In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 131 Change of Face

After Huo Zheng finished speaking, he led "Xie Yu" out of the car and came to the front of the small hill.

He rubbed and manipulated it a few times on an ordinary stone.

The once smooth mountain wall had unexpectedly split open, creating a small doorway large enough for two people to pass through.

"Xie Yu" cried out in surprise, but Huo Zheng patiently reassured her, "Don't be afraid, it's safe."

After saying that, he took Xie Yu's wrist and led her inside.

The interior of the mountain was dry yet cold, and a peculiar smell wafted through the air.

Xie Yu subconsciously covered her mouth and nose.

Huo Zheng smiled and said, "The inside of the mountain is quite cold and damp, which makes it easy for bacteria and mutated insects and beasts to grow, so we sprayed some medicine inside. Don't mind it, you'll get used to it in a while."

Xie Yu nodded and followed him step by step into the building.

The further you go in, the more advanced the interior design becomes.

It can't even be described as fully modern.

Instead, it is bright, cold, and highly technological.

With a slight frown, Xie Yu was led by Huo Zheng into a metal room with no windows on any side.

He forced her into a chair.

"Huo..."

Just as Xie Yu was about to say something, she heard a few clicking sounds, and her waist, feet, and wrists were tightly bound by metal rings.

Xie Yu then realized something was wrong.

"Huo Zheng, what are you doing???!!!"

Huo Zheng gently stroked Xie Yu's fair and delicate cheek and said softly, "Of course, it's about doing things that benefit all mankind."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, such a powerful ability as beast taming is really... a waste on a stupid woman like you. Why don't I research it and extract it? That way, more people can possess this powerful ability. Then, this world will still be our human world!"

He spoke with such righteous indignation, as if he were a superhero about to save the world.

But his eyes were filled with boundless greed and ambition.

Where was his previous gentle and patient demeanor?

Upon hearing this, Xie Yu did not give Huo Zheng the feedback he wanted.

She relaxed her body, leaned back naturally in the chair, raised her eyebrows slightly, and wore an enigmatic smile.

Huo Zheng's expression darkened slightly as he coldly awaited her reply: "What kind of expression is that?"

"It's... the expression of wanting to laugh."

Huo Zheng snorted coldly.

"Pretending!"

As he spoke, he took out a superpower suppressant from an alloy briefcase next to him.

As he pulled the dust cap off the needle, he said, "Looks like you're quite capable. The anesthetic scent I smelled when I came in didn't seem to have any effect on you. But you can't escape this dose, can you?"

After saying that, he pointed the needle at Xie Yu's slender neck.

Just as he was about to plunge in, Huo Zheng was suddenly pushed away by a force.

He suddenly turned around.

A mutated silver wolf with glossy fur, piercing eyes, and flowing lines that exuded immense energy was already guarding Xie Yu's side.

In front of Yu Yao, there was someone staring at him with a shocked expression.

Li Yanyi!

It was Li Yanyi who pushed him away.

......

Huo Zheng's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked in an exclamation, "Why are you here?"

Li Yan didn't answer, but only asked, "Where is this place?"

Huo Zheng frowned and remained silent.

However, with a slight twitch of her fingertips, Xie Yu easily broke all the shackles binding her.

Under Huo Zheng's horrified gaze, she raised her fair and pretty little hand.

With a playful flick of his index finger, he snatched the potion from Huo Zheng's hand in mid-air.

He added, "It's obvious that this is a human laboratory, specifically designed for people with powerful superpowers."

Li Yanyi clearly couldn't believe what she was seeing and hearing.

She stared at Huo Zheng almost obsessively, hoping to hear what she wanted to hear from him.

Xie Yu shook her head and sighed softly, then slowly stood up.

The next instant, Huo Zheng was thrown into the air and landed on the stool.

After a few clicks, he himself was trapped on top and unable to move.

Huo Zheng then came to his senses and began to struggle.

"Who are you? What have you done?!"

Xie Yu toyed with the syringe containing the ability suppressant in her hand and slowly asked, "Lei Xuanqing is here, isn't he?"

Upon hearing the name, Huo Zheng, who was struggling, immediately stopped and glared angrily at "Xie Yu".

"You, you're one of Lei Xuanqing's people? Your goal from the beginning was to find this research institute, wasn't it?"

"Hmmmm~"

"Heh heh~ I won't tell you." Huo Zheng said fiercely, then immediately shouted.

"Help! Help! Someone has broken into the research institute!!!"

He shouted extremely loudly.

Xie Yu didn't stop him, but instead watched him shouting with amusement, gradually breaking down his last line of defense.

He even wanted to use his supernatural abilities to attack "Xie Yu".

After several attempts, the supernatural power within him remained silent, as if it had suddenly disappeared.

"How...how could it be..."

Xie Yu was too lazy to waste any more words with him. She casually kicked his leg and said, "Hurry up and tell me, so I don't have to search room by room."

Huo Zheng's fierce gaze suddenly shot towards "Xie Yu".

With a trembling voice, he said fiercely, "I won't tell you! Go find it yourself! I wish you'll encounter those modified level three ability users and get torn to pieces!"

Xie Yu chuckled softly.

"That anesthetic smoke does have some effect. For example, it can cause the people here, including yourself, to lose their superpowers or even fall into a coma. Haven't you noticed that despite all this shouting, no one has come to save you?"

Huo Zheng was taken aback, and Li Yan also raised his hand.

They discovered that their superpowers were still functioning smoothly.

"I......"

Xie Yu glanced at her sideways and thought to herself that she was adorably silly.

She deliberately had the colorful butterfly transform into a silver wolf to bring her here, and she even left a door open for her.

Why would they plot against her?

In fact, Yu Yao had discovered it a long time ago.

Huo Zheng and Li Yanyi are clearly two extremes.

A person who is outwardly warm but inwardly cold, seemingly gentle but with a malicious heart.

He is gentle and attentive to her, but his malice level has never been lower than 80, and it has now exceeded 95.

On the contrary, Li Yanyi, although on the surface he speaks without mercy and is mean and cunning.

But in reality, I have a pretty good impression of Xie Yu.

And he secretly helped her several times.

The prison gates were first opened by her.

The superhumans outside the door were also lured away by her.

On the surface, she seemed to dislike these new superhumans.

In reality, it was a feeling of disappointment and anger towards these people with superpowers.

She despised those superhumans who gradually lost their vitality and drive, willingly becoming their lackeys.

That's why I spoke such harsh words, hoping they would leave as soon as possible.

To avoid ending up like those people before, who were given the highest resources, ate the best food, and lived in the best buildings when they first arrived at the base.

But in just a few days, they will move out of the small building and into a dilapidated dormitory, eating the least nutritious junk food.

What's terrifying is that they not only didn't resist, but instead seemed possessed, losing their backbone, kneeling on the ground, waiting to be trampled on.

And they have to be willing to risk their lives for others!
