Fang Xinhan checked the time on his watch; it was already 10:50 PM.
“Let’s go back first; the footage has already been copied anyway.”
Fang Xinhan recalled his drone and then left the research institute.
And just after Fang Xinhan left, a voice echoed from deep within the institute.
In a sealed, dark chamber, a massive mass of flesh filled the entire space, seemingly muttering something from its mouth.
“Blood… flesh… I… want…”
Fang Xinhan returned to the hotel. Lin Yue was already asleep with Lin Weiwei, while Yuan Qingchen and Qin An were still awake.
“I just heard an explosion; did something happen?”
“It’s a long story. Look at this first.”
The group gathered in front of beleaguer and watched the footage playing on it.
A person, already slightly mutated, was pounding on the glass wall that contained him. The glass wall was clearly covered in his blood.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, a staff member threw a piece of flesh into the sealed glass room.
The person, smelling the fresh blood, ran quickly towards the flesh and began to chew it in large chunks. Immediately after, a strange scene unfolded.
“Ough… ugh… ah… cough”
The person clutched his own neck, making whimpering sounds.
Then, a group of armed personnel rushed in. Just as they placed their hands on the person’s shoulder, a sudden mutation occurred, and countless tentacles instantly sprouted from the person’s body.
Those tentacles broke through the glass wall, and within a mere 10 seconds, everyone was devoured by him.
But the tentacles continued to extend, releasing the mutated animals in the process, and finally, the screen turned to static.
“What in the world was that thing?”
Yuan Qingchen couldn’t help but shiver. The last time he encountered something so sanity-draining was in the Mist Town instance.
“This thing seems to be the Aberrant Mother mentioned in the quest, right?”
Qin An also felt a headache. To fight this boss, they would need heavy firepower, and with just the few of them, it would be too difficult.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan. You guys go to sleep first.”
Fang Xinhan didn’t overthink it. His Alchemy bag was filled with high-tier combat items; any one of them could solve this boss.
But Fang Xinhan didn’t want to expose too many of his trump cards. He first put on a protective suit and synthesized a nuclear bomb from uranium ingots and gunpowder, but Fang Xinhan felt it wasn’t quite safe enough.
After much hesitation, Fang Xinhan still copied the skill SA: Void · “Dimensional Parallel Lines of Woven Space” from Chronos 【Genesis Gun】.
For this, Fang Xinhan used his Great Katana to replicate many blades, acquiring countless brilliant soul fragments and broken, enchanted brilliant soul fragments.
Fang Xinhan carefully selected and found the most numerous and useless Luck enchantments to enchant the Genesis Gun.
〈Item Name: Chronos 【Genesis Gun】〉
〈Type: Weapon〉
〈Kills: 0〉
〈Glory Value: 0〉
〈Forgeries: 0〉
〈Quality: Mythical〉
〈Effect 1: After using SA: Void · “Dimensional Parallel Lines of Woven Space”, erase the opponent’s existence. And this blade will break and disappear.〉
(Note: With this one strike, your existence will be erased, and you will become meaningless.)
Fang Xinhan equipped this SA onto his fluorescence, and at this moment, the combat power of fluorescence soared.
Before, Fang Xinhan needed half an hour to fight Experiment Body Number One with fluorescence, but now he only needed one SA, and the opponent would be six feet under.
Fang Xinhan didn’t know how much health the Aberrant Mother had, but he knew that with just these two blades, he wasn’t enough.
So Fang Xinhan returned to that city again. This time, he held his Great Katana and, without a word, immediately unleashed a Dimensional Slash · Absolute. The Great Katana’s kill count instantly reached a terrifying 5000.
“Holy moly! One Dimensional Slash · Absolute wiped out nearly 4000 zombies!”
Fang Xinhan didn’t stay idle. He filled all the gold capped greatwood staffs, making sure to use everything to its fullest potential, which was Fang Xinhan’s guiding principle.
Then Fang Xinhan took out all the materials for technological innovation.
Then the Great Katana began to evolve: Great Katana → Steel Blade “Primal” → Steel Blade “Nanotechnology” → Spirit Steel Blade “Technological Innovation” → divine steel blade “bloody innovation”.
〈Item: divine steel blade “bloody innovation”〉
〈Type: Weapon〉
〈Kills: 5140〉
〈Glory Value: 18210〉
〈Forgeries: 30〉
〈Quality: Mythical〉
〈Effect 1: SA: 】 - 【 | / 34 < # ! Fires 240 red phantom swords to pierce enemies, dealing massive damage. 10,000,000 EU〉
…
(Note: This is one of the crystallizations of industrial pinnacle achievements; it possesses unparalleled and powerful strength!)
Seeing so many zombies still surging towards Fang Xinhan, Fang Xinhan unhurriedly pulled out two Unnamed “Nameless” blades made from fluorescence.
“Hmm, confirmed no mutated species. Now I can kill freely.”
——————
“Beep beep beep.”
His watch rang; it was almost 4 AM. Fang Xinhan checked the kill count of the Unnamed “Nameless”:
〈Kills: 12091〉
“Over ten thousand already?”
Fang Xinhan was somewhat numb from killing, and the zombies he had killed had already piled up into mountains.
Fang Xinhan looked at the piled-up mountains of corpses, then at himself, covered in blood—of course, not a single drop was his own.
“Anyway, it’s enough. Let’s go back.”
Stepping onto his hoverboard, Fang Xinhan flew towards the suburban hotel. Upon returning to his lodging, Fang Xinhan’s first priority was to rush into the bathroom.
His clothes, mixed with the smell of blood, made even him feel disgusted.
Fang Xinhan filled a tub with water and then stepped into it. Instantly, the clothes on his body became as clean as new.
“Refreshing!”
After he left the bathroom, he stretched, checked the time, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
Meanwhile, in the biological research institute, the massive ball of flesh began to mutate. The huge mass of flesh that originally filled the entire room started to constantly squirm and compress.
Finally, it actually transformed into a person, and that person’s appearance was precisely that of the volunteer.
“There’s Aiketos’s aura here.”
That person could actually speak a complete sentence, and the first thing he said was the name of an evil god, but that person still stood still, unmoving.
On Fang Xinhan’s side, everyone had finished eating, and Fang Xinhan pulled out the nuclear bomb.
And after Fang Xinhan pulled out the nuclear bomb, everyone’s expressions were very colorful.
Lin Yue and Yuan Qingchen’s eyes widened, revealing disbelief.
Qin An’s eyes first showed surprise, then a look of solemnity. He was a member of the Management Bureau, and his mission was to eliminate all people or things that posed a threat to the safety of the people’s lives.
The Management Bureau had classified Fang Xinhan as a Lawful Good alignment. Although he had an Ultraman as a friend, his strength was still within an acceptable range.
However, the nuclear bomb Fang Xinhan produced today completely overturned Qin An’s perception of Fang Xinhan.
【He can just pull out a nuclear bomb at will. If he were an adversary of the Management Bureau and caused chaos in Huaxia, the consequences would be unimaginable.】
Fang Xinhan noticed Qin An’s unease and said,
“This thing is a last resort weapon. Unless absolutely necessary, I don’t plan to use it. Don’t worry, I won’t use it in the real world; after all, it’s a bit inhumane.”
(PS: If I rest tomorrow, I will definitely post a ton of updates!!!)
