At the Door

"Are there members of the Hero Association causing trouble in front of our House of Evolution?"

Dr. Genus looked surprised and somewhat puzzled as he listened to his subordinate's report.

Although his House of Evolution is still a dark laboratory, it is no longer a concentration camp for Monsters. So why would a hero come here?

Not to mention Vegapunk and the other two joined the Hero Association. The Hero Association is truly indiscriminate; as long as you don't harm humans and fight Monsters after joining, you can be considered to have been "redeemed."

"Could it be that Zombieman? Is he here to cause trouble again?"

Dr. Genus thought for a moment and couldn't help but recall the experimental subject he had created. The Zombieman's strength and physique were only at the peak of ordinary humans, yet he possessed an almost Immortal Body that allowed him to be reborn from a drop of blood.

It has almost become the norm for the products of human experimentation to rebel against their creators, and this Zombieman is no exception. His relationship with the House of Evolution has never been good.

However, although the Zombieman has strong regenerative abilities, his destructive power is not that great. He relies on firearms and other weapons in battle. With his abilities alone, he really wouldn't dare to cause trouble at the House of Evolution. He 'Immortal Body; if you just fill him with cement and sink him into the sea, that would probably be more terrifying than death.

Dr. Genus had no particular interest in the failed experiment, so the two sides remained at peace for the time being.

"No, the main body, it seems like the outsiders are from the Blizzard Group?"

One of Dr. Genus's clones frowned and spoke.

"The Blizzard Group? What's that?"

Dr. Genus blinked, looking completely bewildered. To put it bluntly, the Blizzard Group, established by Hellish Blizzard, was only somewhat famous among B-Class Hero, and had absolutely no reputation within the entire Hero Association.

Although Dr. Genus has some information about the Hero Association, he only pays attention to heroes in the top A-rank. Of course, he doesn't know anything about things like the Blizzard Group.

"It seems to be a small group of B-Class Hero banding together! As for why they came here... it's to recruit Vegapunk, Mosquito Girl, and Carnage Kabuto?"

"What the hell? A bunch of B-Class Hero causing trouble at the House of Evolution! Are all the Monsters under our command dead?! Get them out of here!"

Clang, clang, rumble, rumble.

The Blizzard Group spent a long time smashing things in front of the House of Evolution, but apart from hurting their own fists, they received no feedback whatsoever.

"Lady Fubuki, shouldn't we come back another time?"

Looking at the gate that had been smashed for so long without even a scratch, a burly man asked Fubuki somewhat guiltily.

In the Hero Association's classification, the lowest-ranking C-class heroes are no different from ordinary people. Even the top-ranked C-class hero, the so-called Mumen Rider, is only capable of fighting three to five ordinary soldiers at most, and is about the same as some martial arts masters.

Once you reach Rank B, your combat power is basically beyond what ordinary people can train to achieve, and your physical abilities are roughly equivalent to those of characters like Black Widow, Hawk Eyes, Captain America, and Black Panther from American comics.

However, the fact that such a group of B-Class Hero couldn't even open a gate, or even leave a trace, made the members of the Blizzard Group a little uneasy.

You should know that the entire House of House of Evolution building is made of the same material! If you can't break open the door, you naturally can't break open the windows, let alone the walls.

This level of defense is almost comparable to the Hero Association, right? It doesn't look like a hideout that three B-Class Hero could create.

Fubuki was also a little unsure. Thanks to her older sister, the number one B-rank hero, she had truly seen the big scenes and knew just how monstrous the strength of those top monsters and heroes could be.

Therefore, she also knew very well that some monsters could not be faked by simply having a large number of people!

"Alright, then our Blizzard Group will give them face for now..."

With a whoosh, before Fubuki could finish speaking, the door to the House of Evolution suddenly opened.

A tall, muscular man with a face somewhat resembling Takenori Akagi stepped out. This was the strongest Monsters in the House of Evolution besides Vegapunk and the other two— the Armored Gorilla.

"You rude bastards, do you want to die?!"

The terrifying aura swept over them, causing the members of the Blizzard Group to turn pale and retreat repeatedly.

The Armored Gorilla isn't particularly strong, but compared to these B-level cannon fodder heroes, it's far superior!

The original Armored Gorilla was already considered to be at the early stage of the Demon-level. To deal with him, it would be necessary to have S-Class Hero or a top-ranked A-class hero take action.

Not to mention the current Armored Gorilla, which has been enhanced by Vegapunk and has learned Armament Haki and Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Even the lower-ranked S-Class Hero would be crushed if they encountered the current Armored Gorilla!

Despite her grim expression, Hellish Blizzard stepped forward. Her strange superpowers caused even the pebbles inside to tremble slightly, blocking the terrifying aura of the Armored Gorilla.

"Who are you? Are you also a member of the House of Evolution? Where are Vegapunk and the other two?"

"A superpowered person! That's quite rare!"

The Armored Gorilla completely ignored Fubuki's question. His eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly seemed to remember something and muttered something to himself:

"By the way, our House of Evolution is now a proper Laboratory... We can no longer just snatch back any good experimental materials we see..."

Although the Armored Gorilla lowered his voice, he was a big, loud Monsters, and with Hellish Blizzard so close to him, plus the fact that superpowered people have sharp hearing and keen senses, he naturally heard everything clearly.

Hellish Blizzard felt a cold sweat run down her back. Only when she faced the Armored Gorilla did she truly realize that it had definitely crossed the line into S-Class Hero status. If it really wanted to capture her... then she would have no choice but to call for her sister's help!

"Lord Vegapunk isn't here... What do you want with him?"

After realizing that he was no longer the boss and had no conflict with the Hero Association, the Armored Gorilla toned down his imposing manner and asked politely.

"Um... actually, I was thinking of inviting them to join our Blizzard Group. Of course, it's okay if they don't join; we can all be friends!"

Fubuki's tone immediately softened, and behind her, a Blizzard Group's underlings nodded frantically—the other party seemed a bit too strong. Didn't they see that this Masira- like man in front of them was also calling Vegapunk" adult"?

"Make friends? With your..."

The Armored Gorilla's lips twitched, but he didn't laugh out loud; however, the disdain in his tone was palpable.

Fubuki felt a surge of anger, but dared not show it on her face. Even if the man in front of her, who looked like Masira, had reformed, he was definitely not a good person. At the very least, if she beat them up, they would have nowhere to complain.

"Since... since Mr. Vegapunk doesn't welcome us... then let's just forget about it..."

After stammering through a few words, Hellish Blizzard prepared to leave, but just then, the sound of a motorcycle came from afar again.

A motocross motorcycle quickly drove up to the entrance of the House of Evolution, drew an arc, and stopped there.

A man wearing a leather jacket and a helmet jumped off a motorcycle. He was armed to the teeth with pistols, grenades, a submachine gun on his back, and a rocket launcher on the motorcycle.

He removed his helmet, revealing a serious face. The members of the Blizzard Group were immediately shocked upon seeing him.

"S... S-Class Hero! Zombieman!"

"Why would an S-Class Hero be here?!"

The Zombieman glanced at the members of the Blizzard Group, his gaze finally settling on Hellish Blizzard:

"Tatsumaki's sister? What are you doing here? The House of Evolution is extremely dangerous, not some child's play!"

Fubuki opened her mouth, but before she could speak, the Armored Gorilla shoved her aside and walked up to the Zombieman.

"So it was you! The experimental subject who escaped!"

"Huh!? You are..."

The Zombieman was a little confused. As far as he knew, apart from a bunch of Monsters, the only real humans in the entire House of Evolution were Dr. Genus and his clones. Perhaps there were some unlucky human test subjects who had special physical conditions, but once they entered the House of Evolution, they would at least become half a Monsters.

But this guy in front of me, apart from being a bit rough-looking and resembling Masira, is clearly a normal person!

Does this mean Dr. Genus's research has made further progress and he's about to initiate human evolution?

However, the tall man quickly interrupted his thoughts:

"Oh, you don't recognize me? It's probably because I've changed so much. I'm the Armored Gorilla!"

The previously cool-looking Zombieman was suddenly dumbfounded, staring at the tall man:

"Armored... Armored Gorilla... You've turned into a human!"

"This is all thanks to Dr. Vegapunk's research... By the way, what are you doing here at the House of Evolution? We're no longer an illegal Laboratory!"

"Whether it's illegal or not, I'll know after I see it!"

Without hesitation, the Zombieman picked up his weapon and coldly said:

"Get out of my way! I want to see what the House of Evolution is up to!"

"You don't actually think I'm afraid of you, do you? You're just a punching bag that can't die!"

The Armored Gorilla clenched its fist and spoke coldly. Even before it was enhanced, the Armored Gorilla wasn't particularly afraid of the Zombieman. After all, the Zombieman's strength was only slightly greater than that of an ordinary person; he was just more capable of surviving.

The Armored Gorilla can't kill the Zombieman, but the Zombieman also has a hard time dealing with the Armored Gorilla —if he can't outlast it, at least he can run away.

The Armored Gorilla has become much stronger, but in a real fight, the outcome would probably be the same. The Zombieman is like Wolverine from American comics; it's easy to beat him, but extremely difficult to kill him.

The atmosphere between the Armored Gorilla and the Zombieman grew increasingly tense, with a sense of impending confrontation. Just then, the sound of a vehicle could be heard in the distance.

The high-tech-looking hovercar stopped again in front of the House of Evolution. The door opened, and Vegapunk, Mosquito Girl in human form, Carnage Kabuto, and Saitama with his dead fish eyes stepped out.

"What's going on? No one ever comes to the House of Evolution usually, why is it so lively today?!"

Vegapunk frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene before him and asked a question.

The Armored Gorilla, who had initially maintained a serious expression, immediately adopted a fawning tone upon seeing Vegapunk and said:

"They're just some slackers from the Hero Association. Don't worry, sir, I'll get rid of them right away!"

"You're Vegapunk, the newest member of the House of Evolution?!"

The Zombieman looked at the group of people in front of him, frowned and spoke. Then, he glanced at the Mosquito Girl and the Carnage Kabuto.

These two Monsters, unique to the House of Evolution, were indistinguishable from normal humans at this moment. Mosquito Girl looked like a mature and beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure and a charming demeanor, while Carnage Kabuto had a face full of fat and a muscular body, like a bodybuilder.

Even though Zombieman knew their codenames and understood that they were probably transformed Monsters, he still couldn't connect them with the experimental subjects of the House of Evolution.

As for the last bald guy...

"Why bring ordinary people to the House of Evolution? Is the House of Evolution still conducting human experiments?"

The Zombieman spoke coldly, his gaze fixed on Saitama:

"Hey, you bald guy over there, watch out! The House of Evolution is a place where human experiments are frequently conducted!"

"It's okay! They'll pay you!"

Saitama scratched his head. Although he was a little annoyed by the Zombieman's words, he wasn't easily angered by his temper and kindly offered an explanation.

"Are you crazy? This isn't about money. Do you want to be transformed into..."

"Enough! What have you been babbling about since the beginning? How dare you call Saitama 'bald'? Do you want to die? You bastard!"

The one who spoke was the Carnage Kabuto, whose muscles were bursting. This Monsters, the most difficult to control in the House of Evolution, still had a somewhat unruly personality even after eating the Human-Human Fruit created by Vegapunk.

To make this guy behave, Vegapunk simply dragged Caped Baldy over and beat him up. From then on, the Carnage Kabuto became much more obedient.

However, because of this, after being beaten up, the Carnage Kabuto became a loyal admirer of Saitama, and immediately jumped out after hearing the Zombieman's words.

Of course, Saitama always felt that he was making things worse... Didn't this just emphasize that he was bald?
