Death!

The machine restraining Li Yuan slowly opened, and he flexed his wrist. "That person didn't die, did they?"

"Naturally," Wang Haonan replied.

"Where is 009 being held?"

Li Yuan shook his head. "I'm not sure. I only know we weren't locked up in the same place."

"The Nine-Tailed Fox seems to intend to execute 001 and 004."

"They don't plan to execute you?"

Li Yuan's gaze shifted. "They've been drawing my blood, seemingly to develop some kind of agent, and I'm the raw material for their agent."

Wang Haonan recalled information he'd found in other laboratories.

"It should be Reinforcement Agent No. 01. I saw it at other research bases before."

As he spoke, Wang Haonan took a vial of the agent from his pocket and tossed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan caught the vial and sensed it. "This is Deep One cells. Strange, how did they unlock the cell lock?"

"What cell lock?"

Li Yuan jiggled the vial in his hand. "These cells are inherently infectious, but their infectivity has been locked."

"And only I know how to unlock these cells."

"But now, they've somehow unlocked the cell lock and put them in a state of restricted, constant activation."

"Normally, injecting this agent into a human body would instantly transform them into Fishmen."

"But they used a method to restrict the cells' infection, preventing them from fully transforming the human body. As expected, the anomaly I felt before wasn't for nothing."

"It was worth being captured willingly. This trip was the right decision. Listen to me..."

Li Yuan suddenly chuckled as he spoke. "I have an idea."

"An idea?"

No sooner had Wang Haonan spoken than red lights flashed throughout the base, accompanied by an extremely loud alarm!

"Incident No. 01, containment breach!"

"Delta Extreme Response Force is en route to the uncontrolled area!"

Wang Haonan turned, but Li Yuan shoved him aside.

Facing a group of armed soldiers, Li Yuan suddenly emitted a strange sonic wave.

The wave originated from his abdomen, sounding almost melodic.

Upon hearing Li Yuan's abdominal sounds, the soldiers suddenly clutched their heads and knelt on the ground!

"Urgh, urghhh!"

Fish scales and green skin began to erupt on the soldiers' bodies, their forms rapidly expanding and tearing their uniforms!

Li Yuan turned his head. "These people were all injected with Fishman cells. Though it was only a small amount, as long as I unlock the cell lock, the Fishman cells will transform them instantly."

"I can only say the Nine-Tailed Foxes did me a favor by preparing the groundwork."

"Leave this place to me. That person should have given you other tasks, right?"

Wang Haonan nodded at his words, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

After Wang Haonan left, the Nine-Tailed Fox's newly formed Delta Extreme Response Force had all transformed into Fishmen.

The advantage of this new unit was that all its members had been injected with Fishman cells.

Unfortunately for them, Li Yuan discovered this secret.

"Let's go. Let's see what good things those Nine-Tailed Foxes have collected."

A group of Fishmen, armed with firearms, cleared a path. Li Yuan walked ahead, passing through the laboratory corridors.

Ahead was the light containment area.

Li Yuan looked at the various containment units, and by chance, he discovered a skeletal hand.

A plaque below read:

SRW Designation 009-14: Hand of Greed.

Danger Level: S.

Containment Information:

The Hand of Greed is a derivative of 009. It can move on its own, floating like a phantom hand, and 009-14 has a strong fondness for women's buttocks.

Furthermore, 009-14 can be attached to any limb of a living being. After attachment, the biological entity's will can freely control 009-14.

However, 009-14 possesses a potent memetic mental contamination. Contact will immediately activate the strongest desire within the biological entity's heart, which must then be executed immediately.

Contact with 009-14 is strictly prohibited, and no women are to be present in the vicinity of 009-14.

Li Yuan grinned at this and directly smashed the glass with a punch, entering the containment chamber.

"009's trash creations are quite numerous."

After kicking through the containment facility holding 009-14, the hand emerged and gave Li Yuan a "ye" gesture.

Li Yuan's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at the other containment rooms.

The Hand of Greed immediately followed him, hovering by his side.

"What is this, a killing electric fan?"

009-8: Killing Electric Fan.

Danger Level: RS.

Containment Information: 009-8 appears to be an ordinary electric fan, yet possesses the characteristic of being indestructible.

Furthermore, it must remain powered on 24 hours a day.

Otherwise, 009-8's blades will detach from the main body and, like a propeller, shred all visible living creatures.

Once the facility loses power, all personnel are to immediately evacuate the area. After power is restored, D-class personnel are to enter the facility first to confirm 009-8 is in a powered state.

Li Yuan glanced at it and then silently left.

It's best not to touch this.

That's what he thought, but the Hand of Greed, as if having its own ideas, quietly went over and unplugged the killing electric fan.

After the plug was pulled, the fan blades instantly spun out, shredding glass and rock as they flew out at high speed!

Meanwhile.

Deep Containment Zone.

Wang Haonan found 009, whose entire body was covered in steel nails.

"Yo, long time no see."

009's pupils twitched, but because his tongue and mouth were pierced by steel nails, he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Wang Haonan pulled the steel nail out of his mouth.

"Are you comfortable living here?"

The Splitter moved his head, "Even if you didn't come, my people would come for me. Oh, no, they're already outside."

Wang Haonan smiled faintly at this, "Is that so? But I didn't come to save you."

"I came to kill you."

As Wang Haonan spoke, he casually dug out a monkey-patterned stone from his waistband.

"Look, I just picked it up."

Upon seeing this, the Splitter's pupils contracted. "Hey, hey, hey, don't joke around. I admit I was talking too loudly before!"

Wang Haonan nodded, "You're still talking very loudly now."

"Rat."

With that, a beam of light shot out from the monkey stone in Wang Haonan's hand, hitting the Splitter and instantly turning it into a rat.

The so-called immortality merely meant that the physical body would regenerate infinitely.

Therefore, there were many ways to kill such an immortal.

For example, killing its soul, or altering its body to become that of a mortal.

Or anything that possessed the concept of erasure or obliteration could kill it.

The Splitter, transformed into a rat, was yanked up by Wang Haonan. He picked up a cleaver, and with a swift stroke, chopped off the rat's head.

The rat's body twitched for a moment, then became completely still.

Wang Haonan weighed the stone in his hand. "This thing is really useful."

As he spoke, Wang Haonan spread his fingers, revealing eight more stones.

"At least your death has some value."

With that, Wang Haonan stepped onto the reflective ground and vanished from his spot.

His figure shuttled back and forth between the floor and ceiling, but the corridor was empty.

When the subsequent experimental personnel arrived, they only found a small white rat with its head cut off.
