239: Chapter 239 Eve's Arrival? She First Cursed Lin Yuan's Entire Family

The underground footage was still being transmitted.

The third ring of the silver-white device lit up.

The blue crystal core slots burned one after another.

The Jingcheng Team technicians retreated behind the safety line, their faces covered in sweat.

At the very front of the squad, a man was wearing black power armor.

Number on his chest: [Special Operations Division · Unit 1]

He wasn't wearing a helmet, and there was an old scar across the bridge of his nose.

His aura suppressed everyone else. S-rank.

The man raised his hand. "Activate."

A technician's finger trembled, and he almost touched the wrong crystal core slot.

The black-armored captain just glanced at him.

The man immediately knelt down to continue the operation, not daring to stop even though his knees were bruised.

Shadow lowered the camera.

Iron Arm King crouched behind him holding his shield, not daring to breathe.

Inside Tiangong No. 1, Liu Qing recorded in sync.

"Confirmed."

"The device is initializing."

"The fluctuation is similar to when Housekeeper Su uses Dimensional Space."

Underground, the center of the silver-white device split open.

A slit resembling a vertical pupil appeared in mid-air.

Wind poured back in from the slit.

Two technicians lost their footing, their bodies hitting the wall with a dull thud of bones.

The black-armored captain didn't turn back. "Preheat the restraint device."

A technician wailed, "Captain! Save..."

The black-armored captain stared at the rift. "Continue."

Jiang Xiaowan sneered, "The old tradition: sacrifice a teammate, gain boundless power."

The next second, the rift tore open.

A woman fell from mid-air, crashing into the center of the device.

The silver-white shell dented, and electric sparks exploded.

Her long, wet black hair draped over her shoulders, her face pale, and she was wrapped only in a layer of tattered grayish-white fabric.

The moment her features were revealed, the channel went silent.

Wang Ya watched the screen, not speaking.

On Lin Motong's side, she was halfway through her workbook; she hugged her tattered teddy bear tightly. "It does look a bit like her."

Xia Qingqiu looked at the monitor, her pen tip stopping on the paper.

In the footage, that face was seventy percent similar to Wang Ya's.

But Wang Ya possessed a submissiveness ground out by the apocalypse, while she did not.

She looked like she had just woken up from the edge of a blade, her eyes full of wariness.

The woman raised her hand to block the hospital ward's overhead light.

The device shell cracked, and the black-armored captain immediately ordered, "Capture."

Eight restraint pillars fired black chains simultaneously.

The chains coiled toward her wrists, ankles, and neck.

A halo of light emerged around the woman.

The chains slowed down upon touching the halo, as if sinking into mud.

The black-armored captain raised his restraint gun. "Mental Spike."

Bang! A short black spike struck the woman's shoulder.

She let out a muffled groan.

She didn't scream, just looked down at her own blood, as if finally confirming this wasn't a dream.

The halo exploded outward.

Three B-rank Superpower team members' bodies stiffened, and the assist systems in their armor locked in reverse.

Their knees slammed into the ground.

Su Muxue spoke quickly, "Spatial fluctuation, light-type Superpower. At least S+."

Lin Yuan's gaze didn't move. "Keep watching."

The black-armored captain's armor runes lit up; he stepped into the arena, forcing his way against the grayish-white halo.

Half the wires on the ground snapped.

The woman stumbled back, pressing her palm against the device.

Half the wires were ripped away, and the technicians finally panicked.

"The capture array is thirty percent damaged!"

"The spatial rift is unstable!"

The black-armored captain gritted his teeth. "Suppress her!"

A member lunged forward, but as soon as his body touched the grayish-white halo, his entire arm twisted backward.

The scream hit the wall.

Qin Yumo looked at Lin Yuan. "Master."

Lin Yuan stood up. "Move. Destroy the device and the Jingcheng Team together."

Qin Yumo charged out first, and the side door of the emergency building exploded.

She slid down the stair railing, her twin blades skimming the wall to slit the throats of two hidden sentries.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen also stepped into the underground passage, the C-rank crystal core in her hand crumbling into powder.

Time in a section of the corridor stopped, and two restraint rounds hung in mid-air.

She lifted her foot and walked past the warheads.

Wang Ya raised her hand, and the water in the hospital's drainage system all woke up.

Thin threads emerged from the cracks in the floor tiles, coiling around the Jingcheng Team members' ankles.

The water threads tightened, and the three hit the floor with the back of their heads.

Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Shadow darted out from the shadows, cutting the cables of the underground ward.

Iron Arm King charged through the blast door holding his shield. Bang!

The door panel flew into the room, crushing a technician.

Iron Arm King blocked in front of Shadow, enduring a round of gunfire.

Bullets hit the shield, sparks flying wildly; he said in a muffled voice, "Brother Shadow, the way is open."

Shadow said coldly, "Shut up."

Tang Qiqi popped up on the channel, "Flaunting your relationship at a time like this, I'm reporting you."

No one paid her any attention; the underground ward was in chaos.

Qin Yumo cut in from the side, her blade slashing onto the black-armored captain's shoulder armor. Clang!

The shoulder armor cracked; the black-armored captain stepped back half a step, and his expression changed when he saw Lin Yuan walk in.

"Lin Yuan! How dare you interfere with the Adam Project?"

Lin Yuan raised his eyes. "You opened a door on my territory. Did you ask the landlord?"

The black-armored captain roared, the lights on his power armor lighting up.

"You are standing on the opposite side of all humanity!"

The woman looked up amidst the chaotic battle; she saw Wang Ya, and her movements stopped.

Between the broken equipment, two similar faces met.

The pale golden water patterns at the edge of Wang Ya's grayish-white pupils rotated.

A flash of golden light also crossed the woman's eyes.

Lin Motong's voice came through the communicator, "Mom. She has your scent on her."

The black-armored captain seized the opening and lunged at the woman.

Qin Yumo intercepted with her blade, "Your opponent is me."

The first strike split the shoulder armor, the second strike severed the restraint gun, and the third strike slid down against the runes on his chest.

The black-armored captain was forced back, the armor on his chest cracking.

Lin Yuan raised his hand, and the Dimensional Space opened.

Three of the eight core restraint pillars vanished, and the capture array cut off on the spot.

Su Muxue immediately reported, "Mental interference is still present."

The black spike was still stuck in the woman's shoulder, and the grayish-white halo began to flicker erratically.

The cracks in the wall widened; Wang Ya stepped forward, the accumulated water under her feet spreading into a water domain.

Water ripples pressed down around the woman; the fluctuation that was about to spread was pressed back layer by layer.

The woman looked at Wang Ya, but she didn't attack.

The black-armored captain knew the mission had failed and turned to rush toward the emergency exit.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen raised her hand, intending to stop time, but then withdrew it.

If this man happened to be a Player, Qin Yumo would be in trouble later.

Qin Yumo didn't care about that; she chased after him, her blade cutting through the black-armored captain's back armor.

Red hydraulic fluid sprayed onto the wall; the black-armored captain crashed through a thin wall and threw a smoke grenade.

Shadow wanted to pursue, but Lin Yuan spoke, "Don't chase him. He is very strong; don't force him to fight to the death."

The smoke dispersed; only corpses, broken wires, and shattered equipment remained in the underground ward.

A few surviving technicians huddled in the corner; Lin Yuan glanced at them.

"Just leave one who can talk."

Qin Yumo's blade descended, and the corner went quiet.

The last technician knelt in the blood, his pant legs soaked.

The woman stood in the center of the water, the Mental Spike still stuck in her shoulder.

Her gaze shifted from Wang Ya to Lin Yuan, but she didn't speak.

Qin Yumo blocked in front of Lin Yuan; Lin Yuan looked at the face that resembled Wang Ya's.

"Hello Eve, I am Lin Yuan."

The woman frowned, "Fuck off with that Eve shit, your whole family is Eve!"
