Moss Hut Shelter Invades: Operation Drive the Wolf to Swallow the Tiger

Inside the Underground Laboratory at Johnk Zoo.

Preparations were underway for a crucial operation.

Blood Bone, an Executive of the Mechanical Vanguard Society, looked nothing like he had when he first appeared.

Of his four mechanical limbs, only one arm remained intact. The other three were damaged or melted.

His torso was badly damaged too.

But he was still alive, though unconscious.

Mona's analysis gave Yu Yuan a better understanding of the operation.

She had spent so much time in the Genetic Modification Laboratory lately that she had become familiar with its equipment.

As she watched the Control
