Chapter 66
The black market is so huge that the first suspicious places to investigate are the warehouses scattered in every corner.
Pushing open the rusty iron door, there was no one in the room except for dust scattered on the floor and some empty boxes.
Jiang Zihan couldn't help but cast a skeptical look: "Are you sure the person who installed the tracker is still on the black market?"
Lu Chenyuan was staring at the red dot on the communicator and analyzing it carefully. He conducted counter-tracking based on the positioning chip in the tracker, but it was obvious that the other party was not simple-minded. When he finally found a positioning device the size of a thumb in the corner, the clues he had were completely cut off.
He carefully analyzed the clues left behind and then explained, "This thing was thrown in from the window. Judging from the traces, the person shouldn't have gone far."
Jiang Zihan: "Should we chase them? Will there be an ambush?"
Lu Chenyuan shook his head: "It's hard to say. They are so cautious, I don't think they will give up tracking easily. It's still a bit dangerous to act rashly."
Jiang Zihan sighed and turned to look outside the door. Now that everyone was here, it would be a shame to just go back like this.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from the shadows. Lu Chenyuan quickly held Jiang Zihan's shoulders and blocked her behind him. A few seconds later, a familiar white-haired head emerged from the corner.
Lu Chenyuan turned his head and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, because in the darkness, more than a dozen pairs of bright eyes appeared. They were a group of small war beasts!
Jiang Zihan took out a handful of nuts and fed them one by one, with a smile on his face: "See, you have to learn to ask others for help when it matters most."
Lu Chenyuan narrowed his eyes and sensed a familiar aura from those small war beasts. Most of them were from the group of war beasts gathered outside the emergency center! He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zihan. When did she gather so many war beasts?
After finishing his snacks, the Monkey King touched his mouth, squeaked twice, and waved his hand to signal them to follow.
The darkness enveloped the surroundings, leaving them completely silent. The moonlight was almost completely swallowed by the dark clouds. The Monkey King leaped lightly, and the small war beasts followed silently behind him, almost blending perfectly into the night.
When they arrived near a building, the Monkey King started to take them on a detour. Although he had lived in the mountains for a long time, he was very skilled in controlling the situation.
After going around the side of the building, several little shadow mice appeared out of nowhere and consciously pushed open the cover of the ventilation duct for them.
Jiang Zihan was a little hesitant, and Lu Chenyuan decisively took the lead. The pipeline was winding, and some war beasts followed him in, while the rest stayed outside to provide support.
Jiang Zihan carefully extended her mental power, and in order to avoid other psychic users in the building, she carefully avoided everything.
This building is too empty.
Even if it was in the black market, even if there was a battle on the border, it shouldn't be so empty. She scanned the first floor and memorized almost everything, and finally reached the end of the pipe.
It was an empty room. There were still notes and formulas on the walls, including a few medical reports, but no one had left. Lu Chenyuan was the first to step forward to investigate. His breath suddenly hitched as he took a closer look. He pulled down a photo taped to the side, revealing Jiang Zihan.
So the physical examination report above is Jiang Zihan's?
Jiang Zihan, who was squatting on the other side, was carefully examining the incubators. Several unidentified objects were floating in the incubators that had been disconnected from the power source. Before she could distinguish them, she saw the Monkey King crying out at the mass of things.
After realizing what this was, Jiang Zihan felt a little upset. These people had indeed known about the existence of the Golden White Monkey for a long time, and had even begun to fuse its genes for experiments on mutants.
"It should be the rebels, for sure." Lu Chenyuan confirmed after comparing the clues that all the information here matched that on the island, even the blood samples related to Jiang Zihan were taken from the island.
The early experiments had actually failed because Jiang Zihan had no reaction to those genetic solvents. If "she" had not tried her best to escape, this body would have been injected with the mutation virus and become one of those evil beasts.
However, "Jiang Zihan" who drifted to Area F awakened her special abilities and gained the ability to remove deformities from war beasts. The rebel organizations became interested in this failed experimental subject and even placed an order to purchase her blood samples at a high price on the black market.
Jiang Zihan raised her eyebrows: "Put everything in order and report it immediately." Even if it was just for her own safety, she couldn't let these people continue to make trouble in secret.
Lu Chenyuan was silent for a moment: "Do you know what this means? Aren't you afraid that the people above will want to conduct experiments on you?" As an experimental subject who was able to awaken high-level superpowers after so many injections, there must be many people who want to dig out the secrets of her.
Jiang Zihan shook his head. "This matter can't be solved by just the two of us. Besides, if the sky falls, there's someone taller to hold it up. I don't believe I've saved so many people, only to end up with nothing to protect them. If that's the case, I'll have no choice but to retreat to the island with all my war beasts."
Chang Gung Base is her last resort. Human experiments are not allowed by the Federation. Even if someone wants to tamper with something, they cannot attack the island openly.
Lu Chenyuan pressed the communicator, but when he finally sent the message, it showed a failure. His heart sank: "No, there are facilities here that block signals. The message cannot be sent."
The two could only put the information away and let the small war beast take the things out first.
Jiang Zihan warned, "Do you know the emergency center? Be careful. If you see someone passing by, hide. Saving your life is the most important thing, okay?"
Silver Fox Mouse Rabbit had a tube of information slung across his back and nodded heavily when he heard the voice.
The two continued to explore other rooms. Since the signal could not be transmitted, they had to write down the layout here so as to avoid being disappointed when support arrived.
Passing through a room, Jiang Zihan vaguely sensed something was amiss. Pushing the door open, they froze at the sight inside. There were numerous cages, chained to the ground, war beasts covered in stitches. A second pair of wings had been sewn onto a steel-winged bird, and a lizard's tail had been attached to a spirit fox. Their auras were so distorted and mixed that even the Monkey King couldn't help but step back, mistaking them for aliens.
Jiang Zihan's eyes flashed with struggle: "These are all transformed, not naturally awakened war beasts."
After spending so much time together, Lu Chenyuan could guess what she was thinking and said frankly, "Saving her once is saving her, saving her twice is also saving her. Don't worry about it, I will help you."
The two men first let the small war beasts hide, and then went forward to untie the chains. Once the cages were opened, the remaining war beasts would not have much time to hide.
When the first alarm sounded, Lina was in a daze in his room. After hearing the unusual movement, he stood up suddenly and rushed in that direction.
When he was halfway through the run, the ventilation window on the top suddenly fell down, and several furry figures emerged from it.
Lin Na quickly stopped and looked up: "Why are there so many shadow rats?" His back suddenly felt numb, and he turned his head instinctively, but was knocked unconscious by a flying kick from the sky.
Jiang Zihan followed closely behind and gave it a thumbs up: "Well done!"
She took notes as she walked, having recorded almost every room on this floor. Aside from a few rooms housing experimental war beasts, the other rooms contained a wealth of experimental equipment and data. However, she saw few people, and the few guards she encountered were quickly dispatched. Her heart sank. Either those people were on the other floors, or the core rebel forces had already withdrawn!
"Time is running out, let's go first!" She opened the balcony door and drove all the experimental war beasts over.
Jiang Zihan: "You go first and find a car to pick us up."
Lu Chenyuan glanced at the building: "No, it's too dangerous."
"It's dangerous if you stay. Even if we escape, how can we outrun them on foot? Go quickly and remember to drive faster." Jiang Zihan pushed him.
Lu Chenyuan glanced at the Monkey King and said, "Protect her!"
The pressure of the S-level war beast on the Monkey King made the experimental war beasts tremble, but Jiang Zihan had a calming aura on her, so they instinctively approached her.
Jiang Zihan leaned over the balcony and looked down. It was six or seven stories high, a bit dangerous for the little ones, but there was a lower platform not far away that would provide a buffer. So she pulled out a blanket and tore it into long strips. The shadow mice held the other end in their mouths and slid down the pillar, connecting the two parts.
Those experimental war beasts were sent down along the blanket. Although the other war beasts were somewhat repulsed by these experimental war beasts with strange auras, they still lent a hand from below and successfully transported them to the platform.
In the darkness of night, when all the war beasts had retreated, Jiang Zihan looked around. It was so quiet here that even the wind had almost stopped.
The strings in her heart were inexplicably tense. Something was wrong. After so long, why hadn't the guards come? Could it be that the rebels' defense was so lax?
She sent her mental power out again, but nothing was found. Empty, empty, empty rooms everywhere. A faint sound caught her attention, so she sent her mental power in that direction.
Beep—beep—
The sound rang out at a constant speed, just like the sound of a clock.
Jiang Zihan's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively flipped over from the balcony. The moment his body was in the air, "BOOM!"
A loud bang was heard in the high-rise building, and scorching flames gushed out. The aftermath of the explosion directly blew her out in mid-air.
As she fell, she tried her best to twist her body and just managed to grab a small bulge on the fourth-floor windowsill. Her whole body was hanging in the air, and a fishy and sweet taste suddenly rose in her throat.
The Monkey King was blown away by the explosion and quickly rushed back. Its right arm hung limply, obviously injured by the shock wave.
Unable to use its hands, it had to fix itself on the railing with its two feet, desperately stretching out its only remaining left arm, but it couldn't reach Jiang Zihan, and its whole face wrinkled with anxiety.
The crisis has not been resolved yet, the explosions in the building are still continuing, and it seems that this floor will be affected as well.
"Hurry up!" Jiang Zihan urged the Monkey King, "Leave here!"
The Monkey King shook his head decisively and tried to move to another place to continue the rescue, his white fur becoming dusty.
Jiang Zihan took a deep breath and looked down, feeling a dull pain in his chest. A bomb had been placed in the building in advance, and it seemed that the rebels had been prepared for it.
If you jump down, you will most likely break your arms and legs or even become paralyzed, but there is at least a 50% chance of survival. However, if you are blown up again, you may die directly from internal organ rupture.
Damn rebels! She gritted her teeth and smiled bitterly, her fingertips already numb.
After seeing the flames of the explosion, Lu Chenyuan quickly abandoned the car and ran towards this side desperately. The giant panda that appeared out of nowhere also rushed towards the explosion site.
But it was too late, Jiang Zihan had already felt the faint fluctuations.
She shouted at the Monkey King, "Run!" and let go decisively, escaping from the danger zone a second before the explosion.
She tried her best to adjust her body in mid-air, stretching her whole body into a bow shape, trying to protect the vital parts of her body as much as possible.
At this critical moment, a sharp scream suddenly pierced the night sky.
