Chapter 1606 Chapter 1427: Closing Curtains 3
Even though Alex was mentally prepared after learning they were doing experiment here, his face turned ice-cold after witnessing the revolting rows of 'nourishment cabins' lined up before him. All of them were filled with a mysterious, turbid liquid that seemed to be mixed from knocked-over dyes. Submerged in the liquid were humans. However, they seemed weird as their bodies and limbs were as though some kind of biochemical, mutant specimens. If it weren't for their chests undulating slightly, Alex would have thought that they were dead. But… even if they were alive, perhaps they weren't any different from the dead.
According to that young man, the reason why they captured the men was so they could use the powers of the 'Saint' and modify them, turning them into loyal slaves. Alex also did an experiment on him and discovered that the so-called 'power' in most of them was only stronger and faster in terms of strength, speed, and recovery rate. He also sensed an unusual presence in them, Chaos's energy.
Alex asked his next question.
"I heard you mentioning a woman who Chaos couldn't erode. What is that all about?"
All of a sudden, Alex recalled about it and asked. Upon hearing his question, the man was taken aback and hesitated for a few seconds. But after shifting his attention to the blade pressing against his neck, he sucked in a breath of cold air and told Alex everything he knew. That woman wasn't a native of this place, but was a spoil of war instead. They coincidentally discovered her when wiping out a tribe in the mainland. Back then, she was sealed inside an ice crystal and looked seemingly dead. The researchers sensed a powerful strength in her. They sent out men to dig her out of the ice crystal, brought her here and injected the 'sacred power' inside her. But what was strange was that unlike natives, even though they had injected the power of Chaos into her more than once, she didn't have any reactions. Other natives who were injected with the power of Chaos several times had mutated. But that woman was unaffected at all. Not only that, but even with the Saint doing it himself, he also couldn't affect her in any way. It was due to this reason that this woman was treated as a top secret. And now, they injected the power of Chaos into her at specific timings to observe her responses. What astonished them the most was that even though the woman seemed to be dead, her vital signs didn't disappear.
"Where is that woman now?"
After hearing the young man's description, Alex swirled his eyes and asked. The young man swallowed his saliva and said in lingering fear.
"Experimental Subject Zero… is inside the restricted zone below the core central area. Only the three supervisors have access to that place…"
"Thanks for your cooperation."
Slash.
After getting the information he needed, he slashed the throat of that unfortunate fellow before releasing a ball of black flame to devour him completely. Alex narrowed his eyes and moved forward, disregarding the strange specimens around him.
Shortly after, Alex reached the end of the 'specimen lab', tidied his clothes, and retrieved the ID card of that earlier young man. After allowing the sensor to scan the ID card, the large doors slid open silently. He took advantage of this opportunity and accessed the room.
What presented before him was a wide, spacious, and circular room, which seemed to be the core area of this tower. Hiding in the shadows, he spotted heavily-armored and weapon-wielding soldiers everywhere. Above the podium in the middle, there were three men clad in strange outfits. They discussed softly amongst themselves. He decided not to waste time here and continue.
Using the advantage of the shadows, Alex concealed himself in the darkness and successfully headed to his destination through blending into different patches of shadows. He went closer to the three men and they seemed to be having a fierce debate. Alex wasn't in the mood to eardrop.
"…!"
At that moment, the debate between the trio became fiercer. When Alex approached them silently, all of a sudden one of them seemed to detect something as he swept a glance toward his direction. Then, his expression changed instantly!
Sh*t!
Alex was startled as soon as he saw the change in that man's expression. At that moment, he no longer cared about concealing himself. He leaped up and shuttled out of the shadows, swinging Wrath's sword in his hand abruptly and scattering massive, scorching black flames at them. At the same time, he swung his left arm to the side, where a white trace of light traveled along his fingers and flew out of his fingertips. Then, a dazzling, light exploded. One of his shadow assassins emerged, raising her sword in a battle stance. She grunted and the sword in her hands metamorphosed into blinding thunders that struck at the enemies.
"…!"
Facing this ambush from Alex, the trio was stunned. The man who seemed to be their leader widened his mouth and yelled, before pointing his finger forward. Shortly after, a transparent barrier appeared before them, stopping Alex's attack forcefully. But it was a pity that Alex had anticipated this response from them, which was why he released the black flames instantly. His blade ,tangled with black flames, slammed into the barrier heavily. At the next moment, the sturdy barrier shattered like glass instantly. Not only did it fail to resist Alex's attack, but the magical power in it also lit up in black flames like fuel. In the blink of an eye, the barrier that protected them turned into their own death trap. Like a monster snapping its jaw open, the scorching black flames swallowed the trio entirely. Blood-curdling screeches resounded from within.
But Alex didn't slow down just yet. After dealing this attack, he rolled on the ground and the Wrath's sword turned into a gun, he fired an special flame bullet.
Boom!
A deep explosion ruptured the room immediately. Before the guards reacted, they were swallowed and vanished on the spot.
