150: Chapter 150 My sister is coming to visit? And she'll be live-streaming the whole thing?
"My sister?"
Chen Yuan was stunned.
The demon king, who had just been conceptualizing how to turn the seventh underground level into a living hell, now had an expression frozen like a piece of dried, low-quality cement.
"You're not joking?"
Chen Yuan grabbed Victor's tie, pulling it so hard he nearly strangled the 200-plus-pound fat man to death. "Isn't she attending university back home? Why would she come to America!"
"B-Boss, I'm really not joking!"
Victor's face turned beet red as he struggled, desperately slapping Chen Yuan's arm while holding the tablet computer high.
"See for yourself! Not only is she here, she's also livestreaming!"
Chen Yuan abruptly let go and snatched the tablet.
On the screen was the interface of the most popular livestreaming platform in the country.
The popularity value in the upper right corner was skyrocketing, and the bullet comments were scrolling past so densely they almost covered the entire screen.
And right in the center of the screen.
A young girl wearing a white down jacket with her hair in a high ponytail was holding a selfie stick, smiling at the camera with her eyes curved into crescents.
That pure and cute face, still carrying a hint of childishness—Chen Yuan would recognize it even if it were turned to ash.
It was none other than his half-sister, the only person in the world who had ever given him warmth: Chen Nuo.
"Hello, fam! It's Nuo Nuo!"
In the video, Chen Nuo was standing in front of an iconic building: the arrivals hall of San Valverde International Airport.
As she cheerfully interacted with the bullet comments, she turned the camera toward the scenery of the US-Mexico border behind her.
"Haven't you all been curious about what my brother does abroad? Today, I'm going to reveal the secret!"
"I heard he opened a huge Veterinary Pharmaceutical Factory here and made a lot of money."
Chen Nuo playfully stuck out her tongue. "I actually snuck out here behind my family's back, planning to give him a huge surprise!"
"Fam, keep those gifts coming! In a bit, I'll show you the legendary corrupt overseas life of a capitalist!"
Looking at the girl on the screen with a smile like a blooming flower.
Then hearing that practiced Streamer tone.
Chen Yuan felt his scalp tingle with a sudden explosion of anxiety.
"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz!"
Just then, the private phone in his pocket vibrated violently, like a death warrant.
Chen Yuan mechanically pulled out his phone.
He looked at the caller ID labeled "Nuo Nuo," and his slender fingers actually began to tremble for the first time.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his racing heart, and pressed the answer button.
"Brother! You picked up!"
As soon as the call connected, Chen Nuo's crisp and cheerful voice came through, carrying a smugness as if she were seeking praise.
"Ta-da! Guess where I am right now?"
Chen Yuan gritted his teeth, trying his best to make his voice sound steady and gentle, like a normal, long-unseen good brother.
"Nuo Nuo, why did you suddenly come abroad?"
"Why didn't you tell me in advance? I could have sent someone to pick you up."
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you in advance!"
Chen Nuo giggled on the other end of the line. "Brother, I'm right outside San Verde Airport."
"I've already hailed a taxi, and the driver says it'll only take half an hour to get to your 'Umbrella' Veterinary Pharmaceutical Factory!"
"Half an hour?!"
Chen Yuan's voice instantly shot up an octave; even during puberty, it had never been this shrill.
"You're already in the car?"
"Yeah, brother, you don't need to go through the trouble of picking me up."
Chen Nuo's tone was full of pride. "I'm livestreaming, and millions of fans are watching."
"Everyone wants to see what a super Veterinary Pharmaceutical Factory that can cure all kinds of animals actually looks like."
"Brother, you have to make me look good!"
"Beep, beep, beep..."
The call was swiftly and decisively hung up.
Chen Yuan held the phone as it emitted the busy tone, his entire body frozen in place as if he had been struck by a Body-Binding Curse.
A cold wind blew from the depths of the underground corridor.
Chen Yuan stiffly turned his head.
His gaze swept bit by bit across this purgatory-like seventh underground level.
To the left.
A four-meter-tall Multi-armed Flesh Mountain was slamming its bone-spike-covered back against the explosion-proof glass, dark red pus and blood flowing down the walls, emitting a nauseating stench.
To the right.
A mutated Licker with no skin and a completely exposed brain was hanging upside down from the ceiling.
Its two-meter-long, barb-covered crimson tongue was flailing wildly in the air, and the dripping slime corroded the alloy floor with a sizzling sound.
Looking further back.
Five hundred T-103 Mass-Produced Tyrants, each two-point-two meters tall with pale, corpse-like faces, stood silently like a black forest of steel, holding heavy machine guns.
Not to mention the mad scientist Dr. Zola nearby, wearing a white lab coat stained with unknown green liquid, his hair like a bird's nest, giggling while holding visceral specimens.
You call this a Veterinary Pharmaceutical Factory?!
This is no Veterinary Pharmaceutical Factory!
If that silly girl livestreams this with her phone...
The image was so 'beautiful' that Chen Yuan didn't dare imagine it.
Millions of viewers watching a real-life version of Resident Evil?
Watching a Tyrant tear a live cow apart? Watching a Licker crawl on the ceiling?
In less than ten minutes.
The Pentagon's nukes would rain down on San Verde like falling dumplings!
The five permanent members of the UN Security Council would surely reach an unprecedented agreement to form a global coalition and uproot his Elysium Manor!
Even the earthworms underground would be pulled out for genetic testing!
"Boss..."
Victor looked at Chen Yuan's constantly changing facial expressions and cautiously approached.
"What should we do now?"
"Should I take some men to intercept the young lady's taxi halfway?"
"Intercept your head!"
Chen Yuan spun around and grabbed Victor's collar, like a furious lion whose tail had been stepped on.
"She's livestreaming! Millions of eyes are watching!"
"If you take a group of mercenaries wearing exoskeletons to intercept her car, are you trying to make sure everyone knows I'm an arms dealer?"
He pushed Victor away and paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously.
Chen Yuan, who usually remained unfazed in a hail of bullets, was now as frantic as an ant on a hot pan.
He feared nothing in heaven or on earth, except his sister's livestreams.
This startling contrast left the nearby Dr. Zola completely dumbfounded.
"Boss, how about I prepare a trace amount of Memory Eraser for her?"
Dr. Zola pushed up his goggles and offered a highly constructive scientific suggestion.
"Get lost!"
"That's my biological sister! If you dare touch her with your poisons, I'll stuff you into a Licker's stomach!"
Chen Yuan roared, scaring Dr. Zola into immediate silence.
Time ticked away, second by second.
Half an hour.
It was only a half-hour drive from the airport to the manor!
Chen Yuan looked at the biological monsters still baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in their cages, his mind racing.
"Listen up! Everyone!"
Chen Yuan spun around and kicked a nearby empty Metal Hibernation Pod, letting out a deafening bang.
"Alice! Victor! Zola!"
His voice echoed through every corner via the underground base's broadcast system, carrying unprecedented urgency and madness.
"From now on, stop all experimental projects! Stop all weapons testing!"
"Anesthetize all those disgusting mutants and stuff them into cryogenic pods! Not a single claw is allowed to be visible!"
"Put suits on those five hundred Tyrants and give them sunglasses!"
"Tell them that from now on, they are the most professional security team! If anyone shows a dead-man face, I'll tear off his mechanical legs!"
"And you, Zola!"
"Change into a clean lab coat! Throw away all those hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys! Pretend to be a proper Veterinary Pharmaceutical R&D Expert!"
The entire underground base instantly went into a frenzy.
Though the alarms didn't sound, the chaotic tension was ten times more terrifying than a full-scale assault by the Navy SEALs.
Chen Yuan rushed to the elevator and frantically pressed the up button.
He turned back to look at his dazed subordinates and let out the most hysterical roar of his life.
"What are you all standing around for!"
"All personnel, Level One Alert!"
