Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052: The Escapee from the Experiment

The experimental base was completely exposed. The players within were clearly visible to those outside, including Xu Huo and Chi Minghong, who had taken Lu Huizhi hostage.

At this moment, Xu Huo saw that a high-level player had joined the government faction opposing the Holy Sword Society, and it was clear that it was he who had moved the building.

The opponent did not care about leaking or destroying experimental data and escaping test subjects, looking down from above and commanding: "Anyone who steps out of the energy plant’s bounds is to be executed without mercy!"

As soon as his voice fell, another batch of government players surrounded the energy plant, outnumbering the Holy Sword Society and putting them at a disadvantage, while also beginning to massively harvest Holy Sword Society players!

Within just two minutes, the Holy Sword Society was on the losing side, including a Rank-B player in a red protective suit, all showing intent to retreat.

Restricted by spatial artifacts, the players could only choose to forcibly breach the defense line, with Xu Huo and Chi Minghong breaking out amidst the Holy Sword Society’s members.

In the core area of District 002, the number of players available to respond was astonishing. The players sealing off the energy plant almost formed a human wall, with nearly one player every ten steps.

Xu Huo and the Holy Sword Society’s members were blocked back twice during their attempts to break out. Whether from the ground or the air, and these players were well-equipped, so much so that even poison gas wouldn’t take immediate effect.

"There are still people crawling through the sewers!" Xu Huo and Chi Minghong retreated into a marginal building of the energy plant when they saw the government players outside the fence pulling out two people, one big and one small, from underground!

The larger one was a young woman, and the smaller appeared to be a child under ten years old, both dressed in laboratory clothes.

As soon as they emerged, the child, who was held in the woman’s arms, attempted to slash at a player’s neck with a fruit knife with lightning speed. Unfortunately, his speed was nothing in the eyes of a player, who easily knocked away his knife and lifted the child into the air by his throat.

"They’re escapees from the laboratory, how should we deal with them..." The player holding them both smirked and asked his companion a few meters away, but before he could finish, his companion’s head was severed in front of his eyes, and his hands were cut off as well!

The player vanished on the spot, while Xu Huo, who had traveled from inside to outside the energy plant through the spiritual world, quickly took the child and passed straight through the space.

Chi Minghong, following behind him, took the woman with her. Although she lacked the super evolution ability to directly avoid damage and pass through the space, she had a speed-boosting prop and good physical strength. She quickly navigated the buildings on both sides of the street while carrying the woman, dodging several attacks with unexpected maneuvers, and increasing the distance from the energy plant.

She soon caught up with Xu Huo, who had deliberately slowed down, "You were the one helping just now, right? Thanks, without your assistance, I guess it would have been hard to escape entirely unscathed."

With Chi Minghong’s speed, her escape route happened to enter the range of Xu Huo’s psychic power, hence she was able to break free so quickly.

"This is R17, right?" She glanced at the expressionless child under Xu Huo’s arm, "He’s alive. I thought those psychopaths in District 002 had tortured him to death."

Xu Huo looked at the woman, and Chi Minghong set her down, "You better run for your life, and best not stay in Snow City any longer. This damned place might look inviting, but it’s worse than those places without any lights."

The woman, tense, said: "I need to take my child with me..."

"Your child?" Chi Minghong pointed at R17, "He’s an orphan."

"No, it’s not," the woman denied, "He was snatched away right after his birth. I only recently found out he was raised by a government office, so I signed up to be a drug test volunteer..."

"No need for more lies." Xu Huo cut her off, "Since you have nowhere to go, come with us for now."

The woman agreed without hesitation and gave the boy a comforting smile.

As for the boy, the test subject known as R17, he made no comment, motionless like a lifeless doll maintaining one pose, completely lacking the readiness he had shown when being pulled up from underground.

Putting on the Invisibility Cloak again, Xu Huo and his companion prepared to return to the Snow White Villa.

But by the time they arrived, the aircraft and the four people inside had disappeared.

"There are no signs of a fight, they must have left on their own," Chi Minghong said, pausing before adding with a snort, "I was hoping to give that Dong Family brat a good beating."

Seeing no chance to blow off steam, Chi Minghong, with her kind nature, asked the woman where she was planning to stay and offered to take her part of the way if she had the time.

"Anywhere is fine, as long as it’s not Snow City," the woman hastily replied.

Chi Minghong nodded and turned to Xu Huo, "I’ve had my eye on an instance I planned to tackle before leaving. It’s not in Snow City, so I might as well take her with me. What about this kid?"

The woman eagerly replied, "He is the godson I have recognized, and he will follow me. I can support him!"

Chi Minghong made no comment, knowing that R17 was no ordinary child.

Xu Huo looked at the boy, "Do you want to go with her? Think it through before you answer."

Their eyes met, both void of emotion, yet it seemed something else was at stake within their gaze; two seconds later, the boy spoke up, "I don’t know her, I’ll go with you."

The woman was greatly disappointed, and Xu Huo was also a bit let down, but then he heard the boy continue, "I only thought of staying with her because she was easy to deceive, so she could protect me while I escaped. Now that she’s useless, you can do whatever you want with her."

It seemed the woman had developed some genuine feelings for him, and although angry, her expression conveyed more sadness than anything else.

Xu Huo smiled and placed his hand on the boy’s head, "The first thing I’m going to tell you today is not to lie in front of me. Lying won’t change the facts and might even backfire on you."

"You can express your thoughts normally."

The boy showed no reaction, not even to his touch, merely looking up directly into his eyes.

Xu Huo withdrew his hand and then questioned the woman, "Live human experimentation can’t openly recruit trial participants. How did you get into the laboratory?"

The woman instinctively thought to concoct a lie, but meeting his gaze, she immediately abandoned the idea and blurted out, "I was bought!"

Xu Huo nodded, "Do you know a woman named Liao Lian?"

Pointing to the corner of his mouth, he casually fabricated a feature, "She has a mole here."

The woman hesitantly answered, "I’ve met someone named Liao Lian, but she doesn’t have a mole on her face. She’s older than me and was among the first batch of trial participants. She died ten days ago."

"Fuck!" Unable to contain herself, Chi Minghong cursed, "If only we’d come a few days earlier, we might have caught up!"

The woman didn’t know whether to feel joy or sorrow, mumbling, "She really had bad luck..."

Indeed, Xu Huo and Chi Minghong hadn’t been seeking the experimental base for her sake, but by sheer coincidence, she had also been at the New Xiangyang Energy Plant. In the span of those ten days, had she been alive, she could have been reunited with her sister.

But there were no what-ifs.

"Someone’s coming," Xu Huo turned his head to look in the direction of the southwest of the grove.
