After a earth-shaking tremor, the noise outside gradually subsided.
The figures of Zuo Yu and others emerged one after another from the big hole in the wall.
The streets were filled with dust and thick smoke. An armored gorilla wrapped in metal armor was lying on the ground with its body sunk into the ground. Most of the metal armor on its body was shattered, revealing the bleeding flesh under the armor.
Not far away, the little golden giant was walking calmly on the street, stepping on the unconscious body of the beast king lion.
The graceful woman in a suit squatted beside the lion's head, curiously stroking its silky mane, and in her fair and slender right hand she was holding the lifelike black fur.
As for the owner of the fur, he has disappeared at this moment...
As regular footsteps sounded, Kane, dressed in a suit and tie, came to the bottom of the tall building and bowed slightly to Zuo Yu above.
"Boss, it's all solved."
"very good."
Zuo Yu nodded, jumped off the tall building and landed next to Kane.
"Take the lion back and give it to Doctor 13. Leave the gorilla behind and let it take us to the House of Evolution."
"Yes, boss!"
Kane nodded, turned around and did as he was told.
Saitama, Genos, Li Yun and Gu Changwen also jumped down and landed next to Zuo Yu.
"Doctor 13?"
Li Yun transmitted the message with some surprise.
Zuo Yu smiled and replied, "He is the scientist you and Boss Lin captured. The Nine-Tailed Fox Squad brainwashed him. Now he only remembers that he is the 13th doctor of Kunlun Group and has forgotten his past as an evil villain."
"I see."
Li Yun nodded in understanding.
At the same time, Genos and Gu Changwen looked ahead silently.
The former was shocked by the powerful strength of the three members of Yinglong Team, while the latter was measuring the gap between himself and the Beast King Lion, trying to figure out where his current strength stands in the world of One Punch Man.
Among the five, only Saitama still maintained that smile of a strong man.
Soon, the three members of the Yinglong team began to act according to Zuo Yu's instructions.
The golden-skinned giant stretched out his right arm, grabbed the head of the beast king lion, held it in his palm, turned around, and walked towards the end of the street carrying the lion's body.
At the same time, the woman in the suit also came to the unconscious armored gorilla.
The crystal-clear jade fingers touched the metal armor, and then with the sound of metal twisting and creaking, they easily grabbed his shoulders and dragged the body weighing several tons towards Zuo Yu.
"boom--"
The heavily armored gorilla was thrown in front of everyone.
Kane and the woman in the suit walked behind Zuo Yu, consciously playing the roles of the boss's younger brothers.
Genos glanced at them, then turned to look at the armored gorilla leaning against the wall. The black and gold mechanical prosthetic eye lit up red, scanning the armored gorilla's vital signs.
"Vital signs are stable...brain wave frequency is active..."
"He's pretending to be unconscious!"
Genos made a quick judgment, then suddenly raised his right arm and aimed the palm incinerator at the gorilla's head.
"I'll give you five seconds to open your eyes and answer my question, otherwise..."
A hint of coldness appeared on Genos' face, and the incineration cannon on his palm lit up with a golden-red light, raising the air in front of him to a scorching level.
Faced with Genos' threat, the armored gorilla still lay there without any reaction, and seemed to be really in a coma.
But when Genos counted from five to two without hesitation, the seemingly unconscious armored gorilla suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the metal cyborg in front of him with anger and helplessness.
"…What do you want to ask?"
A sound that kept pausing like a machine came out of the gorilla's mouth.
Genos immediately sneered: "You are really pretending to be unconscious... Tell me who you are!"
The armored gorilla looked at Zuo Yu and the two people behind him with fear, then turned to look at Genos and said in a deep voice: "I am the brainchild of the House of Evolution, the armored gorilla."
"I came here only for the bald human next to you. It has nothing to do with you."
"I advise you not to make an enemy of the House of Evolution. My strength is only ranked third in the House of Evolution. Although you can defeat me, you will never be able to defeat the second-ranked Beast King and the first..."
"Beast King?"
Zuo Yu pointed at the beast king lion who was being carried like a dead dog by the little golden giant at the end of the street, and said with a half-smile, "Are you referring to the big orange cat with thick hair?"
“…”
The armored gorilla mechanically turned his head and glanced at the end of the street, then looked at the people in front of him with a serious expression.
The next second, the armored gorilla's face suddenly changed, and he begged for mercy without hesitation: "I was wrong, I confess everything, spare my life!"
“…”
Although they already knew the armored gorilla's personality, Zuo Yu and the other two still couldn't help laughing when they saw how quickly his expression changed.
Saitama was speechless and said, "Weren't you only able to speak one word at a time just now?"
The gorilla apologized sincerely: "I'm so sorry, I was just pretending. I thought it was cooler to talk like that."
"Okay." Zuo Yu stepped forward with a smile, "Let him talk about the House of Evolution first!"
The armored gorilla's eyes swept across the faces of the people in front of him, and then quickly locked onto Zuo Yu, who was obviously the leader, and began to slowly tell him what he knew about the House of Evolution.
To put it simply, there was once a genius scientist who was full of honors. Because his ambition was to make humans evolve at the genetic level, he was denied and ridiculed by the outside world, but he was not reconciled to this, so he started his own research.
It was not until he was 70 years old that the genius scientist made a qualitative breakthrough in his genetic experiments.
He first restored his own youth, then cloned many copies of himself, and then conducted experiments and research with these clones, eventually establishing an underground research institute called the House of Evolution.
Through genetic experiments, they created many sub-human species.
For example, the armored gorilla, the beast king lion, the blood-sucking mosquito girl, and those strange creatures with various abilities, etc., are all masterpieces of the House of Evolution over the years.
Until yesterday, Saitama easily defeated Mosquito Girl with overwhelming strength. The genius scientist received the images that Mosquito Girl saw before her death, so he became interested in Saitama and sent Armored Gorilla, Beast King Lion and others to capture him.
Hearing the armored gorilla's description, Genos nodded thoughtfully.
"I see... Now that I think about it, I seem to have heard rumors about the House of Evolution before. It's a religious group that advocates the arrival of a new world and is extremely xenophobic."
"But now it seems that they are more than just a religious group."
"Nonsense!" Saitama rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you hear? Clones and genetic experiments!"
Zuo Yu next to him raised his hand and said, "Let me correct you. Genetic experiments are actually nothing. Our Kunlun Group is also doing genetic experiments, but our genetic experiments are all legal and compliant, and we will never conduct human experiments before meeting the legal standards."
As he spoke, Zuo Yu looked at the armored gorilla with a smile.
"But judging by his appearance, the House of Evolution must have conducted a lot of illegal human experiments, right?"
Genos nodded and said, "That is to say, the House of Evolution is indeed interested in the teacher's body as Mr. Zuo thought."
Saitama glanced at him with a frown on his face: "Hey, I'm not interested in men."
Genos shook his head: "Teacher, you misunderstood, they want to use your overly powerful body for experiments..."
Saitama blinked his eyes: "Is that so?"
Zuo Yu patted Saitama's shoulder with his big hand and said with a smile: "So, we have to take the initiative this time - Gorilla, tell us the address of the House of Evolution!"
“…”
Facing Zuo Yu's half-smile, the armored gorilla swallowed his saliva and quickly gave out the address.
Everyone wrote down the address and were about to turn around and leave when Genos suddenly raised his arm again.
"One last question..."
Genos lit up the incinerator on his palm, looked at the gorilla coldly and said, "Has the House of Evolution already started developing cyborgs four years ago? Besides you, how many cyborgs are there?"
"Have you ever received orders to destroy a town in the past?"
After hearing what Genos said, everyone understood that he suspected that the House of Evolution was the mastermind behind the destruction of his hometown.
Although the Armored Gorilla didn't know the reason, when he saw the coldness in Genos' eyes, he knew that the problem was serious.
So he shook his head and said sincerely: "For the first question, I don't know, but what I do know is that I am the only combat-type cyborg in the House of Evolution."
System detection...didn't lie.
Genos fell silent and slowly lowered his arms.
Just as the armored gorilla breathed a sigh of relief, Saitama next to him suddenly raised his fist.
"Bang——"
The armored gorilla rolled his eyes and passed out without a sound.
Genos was stunned for a moment: "Teacher, he has already admitted it."
"I know, but he said I was bald."
"But you are bald."
"...Genos, do you want to be beaten too?"
…
…
House of Evolution, inside the underground research institute.
The genius scientist Dr. Kinos stared at the screen in front of him in shock.
"Mantis Curie, Frog Man, Slug, Earth Dragon, Armored Gorilla, and Beast King..."
"The most elite combat corps of the House of Evolution was completely wiped out!"
Hearing his words, dozens of clones in the room all looked solemn.
"Based on what the armored gorilla saw before he fell into a coma, there should be eight people on the other side, and each of them has a high-energy reaction."
"And, according to the last message from the Armored Gorilla, they plan to attack here."
"If they really come, all our long-term research results may be destroyed."
"This is a major crisis!"
The clones looked solemn and talked among themselves.
Dr. Kinos suddenly slammed the table and said with a heavy face: "At this point, we can only use our trump card!"
"You... prepare to release the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle!"
