Seeing Wang Zheng's complicated expression, Dang Liantao seemed to have read Wang Zheng's thoughts and continued with a smile:
"After we left the SWAT team, I secretly instructed Captain Liu Zhe to try it out. The experimental results showed that our elemental attacks could still kill the black mist inside those mutants."
It just requires a bit more spiritual energy.
Regardless of the demon's level or strength, as long as it can cause damage, we will definitely have an advantage fighting on our home turf.
You should think of it this way: if he were truly that strong, why would he bother with these sneaky tricks? He could just come out and confront us head-on.
Then he patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, after you finish the lab tests, go back and get some rest."
In a few days, Captain Liu might ask you to go to the police station for a few more treatments. We won't be going with you then. As for other things, don't worry about them; Lao Dan and I are here too."
Hearing that Dang Liantao was thinking of him so much, Wang Zheng felt a little embarrassed.
However, he had his own reservations, so he didn't refuse outright. He just didn't know how to handle the situation right now...
That's why Dang Liantao became the team leader; he relied on his ability to read people's expressions and moods.
He was fully aware of Wang Zheng's awkwardness at this moment, and only at this moment did Dang Liantao realize that Wang Zheng was still a 16-year-old boy.
Sensing Wang Zheng's worry, Lao Dang didn't blame him at all; he just found it a bit funny and ended up comforting Wang Zheng instead.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're just a temporary member of the team, not a soldier who has served for many years. Of course, you can't be put to dangerous jobs."
Besides, you are still young, and you have already shown such strength. Your future is limitless. We are too busy protecting you to bear the thought of putting you in danger.
When you truly mature and become capable of handling things independently, the contributions you can make will certainly far exceed what you're experiencing now.
At this point, Dang Liantao suddenly laughed.
"Even if you want to make a name for yourself now, it's not your turn. You've been too outstanding in the last few missions. Lao Dan has complained to me about it several times. This time you must show your skills and not let you outshine you again."
I estimate this incident won't end anytime soon. Even if there really is a high-level demon behind the mutants, he has definitely moved on by now.
If he doesn't offer himself up, we estimate it will be difficult to find him again anytime soon.
Moreover, even if I insisted on taking you there, Old Master Gu wouldn't agree.
"Just relax and get some rest. The final stage of the Heavenly Demon Awakening experiment will begin soon after the New Year. Use this time to rest and recuperate at home, conserving your energy so you can unleash your full power when the time comes."
Listening to Dang Liantao's comforting words and advice, Wang Zheng was speechless for a moment. Even with his thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed and could only nod silently in agreement...
What else could he say?
He was hesitant to say he would go along, especially since the other party had already gone to such lengths; any further hypocritical refusal would seem ungrateful.
He felt ashamed when asked if he should go, as he had always been at the forefront enjoying the benefits and gaining seniority, but had always stayed behind when there was danger.
In terms of strength, neither Dang Liantao nor Shan Changxu are only at the B level.
Two conflicting thoughts clashed in his mind, neither gaining the upper hand. Dang Liantao, however, assumed that Wang Zheng had heeded his advice and remained silent.
In silence, Wang Zheng and his companion soon arrived at the familiar laboratory.
Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, Wang Zheng patted his face to clear his mind of the troubling thoughts. As for the high-level demon, he'd deal with that later...
After the two of them pushed open the door to the laboratory, Wang Zheng didn't even have time to greet the researchers he knew before he was immediately covered with layers of protective clothing by several people in white coats and taken directly to a sealed room in the basement.
Wang Zheng showed no impatience whatsoever because of his superior physical attributes.
On the contrary, he checked his own protective gear more carefully and diligently than anyone else.
After all, compared to these researchers, Wang Zheng truly knew how terrifying the king of the Heavenly Demons was. Just thinking about the Heavenly Demons in the vast universe, he felt that he couldn't be too careful at this moment.
Once everything was ready, at the researcher's instruction, Wang Zheng began casting Holy Light spells on the bones, chunks of flesh, animal feet, tails, blood, and other remnants he had brought back from the bar.
At first, nothing seemed amiss under the holy light, but after Wang Zheng cast the holy light more than ten times, the blood in the glass containers suddenly began to react.
Suddenly, the previously calm, dark red blood began to bubble and boil, then started to churn like boiling water. As it churned, wisps of black mist carrying the aura of a celestial demon emerged from the scarlet blood...
