I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

It all started two hours ago.

Chen Yang led Qi Qi, Huang Aotian, and Parker quietly into an abandoned power plant in the Third District, a desolate and gloomy place.

They obtained the location of the underground laboratory through Soren's intelligence network.

This abandoned power plant was merely a cover for that secret laboratory; no one would have imagined that beneath this dilapidated building lay a team of the most brilliant researchers.

As night fell, an unsettling atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

The ground was covered with discarded metal plates and corroded mechanical parts, and through the broken windows, one could occasionally see a few stray cats that had made their home there.

Huang Aotian glanced around and said softly, "Are you sure Liu Yan is being held here? This place looks like an ordinary abandoned power plant."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, his expression remaining unchanged: "Soren's intelligence is very clear. This power plant has a secret door that leads to the underground laboratory. With Qiqi here, we can come and go as we please."

Qiqi followed behind them, walking silently.

The little girl was not afraid of her surroundings.

She simply looked around curiously.

"Let's go, we need to speed up."

Chen Yang said in a low voice and stepped into the power plant first.

Under Parker's fog, even the most sophisticated instruments could not discern their movements.

They are like travelers from another dimension.

After walking along the narrow street for a while, they finally stopped in front of a dilapidated shipping container.

"This should be it."

Chen Yang carefully observed his surroundings through the dim light.

"Get ready, we're going in."

Qiqi's movements were unusually swift.

As soon as she finished speaking, the group vanished from the spot.

Using Qiqi's teleportation ability, they traversed that dark space.

The next moment, they stood firmly on their feet, and the scene around them made them almost unable to believe the reality before them.

The brilliance of technology surges like mercury.

The surrounding walls were covered with various fluorescent screens and dots of light, and every corner was filled with the low hum of machines, where countless unknown technologies intertwined.

"So high-end? Awesome." Huang Aotian exclaimed in a low voice.

Maintaining their stealth, the four cautiously made their way deeper into the laboratory.

However, to everyone's surprise, there were very few people wearing white coats in this laboratory.

"Strange? How come there are so few people in such a big place?"

The group searched until Pike sensed the sounds of conversation coming from underground.

"Next floor! Seventy-seven."

They don't need to take the elevator; Qiqi has the ability to teleport them directly to the next floor.

The scene before them made them stop in their tracks.

Huge incubation chambers stand in this space.

Floating in the green liquid inside the culture chamber are humans with plant-like characteristics.

The group swam among the rows of culture chambers and found the source of the conversation.

An elderly man is speaking to a creature in a culture chamber.

The next moment, the incubation chamber shattered, and glass shards exploded everywhere.

Countless plant warriors filed out.

The battle is about to break out.

But Chen Yang didn't care about that; his gaze was fixed on a culture chamber on the side.

Inside the transparent shell of the incubation chamber, Liu Yan lay quietly, motionless, her limbs slightly bent, covered with strange patterns, surrounded by green liquid and countless tubes.

Her face was pale, as if she had fallen into some kind of deep sleep, and there was no life around her.

"Liu Yan?!" Huang Aotian exclaimed in surprise.

"Calm down, don't rush," Chen Yang whispered, his eyes deep.

Although he was eager to rescue Liu Yan, he knew he couldn't act rashly at this moment.

Parker pressed down on Chen Yang's shoulder, indicating that the combat power of that group of plant warriors should not be underestimated.

"We'll make our move after they've finished fighting."

They stood by and witnessed the demise of the creature with enormous wings.

The creature knelt on the ground, and the elderly man demanded that it swear allegiance.

At that moment, Chen Yang suddenly felt an unusual agitation emanating from his body. The Darkin Sword Demon card in his arms was emitting an unprecedented aura.

He paused for a moment, then looked down and saw that the card was slightly warm, with a faint crimson light shimmering at its edges, as if some powerful force was stirring within it.

"The Darkin Blademaster... what's wrong?"

Chen Yang's heart stirred, sensing that something was wrong with the aura within the card; its restlessness was growing stronger, as if it was about to explode.

He looked at the figure kneeling on the ground before him and made his decision.

“Pike, go and give this card to that guy on the ground.”

......

......

Rios stood not far away, quietly watching Oken kneeling on the ground.

Oken's posture remained unchanged; he still kept his head down, his face obscured by shadows, revealing no expression.

The air around us seemed to freeze, silent and oppressive.

Rios frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"I am asking: Surrender... or die?"

However, Ouken remained silent.

died?

Or did he faint?

Just as doubts began to rise in Rios' mind, Oken's aura suddenly changed.

Oken suddenly raised his lowered head, his eyes flashing with a blood-red ferocity.

The aura was so intense it seemed to tear the air apart, causing Rios' heart to tremble.

A strong sense of unease welled up within him.

Rios instinctively took a step back, his hands clenched tightly, and a wary glint in his eyes.

"I choose you to die." Another voice came from Okun's body.

"No!" Rios reacted almost instantly, his command ringing out like thunder: "Everyone, kill him immediately! Now!"

His command was immediately relayed to the plant warriors in position, who reacted swiftly and pounced on Okun.

The matchup between the plant warriors and the Orken should have been a one-sided affair.

However, the next moment, Oken's body suddenly jolted.

His hands swiftly grabbed the soldier standing in front of him, so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone to react.

Before the other soldiers could get close enough, the soldier's neck was instantly torn apart.

Blood splattered everywhere, and chunks of flesh flew off the ground.

"Roar--"

The blood-red light in Oken's eyes grew even more intense.

"Support! Mobilize all frozen fusions! Immediately! Right now!" Rios roared into the communicator.
