Chapter 115

The two of them fell into a silence that lasted for several minutes. Suddenly, Shan Ming glanced through the rearview mirror and said, “That car looks familiar… We’re being followed.”

Shen Changze also immediately took a look. There was an inconspicuous van parked about fifty meters behind them. This van had appeared in their rearview mirror twice before but had disappeared just a moment ago. It seemed to have been moving silently behind them. Shen Changze shifted the gear into drive and said, “Let’s go.”

He drove the car back onto the main road, and as expected, the van behind them slowly caught up. They parked the car in a ground-level parking lot of a supermarket and then both entered the store. They circled around through the employee passage and exited through the back door, heading straight toward the location where the van was parked. When they were just a hundred meters away from the van, it seemed to have sensed something and abruptly drove away.

The two of them felt a sense of disappointment as their attempt to confront the van proved futile. They slowly made their way back to their own car.

As they approached their car and were within a mere seven to eight meters away, Shen Changze suddenly halted his footsteps. His keen nose caught the scent of gunpowder, a smell usually associated with the battlefield. Without hesitation, he swiftly pulled Shan Ming back and ran. Just as they had moved about three to four meters away, a violent explosion erupted behind them. The shockwave knocked Shen Changze to the ground, and they both tumbled several meters away. Fortunately, due to the presence of nearby vehicles, the blast was partially shielded, preventing them from sustaining serious injuries. Though they were left dazed, with ringing ears and numb eardrums, they escaped major harm.

The two of them quickly got up, intending to evacuate the crowd. Fortunately, it was already late in the evening, and there weren’t many people shopping at the supermarket. The parking lot only had a few scattered individuals. Moreover, their car was parked far away from others. Aside from being frightened, no one was injured.

The scene descended into chaos, with people screaming, others calling the police, and many fleeing frantically, desperate to put as much distance as possible between themselves and the explosion site.

Someone actually had the audacity to detonate their car in the bustling city center!

Shen Changze glanced at Shan Ming, silently asking if he had discovered the location of the person on the other end. Shan Ming shook his head.

“What is your ultimate goal? Did you delude yourself into thinking you can enslave humanity? Don’t be naive, it’s impossible. Dragon Blood Kins barely possess the ability to reproduce offspring, and their evolutionary success rate is extremely low. Even if this world were to belong to monkeys, it wouldn’t belong to Dragon Blood Kins.”

“How laughable. Despite having transformed into a Dragon Blood Kin, your mindset and perspective remain as narrow as a human’s. Humans are too fragile—they can’t withstand the cold, the heat, the thirst, or the hunger. They will inevitably be eliminated. The issue of reproduction will be solved, just like the issue of evolution. It’s a trend that no one can stop. Even those foolish humans are striving to figure out how to create more Dragon Blood Kins. They have brought their own destruction upon themselves. One day, the superior physical abilities and intelligence of the Dragon Blood Kins will make them the rulers of the world.”

The more contact he had with Shan Yao, the more Shen Changze could feel the madness within him. He couldn’t fathom what had forged Shan Yao’s sense of racial superiority. Could it be that they had been Dragon Blood Kins for too long? So long that it had caused them to abandon their humanity?

From the way he casually planted bombs in a public place today, it was evident that human lives held no value in his eyes anymore.

He wanted to stop Shen Yao, he must stop Shen Yao… before he commits even more acts of wrongdoing.

“My son, I hoped you would share in the fruits of victory with me, but instead, you have become a liability in my plans. Think about it carefully, what can humans offer you? Money? Power? Status? We can acquire such things effortlessly, and what they can offer you is insignificant. Why subject yourself to their control?”

Shen Changze whispered, “You wouldn’t understand. I don’t want to waste any more breath talking to you.”

Shen Yao let out two cold laughs and hung up the phone.

Shan Ming waved his hand, “It was taken care of beforehand. His location cannot be traced.”

Shen Changze, feeling irritated, angrily slammed his phone onto the ground.

Shan Ming kicked the phone up from the ground, caught it in one hand, and then threw it back to Shen Changze. That specially-made phone was exceptionally sturdy, there wasn’t even a scratch on it.

Shan Ming said, “He has now become obsessed, similar to a terrorist. His team of Dragon Blood Kins is growing rapidly, and he has brainwashed all of them. This is extremely dangerous, and sooner or later, he will commit acts that will capture the world’s attention.”

Shen Changze forced a bitter smile and said, “He turned out to be this kind of human being.”

Shan Ming shook his head, his gaze sharp. “No, he is no longer a ‘human’.”

After Shen Yao’s disturbance, they didn’t feel like leisurely strolling on the streets anymore. Someone could be watching them from the shadows. However, calling the people from the base to pick them up at this moment could risk exposing the location of the base. Tang Tingzhi suggested that they stay outside for a couple more days. He would send someone to eliminate any pursuers around them and then bring them back safely.

Shen Changze’s residence was undoubtedly under surveillance, so the two of them headed to a hotel instead.

Recently, Shan Ming had been going on missions frequently, earning a substantial income but having no place to spend it. He quickly chose the most expensive hotel and booked the most luxurious room. He ordered a table full of fine wine and delicacies, intending to indulge himself and enjoy the experience thoroughly.

In this perilous and unpredictable environment, the two of them still indulged in a night of passionate lovemaking. Perhaps they both understood that death was looming too close for each of them. Seizing the moments while they still had breath and heartbeat, they were determined to make the most of their time together.

They made love on the balcony, the sofa, the table, the floor, and the bed in the presidential suite. They passionately intertwined in any place they desired, connecting with each other in the most primal way. It was as if through this act, they could merge their bodies and souls together, never to be separated again.

Two days later, Tang Tingzhi sent someone to pick them up.

Upon returning, Shen Changze was immediately taken away, leaving Shan Ming to face scolding and criticism from all the members of the Peregrine Falcon. They felt that it was unfair of them to exclude them from going out to have fun.

In an attempt to make amends, Shan Ming directly set up a gambling table in the laboratory and started playing Blackjack. The commotion attracted a crowd, and soon three gambling tables were set up, leaving all the researchers bewildered.

By the time Tang Tingzhi returned, the place had transformed into a full-fledged casino.
