Chapter 11

"... A total of 23 mutants escaped in this explosion, 5 of which were captured, 11 of which died accidentally during the capture process, and the whereabouts of the S-class critical mutants 'Tyrannosaurus', 'Viper', and 'Blue Whale' are still unknown."

The researcher was sweating as he spoke: "And one more thing..."

"say!"

The researcher immediately lowered his head, trembling, not daring to look at his boss's sullen face: "The negligent personnel who caused the virus to leak have been executed. We are also following up on the matter, but infected people have continued to appear in various places."

"…In no more than two months, it will break out on a large scale, and by then our secret forbidden experiment will surely be exposed."

"Everyone who has been involved in this will suffer, sir, we need your instructions."

The neatly dressed middle-aged man said nothing, but pressed his temples hard with his fingers, his face gloomy and changing constantly.

The researcher was terrified. Seeing the middle-aged man holding the cup tightly, he thought several times that the cup would hit him on the head.

Finally, the middle-aged man let out a deep breath.

He said hoarsely: "It's a mutant and an infected person. I can't hide it anymore..."

The researcher's heart shuddered.

If they fail to keep the secret, it means that all of them will be held accountable, and even death will be the least of their worries.

He felt sad and thought that they had really become sinners of the whole world this time.

The next second, I heard the middle-aged man say to continue keeping the news secret.

The researcher was shocked and asked, "But didn't you say, sir, that we can no longer keep it secret?"

The middle-aged man leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes: "Suppress the news and deal with it secretly. It's better to keep it a secret for as long as possible. Or should I say..."

He suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze as cold as a poisoned knife: "Do you want to die early?"

The researcher immediately dared not say anything.

After reporting the situation, he was about to leave when he heard the middle-aged man asking how many mutants were left in the base.

The researcher told the truth.

The middle-aged man hummed, "All research in the base will be suspended for now. All available resources will be prepared and put into the mutant control experiment."

"Tell them that if they don't produce results within two months, then no one will live. Do you understand?"

The middle-aged man's tone of voice changed unconsciously. Although his volume did not increase, it seemed as if a bloody storm was brewing.

The researcher responded tremblingly, but his heart was terrified and his hands and feet were weak.

According to the rules, the captured mutants were supposed to be destroyed, but the middle-aged man did not mention this again. Instead, he asked them to speed up and completely control the remaining mutants before the virus broke out.

...This is the rhythm of wanting to become the king of the army!

"One more thing." The middle-aged man seemed to have remembered something, "Is the psychedelic fox that only hopes to evolve to S-level still there?"

The researcher quickly said, "Yes."

"Focus on training and see if it can evolve in the near future."

"Yes, sir!"

By the time the researcher was completely out of the door, his back was covered in cold sweat. Thinking about the middle-aged man's implicit meaning in his words, he felt that the whole world would change soon.

"director!"

His assistant researcher came to him, looking anxious: "We just counted again, and there is one less C-class mutant!"

The frightened researcher almost stopped in his tracks and asked hurriedly, "Where's the psychedelic fox? Is that A-level psychedelic fox still there?!"

The assistant was frightened by the fear on his face: "It's still there, it's still there."

"Show me now!"

They rushed to the place where the mutants were imprisoned.

Since the last explosion, all mutants above level B have been locked up in solitary compartments. The walls are made of an alloy of super-high hardness, so that not even a fly can fly in. The only sound heard in the entire corridor is the deafening roar of the beasts.

"Director, this is it."

The researcher immediately stuck his head out and looked inside through the monitoring port.

But when he saw that there was nothing inside, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind and grabbed a guard by the collar.

"You call this still here? You call this still here?! I'm fucking your grandma!"

The guard was confused and took a look inside: "It's still there, isn't that it? Director, please take a closer look."

The researcher looked again and saw a pink shadow in the empty room.

I just didn't notice it for some reason.

His expression was dazed for a moment. The presence of the psychedelic fox was so obvious, how could he have missed it?

Shaking his head and not thinking any more, the researcher felt relieved and sternly ordered the guards to keep a close eye on the psychedelic fox.

If he guessed correctly, the boss should be preparing to use the psychedelic fox to deal with other escaped S-class after it evolves.

After all, among all the mutants, only this psychedelic fox has the ability to confuse others' cognition.

The assistant researcher had been waiting nearby. When he saw the researcher was about to leave, he stepped forward and asked, "Director, what should we do with the missing C-class?"

"Only one C-class is missing?"

"Yes, we checked back and forth, and there's only one C-class missing in the back."

"What is the original gene of the mutant?"

"It's a hybrid gene, but its morphology is that of a canary..."

Hearing this, the researcher suddenly lost the desire to listen and waved his hand impatiently: "It's just a C-class mutant, or a canary, it runs away, don't worry about it."

But that canary learned the mimicry that only A-levels have, and it is the only mutant that can survive after fusing two additional beast genes...

The assistant researcher wanted to say something but stopped himself. Looking at the team leader's unpleasant expression, he swallowed his words back.

At this moment, those people talking in the base did not know that a thin young boy was walking hurriedly on a hidden and deserted path in the moonlight.

He was holding a pink-haired little fox in his arms. Its nose was wet and its eyes were round. It raised its head as he panted: "Woo-woo..."

"Jiujiu, we have gone too far. The Phantom left behind can only hold on for another half an hour."

The boy remained calm and said, "Then hurry up, we'll be at the road soon. I'll stop a car and you can trick the humans into giving us a ride."

The pink-haired little fox nodded and obediently put its head close to his arms.

The boy touched it and asked, "Can you still sense the location of Tyrannosaurus No. 1?"

The pink fox shook his head.

The boy paused, pursed his lips and said, "Where is Viper No. 7?"

The pink fox was very hesitant, but still pointed in a general direction.

"Jiujiu, why don't we look for blue whales?"

"It lives in the sea, too far away, and it's all the same."

The boy said calmly, "Among the mutants that can grow to S-level and survive so many killing trials, is there any one who is a vegetarian?"

"To those S-class, we are no different from the meat they can eat and the weeds they can pull out."

The pink fox sniffed sadly: "But the snake will eat you."

"We are not looking for the snake, we are just using it to find Number One. You need the help of S-level aura to evolve into a complete form. We also need the protection of a strong person, and Number One...at least will not devour mutants."

The young man closed his eyes, a trace of extreme unwillingness flashed across his cold face, and he murmured to himself: "If I can become stronger, if I can evolve to S-level like them, I will definitely not be pushed around by others anymore."

Sunday, at Wen Xin's house.

"A-Lu! Did you steal those bags of potato chips I put in the utility room?"

Feeling guilty, the green group ran away, but was caught by Wen Xin, who was so angry that he raised his voice: "You still want to run!"

He didn't bother to continue scolding and quickly checked Green Ball's stomach.

Fortunately, it is flat and there are no abnormal protrusions.

Wen Xin also had a headache. He was not worried about the bags of potato chips, but about the half-opened plastic bags left among the potato chip crumbs on the ground.

This silly cat actually ate the packaging bag as well!

If he hadn't known that Green Ball was not an ordinary cat, and if Green Ball didn't look abnormal, he would have been carrying Green Ball to the hospital for a caesarean section.

Seeing the green ball looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, Wen Xin rubbed his forehead and brought it in front of the black ball: "Stand and watch it for ten minutes."

Black group: “…”

Green Group: “!”

The green group was furious. As a high and mighty S-class mutant, being punished by humans to stand was a huge shame!

It won't stand! No - stand -!

Ten minutes later.

Under the watchful eyes of the black group, the green group dared not move, feeling aggrieved like a young wife being bullied: "...Is it time already?"

Wen Xin stared at the watch, and when the time came, he asked, "Do you still dare to eat anything you want?"

The green ball meowed listlessly, as if to say that he didn't dare anymore.

Wen Xin rubbed its head and patted its cheeks a few times, finally making the unhappy Tuanzi whimper.

He looked at his phone again and saw that it was almost time for his appointment with Tang Qi, so he packed up and went out.

"Just stay at home and wait for me to come back and bring you some delicious food."

As soon as Wen Xin left, Lu Tuan, who had been looking depressed just now, immediately jumped up.

It returned to its original form as a viper, swung its tail, turned on the TV, and shook its head for a while, just like the monkey who is king when the tiger is away.

The black ball couldn't stand it and jumped onto the top of the cabinet.

The green group over there found a sad drama with incredible accuracy. In less than three minutes, they automatically put themselves in the shoes of the heroine and started to sob.

"How pitiful, woman, you clearly love him so much! Damn man, look back, can't you see she is crying!"

The black ball couldn't sleep because of the noise and took shallow breaths.

It couldn't help thinking that it was a good thing that Wen Xin only picked up this stupid snake. If there were more, there would be chaos.

At this time, Heituan never thought that his words would come true.
