Lu Zhaoming's gaze was fixed on the black transport vehicle, and he secretly plotted his next move.
He licked his dry lips, took a deep breath, and approached silently.
The shadowy figures inside the car made him even more certain that it was filled with experimental subjects modified by the white-robed men.
This was his perfect opportunity to penetrate deep behind enemy lines and the key to uncovering the White Robe's conspiracy.
Before long, the transport truck stopped in an abandoned industrial area.
Everywhere you look, there are dilapidated buildings and abandoned machines, as if time has stood still.
Lu Zhaoming cautiously crept into the vicinity, hiding behind a dilapidated wall, and observing the surrounding situation through the gaps.
The industrial area has been converted into a temporary testing ground, filled with the pungent smell of chemicals and the roar of machinery.
He saw many test subjects imprisoned in iron cages, their eyes vacant, as if they had lost their souls.
Their bodies were covered with all sorts of strange runes and wires, making them look extremely terrifying.
Xiao Hu was standing among a group of test subjects. His condition was more unstable than before, his eyes were shining with a crazy light, and his body was trembling from time to time.
Lu Zhaoming's heart sank. He knew that Xiao Hu's condition had reached an extremely dangerous point and could get out of control at any moment.
He had to find a way to rescue Xiao Hu, but the area was clearly teeming with spies in white robes, and he could be exposed at any moment.
Lu Zhaoming decided to find out the situation first. He slowly approached the entrance to the experimental field, but just as he was about to get close, a tall figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
Old fox!
Cold sweat broke out on his back instantly. The old fox's eyes flashed with cunning and hostility, clearly recognizing him.
"Hmph, I thought you could escape my grasp, Lu Zhaoming." Old Fox sneered, and his men immediately surrounded him, holding strangely shaped new weapons, ready for battle.
Lu Zhaoming sensed something was wrong and quickly activated the newly unlocked ability-restraining module.
He felt his internal energy surge instantly, a powerful force shooting from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, filling him with strength.
He swiftly dodged the attacks of several test subjects, while at the same time, the subjects' movements became sluggish, as if bound by invisible chains.
"Kill!" Lu Zhaoming shouted, his hand flashing with energy. He threw a punch, striking a test subject squarely in the chest.
The test subject seemed to have been struck in a vital spot, his body suddenly staggering back several steps, letting out a shrill scream.
But more enemies quickly surrounded him, and although Lu Zhaoming had the upper hand, he gradually felt the pressure increasing.
Just then, Xiao Hu suddenly sprang up, exuding a terrifying aura, his eyes becoming even more crazed.
He broke free of the iron cage and charged wildly into the crowd.
His strength was astonishing; he punched several of Old Fox's men, sending one of them flying several meters away.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Zhaoming quickly approached Xiaohu. He saw Xiaohu's...
"Little Tiger, do you still remember who I am?" Lu Zhaoming called out softly, his voice carrying a hint of urgency and tenderness.
Xiao Hu's gaze paused slightly, as if he had found a glimmer of light in this chaos.
Lu Zhaoming seized the opportunity, activated his Judgment Eye, and locked onto Xiao Hu's weakness.
He leaped forward and subdued Xiaohu with a precise strike.
As Xiao Hu fell to the ground, he whispered, "Quick... get out of here... they're coming."
Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, a booming sound came from afar, and the white-robed man personally led his troops to arrive.
He quickly concealed his whereabouts and used the terrain to evade pursuit.
Amidst the chaos, Lu Zhaoming discovered that a batch of crucial data was stored in the core area of the experimental field.
He crept closer and discovered that the data recorded the white-robed man's new experimental progress: by combining genetic modification with mind control, they were creating "perfect warriors" who were completely obedient to orders.
This discovery enraged him, his eyes practically spitting fire, but it also strengthened his resolve to stop the White Robe.
Just as he was preparing to leave, the system interface popped up another notification: "Abnormal activity detected in the core experimental subject, suspected to be the White Coat initiating the final test."
Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat. Holy crap, the final test?
It sounds like a final exam, but this examiner probably wants to fail him outright, in a physics-related way!
This old man in the white robe, after holding back for so long, is finally about to reveal his most treasured possession.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a mocking yet ruthless smile curled at the corner of his lips. He said in a low voice, "It seems the real showdown is just around the corner. Want to play for high stakes? I'm ready to play along!"
Before the words were even finished, an indescribable sense of oppression suddenly spread from the core area of the experimental field. It felt like being doused with a bucket of ice water on a sweltering summer day—cool to the bone, but utterly exhilarating!
It's the kind of heavy feeling that makes your hair stand on end and even your breathing feel sticky.
A strange, sweet, fishy smell wafted in the air, like rotten fruit mixed with the smell of rust, making Lu Zhaoming's stomach churn.
He could even feel a faint tremor beneath his feet, a thumping sound, as if some enormous thing was beating rhythmically underground, preparing to break through the soil.
"That old man in the white robe has been hiding his true intentions well; he even has such a backup plan." Lu Zhaoming clicked his tongue, but he wasn't intimidated at all. On the contrary, he was a little excited, like a cat seeing a mouse.
The bigger the occasion, the more energetic he gets!
He would be unworthy of his title as "Doomsday Judge" if he didn't turn this so-called "final test" upside down.
He took a deep breath, and his eyes, which always carried a hint of cynicism, were now as sharp as a hawk's, locked on the direction of the core area.
"System, stop dawdling and mark the map of the core area for me. I need the fastest and most discreet route!"
