Chapter 211: Chapter 208: Number 00007 Never Disappoints

This was the first time Chen Xing had seen this kind of superpower.

Most superpowers were offensively powerful. Cadar’s, on the other hand, didn’t seem much like a superpower.

But... she wasn’t exactly worldly, so she’d just assume it was a superpower for now.

Despite her surprise, she still managed to pull Hao Wenli out of that dark vortex just before she was killed.

’As long as I can pull her out, it’s fine!’

Chen Xing was quite wary of this Black Vortex.

Cadar couldn’t believe someone dared to interfere in her business. A vicious glare shot toward Chen Xing. ”You’re that bitch who tried to kill me before? A bunch of overconfident sewer rats!”

Freed from her restraints, Hao Wenli whipped her long tentacles straight for Chen Xing’s face.

Chen Xing was already prepared. With a light jolt of electricity, the tentacle recoiled in pain.

But another tentacle immediately launched an attack.

This time, a sharp blade on the tentacle joined the assault, striking while Chen Xing was dealing with the other one.

Chen Xing had seen the state of Nightingale’s death; she certainly wouldn’t be fooled by this little trick again.

Combining her current with her blade, she severed the tentacle directly.

While these two were fighting, Cadar on the other side wasn’t just standing by.

’I hate both of these bitches. They should all die!’

She aimed the Black Vortex at Chen Xing’s feet.

Who would have thought that the Black Vortex she was sure would trap Chen Xing would somehow miss, leaving Chen Xing standing perfectly fine to the side.

Cadar was not resigned to this.

Her power was supposed to be one hundred percent accurate, controlled by her will.

No one else could possibly guess where the Black Vortex would appear.

So, she gathered her power once more and aimed the Black Vortex at Chen Xing again.

But... it still missed Chen Xing.

Chen Xing didn’t have foresight; she was just constantly watching Cadar’s movements.

The moment Cadar extended her hand, Chen Xing knew the Black Vortex was coming.

So, she would leap away before the vortex could even form.

After this happened several times, Cadar was fuming.

’If I can’t kill this one, I’ll kill the other!’

She created another vortex, trying to trap Hao Wenli, but Chen Xing pulled her away.

Only then did Hao Wenli realize that even though she had become a monster, she was still no match for Chen Xing.

It was as if Chen Xing was just toying with her now, preventing Cadar from killing her.

To her, this was an absolute insult.

Rage surged through her, and the power she couldn’t control spread through her body.

’It’s over!’

As the energy reached its peak, she remembered that she too was just a lab rat.

’If I use my power, will I die too?’

In a state of terror, her body shot upward like a beam of light.

The resulting blast was incredibly powerful, piercing straight through the entire underground base.

When she found herself staring in horror at the starry night sky, she knew she was finished.

As she fell and dissolved into a pool of blood, a brilliant flash of light exploded outward in all directions.

Chen Xing, having experience with this, had already taken cover far away, ducking behind a solid wall.

In an instant, the surrounding buildings shattered, not even sparing the people sleeping inside.

Hiding behind the wall, Chen Xing saw there were no surveillance cameras and had slipped into the Jiezhi Space a moment earlier.

When she emerged, the surroundings were a complete wreck.

Not a single building was intact, and the ground was completely shattered.

Looking out through the person-sized hole, it seemed much quieter outside.

But the quiet didn’t last long. Soon, Lizard Monsters started falling through the hole.

After coming out, Chen Xing first found Hao Wenli’s tag number. A few seconds later, a Black Vortex appeared on the ground in the distance, and Cadar climbed out of it.

Chen Xing: ”...” ’So... what’s it like inside her vortex?’

’Can people hide in there?’

Chen Xing immediately moved to attack her.

Cadar seemed to be scared, diving back into the vortex.

A few seconds later, she appeared even farther away.

Chen Xing knew this Cadar was different from the others. Killing her would not be easy.

As more and more monsters appeared, Chen Xing quickly found an exit and left the base.

In another part of the base, a faint smile played on the masked man’s lips.

”Number 00007 never disappoints.”

”All the other test subjects get utterly destroyed when they run into Number 00007! I originally thought this Number 00086 would be more useful than the others. And to think I went to the trouble of bringing Number 00007 into the base.”

”Aren’t you afraid she’ll turn on you and kill you?”

”Not at all! I maintain a safe distance from her. Besides, I hold the power of her life and death in my hands!”

”I don’t think so. You’ve never dared to use that broken thing, have you?”

The masked man fell silent for a moment.

Then he leaned his head on the shoulder of the man next to him, a hint of jealousy in his voice. ”She is our shared Intermediate dream. What, are you starting to feel sorry for her?”

”How could I? I just regret that we didn’t get to see how she survived that impossible-to-escape place!”

The sight of them from behind was rather lovely.

Of course, Chen Xing had no idea she had been deliberately led to Hao Wenli.

Only after getting outside did Chen Xing realize just how powerful Hao Wenli’s final attack had been.

Not only had a huge swath of the surrounding buildings collapsed, but a large number of the nearby Lizard Monsters had also been killed.

It seemed the base had drawn away many of the monsters, as there were far fewer of them outside.

She crossed the street, heading straight for Carson’s house.

The little dinosaur monster had already sent her a message: Carson was hiding in a locked bathroom and was temporarily safe.

As Chen Xing was sprinting, she suddenly slammed into something.

Because she was moving so fast, the impact threw her back a great distance.

When she caught her breath and stood up, she couldn’t see anything in front of her.

She walked forward slowly and reached out to touch the spot where she had collided with something.

But her hand passed right through it.

She tried to walk forward again, but her path was clearly blocked by something like a wall.

Chen Xing: ”...” ’A person can’t pass through?’

So, she tried to move to the side to get around it, but that also failed.

She immediately started running, aimed straight ahead, and charged forward with all her strength.

Right before impact, she swerved to the side, changing direction.

This time, she passed through smoothly.

The moment she was through, she delivered a backhanded slash with her blade.

A pained cry was heard, and a person materialized, collapsing to the ground.

Chen Xing’s blade was embedded in his back, and he was trembling from the pain.

Chen Xing showed no mercy, pulling the blade out from his back.

Blood immediately sprayed out.

After testing it a couple of times, Chen Xing had realized it wasn’t an impossible situation.

Because when she moved quickly, her opponent had to speed up as well, allowing her to hear them.

’Yes... That’s right!’

’It’s them!’

’There’s more than one person blocking the way!’

”Brother...” The voice was heard, but no one could be seen.

Chen Xing pinpointed the location and threw her blade, but it didn’t hit anyone.

”Little sis, don’t worry about me! Hurry up and find a way to kill her!” the man shouted, ignoring his own wound.

’It’s not fatal, anyway.’

As his words fell, Chen Xing could no longer detect the other person’s presence.

This woman, it seemed, was also a bit scared and wasn’t making any big moves.

However, she was still able to accurately trap Chen Xing and prevent her from moving forward.

Chen Xing let out a cold laugh, taunting the empty space before her. ”I’ve already wounded your brother. Do you really think you can hurt me all by yourself?”

After that, she began to force her way through with bold movements.
