Chapter 104 Embryo
When the topic of raising evil spirits came up, they all fell silent.
The man carrying the black box frowned and said, "It's most likely there, we just haven't seen it yet."
"What are you afraid of? Isn't Yang Xie's weakness still right here?" Black Crow made a shooting gesture towards Dang Hongyuan in the crowd below, then smiled slyly, "If we capture Dang Hongyuan, can we use him to make a deal with Yang Xie and get them to hand over Xuan Linwen?"
"Naive." The man patted Black Crow on the shoulder, telling him not to be so naive.
The box on my back suddenly became restless, as if it sensed something.
Black Crow was a little afraid that the thing might suddenly appear, so he quietly shifted his position and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with that thing?"
The man's expression was solemn; his reaction suggested he sensed some danger, but... that shouldn't be the case.
Meanwhile, Changhe slipped into their shadows, wandering among them, but unexpectedly, he was caught by Lu Zhi.
He sensed this thing as soon as it appeared. He could ignore others, but since this thing's target was the rider, he had to take it into consideration.
Although he didn't come in person, his clone was still on Suicheng's body, which was still somewhat useful.
Changhe lurked in the shadows of Suicheng, preparing to launch a sneak attack when an opportunity arose, but suddenly a powerful mental force struck him, knocking him out of Suicheng's shadow.
Before they could even react to what was happening, Sui Cheng wielded an electric blade and struck directly at them.
Changhe dodged quickly, but was still slashed on the arm by the electric blade.
"Who?" Changhe wanted to find the source of that spiritual power.
But Suicheng wouldn't give him a chance, punching him in the body. The thunderstorm exploded instantly, shattering Changhe's internal organs.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices, but he dodged it with a swift movement.
"Be good, there are people watching up there." Lu Zhi's voice reached his ears. The vines had somehow climbed up Sui Cheng's neck, and the green leaves were brushing against his face.
The law enforcement officer told the attendant the location of those people.
There were three people and a mutant in the building just behind them.
"Godfather, let me go!" When Black Crow saw that Changhe was dead, he quickly stood up, grabbed his weapon, and prepared to rush forward.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Just as Black Crow was stopped, a bullet whizzed through the air.
"Godfather, Black Crow, be careful!"
"Jiang Yi!"
Jiang Yi shielded himself from the unavoidable bullet with his body, but his shoulder was blown open, leaving a bloody hole and his entire arm useless.
But the next second, mycelium-like things sprouted from his body and slowly stitched up the shattered flesh and bones.
Knowing there were snipers, they went into hiding.
Black Crow whispered, "Is it raising evil spirits?"
"It's most likely him." Jiang Yi said, his face pale. "It must be the aura emanating from the thing in the box that was detected. Godfather, what should we do now?"
"Phew, don't be afraid." The man took a deep breath and took the box off his back.
He fastened a device to his wrist and moved Black Crow and Jiang Yi closer to him to prevent them from being accidentally injured.
The black box was opened, revealing a clump of withered vines curled up together. If Sui Cheng and the others saw it now, they might recognize it as the super-powered creature they had previously encountered in Yancheng, which had been named "Ghost Vine".
"Won't there be any problems using it so soon?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but worry.
He had seen people use the Ghost Vine before, but because they lost control of their mental power, they lost control of the Ghost Vine and almost perished.
“It’s alright,” the man said. “I brought two mind controllers with me this time.”
The mind controller he was referring to were those two things on his wrists.
They went downstairs.
Black Crow dug a hole in the ground, and the man placed the Ghost Vine in the hole. He then took out a bottle from his bag, which contained crystal core powder, and scattered it all over the Ghost Vine.
In an instant, the ghost vine burrowed into the ground and began to spread and grow infinitely.
Lu Zhi sensed the appearance of the Ghost Vine earlier than anyone else because he had also seen the Ghost Vine and remembered its aura.
Green Leaf nuzzled Suicheng's face, and Lu Zhi's solemn voice came: "Retreat quickly, they brought superhumans."
The servant was startled and immediately shouted, "Retreat!"
Dang Hongyuan and the others didn't ask why; they just followed him.
"Twenty meters underground, turn left..."
“Right…” Lu Zhi whispered in his ear, “Don’t go near any tall buildings, go to a spacious place.”
Meanwhile, he himself was not idle either. Their car was parked in the square, and Lu Zhi, who also had the communicator given to him by Yang Xie, directly opened the full channel and said: "20 meters underground, there is a super-powered species, which may be the Ghost Vine from Yancheng. Everyone move to open areas and do not go near tall buildings."
Yang Xie paused for a moment, then immediately headed in the direction of Dang Hongyuan and the others.
Before they could find a safe place, the ground began to tremble violently, and a crack appeared in the center of the road, through which black vines were constantly moving.
The tall building is about to collapse and is on the verge of falling.
Having dodged the falling rocks, he led Xuan Linwen and followed behind the others.
Xuan Linwen didn't seem very flustered. He said calmly, "Captain Sui, if you let go of me now, you might be able to run faster."
"Then tell me, what exactly did you take from the New Generation?" Sui Cheng didn't think that the New Generation had gone to such lengths to use the Ghost Vine just for a small experimental subject.
Xuan Linwen fell silent, seemingly unwilling to speak.
Sui Cheng smashed a rock and said coldly, "It's fine if you don't talk. But if my teammates get hurt because of you today, I'll have Lu Zhi eat your brains out."
The vine twitched, sensing that his wife might have misunderstood him, and whispered in his ear, "Darling, I don't eat humans."
Sui Cheng pinched the leaves on the vine. Of course, he knew that it was just something to threaten Xuan Linwen.
Xuan Lin trembled slightly upon hearing this. The spiritual seed left by Lu Zhi still resided in his mind, and the possibility of someone eating his brain was not impossible.
He seemed to have given up struggling, and sighed, saying, "I stole an embryo from their lab."
"Embryon?" the attendant asked in a deep voice. "What embryo?"
"An embryo born from a human and a different species."
Sui Cheng stumbled, shocked, and exclaimed, "What?"
His reaction was exactly what Xuan Linwen expected, and he even said with a hint of schadenfreude, "That's right, it's the one you're thinking of, a naturally conceived human embryo with a different species."
"I'm very curious, how did this happen?" Lu Zhi's voice came, this time not just to his attendant, but to Xuan Linwen.
“Out of a hundred experiments, only one was successful,” Xuan Linwen said. “The process was brutal. They used extremely cruel methods to achieve the experimental results. Even I couldn’t bear to watch. Although betrayal was not part of my plan, this embryo could not exist under any circumstances.”
