109. The Final Enemy

  【Jane Neria has left the team】

  【Qiu Ran has left the team】

  They all left, and it's good they did.

  Although the Metro Brotherhood is likable, these people are more realistic than anyone else.

  Agreeing to accept the Camity-ied experimental subjects would not only bring in a group of young adults to expand the force, but these teenagers with Omega Energy are also good soldier material.

  How many of them actually return home in the end?

  Li Aozi doesn't kher, the hope is very slim.

  People from the Frost-Pted Republic might have a ce to go home, but after being away from society for years, they might have long been decred dead, making it very difficult to find their retives.

  Returning with their identity as Abyss Humanitarian experimental subjects, would the researd human experiments in the Abyss lead to their silence by the Frost-Pted Republic?

  But what about the experimental subjects from the Outnds?

  Most of them might e from wanderer families inds, with no fixed residend no tact with each other, making it impossible to reuh their families.

  Besides, they were taken since childhood, stayed in Abyss Humanitarian for a long time, many children haven't even reached adulthood, and hardly have any survival skills.

  Li Aozi could only choose to hand them over to the Metro Brotherhood, at least in this collective, they could rely on their Omega Energy power to support themselves.

  It’s always better than staying in Abyss Humanitarian aually being made into Camity Armament.

  "I've done all I , the rest is up to their own fate."

  Li Aozi shook his head.

  There's no charity inds, everyone hardly take care of themselves. Even if he's doing this, it's out of selfishness, for his own peaind.

  After all, pared to being a hero, Li Aozi prefers to be a happy fool. As long as he doesn't add points to 【Intelligence】 or 【Willpower】, he won't feel pain.

  "Thinking about how to make the world better is a matter for philosophers and revolutionaries, I just want to hitch a ride and wait for enjoyment."

  Li Aozi felt relieved, now that Qiu Ran was sent away, with no more s, he could let loose.

  "The Domination form is still too scary. Now, iire Azure Star, I'm the only real 【Mutant】. If I transform in front of people, I'll probably be seen as an alien or a monster, right?"

  He walked up the stairs, returo the hall of the third-floor power room, and just as he pushed the door, the charging barrel of a Magnum explosive gun immediately poi him.

  "Aren't you going to give me an expnation?"

  Du Zexin tilted his head and said indifferently.

  "Your body is quite good, waking up like this, but you sound like a resentful woman—" Li Aozi teased.

  He just fot that in the Frost-Pted Republic, people's views are more liberal. Du Zexin leaned back slightly, cautiously saying:

  "Sorry, my sexual orientation is very normal, I'm a servative."

  "It's okay, it's okay, straight men are fioo—"

  Li Aozi spread his hands, before he finished speaking, the gravitational field instantly captured the oppo, flinging him upwards, and Du Zexin was immediately smmed into the ceiling.

  Bang!

  Before he could adapt to the sense of dire, Li Aozi's bde was already poi his throat:

  "I spared you, why are you pointing at me now?"

  The auxiliary monitor of [Beautiful Wishes beta] was emitting white light, Li Aozi pursed his lips and whispered:

  "Turn off the recorder and the bck box, Du Zexin."

  Du Zexin stopped resisting as well. Li Aozi didn't have any killing i, so fighting was meaningless, and the various indicathts on his body were all turned off.

  Li Aozi shrugged, if the Omega Energy in his hands wasn't 【Gravity】, Du Zexin would probably be dead here.

  "Don't be nervous, Du-mei— Mr. Du Zexin, I have no ill iions towards you."

  "No ill iions?"

  Lying spread-eagle on the ceiling, with a ko his neck, Du Zexin found the statement absurd.

  "Tell me, what do you mean by no ill iions?"

  "You're a smart person, I won't argue with you—how about this, I just hree senteo dispel yuard."

  Du Zexin tilted his head, showing no cealment of his pt.

  Li Aozi deliberately lowered his voice, saying:

  "First sentence: David Lin was secretly tried by the Gemini Pad imprisoned on Elf Isnd."

  Du Zexin was taken aback, quite shocked.

  "Sed sentence: Frost-Pted Republic President Medvey Ostrovya and Tianhuan Prime Minister Chi Jieya couldn't rea agreement on the disputed territory issue, war betweewo tries is only a matter of time."

  Du Zexiracted his . Even through the helmet, Li Aozi could sense his tense nerves.

  "Third sentence: Elf Isnd is on the sea, but there's no water."

  Snap!

  The facepte opened outward, Du Zexin's face was solemn, his deep blue-purple eyes gazed at him, and he asked in a deep voice:

  "Are you from David Lin's side? How do you know these things?"

  Seeing this, Li Aozi smiled aended his hand:

  "Let me introduce myself—I'm Li Aozi, a short-lived ghost with not much time left. From a racial standpoint, I'm also a Frost-Pted person, and people like David Lin, who have aspirations, are what the Frost-Pted nation truly needs."

  Du Zexiated for a moment, relutly shook his hand:

  "You know me, so I won't say much. You iionally left me alive, what do you want from me?"

  "Talking to smart people saves effort."

  Li Aozi nodded, pointing above:

  "Above us, is the inhumane Abyss Humanitarian b—your mission should be to deliver supplies to Abyss Humanitarian, right?"

  "That's right. But I don't know what research Abyss Humanitarian is doing, the higher-ups are also very secretive about it..." Du Zexin nodded.

  "In short, Abyss Humanitarian is uhe orders of the female leaders of the Frost-Pted Republic, dug uhical human experiments here, trying to make all women in the Frost-Pted Republic master Omega Energy—thus pletely achieving a matriarchal society where women are superior to men..."

  Li Aozi briefly veyed Dr. Siqi's information and his own observations to Du Zexin.

  Infant experiments, Camity Armament, ibal, internal power struggles within the Abyss, psychiunications... the more Du Zexin listehe worse his expression became.

  "Have the higher-ups gone mad? It's not enough to pamper women into being privileged, now they want to pletely reverse the gender differehis is totally against nature!"

  Du Zexin couldn't help but curse.

  There was no need for Li Aozi to provide evidehe corpses of Camity Armament were everywhere, those hairless, expressionless, empty-eyed, sickly and deformed teenagers deeply shocked Du Zexin.

  As someone who rose from the bottom, Du Zexin was more easily moved by the sight of teenagers' broken families and wandering bones. He personally walked up to examihe corpses of Camity Armament, and his heart was shaken violently.

  "My try actually did such things for the sake of women... actually harmed these children."

  Du Zexin ched his fists, his emotions turbulent.

  He had only just ehe Law III department with his problem-solving skills, and didn't know what anti-human as the Frost-Pted Republic had itted.

  The gender discrimination issue in the Frost-Pted Republic had reached an anti-human level, which was beyond Du Zexin's imagination.

  "When he sees David Lin's gover fall, his family killed, reformist martyrs dismembered and burned, and Tianhuan taking advantage of the situation to invade... his once fervent patriotism will be pletely extinguished."

  Li Aozi thought to himself.

  He walked to the kneeling Du Zexin and said:

  "If you don't believe me, why not e with me to the sed floor to see for yourself."

  It was hard for Du Zexin not to believe him, but his faith in his try made it difficult to speak to Li Aozi, the 'defector'.

  He shook his head and asked back:

  "You said the sed floor... what's there?"

  "The professor, and the so-called 'Camity-ied'."

  Li Aozi said:

  "I haven't seen a single Camity-ied person along the way, I think it's very likely the professor has already taken a and gathered those ied on the sed floor."

  Du Zexin sighed: "A 【Biochemist】, who should use knowledge and power to save human lives and prevent viral iions, instead uses it in this way..."

  Li Aozi shook his head: "It's hard to say, there are many such people."

  "Then they are all disgusting scum."

  Du Zexin couldn't hide his disgust:

  "For her own curiosity, she even abandoned her own students?"

  "So, what do you think?"

  Li Aozi extended his hand:

  "Will you join me in this battle? This may cause your try to lose powerful force, but if all women gain Omega Energy, the geion of children may be born deformed, mentally retarded, and monstrous."

  "If my try sacrifices humanity, justice, and the future of the geion for such power, then such a try is not one I should fight for."

  Du Zexin was still cautious, although he trusted Li Aozi's words more, it couldn't pletely ge his views.

  "I'll go up with you to see and find the truth."

  Du Zexiended his hand and shook Li Aozi's firmly:

  "This doesn't mean I'm on your side, just a temporary alliance."

  【'Du Zexin' has joined your team】

  【Current favorability: 57 (Ordinary)】

  "That's enough."

  With Du Zexin joining, Li Aozi was more fident in pleting the mission, maybe he wouldn't eveo transform.

  【Domination form】 is a killer move after 【Mutant】 advao Alpha rank (α, the first Greek letter), pyers often rely on transf to unleash a burst, either to take down a boss or to use the increased speed to escape.

  He led Du Zexin into the elevator and pressed the button for the sed floor.

  Beep—

  A probe extended from the trol panel, aimed at Li Aozi, and a syic female voice came from the speaker:

  【Access to this floor requires authorization, please perform iris authentication】

  Li Aozi took out Anna's eyeball and alighe pupil with the camera on the probe.

  The pale red sing light swept over the eyeball repeatedly, flickered for a moment, and the elevator started to operate.

  【Authentication successful】

  【Proceeding to—Basement Level 2】

  Li Aozi had just put away the eyeball, looking rexed.

  Suddenly, Du Zexin, with high 【Intelligence】, realized something, sing the elevator and notig drag marks on the ground. He then looked at Li Aozi and asked:

  "Where is Professor Anna's body?"

  "What body?"

  Li Aozi blurted out, then froze.

  ——When they came over, Professor Anna's body was o be seen.

  Not only that, when Li Aozi carefully recalled, he suddenly realized that the body of Nurse Nordli, whom he had left in the ICU ward, also seemed to have mysteriously disappeared when he escorted Qiu Ran and the others away.

  Anna, Nordli... their bodies were all gone.

  Before Li Aozi could react to the eeriness and causal retionships, the elevator shook.

  【Arrived at Basement Level 2】
