The mission concluded successfully after the team dealt with a new breed of monster. Ye Shikai and his team collected samples of the creature and its severed claw for research. Afterward, Ye Shikai visited the Wu Family to bid farewell before heading back to Yanjing, accepting an offer to travel with Wu Yu. Upon arrival in Yanjing, Ye Shikai went directly to the Dragon Teeth base, where he discussed the nature of the monsters with Ouyang Feng.

From this operation, it seems like the organization behind the scenes lost a base and all experimental subjects, which is a significant loss, but their essence remains intact. They took away all their data and results, and what they need to do is find another secret base abroad, recruit a batch of researchers, and start mass-producing the already developed serum. It’s just a matter of time...

Ye Shikai is certain that these people will appear again, and when they do, they’ll be even stronger. A large number of mutants will emerge from their hands, and if these monsters flood into cities, it will be like wolves among sheep, unstoppable, turning everywhere into a "slaughterhouse". These monsters would be difficult for even masters at the Divine Separation stage to handle, let alone their numbers. Once the serum can be mass-produced, there will be as many monsters as there are people, and even a master with outstanding aptitude and abundant cultivation resources would need ten years of practice.

On the other hand, if the HST project isn’t about turning humans into half-human half-beast monsters but simply improving human capabilities and unlocking potential, it would be incredibly powerful. Just one injection could give an ordinary person Divine Separation stage strength...

But the harsh reality is that the organization behind the scenes has fled abroad, where Huaxia can’t reach, and Dragon Teeth cannot investigate there. They can do as they please.

"Dragon Teeth’s mission is to complete the most dangerous tasks, and to achieve that, we can sacrifice our lives," Ouyang Feng said solemnly. The situation was so tricky that, if absolutely necessary, Dragon Teeth must step forward, and each member was prepared to sacrifice. Although Ye Shikai didn’t want to see this happen, in necessary moments, it’s Dragon Teeth’s mission and responsibility.

"I’ll definitely investigate this matter because if it goes on, when thousands of monsters invade Yanjing, even if all Dragon Teeth members go out, it won’t be of help," said Ye Shikai.

"The higher-ups also value this issue, as these monsters seriously threaten the safety of the entire Huaxia. If necessary, we can team up with the National Security Bureau for operations outside," continued Ouyang Feng.

"It seems they also value it, but abroad is different from Huaxia; the National Security Bureau and Dragon Teeth will face many restrictions there." Ye Shikai wanted to use Netherworld Palace’s forces to handle it, but now Netherworld Palace is no longer what it was. After so many events, its power is greatly diminished. The former backbone is gone, and this is also his responsibility; many comrades died because of him.

Under Nightmare’s leadership, Netherworld Palace has recruited many masters, but overall strength is merely 60% of its former self. The key issue is that many leaders have fallen, there is no unity from top to bottom, cohesion is weak, and it will be challenging for Netherworld Palace to deal with the organization behind the scenes.

"The monster corpse we brought back from Hong Kong?" Ye Shikai inquired.

"It should be at the National Security Bureau’s research institute; few people know, and this matter is absolutely confidential," explained Ouyang Feng.

"Alright, let’s take a look."

National Security Bureau, research institute.

The research institute is located underground at the National Security Bureau headquarters; it’s five floors underground, heavily guarded. Without special permission, entry is impossible.

Ye Shikai and Ouyang Feng arrived here and met some members of the Divine Weapon Special Group.

"How’s Shen Wu doing?" Ye Shikai asked.

"She’s awakened, but she’s very self-reproaching. The bureau approved her leave, for rest and emotional relief," Tianjing explained.

"It’s actually not her fault. Given that they already planned to snatch, being alive is already fortunate," Ye Shikai said lightly, indicating that there are indeed skilled cultivators in the organization behind the scenes.

"You’ve come here for the autopsy report of the monster, right?"

"Yes, since the serum results were taken away, this corpse is the only clue," Ye Shikai nodded in agreement.

"After the corpse was brought in, experts at the research institute secretly began examinations. Results will be out soon." Ye Shikai stood in front of the sealed chamber, looking at the monstrous corpse inside. Several people in hazmat suits were examining it. Having been at the National Security Bureau for so long, it’s probably their first time seeing something so terrifying. Half-human, half-crocodile — that’s only one of them. During the mission, Ye Shikai placed a small camera on his chest, capturing all monsters. When the video was played in Jin Li’s office, even he showed a solemn expression.

"In this age, it’s really bizarre. Even such monsters have been created. Do you think there will be more horrifying things in the future?" Tianjing expressed with a sigh.

"No matter the era, there will always be bad people. These monsters, despite their ugliness and ferocity, can’t compare to the hearts of those people."

...............

Ye Shikai wandered around Yanjing for several days before returning to the Chen family. He and Chen Yuxin were still "cold warring", but although she didn’t actively yield, she did send Chen Ruoya to persuade him. Naturally, Ye Shikai returned since Chen Yuxin was pregnant and emotionally volatile. Despite his anger, he still had to fulfill his responsibility as a husband.

"Kai, you’re back." Upon seeing Ye Shikai, Chen Yuxin couldn’t "hold back" anymore and directly hugged him.

"Alright, the case is over, and I’m back to accompany you now." At this moment, even though Ye Shikai still had anger, he couldn’t vent it, lightly comforting Chen Yuxin.

"Kai, you’re not hurt, are you?" Chen Yuxin carefully looked him over, afraid Ye Shikai might have the slightest injury.

"Don’t worry, nothing’s wrong, and see, I’m just fine now," Ye Shikai assured.

"That’s great! I heard from Feng Ling that the task you attended was so dangerous that even Hong Kong’s SAD Special Forces were deployed."

"Don’t make such a fuss; it was just a simple task." Witnessing this, Ye Shikai could only console her. Previously, Su Qingyu also worried, and frankly, every mission Ye Shikai participated in could be described as life-threatening. If it was just a routine operation, he wouldn’t need to participate, as others could handle it.

"For the next period, I’ll stay home with you, alright."
