Chapter 048: Death of 009

The machine restraining Li Yuan slowly opened, and he flexed his wrist. "That person didn't die, did they?"

"Of course not," Wang Haonan replied.

"Where is 009 being held?"

Li Yuan shook his head. "I'm not sure. All I know is that we're not being held in the same place. It seems that the Nine-Tailed Fox has plans to execute 001 and 004."

"They're not planning to execute you?"

Li Yuan's gaze shifted. "They've been extracting my blood all along, seemingly to develop some kind of serum, and I'm the raw material for that serum."

Wang Haonan recalled the information he found in other laboratories before. "It should be the No. 01 Enhancement Serum. I saw it at other research bases."

With that, Wang Haonan directly took out a bottle of serum from his pocket and tossed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took the serum and sensed it for a moment. "This is from the Deep Diver's cells. Strange, how did they unlock the cell lock?"

"What cell lock?"

Li Yuan shook the bottle in his hand. "These cells themselves are infectious, but the infectivity is locked."

"The only way to unlock this cell lock is known only to me."

"But now, they don't know what method they used to unlock the cell lock and keep them in a restricted constant activation state."

"Normally, as soon as this serum is injected into a human body, they would instantly be transformed into fish people."

"But they've used a method to limit the cells' infection, preventing the complete transformation of human bodies. Indeed, the anomalies I felt before had a reason behind them."

"Not in vain was I captured proactively; this trip seems to have been worthwhile. Listen to me..."

Li Yuan suddenly chuckled, "I have an idea."

"An idea?"

Before Wang Haonan could finish speaking, the base suddenly lit up with red lights, accompanied by an extremely loud alarm!

"Level 01 incident, containment breach!"

"The Delta Extreme Response Team is rushing to the out-of-control area!"

Wang Haonan turned around, but Li Yuan pushed him aside.

Facing a group of armed soldiers, Li Yuan suddenly emitted a strange sound wave from his abdomen, as if there was some kind of melody.

Upon hearing Li Yuan's abdominal sound, the soldiers suddenly clasped their heads, kneeling down one after another!

"Ugh, ugh!"

Fish scales and green skin began to emerge from the bodies of these soldiers, and their bodies rapidly expanded, tearing through their clothing!

Li Yuan turned around, "These people have all been injected with fish cell extract. Although in small amounts, once I unlock the cell lock, the fish cells will instantly transform them."

"I can only say that the Nine-Tailed Foxes have unwittingly made me a nice wedding dress."

"Leave this to me. That person must have assigned you other tasks, right?"

Wang Haonan nodded at Li Yuan's words and disappeared instantly from the spot.

After Wang Haonan left, the newly established Delta Extreme Response Team of the Nine-Tailed Foxes all transformed into fish people.

The advantage of this new type of unit was that all members had been injected with fish cell extract.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan discovered this secret.

"Let's go, let's see what kind of goodies those Nine-Tailed Foxes have hidden away."

The fish-men soldiers cleared a path, and Li Yuan walked through the corridors of the laboratory.

Ahead was the lightly contained area.

Li Yuan looked at the containment lockers, and by chance, he found a skeletal hand.

Below it was a sign that read:

SRW Number 009-14: Hand of Greed.

Danger Level: S.

Containment Information:

The Hand of Greed is a split from 009, capable of independent movement, floating like a ghostly hand. 009-14 has a strong preference for female buttocks.

Moreover, 009-14 can attach to any part of a living organism's body. Once attached, the biological will can freely control 009-14.

However, 009-14 has a highly contagious memetic effect. Once touched, the strongest desire in the individual's heart will be immediately activated and must be executed immediately.

Contact with 009-14 is strictly prohibited, and no females are allowed in the presence of 009-14.

Li Yuan grinned upon seeing this, directly smashing the glass with a punch and entering the containment room.

"009's junk creations are quite plentiful."

After kicking down the containment facility holding 009-14, the hand emerged and gestured to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan twitched his mouth and then turned to look at the other containment rooms.

The Hand of Greed immediately followed him, floating beside him.

"What's this, a killer fan?"

009-8: Killer Fan.

Danger Level: RS.

Containment Information: 009-8 appears to be an ordinary electric fan but possesses indestructible properties.

It must remain powered on 24 hours a day.

If not, the fan blades of 009-8 will detach from the body and whirl like propellers, slicing through any living creatures in sight.

In the event of a power failure, all personnel must immediately evacuate the area. After power is restored, D-class personnel must enter the facility first to confirm whether 009-8 is in a powered state.

Li Yuan glanced at it and then quietly left.

It's probably best not to touch this one.

That's what he thought, but the Hand of Greed seemed to have other ideas. It quietly went over and unplugged the killer fan.

After unplugging it, the fan blades of the electric fan spun out instantly, slicing through glass and rocks and swiftly flying out!

On the other side.

In the deep containment area.

Wang Haonan found 009 covered in steel nails.

"Hey, long time no see."

009's pupils flickered, but he couldn't speak due to his tongue and mouth being pierced by the nails.

Seeing this, Wang Haonan pulled out the nails from his mouth.

"Are you comfortable living here?"

The Splitter moved his head slightly, "Even if you didn't come, my people would come to find me. Oh no, they're already outside."

Wang Haonan chuckled at this, "Is that so, but I'm not here to save you."

"I'm here to kill you."

As Wang Haonan spoke, he casually picked up a stone with a monkey pattern from his waist.

"Look, I picked this up on the way."

The Splitter's pupils contracted upon seeing this, "Hey, hey, don't joke around. I admit I spoke too loudly before!"

Wang Haonan nodded, "You're still speaking loudly now."

"Rat."

As he spoke, a beam of light shot out from the monkey-patterned stone in Wang Haonan's hand, hitting the Splitter and turning it into a rat instantly.

The so-called immortal body referred only to the infinite restoration of the flesh.

So, there were many ways to kill such an immortal body.

For example, killing its soul, or changing its body to that of a mortal.

Or something with concepts of annihilation or erasure, all could kill it.

The Splitter turned into a rat, lifted by Wang Haonan. He picked up a kitchen knife and, with a swift motion, chopped off the rat's head.

The rat's body twitched for a moment, then fell silent.

Wang Haonan weighed the stone in his hand, "This is really useful."

With that, Wang Haonan disappeared into the reflective surface on the floor, shuttling back and forth between the floor and ceiling, but the corridor was empty.

When the subsequent researchers arrived, all they saw was a decapitated rat.
