(Outskirts of Heurn Province)

(Hidden Location- Secret Military Complex)

Qin Lan let out a light sigh as she stopped looking at the inside of the rooms that they passed. It was too much even for her to take in.

Every single room had one of those containment chambers inside. This facility must have performed human experimentation on a massive scale.

How could it have gone on for so long without being exposed?

Gong Li and Liu Yifei were eerily silent as both girls followed behind Qin Lan while lost in their own thoughts.

Qin Lan wasn\'t sure how to comfort them. What they had seen inside this military complex were horrific sights that one could not explain or comprehend.

Humans were truly cruel monsters.

At the end of the corridor was what seemed to be a pair of large, reinforced steel doors or rather… the remains of them.

Claws marks could be seen on the pieces of the doors, and they seemed to be quite familiar. Qin Lan recognised them… they clearly belonged to Eve.

Which meant that…

Qin Lan glanced at the bodies on the ground but could feel no sympathy for the monsters who locked innocent men, women, and children away to be experimented on.

Eve did the right thing.

Qin Lan entered the room and saw the bodies of scientists scattered on the ground around what appeared to be a large pedestal.

Their white lab coats were stained by the light brown colour of dried blood, but that detail was not what attracted Qin Lan\'s attention.

The pedestal in front of her was completely empty, but one could see shards of what seemed to be purplish-black crystals on the ground.

Qin Lan stepped towards one of the shards and picked it up. The purplish-black crystal looked like the ones inside the mutated animals, plants, and zombies but…

She could somehow tell that there was no energy left inside.

It was like someone had already absorbed the energy without having to swallow the crystal itself. Qin Lan furrowed her brows and walked around the room looking for more clues.

"Girls… stay close together and search the pockets of the scientists," Qin Lan whispered softly as she checked around for any drawers or tables.

There was nothing.

This room only had the giant pedestal in its center and the corpses of the scientists that were already partially decomposed.

Liu Yifei snapped her fingers and a few pairs of gloves appeared out of thin air. She handed a few to Gong Li and then reluctantly put on a pair herself.

The young teenage girl knelt down and began to rummage through the lab coats on the corpses hoping to find something useful.

There were plenty of phones and tablets, but their batteries had long gone out and the few that somehow powered on were all password protected.

The search continued for around ten minutes before Gong Li raised up a piece of paper that she found in one of the pockets.

"I found something!" Gong LI excitedly spoke before hurriedly lowering her voice once she saw Qin Lan raise a finger to her lips.

They all gathered around the piece of paper that simply had the words \'She\'s coming. I…\' and that was it.

Not really helpful but it was better than nothing. Qin Lan wanted to explore some more but knew that they didn\'t have enough time.

"Okay let\'s go explore the other buildings," Qin Lan softly whispered as she gently touched the two girls on their shoulders.

She shot them a comforting look and then led them out of the room.

Qin Lan glanced back one more time and could not shake the feeling that there was something important about the empty pedestal.

Still, she forced herself to keep moving forward and eventually they returned to the outside world.

Qin Lan took a brief moment to catch her breath and then scanned the nearby surroundings for any intact buildings.

There was one a few hundred meters west that appeared to be relatively undamaged with only a broken door.

The windows that had been shattered were covered up by pieces of wood so clearly someone had taken the time to fix them.

Qin Lan silently pointed at the buildings and the two teenage girls by her side nodded and followed her closely.

(Military Barracks- Hidden Location)

Subject 001 stretched out his right palm and a blue portal appeared in the middle of the wall opposite to him.

On the other side of the portal one could see an incredibly handsome man wearing a military uniform with a thin scar across his face.

His body was muscular and well built. There was an aura of savage cruelty surrounding his body that was both attractive and threatening at the same time.

The man was surrounded by dozens of zombie corpses as well as a few human survivors whose bodies had been burnt and blackened beyond recognition.

Lightning crackled along Wu Jing\'s fingertips as he glanced at the portal with a cold expression before stepping inside.

Subject 001 closed the portal and then leaned against a nearby wall while clutching his chest. He felt a great deal of pain on all parts of his body.

Fuck… this…

Wu Jing watched indifferently as the young teenager in front of him steadied himself and then looked him directly in the eyes.

"How is your power developing?" Subject 001 asked in a harsh tone.

"Good… I am now able to defeat mutated zombies quite easily and human meat is very easy to cook…" Wu Jing replied as he created a ball of lightning that hovered slightly above his palm.

Subject 001 watched the ex-soldier play with the ball of lightning and could not help but feel a surge of jealousy.

If he looked like that… if he had a cool ability like that… LIU YIFEI WOULD HAVE LOVED HIM.

Subject 001 clutched his head in agony as he desperately fought down the urge to murder Wu Jing.

He needed the ex-soldier alive for his fight against Subject 014.

Wu Jing seemed to sense the internal conflict that was going on inside the young teenage boy\'s mind and his eyes narrowed.

He also had to resist the impulse to murder his companion. It was clear that this boy treated him like some kind of pawn.

He was not some mere puppet to be ordered around like a dog. Wu Jing had a strong sense of pride and refused to be under the command of someone he considered beneath him.

Subject 001 groaned and then ordered Wu Jing to leave the room. The ex-soldier left without hesitation and took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket.

He lit the cigarette and placed it in in his mouth. A small intake of breath was all it took for Wu Jing to feel his nerves begin to calm down.

There was no need to rush. He still needed that freak in order to make himself stronger and once he reached a certain level of strength…

Well, there would be no need to listen to the orders of a petulant child.
