Yecheng Mountain Suburbs.
Outside the boundary of the competition venue.
A green SUV slowly drove up the mountain road.
Upon seeing this, two soldiers from the interdimensional army stationed at the mountain pass immediately stepped forward to stop them: "Please stop the car!"
The SUV stopped. Two soldiers stepped forward and knocked on the window: "Excuse me, the road ahead is currently blocked and passage is prohibited. Please take another route."
The car window was slowly rolled down.
Sitting in the driver's seat was a man who looked to be around thirty-five years old. He had a hooked nose, a clean-shaven chin with visible bruises, and deep-set, azure eyes that seemed to possess a strange charm, like a white wolf on a snowy plain.
"Why?" the man asked, raising his chin.
“The area ahead has been rented out, and the surrounding mountains and forests within a ten-kilometer radius have been blocked off,” one of the soldiers said seriously. “So we can’t pass through here.”
"Heh, is that so..." A strange blue light suddenly flashed in the man's deep eyes.
"Huh!..." Both soldiers were stunned for a moment, their eyes widening in surprise.
Then, as if they had lost their souls, they backed away.
Then one of the soldiers picked up the walkie-talkie on his waist and said expressionlessly, "Security visitor, permission granted."
The road gates were opened.
The man grinned slightly and rolled down the car window again.
The off-road vehicle restarted, successfully passed the checkpoint, and drove into the barrier.
......
"Smack!"
A crisp slap across the face.
"Damn it, who gave you permission to act on your own?!" Brother Li glared at Hu Xiong and his group.
Tiger Bear had a clear red mark on his face, and his eyes looked quite defiant.
The other contestants behind them didn't dare to say a word.
"You're not listening to my orders, are you? You're acting on your own, are you?! Trying to steal the credit, are you...?"
Brother Li kicked Hu Xiong hard, one kick after another.
Show no mercy whatsoever.
They actually kicked him to the ground.
"You idiots! Don't you know the abilities that Lin Nai showed before?"
"With your strength, unless you all take all the life-saving gene serum at once, you won't be a match for them even if you all attack together!"
"You all know this perfectly well, yet you still blindly follow them. You're all employees of the gene company, and you have no grudge against them. Why are you following them with such a clear purpose? Are you afraid they won't realize that our gene company is going to take action against them?!"
"You've exposed all my plans!"
The room was quiet, except for Brother Li's cursing and the sound of each kick.
The other contestants around them all showed signs of reluctance.
The monkey was lying on the shop window in the room, sleeping with its legs crossed, looking like it could never get enough sleep.
The white beast was tidying up its own things, completely oblivious to the situation around it.
Tiger finally couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly jumped up from the ground, shoved Brother Li aside, and roared with red eyes, "You're just a team leader! Why should you give orders?!"
Brother Li frowned: "What did you say?"
"The company's orders are for us to obtain the genetic data of two Apostles and also to win the mystery prize for first place!" Tiger sneered, "Giving us these orders is nothing more than wanting us to be your stepping stones to complete your mission, right? When the mission is completed, you, as the team leader, will get the company's reward, while we stepping stones who risked our lives will get nothing!"
Brother Li's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Hmph... So what if you are? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You're only good enough to be a stepping stone. If I gave you the chance to complete the mission, could you do it?"
Hu Xiong said in a deep voice, "I will complete it." As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face and spat a mouthful of pus and blood on the ground: "In short, I will no longer follow the orders you give me in the following competitions."
Brother Li: "You're asking for it..." He said, and was about to throw a punch forward.
Brother Zhang quickly pulled him back: "Hey, that's enough..."
Then he turned to look at Hu Xiong, paused, and said, "Actually, if you really want to try, you'll have a chance in the next round of the competition."
Hu Xiong's eyes lit up: "The rules for the next round of the competition have been released?"
“Hmm,” Brother Zhang said, “The next round is a challenge arena battle. According to the rankings of the previous round, the lower-ranked contestants can challenge the higher-ranked contestants to get a chance to advance. In this kind of arena battle, you will have a legitimate reason to get close to those two apostles and find an opportunity to extract their genes. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on yourself.”
Hu Xiong thought for a moment, clenched his fist, and said, "Alright! If we fail, I don't care if the company punishes us!"
After the meeting, Brother Zhang patted Brother Li on the shoulder and smiled smugly: "See? Now that's what you call knowing how to talk! If you ask them to fight to the death, they'll definitely be resentful and fight back if you do it the way you do. But if I stir things up like this, Tiger Hero will definitely go all out to get people to self-destruct in the next round."
Brother Li pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
Just then, a man rushed in from outside, lowering his voice to say, "Brother Li, Brother Zhang, Mr. Lei Luo from the Black Angels is here..."
Zhang was stunned: "Lei Luo? He's already here? He's entered the barrier?"
"right."
"How is that possible? We haven't even gone to pick him up yet, how did he get into the barrier?"
"Do we need you to pick us up for such a trivial place?"
A deep, resonant mid-to-low frequency sounded.
The man with eyes like a white wolf walked in. He was wearing a large trench coat, and he took off the hood, revealing his resolute face and azure eyes.
Upon seeing this man, Brother Li immediately flashed a fawning smile: "Oh dear... Mr. Lei Luo, didn't we agree that we would come to pick you up? If you come in like this, what if the event organizers accidentally spot you..."
"Oh, you guys are too slow, I can't be bothered to wait." Lei Luo walked in with his hands in his trench coat pockets, stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside, and said indifferently, "Besides, I don't care if they find out. I'm just here to take away what belongs to our Black Angels. If any of those human ants dare to interfere or get in my way, I'll just take the extra effort to deal with them all at once."
“This…” Brother Li and Brother Zhang exchanged a glance.
Brother Zhang chuckled twice and said, "Mr. Lei Luo, I know your strength, but you shouldn't have forgotten what our company's deal with you was about..."
"We'll give you the key to access this dimension so you can retrieve what you want, but... you'll have to help us get what we want too, hehehe..."
"Don't worry, this is a trivial matter, something as simple as moving a finger. I wouldn't lie to you." Lei Luo glanced at them. "It's nothing."
