    Chapter 77

    Shan Ming led Shen Changze to the entrance of the underground laboratory. The entrance was a two-meter diameter circular door made of an unknown, particularly bright metal.

    Shen Changze asked, “How do we get inside?”

    Shan Ming happened to pick the vehicle with the most equipment, and it happened to be equipped with a variety of advanced weapons. He rummaged through the military-grade bag and found a small-scale explosive device. He pressed it against the door and stepped back with Shen Changze. With a loud bang, the heavily fortified password-locked door was blown open, creating a large hole.

    Shen Changze took the lead, followed closely by Shan Ming. Both of them held their machine guns tightly as they cautiously entered through the hole in the door.

    As the smoke cleared, they were greeted by a descending staircase that led directly underground. Shen Changze and Shan Ming proceeded down the stairs until they reached a long corridor ahead. They were surprised to see that the underground area had already been excavated, and the area was so large.

    The two of them slowly moved forward, hugging the wall. Suddenly, a chilling voice echoed from above, “You actually dared to venture into this place. You’ve destroyed so many of my laboratories. Don’t think you can simply walk out of here.”

    Shen Changze found a camera and gave it a middle finger.

    Tang Jingzhi laughed, “Let me show you the power of Dragon Blood.”

    Shan Ming’s face was covered in sweat, his clothes soaked through. He had never experienced a battle like this before. Facing dozens of jackals injected with Dragon Blood stimulants was simply madness.

    Shen Changze’s eyes turned bloodshot. He no longer cared about employing the various combat techniques he had learned over the past decade. Instead, he fought like a true beast, tearing, biting, clawing, and swatting. He faced the beasts with the posture of a beast.

    Someone has once said, war is what brings out the animalistic nature in people.

    As the threat of death drew near, the will to survive would unleash the primal instincts within humans to their utmost limits, not to mention that Shen Changze could no longer be considered fully human.

    The once two-meter-wide corridor had transformed into a slaughterhouse. Countless jackal corpses filled the ground, their flesh, organs, brain matter, and blood staining the entire floor and walls. The stench of blood was so strong that it was difficult to breathe.

    Shen Changze’s dazzling golden scales were entirely drenched in blood. Being soaked in blood, he resembled a rakshasa from hell. He relentlessly slaughtered these dozens of crazed jackals, not allowing a single one to leap past him toward Shan Ming.

    In addition to being shocked, Shan Ming couldn’t suppress a sense of overwhelming pride in his heart.

    This was his son, so damn awesome!

    Shen Changze walked over to Shan Ming, panting heavily, and picked up the gun from the ground. His crimson eyes locked onto Shan Ming and asked, “Dad, are you okay?”

    Shan Ming used his sleeve to wipe off the blood that had splattered onto his eyelashes, “I’m fine, but you can’t rest yet,” he said, grabbing Shen Changze’s hand and leading him through the corridor littered with jackal corpses, venturing further.

    Before them lay a spacious hall, spanning over a thousand square meters. In the center of the hall stood a control panel, surrounded by eight transparent laboratories. Within four of the laboratories lay people, or rather, Dragon Blood Kins.

    These Dragon Blood Kins bore a striking resemblance to Shen Changze, with the only notable difference being their smaller wings and predominantly black, gray, and dark blue scales. Not a single one had light-colored scales. Even so, the sight of four Dragon Blood Kins appearing simultaneously was enough to leave Shan Ming in shock.

    They soon spotted Tang Jingzhi as well.

    Tang Jingzhi, Tang Tingzhi, several researchers, and a group of bodyguards stood in a large suspended control room. That control room, except for the floor, had transparent walls and was suspended over three meters above the ground, creating a sense of separation from the surrounding area.

    What shocked Shan Ming the most was that he also saw Nessis inside that glass enclosure.

    When Nessis caught sight of Shan Ming, there was a mixture of fear and a hint of epicaricacy in his eyes. He even smiled and waved at Shan Ming.

    Shan Ming raised his gun and fired a shot directly at the glass enclosure, leaving only a small bullet mark. Those inside must be feeling a great sense of security.

    Tang Jingzhi’s expression turned ferocious. “Originally, these individuals were unstable in their Dragon Blood Kin forms, not suitable for awakening. However, you’ve nearly destroyed the laboratory that I worked so hard to establish, so your dead bodies will serve as compensation.” He pressed the button in his hand and coldly declared, “They have been hungry for a long time, and they particularly enjoy feasting on flesh.”

    The doors of the four transparent laboratories suddenly opened, and the instruments besides the four Dragon Blood Kins lit up with red lights. The transparent liquid flowed into their bodies at a visible speed, and all of them opened their eyes.

    They leaped off the beds, roaring with intensity, their eyes bloodshot and devoid of any trace of human consciousness.

    One by one, they sprinted out of their laboratories and stared at Shen Changze and Shan Ming. They grinned, displaying their mouthful of sharp teeth.

    The scene of more than twenty members of the Peregrine Falcons getting their bodies torn apart facing a single Dragon Blood Kin flashed before Shan Ming’s eyes. He remembered how Lin Qiang had sacrificed himself, holding explosives and jumping onto that Dragon Blood Kin, turning into scattered pieces of flesh along with the monster. The fear, despair, and immense grief from that time resurfaced in him at this very moment.

    The four towering and ferocious Dragon Blood Kins approached them step by step, and Shan Ming seemed to smell the scent of death in the air.

    Shen Changze opened his mouth and let out a fierce roar, baring his teeth as he emitted a menacing growl to intimidate them.

    The four Dragon Blood Kins halted their steps, and a glimmer of fear flickered in their eyes that were devoid of any humanity. Perhaps it was the intimidation of a pureblood, they sensed Shen Changze’s power and instinctively took a few steps back.

    Shen Changze continued to roar at them and took a step forward. Each step he advanced was each step the four Dragon Blood Kins retreated. They didn’t dare to approach any further.

    Tang Jingzhi cursed, “So useless! Release Gas No. 3!”

    His assistant trembled and said, “Gas No. 3 is too dangerous. What if they go out of control and cause this place to collapse?”

    “Release it!” Tang Jingzhi walked up to the front himself and rapidly manipulated the keyboard with his fingers.

    As Shan Ming and Shen Changze heard the mention of “Gas No. 3,” they both became anxious. They quickly turned around and attempted to retreat back to the corridor.

    Tang Jingzhi coldly stated, “It’s useless. Unless you can reach the ground floor within 3 seconds, it won’t matter where you run.”

    Not to mention they didn’t even have three seconds left, even if they did, it wouldn’t be enough time to reach the ground. Soon, a white mist began to emanate from the vents on the wall. It was visible to the naked eye, yet had no discernible odor.

    The two covered their mouths and noses.

    Tang Jingzhi’s cold voice rang out again, “Gas No. 3 only affects the Dragon Blood Kins.”

    Shan Ming couldn’t hold his breath any longer, he decided to simply let go and take a breath. As expected, he felt nothing, not even any discomfort. However, Shen Changze’s reaction was different. After inhaling the gas, his body started trembling incessantly, just like the other four Dragon Blood Kins, whose bodies trembled violently.

    Tang Tingzhi suddenly rushed to the microphone and shouted anxiously, “Shan Ming! Find a place to hide! Don’t let them see you…”

    Before his words even finished, he was already pressed down to the ground by the bodyguards.

    Shan Ming quickly understood what Tang Tingzhi meant.

    The four Dragon Blood Kins, who had previously feared Shen Changze, suddenly became unusually excited. Their fear vanished without a trace as they roared, howled, and pounced toward both Shen Changze and Shan Ming.
