"Hiss!"
Shen Xiaobai activated the spirit-energy gun in his hand, and a beam like black flame surged forth.
The guard who had run headlong into the three of them had not even raised his weapon before his chest was pierced amid his astonishment. He fell stiffly to the ground.
It was Shen Xiaobai's first time personally taking someone's life. Even with his strong will, once he came back to his senses, he still felt as though he could not breathe. His hands trembled slightly as well. It took him quite a while to recover, and Yang Yao took the opportunity to put another shot into the guard's corpse.
They were already in the experimental zone. After discussing it with Yang Yao, Shen Xiaobai selected a laboratory best suited to serve as a shelter.
The laboratory door was locked. It was not an old-fashioned lock like those on the prison cells, but one that required authorization to open. However, this did not trouble Shen Xiaobai. He connected the Level Two spirit-brain he had just acquired to the lock and rewrote its spirit patterns. Without much effort, he changed the door's access permissions!
"Get ready!" Shen Xiaobai signaled to Yang Yao.
Yang Yao understood at once. She helped Lin Ruixue to one side, then held her spirit-energy gun and hid behind the door.
With a beep, the heavy door slowly opened.
What came into their sight was not only a roomful of experimental instruments, but also four researchers who were clearly natives of the Scarlet Moon Realm.
When these researchers saw Shen Xiaobai and Yang Yao standing at the laboratory entrance with spirit-energy guns in hand, the panic and unease on their faces immediately turned into bewilderment and terror.
They had never imagined that the experimental subjects in the prison area would
