My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 243: Chapter 0243: Gene Laboratory_1

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Metallic wires kept shooting out from the mechanism. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

These metallic wires, used for ambush attacks or against those with inferior strength, were indeed effective. They caused significant damage and instilled fear, but against an expert like Ye Xiong, they seemed rather useless.

Without the element of mystery, they seemed utterly worthless.

Ye Xiong flipped his dagger so he held it by the blade, wrapped around one of the metallic wires, and pulled with force.

This metallic wire, which might have left a mark on normal metals, didn’t leave a scratch on the Peerless Divine Weapon Leng Mo.

Under the immense force, Ghost Shadow let out a pained grunt, and the hidden weapon slipped from his hands.

“You dare to claim you’re on par with me with this level of ability? Where’s your courage coming from to say such things?” Ye Xiong mocked coldly.

Without his hidden weapon, Ghost Shadow was no match; not daring to continue the fight, he swiftly fled deeper inside.

Ye Xiong pursued, but suddenly Ghost Shadow reached into his bosom and scattered a cloud of purple mist. Uncertain if the mist was poisonous, Ye Xiong didn’t dare to be careless and stepped back.

In that instant, Ghost Shadow had slipped away without a trace.

Just then, over a dozen people poured into the cave entrance—it was Vermilion Bird and Chen Xiao, who had brought reinforcements.

The leader was Minister Jiang, the current number one expert of the Dragon Group whom they had met previously in the mountain base inn.

“Where is he?” Minister Jiang asked.

“He got away.”

“Useless.” Minister Jiang said coldly.

“If you’re so capable, why don’t you chase after him?” Ye Xiong stepped aside, making a welcoming gesture.

“Chase.”

With a wave of his hand, Minister Jiang’s more than ten subordinates followed closely behind.

“This guy, his temper hasn’t changed in a hundred years, still with that same arrogant demeanor,” Chen Xiao cursed.

“Cold-faced ghost, he thinks he’s so great,” Vermilion Bird huffed.

“He’s formidable; let him take the lead.”

As Ye Xiong prepared to follow, he noticed He Mengji standing in a daze and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“You all go ahead. I’m going to look for Thirteen. I’m afraid something might have happened to him,” He Mengji said.

Ye Xiong understood the importance of Thirteen to her.

After so many years of life and death together, even if He Mengji didn’t like him, she still considered him extremely important. Now with Thirteen’s life and death uncertain, it would be strange if she wasn’t worried.

“Chen Xiao, you accompany Meng Ji to find Thirteen.”

“It’s always me.” Chen Xiao pointed to his own nose.

“You’re the one getting a salary from me, so who else should I ask?” Ye Xiong said.

“Sigh, the life of a hard-working employee.” Chen Xiao sighed.

Without further ado, Chen Xiao and He Mengji headed toward the cave’s entrance.

Inside the cave, only Ye Xiong, Vermilion Bird, and the An Family Sisters remained.

“We have nothing to do with this. We don’t know anything.”

“The leader only asked us to give you the box. We don’t know anything. Please, spare us,” Angel and An Le pleaded, sensing danger. The sisters thought about running away, but considering that Ye Xiong could kill a giant wolf and defeat the leader’s disciple, they knew they couldn’t escape and thus resorted to begging for mercy.

“Having been with Ghost for so long, you would know nothing about him?” Ye Xiong said coldly.

“Although I have been with him for a long time, I’ve never seen his true face,” An Le said.

“I used to be with Skeleton; I’ve only been with Ghost recently. I’ve only seen him once, and that was the time on the cliff edge,” Angel explained.

“Since there’s no Thunder Mountain Divine Beast, keeping the two of you is pointless.”

“Please, don’t kill us. You can tell us to do anything,” they begged.

“`

“Cook.”

“Do chores.”

“Warm the bed.”

“Sleep with you.”

“Angel, can you not be so shameless? To save your skin, you’d even resort to sleeping with someone,” An Le reprimanded.

“What choice do I have? I’m still so young; I don’t want to die, wuuu,” Angel cried. “Brother Xiong, you’ve already spared me once before, sparing once or twice makes no difference, why not spare me again, please?”

“Angel, pleading with him won’t work; he won’t spare you. Even if you have to die, you should die with dignity,” An Le countered.

“I’d rather live shamelessly.”

The sisters kept talking, which annoyed Ye Xiong to no end.

It seemed killing them wouldn’t make much of a difference; they were merely two pawns to Ghost.

Ye Xiong couldn’t care less about them and ran straight to the cave, with Vermilion Bird following close behind.

Soon, they arrived in front of a metal door, where Minister Jiang with his men was also present.

Minister Jiang glanced at the camera above the metal door and with a snap of his fingers, a bullet shattered the camera; his action was effortless and cool.

“This metal door might be leading to the base, but we can’t get in!” Vermilion Bird said.

“Everyone, step back,” Minister Jiang ordered.

Upon hearing this, the ten members of Dragon Group retreated more than twenty meters and took cover.

“Why do they look so scared?”

Vermilion Bird was baffled, but he soon understood why as Minister Jiang pulled out several circular metal rings from his chest and stuck them onto the door, one after another, for a total of three.

Ye Xiong’s face darkened. These Super Gravity Bombs were Dragon Group’s secret weapons, tremendously powerful. One was enough to bring down a door, and if one wanted to be extra sure, two would be more than enough. But this guy actually used three.

Showing off was one thing, but this was just ridiculous!

While the bombs were being activated, Minister Jiang slowly walked around the corner.

Just as he reached the corner, a ground-shaking explosion was heard, and the entire door collapsed thunderously.

From the cavern’s ceiling, numerous rocks fell, and the whole cavern nearly collapsed.

“Now I understand why so many in Dragon Group are afraid of him; this guy is simply a freak,” Vermilion Bird cursed.

“The nickname ‘Devil’ isn’t given for nothing,” Ye Xiong said, staring at Minister Jiang with a dispassionate tone.

As the door fell, a gigantic laboratory was revealed before everyone.

It was a huge lab the size of a football field with three layers.

Each layer was lined with several tall glass containers, each containing different specimens. The first layer held animals, the second adult men, and the third children.

Tubes were inserted into their bodies, running from the containers to the monitoring computers outside.

Witnessing such an inhumane laboratory, everyone couldn’t help but be deeply moved.

Inside the lab, dozens of doctors in white robes were startled by the sudden explosion and immediately descended into chaos.

“Quiet, continue working, transfer all the data!”

Within the lab, a familiar voice sounded.

Long Zaitian stepped out, followed by a few men in black.

“Commander?” Minister Jiang couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Keep your composure; he’s an impostor,”

Ye Xiong stepped out of the crowd and spoke calmly, “Ghost, we meet again.”

Ghost’s gaze swept across the faces of the dozen people before settling on Ye Xiong and said indifferently, “Reaper, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to make it this far.”

“I have Skeleton to thank for that. If not for him, I might really have fallen for your trick and ended up like those dead people in the containers, a subject of your genetic experiments,” Ye Xiong replied with a cold smirk.
