Chapter 61 Might of the Ultimate Level

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Might of the Ultimate Level

The web of fire woven by Four submachine guns instantly caused massive sprays of blood to erupt from the mutants in the front row, sending them flying backward.

In the next moment, however, these shot mutants were pushed forward as meat shields by those behind them as they continued their rapid sprint toward the group.

Feng Yin’s pupils shrank slightly at the sight. When he was on Earth, he read all kinds of popular science and had acquired quite a bit of niche knowledge.

In his understanding, a normal human body couldn’t actually be used to block bullets. At least, not submachine gun bullets. The scenes in movies and TV shows where someone charged a shooter while holding up a dead body as a meat shield were mostly just for plot convenience. But it was clearly different in this world.

The robust physique of a Fierce-level Powerhouse was no less than that of a fierce beast, and the Strength of their muscles and bones was entirely different from a normal human’s. A submachine gun bullet that could pierce completely through two ordinary people might actually fail to penetrate two Fierce Level individuals...

In the few seconds his thoughts raced, those mutants had already pushed their companions’ corpses close. Right at this moment, two of the Four guards happened to empty their submachine gun magazines.

With the suppressing fire halved, the Speed of the mutant horde picked up once again. Particularly, apart from those "holding the shields" at the front, many mutants at the back who couldn’t stand the slow advance Speed began leaping frantically.

They either sprinted over the human wall or used the walls to launch themselves forward, instantly closing a large gap. A small number of them were shot and sent flying backward on the spot, but even more broke through the guards’ barrage and arrived directly in front of the group.

The guards roared wildly as they maintained their fire, their voices filled with extreme fear.

Feng Yin immediately prepared for battle. The next moment, however, he heard Xie Jingyuan’s calm voice:

"Guard Xiao Yu well."

Before he even finished speaking, the group’s vision blurred. They saw Xie Jingyuan transform into an elongated string of afterimages as he dashed out, plunging into the mutant horde in the blink of an eye.

He drew his sword, its strike swift and its gleam biting cold! A streak of a silver Snake unfurled, blooming like a flower amidst the afterimages cast by the lights.

SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH!!!

Feng Yin’s eyes trembled violently. His eyesight was astonishing. What appeared as a fast blur of afterimages to others looked like an accelerated high-definition movie to him.

The incredibly swift and fierce Xie Jingyuan’s actual movements were quite elegant, almost as if he were taking a casual stroll in a courtyard. The Sharp Blade danced with him, sweeping past the nearly twenty ferocious and crazed enemies in an instant.

One man and a group of people passed through each other.

CLANG!

The crisp chime of the sword echoed out, and the shining sword Light was abruptly withdrawn. The sword had returned to its sheath.

Xie Jingyuan’s figure transitioned from extreme motion to extreme stillness as he quietly stood in place. Behind him, the heads of all the frozen mutants detached from their necks and smashed into the ground, issuing a series of muffled thuds.

Twenty fountains of blood shot into the sky, and the headless corpses rapidly collapsed to the floor. The entire corridor was swiftly covered in blood.

One exchange, twenty kills!

Moreover, judging from the Speed of these mutants, they were all Superhumans with at least Fierce Level physiques.

Feng Yin took a deep breath, truly feeling his master’s terrifying strength for the first time.

"Master is invincible~" Beside him, Xiao Yu was already clapping her hands excitedly.

Xie Yanran and Hong Yuan also looked thrilled. The sight of an Absolute Powerhouse making a move was a rare occurrence; just being able to witness it was a great fortune.

At this time, the Four guards, who had been nervously changing their magazines, were also dumbfounded. Then, they simultaneously let out a sigh of relief. They had originally thought they were going to die in the line of duty. Wait, boss, if you’re this formidable, what do you even need us guards for?

Xie Jingyuan had already turned back, his face remaining serious yet composed. "It’s taken care of. Let’s go."

At this moment, the elevator behind the group let out a DING, and the doors opened.

Everyone filed in. The guards directly pressed the button for the top floor.

Before the elevator doors closed, Feng Yin saw several more bloodstained mutants running out from behind the emergency door. However, they could no longer stop the elevator from going up.

The elevator rapidly ascended.

Feng Yin still couldn’t help but ask, "What on earth are those people? I saw scales on their bodies."

Xie Jingyuan said calmly, "Gene Adjusters. They are the genetic engineering products that the Angsa Alliance and the Ousu and Soviet Countries have been continuously developing and using."

Xiao Yu added from the side, "Adjusters aren’t a rare technology, but internationally recognized genetic adjustments are basically limited to the adjustment and optimization of a species itself."

She continued explaining to Feng Yin, "To put it bluntly, for humans, one can only adjust and optimize human genes, and for animals, one can only optimize the animal’s own genes. Mixing and expressing the genes of different species is a severe violation of the law."

Glancing at the guards, Xiao Yu’s words carried a hidden meaning: "Why do you think these ’experimental subjects’ of the Zero Point Consortium exhibit reptilian traits despite having a human base?"

The Four guards silently lowered their heads, cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

One guard braced himself and said, "Ms. Chen Yu, we... don’t understand what you’re talking about. We’re just ordinary guards."

"Enough, there’s no use asking them. Zero Point isn’t the only one conducting these kinds of experiments." Xie Jingyuan pressed his hand down in the air, signaling Xiao Yu not to ask any more questions.

The guards all let out a long sigh of relief. Feng Yin, on the other hand, had already understood their explanations.

Gene adjustment... It turned out that this world actually possessed such mature biotechnology.

He had also heard of genetic engineering when he was on Earth. He had occasionally seen news reports about the birth of some new gene-editing technology and the like, but he was certain that the gene-editing technology on Earth shouldn’t be nearly as exaggerated as what his master and Xiao Yu described.

Martial Artists, Adjusters... Miraculous Martial Arts, gene-editing technology...

"Whatever other surprises there are, just bring them on. I will accept and digest them all," he thought.

Feng Yin’s eyes were filled with anticipation. This world had given him more and more shocks, but now he was somewhat used to it. No matter how special this world was, he, who had transmigrated here and possessed a Golden Finger, was bound to be the most special existence within it.

As long as he remained determined and continued to grow stronger, all threats would ultimately become nothing more than his stepping stones. Or rather, the higher the Strength of this world and the more dangers there were, the more it would allow him to fully unleash himself on the path to growing stronger.

It would ensure that he—who was destined to forge an invincible path—wouldn’t be so lonely.

In the silence, the elevator’s floor display numbers rapidly ticked upward. Just when Feng Yin thought the dust had settled, the elevator suddenly jolted to a halt when it was still Seven floors away from the top.

SCREECH!

Accompanied by a violent jamming sound, the entire elevator was subjected to emergency braking and came to a complete stop after a few shakes. Warning red lights flashed on throughout the entire elevator cabin.

Xiao Yu let out a soft cry of fright. The Four guards were so terrified by the violent turbulence that they immediately half-squatted against the elevator walls.

At the same time, the emergency-braked elevator still seemed unstable, vibrating in fits and starts, as if something below was constantly tugging at the steel cables.

"Endless..." Xie Jingyuan glanced at the floor display, confirming that the elevator had stopped roughly between two floors.

He quickly located the escape hatch above, easily jumped up to push it open, and then darted out first. His voice came from above: "Xiao Yu, you first. Hurry up."
