Chapter 90

“Don’t drink beer on an empty stomach early in the morning,” Shen Changze snatched the beer emitting icy vapor from Shan Ming’s hand.

“It’s none of your damn business,” Shan Ming’s expression turned unpleasant as soon as he saw him, reminded of what happened last night. He reached out to grab it, but Shen Changze stuffed a straw into his mouth. “Taste this freshly squeezed soy milk made from the newly harvested soybeans from Northeast China.”

Lily sighed with satisfaction, “It’s delicious, with a natural sweetness. Do Chinese people all drink something like this in the morning? How nice…”

Shan Ming took a sip, it was indeed rich and mellow, without any added sugar, yet it had an enticing sweetness. The newly harvested soybeans were indeed different. He hadn’t tasted a traditional breakfast like soy milk in years. He couldn’t help but quiet down, focusing on drinking the soy milk, and then he took a bite of a plump meat bun.

Oriole sat across from him, smiling kindly. “Is it tasty?”

Shan Ming swallowed the tasty meat filling. “You made them?”

Oriole nodded. “I made all of it. Look at those foreigners enjoying the food.” He seemed quite proud.

Shan Ming glanced at the others, who were indeed devouring their food hungrily. He couldn’t help but find it a bit funny.

After finishing their meal, Tang Tingzhi led them into the kitchen.

Jobb whistled. “Why? Are we having lunch here?” He sounded surprisingly excited.

Tang Tingzhi didn’t answer him. Crow adjusted the four switches on the gas stove to specific positions, and a cabinet near the wall suddenly moved aside. Eventually, a tunnel appeared on the ground, with stairs leading underground.

Crow was the first to go down, and the others followed one by one.

Once they descended, they discovered that the basement of this villa, with an area of over two hundred square meters, had been hollowed out and transformed into a modern communication base and arsenal. The concealment measures were exceptionally well-done.

Tang Tingzhi and Shen Changze checked their fingerprints and irises at the entrance. Overhead, they heard the mechanical voice saying, “Alarm deactivated,” and only then did the group enter the interior of the underground base.

Tang Tingzhi said, “Tang Jingzhi has mastered the revolutionary technology of Dragon Blood Kin evolution. He can now produce Dragon Blood Kins at a faster rate and with a higher success rate than us. Moreover, since all the Dragon Blood Kins he has were evolved from Shen Changze’s blood, although their blood purity and talent abilities may not match those of the Dragon Blood Kins evolved from the Sea Dragon, they have fewer rejection reactions and adapt to their roles more quickly. Ordinary Dragon Blood Kins need one to two years or even longer to control themselves and enter combat, but these Dragon Blood warriors only need a few months or even less. Tang Jingzhi is now mass-producing these types of Dragon Blood soldiers, posing a threat to global security. We must stop him before he grows stronger.”

Tiger Shark spoke up, “I have a question.”

“Please go ahead.”

“If you control your Dragon Blood Kins with patriotism, then what gives Tang Jingzhi the power to control those hooligans he obtained from who knows where?”

Tang Tingzhi nodded. “That’s a crucial question, and it’s one of the answers we need to seek because we don’t know either.”

“You guys don’t know?”

“I should say we can’t be certain.”

“Perhaps it’s through drug control, hypnosis, or some other form of mental manipulation. At present, we cannot confirm. However, known forms of mental control drugs do not achieve such powerful effects on Dragon Blood Kins. Tang Jingzhi is a genius, his way of thinking is very different, and he always comes up with some unscrupulous but effective methods to achieve his goals. What we are most concerned about now is that his Dragon Blood Kins are causing chaos among ordinary people. If this secret is exposed, it will plunge society into a panic. We will also face international condemnation, which will hinder our National Weapon Project. Therefore, this time, orders have been issued from above to kill if not captured alive. We must eliminate Tang Jingzhi and the uncertain Dragon Blood Kins he has created.”

Tang Tingzhi began to showcase weapons to them. “In addition to conventional equipment, we have specially modified weapons designed to deal with Dragon Blood Kins.” He picked up a silver gun that looked like something out of a science fiction movie. “This is a high-voltage electric gun. You can adjust the voltage on the handle. Here’s the safety latch, be extremely careful when using it. If there’s a leakage, you will end up charred. Due to the limitations of modern technology, the high-voltage charge will last for a maximum of two minutes, so you must cherish those two minutes. This is the Shock Particle Laser Dagger, capable of cutting through ten centimeters of steel. The scales of the Dragon Blood Kins are no challenge for it, but it requires great wrist strength. This is an acid-resistant protective suit. The blood of Dragon Blood Kins is acidic, and their pH levels vary. For example, Shen Changze’s blood is highly acidic, and although the pH of other Dragon Blood Kins’ blood may not be lower than his, it still causes significant damage to human skin. Avoid contact as much as possible. These bullets are ice-piercing bullets. When they penetrate the body, they rapidly freeze and necrotize the organs around the impacted area, which greatly inhibits the Dragon Blood Kins’ ability to regenerate. Due to the high production cost, the quantity is limited and can only be used by snipers.”

Tang Tingzhi introduced several other weapons, each tailored for specific purposes. It seemed that while they were researching how to make the Dragon Blood Kins stronger, they also didn’t forget to prepare against these formidable superhuman warriors. With these weapons, the concerns about the unknown creatures that haunted everyone in the Peregrine Falcon began to diminish. Despite the Dragon Blood Kins’ power, they were still flesh and blood beings that would die without a brain or heart. They even began to feel excited about this unprecedented battle.

Looking at these brand-new high-tech equipment, each person touched and examined them, reluctant to put them down. They couldn’t wait to get hold of a Dragon Blood Kin and test them out.

“Vulture, Oriole, and Crow will accompany you for specialized training over the next two days, familiarizing you with weapons and the enemy.”

Lily stared in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening as she turned to Oriole. “Are you also a Dragon Blood Kin?”

Oriole nodded modestly, a hint of shyness still evident on his face.

Tang Tingzhi spoke, “Since we could only bring a few people, of course we brought the best.”

Ayer sneered, “You’ve brought four monster bodyguards and still expect us to protect you. How afraid of death are you?”

Tang Tingzhi explained, “Dragon Blood Kins can become unpredictable when their lives are threatened. They might even turn against their own allies. Although these four individuals have never lost control so far, it’s better to be safe. Please ensure my protection.”

Vulture scoffed, “You’re just afraid that we’ll hold a grudge against a scientific freak like you.”

Crow chuckled, “Vulture, don’t say that. It’s the Colonel’s job.”

Oriole chimed in, “That’s right. No matter what we do, it’s all in service of the country.”

Vulture rolled his eyes and bluntly remarked, “Well, this pretty face of yours just needs to hide behind us when things get tough.”

Ayer furrowed his brow, “Rest assured, he will be hiding behind me, in case you turn back and bite him.”

Vulture raised an eyebrow, provokingly glancing towards Ayer.

Ayer arrogantly lifted his chin, matching Vulture’s intensity without conceding an inch.

Tang Tingzhi expressionlessly handed Ayer a protective suit, saying, “Would you like to try it with Vulture first?”

Ayer pushed away the heavy gear, “I don’t need this thing.”

“You have to wear it.”

“At least for now, I won’t wear it. Dealing with this middle-aged baldy only requires my fists.”

Vulture glared at him, and the tense atmosphere between the two instantly escalated.

Shen Changze intervened, placing his hands on both of their shoulders, and firmly stated, “We’re comrades now. We can spar peacefully, any childish provocations must be put aside.”

Oriole foolishly added, “Major, Vulture means no harm. He just has a sharp tongue.”

Shen Changze glanced at Vulture and pushed his chest, creating a safe distance between him and Ayer. “Captain Vulture, please be mindful of your words and actions at all times.”

Vulture shot a glare at Ayer and sulkily moved aside with his gun to nurse his wounded pride.

Tang Tingzhi looked at Ayer and asked, “Can I really hide behind you? I might attract a lot of firepower.”

Ayer glanced at him and replied, “Forget it. I don’t want to be tied to a short-lived person like you even after death.”

Shen Changze slowly retreated to Shan Ming’s side, unconsciously speaking with a commanding tone, “Don’t try to be strong on your own. Whatever happens, I will protect you.”
