"I want to find out who this old madman is; I think it's very important to me."

She felt there was something missing, and also, "I want the information on the superhumans in the lab" was very important to her.

Lin Zaifei: "...Don't rush this. You go back first, and I'll arrange for someone to come and clean up this place later..."

"Won't they destroy the experimental data then?" Lin Yiran asked.

She knew exactly what the outcome would be. Once they successfully left this place today, Professor Zhou in the lab would immediately activate destruction mode, taking the data with him or burying it along with the lab.

Lin Zaifei sighed and said earnestly, "Little sister, the things in this lab are very important to you, but you are also very important to us."

"With that old madman here, none of us are a match for him. Going back would be like walking into a trap. Our priority now is to ensure your safety and get you back to the capital planet safely."

Lin Yiran was about to nod in agreement when she looked up and saw a raging sea of ​​fire sweeping towards them!

Lin Yiran quickly pulled her brother aside, dodging the fireball, only to be met with several more enormous fireballs. She couldn't believe that old madman had caught up so quickly!

Lin Zaifei: "I'll cover you, let's go!"

Lin Yiran stopped making excuses and started heading in the direction Lin Zaifei had indicated. But before they had taken more than a few steps, they discovered something unusual about the forest.

It turned out that the fireballs released by that old madman had taken effect, setting off a raging fire around them. Everywhere there were the shrill screams of mutated plants and animals, and their twisted bodies as they were engulfed by the flames!

The fireball formed a circle around them!

And they were gradually approaching them!

"That old madman's abilities have increased again! Hurry up and get in the mecha, I'll take you away!" He then summoned the mecha, pulled Lin Yiran onto it, and the mecha sped off, then leaped high into the air, instantly passing through the fireball encirclement in the distance.

As soon as they went outside, they found the old madman waiting in the distance, only five meters away from them. He was still wearing his yellow sanitation worker's uniform, and his dry white hair was disheveled and draped over his shoulders, like a poodle with its fur standing on end. The top of his head was bald, giving him a frighteningly pale appearance.

He was indeed quite frightening. After chuckling twice, he began to speak: "Professor Shen, leave the girl next to you here, and perhaps I can spare your life."

As he spoke, his neck cracked as he turned it, as if it hadn't been used in a long time and was very stiff.

Lin Yiran watched him turn his neck and inexplicably felt that his movements were somewhat familiar.

Lin Zaifei: "Pah! If you know what's good for you, get lost. If you don't, let's just have a fight. What's with all the talk?"

The old madman's face twisted into a terrifying grin: "Since you refuse a polite toast only to drink a forfeit, then I won't be so polite!"

After saying that, he gripped the ground with all four limbs and pounced towards them in a peculiar posture, landing on Lin Zaifei's mecha in one fell swoop, blocking the mecha's view. They couldn't see anything. Then, a large fireball burst from the old madman's body and attached itself to the mecha, trying to melt the mecha's shell with the high temperature!

The temperature inside the mech cabin gradually rose, and the temperature alarm beeped.

Lin Yiran: "Should I go down first?"

Lin Zaifei: "No need. Going down there would be even more difficult to guard against. Just sit here and I'll take you there. We'll get to our destination as soon as possible and get on the starship!"

Lin Zaifei used the mecha arm to try to pull him off, while pulling him along in the designated direction.

But as soon as they shook off that old madman, he pounced on them again like a sticky bug, even using the force to change their direction.

When they deviated from the route, Lin Zaifei could no longer bear it. He took out the superion bullet from his mecha and fired it hard into the stomach!

Unfortunately, he dodged it; the last bullet only wounded the opponent's shoulder!

And he was out of bullets in his mech's storage.

Pulling out the lightsaber and fighting the person in front of you is simply not an option.

The metal that Lin still manipulated with his supernatural abilities was not fireproof, and it was almost instantly reduced to ashes under the opponent's powerful firepower!

This was the first time she had ever heard the saying "fire overcomes metal."

Moreover, the other party should be a level nine fire-type ability user. Her level eight metal-type ability is at a disadvantage without the support of rare metals!

As the temperature inside the mecha cockpit rose higher and higher, Lin Yiran and Lin Zaifei were drenched in sweat from the intense heat, as if they had just taken a bath.

No, she'd die sooner or later if things continued like this. She had to find a way to make the other person leave on their own.

It's impossible to kill him for now; it's already a miracle that the two of them managed to escape safely.

Suddenly, Lin Yiran thought of something.

The other party brought her here for two reasons: first, to conduct experiments, and second, to... the crystal core inside her, wasn't it?

That's exactly what they want!

Perhaps she could use the crystal core to lure the other party away!

After that, Lin Yiran became quite generous.

She directly exchanged a large number of Tier 1 and 2 crystal cores through the system. When she saw that a samurai sword made of rare metal had just been launched in the store and cost 20,000 points, she gritted her teeth and bought it.

Then Lin Yiran said, "Brother, I have a way to distract him. Open the hatch and let me out!"

Lin Zaifei, while trying to maintain his composure, asked with disbelief, "Are you sure?"

Lin Yiran: "I'm sure!!"

Lin Zaifei: "Alright then, take this bunch of keys with you. After you go down, run in that direction. The starship is hidden inside a mountain. If you get there first, leave quickly and don't worry about me."

Lin Yiran: "Don't sound so sad, I'm confident we can win!"

Then Lin Zaifei opened the mecha's hatch, and Lin Yiran jumped out of the mecha and rolled a few times to the side to attract the old madman's attention.

Seeing Lin Yiran come out, the old madman was overjoyed. His mouth was wide open when he smiled, as if he could devour a child. He turned around quickly and pounced on Lin Yiran!

Lin Yiran stood still, and as he pounced on her, she held a handful of crystal cores in her hand and said to him, "Look what this is."

A bunch of crystal nuclei of various colors.

When the enticing aroma wafted out, Lin Yiran watched as the old madman's eyes widened, fixed on the crystal core in her hand, as if an addict had found his cure.

Those eyes were terrifying, as if you could pounce on them without any reason.
