Chapter 271: Turning Back

"Zhai Sheng, why are you spacing out?"

Seeing he didn't follow up onto the elevator, the crowd asked doubtfully.

Chen Ling silently looked at the sickbed on the elevator, his eyes becoming increasingly icy cold. He turned his head taking a glance at the direction Han Meng left in, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"My stomach is uncomfortable, going to the toilet... you guys go up first."

As his voice fell, he turned around and walked towards the lower floors without the slightest hesitation.

Zhao Yi had already been pronounced a death sentence by the Doctor. Chen Ling could accept him passing away peacefully under the care of the crowd of District Three. If he was unwilling to implicate the crowd of District Three and left alone, Chen Ling also wouldn't mind going to send him off on his last journey... But him dying with this kind of true colors and posture, Chen Ling was unable to accept.

Chen Ling still remembered now, that old man in Frost Street who bitterly begged him to pave a way of retreat well for his own son. He had promised Uncle Zhao he would take care of Zhao Yi, but now...

That black mud changed beyond recognition on the sickbed emerged in Chen Ling's eyes again. A surge of fury similarly began to burn in the bottom of his heart.

No matter how the Aurora Base did Human Experimentation, secretly pulling how many people over, Chen Ling didn't care. But them using Zhao Yi as an experimental subject, torturing him into that kind of appearance, it was impossible for Chen Ling to let the matter drop.

The elevator carrying Zhao Yi and Jian Changsheng on the sickbed slowly rose. The pitch-black first floor plunged into dead silence again.

Chen Ling walked towards the depths of the base with one hand inserted in his pocket. His fingertips tore at his chin, the snow-white coat once again transforming into an Enforcer windbreaker. His eyes in the darkness were as icy cold as knives.

...

Third floor.

"There's a problem with this experimental subject."

A few Enforcers hearing the sound arrived at the room Jian Changsheng was originally in. Seeing the scarlet bloodstains on the bed, their brows tightly frowned.

"Although the bleeding has already reached the fatal amount of an ordinary person, but no matter how it's said, it's impossible for a corpse to disappear out of thin air... Even if his body exploded, the clothes on his body would also leave behind residues."

"Also, these binding straps on the bed are completely snapped. A normal person's strength fundamentally cannot reach this kind of level."

"Could it be that after enduring Potion injection, a mutation occurred?"

"We don't exclude this possibility... But if it's like this, he should have long since plunged into a state of going crazy and running amok rightly speaking, it shouldn't reach the point of not even having a human shadow now."

"You're saying, someone disguised as an experimental subject and snuck into the base?"

"The possibility is very big."

"...Is he crazy? If disguising as an experimental subject, one inevitably has to accept Fusion experiments. Is he not afraid of being directly killed himself? Or turning into a monster? This risk is too big..."

"Now is not the time to discuss these, immediately search the entire third floor! See if there are still any blind spots not searched thoroughly anywhere!"

The numerous Enforcers immediately dispersed, looking everywhere for this experimental subject's possible hiding locations. One Enforcer carrying a Kerosene Lamp strolled a circle in the room, subsequently slowly lying down on his stomach, relying on the dim lighting beginning to inspect the bottom of the sickbed.

"There's a person here!" His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the bottom of that bloodstained sickbed, immediately shouting loudly!

He dragged that person out from the bottom of the bed, discovering it was an knocked-out scientific research personnel, his complexion instantly changing.

"Were there scientific research personnel who left the base just now?"

"Yes! There were three or four people, they just came out from that Laboratory 1. Dr. Yi was also there at the time... They said that experimental subject died during the experiment process, and must be incinerated immediately, otherwise it will cause bacteria transmission... Now they should have already gone onto the elevator!"

"What??"

With this, all the Enforcers' complexions changed, especially Qiong Xuan who just came out from the fourth floor checkpoint. Hearing this sentence, he became furious.

"Why are you still spacing out?! Quickly go chase ah!!"

The two Sixth Stage Enforcers then recovered their senses, taking a few subordinates rapidly charging towards the direction of the elevator. From discovering the bloodstains to now was no more than a minute and a bit, but this time was already enough for those people to return to the surface, retreating completely unscathed... They absolutely didn't expect the enemies would invade the base with this kind of bizarre and unimaginable method, and then silently leave.

Right now Qiong Xuan's lungs were about to explode from anger. He had just arrived at the Aurora Base for a few hours, and a base invasion that hadn't appeared in several years just occurred. The most crucial thing was, actually still letting the other party escape swaggeringly...

Even until now, they didn't even know what the other party's objective was, and how they cut off the base's electrical power supply!

To Qiong Xuan this security Captain, this was undoubtedly an absolute humiliation!

The more Qiong Xuan thought about it the angrier he got. If he truly let those people escape smoothly, he definitely wouldn't be able to be this security Captain for long, and would even have to suffer Tan Xin's punishment... Now he originally already wasn't trusted by Tan Xin, even parachuting a Vice Captain to check and balance himself. With that one's scheming methods, as long as he made a slight fuss over this matter he could make him Beyond Redemption.

"A group of trash!!" Qiong Xuan couldn't resist cursing. "Forget it... I will go chase personally!"

The terrifying Oppressive Aura of the Seventh Stage poured out from Qiong Xuan's body. A massive wolf shadow flashed past behind him. His figure transformed into a streak of lightning, instantly crossing the entire floor, charging towards the direction of the elevator!

At the same time,

The Kerosene Lamp shook violently along with the heavy footsteps, illuminating a corner of the hem of the Enforcer windbreaker. Han Meng walked to the third floor of the base, his complexion as gloomy as water.

He felt that terrifying Aura speeding over, his complexion instantly changing. After slightly turning his body sideways, that streak of lightning then brushed past his figure flying past. At the same time Qiong Xuan's voice rang out:

"I'm going to chase the fleeing intruders! Vice Captain Han Meng! You maintain the base's order well, wait for me to return!"

Han Meng looked at that figure disappearing without a trace in an instant, his eyes narrowing slightly...

Chen Ling who had just gone down from the first floor to the second floor, also felt that terrifying Aura flashing past. Even that lightning didn't wait for the elevator, directly barging into the deep well leading towards the surface, and along the smooth vertical wall surfaces, chased up in the blink of an eye!

Chen Ling's Enforcer hem was blown up by the fierce wind. He turned his head and saw this scene, astonished brilliance also flickering in his eyes.

Is this the strength of the Seventh Stage [Heavenly Wolf]... Following this speed, it seems it truly can catch up to Jian Changsheng.

When Chen Ling conceived this evacuation plan, he had thought the Enforcers would quickly react. So he let Jian Changsheng leave behind so many bloodstains himself, attracting their attention as much as possible, thereby hiding the White Coat Wearer hidden under the bed well... But these Enforcers were after all richly experienced, their reaction speeds even faster than Chen Ling estimated.

Moreover he also didn't expect, Qiong Xuan as a Seventh Stage security Captain, actually would personally make a move to chase and kill the "enemies"... It seems he was truly enraged.

Looking at it like this, his own sudden turning back, was undoubtedly an extremely correct decision. Now all the people inside the base thought the intruders had already escaped from the elevator, and the few high-stage powerhouses even more so went successively to chase and kill Jian Changsheng. It was exactly the time when the entire base's defense was the weakest.

Danger won't disappear, it will only transfer, and now... en... the danger seems to have all transferred onto the body of Jian Changsheng who was originally thought to be safe?

Hope Little Jian is alright (both hands clasped together).

Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze fell onto those Explosives on the second floor that had just finished being manufactured, and still hadn't had time to be sent back to the surface...
