Chapter 156: Chapter 153: Burned to Charcoal

But to Chen Xing, it made no difference whether they were from the Research Institute or were truly Hao Wenli’s friends.

Averting her gaze, she strode into the Research Institute building.

Seeing Chen Xing about to storm the Research Institute, He Yu’an immediately backed away to make a phone call.

Hao Wenli and the others chased after Chen Xing into the building.

In truth, Hao Wenli really didn’t want to enter.

Although her boss was around, which meant her safety was guaranteed...

’But... the monster I saw last time was terrifying. I had nightmares for a long time afterward.’

But now that everyone was going in, she had no choice but to follow.

Besides, He Yu’an was frantically signaling her, insisting that she stick close to Chen Xing.

She shot He Yu’an a glare, thoroughly annoyed.

’The way she’s acting, you’d think she was my superior, ordering me around.’

’Whatever, I have to go in no matter what!’

With so many people around, she could only steel herself and follow.

As if to spite her, the elevators were out of service, and the entire building was pitch-black.

Gritting her teeth, Hao Wenli followed them into the stairwell.

The stairwell had no lights or windows; it was as dark as spilled ink.

The only light came from Xiao Nan’s hand up ahead, so she followed him cautiously.

Chen Xing ran ahead, quickly putting distance between herself and the others.

She and Meng Hu soon reached the top floor.

The people below didn’t have her stamina; they were still catching their breath, not even close to the top.

Chen Xing entered the hallway, ignoring the other rooms and making a beeline for the Director’s office.

Halfway down the hall, doors on either side began to open one by one, revealing pairs of vicious red eyes.

Chen Xing didn’t react in the slightest and continued forward.

As soon as the red dots moved out from the doorways, Meng Hu, who was right behind Chen Xing, took care of them.

Meng Hu dispatched them one by one in a single bite.

Though the zombie dogs were numerous, Meng Hu’s combat prowess was astonishing. Almost none of them managed to get close to Chen Xing.

Right in front of the menacingly glaring zombie dogs, Chen Xing had a clear path straight to the office door.

In the past, coming here had always made her uneasy, but this time, she was remarkably calm.

Her hand reached for the doorknob, but just as she was about to open the door, a sudden electric current shot through her entire body.

The current was so strong it practically glued her to the spot.

Chen Xing didn’t even have time to react before the powerful current sent her into violent convulsions.

Seeing its master in danger, Meng Hu was about to abandon the zombie dogs to rescue her.

But its master ordered it to continue fighting.

Meng Hu was speechless. ”...”

’Might as well keep fighting then!’

Just then, Xiao Nan was the first to arrive. Seeing Chen Xing twitching all over, he drew his long machete and began hacking at the zombie dogs in front of him.

His combat ability was nothing to scoff at; he was impressively effective at killing the zombie dogs.

His male friends were also skilled fighters.

The women, on the other hand, left much to be desired. They just huddled close behind the men.

Even though Xiao Nan was a good fighter, the sheer number of zombie dogs made it impossible to break through quickly.

After a long while, Chen Xing was finally thrown back by the electric current.

She slammed into the wall before collapsing to the floor.

Her body felt completely drained, and she could still feel residual jolts of electricity coursing through her.

The Chen Xing that Hao Wenli saw looked pretty miserable.

Her skin was charred black from head to toe, and her clothes were riddled with burnt holes.

Luckily, her clothes weren’t completely burned off.

”Chen Xing, are you okay?” Hao Wenli took a moment to compose herself, forcing down the gloating expression that threatened to surface.

Chen Xing lay motionless, a charred black figure on the floor.

At that moment, the office door suddenly swung open.

A bright light streamed out, so brilliant it was blinding.

A white-haired man in his sixties with a wrinkled face stepped out and glanced at Chen Xing on the floor.

His expression was a mixture of excitement and agitation.

’The boss?’

Hao Wenli almost blurted it out.

She couldn’t quite believe it. ’My boss is an old man?’

She had always imagined her boss to be young, handsome, and rich.

The voice on the phone was always electronically disguised, but it never sounded this old.

”Capturing you really wasn’t easy!” With that, Vice Director Lin started forward to check on her.

But before his hand could even touch Chen Xing, a jolt of electricity shot through his body. The shock sent him flying back, slamming against the wall before he crumpled to the floor.

He instantly coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if all his internal organs had been shattered.

On top of that, his body had been struck by the electricity.

Not only was his skin instantly charred black, but blisters were already forming in many places.

The agonizing pain reduced him to weak, shallow breaths.

But these weak breaths lasted for less than a minute before stopping altogether.

Hao Wenli was speechless. ”...”

’Don’t tell me the boss just died like that?’

She was completely dumbfounded.

If the boss was dead, her mission was over. She wouldn’t have to swallow her pride and follow Chen Xing anymore.

’But... what if he wasn’t the boss?’

Xiao Nan and the others had just finished dealing with all the zombie dogs on the floor and were about to go check on Chen Xing.

But a roar from Meng Hu blocked their path.

Just then, Cui Ying grabbed his arm. ”Xiao Nan, look at the state she’s in. She’s a lost cause!”

Inwardly, she cursed.

’Serves you right for trying to seduce other people’s boyfriends!’

At that moment, He Yu’an came up the stairs.

She stared at the scene before her, momentarily bewildered.

’This is a little different from what I was told on the phone!’

’Whatever!’

’The boss said we must capture Chen Xing this time!’

Ignoring everything else, she strode quickly toward Chen Xing.

Meng Hu’s attention was currently on Xiao Nan, and it was glaring at him menacingly.

Reaching Chen Xing’s side, He Yu’an’s face was full of contempt.

This Chen Xing had used her power to make her suffer quite a bit.

’Being burned to a crisp like this? Serves her right!’

She gathered her superpower in her hands, forming a pillar of water that lifted Chen Xing off the ground.

Just then, a set of double doors nearby opened automatically.

The pillar of water carried Chen Xing through the double doors.

The doors shut instantly. Just as the pillar of water was about to snap in the closing gap, an extremely powerful electric current shot through it, piercing straight through He Yu’an.

In an instant, He Yu’an’s life was extinguished.

Inside, Chen Xing was placed on a bed. Her charred body was motionless, as if she were dead.

In a dark corner of the room stood a man, his face as ferocious and terrifying as if he were wearing a mask.

His breathing was heavy with excitement, as if from a deep fondness for his prey.

He pressed a button in his hand.

Restraints shot out from the sides of the bed, aiming to bind Chen Xing.

But in the split second before they could trap her, she moved—somehow—and the restraints clamped down on empty air.

And there, standing perfectly fine in front of the masked man, was the completely blackened Chen Xing.

As if he had expected this, he showed no surprise, only a hint more delight. ”I knew it. My most perfect creation couldn’t be so fragile!”

”Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you right now?” Chen Xing’s blade was pressed against his chin.

The masked man was utterly unafraid, a look of gratification in his eyes. ”You wouldn’t have the heart to kill me.”
