They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

Facing Chen's father's repeated toasts, he accepted them one after another to avoid being disrespectful and drank them all in one gulp. He almost became a big wine barrel with a round belly and a smell of alcohol all over his body.

Besides the two of them, Nuonuo, who was wearing delicate makeup and dressed like a princess, was also sitting at the table. She had recently passed the interview with Elder Gattuso.

In fact, the interview was just a few old men in retro white robes looking at me through the screen, and that was it. I actually passed...

Nuonuo's role in sitting here at this time was not to accompany the drinking - even if she wanted to drink, she would definitely not drink with these two people - but to serve as an interesting topic to liven up the atmosphere of the banquet for Chen's father and Gattuso's representative.

Father Chen raised his glass and pointed at Nuonuo and said, "Our Mo Tong performed very well in this interview. When she gets married, she will definitely become Gattuso's most noble and virtuous mistress."

The Gattuso representative spoke in a not very standard Mandarin and replied slowly, "That's inevitable. Our Gattuso family attaches great importance to the inheritance of future generations. Even Miss Mo Tong, who is valued by the elders, will receive the highest level of training and education and become the noble and highly praised bride of the young master."

Nuonuo watched coldly as the two grown men exchanged polite boasts with each other, using words like marriage and bride. The feeling of being traded like a commodity made her feel annoyed and disgusted.

However, she had already completely recovered from the truth about the clone of Frigga, and being traded as a bride would not make her lose her composure.

Now Nono has the ancient dragon serum given by the Ninja Master, as well as a short knife and a Beretta Tomcat pistol...

Although it was not convenient for her to wear the long dress she wore for the banquet, she could tie it around her legs. In the Chen Family Manor, no one would search her body.

Nuonuo now plans to secretly keep an eye on Chen's father, and as long as she finds the right opportunity...she will have a "loving father and filial daughter" show!

The banquet was in full swing, and Gattuso's face was already flushed and he was very drunk. Chen's father was planning to continue serving wine, but suddenly he touched his pocket and his face changed. He apologized to Gattuso and said he would answer the phone, then hurriedly left.

Nuo Nuo's eyes lit up, and she immediately apologized and said she was going to the bathroom, then changed direction and left the table alone, and then followed slowly in the direction of Chen's father.

Chapter 44: Old Tang, where are you?

"Father! Father! Help!"

As soon as Father Chen answered the phone, the panic coming from the other end made him frown, "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"

"It's the Zhou family! It's definitely the Zhou family... They don't follow the rules, father. They sent a group of hybrids with modified bodies. They can cast spiritual words like spells! Taoist palm thunder, flame-shaped fist, dust-free ground rebound... This is definitely illegal bloodline modification!"

"What did you say!" Father Chen didn't understand what all this nonsense was.

"Also, more! They're bombing our cargo warehouse with tactical missiles! Hahahaha, this is crazy! The Zhou family is completely crazy!"

The voice on the other end of the line sounded like a mixture of terror and inexplicable madness. If it weren't for the intense gunfire and obvious alarms, Father Chen would have almost thought the person on the other end was drunk and acting crazy.

"Calm down! Hold on, victory will be ours soon... I'll arrange for the family's support. We also have Gattuso's reinforcements, and the Zhou family won't dare to make too much trouble in public—"

"It's no use, father! The situation is unfavorable to us in all aspects!" The voice on the other side almost broke into tears.

"Let's stop and run! The people outside the base are all from other families! I've contacted them, and they've been stopped. They must have already prepared to block reinforcements and eliminate the aftermath. They plan to unite and devour us! Father, please check to see if those people from the families have ambushed us near our home!"

Father Chen, who immediately realized the danger, tensed up his body. He quietly called out to a strong mixed-race man who was responsible for the security staffing of the manor. After realizing the urgency of the situation, he immediately left and began to prepare to deal with possible enemies lurking outside.

Father Chen then asked the person on the other end of the line, "Did the Zhou family break into that testing center?"

"What?" The voice in the microphone was obviously stunned.

"I'm asking you if the Zhou family has breached the testing and inspection center, the one near the medical research institute and the warehouse! If they haven't broken into the underground structure of that facility, then you must continue to hold on and wait for support!"

"No, no, there's no hostile reaction over there..." The other party obviously didn't understand the deeper meaning of this sentence, "No, father, why do we have to guard there? What on earth is in the basement of that center-"

Father Chen didn't wait for the other party to argue and hung up the phone. He didn't think his children were qualified to know about that place, even though they were his blood descendants.

Next, he had to be busy mobilizing family members scattered in other places, and he really had no time to chat or talk with Gattuso's people.

Anyway, all the other party cares about is Nuonuo's cargo...

Father Chen used the communicator to dial several more numbers and issued orders one by one, but even so, he still couldn't calm down. The things in that underground building were too important...

He then began to instruct the driver and security to take him to the park base immediately if he could break through the aristocratic family's blockade. Even if an unexpected accident occurred, it would be safer to go there.

Suddenly there was a slight sound of wind behind me.

It sounded like something sharp cutting through the air.

Father Chen felt a sudden threat of death, but the instantaneous piercing sensation twisted his body, as if freezing him in place. He saw a short sword similar in shape to a Japanese wakizashi, piercing through his body from the back and stabbing out of Father Chen's chest.

Heavy blood splatter.

"You, you actually..."

Father Chen turned around weakly and saw Nuonuo with a stern face. She had just attacked so fast that even the bodyguards waiting in the dark didn't react.

At this moment, Nuonuo's eyes blossomed with golden color, filled with rage and hatred. Her fair little cheeks were covered with several conspicuous holy white scales, reflecting crystal cold light under the night light.

----

The basement of the medical research institute in the Chen family base.

Zhou Minhao's fists were red and hot, and he was full of momentum. He swung out a "cannon fist" from Xingyiquan and fiercely chased after a mixed-race strong man who was eager to escape. His fist instantly produced an astonishing flame explosion and swept in all directions, turning several people around him into "fire men" trapped in a violent elemental torrent.

After a successful attack, Zhou Minhao quickly retreated into the darkness.

At this time, armed members of the Chen family were still firing in the dark. Unfortunately, the lighting system had been damaged, and the area was completely dark except for a few flames.

Furthermore, those who were set on fire by Zhou Minhao were all their own people, and the fierce high temperature that permeated the surroundings also made it difficult for the infrared sensor system to distinguish a large number of misleading heat sources.

Zhou Minhao was not worried about the gunman. Being in the dark, he only needed to use magic to enhance his hearing and rely on sound to locate the gunman to avoid or even counterattack.

'One more to go.'

The enemy's continuous firepower seemed to be intended to suppress our offensive, but in fact it exposed our lack of reinforcements.

After estimating the number of times the opponent would fire, Zhou Minhao used magic infusion to strengthen his legs in advance. At the moment when the opponent hurriedly changed the magazine, he turned into a swift shadow and rushed forward.

The unexpected punch caught them off guard and instantly sent up a flying flame that engulfed the panicked people, turning them into a charred human figure melted in the raging flames.

"Area B has been cleared."

Zhou Minhao returned to the corridor entrance to gather according to the agreed contact code, and the team members around him also reported the team calls such as the clearance of Area A and Area C.

It seems that everything is going well. Next, we should continue to explore the lower levels of this building. The lower levels may be experimental areas that are more dangerous than the data area. There may be dangerous models of Deadpool hidden there. We need to concentrate our combat strength before taking action.

But Zhou Minhao looked around and suddenly found that there was a guy with a cheerful smile on his face missing from the team.

No, where are Old Tang and the others?

----

At this time, a king of fire arrived in the basement of the testing and inspection center.

Invisible high temperature emanated from Norton's body, quickly melting the sturdy door lock and the thick alloy door.

At this moment, the automatic machine gun that was triggered secretly spewed out a dense and fierce barrage of metal bullets, but it was immediately disintegrated in mid-air. Afterwards, these secret door mechanisms melted and were damaged one after another due to the high temperature.

Norton walked slowly through the dim corridor in the basement, as if he was not in the enemy camp, but strolling in the dragon path of his own bronze palace.

Norton continued to melt a metal archway - these solid defenses that humans had painstakingly built were useless to him - and was faced with a tall, snake-like Deadpool entrenched there.

The unfortunate Deadpool had almost no time to do anything before his entire body burned rapidly and turned into a stream of ash that burned silently.

This scene scared the other Deadpools crawling in the secret passage. They screamed in fear as sharp as babies and fled frantically into the deeper part of the archway or other narrow secret passages, just to avoid the terrifying high-temperature death.

Chapter 45 Zero

Norton didn't even bother to look at these reptilian deadpool monsters.

The King of Fire ignored them, who were more or less innocently harmed, and walked through the long corridor before entering a lower area.

This place is even more eerie and damp than the upper floor. The dim green light shines on the two neatly arranged rows of coffins in the display room, and bursts of stale and pungent smell leak out from the gaps between the coffins.

It seemed like the dead, who had not seen the breath of life for a long time, were ready to move and try to crawl out of the underworld.

In response, Norton simply stretched out a finger and held down the corpse guard who was trying to crawl out of the coffin, and in the next second burned it into ashes that were enough to destroy its soul.

"!"

Although their brains were a beat slower than those of the Deadpools, the corpse guards who had just woken up finally realized the noble status of the visitor. They immediately lay back down obediently and closed the coffin tightly.

"...mature corpse-guarding refining technology."

Norton commented... He certainly didn't want to bully these corpse guards for no reason.

He had just confirmed from the corpse guard some traces of dragon alchemy technology that was absolutely impossible for humans to possess.

Could it be one of his brothers or sisters?

"Not sure, let's see again."

Norton walked to the end of the exhibition room, and a huge empty space appeared before his eyes, like a pure temple created by holy white light, which refused all visits from outsiders with a solemn and dignified attitude.

This is the end of the road. There is only an exquisite silver-white coffin lying flat on a square stone platform as white as jade.

"What a boring trick." Norton saw at a glance that this was a hidden alchemical mechanism that required the blood of a specific person to be sprinkled in order to unlock the hidden corridor switch.

But he didn't need to go through so much trouble.

Norton casually dripped a drop of his own dragon blood, and the blood bead slid down and sank into the groove hidden in the intricate pattern of the white coffin. The coffin immediately made a creaking sound, and the alchemy array was immediately forcibly activated. The silver-white coffin and the stone slab shook violently, and a large amount of mercury overflowed from the gaps in the pattern.

The mercury that constructed the alchemical array instantly overflowed the surface of the coffin and even flowed down from it. It danced in panic as if it had encountered a deadly virus, splashing irregular and meaningless ripples and waves.

Suddenly, Norton, who had been watching, snapped his fingers lightly.

"Snapped!"

The mercury that was overflowing crazily calmed down immediately and began to shrink back from the outside as if time was flowing backwards. Norton successfully usurped the authority of this thing within seconds, making it reveal the truth hidden in the silver-white coffin - a switch similar to the operating table of an elevator.

After pressing it, the entire stone platform began to slowly descend, carrying Norton away from this level and diving deeper into the darkness.

What appeared before Norton's eyes on this floor were a large number of mechanical equipment, culture tanks filled with electrolyte solutions, and empty rooms separated by a thick layer of reinforced glass.

There are also some rooms with room numbers and words marked on the doorplates, such as "Biological Laboratory", "Equipment Maintenance Room", etc.

At the end, Norton saw the second-to-last room was the "torture room." He glanced inside with a hint of curiosity and found a mechanical torture device similar to an operating table, and a compartment next to it contained some scattered records.

[Frigga's experiment failed. Interfering with the intact soul of Zero is very likely to cause it to go out of control. After dealing with the experiment's runaway accident, it can only be destroyed...]

[…The physical strength of Frigga II was forcibly reduced, but the compatibility between this defective clone and its soul decreased, and it still exhibited runaway symptoms. Equipment frequently broke down, resulting in significant financial expenditures and limited effective results. It was abandoned.]

[…The Medical Association has received new technical assistance, successfully extracting soul fragments from Zero to create Frigga III…Since the 46th execution, No. 3 has remained stable, making perfect control of Frigga's experimental subjects possible.]

"These humans...are trying to combine their life sciences with dragon alchemy?"

Norton took a few glances. Since they dared to combine soul interference technology with human biological cloning technology, it was basically confirmed that there were high-level dragons helping humans conduct experiments. No, perhaps they had reached an in-depth cooperation...

"Besides, their goal has always been to control Frigga Zero's soul? What exactly is Zero's soul that is worth all this trouble?"

Norton closed the door and looked at the last room at the end. There was no text on the doorplate, only a big room number - "0".

When he pushed open the door of the room, he found that there were no door locks or protective measures. Norton walked slowly, and the sound of gurgling water flowed in a certain direction from the circular water tanks around him.

The walls are made of tall, smooth, and seamless alloy material. In the narrow gap between the top and the ceiling, a thin stream of water flows downward evenly at regular intervals and in fixed quantities, forming a transparent, thin water curtain.

water?

Norton was clearly aware that something was wrong. In addition to mercury solution, water was also an important medium for alchemy.

The room was completely empty, with only a crystal coffin placed in the center, and a red-haired figure could be vaguely seen inside... It was undoubtedly "Frigga Zero".

The coffin was bound tightly with dense black alchemical chains and trapped here.

Norton saw circles of exquisite dragon characters similar to runes engraved around it.

This is layer upon layer of sealing measures.

Humph, seeing the style here, he could basically determine who was funding the human experiments.

The fact that this guy covets Zero so much can only mean... Zero's soul is more noble.

Then, the identity of the soul is obvious...

Just as Norton put his hand on the sealed chain and tried to break it, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the water curtain behind him.

Warehouse area.

The building, which originally covered a large area, seemed to have been carpet-bombed by tactical missiles. Huge, charred and smoking holes replaced the huge buildings, thick road surfaces and even the foundations.

Although it was still night, the scattered flames illuminated the ruins of the warehouse and even the square. The thick smoke billowed upwards and was reflected by the light from the flames on the ground, allowing the children of the noble families who were far away surrounding the park to see clearly.

The uninformed children were dumbfounded, thinking that the Zhou family had changed their route and brought in heavy firepower bombing to retaliate against the Chen family, making it impossible for the Chen family to recover... No wonder they had to mobilize so many families to block the route together.

The heads of the noble families who knew about the situation had complicated expressions. This was the strength brought by the new system. The Zhou family asked so many noble families to come, and they might have planned to let them see it with their own eyes.

The perception that mixed-race individuals could not challenge modern military forces with their own strength began to be shaken.
