Chapter 267 Silver-Blooded Freak
Li Hang's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying the penetrating power unique to soldiers.
His gaze lingered for a moment on the mess on the ground and the shivering guests before finally settling back on Lu Yan.
"Captain Lu Yan."
Li Hang took a step forward.
"I have come here to take over this place on secret orders from the military."
He took out a document bag sealed with fireproof material from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.
The document bag was sealed with the sealing wax stamp of the Seventh Detachment.
"The Morning Star Guild is a legitimate enterprise that the military is cooperating with, and its assets are protected by wartime regulations."
Li Hang's voice was calm and steady.
"Your actions constitute malicious damage and illegal intrusion."
"Now, I order the first squad to lay down their weapons, remain in place, and await military investigation."
Zhao Leiguang clenched his fist again as soon as he put the shield down.
He stepped forward, his burly frame blocking Li Hang and Lu Yan, and spoke in a deep, resonant voice.
"Hey bro, did you come to the wrong place?"
"We just wiped out a whole bunch of freaks, and instead of giving you a commendation, you're investigating us?"
Li Hang ignored Zhao Leiguang.
His gaze remained fixed on Lu Yan, and he moved the secret order in his hand forward an inch.
"Captain Lu, please don't put me in a difficult position."
Lu Yan did not look at the secret order.
He walked out from beside Zhao Leiguang, bypassing a pool of silver blood on the ground.
The tactical boots made a slight sound as they stepped on the cracked marble.
He walked towards Li Hang.
Xiao Qianyu's Dragon King Halberd gleamed as its blade lightly scraped across the ground, producing a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
Wen Yue adjusted her posture, and in the scope of the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow, the intersection of the crosshairs remained on Li Hang's forehead.
Li Hang's body tensed up.
He could feel the murderous aura emanating from the building.
He gripped the secret order tightly with his knuckles.
Lu Yan stopped in front of Li Hang.
He did not reach out to take the secret order.
He raised his left hand.
Li Hang's pupils reflected the hand wearing a black tactical glove.
Then, the hand was placed on the back of his neck.
The movements were slow, yet impossible to dodge.
"you……"
Li Hang only managed to utter one word.
The deconstruction code of the Void Disc followed Lu Yan's fingertips and pierced into Li Hang's subcutaneous tissue.
Like an invisible probe, it accurately located the foreign object.
"ah--!"
A scream that sounded inhuman escaped from Li Hang's throat.
His body arched backward suddenly, and his spine made a series of popping sounds.
The secret order in his hand fell to the ground.
Lu Yan exerted force with his five fingers.
puff.
A small, thumb-sized crystal, emitting a faint white light, with blood vessels and nerve tissue, was forcibly peeled off Li Hang's cervical spine.
The instant the crystal leaves the body.
Li Hang's body underwent a dramatic change.
His 7th Squadron standard combat uniform was torn apart by his rapidly expanding muscles.
The skin lost its color, turning into an unhealthy grayish-white.
The bones grow wildly in a way that goes against physiological structure, piercing the skin and forming a rough exoskeleton on the body surface.
His eyes were completely covered by a white film, and his mouth was split open to his ears, from which flowed a thick, silvery liquid.
"roar!"
Without the suppression of the crystal, the vice-captain was completely transformed into a stitched monster made of out-of-control flesh and blood.
It pounced on Lu Yan, who was right next to it.
A loud roar of a heavy chainsaw starting up came from the side.
Shen Xinglin's ever-changing lance has transformed into a high-speed rotating cutting weapon.
He stood like a silent wall in front of Lu Yan.
The chainsaw's teeth precisely cut into the monster's upper thigh.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The monster's exoskeleton was harder than expected.
But it couldn't stop the ever-changing lances.
Both legs were severed at the root.
The monster lost its balance and its upper body crashed heavily to the ground, splattering silver blood everywhere.
The carpet hissed and sizzled as it corroded, emitting pungent white smoke.
It also tried to crawl towards Lu Yan using its arms.
A dark red beam of energy shot from behind and struck its head precisely.
Lin Chuxue was too lazy to even take a step forward.
The energy from the blood explosion blasted out of the monster's head.
No complete organization was left behind.
Lu Yan didn't even glance at the wreckage on the ground.
He inserted the extracted crystal into the data slot of his tactical terminal.
The computing power of the Void Disk is fully activated.
Analysis begins.
The internal structure of the crystal is much simpler than what we saw on the European battlefield.
But it is also more insidious.
On the screen, lines of data streamed down like a waterfall.
Finally, a complete component analysis report was displayed on the screen.
[High-Dimensional Mental Pollution Crystal (Degraded Version)]
[Method of action: Grind into powder, mix with low-level stimulant, absorbed through the digestive system, slowly eroding the central nervous system and establishing a mental anchor.]
Lu Yan shared the report with the entire team.
"Awakening potion?"
Zhao Leiguang's voice was filled with anger.
"These sons of bitches, are they selling this stuff as calcium supplements?"
"Cheaper than calcium supplements."
Wen Yue's voice was cold.
"Many of the unregistered awakening potions circulating in the market come from the alchemy labs of small guilds. They are extremely cheap and difficult to regulate."
"They are targeting newcomers who can't afford the proper medicines but want to take shortcuts."
Xiao Qianyu used the end of her halberd to pick up the military secret order that had been left on the ground.
"Is this also part of their plan?"
Lu Yan's gaze fell on another memory fragment that had just been cracked from Li Hang's crystal on the tactical terminal.
That was an instruction.
[If the "Apocalypse" plan is thwarted, immediately activate the "scapegoating" contingency plan, using military authority to label the First Squad as rebels, and hold them back in Jincheng at all costs.]
Lu Yan closed the terminal.
"They want to use their official status to pin us down here."
He looked up, his gaze sweeping across the chaotic hall before finally settling on the huge hole that Zhao Leiguang had smashed open.
"This situation is bigger than we thought."
Just then.
Boom—
The entire building shook violently.
It's not an illusion.
It was a violent tremor originating from underground.
The hall floor arched upwards to a visible degree before falling heavily back down.
"Something's happened down there!"
Zhao Leiguang roared.
The floor of the thirty-first floor, unable to bear the weight, began to develop huge cracks.
On the walls, the expensive decorative panels have fallen off, revealing the pipes and wiring behind them.
Something is seeping out from the cracks in the wall.
A black, viscous, petroleum-like liquid flowed out along the crack.
It reeked of a mixture of sewer stench and rotting flesh.
Wherever the liquid flows, whether it's metal or cement, it corrodes rapidly, emitting thick black smoke.
The entire building is beginning to disintegrate from the inside.
