Chapter 147 Assault Team "Who gave you permission to threaten me?"...
Yan Jue was trembling.
Not only my shoulders and fingertips, but even my breathing felt like it was being cut off by an unknown force, becoming fragmented.
Sweat trickled down his temples. He tried to suppress the trembling, but the more he tried, the more he shook, as if he were tightly bound by invisible threads, robbing him of his last remaining sense of control.
Sang Li lowered her eyes and looked at him quietly, her gaze calm to the point of being cruel.
There was no panic, no pity, not even a hint of interest, as if looking down from afar.
It was a detached gaze, like a god sitting on a high throne, scrutinizing a mortal who was struggling in pain and remained humble.
She rarely showed such an aloof expression.
After a moment of silence, she smiled.
A gentle smile slowly curved her lips: "I know you can nullify anything."
The voice was low and slow, like a priest reciting an irresistible prayer.
“But,” she paused slightly, her gaze narrowing, “the active liquid inside the chip should still retain some of its abnormal abilities, right? Although I don’t know how Qian Rujun placed it inside you, that’s enough for me to use.”
Yan Jue suddenly looked up, his breathing short, as if he wanted to say something.
But his throat became hoarse.
Sang Li bent down and stroked his trembling back gently.
The force in his hand was so gentle it was almost tender, yet it suddenly terrified Yan Jue, as if he were being pushed step by step into an abyss.
Her fingertips slowly traced his spine, each touch seemingly striking the deepest nerves within him.
My heart was being toyed with, pounding all the way.
"Yan Jue," she whispered close to his ear, her breath warm, each word trembling, not like a judgment, but like a lover's whisper, "Even if you don't love me..."
Her lips almost brushed against his earlobe.
"There are many people who love me."
The status has been reversed.
He became a trapped beast, trembling and out of control, while she was the sovereign above, whose touch could destroy his last shred of pride.
Yan Jue's pupils suddenly contracted.
A dull pain exploded from deep within the skull, like thousands of tiny needles piercing the brain simultaneously, burning the nerves and ripping at reason.
He tried to lift his head, but only managed halfway before his body bent uncontrollably, like a wild beast forced to bend.
His breathing was rapid, and he growled in a low voice, the trembling of his chest like the broken cry of a beast. His fingertips gripped the fabric tightly, and sweat scalded his back, burning hot. He had never been so disheveled in his life.
In the end, Yan Jue was forced to kneel on the ground, pinned to the spot by the pain.
The chip and the abnormal energy within his body are in conflict.
Sang Li's eyes remained completely calm.
She slowly squatted down, as if examining a small pet, her smile beautifully cold: "You and your brother can relate, right?"
Return those words to him verbatim.
Her fingers hooked his chin.
Yan Jue was very beautiful, her face was pale from the pain, and her eyes burned with stubborn anger.
But in her eyes, this anger was nothing more than a struggle pushed to the limit.
Sang Li leaned closer to him, her breath barely audible: "Who told you to threaten me?"
Her voice was beautiful, like an angel's, yet it looked down upon all his pain and resistance.
***
at the same time.
The piercing alarm sirens echoed through the night sky, like the roar of an invisible behemoth.
The first BEAM team arrived at the perimeter of the abandoned experimental area.
The night wind howled, and the searchlight of the helicopter pierced the darkness, landing on the exterior walls of dilapidated buildings.
"Reporting to command, we have arrived at the target area."
They came after tracking Lu Jin's signal to arrest him.
The captain reported in a low voice. Although there was no hesitation in his voice, everyone sensed that something was wrong.
Everyone was on high alert, unlike their other missions.
The magnetic field detector beeped incessantly, and the pointer jumped wildly, as if it had gone out of control.
Visible fluctuations floated in the air above the entire experimental area, as if the air was being constantly twisted and crumpled, even blurring the starlight.
“Magnetic field disorder.” The technician’s voice was strained. “It’s unusually strong. Something is releasing energy.”
"There's a smell of rust around here." Another team member looked around warily.
Yu Qi, Tang Lan, and Zhou Fangyang are also on the list.
The assault team quickly assembled.
The night wind howled, and searchlights swept across the building's exterior walls. The slightly mottled cracks looked particularly eerie in the light and shadow, as if something was seeping out.
Yu Qi raised his hand, signaling the team members to move closer to the main building.
Tang Lan followed closely behind, her brows furrowed: "Yu Qi, are you sure this is the place? Isn't this an abandoned area? The new district has already been built to the south. Could there be anyone here?"
This is an experimental building complex, but their target area has been abandoned for a long time.
Yu Qi: "According to the records, this was Professor Olga's laboratory at BEAM back then, but it has been sealed off due to a reagent leak. Logically speaking, no one should have stepped into it after all these years."
Zhou Fangyang quickly operated the portable terminal, adding, "But the magnetic field reaction here doesn't seem like it's abandoned; it seems more like it's in operation."
They arrived at the main building's main entrance and tried to unlock it using BEAM's universal password.
"Incorrect input".
"Incorrect input".
"Incorrect input".
The cold, mechanical prompts rang out again and again.
"How could this be?" Tang Lan frowned, having tried several times but still unable to enter.
Yu Qi's eyes darkened, and he decisively ordered, "Break down the door."
The heavy-duty cutter started up, sparks flew, and a crack was torn open in the heavy door with a roar.
The air rushed out, as cold as if it were blowing from an ice cellar.
However, what they saw was not the ruins and dust they had expected.
A bright, clean, and brand-new corridor.
The pristine white walls gleamed with a metallic sheen, and highly intelligent sensor screens automatically lit up, displaying complex data streams. The footsteps of the assault team echoed through the laboratory corridor, their echoes reverberating in the empty space.
Tang Lan walked slowly, observing her surroundings, clenching her fists, and whispered, "Sang Li wouldn't have been... captured and brought here, would she?"
Yu Qi turned her head, her gaze icy: "Don't talk nonsense."
But her eyes already betrayed a hint of unease.
So many things have happened recently, and they're all so outrageous.
It forces everyone to resort to conspiracy theories.
The further you walk down the corridor, the more pungent the smell becomes.
The pungent smell of disinfectant mingled with a faint, almost imperceptible odor of blood, making one's throat tighten.
Yu Qi pushed open another heavy alloy door, and the lights instantly turned on.
"Holy crap!" Tang Lan's eyes widened.
Rows upon rows of petri dishes stood silently, their transparent containers holding bizarre tissue samples: human eyeballs, unidentified organs, and pale limbs. Further away, in several enormous culture chambers, complete human bodies were submerged, tightly secured by tubing and instruments, their faces obscured by masks, only their slightly twitching torsos visible.
Tang Lan gasped, her voice trembling: "This...this is human experimentation."
Zhou Fangyang's face was deathly pale, and his Adam's apple bobbed as he was unable to speak.
The experimental records projected on the wall are still flickering.
[Experiment Subject: Failed.]
[Experimental subject: Anomalous body fragment retention rate 27%.]
[Experimental subjects: those whose survival time was less than 48 hours.]
"My God!" Tang Lan murmured, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
What is this happening?!
Yu Qi's face was ashen as she lowered her voice and said, "Maintain formation. Everyone, do not separate."
However, at this moment, Qian Rujun, who was far away in the monitoring room, had already seen everything through the holographic projection.
On the screen, dozens of fully armed figures were storming into the secret experimental zone he had painstakingly built up over the years.
Qian Rujun's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes.
This area has long been sealed off from the outside world, and all information has been erased; even no one inside BEAM knows about it.
Someone has informed us?
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he pressed the red emergency command button.
If so many people come in, then my secret will be exposed.
No one can leave!
"Now that you've barged in, don't even think about getting out."
The lights on the monitor screen turned red one by one, and the area lockdown alarm suddenly sounded.
The heavy alloy door fell from above, completely sealing off the entire experimental area.
This secret must never be taken out of the public.
I'd rather they all die here than destroy the culmination of twenty years of my hard work.
He watched the increasingly chaotic scene on the screen: "Corpses can also be used for experiments."
Bloomberg felt that the person in front of him was too terrifying.
What's this?
That's true betrayal!
at the same time.
A piercing buzzing sound suddenly exploded overhead.
The indicator lights on both sides of the corridor turned scarlet instantly, spreading out like veins.
The heavy alloy door fell from the ceiling and slammed hard onto the ground.
The area was completely locked down.
Tang Lan instinctively raised her gun: "Someone's controlling this? What does that mean?!"
Yu Qi's face darkened: "We're trapped."
The red lights cast shadows on everyone's faces, and the smell of disinfectant in the air began to be replaced by another, more pungent odor.
Zhou Fangyang looked around: "Did you hear that?"
Deep inside the laboratory, a very faint thumping sound came from the culture chamber, as if something was tapping on the transparent wall.
Everyone turned to look.
In the transparent liquid, the experimental subject, which had been floating quietly, began to twitch, then throb, and finally began to crash violently.
The sounds rose and fell, spreading from one incubation chamber to the entire area.
In the monitoring room, Qian Rujun looked at the screen with a cold smile in his eyes.
"very good."
He muttered to himself, as if speaking to the test subjects: "Your new toys have arrived. Keep them all."
This is your moment to prove your worth.
Yu Qi stared at the nearest petri dish. The creature inside had no fixed shape; its limbs resembled a human's, but its head was twisted like an unfinished clay sculpture. Its skin looked as if it had been soaked in acid, swollen and pale, with blood vessels writhing haphazardly beneath it.
Zhou Fangyang's Adam's apple bobbed: "What exactly is this thing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blurry "human shape" in the petri dish suddenly twitched.
Then, as if given a unified command, all the dormant experimental subjects in the containers began to wriggle.
Countless hands emerged from the depths of the liquid, their twisted knuckles tapping against the glass, producing a low, sticky vibration.
Tang Lan's expression changed completely.
Because he could clearly see that the corners of those monsters' mouths were twitching.
It's like it's trying to laugh like a human.
"Step back!"
Yu Qi growled, but it was too late.
This is not any kind of anomaly they recognize!
"Fire!"
Flames shot out from the muzzle of the gun.
The bullets whistled through several culture chambers, shattering glass and viscous liquid as they spilled out.
However, the test subjects who were hit did not fall down.
Their bodies healed rapidly after being pierced by bullets, the wounds bubbling with black foam, and closed again within seconds.
What exactly is it...?
What kind of experiment is being conducted here?
The other commandos who followed were also terrified.
Tang Lan aimed at the test subject's head and pulled the trigger. The bullet pierced the skull, and blood splattered. The test subject only paused slightly, and the pupils of its eyes turned crimson as if they had been ignited. The next second, it suddenly pounced!
The heavy body collided violently with the tactical shield, and the team member was thrown over. His screams were instantly drowned out by the bloody roar.
