As she was walking forward, Lin Yiran suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She stopped and sniffed carefully, then frowned and asked Lin Zaifei, "Can you smell anything?"
Lin Zaifei: "What's wrong?" He also sniffed carefully for a moment, and after figuring something out, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
Before she could even utter the word "Oh no!", Lin Yiran felt a scorching heat rush towards her. As she pushed her brother away, she flipped backward and staggered back more than ten meters. When she landed on the ground, she looked up.
Then a huge fireball came hurtling towards us!
The shadow of the fireball magnified in her pupils. She froze for a second, then heard her second brother's voice beside her: "Be careful!" She then saw him immediately summon his mecha to block her way. Her second brother made her stumble, and only then did Lin Yiran come to her senses.
The two of them fell to the ground, and the fireball flew towards the patrol team that was chasing after them. In an instant, Lin Yiran heard some people shouting.
They wouldn't even save their own people, that's ruthless!
Lin Yiran stood up and summoned several shields from the law enforcement team, forming a protective circle around her. The shields were fireproof and heat-resistant, which could protect her from some damage.
Lin Zaifei, who was standing to the side, was stunned when he stood up.
However, after realizing what had happened, he looked at the person opposite him and his expression suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "It really is him! That old madman!" He cursed.
Lin Yiran: "What?" "Who exactly is he?" Before she could say two words, the old madman got down on all fours, leaped up, and pounced directly in Lin Yiran's direction.
Lin Zaifei donned his mecha suit, flew up, and kicked the old madman, sending him flying more than ten meters away. Taking advantage of this moment, he grabbed Lin Yiran's arm and ran outside.
The patrol team behind them reacted and opened fire, but Lin Yiran's superpower blocked them all. The bullets stopped in mid-air and then returned to their original paths, hitting them in the head.
They also dealt with a lot of patrolmen.
The two of them walked through one door after another, running towards the outside of the laboratory.
During the incident, Lin Yiran stumbled and almost got caught by the old madman. Lin Zaifei blocked the attack for her, but after a few rounds, Lin Zaifei was also exhausted.
He was a geneticist, mainly engaged in mental work, and his mental strength was only S-level. It was already quite remarkable that he could hold out for so long, not to mention that the person opposite him was an old madman whose combat power was exceptionally strong.
Lin Yiran stepped forward to help Lin Zaifei. Finally, after overcoming numerous difficulties, the two arrived at the outer edge of the Forest of Hope. The patrol teams could no longer enter, but this also meant that Lin Zaifei could no longer use the mecha frequently.
Otherwise, his mental energy would be depleted very quickly.
Lin Yiran decisively exchanged a large amount of potions from her spatial storage for him. "These are potions to restore mental strength. Drink them first to prevent that old madman from attacking you later."
Lin Zaifei: 'Where did you get this?'
"Stop asking so many questions, let's hurry up and leave. We've only shaken off that group, but the old madman is still around. We'd have a hard time dealing with him alone."
The two then stopped dawdling and, while continuing their journey, told Lin Yiran about the origins of the old madman.
"I don't really know who this person is, but according to the genetic data I peeked at, his genes are somewhat different from ours."
“His genes contain a substance that has never appeared in interstellar space before. This substance is very peculiar, and I estimate that it is the source of that person’s superpower. I haven’t done a specific test on yours yet, but I’ll check it for you later.” Lin Zaifei finished the mental energy recovery potion in one gulp, and only then did he feel warm all over. The fatigue from before was swept away, and he felt like he had come back to life.
Lin Yiran: "Has this person always had this ability?" she asked.
Lin Zaifei: "You mean that big fireball? That is indeed something he has always had. It's his special ability to manipulate any flame at will. He can breathe fire from his palm, and the flames stick to people and won't come off. It's a very magical thing. Moreover, he has been in this laboratory for a long time and is a key figure in this laboratory. I think Professor Zhou respects him very much."
“I even doubted whether he was the real founder of this laboratory.”
"The lab's research project is the development of abnormal human abilities. Once someone with superpowers like you is discovered, they will be captured and brought here for experiments. I don't know why, but it's probably for the abilities, since that's something everyone wants."
Lin Yiran then asked, "Since the establishment of this laboratory, how many people with superpowers like me have emerged?"
Lin Zaifei: "The information I reviewed mentions a total of ten people."
Lin Yiran asked in surprise, "So many?"
Lin Zaifei: "That's not all. Do you know how these people died?" He shook his head, looking furious.
“Every time a new person joins the lab, that old madman would impatiently urge us over and over again to hurry up and do the experiments. If we couldn’t, he would hand over the corpses to him to dispose of.”
Lin Yiran: "No wonder?" He probably wants the crystal core in the body of a superhuman to enhance his own abilities, right?
Lin Yiran has confirmed that the other party is an ability user, and a very powerful fire-type ability user at that, and at a high level, probably around level nine, close to the maximum level.
The reason they were so eager to kill the superhumans was to extract their crystal cores for their own use, in order to enhance their own superhuman abilities.
He just looked really old and scary.
She then asked, "Approximately how old is he?"
Lin Zaifei: "I've seen the information. The last time he appeared was two hundred years ago. What kind of person can live for two hundred years? Even interstellar people can only live to about one hundred and eighty years old. And the video footage I saw showed that he was only a little younger back then than he is now."
"He is between two hundred and three hundred years old."
Lin Yiran frowned: "Has he lived this long?" She hadn't expected that a superhuman could live this long, since she had transmigrated here a long time ago and didn't know the true lifespan of superhumans in that world.
All I know is that people with superpowers have physical abilities several times greater than ordinary people.
"I want to go back and take a look."
Lin Yiran's sudden remark startled Lin Zaifei.
"Why go back?" But he quickly realized, "You want that old madman's personal information, right?"
Only this could move her heart.
Lin Yiran nodded.
