110: Wang family old patriarch

"What's wrong?" Qiu Jie asked.

"Shh..." Xu Jingzhe hushed her, and at the same time, activated the surrounding scene simulation, causing the two of them to blend into the wall.

"Patter, patter."

The sound drew closer and closer, yet no figure appeared.

"Patter, patter."

"Patter, patter."

Xu Jingzhe and Qiu Jie's hearts tightened, and they held their breath.

"Patter, patter."

The sound echoed right beside their ears, then suddenly vanished.

In the haze, it seemed as if a figure was pressed against that spot, sniffing incessantly.

The footsteps started again, "Patter, patter," gradually moving away.

Xu Jingzhe and Qiu Jie breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. What kind of person was this? An invisible person?

Such a terrifying ability?

Suddenly, a gust of wind struck, and neither Xu Jingzhe nor Qiu Jie could react in time.

"Thud!"

Qiu Jie was struck in the abdomen and sent flying on the spot, slamming into the wall with a loud crash. Her body went beyond the range of the scene simulation and was instantly revealed.

Xu Jingzhe was shocked and said, "Did you cancel the scene simulation?"

System: "Ding, no."

"Then how did he discover us?"

System: "Unknown."

"Patter, patter, patter." The footsteps became rapid, clearly running toward Qiu Jie.

Xu Jingzhe stepped on the wall, shifted his body to the side, and reached Qiu Jie, helping her up. The scene simulation covered Qiu Jie again, making her indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.

"Bang!"

However, Qiu Jie was struck again, her body curling up like a shrimp as she spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering the floor.

Xu Jingzhe held Qiu Jie and retreated again and again, listening to the sounds to determine the position.

But if this dragged on, it would definitely attract more people, and they wouldn't be able to escape then.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

"Patter, patter, patter!"

Fist marks appeared one after another on the wall, and Xu Jingzhe was nearly struck himself.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

"Stop bothering me!"

Xu Jingzhe was impatient; the little snake had wrapped around his neck, hissing incessantly in his ear.

System: "Ding, Medusa says he is two meters to your right, raising his fist to strike."

Xu Jingzhe was stunned, then rolled to dodge, remembering that some snakes used temperature to hunt prey.

He held Qiu Jie with his left hand and, with his right hand, swung the Black Gold Long Saber in a diagonal slash.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream rang out, blood gushed, and the person revealed his form, rolling on the ground.

The long saber flashed again, and Xu Jingzhe severed his head, ending the crisis.

However, he heard more footsteps rushing toward them.

"Qiu Jie, are you okay?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

"Damn it, when has this lady ever suffered such a loss?" Qiu Jie wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and cursed: "The bastard, he just had to have an invisibility ability; he must be a pervert!"

Xu Jingzhe cancelled the scene simulation, and the two stood side by side.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

System: "Ding, she says the reason Qiu Jie was discovered was because of the scent on her clothes; the man had a sensitive nose and identified Qiu Jie's position based on the scent."

Xu Jingzhe glanced at Qiu Jie with a strange look; it was just as Qiu Jie said, this man really was a pervert.

"Click!"

"Click!"

A row of fully armed soldiers arrived in the corridor, aiming at Xu Jingzhe and Qiu Jie.

One of them made a gesture, and bullets came whizzing over.

Xu Jingzhe swung the long saber in his hand; the first bullet was split in two by him, followed by the second and the third.

Because the speed was too fast, only the afterimage of the long saber in the air could be seen.

The first wave of shooting ended, and seeing that neither of them was hurt, the man made another gesture.

Several smoke grenades, tear gas, and anesthetic gas canisters were thrown out. Instantly, the corridor was shrouded in smoke, pungent and foul-smelling.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Qiu Jie covered her nose and coughed loudly, her head feeling faintly dizzy.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

System: "Ding, Medusa says this anesthetic gas was developed specifically for ability users; they must leave here quickly, and she knows of a safe place."

"Qiu Jie, go through the wall!" Xu Jingzhe said, wrapping his arm around Qiu Jie.

Qiu Jie activated her ability, the air rippled, and the two vanished instantly.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

Passing through the wall again!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

Qiu Jie's nose began to bleed. This Bacterial Experiment Base was mostly built of alloy, not ordinary walls, and the energy Qiu Jie consumed was several times more than usual.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

"Boom~"

This time, the two appeared in a spacious room. The room was clean and tidy. In the very center, a hibernation pod was placed. Above the hibernation pod was a piece of technological equipment, with various data silently jumping on the display screen. Furthermore, in front of the hibernation pod, hundreds of beds were arranged.

On each bed lay a naked, sturdy man. Without exception, a transparent tube was inserted into each man's arm, containing a red substance, and they seemed to be in a deep sleep.

"Where is this?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

System: "Ding, the Wang family's most important secret; apart from Wang Tai and a few family members, no one can enter."

The little snake climbed down from Xu Jingzhe's neck, slithered quickly, and arrived above the hibernation pod. Looking at a man inside the hibernation pod, its eyes were full of resentment and malice.

Ignoring the pain, she slammed her triangular head against the glass of the hibernation pod, wanting to break it.

Xu Jingzhe grabbed her and said, "What are you doing? What if you trigger an alarm?!"

The little snake turned its head to look at Xu Jingzhe, making a hissing sound.

Qiu Jie also walked over, clutching her chest, looking at everything in the room with great curiosity.

System: "Ding, she says the one lying in this hibernation pod is Old Master Wang, and the two have a blood feud. The reason she was imprisoned here is that the Wang family was extracting the hibernation genes from her body to achieve a brief 'immortality' for the old man."

Only then did Xu Jingzhe look into the hibernation pod. An old man with a kind face lay inside, half of his body submerged in a blue liquid. The blue liquid flowed silently, shimmering with starlight.

He knew that was Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid.

On both sides of the hibernation pod, pigeon-egg-sized energy stones were embedded, and the soft light they emitted enveloped the old man.

"Qiu Jie, do you recognize this person?"

Qiu Jie was still rubbing her chest, leaned her head over, and said in shock: "Old Master Wang!"

"Wasn't it said that his lifespan was up and he was dead? He's actually not dead yet!"

"You know him?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

"Of course, my family... I was once fortunate enough to watch a documentary about Old Master Wang. The reason the Wang family was able to establish a firm foothold in Su City was all thanks to this old master."

"At his peak, the old master's strength suppressed Contaminants for thirty years, intimidating a generation."

"But looking at this situation..." Qiu Jie walked to the side of a sturdy man and, following the path of the transparent tubes, said in horror: "He is performing a blood transfusion, trying to defy heaven and change his fate!"
