Supremely Talented Tyrant

Corpses!

All corpses!

All of them are so decayed that it's impossible to tell what they looked like when they were alive!

Hao Jian even saw the person who had just been thrown in by those two people. He still had a faint breath, but his body was so decayed it resembled a zombie from a movie, perhaps even more terrifying than those zombies.

This large pit is five or six meters deep, with a diameter of more than ten meters. At this moment, the inside is half-buried with countless corpses. Hao Jian roughly counted more than a hundred just on the surface, and there were many more below!

"These people deserve to die!"

It's safe to say that over the past year, half of the people who disappeared in Hao'an City ended up in here!

The other half might have been brought here from elsewhere. There are men and women, and quite a few young people, but no elderly.

They all had one thing in common: their skin was severely ulcerated. Some who were not entirely dead yet had pus oozing out of their rotting wounds.

But this pus varied in color depending on the location—some was black, some was transparent.

From these circumstances, Hao Jian believed that these people were undergoing some sort of experimentation, and live human bodies were being used!

If an experiment was beneficial to the human body, this wouldn't happen. The only explanation was that they were conducting an extremely horrific experiment that posed a great threat to people!

Only such experiments would use live human bodies for testing.

"Creak... Creak..."

With hands clenched into fists, a crisp sound was made. Hao Jian's eyes gradually turned red, but at a certain moment, he slowly regained clarity.

His gaze turned calm, but beneath that calm, a deep-seated towering fury was visible. After a slow breath, Hao Jian finally calmed his emotions.

"I can't stay any longer. Who knows when they'll throw more people in here..."

Thinking of this, Hao Jian stepped past the large pit swiftly, heading deeper inside. As for the barely breathing person, Hao Jian ignored them.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he could tell with a glance that the person was beyond saving.

Since there was no hope, he naturally wouldn't waste his effort dragging them out, especially when time inside might mean saving a few more people.

Rather than focusing on those about to die, it's more worthwhile to check on those who are still alive. Most importantly, he needed to confirm if his employee had been harmed.

"Step..."

His foot calmly landed on the branch of a Big Tree, and Hao Jian's gaze looked far away. Four hundred meters away, he saw some firelight.

Upon seeing this firelight, Hao Jian's eyes gleamed. He stomped his foot and leaped to another tree, slowly approaching the fire by repeating this action several times.

Once he got closer, he could finally see this firelight. It was from that woman and that man, and of course, two others wearing protective suits.

They were standing at what seemed to be a gate, chatting. The four of them pulled carts as they walked and talked, faces adorned with smiles as if the massive pit earlier had not affected their moods at all.

Indeed, in the face of this situation, they were accustomed. Perhaps at the beginning, they would have had a reaction, but eventually, it became as normal as drinking water.

Moreover, they wouldn't dare show any aberration as it would make their leader doubt their abilities. Once suspicion arose, leaving would not be so simple.

He would die, and only the dead could keep secrets. The matters involved here were too significant for their leader to let someone untrustworthy roam free.

Especially for those particularly averse to these matters, such people, he absolutely would not employ!

"You guys head over first; I'll take these things over."

The woman pointed to the cart, speaking with a calm tone, and the three nodded upon hearing her. The two in protective suits took them off and threw them into a corner inside.

Along with the previous man, they moved some items inside. As for the woman, after seeing the three finish moving, she pushed the cart with the remaining items down another path.

Seeing this, Hao Jian hesitated, then gritted his teeth and followed the woman. This side had all the food, and Hao Jian found it hard to decide which side to follow, but seeing the woman's cart held less food, that indicated these were not for the host here.

Since they're not, there's only one reason left: they're for the hostages. Besides the hostages, what else here needed to be fed separately?

Perhaps there is a place for conducting experiments there, and since it's related to hostages, the laboratory naturally wouldn't be far from those hostages.

And as Hao Jian had guessed, shortly after he began to follow the woman, two people in protective suits suddenly appeared on the path behind.

A closer look revealed it was those two people from before. They quickly caught up with the woman, took off their gloves, hung them in their pockets, and helped the woman push the cart with both hands.

After all, they had touched corpses earlier; if they didn't take off their gloves, the bacteria and pus on their hands would get on the food.

Although this food wasn't for the experimenters to eat, to ensure the experiments could proceed smoothly, they were feeding the hostages well.

Only healthy bodies could support their experiments, and only healthy individuals could provide experimental data from their bodies.

This path wasn't long, only about five or six hundred meters; it just took a few minutes for Hao Jian to follow them into a cave.

With his superior skills, Hao Jian managed to avoid detection while following them. However, the further he went, the more shocked he became at the defensive strength inside, which was second to none in the country.

Of course, this was only in comparison to civilian forces; compared to the military, the equipment was far inferior.

Every half hour, a team of seven patrols the passageways, equipped with less powerful imitation assault rifles.

The two in protective suits separated from the woman soon after entering the cave, taking a different path.

In this dimly lit cave city, the woman soon arrived at a place that made Hao Jian even more furious.

This was the detention area for the hostages!

Even though they were feeding and caring for the hostages to keep them healthy, there were no absolutes. As long as their physical condition didn't affect experimental data, nothing else mattered.

Just moments ago, Hao Jian witnessed seven or eight men assaulting a young woman. The woman was expressionless, her once lively eyes now lifeless, with no desire to survive.

From the look of it, she seemed accustomed to such treatment.

Even worse, Hao Jian saw many men who had their genitals removed, their pants soaked with blood, some of which had already dried.

Severed limbs were everywhere, as long as the main body systems were intact, the leader had no objections.

Along the way, Hao Jian counted more than thirty people, most of the men were missing limbs, and the women were much the same.

This place was more like Hell than a place, devoid of human society, only an abyss of inhumanity.

Luckily, Hao Jian did not see his employees among the hostages, giving him some peace of mind.

But when he passed through the second area, Hao Jian's expression changed because this area also contained many people, though fewer by seven or eight compared to the previous area. Here, Hao Jian found his employee, Zheng Hui.

The first area and the second area were like Heaven and Hell. Those in the first area were already tortured into losing their will to survive, treated with utmost cruelty.

But in the second area, while these people seemed unkempt and hadn't bathed for days, there were no severed limbs here.

There were many women here too, but from their clothing, it was clear they hadn't been violated.

With a slight pause, Hao Jian deduced that the people in the second area had only recently been captured and hadn't yet been subjected to experiments.

Continuing to follow the woman, Hao Jian didn't plan to act yet. Even though he found Zheng Hui, he needed to assess the situation in this cave first.

Know the enemy, know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

After two more minutes, Hao Jian followed the woman to the third area, which had no hostages and was empty with only room after room.

Getting closer, Hao Jian's expression changed dramatically, and a Killing Intent involuntarily began to emanate from him, but he quickly reined it in.

Because inside, he saw many people, mostly disabled, with numerous festering wounds, although their overall condition seemed stable.

Each room held one person, and after Hao Jian examined them, he understood their situation...

Doomed to die!

This was Hao Jian's diagnosis.
