Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1261 - 595: Trap and Interrogation

Liang Yuan’s form slithered, instantly becoming one with the shadows. Snap! A visage resembling a fox’s head lunged forth, its claws slicing the air with a sharp wind. Woo—! The earsplitting sound of air being rent apart manifested as multiple blade-like claws. Pop pop pop! Three sharp tearing noises followed. These three claw-blades bypassed Liang Yuan’s shadow, shredding the metallic iron wall nearby. "A potent spiritual illusion technique coupled with ferocious physical attacks." "Truly, this is the combat prowess achieved through gene recombination." Liang Yuan hadn't anticipated that such a superpower user would be concealed within the Hawk Faction’s military laboratory. "Did that old man, who identified himself as Dr. An, mention she was an experimental subject?" While traversing the Shadow World, Liang Yuan observed the true form of the white fox-faced assailant. The fox was gargantuan, its fur an immaculate white. Its body stood over three meters tall, yet it was less than a fifth the size of Liang Yuan’s own Ice Bear, itself a product of gene recombination. However, its agility and spiritual energy were undeniably on par with his. The fox-faced creature let out a roar, relentlessly darting around the laboratory in a bid to eliminate Liang Yuan. Yet, it remained incapable of touching Liang Yuan in his shadow form, succumbing to fits of futile rage on multiple occasions. Suddenly, it ceased its assault, the metallic device affixed to its forehead flashing. In the subsequent moment, it abruptly pivoted and actuated a switch on the wall. Click! Instantly, the entire laboratory was flooded with light. All shadows were banished, and the remaining fragmented darkness prevented Liang Yuan from escaping within them. Liang Yuan’s silhouette materialized from the receding shadows, his gaze sharpening with vigilance. "So swiftly have you devised a counter to my shadow tactics?" The white fox whirled around, transforming into a blur as it charged with extreme speed towards the exposed Liang Yuan. At this juncture, Liang Yuan no longer attempted to evade; he willed it. Bang! His entire being dissolved into a mist of blood, his genes recombining, the blood mist condensing, and in an instant, re-forming into a colossal Ice Bear! The Ice Bear was encased in Ice Armor, the surrounding atmosphere rapidly solidifying. The white fox exhibited a flicker of apprehension, and as its claw lashed out towards Liang Yuan, his bear paw met it with a ferocious counter-slap! Boom! The two forces collided, and with a single blow, the white fox was sent hurtling backward. Liang Yuan remained unmoving, his massive form surging forward in pursuit. His enormous physique felt incredibly confined within the confines of the underground laboratory. To safeguard the valuable experimental apparatus, Liang Yuan swiftly gathered all the equipment. In the blink of an eye, the entirety of the laboratory’s equipment vanished into his inventory. Only the experimental personnel sprawled on the floor and the various experiment pods affixed to the walls remained. Liang Yuan extended his reach and seized the white fox that had been violently thrown. But precisely then, a swift, air-tearing sound emanated from behind him. Startled, Liang Yuan’s Ice Armor instantly hardened, enveloping him in a thick layer of ice. Boom! The ice layer was struck, emitting a deafening, shattering roar. Concurrently, as Liang Yuan glanced back, he perceived nothing but emptiness behind him. He frowned, a sudden realization dawning. "An illusion!" This white fox's spiritual power was subtly infiltrating and manipulating his visual perception. "So, what I struck just now might not have been its true form?" A sense of unease settled in Liang Yuan's heart. He then scoffed, "Illusion techniques—a mere trifle." He unleashed his spiritual power without reservation, and in the next instant, a series of popping sounds resounded. Every fluorescent tube in the laboratory shattered. Simultaneously, the laboratory was plunged into absolute darkness. Liang Yuan’s form dispersed instantaneously, transforming into a monstrous black dragon! The Dark Abyss Shadow Dragon! In his Dark Abyss Shadow Dragon form, he opened his maw, and his innate ability, the Dark Abyss Mouth, activated immediately. The enveloping darkness began to voraciously consume everything in its vicinity. Dragging all living entities into the Shadow World. Rumble! As if sensing the imminent danger, the white fox abruptly smashed against the iron wall before hastily retreating. Liang Yuan sneered, poised to give chase. Abruptly, the laboratory’s alarms blared to life. The piercing, wailing siren filled the air. Liang Yuan paused for a beat, his gaze drifting towards the researchers on the ground who had not yet been fully engulfed by the Dark Abyss Mouth. He hesitated for a moment but ultimately opted not to pursue. "These researchers represent the greatest asset and must be taken along." For any power to flourish, merely satisfying basic needs is insufficient; research capability must advance in tandem. Liang Yuan required these highly educated intellectuals and researchers to expand the capabilities of Yangshan’s institute. Thus, he made the decision to allow experimental subject No. 932, the transformed fox, to escape. The Dark Abyss Mouth continued its relentless consumption, nearing the point of engulfing Dr. An.

Dr. An's eyes snapped open, his body propelled into action with surprising swiftness.

Simultaneously, a dark crimson instrument was flung from his hand!

Liang Yuan gasped, startled, "You—"

Rumble!

The dark red device detonated with tremendous force, unleashing devastating psychic waves in every direction.

Liang Yuan, caught completely unaware, was engulfed by the spiritual onslaught from the exploding artifact.

Instantly, a wave of dizziness washed over him. Without a second thought, the very fabric of space around him buckled, and in a blink, he retreated into the Sumeru Space.

An unnatural silence descended upon the dimly lit laboratory.

As the ethereal psychic blast dissipated, Dr. An rose from his position on the floor in the corner.

A third eye materialized on his forehead.

This newly formed eye rapidly scanned the surroundings, but finding no sign of Liang Yuan, Dr. An's brow furrowed in frustration.

"He escaped?"

Dr. An marveled aloud, "To withstand a high-pressure Spiritual Explosion Bomb and still manage to escape… just how potent is that Yangshan kid’s Spiritual Power?"

He was inwardly astonished. That high-pressure Spiritual Explosion Bomb was a formidable superpower weapon he had personally developed.

Its very name betrayed its purpose: a weapon designed for psychic devastation.

Its operational principle mirrored that of a conventional bomb, involving Psychic Runes compressed repeatedly and housed within a specialized golden casing.

This golden device was engineered to offer a degree of defense against Spiritual Power.

Upon activation, a massive surge of Spiritual Power erupted from the internal runes in a compressed timeframe, culminating in an explosive psychic detonation.

This singular, potent burst of Spiritual Energy was equivalent to the combined full-force assault of two mid-tier Spirit Class Genetic Species.

Dr. An had fully expected Liang Yuan to be instantly incapacitated by the blast.

However, he had underestimated Liang Yuan's caution; the very instant dizziness assailed him, Liang Yuan had invoked the Sumeru Space to seek refuge.

Dr. An surveyed the desolate laboratory; his brow remained deeply furrowed. All the laboratory personnel and essential equipment had already been absconded with by Liang Yuan.

He took a heavy breath, "If I had foreseen this, I would have ordered the personnel to stand down and moved the equipment beforehand."

Flames of fury flickered across his countenance as he quickly turned to depart.

"Fortunately, the most crucial technologies are secured on encrypted hard drives; otherwise, it would have been a complete write-off."

Stepping out of the laboratory, he was greeted by a blizzard of heavy snow. Against the white expanse of the sky, beams of light pierced through, revealing the intricate lines of a massive Rune Array that had been erected.

Dr. An gazed up at the formidable array, let out a sigh, and bellowed, "Come out, he’s gone."

Abruptly, from beyond the perimeter of the array, a white figure materialized with astonishing speed.

It was a woman with hair as white as snow – none other than Experiment 932.

She had evidently undergone a transformation, shifting from her true form, a white fox, into a human guise.

It transpired that her earlier withdrawal was a calculated ploy, a ruse designed to lure Liang Yuan out of the laboratory's confines.

This Rune Array, he surmised, must have been meticulously prepared long in advance.

Within the confines of the Sumeru Space, Liang Yuan remained momentarily stunned, swiftly channeling his Spiritual Power to counteract the lingering aftershocks of the psychic explosion.

In a remarkably short period, he had fully recovered his senses.

He shook his head and drew a deep, steadying breath.

"How utterly insidious!"

"Yuan Shijie's laboratory harbored a hidden master all along."

"And given that Yuan Shijie possessed such a devastating Spiritual Power bomb, why did he refrain from deploying it initially at Cangqiong Mountain?"

Liang Yuan could clearly discern that had he not reacted with his earlier evasion, that potent Spiritual Power bomb would have undoubtedly inflicted serious injury.

The psychic wave generated by the explosion at that very moment had undeniably surpassed a strength rating of 100 points in the Main Attribute!

Verily, technology stands as the paramount productive force.

The relentless advancement in the military's superpower techniques had progressed at an astonishing pace; they had even managed to develop armaments capable of posing a serious threat to mid-tier Superpower Users within the Genetic Map.

"Dr. An… what exactly is his true origin?"

Liang Yuan inhaled deeply, and once his Spiritual Power had definitively stabilized, he promptly exited the Sumeru Space, rematerializing within the oppressive darkness of the laboratory.

He commenced a thorough scan of his surroundings using his Spiritual Power, and Liang Yuan's expression shifted subtly.

He discovered that every single experiment pod had been breached, and the subjects contained within had mysteriously vanished.

Liang Yuan hastened his steps, exiting the laboratory and reaching the external world.

Chaos reigned supreme; the external military forces were also erupting in panicked shouts.

A significant contingent of the experimental subjects had broken free from the laboratory, launching a frenzied, indiscriminate assault upon the unsuspecting soldiers.

Liang Yuan's gaze darted rapidly across the pandemonium, yet he failed to detect the presence of either Dr. An or Experiment 932.

At this critical juncture, several dozen figures soared rapidly through the air overhead.

"Eliminate the rogue experiment subjects!"

"Affirmative!"

Responding instantly to the command, these figures dispersed with haste, each individual relentlessly pursuing the escaped subjects from the military base.

Instantly, the primary figure’s attention became fixed upon Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan, in turn, met his gaze.

The man appeared to be in his forties, yet Superpower Users, upon embarking on the path of evolution, tended to retain a youthful appearance, showing signs of rejuvenation.

This implied that the man’s true age likely exceeded forty, potentially even reaching fifty or sixty.

The newcomer descended before Liang Yuan, observing him from a superior height.

"Yangshan Liang Yuan?"

Liang Yuan’s eyebrow arched slightly. "Are you affiliated with the Dove Faction?"

"I am Feng Jiangong of the Dove Faction. Did you release these experimental subjects?" His inquiry was direct, carrying a serious, almost interrogative weight.

It was the commanding tone naturally attained through years of occupying a high position.

Liang Yuan felt an immediate sense of aversion. "Dove Faction’s Feng Jiangong? The military’s renowned top expert?" he retorted coldly.

"I am asking if you released these experimental subjects, yes or no?"

"So what if I did, and so what if I didn’t? You are aware these are experimental subjects; one presumes you also know that the Hawk Faction was conducting experiments here."

"What is your justification for not intervening earlier, and now emerging to reprimand me?"

"I am genuinely curious about your standing and authority to admonish me here."

Liang Yuan scoffed, showing him absolutely no deference.

Feng Jiangong narrowed his eyes and, in the following instant, bellowed with rage: "Such insolence!"

"Over the years, not a single soul has dared to address me in such a manner!"

Boom!

Feng Jiangong’s body suddenly dissolved into a mist of blood, only to re-coagulate moments later. In the blink of an eye, he had accomplished gene recombination!

The next instant, a colossal figure, reminiscent of a Tyrannosaurus, materialized before Liang Yuan.

The form was colossal, standing approximately twenty meters tall, and radiated an overwhelming pressure that evoked a terrifying sense of impending annihilation!
