World-saving Plan: The Only Savior
Chapter 707 - 521: Makula’s True Plan (Two in One)_2

Chapter 707: Chapter 521: Makula’s True Plan (Two in One)_2

He spoke softly, looking as if he had anticipated that things would turn out this way.

Jannan was also somewhat surprised by Rees’s subsequent behavior, but he didn’t let down his guard. Instead, he gripped the long spear in his hands and assumed a battle stance.

At that moment, Rees was not in a hurry to attack. He smiled slightly with a mysterious expression and said,

"Vasikar, aren’t you curious why I told you all those things just now? Don’t tell me you think I’m really so foolish as to waste so much time just to catch up with you?"

Upon hearing his words, a bad premonition arose in Jannan’s mind.

Rees suddenly burst out laughing and walked over to the edge of the building, pushing open the door.

"Look, take a look outside! You’re surrounded! Everything is about to be rewritten! The world is on the brink of rebirth!"

As he spoke, he raised his arms as if basking in radiance.

Jannan, seeing him move, instinctively wanted to stop him to prevent his escape.

However, what unfolded outside the door as it opened halted his movements.

Far more than before, countless mutated rats emerged from all directions. The black tide rolled across the land like a true ocean, a sight so despairing it sunk hearts just to watch.

Yet what shocked Jannan the most was that, although his Flash Spell still hung high in the sky, the rats seemed completely unaffected.

They roared as if in madness, occasionally building seven or eight-meter high walls of rats that tumbled and crashed into the research institute.

"This, this is..."

Jannan’s pupils dilated as he saw a figure in a black robe slowly drifting towards the building from the sky.

"Hahaha! Yes, Lord Makula has arrived in person! Your so-called light is insignificant before Lord Makula! The swarms He commands have no weaknesses. Prepare yourself for the baptism of fate!"

Rees laughed loudly.

Jannan’s eyes focused, and then with a flick of his finger, he quickly formed a Burst Spirit Skill and shot it at the figure in the sky outside.

The moment Rees saw him move, he reacted immediately.

He flung himself forward with abandon, using his own arm to block the Burst Spirit Skill’s attack, while his tail turned into a blur, stabbing towards Jannan’s chest.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out as Jannan used his long spear to block the attack. His form shook slightly as he tried to adjust his angle to continue shooting at the figure in the sky.

But Rees had already summoned the mutated rats in the building to launch a ferocious assault on him, making it impossible for him to chase the figure in the sky. He had to first deal with these annoying creatures.

"Hehehe, Vasikar, I don’t know what kind of strength you’ve obtained, but it doesn’t matter; today is your day to die!"

Rees chuckled sinisterly, and in an instant, he leapt into the air and landed on all fours, clinging to the ceiling.

Immediately after, the dark green scales on his body began to change, blending gradually with the surrounding environment.

In just a few seconds, his color shifted, merging with the nearby walls and ceiling.

This was a mimicry ability akin to a chameleon’s, extremely effective. It was impossible for human eyes to discern his exact location.

"Swoosh!"

A black shadow flashed by; Rees’s figure appeared above Jannan at some unknown time, his slender tail lancing out like a venomous snake, executing a lethal sneak attack.

Jannan dodged to the side at the last moment, narrowly avoiding the attack, but his arm was still scratched, a gash appearing on his Daring Clothes with blood flowing out.

"Hehehe, Vasikar, you can’t run away, stop your futile struggling and die quietly!"

Rees’s voice seemed to come from all directions, making it difficult to pinpoint his location.

Jannan had no time to pay attention to him. He had to fend off the rats’ siege while also being wary of Rees’s sneak attacks, requiring his full concentration.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Another round of attacks came, and Jannan’s body successively acquired several more wounds.

The number of rats around him was also increasing, and the mutated rats in the square outside were continuously pouring in, making his situation increasingly dire.

Yet even at this time, his expression remained exceptionally calm, as if the person trapped in such a predicament was not him.

"Drip~"

A barely perceptible sound of a water droplet echoed.

Jannan’s ears twitched, and he suddenly turned around, his long spear transforming into a flash of silver lightning, striking something with a horizontal swipe.

"Ahh!"

A scream rang out as Rees’s figure fell from the ceiling, landing among the horde of rats.

His tail had been cut off by that strike, and blood was pouring out.

Jannan gave him no chance to breathe, leaping high into the air, his Mystic Weapon Spear plunging downward, piercing straight into his heart.

"Ugh, gurgling... How, how did you find me..."

Rees struggled a couple of times but couldn’t continue to act, only able to look at Jannan with a resentful and unwilling expression.

Jannan didn’t answer him but simply pulled out the spear and cleaved through a few mutated rats that tried to sneak attack, then slowly looked at the other’s arm.

Rees followed his gaze, looking down, and he understood.

There was a wound the shape of a small hole on his right arm, left from blocking the Burst Spirit Skill attack earlier.

"So, that’s how... You found me through my blood... Cough, cough, cough... But don’t... get too pleased... Lord Makula... is about to succeed... Even if you kill me... he can resurrect me... I will soon... be back..."

He said and could hold on no longer, his arm fell loosely, and he lost his breath.

Jannan took a long look at the man who had once pushed him to the brink, sighing softly in his heart. The grudge that had entangled him for years finally ended today.

However, even though Rees was dead, Jannan’s own situation was still very grim.

The number of rats was increasing, and the entire Bades Research Center was surrounded by an uncountable swarm of rats.

If he continued to stay here, he would only be submerged in the black tide.

He looked up at the sky outside, where the black shadow was no longer visible, presumably having entered the interior of the building directly.

As for the microbial molecular shock machine Rees mentioned, he had heard of it.

It was the most famous machine in this research institute and had international fame.

The reason for its fame was not that everyone had become biology research enthusiasts.

The reason was simple: the thing was extremely expensive, shockingly so.

Jannan had found out that if converted into Huaxia Coins, its value was around 19 billion, equivalent to a whole top-tier laboratory.

So it was not surprising that there would always be a military presence in this building.

The valuables here were of such high value that not the slightest loss could be tolerated.

But now, this machine worth billions had caught Makula’s eye.

According to Rees, if the other party successfully used it to carry out his plan, a new virus would spread throughout the world, and what would happen then was really unforeseeable.

At this moment, hearing that the gunfire upstairs had stopped, Jannan knew things were not good. He chopped through the surrounding rats with his spear, rushing towards the top floor.
