Qingyang City.

Yuehai Hotel.

It's the same private room as last time.

But when Luo Yan walked in, he noticed that Hong Dongxing's twin sisters, who he usually kept by his side, were nowhere to be seen today.

Instead, another woman took her place.

She had long, straight black hair, wore glasses, and was extremely beautiful, but her expression was almost blank, and her eyes lacked warmth.

Guan Qi!

"Xiao Luo, let me introduce myself."

Hong Dongxing personally brewed tea. "This is Miss Guan Qi."

"Miss Guan Qi has done us a great favor this time. Just like I said in the message, we found Chu Zhao."

Luo Yan glanced at Guan Qi and nodded slightly.

Just as Hong Dongxing said, the reason he came to Yuehai today is because this man said he has found Chu Zhao.

Unexpected.

He actually sought help from Guan Qi and 'Nine Phoenix'.

Hong Dongxing seemed unaware that Luo Yan and Guan Qi already knew each other, and laughed, "I've been looking for that old bastard Chu Zhao, but that old thing is hiding too well."

"And to be honest, finding people isn't my forte."

"It's better to leave professional matters to the experts."

"Ms. Guan Qi and her team are experts in this field."

Guan Qi responded politely, "You flatter me."

Next, place a tablet computer on the table.

"Chu Zhao's hiding place is here."

"In a remote Undercity more than 200 kilometers away from the underground city."

"That town was originally a base, but it was later abandoned. But now it seems that this is just the surface."

"The Chu Family must have secretly taken over that town and then made many arrangements in secret."

"We found that the town's power station is operating normally and there is a water supply."

"There is a small Food Processing Plant that can meet the daily needs of hundreds of people."

"These are photos we took with a drone."

A photo appeared on the computer screen; the photo showed an office building.

Looking through the window, you can see an elderly man working inside.

This old man is Chu Zhao.

Hong Dongxing looked at Luo Yan: "Classmate Luo, when do you think we should make our move?"

"Action?"

Luo Yan looked at the computer and said, "We don't need to take action ourselves."

"Chu Zhao is a wanted criminal now, so any action will be taken by the Qingyang City authorities."

"Could you give me the coordinates of this town?"

An unnamed town.

night.

Chu Zhao stood by the window, looking at the town lights flickering in the darkness.

This is one of his trump cards.

Two years ago, when this Surface Base was abandoned, Chu Zhao used his wealth and influence to secretly take over it without alerting anyone.

Subsequently, a huge experimental base was built underground.

The laboratory in the Nursery Garden was only used for conducting research on some branch projects, and to collect cells and data of some giant beasts by utilizing the Forbidden Land where it was located.

"Dad, it's windy in here, let's come inside."

Chu Tianmei came over with a coat in her hand.

He draped the coat over his elderly father's shoulders.

Chu Zhao looked out the window and said, "I've forgotten how long it's been since I've seen a real night sky."

He pointed to the sky above the town. "Look, now that there are no humans on Earth, the night sky has become clearer and more beautiful."

"I remember only seeing nights like this when I was a child, living in the countryside."

Chu Zhao turned around and said softly, "Time flies."

He looked at his daughter.

"I still remember holding you in the nurse's arms when you were just born."

"Open your eyes and look at me."

"At that moment, I swore that I, Chu Zhao, would protect you with my entire life."

"Protect my family."

"Unfortunately, I cannot protect your mother."

"But those people from Qingyang City, don't even think about bullying my children."

Chu Tianmei helped her father up. "Dad, can Qingyang City agree to our demands?"

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Specimen Zero is ready for actual combat. Later, I'll have it 'perform' a little."

"After seeing its performance, I believe Qingyang City knows what to do."

"Unfortunately, the success of Specimen Zero was a fluke and cannot be replicated."

"So up to now, including the one that was destroyed, we have ten test subjects."

"They all originated from Specimen Zero."

"But none of them can compare to Specimen Zero."

"None of them can break through the limits of ordinary life forms and reach the size of a behemoth."

"Otherwise, not only Qingyang City, but other Undercity will have to live at the mercy of the Chu Family from now on."

Chu Tianmei asked softly, "Dad, what exactly is Specimen Zero?"

Chu Zhao glanced at her. "You'll find out soon enough."

As they left the office, a breeze blew, lifting several documents from the table.

One of the documents was blown to the ground.

There was a photograph on that document.

The photo appears to show a culture tank, but it is enormous; a person standing in front of it looks like an ant.

A dark shadow could be vaguely seen in the culture tank, and that shadow occupied almost every corner of the culture tank.

now.

Outside the town.

On a high slope, figures emerged one after another, looking down at the brightly lit town below.

Shen Biao put down his binoculars and sighed, "If it weren't for the information provided by Xiao Luo, it would probably have taken us much longer to find this town."

Dressed in black, carrying Star Splitter on his back, Luo Yan lay prone on the ground next to Shen Biao.

The night wind tousled his black hair, and beneath the fluttering strands, a pair of red eyes burned quietly in the darkness like blazing, bright flames.

He looked at the office building in Guan Qi's photo and said, "Chu Zhao's family should live in that building."

Shen Biao nodded. He had just looked through his binoculars and saw that the small building was heavily guarded.

It is indeed possible that Chu Zhao lives in that building.

"Our mission this time is to find out what Chu Zhao's trump card is."

"Of course, judging from the last incident, Chu Zhao may possess other 'biological weapons,' and more than one."

"But if that's all, it probably won't be enough to challenge the Undercity."

"Therefore, we need to find out his background so that the army can use a large force to attack this town."

"This is the top priority."

"If we can capture Chu Zhao and his children while ensuring the primary objective is achieved, that would be ideal."

"Therefore, Xiao Luo and I will go investigate that building later."

"Go and investigate other places."

"Remember, try to keep things secret as much as possible."

After giving some instructions, Shen Biao made a hand gesture.

The group dispersed; the operation began!

Luo Yan slid down the slope with Shen Biao.

After obtaining the town's coordinates during the day, he notified the military corps.

The corps quickly planned the operation.

Luo Yan also requested to participate.

That's why I'm with Shen Biao now.

After infiltrating the town.

Luo Yan and Shen Biao moved silently through the middle of the building.

Presumably to avoid attracting attention, there are very few people in the buildings on the ground.

This benefited Luo Yan.

Not long after.

They had arrived near the office building.

Outside the office building, a wire fence was erected, and several SUV were parked there.

Furthermore, there were Mercenaries patrolling the area, making it seem like infiltrating wouldn't be an easy task.
