Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 1177: Xiao Yan



"Here are three days' worth of food. Distribute them to those test subjects."

The woman pushed the cart to the fourth area, walked into a nearby room that resembled a kitchen, and placed it there, speaking to the two busy chefs.

"Alright."

The two chefs nodded without turning their heads, continuing their work. The woman was accustomed to this, so after speaking, she turned and left the kitchen.

However, upon leaving the kitchen, she did not plan to return the same way, instead continuing further inside.

Inside this mountain, her organization had already constructed an underground city. This cave alone was divided into four areas; Areas One to Three were for holding hostages, while the fourth area served as an experimental base and a place for the members to rest.

When she first joined the organization, it wasn't large at all, even small. But after constructing these underground cities, they began to act without fear.

Ninety-nine percent of the people missing from surrounding cities had been captured and used as experimental material. Not long ago, she had just brought back a test subject, and this subject was considered superior; otherwise, he wouldn't have been held in Area Two.

Because of this, she received an award from the organization— a full 100,000 yuan in cash!

She was also promoted to an assistant in the laboratory. Though called an assistant, she primarily helped those people resolve some physiological issues.

Elsewhere, she might think this was a demotion, but not here; because by becoming such an assistant, she could earn 100,000 yuan a month.

Such a high salary was enough to make her determined to lose anything.

Of course, if possible, she wanted to capture a few more superior test subjects. Bringing any one of them could earn her a month's salary.

If asked whether she felt guilty about doing this, she would definitely answer no.

"This should be the interior."

Following the woman, Hao Jian had already ventured deep inside, looking at the surroundings with a slight curve on his lips.

"Oh, Xiao Yan is here?"

When the woman named Xiao Yan arrived at a room, a voice with a heavy accent suddenly came, and upon hearing it, Xiao Yan smiled, pulled aside the curtain in front, and walked in.

But once she pulled the curtain, a pungent smell hit her. She merely furrowed her brow slightly; this smell was something she had long been accustomed to while working here.

Before her sight stood three men in white coats, their average age around fifty, their coats stained with lots of blood, and their gloves also soaked.

In front of them was an operating table-like object, and on it, something resembling a human body.

Upon closer look, it was indeed a human— covered in blood, rotten, and exuding a smell of decaying flesh.

"Doctor Qiao Ji, how is this test subject?"

With a slight smile at these three men, Xiao Yan's gaze landed on the man called Qiao Ji, who had been the first to notice her arrival.

Qiao Ji's face showed a bitter expression. He pointed at the person on the operating table and shook his head: "Still a failure, this is today's tenth failed test subject. The three of us have evidently formulated the serum well, yet these people cannot withstand its impact."

"Qiao Ji, should we reduce the dosage a bit more?"

The man named Aleksa beside Qiao Ji frowned, looking at the test subject on the bed that was barely alive.

"Qiao Ji, you know, we have been experimenting over here for a year now, and the number of deceased test subjects is no less than four hundred. Yet, our research shows no progress. At this rate, the top might not be pleased with us."

Qiao Ji's face showed a bitter smile: "Do you think I don't want to produce results for the boss? But we've spent so much funding and test subjects already, and still no progress..."

"Ikabod, tell us what you think we should do?"

Qiao Ji turned his gaze to the last man.

Ikabod shook his head as well, saying: "During our latest experiment, this test subject mutated five times within half an hour. But the powerful mutant cells in the sixth time ruptured his heart, which led to the failure of our experiment."

"So..."

Ikabod glanced at the two, touched his chin, and said: "We should find a superior test subject, see if his heart can withstand seven mutation waves. If it can, our research will succeed!"

"By then, this person will be our first successful human weapon!"

Listening to Ikabod's words, Qiao Ji and Aleksa nodded in agreement. Having made up his mind, Qiao Ji did not hesitate and turned to Xiao Yan, who had been waiting quietly.

"Xiao Yan, check how many superior test subjects we have currently, and bring one to us."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan replied, "Doctor Qiao Ji, we currently have ten top Test Subjects on hand."

"Quickly, just bring one over for us..."

Qiao Ji waved his hand casually, and Xiao Yan obediently turned around and left. She was the assistant of these three people, usually doing such errands.

Soon, Xiao Yan pulled a top Test Subject from Area Two. Fortunately, it was not Zheng Hui.

"Doctor Qiao Ji, I've brought the person to you."

As soon as Xiao Yan entered the laboratory, she addressed Qiao Ji and then, at Qiao Ji's gesture, waved towards the door, after which two men brought in another man.

However, the man being dragged in was still unconscious. On the way over, Xiao Yan had injected him with a full-body anesthetic.

"Hmm."

Qiao Ji nodded and, after having the two men place the person on the test bench, he let them leave. As for Xiao Yan, she stayed to assist and did not leave.

She stepped towards a corner of the laboratory, casually drew back a curtain, and frowned, as there were three corpses on the ground before her.

The smell of the corpses was overwhelming, but Xiao Yan forced herself to endure it. She retrieved a body bag from a nearby cabinet...

Just as Qiao Ji and the others were preparing to experiment on that top Test Subject, Hao Jian had already found his way there. Previously, to avoid a few patrolling teams, he had lost track of Xiao Yan. Fortunately, when Xiao Yan came out to receive the Test Subject, he caught sight of her.

He then followed along, and when he appeared at the door of the laboratory, his gaze happened to catch the test bench not far away...

"Who are you?!"

As soon as Hao Jian appeared at the doorway, Qiao Ji saw him. Seeing this stranger, his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted.

"Who am I?"

Hearing Qiao Ji's voice, Hao Jian let out a cold laugh. Seeing that the person on the test bench was still intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. He casually swept his gaze across the room, thinking nothing was wrong, but in that instant, his expression suddenly changed!

"You're courting death..."

Because in his line of sight were three people who were the same as those he had seen in the pit before!

With his hands clenched tightly, the suppressed anger within him erupted once more, and an intense, cold aura spread from his body.

"Courting death? I don't think so!"

Qiao Ji snorted coldly, then slapped a part below the test bench where they had set a small mechanism, primarily used for restraining people.

However, this wasn't something to control intruders but rather to control those Test Subjects; who knows what state those Test Subjects might be in after the experiments?

If they succeeded but didn't obey, what then? This kind of extreme measure was necessary.

After pressing a button, an iron cage descended above Hao Jian's head, trapping him completely before he could react.

"Haha, fool, daring to come into our base alone? Really think our base is just for show?!"

Seeing Hao Jian captured, contempt appeared on Qiao Ji's face. How dare such a person come here?!

Initially, when Qiao Ji saw Hao Jian appear, he was startled. By rights, the security in their base was very strong; even if a hundred-man team from the military came, they were confident they could keep them here.

How could such a strong Defense System let an outsider break in like this?

Was there some error somewhere?

Qiao Ji felt doubtful but didn't pay much attention. In his view, it was merely a coincidence that the base had an issue, allowing someone like Hao Jian to break in.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the iron cage, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Hao Jian's mouth, his eyes glinting with a cold light, underneath which faint flames danced—those of anger!

"Alright then, today let this base vanish from the face of the earth!"

Thinking of the pit's situation, Hao Jian's heart grew more furious. Those hundreds of bodies were not to be trifled with, all of them had families!

Living lives, trampled upon like this, must be purged!
