The ghostly words fell upon Chen Rui like a bucket of cold water, sharpening his senses. He knew that he was about to step into a truly dangerous territory. After bidding farewell to the ghost, Chen Rui cautiously returned to his temporary residence. He transferred the data from the disk into his computer, meticulously analyzing the old secret hideouts one by one. These hideouts were scattered throughout the Tenth District, each concealed within mundane buildings such as factories, abandoned warehouses, and bars—seemingly ordinary but hiding lethal traps.
He silently resolved to uncover the truth behind these locations. Despite the ghost's warning that the Special Zone was treacherous, Chen Rui had no way out. The flames of revenge burned fiercely in his heart; he would not miss any opportunity.
At dawn, Chen Rui pinpointed his first target: an abandoned factory in the Western District. The factory appeared dilapidated, surrounded by overgrown weeds, as if it had been neglected for years. However, intelligence indicated that it secretly housed numerous Old Henchmen and served as a weapons cache.
As Chen Rui approached the factory, he carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain. The nearby buildings varied in height, providing him with concealed vantage points. He noticed several fully armed guards stationed at the factory entrance, while the windows were tightly shut, with occasional shadows moving inside.
He hid himself on one side of the street, waiting for an opportunity. Suddenly, a truck appeared in the distance and slowly came to a stop in front of the factory. The guards immediately approached to inspect it, while the driver handed over an identification card.
A perfect opportunity, Chen Rui thought to himself.
Taking advantage of the guards' distraction, he stealthily circled around to the back door of the factory. There were fewer guards there; he quickly pulled out a piece of wire and skillfully picked the lock on the back door before slipping inside.
The interior of the factory was dark and damp, with a greasy smell permeating the air. Chen Rui pressed against the wall and moved cautiously. He soon arrived at a storage room filled with various weapons and Military Supplies—clearly an old supply depot.
These weapons have significant origins, Chen Rui mused. The old boss was evidently not just any gang leader; he possessed formidable resources and connections. As he examined the storage room, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps approaching from deeper within the corridor.
Chen Rui quickly ducked into a corner and held his breath. The voices of the guards drifted into his ears.
"Have you heard? The boss has brought in another batch of Experiment Subjects for testing."
"Those monsters are disgusting; they don't even look human."
"Shh! Don't say that! If someone hears you from above, watch your head."
Chen Rui listened intently; their mention of Experiment Subjects confirmed that this place likely harbored more secrets. Once the guards left, he swiftly emerged from his hiding spot and quietly moved along the corridor. His goal was to find more clues about these Experiment Subjects.
As he passed several rooms along the way, Chen Rui finally discovered a room sealed with an iron door equipped with an Electronic Lock. Drawing on years of experience, he took out a small Decoder and connected it to the lock mechanism, quickly bypassing its security.
As soon as the iron door swung open, a foul stench assaulted him. Frowning slightly, Chen Rui stepped inside. The sight within made his heart sink: in the center of the room stood several enormous Glass Containers filled with a dark green liquid that submerged distorted Human Bodies.
These individuals appeared to have undergone inhumane torture; their muscles were unnaturally expanded, their skin riddled with veins and scars, their eyes vacant as if their souls had long departed.
Is this what they call Experiment Subjects? Chen Rui stared coldly at those Glass Vessels, a chill creeping into his heart. The old methods had far surpassed any normal boundaries; Biological Enhancement Experiments were not only cruel but also utterly destructive to humanity itself.
Just as he focused on the Glass Vessels, he suddenly sensed a dangerous presence behind him. He swiftly turned around to find a towering figure standing at the doorway. The person was heavily muscled with a vacant gaze but held a glimmer of frenzied murderous intent in their eyes.
