112 Puppet Jade
As they approached the laboratory, they noticed more snake corpses along the way. Cong Xia didn’t waste any time and absorbed as much as he could into his body, feeling a sense of gaining an advantage.
Yan Huiyang explained, “Yao Huang’s leader is called Xu Zhuo, a Snake mutant. Many snakes are under his control in this era. Since it’s winter, most of them are hibernating, which is why the numbers are reduced. However, during warmer weather, snakes are all over Luoyang City.”
Cong Xia was curious, saying, “Zhao Yinrong and Xu Zhuo already sound formidable. Just how powerful is Wei Zi to dominate Luoyang?”
“The true power lies in the Puppet Jade they possess. All of Wei Zi’s people have been enhanced with Puppet Jade. In most mutant organizations, only the top one or two members are truly formidable, like Zhao Fen and Yao Huang. Other than Zhao Yinrong and Xu Zhuo, there are not many who have made a name for themselves, including our family. However, Wei Zi is different; several of their mutants are exceptionally skilled, capable of taking on hundreds of opponents alone, all thanks to the enhancement from Puppet Jade. Furthermore, many mutants are willing to join them with Puppet Jade in hand, making Wei Zi stronger and stronger. However, in recent months, Wei Zi has faced successive attacks, weakening their forces. So, it’s a bit opportunistic for the Fènglán Society to come for the Puppet Jade now because they weren’t the ones who inflicted severe damage on Wei Zi. In any case, Wei Zi has many powerful members.”

Everyone present was pondering how much chance they would have against either the bat horde or the castor bean bushes.
In the distance, a beautiful and large white fox and a wolf of similar size were tearing each other apart. A large centipede, over two meters long, was chasing after a fast-moving individual. The entire courtyard of the laboratory was filled with nearly a hundred mutants, some battling in groups, others fighting alone, creating a chaotic scene.
Zhuang Yao whispered to Cong Xia, “Can you sense the Puppet Jade?”
Cong Xia shook his head, “It’s not here.”
“It seems we’ll have to ask them directly.” Zhuang Yao looked at the swarm of bats and the agile white fox.
“You finally arrived! Why didn’t you just hide in the sewer for the rest of your lives, you bastards!” A sinister voice resounded above them.
They turned to see a golden ring snake over four meters long, crawling down from a tree, and countless small snakes converged around them.
Yan Huiyang shouted, “Xu Zhuo, your time has come!”
“Yan Huiyang, you should stand in front of me!” Xu Zhuo opened his bloodied mouth and spat out a long forked tongue, looking truly terrifying.
Tang Yanqiu aimed his bow at Xu Zhuo, and Xu Zhuo slithered around the tree and slid several meters away, hiding behind an abandoned car.
The swarm of snakes approached them.
Yan Huiyang roared, “Brothers, let’s wipe them out today!” He took the lead, jumped down from the giant wolf, and instantly transformed into a three-meter-tall mammalian atavistic human. His thick fur covered his whole body, making it impossible for ordinary snakes to bite through.
The giant wolves fearlessly pounced on the snakes, tearing at them on the ground.
Zhuang Yao pointed to the direction of the white fox, “Abu, go there. Tang Yanqiu, kill that wolf.”
Abu ran towards the white fox, which was Yi Nan, while Tang Yanqiu leaped up, bow fully drawn, and an arrow pierced through the wolf’s belly. The giant wolf, over three meters tall and weighing four hundred kilograms, was sent flying by the arrow.
Yi Nan looked at them in surprise.
“Abu, catch him!”
Yi Nan let out a fierce roar at Abu, who immediately lunged at him. However, Yi Nan jumped to the side, and Abu missed his target.
Tang Yanqiu aimed his arrow at Yi Nan and coldly said, “Don’t move.”
Yi Nan stared back at them coldly and gnashed his teeth, “You want the Puppet Jade, so help us kill them. Trying to take advantage of the situation, your plan is truly cunning.”
Zhuang Yao shouted, “I see that both sides are nearly wiped out. Everything is within our grasp. We don’t recognize the members of the Fenglan Society, but we can recognize you. We only want the Puppet Jade, not people. Hand it to us.”
Yi Nan roared, “Don’t even think about it.”
A wave of bats suddenly lunged at Tang Yanqiu, who turned around to dodge. Yi Nan took the opportunity to run behind an obstacle.
Cheng Tianbi swung a wind blade, leaving behind only a bunch of fox fur.
Zhuang Yao said, “Catch Yi Dong or Yi Nan.”
Cheng Tianbi, Liu Fengyu, and Deng Xiao all slid down from Abu’s back and chased after Yi Nan. Tang Yanqiu hovered in the air, suppressing Xu Zhuo, who dared not show himself.
Yi Nan had disappeared without a trace, while Yi Dong and the castor bean mutant were fiercely fighting. At this moment, going up would undoubtedly be an unwise choice. Therefore, the three of them split up to find Yi Nan.
Deng Xiao chased towards the backyard, arriving at a corner where a long bone spike suddenly emerged from the window and stabbed towards his head!
Deng Xiao quickly threw himself to the ground, but still had a patch of scalp scraped off. He jumped up from the ground and instantly transformed, grabbing the bone spike that had not yet been retracted and pulling it outward.
A bizarre creature jumped out of the window, stomping on Deng Xiao’s chest and taking back its bone spike.
Deng Xiao looked closely and saw that it was a person, but his appearance had completely deviated from that of a human. Bones protruded from all the joints of his body, piercing through the skin. He had a rhino-like horn on top of his head, two bifurcated bones propping up his shoulders, serving as both defense and deadly weapons to puncture opponents’ organs during attacks. His fists were like a large bone spike ball, and the most dramatic feature was the row of spine-like bone spikes on his back, making him look like a metal-modified warrior. The strengthening of these bones gave him a porcupine-like body and flexible lethal weapons.
Deng Xiao’s eyes gleamed, “Wow, big brother, your appearance is incredibly cool.”
The person was taken aback and proudly said, “Scared, huh?”
“So, you’re the Bone Evolutionary mutant?”
“That’s right.” The person clenched his fists, making a cracking sound, and assessed Deng Xiao’s rough wrinkled skin. “Amphibian, huh? Hehe, kid, prepare to die.”
Deng Xiao smirked and said, “You look way cooler than that what’s-his-name, mammalian atavistic human. A challenging opponent like you is what I’ve been waiting for. My name is Deng Xiao, remember who sent you to hell!” After saying this, Deng Xiao’s expression changed, and he indulged himself, “I’ve wanted to say that for a long time, and now I finally have the chance. I’m so cool.”
The person roared loudly, and the five fingers turned into five thirty-centimeter-long spikes, fiercely pouncing towards Deng Xiao.
On the other side, Liu Fengyu entered the laboratory’s parking lot, as he sensed a strong energy fluctuation inside, very likely Yi Nan.
The sun was gradually rising, and the parking lot was becoming brighter. Liu Fengyu followed the energy fluctuation and cautiously walked in.
As he turned a corner, a wide open parking area came into view. Several abandoned cars were parked inside, but what caught his attention was a large flower bud in the corner.
Liu Fengyu chuckled, “It’s you.”
The flower bud slowly opened up, completing another incredibly beautiful bloom. The rose peony’s petals were delicate, bright, and elegant. The woman sitting in the center looked even more dazzling.
Zhao Yinrong’s beautiful eyes swept over Liu Fengyu’s face, and she smiled lightly, “I thought the lighting was too dim at that time, and I must have been mistaken. But it turns out it’s really you, Liu Fengyu. I quite liked you when I was in school.”
Liu Fengyu laughed, “Thank you. If you like me, why not surrender? I can be very gentle to women.”
Zhao Yinrong raised an eyebrow and smiled, “How about you surrender to me? I’ll treat you well.”
Liu Fengyu’s expression was playful, but his gaze was cold. He smiled, “How could I surrender like a woman? Unless it’s in bed.”
Zhao Yinrong lightly snapped her fingers, and a pleasant fragrance filled the air, “If I could make the famous Liu Fengyu surrender, it could happen anywhere.”
Liu Fengyu waved his hand, and a foul stench spread, dissipating the pleasant fragrance.
Zhao Yinrong’s expression changed, and she suddenly pulled out a gun from the flower petals and pointed it at Liu Fengyu, ready to pull the trigger.
