Chapter 120: Difficult for You?

The Witch's body, after absorbing the wine-like liquid, could grow tentacles similar to an octopus. In such a liquid, the Witch could rapidly grow and even alter some forms. This means that even if Alex were to decapitate the Witch, as long as he threw her into the pool, she would quickly be restored.

Furthermore, the Witch's body was exceptionally robust. According to Alex's estimation, the Witch's combat power might have already reached the level of his own extraordinary physique. If he were to confront the Witch directly here, Alex had no confidence.

However, the Witch had weaknesses. Alex discovered that the Witch heavily relied on the liquid in the pool and was also highly averse to light. With this knowledge, Alex abandoned his initially planned nocturnal sneak attack.

He decided to confront the estate openly and give it a thorough cleansing during the daylight. Within the estate, the only known adversary capable of standing against Alex appeared to be the Witch. Other mutated individuals, in Alex's view, were not worthy of concern.

Returning from the third floor to the first floor, it was now deep into the night. Aside from a few guards on duty, there was no one in the first-floor hall. This posed a challenge for Alex. Yang Gaoyang and Su Qinggu had also disappeared without a trace.

Given the tight defenses here, wandering aimlessly would undoubtedly lead to trouble. Alex looked around; though the lights on the first floor were still on, it was deserted.

Seizing the opportunity, he decided to explore the situation.

"An Tianwei" walked through the hall and glanced into a room. It was a gym equipped with various fitness equipment, but there was no one inside. Next to the gym was a conference room with neatly arranged tables and chairs, also devoid of any occupants.

Alex circled the first floor and found that its layout was similar to that of an upscale hotel. Apart from one heavily guarded room with special access, there was nothing particularly noteworthy. However, the entrance to that room remained closed. To enter, one needed the corresponding access card, a password, and iris scanning—three layers of security.

Alex attempted to use An Tianwei's access card for the first layer, only to find that it lacked the necessary permissions. Frowning, "An Tianwei" pondered for a moment before deciding to abandon further attempts.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, someone behind him called out, "Tianwei, why are you here? What are you doing here?"

It was the voice of Pei Jiaoli, the person he encountered earlier.

"I just came out from the Witch's chamber and wanted to explore around to relax," Alex replied with hesitation.

Alex suddenly felt a sense of frustration and helplessness. Feeling the passionate embrace of Pei Jiaoli behind him, Alex had an immediate urge to switch back to his real body. However, this was definitely not possible for the time being. But soon, it would be!

"Slap!" An Tianwei was pushed down by Pei Jiaoli. Alex heard a series of urgent sounds and the rustling of leather clothes.

An Tianwei couldn't help but shed tears of humiliation.

After it was all over, An Tianwei seemed to still have plenty of energy. Although Pei Jiaoli and the other two women were exhausted and almost falling asleep, the previously hesitant An Tianwei became interested again.

"Lili, tell me about the room I saw just now. What exactly is in there?" Seeing the three women satisfied and drowsy, Alex started fishing for information.

"That's the elevator leading to the underground laboratory. Ordinary people can't enter, and even I can only go in when there's a mission," Pei Jiaoli said drowsily, her eyes constantly closing. "It's better not to ask too much about these things in the future..."

"What's inside that underground laboratory? How many people are there, and what are they doing down there?" Alex asked again, seeing that Pei Jiaoli wasn't on guard.

"Professor Yang and his students are all inside. They research and develop the evolutionary potions used for body modifications and the virus essence potions we usually use," Pei Jiaoli, enjoying the comfort of An Tianwei's caress, continued, "Recently, Professor Yang's research has made progress again. We might produce a new batch of mutants soon!

I heard that the success rate this time will be significantly higher."

An Tianwei's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Are the red liquids the witch uses also biochemical potions?"

"No..." Pei Jiaoli let out a satisfied sigh, speaking in a drowsy manner, "No, the liquids the witch uses are secretions from the witch herself. We mutants must take this liquid every day. If we don't take it for more than seven days, we will explode and die."

"Do you know why those stinky men are so afraid of the witch?" Pei Jiaoli suddenly realized something and opened her eyes in horror, looking at "An Tianwei" with a startled expression.

But it was too late. "An Tianwei's" hand had already chopped down on Pei Jiaoli's neck.

Pei Jiaoli's vision went black, and she made a muffled groan before fainting.
