Inside the Foundation's base, a group of researchers cheered excitedly.
"Excellent! The experiment was successful. As expected of Executive, our calculations were correct. Only A+ Grade Espers can withstand this version of the serum's power. Have the experimental data been collected?"
"Report, Technical Supervisor, all data has been collected. I believe in less than three days, we will be able to develop an improved enhancement serum that can be used by those below A+ Grade!"
"Good! As expected of Executive, such courage and cooperation are truly a godsend. What are the current data?"
"Report, Executive's vital signs are currently stable, his blood vitality has increased by 50%, his heart rate has reached 120 beats per second, his body temperature has risen to 42 degrees Celsius, his muscle activity..."
Lin Dong looked at the top of Executive's head with a speechless expression.
You went through all that trouble just to go from Level 6 to Level 7?
Hmm, you're only as strong as the weakest maid, Chen Yunxi.
And I was so looking forward to it.
"Come on! Bring it on!" Lin Dong, carrying the frozen fish, beckoned to Executive.
His expression was incredibly arrogant.
Executive's expression was stern: "Arrogant! I will use methods you can't even imagine to make you wish you were dead..."
"Why so much nonsense?" Lin Dong picked his ear.
"Are you going to beat me or not?"
Executive was startled, his expression instantly turning ferocious: "Insolent!"
A golden light burst forth, and in the blink of an eye, Executive became a metal man, his entire body turning golden.
"Oh? I'm quite envious of your ability!" Lin Dong's eyes lit up. If I had this ability before the apocalypse, would I have needed to work so hard delivering packages for 5000 a month?
"Hey, by the way, would your poop also be gold? Then you'd never have to worry about food or drink!"
Executive had already attacked. His metal form was not just for defense like the Shishan and Shimo sisters; he also had the ability to shapeshift.
He stretched out his arms, transforming them into two golden spears that thrust directly at Lin Dong's face.
Lin Dong casually raised his hand, and the frozen fish easily broke the spears, causing Executive's body to stagger backward.
"How is that possible?" Executive's golden pupils were filled with surprise.
What kind of frozen fish is this?
It can break mountains and stones, and also shatter bones and metal?
Is this even reasonable?
"Continue ~" Lin Dong continued to beckon.
Executive finally became cautious, his golden arm slowly liquefying.
Golden droplets fell to the ground, then suddenly floated into the air.
"Go!"
Countless golden water droplets shot out like bullets.
Da da da ~
Lin Dong leaped to dodge, while simultaneously throwing the frozen fish.
"Golden Shield!" A circular golden shield appeared in front of Executive.
Bang!
The violent, powerful force slammed Executive away, as if he had been hit by a rapidly moving train.
The golden shield shattered, and he spewed golden liquid.
Picking up the frozen fish, Lin Dong slightly pouted: "Forget it, you can't beat me, so I'll beat you!"
His body accelerated with a roar, drawing a streak across the ground like a meteor, and he closed in.
Executive was terrified; his confidence had been utterly shattered by two hits from the frozen fish.
"Liquefied Metal!"
As the frozen fish slammed down, Executive's body exploded with a roar, the golden water droplets scattering everywhere, then re-condensing behind him.
"Damn it, what kind of speed is that?" Executive's golden face turned pale. This was his life-saving ultimate move, and he was forced to use it so quickly.
His own strength had already reached S-Grade, yet he still couldn't contend with this man, so...
Is he SS-Grade?
Or SSS-Grade?
He hoped the Research Department could quickly relay this information to headquarters!
"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, Lin Dong's voice sounded from behind, accompanied by a strong whooshing sound.
Executive didn't even think, his body exploded into golden water droplets again. When he tried to re-gather, he was horrified to find Lin Dong staring at him with a cold smile, carrying the frozen fish.
Damn it, I was tricked!
That attack just now was a feint!
Executive really wanted to maintain this dispersed droplet state, but he couldn't. Prolonged dispersion consumed an extraordinary amount of Esper power.
As soon as his figure re-condensed, Lin Dong slammed down again.
Slap!
Dispersed again.
"Keep going. I want to see how many times you can transform?" Lin Dong appeared very patient.
Executive was numb. Although liquefied metal was a bit tricky, it had no offensive capabilities. He was here for revenge, not to play hide-and-seek.
"I'll risk it!" Executive gritted his teeth, his figure condensing again, this time as a solid.
Hearing the whooshing sound approaching again, he immediately conjured a golden shield again.
Bang!
The golden shield shattered, and cracks began to appear in his metal body.
Can't beat him, completely can't beat him!
His gold-element Esper ability was already considered quite formidable among Espers, but in front of this man, he was utterly defenseless!
Just as he was about to change his move, suddenly, both his arms felt a sharp pain.
Lin Dong had swung twice without him noticing, and his arms were forcibly broken off and sent flying.
"Ah!!" Executive was in excruciating pain, and the horror in his heart grew even stronger.
This time, there wasn't even a whooshing sound; he couldn't perceive it at all?
So, he wasn't using his full speed just now; he was just toying with me?
An indescribable fear and anger swept through his entire body, but his internal Esper power was exhausted, and he could no longer maintain his golden body state, reverting to his human form.
"That's all you've got? How boring ~" Lin Dong pouted. He had only used a little more of his strength, and you couldn't take it anymore.
"Hmph! You killed my nephew, even if I die, the Foundation still won't..."
Before he could finish, the fish tail was shoved into Executive's mouth.
Executive was stunned. What was he going to do?
The next second, Lin Dong slid it left and right, and the sharp fish tail instantly tore the corners of his mouth, turning Executive into a clown.
The crack extended from the corners of his mouth all the way to his ears; he could probably swallow a durian whole now.
"Any last words? If not, I'll send you down to meet those twins. With two such excellent companions, I imagine you won't be lonely," Lin Dong said indifferently.
Executive glared at him viciously, his expression finally turning into utter despair.
Facing such a powerful person, all threats were just wasted effort.
"Can you tell me, what... grade is your... strength?"
He had a particle communicator embedded in his body. If he could extract this man's strength level, the Research Department could relay it back to headquarters for countermeasures.
Lin Dong frowned: "What are you talking about? Is it really necessary to speak in a dialect at a time like this?"
Executive: !!!
My mouth is torn!
"I'm trying to say, your..."
"Forget it, I can't understand you. I'll just assume you have no last words!"
Boom!
The frozen fish slammed down suddenly, and Executive's head exploded into tiny golden pieces all over the ground.
Executive, deceased!
Inside the Foundation's base, all the researchers looked as if they had been doused with cold water, staring blankly at the horizontal lines on the large screen.
"Technical Supervisor, Executive's heartbeat... zero, his body temperature is plummeting, his muscle activity..."
"I'm not blind, I can see it!!!" The newly appointed Technical Supervisor roared, looking at the message on the large screen indicating Executive's death, somewhat at a loss.
The sky had fallen!
After closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, the Technical Supervisor finally said coldly: "Everyone, attention. Transmit all current experimental data back to headquarters, and inform headquarters of Executive's death.
Also, this man and his women, send their photos and videos back as well.
Destroy all hard drives, equipment, and paper documents. Initiate the Foundation's self-destruct program.
Countdown thirty minutes, everyone.
Evacuate!!!"
A technician asked: "Technical Supervisor, what about the things on the lowest level? They are not under our control."
The new Technical Supervisor gritted his teeth: "Forget about them, just leave them there. We'll wait for further arrangements from headquarters!"
