binding, his actual feeling was that it only lasted for a moment.

"What do you think? My arm is sore from using you as a pillow," Ning Yanlan said unhappily, rubbing her arm.

Jiang Yuan gave an awkward smile. As he stood up, he had a feeling he had never experienced before: "Wow, is this gene serum really that amazing?"

"I feel like my mind is much sharper, and my reaction time, defense, strength, and stamina have all improved to a whole new level!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed in amazement as he felt his physical body.

"This is insane!" Ning Yanlan hadn't expected such a small potion to have such a good effect.

"I've made a fortune!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed, as his own strength was far more stable than relying on external aids.

"Has it lasted longer?" Ning Yanlan asked with a mischievous smile.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"Haha!" Ning Yanlan laughed even harder when she saw Jiang Yuan's expression.

"Are Sister Li and the others asleep? Should we..."

"No way!" Ning Yanlan immediately refused. "You haven't even pursued me, I'm not going to mess around with you!"

"What nonsense! I meant going to the Heaven and Earth Society while they're sleeping!" Jiang Yuan's head was throbbing. Was there nothing else to do at night besides gymnastics? What happened to the plan of killing on a dark, windy night and setting fires?!

"I..." Ning Yanlan blushed slightly, but immediately said righteously, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just meant going to the Heaven and Earth Society, what are you thinking!"

Jiang Yuan wanted to say: I have never seen such a shameless person. He clearly misunderstood, but now he is turning around and biting the hand that feeds him.

"Since you're going, then go! But don't get any ideas, or I'll hit you!" Ning Yanlan threatened, meaning you'd better forget what I just said, or I'll still hit you.

"Barbaric, barbaric!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed inwardly, but his words remained honest. "How could I possibly have such thoughts? I'm the most upright person around!"

As usual, Jiang Yuan jumped out of the window with Ning Yanlan in his arms, continuing the fine tradition of jumping out of windows.

"Yanlan, do you know the way?" Jiang Yuan pulled Ning Yanlan through the dark streets, but as someone who had no sense of direction, he said that it didn't matter which street they went through, and he couldn't tell the difference between them.

"Don't worry, with all my years of training, this road is a piece of cake!" Although Ning Yanlan is only a trainee police officer, her years at the police academy were not wasted, and she is quite skilled at tracking and reconnaissance.

Ning Yanlan had already memorized the address, and she was quite a frequent visitor to this place, so she led Jiang Yuan through a maze of left and right paths until they finally arrived at their destination.

“This is it!” Ning Yanlan pointed to a four-story detached residential building. “This is the address Zhu Penghai gave us! These guys are really enjoying themselves; nobody dares to live within a few hundred meters of here.”

"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuan knew he needed to be careful about this, otherwise he might alert the enemy.

"Look at that guy!" Ning Yanlan glanced in a certain direction.

Jiang Yuan also looked over and saw a figure with a bandage wrapped around his right hand yawning as he closed the door.

"Looks like this is the place!" Jiang Yuan sneered after taking a look.

The person who closed the door was one of the members of the Heaven and Earth Society who came to launch a sneak attack that night.

"Let's go in and slaughter these bastards!" Ning Yanlan said coldly.

"It's best not to make too much noise!" Jiang Yuan pointed to the spirit ring in his hand and said, "I'll use Concealment Technique to sneak in first, and we'll communicate using the spirit ring!"

"Be careful! Revenge is not as important as you!" Ning Yanlan solemnly instructed.

"The same to you!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan directly jumped over the wall and entered the residential area. Before the psionic type mastered the skill of levitation, the strength type was much more agile than the psionic type. A wall as high as two or three meters could be crossed with just a light leap.

Jiang Yuan moved very quietly, and observed for a while before entering the enclosure.

“No one’s on night watch, I’ll go in and check. You come in later!” Jiang Yuan communicated with Ning Yanlan using his soul ring.

As one's cultivation level increases, one's perception also improves. However, Ning Yanlan has not learned the art of concealing her breath, so she is easily detected if one gets close. Therefore, Jiang Yuan decided to take the risk himself.

“Okay!” Ning Yanlan replied.

"Concealing Breath Technique!"

Jiang Yuan activated the Breath Concealment Technique. Unlike other skills, the Breath Concealment Technique is a technique for controlling one's breath. After activating the Breath Concealment Technique, his heartbeat and breathing gradually decreased.

With the twenty points of strength from the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique, plus the three points from the beef ball, and the gene potion he had just swallowed, his strength had reached a mere thirty points. However, he dared not use his full strength. Firstly, his body could not withstand such a large consumption, and secondly, if he wanted to kill someone without anyone noticing, it was necessary to restrain his power.
