"Alas... It looks like I’ve fallen into a hopeless situation. But aren’t you afraid of the guards outside? Aren’t you worried they’ll hear us and storm in?" Zhang Bin sighed.
"I’ve already locked the door. The guards won’t co in," Hanbing Yun said coldly.
"Even if the guards did co in, I could easily kill you and escape with Doctor Han," Sandra added with a sinister smile. "With my abilities, once I’ve regained my strength, no one in the world could stop from escaping. And if I want to kill soone, no one can get away."
"What about a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator?" A deep sneer spread across Zhang Bin’s face, as if he wasn’t the least bit worried or afraid.
"Kill him! He’s stalling for ti," Hanbing Yun, ever the clever one, commanded.
"Zhou Tianyu, you can co out now!" Zhang Bin shouted.
His words had just faded when a powerful figure erged from the wall.
However, to Zhang Bin’s chilling realization, it wasn’t Master Tianlong but an Arican. That would have been one thing, but this was a Genetically Enhanced Human. What was even more terrifying was that this Genetically Enhanced Human was Jack, and he was even stronger than Sandra.
This is real trouble!
"Jack, is that you? You ca to save ?" A wave of joyous surprise washed over Sandra’s face. She ran over and threw herself into Jack’s embrace, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
Zhang Bin didn’t dare run. Jack was emitting a terrifying aura that locked him in place. With Jack’s strength, he could attack in an instant, giving Zhang Bin absolutely no chance to escape. This wasn’t just a terrifying trap; his luck was outrageously bad. He had coincidentally stumbled upon Jack infiltrating the base to rescue Sandra.
"It’s . I’ve co to save you, Sandra. As long as we’re both alive, we have hope of making a coback. We can build an empire for our kind, the Genetically Enhanced Humans, and fulfill our great undertaking of exterminating humanity and keeping the rest as livestock. From now on, let’s breed quickly and fight for our future," Jack said passionately.
But his gaze remained fixed on Zhang Bin. His right hand was raised, a lethally sharp dagger appearing in his grasp. This was, of course, a Low-grade Magical Treasure from that underground base.
"Jack, I have so good news for you," Sandra said, stepping out of Jack’s embrace and pointing at Hanbing Yun. "This woman is Hanbing Yun, the head of China’s Genetic Enhancent project. The funny thing is, she perford the enhancent on herself, so she’s one of us Genetically Enhanced Humans, too. Unfortunately, her quality is too low—only S-level. Still, she can bear children. Let’s take her with us. She can be your concubine."
"Hahaha..." Jack laughed maniacally. "Excellent, excellent! She’s an exceptionally rare beauty. I like her very much. However, her main task will be to continue performing Genetic Enhancent to rapidly increase the number of our kind. I was worried that after the catastrophe our people faced, we wouldn’t have anyone with such talent. But now, I’m not worried at all. It seems fate hasn’t abandoned us Genetically Enhanced Humans. Humanity is destined to beco our livestock."
Sandra cackled with smug delight.
Hanbing Yun didn’t laugh. She rely stared coldly at Zhang Bin, as if she was appreciating his despair and savoring the thrill of her revenge.
"Hanbing Yun, your goal is the sa as theirs, isn’t it? The extinction of humanity?" Zhang Bin said coldly, his eyes fixed on her. "It’s a sha I arrived too late. If I had co earlier, I could have killed you."
As he spoke, he slowly walked toward Hanbing Yun, continuing, "Truth be told, I was captivated by your beauty the first ti we t. Since I’m about to die, and you used to like ... how about a final kiss?"
"Don’t waste ti. Kill him," Hanbing Yun said coldly, backing away quickly.
"Die!" Jack lunged forward. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhang Bin, his dagger slashing madly at his neck. He intended to decapitate him.
His speed was incredible, his attack too sudden. Zhang Bin had no ti to dodge before the blade struck his neck.
CLANG!
But the dagger couldn’t penetrate his skin. It rang out with the sound of tal striking an anvil. A suit of gray armor had suddenly appeared on Zhang Bin’s body, exuding an indestructible aura.
This was the Xuanwu Armor from Xuanwu Star.
After acquiring so many precious Evergreen Pills, Gao Si had sold them for a huge fortune and imdiately purchased a suit of armor—a Middle-Grade defensive Magical Treasure. Zhang Bin had not yet produced the Liquefaction Pills, so he couldn’t trade with Gao Si yet. Even so, Gao Si didn’t hesitate to teleport the armor to Zhang Bin right away. It was precisely because of the Xuanwu Armor’s astounding defensive power that Zhang Bin had dared to infiltrate this base to kill Hanbing Yun.
However, Zhang Bin was still thrown back by the trendous force of the impact, staggering a few steps.
"Huh? You have armor with such strong defensive power? Could it be a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure?" Surprise and delight flickered across Jack’s face.
"He’s from the Taiqing Sect, a sect comparable to the Kunlun Sect. His Flying Sword is a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure. I didn’t expect him to also possess a suit of Middle-Grade magical armor. He’s obscenely wealthy," Hanbing Yun sneered.
"Hehehe... We’ve struck it rich! It’s our destiny as Genetically Enhanced Humans to rise," Sandra exclaid, her face alight with joy.
After all, they knew exactly how precious Middle-Grade Magical Treasures were. At the Hero Auction, while Magical Treasures were sold, they were all Low-grade. Middle-Grade Magical Treasures had never appeared. Only the great sects with thousands of years of history, or even longer, possessed Middle-Grade Magical Treasures. They were treated like nuclear weapons and would never be brought out for auction.
Now, if they killed Zhang Bin, they would get two Middle-Grade Magical Treasures. With those, they wouldn’t have to fear even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. And killing Zhang Bin... for the two of them, how easy would that be?
They had truly struck it rich!
"Struck it rich? Don’t make laugh. I’ll tell you the truth: today, all three of you are going to die here." A sneer appeared on Zhang Bin’s face as he raised the Talisman he had been clutching in his hand.
He could have used Tutu to summon Master Tianlong and the others. But Master Tianlong’s group didn’t have the power to save him, let alone stop these two terrifying masters. Zhou Tianyu and the others weren’t in the Capital City right now; the few SSS-level Superpower Users had been dispatched to hunt down other Genetically Enhanced Humans.
Therefore, Zhang Bin could only save himself.
This Talisman was his last life-saving treasure. Of course, he hadn’t drawn it himself. It was one of two life-saving Talismans that Gao Si had teleported to him. The first was the Ice Talisman, which he had already used against that vicious man from the Island Nation, Tanikawa. This was the second one.
If he didn’t have a life-saving treasure, he would never have been foolish enough to walk into the trap Hanbing Yun had set
