Chapter 180: Chapter 157: The Heavily Guarded Laboratory, A Regretless Move Outside the Chessboard (Please Subscribe, Ask for Monthly Pass)

"Hurry, damn it, get in the car and head to Laboratory No. 1. For the next few days, don’t come out if you don’t have to."

Chen Ziwen’s teeth were chattering as he watched the distance to the laboratory complex grow shorter. After getting off the helicopter, he looked back at the city and cursed hoarsely.

"Young Master, we left very quickly and did not delay at all; it’s unlikely anyone will catch up to us."

Chen Ziwen seemed to have weak legs and struggled to reach the car door. A fully armed muscular man beside him frowned deeply and had to support him to hasten their movements.

"They’re all dead, all of them. Eighteen elite fighters lost their life signals almost simultaneously. Even Shadow and Mr. Ren were killed within three minutes..."

Although he couldn’t see anything.

Chen Ziwen only felt a mountainous pressure weighing heavily on his heart.

Previously, he and Ren Changxing had been watching the drama unfold comfortably from the 18th floor of the Xinghe Building, only to witness a horrifying scene.

The development of the incident at the Triumph Hotel did not go entirely as they had expected.

The Third Group Police Security overwhelmed all opponents with brute force, violently breaking the situation and capturing or killing everyone who was against him.

He didn’t even sustain a single scratch.

Thinking about the Silver Bear Gene Modifier, Tan Shaoyang’s manner of death, Chen Ziwen couldn’t help but want to swear profusely.

"Are those assessment systems eating crap? They said Zhou Ping’an was at most a high D-grade; can anyone tell me, since when can D-grade power easily kill a C-grade warrior?"

The process of killing Tan Shaoyang was somewhat unsettling, but not yet horrifying.

But to think that their laboratory’s ace Number Three Gene Modifier couldn’t even manage to escape and was easily captured and brutally murdered like a chick was beyond belief.

When it comes to survival ability.

Multiples of combat test data have shown.

That delicate-looking Little Queen was incredibly hard to kill; she would find a way to escape even if surrounded by a large army.

Spiritual Charm, versatile and cunning, plus a naturally vulnerable appearance that inspired pity, combined with a speed so fast that guns could hardly aim at her.

It was near impossible to capture her when she was prepared,

Chen Ziwen believed.

Number Three’s ace was on the path of spirit and played an extremely important role in the company’s strategy.

He had dispatched her without informing his father, issuing the order in secret.

If his father knew that Number Three Gene Modifier was so meaninglessly lost,

he wondered if his father would be so furious that his wrath would soar, possibly beating his head in with his cane?

The current issue was not just the pointless loss of the ace Number Three.

But also the Invisible Man, who had been successfully created through a thousand men’s transformations and countless failures, had been easily killed.

How could he not feel heartbroken?

"He has B-level power, absolutely B-level. How could such a level of power appear in Dongjiang? Is that mirror really that powerful?"

Chen Ziwen cursed inwardly.

Usually, he was the one behind the scenes, watching others struggle in their dying moments, enjoying the drama unfold.

But today, he realized he had narrowly escaped death.

If Ren Changxing hadn’t insisted he leave first, he might have already died inside the Xinghe Building.

And he had even thought Ren Changxing was overly calculating and too timid.

"Maybe we should report this to the Chairman. Otherwise, it wouldn’t look good if he found out about this through other channels."

The muscular man beside him was also somewhat nervous at this moment.

He knew that all the elite troops who had come out with him had life signal devices on them.

Now that the signals were gone, it surely meant that they were dead.

How much time had passed, not even five minutes?

"First, let’s hide in the lab. There’s a military guard here, and the security is tight. Even if you give him several courages, he wouldn’t dare chase us in here.

Also, make a call and report to the old man, saying I’m injured, mentally traumatized, currently not of sound mind, and in need of recuperation."

In the end, Chen Ziwen barely managed to come up with a not-so-great plan.

...

"He really did escape into the lab."

Not long after Chen Ziwen and his companion departed,

a small white car came speeding and stopped nearby.

Ahead, the lights were bright, and a massive building sprawled in the wilderness, not only surrounded by barbed wire but also with people standing guard above, rotating posts.

Zhou Ping’an’s mind stirred, and in his mind, a faint sense of crisis still lingered,

so he knew that besides the main gate, the other directions might be rigged with something like "Guile Thunder" for ambush.

His vision was excellent.

Though distant and under a dim moon, he could still clearly see the entire complex.

To the naked eye, there were guards every five steps and sentinels every ten; more than a dozen dogs were patrolling around.

Zhou Ping’an even noticed that in some critical spots, dark gun barrels were exposed.

Cameras were installed everywhere, densely packed, forming a large net.

"That’s some tight security. They even mounted cannons?"

Zhou Ping’an sighed.

The intent to kill in his eyes grew stronger.

"Forcing entry is out of the question unless I get a search warrant. However, this place is tied to the interests of Dongjiang’s powerful and wealthy, making it difficult to obtain a warrant."

Tang Tang put her phone away.

Her expression slightly gloomy.

Just now, she had called Councilman Sun Minghui to apply for a search warrant but was tactfully rejected.

The reason given by the other party was actually quite simple.

It was not that they didn’t want to do it, but rather they couldn’t...

Zhou Ping’an knew that Councilman Sun was at a disadvantage in the midst of the elections.

But she hadn’t expected his predicament to be this severe.

The influence in East River City was virtually all under the control of the opposition. There were quite a few opportunists, and she guessed the majority had drifted to the opponent’s side.

The words he spoke no longer held much weight.

"It’s quite normal, he wouldn’t use his private connections to endorse my risky actions.

Moreover, since the time Sun Lishu almost got kidnapped, Councilman Sun has become even more cautious in his actions. It’s not surprising that he would want to step back now,"

Zhou Ping’an said with a shake of her head and a smile.

She wasn’t surprised at all in her heart.

Councilman Sun might have ambitions and some grand ideals for the country and its people, but first and foremost, he is a politician and then, a father.

The attributes of a politician meant he always lacked the courage to engage in close-quarters, lifethreatening struggles.

And the existence of Sun Lishu meant that he would be even more prudent and less hasty in his actions.

Being prudent is not a bad thing.

But sometimes, opportunities can slowly slip away right before your eyes, beyond reach.

"Breaking in directly, even if successful, would have too great an impact, and would likely be difficult to explain afterward."

Anyone living in this world has concerns and vulnerabilities.

The truly unconcerned are but desperados.

Zhou Ping’an was now proceeding with extreme caution, with everything developing in a positive direction. He definitely wouldn’t opt for a desperate, last stand unless absolutely necessary.

The situation wasn’t that urgent yet.

"Have you located the whereabouts of Chairman Chen Guangyuan of Taihe?"

"It’s difficult, they have expert hackers and have employed the elite personnel of a private security company for round-the-clock protection. They’re even more professional than our side.

However, there is a way to find him, which is to take action along the Eternal Life Group channel,"

Tang Tang said in a deep voice.

"That could indeed be a good method,"

Zhou Ping’an said, glancing at Tang Tang with a hint of apology.

The Eternal Life Group was a hundred times more dangerous than Taihe Pharmaceuticals.

If they clashed, even Tang Tang’s backing family might not get off easily.

In fact, at the critical moment, she might even be abandoned...

Although Zhou Ping’an hadn’t inquired in detail about Tang Tang’s background, from the clues he had secretly observed on a daily basis, he could still deduce some things.

He thought, by involving his senior sister in such perilous matters, he did indeed lack consideration.

Yet she had not uttered a single word of complaint and was actively running around, not because she was unaware of the seriousness of the situation, but because she truly didn’t care.

He inadvertently looked at the new Mind Wish Power Silk Threads that had recently entered his mind.

In addition to the two golden threads that always hung at the top, there was one that had turned deep red, faintly tinged with light gold, which had just been added.

It was provided by Tang Tang after he had killed the "Invisible Man."

With his experience from Another World,

Zhou Ping’an knew that he had brought Tang Tang’s favorability to the brink of admiration.

That meant, once a golden thread appeared, the other party would be willing to forsake their life and forget various principles, to unconditionally stand by his side.

"Stop investigating the Eternal Life Group channel. Since the Chairman of Taihe is so well guarded, don’t probe further and pull back your people,"

Zhou Ping’an pondered for a while, carefully looking at the more than ten new white Wishful Heartforce Threads in his mind, his gaze becoming slightly indifferent.

The current situation might not be that good.

The other mirror and Tiger Talisman that Ren Changxing talked about, he clearly had no chance of getting them for now.

So, he would be patient...

Everything is changing in the course of events.

Perhaps, after tomorrow passes, everything will have improved.

Who knows.

...

"President Tan, take this loss in stride. Given how things were at that time, it wasn’t easy for me to do much...

You’re well aware, with Zhou Ping’an’s strength, it’s doomed that no one can take him down quietly within the city.

Oh, and the contact information of the two ace hunting teams, Snow Wolf and Golden Lion, I’ll give it to you. From now on, whatever happens is not my concern,"

Wang Yulin ended the call with a "snap."

His face looked very grim.

He thought to himself, what gives someone with a bit of dirty money the right to boss me around?

I didn’t even get to ask what kind of pathetic delicacy your son really is, did I?

Even though everyone was on his side, he managed to turn an advantageous situation into a losing battle, dying without any worth.

Thinking of Tan Shaoyang, who couldn’t control his own fierceness after the gene explosion and started killing indiscriminately, Wang Yulin felt a headache coming on.

He wondered if, after witnessing such a scene, those people would still fully support the proposal for gene modification?
