Chapter 186: The Gene Troops!
Tang Chen sneered and said scornfully, “Young Master really doesn’t understand how you have the nerve to say such things. It’s always been your people who provoked Young Master first, and now you’re turning the tables and blaming me. You’re really shameless.”
Mo Gui chuckled eerily and said, “Tang Chen. I originally wanted to invite you to witness the arrival of the new century with me, but you’re so ungrateful. You really disappoint me.”
“New century? The new century again. That guy I killed also said those words before he died. What kind of conspiracy are you people involved in!” Tang Chen grew more and more confused. The Mo Sect was extremely mysterious, and anyone with eyes could see they weren’t an ordinary student gang. So why exactly did they choose to establish themselves in the school?
Mo Gui laughed heartily, glanced at Yang Mi, then looked back at Tang Chen, and said coldly, “Fine, since you’re all going to die anyway. I’ll tell you my world-shattering plan! My Mo Sect is one of the world’s oldest families. But as times changed, the family declined more and more, until it became what it is today. I, Mo Gui, am the new young master of the Mo Sect. To restore the Mo Sect’s former glory, I started having people research a potion that could alter human genes several years ago—the very potion you picked up from the bridge.”
“But as you know, experiments require test subjects for me to use. So I set my sights on the school as a target. I created a gang specifically to recruit students. Any student who joined was injected with this serum. At first, it always failed. People died one after another; none could survive the serum’s power. Just as I was about to give up, there was a sudden breakthrough. I finally succeeded. The last batch of test subjects survived. Not only did they not die, but they lost their five senses and became a gene troop that only knows how to follow my commands!”
Tang Chen watched Mo Gui, who grew more excited as he spoke, and hearing his words, felt a chill in his heart. This guy was too insane, actually using students’ lives for his experiments. How was this any different from those Japanese during the war who researched germ bombs!
“You’re simply devoid of conscience, doing such things. Aren’t you afraid of retribution!” Tang Chen shouted angrily. Right now, his body couldn’t move, so he could only try to buy time.
“Retribution? Hahaha, what bullshit retribution! In the face of absolute power, everything is insignificant! Originally, I planned to use my gene troop for kidnapping and murder, but your appearance disrupted my plans! You never should have destroyed my funding source, the Dragon Phoenix Gambling Hall! Without financial support, my experiments were forced to stop. So, you and your woman dying by my hand today is entirely your own fault!”
Mo Gui grew angrier as he spoke, and with one hand, he grabbed Yang Mi by the neck. Yang Mi’s mouth was blocked, so she could only let out muffled cries.
“Stop! Don’t hurt her!” Tang Chen cried out in pain and urgency, saying, “It was Young Master who caused this. If you want to kill someone, kill me! Kill me!”
“Hahaha! So you have a weakness too, Tang Chen. I always thought you feared nothing in heaven or earth!” Mo Gui released his grip, slapped Yang Mi across the face, and then said ferociously, “You disappoint me, Tang Chen. The strong have no emotions! But that’s fine too. This way, we can play slowly. I’m going to make you die without a burial place. Come out and meet them, my gene troop!”
Snap!
He snapped his fingers, and then a crowd of people swarmed out from the rooms on both sides of the hallway. There were about a hundred of them. They were bare-chested, each with a faint blue glow on their faces, empty-eyed, walking like zombies, instantly filling the corridor.
“These are my one hundred gene troops. They’ve all been injected with the highest-strength gene serum. Tang Chen, don’t you want to save your woman? Fine, kill them, then come find me. Hahaha.” With that, Mo Gui pushed Yang Mi’s wheelchair and disappeared around the corner of the hallway.
“Yang Mi! Damn it, I’m going to kill you all!” Tang Chen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes nearly bursting with rage.
“Respected Host, please calm down. You are about to face one hundred gene-modified humans,” the System reminded Tang Chen. The Host was too emotional; that could easily lead to trouble.
“Young Master knows, but Young Master absolutely cannot stand by and watch my female pervert in danger!” He moved his body; the effects of the paralyzing agent had worn off. His body shot forward, and he punched a gene-modified human, sending it stumbling back. The gene-modified human just paused blankly, then continued advancing.
“Damn it, it didn’t work!” Tang Chen didn’t care about that anymore. He charged into the hundred gene-modified humans, specifically aiming attacks at the most vulnerable parts of the human body.
These hundred gene-modified humans didn’t perform any other attack moves; they just mechanically threw punches and used their bodies to crash around.
Tang Chen kept attacking, adjusting his strength to the maximum, but whether he broke a gene-modified human’s arm or kicked one flying, these gene-modified humans continued to attack expressionlessly. If an arm broke, it dangled uselessly as they used their legs; if they were knocked down, they just got back up.
Thud!
Tang Chen punched another gene-modified human, slamming it into the wall. He said to the System in his mind, “System, it’s no use. These bastards are like wooden training dummies; they just won’t die no matter how much I hit them. If this goes on, I’ll be exhausted to death first.”
Just as he complained, a gene-modified human kicked him to the ground. As it was about to continue its attack, Tang Chen used both legs to twist and break its leg. Blood spurted from the gene-modified human’s leg as it fell to the floor.
The System said calmly, “Respected Host, there is no creature in this world that cannot die. The reason gene-modified humans are powerful is that after being injected with the virus serum, their five senses are forcibly paralyzed, turning them into people without perception. With the right weapon and by finding their weakness, you can easily slaughter them too.”
“Then hurry up and give it to Young Master! Stop talking nonsense!” Tang Chen yelled as he retreated. He knew the System had good things hidden away and wasn’t giving them to him.
“Respected Host, this System does have a weapon that can deal with them. However, you need to exchange it using your High-Rich-Handsome Aura Points. This time, it will cost one hundred Aura Points,” the System stated its terms calmly, while a trace of a human-like wry smile appeared in the mind’s system interface.
“One hundred Aura Points? Why is it so expensive this time? Wasn’t it just ten or twenty before? Besides, do I have that many?” Tang Chen asked doubtfully while dodging and retreating.
System: “Respected Host, you currently have one hundred and twenty Aura Points. It’s enough. Do you wish to make the exchange?”
“Exchange! There’s no time to waste now!” Tang Chen punched down another gene-modified human and said urgently.
“Ding! Host spent one hundred twenty Aura Points to exchange for one Toothed Dagger. Exchange successful!”
Whoosh!
After the system prompt, Tang Chen felt a burning sensation in his right hand. He clenched it tightly and saw a golden dagger appear in his hand. One side of the dagger had teeth resembling a comb, looking very sharp.
“Respected Host, please use this dagger to stab the gene-modified humans in the head!” the System exclaimed, sounding somewhat excited.
“Good! Go to hell, you bastards!” Tang Chen trusted the System completely. He kicked a gene-modified human down, then jumped up and forcefully plunged the dagger into another gene-modified human’s head, somewhat like a headshot in a shooter game.
Squelch!
Green liquid, along with red and yellow matter, flowed out of the gene-modified human’s head. The gene-modified human fell to the ground with a thud, dead on the spot.
“It really works? That’s great! Then all of you, go to hell!” Tang Chen’s killing intent surged. Wielding the dagger, he charged into the gene troop and began his headshot spree…
Meanwhile, on the second-floor balcony, Mo Gui was standing there pushing Yang Mi in her wheelchair. Silent tears streamed from Yang Mi’s eyes, and her body trembled involuntarily.
“Soon, it will all be over soon,” Mo Gui muttered to himself. Footsteps sounded behind him. He turned around to see Tang Chen, covered in blood, appearing at the staircase entrance.
“Yang Mi, are you okay!” Tang Chen’s face showed exhaustion. Headshotting a hundred gene-modified humans would tire out even the Blade warrior.
Hearing Tang Chen’s voice, Yang Mi immediately turned her head to look at him. When she saw Tang Chen’s condition clearly, tears immediately streamed down her face—tears of heartache.
“You managed to take down my one hundred gene warriors. Not bad. I’m impressed by you once again. However…” He paused, took a small remote control from his pocket, and said coldly, “I’ve planted over a ton of explosives in this hospital. As long as I press this button, we’ll all die. Exciting, isn’t it?”
Madman, this bastard was a complete lunatic. If his plan failed, he would take everyone down with him?
“Don’t be impulsive! We can discuss anything slowly!” Tang Chen couldn’t risk angering this bastard recklessly now. If he really pressed the button, everything would be over.
