Chapter 1295: Chapter 1294: Where is the Power of Bonds?

Facing his friend, Zhou Tian was willing to explain a bit more.

"Although Gene Technology allows me to control my cells and stay forever young, it can’t affect my mentality."

As he spoke, Zhou Tian’s face kept changing, as if a layer of plasticine was smeared on his face, from a teenager to a young adult, then to middle-aged and old-aged, and finally back to a teenager.

As the president of the Supreme Council, he mastered the highest level of Gene Technology.

"The longer you live, the more your mentality becomes like that of an elderly man waiting for death. This kind of mentality is neither conducive to life nor to conducting scientific research."

"I have found that continuously stimulating the brain can keep the mindset active."

"Lan Hai, you’re as weak as a chicken, why bother getting involved in this sort of thing? On account of our past friendship, I can spare your life."

Lan Hai was moved. He knew Zhou Tian better than anyone else. Displaying such an attitude meant that Zhou Tian was confident of victory and their resistance was futile.

Surrendering might be a good choice; it could save a life. Thinking this, Lan Hai pointed at Lu Yang and the others and asked, "What about them, can you let them go?"

Zhou Tian shook his head.

Lan Hai silently raised his grenade launcher.

"Take action." Lan Hai gave a hand signal. He was like a male lion whose roar could command countless lionesses to charge into battle. The eight Class A Warriors closed in and struck swiftly.

"This is what you’re forcing me to do, Zhou Tian!" Lan Hai aimed at Zhou Tian, ready to fire the grenade.

𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

One of the Class A Warriors opened his mouth and emitted a silent sonic attack. This was a Subsonic Wave, inaudible to humans but capable of affecting human body functions.

Lan Hai felt nauseated and vomited, falling to the ground and losing the ability to move.

Mi Xue’er was a Genetic Warrior; Yu Ran’s body was mostly mechanical and unaffected.

Lu Yang thought that pretending to feel nauseated and vomiting would be too damaging to his image, so he pretended to resist the Subsonic Wave with sheer willpower.

Mi Xue’er and Yu Ran were quickly overpowered facing the attack of the eight Class A Warriors.

Mi Xue’er took Lan Hai’s grenade launcher and fired twice at Zhou Tian, who was watching the battle. He tilted his head to dodge without even moving his body.

The grenade exploded on the ice wall, but not even a fine crack appeared; the ice cellar was terrifyingly hard.

"Mi Xue’er, opposing the Supreme Council only leads to death!" The leading Class A Warrior’s eyes were bloodshot. He was strong as a bear, overwhelmingly powerful. The mechanical being in front of him was as fragile as paper.

Mi Xue’er could only barely hold her own against him. Each clash made her arms numb, but her astonishing healing abilities prevented her from being defeated.

"Think you’ve got me cornered?"

Mi Xue’er pulled back and drew vials of medicine from her waist. She clutched them in her hand and smashed them at the Class A Warrior.

The vials shattered, and the Class A Warrior screamed in agony, collapsing and convulsing on the ground, scaring the other Class A Warriors from approaching.

"What is this?"

"Anti-Gene Agent?" Zhou Tian raised his eyebrow. No wonder Mi Xue’er dared to break in here; she had concocted such a thing.

With the Anti-Gene Agent in hand, the tide of the battle turned in an instant. Mi Xue’er threw the vials, and every Class A Warrior hit screamed in pain, losing the ability to move.

In just a few breaths, three more Class A Warriors were down on the ground.

"Zhou Tian, surrender!" Mi Xue’er became stronger as she fought, and a faint aura seemed to rise around her.

Zhou Tian was not flustered at all. He took out a remote control and pressed the red button. Mysterious liquid sprayed from the fire sprinklers above.

Mi Xue’er’s expression changed drastically; this was also Anti-Gene Agent!

She tried to run but it was too late. The Anti-Gene Agent splashed on her. It was as if she had fallen into a bucket full of sulfuric acid – she was in agony, and her strength gradually evaporated as the genes that made her strong slowly disintegrated.

Of course, Zhou Tian still wanted to use Mi Xue’er for experiments and had adjusted the concentration of the Anti-Gene Agent so it wouldn’t be fatal.

"Xue’er sister, how are you?" Yu Ran shook Mi Xue’er, hurriedly wiping the Anti-Gene Agent off her body with his clothes.

But the Anti-Gene Agent had already fused into her body, and it was too late to wipe off the surface agent.

Mi Xue’er didn’t answer, only writhing on the ground, wailing in pain.

"Go, capture them; use them all for experiments." Zhou Tian ordered, and the remaining Class A Warriors charged at Lu Yang and the others.

"No, don’t!"

The remnants of Mi Xue’er’s will heard Zhou Tian’s command and murmured softly.

She had grown up in a cold laboratory since childhood; the only warmth she’d known, her grandfather who was a doctor, had died. Now that she had finally found companions, she couldn’t let them fall into danger!

But the Anti-Gene Agent stripped her of her power, and she couldn’t even stand up now.

In her blurred vision, one by one, her companions were captured; her heart raced with anxiety.

Stand up, I have to stand up and save them!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Suddenly, strong and powerful heartbeats came from the ice cellar, not fast, yet creating echoes!

"What’s happening!" Cycle, who had always been confident of victory, became unsettled as something unexpected happened to Mi Xue’er.

Mi Xue’er slowly got up, she wasn’t crawling, but more like being pulled up by some mysterious force as if she were a marionette.

Her golden hair floated, like golden waves, her eyes were blood-red and violent, the air twisted, frigid ice fog hovered, even colder than the ice cellar itself.

"Don’t you dare hurt my friends!"

Mi Xue’er growled quietly, and the Class A Warriors involuntarily released their grip, knelt on the ground, and submitted to Mi Xue’er.

Their gene technology all originated from research on Mi Xue’er.

If the frozen corpses in the ice cellar were Mi Xue’er’s origin, then she was their origin.

This was the pressure of a higher being on lower ones, undeniable, to disobey meant death!

"Has her genetic evolution occurred?" Cycle was ecstatic, Mi Xue’er’s condition perfectly matched the theory of gene evolution.

"The Bloodline has awakened," Lu Yang observed the changes in Mi Xue’er, which should have been a lengthy process, but under the dual pressure of the Anti-Gene Agent and the need to save people, this process was drastically shortened.

Lu Yang thought the Supreme Council was a joke, talking about believing in human strength, and treating Mi Xue’er as the prime subject.

Mi Xue’er was so strong simply because her Bloodline was impure, mixed with that of an Ancient Demon.

It seemed strange to Lu Yang that Mi Xue’er appeared to contain two Bloodlines of an Ancient Demon within her.

"Are you okay?" Lu Yang pulled up Lan Hai and Yu Ran; they hadn’t undergone genetic modification and were unaffected by Mi Xue’er.

Facing those Class A Warriors who lay prostrate on the ground, Mi Xue’er chose to ignore them and went straight for Cycle.

Cycle threw a high concentration of Anti-Gene Agent, attempting to subdue Mi Xue’er, but before it got close to her, it froze into ice crystals and shattered on the ground.

"What?!"

The changes in Mi Xue’er completely overturned his understanding; this could be called a Superpower!

This was unscientific!

Mi Xue’er raised her hand and slapped Cycle into the ice wall, blood gushed out.

Just as Mi Xue’er was about to finish off Cycle, she suddenly staggered, her consciousness withdrawing, drifting deeper into the ice cellar, as if something was calling to her.

Was it the source of her power?

The depths of the ice cellar were pitch black, the battlefield before had obscured what lay frozen here, only now did Mi Xue’er realize what it was.

It was a snow-white rabbit, indistinguishable from pet rabbits seen in the marketplace.

"The Jade Rabbit from Ancient Times," Lu Yang whispered.

Mi Xue’er’s consciousness uncontrollably entered the rabbit’s corpse.

At the moment of entry, thousands of thoughts flooded into her mind—dark, cold, filled with extreme negative emotions.

What is this?

Mi Xue’er felt herself merging with the rabbit, but the rabbit’s negative emotions were also eroding her.

During the process, the Jade Rabbit’s corpse slowly opened its blood-red eyes and merely a wisp of its former presence was enough to crush Cycle’s rib cage piercing his lungs.

No, I cannot be eroded like this, a mere wisp of power killed Cycle, my companions must be in danger as well, if I’m occupied by negative emotions, my companions will undoubtedly die.

Mi Xue’er’s kind consciousness fought against the negative emotions, both sides struggling.

Mi Xue’er looked towards Lu Yang and the others, believing that while she struggled, her companions must also be suffering, their bond could get them through this ordeal.

Then she saw that Lu Yang and the others were completely unaffected by her.

Mi Xue’er: "?"

Negative emotions instantly overtook Mi Xue’er’s consciousness.
