As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, West spotted the woman next to Bryta from afar and rushed over, only to be ruthlessly blocked by the guards.
West, being a shrewd man, could tell from the demeanor of the Englishman before him that he was probably a high-ranking figure in the empire. He quickly tried to curry favor with the man through the guards and then instructed Bretta to serve him well.
Apa booked all the VIP seats in the front row of the boxing ring. Noldowen led Bryta to the best spot in the center of the first VIP row, attracting the attention of all the spectators in the vicinity.
Bryta was completely unaware of this excessive attention and was still pleased that he had brought a big client to West's boss.
At this moment, the boxing match was halfway through and at its most exciting, with bursts of enthusiastic cheers echoing throughout the arena.
Meanwhile, on the second floor diagonally opposite where Blaita was sitting, Lin Dao, wearing a black hood, glanced expressionlessly at the VIPs in front of him, then looked away and told Cheng Cheng about the beverage processing plant incident that night.
He did make a discovery: the medicine bottle and the beverage bottle definitely came from the same source. He and Cheng Cheng followed the clues and continued their investigation, discovering that the processing plant had an upstream supplier that provided the raw materials.
Several attempts to trace the route revealed that the raw material export route invariably led to this underground city. The city had 20 levels, some accessible only by swiping a restricted access card. They struggled to pinpoint the location within this vast maze.
"Have the test results from You's side come out yet?"
"I urged them this morning, and they said it would be done soon and they would contact you as soon as it's finished."
"Um."
Lin Dao frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. He felt that something lurking in the darkness was about to emerge.
Looking down at the vast boxing arena, listening to the deafening roar of the crowd, and watching the spectators in the stands screaming and cursing wildly because of the bloody boxing scenes on stage.
"Kill him! Kill him!! Kill him!!!"
"Go! Kill that weakling!"
"Kill him! Kill him! Beat him to a pulp!"
...
At this point, the boxer on the stage was almost unilaterally dominating his opponent, pounding him to the ground. The opponent's face was bruised and red, and he was almost out of his mind. The scene at the scene descended into a one-sided frenzy.
Seeing this, Bryta felt a chill run down his spine. He looked around and saw that the people around him had bloodshot eyes, waving their hands and shouting encouragement for violence. They were all holding bottles of popular drinks, and before he knew it, almost everyone had one.
As he turned his head, he noticed that Mr. Donovan beside him always wore an elegant smile, which made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
Noticing his gaze, Donovan turned his head and considerately leaned closer to him, asking, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Bryta nodded.
Donovan reached out and gently placed his hand on his shoulder, asking patiently and tenderly, "Shall I take you away?"
Bryta paused slightly, somewhat hesitant.
At this moment, Lin Dao realized that something was wrong. He jumped off the second floor and fired a shot into the air, but it still didn't stop the boxer in the ring. Wearing a hood and with a stern face, he stepped onto the ring in his military boots. Although Bretta couldn't see his face clearly, she recognized him.
Before Lin Dao could fire, he quickly reached out and punched the completely irrational, bloodshot-eyed boxer, deflecting his attack and stopping him.
He used considerable force, and the boxer's mouth bled.
The audience at the scene went even more wildly upon seeing this.
Lin Dao stood on the ring, his brows furrowed deeply. From his angle, he surveyed the audience seats around the arena, where a deafening roar echoed: "Kill him! Kill him!!"
That kind of hot-blooded, bestial feeling deeply stimulated him. He clenched his fists, and before he could control himself, he sensed movement behind him. Almost reflexively, he turned around and punched the irrational boxer who wanted to sneak attack him, knocking him to the ground. A spurt of blood from the boxer's mouth splashed onto the ring.
He clenched his fists, looked around with a deep gaze, and felt an even stronger sense of unease rising in his heart.
Just then, his communicator suddenly rang. After answering, Xiang You's urgent voice came through the earpiece:
"Extraterrestrial hormones! That beverage contains trace amounts of extraterrestrial hormones! Overconsumption has the same effect as injection!"
"What did you say?!" Lin Dao shouted angrily, looking around. Only then did he realize that almost every one of these crazed spectators had a bottle of beverage emitting a dark green fluorescent light!
Bretta, sitting not far away, suddenly saw Lin Dao on stage, radiating a chilling aura. Instinctively, she nodded fearfully to Donovan, "Okay. Let's leave..."
Donovan smiled and reached out to help him stand up, placing his hand on Donovan's shoulder. In that instant, Lin Dao's hawk-like eyes caught sight of the blond man a few meters away, who was turning and leaving with Bryta, and he felt that the man looked familiar.
Donovan and Bryta walked step by step up the exit steps, turning their backs on the surrounding noise. He nodded gracefully and smiled at the red-glowing, earring-like device beneath his ear:
"—Let's begin."
Before Lin Dao could even sort out the identity of the blond man from his chaotic thoughts, he suddenly sensed something was wrong behind him. He turned around alertly and found that the boxer, who was originally all muscle, had rapidly and bizarrely swelled up in a few seconds!
In the blink of an eye, a muscular monster, nearly three or four meters tall, with greenish skin, filled most of the arena!
"Aaaaaah—!"
"Aaaaaah!! A mutant! There's a mutant!!!"
The screams from all around were like landmines that had been lying in wait exploding one after another.
Lin Dao turned around and suddenly saw that many people in the audience were simultaneously undergoing painful and distorted transformations!
Hearing the commotion, Blaita turned around in surprise and stared wide-eyed at the hellish scene before her.
