Chapter 344: Cold Blade Night Slash, Establishing Might in Liu Gate

~7 min read 1,280 words

"Mr. Lin, some news just came from outside. The 'Hive' people are indeed using every means to search for research materials left by Dr. Xuanyuan. Their focus seems to be on the parts related to 'energy frequency application'." He bowed slightly, his tone sincere, "This also further proves that the conditions here are indeed too simple and the risk is too high.

The family head has already made arrangements at a hidden facility outside the city, where there is a top-level biological laboratory, and the relevant expert team is also on standby. Transferring there will definitely be able to provide the most perfect and safe follow-up support for you."

He didn't mention sharing the results, but anyone could understand the unspoken words. Pangzi's broken warehouse didn't even have the most basic sterile environment. Subsequent fine operations, the stimulation of "nodes" marked on the chart, and energy guidance all required extremely precise equipment and an absolutely clean environment.

The Liu family's proposal sounded like the only way to survive at the moment, but who could guarantee that it wasn't a road leading to a deeper trap, being caged?

Lin Yu was silent, his fingertips unconsciously sliding across the cold floor, as if calculating something.

He suddenly stood up straight, walked to Xu Xiaochuan's side, and looked down at him. "Concentrate, feel the power behind your back, find the gentlest and finest thread within it. Frequency... try to keep it consistent with me."

Lin Yu took out several silver needles again, twisting them at his fingertips. This time, his target was one of the "stable anchor points" marked on the chart, in the projection area corresponding to Xuanyuan Qing's body surface.

He focused his spirit and calmed his Qi, adjusting the frequency of the little internal energy he had left, while guiding the weak thread of energy that Xu Xiaochuan was outputting cautiously but trying hard to adjust the frequency. The two forces merged, cautiously guided through the silver needles, piercing into the specific acupoints on Xuanyuan Qing's body.

Almost at the moment the needle tip pierced in, a faint blush, visible to the naked eye, actually appeared on Xuanyuan Qing's cheeks, which were originally deathly pale without a trace of blood. Although extremely weak, like the early sun in winter, it was real.

Next to it, the vital sign curve on the monitoring instrument, which had been slowly and steadily rising, suddenly jumped upward, emitting a short and powerful prompt sound.

The manager had been paying attention to the movement here, and seeing this scene, his pupils contracted imperceptibly. The professional calmness he had maintained for a long time finally showed a fine crack that was hard to hide. This young man surnamed Lin, his methods were truly unpredictable!

Lin Yu withdrew the silver needles, his breathing a bit unstable, and he turned to the manager. "Conditions." He only spat out two words, his voice not high, but carrying a kind of unquestionable weariness and hardness.

The manager immediately came back to his senses, bowing again, his posture even lower: "Please speak, Mr. Lin, the Liu family will do anything."

"During the treatment process, I have full authority. Your people can only provide assistance, must not interfere, and must not touch the core links." Lin Yu paused, his gaze sweeping over the chart on the wall,

"Research data belongs to me. You can back it up, but the final interpretation right of all data is with me. The most important one," he looked at the manager, his eyes sharp, "Guarantee the absolute safety and freedom of the three of us. When the treatment ends, or when we want to leave, we can leave at any time, and you must not obstruct us for any reason."

A flash of extremely fast hesitation crossed the manager's face, and a bright light seemed to flash in the depths of those eyes that were always carrying a gentle smile, but it was quickly perfectly covered up by him. "The Liu family will definitely follow all of Mr. Lin's arrangements."

Just as both sides reached a verbal agreement, and the manager was about to immediately arrange the transfer.

Bang!

The heavy iron door of the secret room was violently kicked open from the outside, with such force that the door panel made a painful groan.

Pangzi scrambled in, his face filled with unprecedented panic and a kind of heavy weight close to collapse, his fat body shaking like a sieve in the wind.

"Lin... Mr. Lin! Big... big trouble!" Pangzi panted heavily, his throat seemingly ground by sandpaper, his voice trembling, carrying a crying tone, "I... I sent Xiao Liuzi to watch the movements of those 'Black Snake' scumbags... he's missing! Completely lost contact! The last time he sent back news, he was near the Ocean Freight Terminal in the Nangang District! That... that's the Liu family's territory!"

Pangzi's face was deathly white, sweat mixed with mud and ash dripping down, his whole person shaking as if he were about to fall apart, kneeling in front of Lin Yu with a "thud," his throat hoarse.

"Mr. Lin! Xiao Liuzi... Xiao Liuzi is done for! No news!"

He supported himself on the ground, his fat trembling.

"Last message... was at the Ocean Freight Terminal in the Nangang District! That's the Liu family's territory! He's been with me for several years, you must..."

Lin Yu didn't look at him, his gaze falling on the terminal screen that was still lit with the complete energy core chart.

The Liu family's terminal. At this critical juncture.

Not the desperate "Black Snake" people; they didn't have the guts, nor the ability to cause trouble on the Liu family's territory.

This was aimed at him.

A warning. Or rather... cleaning up the house, and by the way, wiping out the outsiders who might know about the Liu family's dirty business. It was also testing his bottom line.

"Before going to the Liu family, finish this matter first." Lin Yu opened his mouth, his voice having no temperature.

He looked at Xu Xiaochuan next to him; this kid's face was still bad, but the energy in him was clearly different.

"Go."

Nangang District, Ocean Freight Terminal.

The night was as dark as ink that couldn't be melted, the sea breeze blowing over, carrying a salty and wet fishy smell.

A gray, battered freight van, without headlights, slipped silently into the shadows of the warehouse area.

Pangzi stayed in the car, his hands clutching the steering wheel tightly, his face still white, his fingers trembling.

Lin Yu and Xu Xiaochuan got out of the car, like two shadows melting into the darkness, avoiding several patrol teams, and sneaking toward the deepest part of the warehouse area.

The skin on Xu Xiaochuan's back was warm, not the life-threatening pain from before, but a bizarre feeling, as if everything around him had been magnified.

The sound of the wind, the sound of waves hitting the embankment in the distance, and... the fishy smell of rust and blood mixed together, bit by bit, piercing into his brain like needle tips.

"This way." Xu Xiaochuan lowered his voice, pointing to the room in the corner of a row of warehouses, "The smell is wrong... there's a smell of blood, and... the cold air of a freezer."

He led Lin Yu, winding around, avoiding several hidden surveillance cameras, and came to a freezer door with a "Frozen Seafood" sign hanging on it.

The lock was electronic, looking quite solid, but the ventilation grille next to it had traces of being pried.

Xu Xiaochuan placed his palm on the cold metal door panel, closing his eyes. ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
