Chapter 436: Vol6 Ch24: Battling to escape from destiny

Without too much hesitation, while the emergency power was still on, Yun Yi took his weapon and approached a dashboard in front of the isolation chamber. He pulled the emergency lever down before taking out a large backpack, put his weapon down nearby and began to load the physical data collected in the research lab into it.

 

Meanwhile, a white gas was being released into the isolation chamber, causing the roaring disaster-infected Desolate to slowly go silent.

 

Since they were treating the disaster-infected Desolates as prey, they naturally had to prepare countermeasures for them. This white gas was one of those countermeasures developed through much research, capable of putting a disaster-infected Desolate into a state of hibernation. For the disaster-infected Desolates whose entire bodies were filled with disaster aura, this was considerably difficult.

 

As the disaster-infected Desolates were filled with disaster aura, they were constantly being plagued by the desire to destroy while also being under the protection of that same disaster aura. Anything that entered their bodies would be attacked by the disaster aura, causing a lot of things to lose their effects against a disaster-infected Desolate.

.

 

To kill a disaster-infected Desolate, one had to use a high-level type of energy, for example, directly killing them with Totems, or using up a large amount of energy to neutralize the aura or find a type of energy that could counteract a disaster-infected Desolate’s energy.

 

The white gas earlier was actually a kind of white fungi spore. After entering a disaster-infected Desolate’s body, while being surrounded by disaster aura, they would begin to rapidly multiply and reproduce to fill the entire disaster-infected Desolate’s body thanks to their overwhelming vitality.

 

Unfortunately, this kind of spore could only be obtained in a usable form through meticulous cultivation that took up a lot of resources.

 

Since they were being attacked from the outside, if these disaster-infected Desolates were released right now, the level of danger inside the research lab would have risen considerably.

 

“Professor Yun Yi” a fully armored man in a security uniform used his ID cards to open the lab door and solemnly told him: “Someone has breached the search lab, this place isn’t safe anymore, please follow us to…”

 

Yun Yi glanced at a blinking red light on the door while continuing to pack up everything he could, then casually asked: “Even after initiating the secondary defense system through emergency power, the situation is still so terrible?”

 

“It is, please evacuate with us to a safe location, professor!” the security personnel answered him in a low voice, carrying a clear tone of urgency.

 

“Got it!” Yun Yi opened a drawer and put the last stack of data into his backpack, then suddenly reached for the cannon on his backpack and fired it. A sharp ray of light shot out and turned into a solid extended blade.

 

The underground research lab’s doors have two different protocols. After it had been switched to the emergency power supply, some of the security measures would be changed. The second protocol wouldn’t suddenly make a safe procedure like scanning ID cards into a dangerous one but would instead force them to scan it twice.

 

Scanning the card once would also open the door, but a normal red light would begin to blink. To make sure whether or not this security guard had simply forgotten, Yun Yi had purposely mentioned a non-existent ‘secondary defense system’, but the other party didn’t react at all.

 

The Celestials were a highly disciplined race, so someone who would make such an elementary mistake would never have been hired as security in a place like this, which meant, the other party simply didn’t know about it.

 

And so, Yun Yi attacked them without hesitation.

 

As the sharp blade of light shot forward, a Totem manifested outside of the imposter’s body, but when that layer of Totem was broken through as well, their real face was revealed with an expression of fear.

 

The cut mark of the blade of light was extremely clean and carried with it a scent of charred meat. The extreme heat from the blade had directly cauterized the cut and made sure that no blood would spill.

 

With a flash of light, Yun Yi’s pupils dilated and put up his cannon to block. A large snake’s head directly bit onto the cannon; its bright red tongue was only inches away from Yun Yi’s face.

 

As the orange snake eyes stared straight at Yun Yi, a tear abruptly opened on top of the snake’s head to reveal a bright red iris. The intense hatred inside it shot out to attack Yun Yi’s mind.

 

This caused Yun Yi’s mind to tremble, manifesting numerous delusions in his mind. With this bright red iris as the trigger, Yun Yi felt like he had just returned to the time when he was imprisoned in the Nanwu tribe.

 

Countless screams and moans resounded from outside, numerous illusions tortured his mind, only the bright red snake eyes said that it would come to save him, telling him to wait.

 

However, there were no Celestials who attacked the Nanwu tribe this time, and no one to take him away, he was stuck here.

The tail of the serpent coiled around Meng Luo’s body as he looked profoundly at Yun Yi, not expecting destiny to be so miraculous.

 

In the past, when he boasted that he would save Yun Yi, that was only to soothe his mind. In reality, he did not care at all about Yun Yi’s survival and prepared to benefit from drawing the attention of the allied tribes during that event.

 

Meng Luo was naturally able to see that Yun Yi wouldn’t have been able to hold on for too long, but why would that matter to him? Arbitrarily saving someone like that was too dangerous.

 

What he didn’t expect was for Yun Yi to be rescued by the Demon race and even become a high-level researcher on the Demon’s side. If that was the case, there were things that he could take advantage of.

 

Meng Luo was currently part of the Desolate alliance’s top brass. He had received the support of many tribes, and as long as he raised it a bit higher, he would become the first President of the Desolate Republic.

 

The Desolate Republic was a collective of over a hundred tribes, so it wasn’t quite easy to choose a leader among them all, so they decided on a presidency.

 

The Warriors of each tribe had a basic 3 votes, a Warrior who had reached the Converging Path had 5 votes, and a Shaman had 10 votes, with everything being decided by an election.

 

Through this method, even though the President was indeed the leader and had a lot of privileges, the power would still be held by the bigger tribes.

 

This type of presentative individual had to have made enough contributions in order to get the votes of the neutral Warriors, Meng Luo was originally responsible for dealing with the Demons, so after learning of Yun Yi’s information, he decided to take advantage of it.

 

They naturally had a mole on the inside in order to infiltrate this underground research lab. Originally, Meng Luo had wanted to kidnap Yun Yi, then put the entire blame of this incident on Yun Yi. In his mind, Yun Yi was a Desolate, not a Demon, so it made natural sense for some people to not trust him.

 

After taking Yun Yi away and firmly placing the traitor brand on him, taking advantage of Yun Yi’s past sentiments, Meng Luo was confident in turning Yun Yi to the Desolate Republic’s side. Not only would he destroy the Demon race’s research weapons, he would also have convinced one of their top researchers to defect, wouldn’t that be exactly the kind of contribution he needed?

 

Never did he think that their identities would be found out, with his plan failing, he only had the option of a forceful abduction left.

 

To achieve the Converging Path and rapidly improve his strength, Meng Luo had used the depriving method several times during the past 5 years, including plenty of bloodshed and cruelty; suppressing and storing all of his victim’s hatred into the bright red iris. Usually, he would keep it hidden and only reveal it at the right moment to attack other people’s minds.

 

Meng Luo had accurately taken advantage of the gap in Yun Yi’s mind and attacked it, causing him to fall into a delusion and taking this chance to take him away.

 

The serpent’s body coiled around Yun Yi in preparation to take him away, only to be pushed off by a snake’s tail. With a snake manifesting on his back as well, Yun Yi looked at Meng Luo and softly muttered: “Long time no see, Meng Luo. I didn’t think you’d actually be able to come here, but let me take a guess of the traitor’s identity”
