Zhu Xiong's gaze hardened, and his fleshy face quivered, "Put down your weapons, don't let me misunderstand, or you'll all turn into hedgehogs."
As soon as his voice fell, more than ten of his team members aimed their crossbows straight at the group, and the corpse monsters clad in iron armor also surrounded them.
And his one First Order Upper Grade huge corpse monster stood in the very front like a small mountain, clad in heavy armor, with its large hammer still dripping blood.
In an instant, the people inside the warehouse retreated a few steps, frightened.
"Wait, we have no intentions of doing anything."
Under the threat of Zhu Xiong, some people quickly couldn't hold on anymore. Although they had weapons in their hands and some of them possessed Angel Envoys, with the ring of hand crossbows on the other side, if they acted, they would definitely be the ones to die.
"Clang"
The iron bar in their hands fell to the ground, and with someone taking the lead, the rest also put down their weapons.
"Humans crouch on the left, Angel Envoys on the right, spaced five meters apart back to back. We won't hurt you; we just want to ensure safety. Now pick a leader and come with me to talk about your situation, got it?"
As the voice fell, there was dead silence; no one dared to respond.
After hemming and hawing for a while, Zhu Xiong glanced and his gaze fell on the man who had been talking earlier.
"You, come with me. Everyone else stay put and start stating your profession and situation one by one. Someone is taking note, so don't lie. Those with abilities will be protected first."
Zhu Xiong left the warehouse with the trembling man, asking as they walked, "Don't be nervous, brother, what's your name, and what do you do?"
"Zhao Kun, I run a small rice noodle factory, this is my family's warehouse."
Upon hearing Zhu Xiong's question, Zhao Kun's heart pounded anxiously, fearing Zhu Xiong did not have good intentions, "Big brother, there's still two or three tons of rice inside. If you want it, take it, just spare me, please."
"You are Zhao Kun?"
Zhu Xiong was somewhat surprised; his truck drivers had received orders from Zhao Kun, but contact was mostly by phone, and Zhu Xiong had never met Zhao Kun in person; it was the drivers who met with him.
"Don't worry, he's an old acquaintance."
Zhu Xiong patted Zhao Kun on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Bingwang is one of my drivers."
"Old Zhou is your driver?"
Zhao Kun's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt an immense relief, "Boss Zhu, it's like a flood washing the Dragon King Temple, our own people, our own family."
In the past, they contacted by phone or transferred money through WeChat, so he had never met them in person, he really didn't remember.
Zhu Xiong cracked a smile, "Tell me honestly about that group of people you're with, and if there's no problem, we're family."
Zhao Kun felt a chill in his heart, but quickly responded, "Brother, the twenty-three people inside are all who gradually sought refuge in the supermarket and gathered together. They're merchants from this street, some are customers... oh, right, there are also two who escaped from some biomedical research facility."
Shu Hongguang and Ji Mingyang quickly nodded. Suddenly, Ji Mingyang caught a glimpse of the woman next to Su Han and hesitated, "Mr. Bai?"
"You recognize me?"
Bai Qilan looked at Ji Mingyang, a flicker of confusion crossing her eyes.
Ji Mingyang hurriedly said, "I saw you once when you inspected the research center."
The research center, invested in and researched by the Bai Yujing Group, naturally had many interactions. As the heir of Bai Yujing and the director of research and development, Bai Qilan naturally made inspections.
"What's the current situation at the Aoke Biological Research Center?"
Bai Qilan didn't probe further on this issue but calmly inquired about the situation.
Ji Mingyang was startled, then quickly said, "Mr. Bai, are you planning to go to the research center? Don't go, there are two clusters of monsters fighting over territory, and most of our people are dead. Only a few of us escaped."
"Give me the details."
A cool voice came from Su Han, causing Ji Mingyang to startle, remembering that Su Han was the true decision-maker here.
He nodded quickly and said, "At first, when the fog descended, there was a large-scale disturbance among our experimental creatures. Then eyes appeared, colleagues turned into flesh corpses, and some of the experimental creatures escaped their cages, turning into monsters.
Luckily, the security team reacted quickly; they became Contractors first, leading everyone to suppress many of the colleagues who had become flesh corpses, thus, we were able to hole up inside the experimental building to save everyone."
"The Aoke Biological Research Center is well-secured, with the doors shut tight; the flesh corpses outside couldn't get in. We hid for over a week, waiting for official rescue. But soon after, the situation changed—the Double-tailed Scorpions started appearing in large numbers, surrounding us; we almost had to fend them off every day, and that's how I got my Angel Envoy."
Ji Mingyang glanced at his Angel Envoy then sneakily took in Su Han's expression, unable to decide if there was any change.
Shu Hongguang interjected, "But we all miscalculated. The Double-tailed Scorpions weren't our true enemy; it was their matriarch. That super-sized Double-tailed Scorpion suddenly showed up, breaking through all defenses, and all the colleagues, including the security team, became its food.
It was only because the worms and their matriarch unexpectedly burst forth from the ground and fought with the Double-tailed Scorpion matriarch that we could escape."
"Yes, the size of the matriarch is much bigger than a car, as much as five or six meters tall; it's too dangerous."
Ji Mingyang voiced a warning, "Mr. Bai, you must be going for the experimental equipment. I suggest giving up. If you need equipment, other labs should have some; the Aoke Center truly isn't safe."
As researchers initially from Aoke Biological Research Center, they thought of making injectors from the samples they obtained.
This was the main reason they could endure in such a dangerous place for over half a month and why they didn't leave easily.
But then, even more powerful monsters appeared and effortlessly vanquished everything, sending them into profound despair and horror.
"Su Han, do you still want to go?" .net
Bai Qilan asked Su Han, hesitant. The battle between two clans, both of colossal sizes, left her unsure whether their strength was that of a First Order Upper Grade or Second Order.
"Let's go take a look first; it's not just the Aoke Biological Research Center I'm interested in, but those two monsters as well."
