NOVPUB"Looks like I’m going to die here today?"
Sun Yuanshan clutched his severed arm, his face calm.
Yu Changshan said with a smile, "You’ve come looking for trouble with Wu Bin time and again, it’s only right that you leave something behind."
"Those young ones, we can overlook, after all, everyone makes mistakes when they’re young, and we’re willing to give them a chance to mend their ways."
"But you, at your age, still engaging in this kind of thing, it’s really not appropriate."
Seeing Yu Changshan educating him as if talking to a junior, Sun Yuanshan immediately let out a cold laugh.
"You really think I’ll just let myself be captured without a fight? If you want my life, you’ll have to see if you have the skills to take it!"
"Baji Fist Activate!"
Sun Yuanshan roared and the muscles on his body bulged hugely, and his hair stood up, sharp as needles.
The old man who appeared quite ordinary just a moment ago now looked even more exaggerated than those muscle-bound hunks you find in the gym.
Yu Changshan nodded with narrowed eyes.
"That’s right, I was wondering why you looked familiar from the moment I saw you."
"You’re Sun Yuanshan, the traitor from Baji Gate."
At the word "traitor," a greater fury flashed in Sun Yuanshan’s eyes.
"Whether I betrayed Baji Gate or not is none of your business, an outsider’s. Take this!"
The Baji Fist is extremely powerful and fiercely yang!
Sun Yuanshan lunged at Yu Changshan in a quick stride, appearing clumsy, but his forward speed was very fast, as if leaping towards him.
Technicians might be formidable with their techniques, but their physical bodies are extremely weak.
As long as he could get close, he was confident he could kill Yu Changshan!
However, Yu Changshan stood his ground without moving an inch, while Chu Zhan charged from the side, immediately guarding in front of him.
Bang!
Sun Yuanshan collided fiercely with Chu Zhan, like two iron towers smashing into each other.
"Get out of the way!"
Sun Yuanshan, appearing frenzied, whipped his iron-like arm, frantically lashing out at Chu Zhan.
Strength emanates from the ground, culminating at the fingertips.
Sun Yuanshan’s mastery of Baji Fist was already at a sublime level, each attack accompanied by the sound of tearing through the air.
Unfortunately for him, now with just one arm, how could he hope to defeat Chu Zhan who had two?
Chu Zhan was not in a hurry, merely defending, waiting for Sun Yuanshan to expose a weakness.
The more Sun Yuanshan fought, the more desperate he became.
For his current state was induced by a secret technique.
Once the time passed, he would revert to his original form and even enter a period of weakness.
"Since I’ve encountered this, let me handle the cleanup for Baji Gate. Chu, step aside."
Hearing Yu Changshan’s words, Chu Zhan quickly dodged to the side.
Sensing something amiss, Sun Yuanshan barely looked up when a giant hand made of condensed soil burst from the ground, violently slapping toward Chu Zhan!
Sun Yuanshan tried to block it with his hand, but it was utterly useless.
The giant hand, composed of soil, permeated through every gap, how could Sun Yuanshan stop it with just one hand?
Bang!
Sun Yuanshan was smacked heavily onto the ground, his ribs breaking one by one, blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth.
After the secret technique ended, Sun Yuanshan’s body was like a deflated balloon, shriveling up gradually.
Chu Zhan stepped forward to check his breath, then shook his head at Yu Changshan.
"He’s dead."
Yu Changshan brushed off the dust on his clothes and said, "Alright, we’ve given The Ninth Research Institute an explanation."
"Notify Baji Gate to identify the body."
Having said that, Yu Changshan carried his radio, humming a tune as he walked back.
...
The next day, early morning.
Wu Bin sat up in bed, unable to help but exclaim,
"Fuck, why does my body hurt so much."
Wu Bin felt as if he had gone through an intense workout; every muscle and bone in his body ached unbearably.
"You’re awake?"
Wu Bin raised his head and saw Nightingale sitting opposite him.
This woman was still so cool and composed, wearing leather clothes and a cold expression, giving off a distant and unapproachable vibe.
"Am I hallucinating again?"
Hearing Wu Bin say that, Nightingale curled her lips.
"It’s not a hallucination, I am Nightingale."
Nightingale continued, "Your medical assessment report is out, and according to the report, your mental state is very unstable. Therefore, the higher-ups have instructed me to take you to the Third Special District for recuperation, to see if your mental illness can be cured."
"The Third Special District? What place is that?"
Nightingale said indifferently, "You’ll know once you get there."
"You have one minute to get ready, I’ll wait for you outside."
Just as Wu Bin was about to say he could leave right now, he realized upon lifting the covers that he wasn’t wearing any underwear.
Damn!
What on earth happened last night? Nightingale couldn’t have done something to me, could she!
After getting dressed, Wu Bin followed Nightingale onto a medical ambulance vehicle.
This vehicle was clearly modified by The Ninth Research Institute to deceive the onlookers.
From the outside, it looked like a vehicle meant for transporting the mentally ill.
But in reality, it was just a normal van, with seats and everything else unaltered.
Nightingale sat in the passenger seat, and the driver headed west with the vehicle.
In the beginning, Wu Bin was quite curious, but since Nightingale kept her lips sealed, he couldn’t get any useful information out of her.
Having no other choice, Wu Bin could only lie down to sleep.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but as the vehicle violently jolted, Wu Bin groggily opened his eyes and woke up.
Wu Bin looked out the window; it seemed like they were in deep mountains and dense forests.
However, there was a checkpoint on the forest trail ahead, blocking their path.
"Password."
"Shangri-La."
"Password correct, you may pass."
The soldier made a gesture to the others behind him and then saluted the driver.
Once the vehicle passed the checkpoint, everything started to look different. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
After going around a corner, a huge waterfall appeared in front of Wu Bin.
This was Wu Bin’s first sight of a waterfall, and he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in amazement.
Below the waterfall, there was a vast lake.
Around the lake, various military tents were set up.
The people from The Ninth Research Institute were stationed near the lake, studying the surrounding environment.
After the vehicle came to a stop, everyone got off.
A middle-aged man came over from the distance.
As soon as she saw the middle-aged man, Nightingale immediately gave a salute.
The middle-aged man nodded to Nightingale and then reached out his hand to Wu Bin.
"You must be Wu Bin. I’ve heard great things about you."
"Ah?"
Wu Bin was a bit confused.
"You know me?"
Nightingale introduced him, "This is Dr. Jin Nanhua from The Ninth Research Institute, a specialist in biological research."
"The medical data you provided helped Dr. Jin develop many effective drugs."
Hearing what Nightingale said, Wu Bin felt a bit odd.
Because he had provided medical data that led to the development of numerous effective drugs?
That didn’t sound quite right; had he become a lab rat?
Jin Nanhua said with a smile, "Wu Bin, I’ve heard about your condition. Don’t worry, my team and I will do our utmost to treat you."
