◎The Big Boss Behind the Scenes◎
"Besides here, there should be some other places, right?" Yan Jue searched every corner, even if there was only one, but this place was searched thoroughly and nothing was left.
Tian Yiwen shook her head. "No, the Apocalyptic Light Project is primarily being implemented in our lab. Other labs don't have the sealed energy fluid."
"Could it be that organization again..."
"Aita?"
"I think they are being hit by the ball!" Yan Jing cursed.
"Rong Xiao, come here," Tian Yiwen withdrew her gaze from the damaged computer screen and pulled Rong Xiao closer. "Those people should still be here. If anything goes wrong later, you must follow my plan."
Shangguan Yu followed her gaze and actually saw something dark red in the crack of the computer screen!
It looks like blood, but it's probably not the blood of a living person but the blood of a zombie.
Shangguan Yu casually picked up a piece of white paper that had fallen on the ground and pulled it through the gap, and the white paper was immediately stained.
"Someone came here before us and may not have gone far." Shangguan Yu immediately pointed out what Tian Yiwen didn't have time to say.
Shangguan Huai looked confused: "How do you know?"
"The blood on the computer hasn't dried yet. Someone must have killed a zombie with a weapon, and when they smashed the computer screen, the blood from the weapon got into the cracks in the screen.
The group of people who came in may not have left yet, and they are most likely here for them!
Tian Yiwen quickly told Rong Xiao about her plan. She lowered her voice and didn't tell anyone else, as if she was afraid that someone might hear it because there were eavesdroppers in the laboratory.
“Crack—”
There was a strange noise at the door, and the laboratory suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked outside.
One, two, three...
Seven or eight men in black blocked the exit. They all wore masks and hats. Rong Xiao had seen that look a long time ago.
It seems that everyone in Ai Ta dresses like this.
"This time... can you still escape?" A disdainful sneer was heard from the men in black.
Before Yan Jue could make a move, he felt someone scratching his palm with a finger. Almost everyone who was ready to attack seemed to have suddenly pressed the stop button and did not initiate an attack.
"Did you take the energy liquid away?" Tian Yiwen stepped forward and half-blocked Rong Xiao behind her.
"Do you even need to ask?" The man in black said arrogantly, "If you want Rong Xiao to regain her abilities, you must hand her over to us and take her back."
Even though nothing was said, this group of people seemed to know why they came and ate everything to death.
Shangguan Yu had a bad feeling: "Could it be that the previous mission... was also part of their calculations?"
"Haha, you were lucky last time, you didn't get hurt at all," the man in black sneered, "I was planning to catch Rong Xiao right there, but unfortunately, that wasn't a good opportunity."
However, at this moment, it is a great opportunity for the man in black.
They had calculated everything long ago and were certain that Rong Xiao had something on them this time and would not leave easily.
"Then I'll go back with you. Can you give me the energy liquid?" Even though he was at a disadvantage, there was no sign of nervousness or panic on Rong Xiao's face. He bargained with them calmly as if he was buying vegetables in the market.
The man in black was stunned, and had the illusion that he was being plotted against again.
He carefully looked around and found no ambush, so he thought they were bluffing. "That's right. If you want to get the energy liquid, come back with us. But only you and her can go back together. No one else is allowed to follow."
Tian Yiwen knew at a glance that these men in black were just minions. Even if they were caught, it would be impossible to force the mastermind behind Ai Ta to hand over the energy liquid.
By then, it is very likely that the seemingly balanced state will be destroyed, which will only be more disadvantageous to Rong Xiao.
Not only her, but others must have thought of it a long time ago, so they pretended to be coerced and did not fight back.
Yan Jing looked confused, looking from Yan Jue to the others...
If they take action, no one here will be able to escape!
What are you waiting for?
Yan Jing's ability is not very aggressive, and he is not stupid enough to start it himself. He can only wait quietly for others to give signals.
After waiting for a long time, there was no signal at all, and even Yan Jue looked like he was willing to let Rong Xiao be taken away.
"Okay, I'll go back with you." Tian Yiwen stretched out her hand, motioning Rong Xiao to put his palm on it and hold her hand tightly.
The other men in black were on guard with their guns in hand. They knew this team very well and knew what kind of people they were facing, so they didn't dare to take it lightly.
"You guys watch them, I'll take them out." The leading man in black gave a signal and fiercely called out to Rong Xiao and Tian Yiwen to follow him out.
The zombies that rushed out after hearing the noise were shot dead instantly. The man in black led them out of the gate and walked for more than ten minutes before finally seeing three cars in a remote corner.
"Hand," the man in black took out black shackles and motioned Rong Xiao to hand over his wrists, "Don't try to play tricks."
Rong Xiao obediently did as he was told, muttering softly, "I'm already cooperating so well."
The tone was soft and a little aggrieved, especially the cute hairstyle that obscured Rong Xiao's previous brutality, which deceived the man in black for two seconds.
Although he had never fought Rong Xiao head-on, everything that had happened before was summarized by him, and he was very clear that Rong Xiao's strength was at the atmospheric level.
The man in black said nothing. He shackled Rong Xiao's hands and feet, and took out two injections of medicine to give to Tian Yiwen and Rong Xiao.
"What do you want to do..." Tian Yuwen suddenly became nervous and pushed Rong Xiao behind her.
The man in black raised his voice impatiently, "It's just an injection to temporarily disable her superpowers. You both have to get it. If you don't, forget about getting the energy liquid."
Now that she was no longer in a position to negotiate terms, Tian Yiwen loosened her grip and offered her arm: "I'll go first."
After glancing at her, the man in black grabbed her hand and injected her without hesitation.
After waiting for a while and seeing no unusual reaction, Tian Yiwen relaxed and smiled, touching Rong Xiao's shoulder comfortingly: "It should be fine."
Rong Xiao had seen the potion that made super powers disappear before, so she wasn't nervous at all. It was just that... being comforted felt good, and she felt an inexplicable warmth spreading in her heart.
After administering the potion, the men in black stuffed them into the back seat and sent a man to squeeze in with them.
People in the lab came out one after another. Rong Xiao looked up through the car window: "Are they okay?"
"Don't worry, they won't be in danger." Tian Yiwen grabbed Rong Xiao's hand, but her own palms were cold because of nervousness.
"Okay, let's go. Be careful they might catch up with us." After sending the order to the car behind, the man in black started the car and the convoy turned around and drove in a completely different direction.
Tian Yiwen appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was restless. From that moment on, she kept telling herself that she must protect Rong Xiao no matter what.
But in fact, she also regarded Rong Xiao as a source of security.
"call……"
"call……"
The car was quite quiet after it started, but not long after, Tian Yiwen felt that the girl next to her had not moved for a long time, and she could hear the sound of even breathing next to her ears.
The man in black sitting on the other side also heard it, turned around in surprise, and happened to meet Tian Yiwen's eyes.
The breathing sound disappeared after a while, and the sound of the wind and the howling of zombies around almost drowned out Rong Xiao's subtle movements.
It's scary to suddenly not be able to hear your breathing.
The man in black became nervous and quickly put his hand under Rong Xiao's nose to test it.
Fortunately, I'm still venting.
Tian Yiwen was worried, so she patted Rong Xiao gently and called her name nervously.
Rong Xiao, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and looked around: "What's up, have you eaten yet?"
Tian Yiwen: “…”
Man in black: "...Not yet, you can continue to sleep."
He should have been fierce and intimidated her, but the man in black saw that she looked cute and didn't look like a terrifying weapon. Could it be that the rumors outside were too exaggerated?
When Rong Xiao heard this, he leaned his head in a different direction and closed his eyes again: "Okay, call me when you get there."
Does this look like being caught?
Look at this, how does it look like a hostage?
The man in black was stunned.
Tian Yiwen probably guessed that the injection she had received before departure was almost wearing off, and Rong Xiao would gradually return to a state of lack of energy, fatigue and sleepiness.
She is now sleeping just to try to conserve her energy.
Once the bus arrives at the destination, no one knows what will happen.
The car was bumpy and had been driving for almost three hours. Tian Yiwen looked at the destination that appeared in front of her and felt a little different.
This is a shopping mall, it looks pretty ordinary.
The parking lot in the mall had obviously been cleared. I didn't see any zombies all the way in. There were quite a few cars parked there, most of which showed signs of having been modified.
The car was parked, Rong Xiao and Tian Yiwen were taken out of the car, and they walked all the way to the lit elevator door.
What's going on?
The mastermind is... in the supermarket?
It’s strange that they chose a supermarket as their location.
The elevator did not display the floor button. Less than ten seconds later, the elevator door opened quietly. The elevator was very large and could accommodate everyone.
Rong Xiao and Tian Yiwen exchanged glances secretly.
For some reason, Rong Xiao didn't feel any fear in his heart, but instead felt an indescribable excitement.
Is the big boss behind the scenes who has been sending people to capture her and has stopped at nothing to finally show up?
For Rong Xiao, there is nothing to be afraid of when meeting the big boss. If he can understand what kind of person his opponent is, wouldn’t it be easier to win?
It's like playing a game.
The villains who hide in the dark and shoot from behind are often more difficult to deal with, but if you get close to him or touch his head...
It seems risky but is the most direct method.
The ladder went down for a while and then stopped with two clangs.
Outside the separate elevator doors is another heavy metal code-protected door.
The button was very small, and the man in black pressed it twice but got an error. Finally, he angrily took off his gloves and pressed it again, and the combination lock finally lit up green.
"Bring him in." He ordered, looking behind him.
As soon as they entered, the metal door closed immediately, and the men in black took Rong Xiao and Tian Yiwen to different directions.
Tian Yiwen suddenly became anxious: "What are you doing? Why are you separating us?"
"The judge wants to see you." The man in black explained impatiently.
Rong Xiao, who was being taken in the opposite direction, said: "Huh?"
"The Executive is the person with the highest authority here. Everyone must obey his orders."
Rong Xiao suddenly understood and nodded: "I think I understand."
Man in black: “…”
Seeing that Tian Yiwen was not cooperating, the man in black emphasized in a cold and arrogant voice: "If you want to get the energy liquid, you must get the permission from the Executive."
It seems that in order to achieve my goal, I have to meet this executive.
Tian Yiwen looked at Rong Xiao and said nothing. Her eyes seemed to convey something but it also seemed like just an ordinary glance. She turned around and left towards another corridor under the guidance of others.
"Come over here," another man in black pointed to the left. "We'll have to lock you up for now, but don't be afraid. I haven't heard anyone say they're going to hurt you."
Rong Xiao felt as if the voice was familiar. His eyes suddenly focused on him and he asked curiously, "Do you know me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other black-clad men around him all focused their attention on him, causing the black-clad man in front of him to become nervous: "I don't know you, don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, but your voice sounds familiar. Have we met before?" Rong Xiao started chatting with the black man next to him as if he was familiar with him.
The man in black realized that he had lost his prestige, so he simply stopped talking, pursed his lips, and ignored her without even glancing at her.
The more he didn't answer, the more Rong Xiao suspected that they had met before.
Moreover, this guy was quite polite in his speech. Although he was on the side of the bad guys, Rong Xiao didn't find him annoying.
After sending Rong Xiao to the isolation room, the man in black opened the door and pointed to the empty room inside: "You will stay here for the time being."
"Will they deliver food to you? When I was reading a novel before, it said that if you were imprisoned, someone would deliver food to you."
Man in black: “…Yes.”
Rong Xiao nodded, said nothing, and walked in cooperatively, sitting down on the carpeted floor.
Isn’t this too easy to say?
The situation was completely different from the previous fight with her!
The man in black stood at the door of the isolation room, scratched his hat, and left with the others with a confused look on his face.
Anyway, I have nothing to do and nothing to eat, so how about... take a nap?
Rong Xiao felt tired again. The medicine that Tian Yiwen had injected her with before was probably gradually losing its effect, so she had to conserve her strength.
The floor was not very comfortable, but she had no choice, so she pulled the quilt over to cover herself and fell asleep on the spot.
I slept for almost three hours. Then a man in black walked to the door of the isolation room and pressed the call button: "Rong Xiao."
The people in the room didn't move.
"Rong Xiao, get up."
Still lying there like dead.
The man in black's heart was pounding. No way, is he dead?
No, it must be a conspiracy. How could she die?
Besides, I didn’t do anything, so how could I die for no reason?
The man in black opened the isolation room and walked in. He walked until he reached Rong Xiao, but she didn't wake up. Rong Xiao's defenseless look made him feel very strange.
Rong Xiao's hands were on the blanket, so it was unlikely that she was planning any sneak attack. The chains on her hands and feet were still there, and she was running low on energy, not having the strength and speed she had before.
After eliminating all possibilities and dangers, the man in black slowly extended his finger and poked her arm like a playful little friend: "Rong Xiao."
He quickly retracted his fingers and called her name as if nothing had happened.
Not moving, not even awake!
The man in black felt a little uneasy again. Could something really have happened and he was about to die?
He tried to touch the back of Rong Xiao's hand with his fingertips, and it was cold.
It's so cold, why am I as cold as a corpse?
"Hey, Rong Xiao...don't joke with me." The man in black tiptoed and gestured a few times. He wanted to call someone but was afraid of causing a fuss. He turned back and forth for a long time and finally remembered to check his breathing.
I slowly placed my fingers under Rong Xiao's nose. His breathing was normal and very steady. He was definitely not dead.
The man in black subconsciously placed his hand on his chest, and the next second, the tightly closed eyes beside his hand suddenly opened.
The gleam in his eyes startled the man in black, who quickly retracted his hand and stepped back.
"Is there something wrong?" Rong Xiao almost laughed at his embarrassed look, and managed to hold it back with great difficulty.
The man in black's mask moved, and he frowned at her, his voice pretending to be calm: "I'll take you to the laboratory."
"Oh, let's go." Rong Xiao stood up cooperatively and took the lead to walk towards the door of the isolation room, but the thing detected that she wanted to go out and refused to open the door, so the man in black had to come.
He glanced at Rong Xiao, took out a card from his pocket and swiped it on the machine. The door opened with two clicks.
On the way to the laboratory, the man in black walked behind Rong Xiao all the time. He would get nervous at the slightest movement, like a frightened little animal. Even though his face could not be seen, all his thoughts and emotions were reflected in his little movements.
Rong Xiao had been observing silently, and the bad thoughts in his stomach were bubbling out.
"It's here." The man in black reminded from behind.
This is a huge laboratory with many instruments that she cannot understand, and many people in white coats and masks are busy working.
The man in black seemed to be Rong Xiao's bodyguard. He took her in, said a few words to others and then gestured for her to lie down.
"We'll give you the energy fluid now, but first you need to put on the control collar," someone said as they brought out a black collar Rong Xiao had seen before and put it on her. The man in black stood by with his hands folded, explaining, "To be on the safe side, we'll give you injections regularly to neutralize your superpowers. Without them, you won't be able to remove this collar. If you don't want to die, I advise you not to try to rely on brute force."
The busy man in the white coat brought a few bottles of packaged energy liquid and prepared to give Rong Xiao an injection using a tool similar to an infusion.
The cold tip made Rong Xiao resist instinctively. She retracted her hand, and the needle that was about to poke in missed her target.
"Don't be afraid, we're not trying to harm you. This is really energy liquid, I promise." The man in black gestured and patted his chest, "If we wanted to kill you, why would we bring you back?
Rong Xiao glanced at the hanging bottle, deliberately pushed out some of the blue liquid inside, checked it carefully before handing his hand to them.
A slight prick on the back of his hand sent a cool feeling flowing into his body. Apart from the strong sense of the low temperature, Rong Xiao did not feel any discomfort or pain.
She raised her eyes to glance at the man in black and found that his eyes were curved, as if he was smiling at her.
"We're the only ones who have this stuff," the man in black said, pulling a chair over and sitting next to her like a hospital attendant. "Actually, the Executive Officer doesn't want to deal with you. He's looking for you for cooperation."
"Cooperation? Cooperation on what?"
"Unify the world."
Rong Xiao: “…”
She remembered the novel "Spoiled by the Boss of the End Times" that Yan Jue had given her before. The super villain in the novel often said the line "unify the world".
It would be better to say that it is conquering the world rather than unifying it.
Even those who lived peacefully in their own small space were not spared, and it was a complete disaster.
Having read similar novels, she thought she had experience. She knew that persuading the villain to turn back was just nonsense, and Rong Xiao would not waste her breath.
She said "oh" twice and then asked, "What do you want me to do?"
The man in black didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to, and his tone became like he was discussing with a friend: "I don't know the details, but we may be colleagues in the future! Believe me, we are not doing anything bad."
"But you killed a lot of people." Rong Xiao looked into his eyes and said motionlessly.
The figure beside the bed was stunned, as if someone had suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him. The man in black looked back into her eyes without avoiding or dodging, as if he had experienced a shock like a landslide in just a few seconds. He did not speak for a long time, and his eyes slowly lowered.
Rong Xiao thought he was angry.
After a while, his low voice came from the bedside: "I don't know if what he did is right, but he is my family, I will help him."
Why does this man in black give off such a silly feeling? Rong Xiao even suspects that he is easier to appease than her.
She didn't respond to him. She looked at the energy solution that was almost finished and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"What do you want to eat?" The man in black raised his head, his eyes still red.
Rong Xiao was stunned. What? Is there any other choice?
"Fried chicken, hamburgers, fries, and more fries if you like."
Since she could choose, she specifically chose the food she had seen in novels before.
I've heard Yan Jue talk about them before, but Rong Xiao has never eaten them and is very curious about their taste.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, repeated her words over and over again, walked to the door of the laboratory, called someone over and said something, then sat back down to accompany her to infuse the energy solution.
About half an hour later, a large plate of food was delivered.
Rong Xiao had only seen cartoon-like hamburgers and French fries in single-player games on his mobile phone.
After the energy liquid was infused, the man in the white coat took the needle from her hand and went about his own business.
The man in black pointed at the food and said, "Eat it, it's all your choice."
"Is this a hamburger?" Rong Xiao asked, picking up a round object. "I've never eaten it before."
"I think so. I...I haven't eaten it either."
These words immediately piqued Rong Xiao's curiosity. She glanced at him calmly and put her curiosity back in her stomach.
After Rong Xiao had eaten her fill, the man in black took her back to the isolation room and told her to rest for a while. The manager still had some things to take care of and would talk to her in person when the time came.
"Hey, I think I remember your voice. You're the man in black at the base," Rong Xiao called out to him. "You have wind-related abilities. I almost ripped off your pants, right?"
"Don't talk about this anymore!" The man in black waved his hands excitedly, and then quickly corrected, "It's not me, you're mistaken!"
Rong Xiao looked at him without blinking, how could he believe his denial?
"Can you please stop talking about this?" The man in black turned back and squatted beside her, his tone sounding like begging.
Isn’t it just that you almost pulled your pants down?
It's not like it was actually ripped off!
"Okay, I won't tell anyone, but... do you know?" Rong Xiao recalled the scene at that time. He was injured by her, and what flowed out was the same blue energy liquid as hers, not red blood.
This means that the person in front of her is of the same kind as her.
Or was it created after her.
"Wha…what?"
"I remember you and I both use energy fluids. We should be companions," Rong Xiao said, unfazedly extending a finger and poking the back of his gloved hand. "We shouldn't be killing each other, right?"
The man in black lowered his head, looked at the spot where Rong Xiao had poked him, and immediately hid his hand in his sleeve: "I will not betray my family."
Without waiting for Rong Xiao to continue, the man in black quickly opened the door of the isolation room and left, his back looking hurried as if he was running away.
After infusing the energy liquid, Rong Xiao felt less tired. He had slept too much during the day and was basically not sleepy. He leaned against the wall with his head in his arms and tried to think.
Tian Yiwen said that the experimental subject was blank when he just woke up.
What kind of people they become basically depends on what kind of people they meet.
Rong Xiao thought about her memories over and over again. She felt that she became who she is now all because of Teacher Mosaic... No, it was all because of Yan Jue, Long Qingyu, Ling Xi and the others.
Yan Jue helped her transform from a blank experimental subject who knew nothing into a normal person, and she learned a lot in the team, so she can be considered lucky.
What about the man in black just now?
After leaving the laboratory, how did he get to where he is today?
And the family he was talking about seemed to be the executive who took Tian Yiwen away, that is, the person who managed the entire Aita organization.
Rong Xiao was very curious about what kind of person that was, but it seemed that he would not meet him so soon. He had nothing to do, so he might as well... lie down for a while.
Touching the control collar on his neck, Rong Xiao knew very well that it could not be broken by brute force, and the situation on Tian Yuwen's side was still unclear, so she would not act in an extreme way casually.
I don't know whether it is night or day.
There are no windows in the isolation room, so you can't see outside. When Rong Xiao came back just now, he felt that it seemed to be getting dark outside.
Calculating the time, it should be evening now.
It was very quiet inside and outside the building. Only occasionally someone would walk by with a gun, glance at her, and then calmly leave, as if he was just making sure whether she was still there and whether she was locked up properly.
I used to be used to the sounds of Lingxi and the others breathing around me, but later on in the safe zone I got used to the sounds of life outside.
The isolation room was too quiet, causing Rong Xiao to toss and turn and unable to fall asleep.
She guessed it was probably early morning outside. Normally, she would have been in a dream by this time of the day.
That’s right…
What if Yan Jue can enter the dream, wouldn’t it be possible to contact him?
Rong Xiao suddenly became energetic, grabbed the quilt, straightened it out and covered himself with it, and went to sleep right away.
But she walked around the deserted city in her dream and never saw another person.
An empty city, and the whistling yet real sound of the wind.
It was because this feeling was too real that Rong Xiao suddenly felt an inexplicable loneliness and confusion.
A world where she's alone... Is this the... scary feeling?
The wind was howling all around, and Rong Xiao suddenly thought of Yan Jue, Ling Xi, and everyone he had just separated from...
The alarm sounded.
Rong Xiao, who was still dreaming, heard a nervous buzzing sound coming from the sky.
No, not in a dream!
When he opened his eyes, Rong Xiao felt that the atmosphere outside had changed. It was no longer as peaceful as before he fell asleep.
The sirens were so loud, circling overhead constantly, making it unbearable.
Rong Xiao leaned against the floor-to-ceiling glass and could only barely see what was happening in the corridor in front of him. He could not see anything happening outside.
After the dull sound of ping-pong, a body fell in front of the glass.
Rong Xiao quickly retreated, and someone just happened to walk out of his blind spot.
It’s Yan Jing!
He placed his hand on the card swiping area outside and shook it gently to unlock the card swiping machine. The door clanged a few times and opened automatically.
"Rong Xiao! Let's go!" Yan Jing rushed in without saying a word, grabbed Rong Xiao and was about to go out, when a thick black shadow appeared in front of him.
The cold light slashed from top to bottom along with the movement of the black shadow. The next second, a fierce murderous intent rose around. The invisible and terrible danger continued to stimulate Rong Xiao's newly recovered vigilance.
Seeing that Yan Jing was about to be cut by the wind blade, Rong Xiao raised his hand to pull him back and kicked him to the left with rough and fierce movements.
The man in black blocked the exit, still dressed the same as before.
Perhaps it should be said that the men in black in the base all dressed similarly, but Rong Xiao could still clearly discern a slightly different feeling from him.
"Stay here and don't go anywhere. I don't want to fight you." The man in black hadn't yet shown any killing intent towards Rong Xiao. "Hand that man over to me. If you don't obey, the bomb around your neck will explode at any moment."
"Screw you," Yan Jing cursed as he got up from the ground. "I'm telling you, with Rong Xiao here, I'm not afraid of you."
The man in black glanced at him, his eyes showing more alertness. "I know you, and I know what abilities you have. I won't necessarily lose to you."
The man in black mistook him for Yan Jue.
"I advise you to surrender immediately," Yan Jing seemed to think that the way he spoke was strange, and followed the man in black's words, "I don't want to kill anyone either. We just want to rescue Rong Xiao and leave."
"She can't leave. She has to cooperate with us."
"Huh? Cooperation? Cooperation? Is there any cooperation method like yours?"
The man in black didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking of a reason.
Finally, his eyes were shaken and lost their firmness: "We gave Rong Xiao the energy liquid. We didn't embarrass her, nor did we hurt her."
"That's enough," Yan Jing waved his hand to stop him. "No matter what you say, she must leave today."
The man in black was like a machine, attacking with the wind blade without mercy. The table that was originally placed aside suddenly flew into the air, and the metal table frame twisted into a ball and was hit by the wind blade with a loud clang.
"Wow, that's great!" Yan Jing's expression was excited, his hands waving in the air, "Come on, little guy, isn't it cool!"
The metal ball was spinning rapidly in the air. Although the wind blade was powerful, it could only leave marks on the clump of metal and could not cut through it directly.
The ball spun and hit the man in black, knocking him several meters away.
The next second, countless sharp blades flew in from outside, almost surrounding the man in black. Before he could use the wind blades, the blades stabbed at him one after another, making a dull sound as they penetrated the flesh.
The man in black gritted his teeth, pulled out a knife from his waist to block, but the metal blade flew out of his hand and bounced towards Rong Xiao.
"careful!"
The man in black quickly picked up the blanket on the ground, shook it into strips, and used it like a whip to knock away the blade flying towards Rong Xiao.
The blades floating in the air took advantage of the momentum and flew towards him. Countless blades were as fast as bullets, forcing the man in black to grit his teeth, close his eyes and give up resistance.
He is different from others.
Other experimental subjects, such as Rong Xiao, have awakened many superpowers.
However, he has only had wind-related abilities, and as long as he doesn't encounter a strong person with multiple abilities, he can still gain most of the advantages.
He knew very well that he was useless, but he kept trying to make his only superpower more powerful.
Now……
There's no need to work harder.
The blades flashed coldly in all directions, approaching quickly and then stopping just as quickly.
The man in black's stiff muscles tensed as he stared at the blade so close to him in disbelief. The rapidly approaching fatigue made him clearly feel that his condition was deteriorating.
"You're one of Xiaoxiao's kind," Yan Jue walked in from the entrance. His aura was completely different from the man next to Rong Xiao who looked exactly like him. "I don't know why you helped her just now, but you're lucky I'll spare your life. Although, even without you, that blade wouldn't have been able to really hurt Xiaoxiao."
The blade was quickly withdrawn, like an obedient elf, hiding in the decoration on Yan Jue's clothes.
"No need. This is my third failure. Just kill me," the man in black sat down against the wall, his existing wounds covered in leaking energy fluid. "Even if you don't kill me, he will. I... I'm not his strongest weapon to begin with. This third failure is the end of me."
Rong Xiao looked at him, his eyes seemed to penetrate him: "But you said, he is your family."
"I consider him family."
But maybe he doesn't consider me as family.
"Real family doesn't care how capable you are or whether you can help them. They just want you to live well," Rong Xiao thought carefully for a moment and emphasized seriously, "Besides, I don't think he is your real family. You can pretend that you have died once and make new choices."
"Xiaoxiao, let's go." The man at the door stretched out his hand, and Rong Xiao handed it to him without hesitation.
Yan Jing patted his chest and sighed beside him: "Sure enough, he mistook me for you. This substitute plan is quite effective."
First, let Yan Jing attack in front of Yan Jue's face, and when all the attention of the men in black is on Yan Jing, kill him by surprise.
"Where are the others?" Rong Xiao found that after coming out, he only saw Yan Jue and Yan Jing.
Besides this, there was one person who was not seen.
"Long Qingyu has taken people to look for Tian Yiwen. Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Huai deliberately destroyed the alarm to attract the laboratory's firepower to another direction. We don't have much time." Yan Jue took Rong Xiao on a detour. Anyone who wanted to stop them along the way was dealt with by him without mercy.
“Zizizi…”
The lights above my head made sounds and kept flashing, and the surrounding metal emitted electromagnetic sounds.
"What's going on?" Yan Jing simply hid behind Rong Xiao and nervously peeked through his eyes.
The sound of electricity became more and more obvious, but the culprit had not yet appeared.
"Yan Jue, give me a razor blade." Rong Xiao spread out her palm, and Yan Jue took out the razor blade and put it in her hand without asking any reason.
"You're leaving right after arriving?" A teasing voice came from the corner of the corridor. As he got closer, the sound of electricity became louder and louder.
The person who appeared in sight was dressed in black, but he seemed disdainful of disguising himself. He was not wearing a mask or a hat, and was squinting his eyes and looking at them with disdain.
"Lightning-related abilities?" Yan Jing poked Yan Jue and asked in a low voice.

Thunder and lightning crackled in the air. When a pile of metal rushed towards him, he released strong electricity without hesitation, splitting all the surrounding metal.
"Giving up pointless resistance can reduce damage," the man said with a smug smile. "If you insist on fighting me, I won't be polite either."
Yan Jing panicked and tugged at Rong Xiao's hand: "Rong Xiao, I'm relying on you. Even Yan Jue is useless. I have no choice but to rely on you!"
