Chapter 82.1
The originally pitch-black secret room suddenly lit up the moment someone entered it, the crystal chandelier above illuminating the entire space, making it as bright as daylight and allowing everyone to see the scene inside clearly.
The smell of disinfectant masked the scent of blood in the room, where rows of circular glass containers, each about 2 meters high, were neatly arranged in the vast space.
Inside, they were filled with a translucent liquid and various experimental subjects in different stages of deformation—many of which had become so grotesquely distorted that they no longer resembled humans.
It seems this was the true experimental base of the Yuan family. The lab on the top floor was just a facade.
Gu Yuanzhao ordered one of the officers to keep a close watch on Yuan Hao, then shielded Bai Jing behind him as he walked along the central row of glass containers.
While another officer released several flying recording devices, capturing the Yuan family’s crimes as evidence diligently.
Bai Jing gripped the energy gun in his hand tightly, pushing his sense perception to its limit.
Many of the experimental subjects here were already dead, likely unable to withstand the violent genes of the alien beasts or the agony of mutation under intense cosmic radiation, leaving their bodies completely devoid of vitality.
Bai Jing’s teal colored eyes flashed with a piercing cold light—the Yuan family simply deserved to die!
To think they had captured so many people for experiments. What’s more these were likely just the most recent subjects- who knew how many lives had been lost over the years?
As they moved forward, Bai Jing sensed several faint breaths. However unfortunately……
The moment the last signs of life vanished completely, he closed his eyes gently, his heart filled with a silent resignation—he couldn’t save them.
Only, where exactly was that zombie crystal core he had sensed just now?
Judging by the direction, it should be to their left and behind them.
He glanced in that direction out of the corner of his eye, just in time to see one of the experimental subjects inside one of the glass containers open its eyes!
Then with a ‘crash’, the glass container was shattered by the zombie’s sharp claws, and the liquid inside spilled all over the floor.
“Be careful! Don’t let it bite or scratch you!” Bai Jing warned, raising the energy gun in his hand as the zombie lunged toward them at breakneck speed.
With a loud ‘bang’, the bullet grazed through the zombie’s chest and abdomen, leaving a gaping hole due to its incredible speed.
However, this level four zombie seemed to have been fused with some alien beast genes, as its wound healed quickly. And then saliva dripping from its mouth, it suddenly appeared right in front of Bai Jing!
This human smelled so good!
Bai Jing rolled to the ground and pulled the trigger, however the level four zombie dodged with agility.
However, Bai Jing had already anticipated its movement— because a second bullet followed immediately, piercing straight through its head.
“Boom—”
The air bullet exploded within the zombie’s head, scattering pieces of flesh and blood across the ground, and along with these pieces, rolled a white crystal core to the floor.
However to Bai Jing’s surprise, the zombie’s body continued to move even after it had lost its head. Its sharp claws aimed directly at his face, only for it to be intercepted with swift like movements by Gu Yuanzhao, who severed the wrist with his alloy sword.
“Ah Jing, are you okay?”
“En, I’m fine.”
He just hadn’t expected that the zombie would become even harder to deal with after it had been fused with the genes of an alien beast. It seems, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
However following this, the glass containers around them shattered one after the other, and then over twenty zombies surrounded them from all directions.
These zombies exhibited various mutations: some had sharp fangs, others had arms that were twice their original size, while some even sported tails that were as sharp as steel needles.
Moreover, when they roared, they emitted soundwaves that were infused with mental power attacks, causing the two officers to collapse in pain, blood seeping from their eardrums.
Gu Yuanzhao positioned himself not far in front of Bai Jing, his alloy sword gleaming coldly as he beheaded a zombie with a single slash swiftly, while kicking away another that lunged at him from behind at the same time.
Bai Jing shot a zombie that was charging toward him in the head, then fired a few more rounds to ensure it was down hurriedly.
Then out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a zombie moving at an incredibly fast speed, trying to bite one of the officers who had come with them. He immediately turned his gun and pulled the trigger, however the zombie dodged it cunningly!
This particular zombie had gray bone wings sprouting from its back, allowing it to nimbly change angles mid-air as it continued to charge with its disgusting mouth wide open.
There wasn’t enough time—
The hatred and regret in Bai Jing’s heart reached its peak, and in that instant, thin white threads of his mental power suddenly shot out from within him, piercing straight into the zombie’s brainstem!
‘Stop, stop right now!’
And as if obeying Bai Jing’s command, the level four zombie froze in place as if a pause button had been pressed, its mouth still gaping wide open, but with it unable to move forward even an inch.
Mental control!
Bai Jing had unintentionally mastered mental control!
Even though the zombie only had the two instincts which were —attack and feed— left, Bai Jing had still been able to make it suppress those instincts and stop its actions.
This was nothing short of a miracle!
—However with the threat of death looming over him, the officer swung his dagger immediately and severed the head of the zombie, then turned to look at Bai Jing with gratitude in his eyes.
