    Lear’s expressed wishes and Wang Zheng’s current wishes were clearly two different matters. Since they would not sit and wait for death, then they had to go on the offense. Siemen Kang had briefed the two on the route. Zhang Shan and Ao Ziwei were forced to stay. The key was that their physical skills were not up to such missions. Honestly, even if they tumbled into Zerg, these two still had hopes of escaping. But if Zhang Shan and Ao Ziwei were added to theplement, they would die without question. Zhang Shan’s warp distance was too short.


    Wang Zheng and Lie Xin would go, as they said. Zhang Shan dearly wanted to go. But he was clear that under such circumstances, with his abilities, he would just be a liability.


    As long as they found the Conqueror there would be hope.


    After confirming the situation at the exit, the door opened noiselessly. Wang Zheng and Lie Xin slipped out. Lie Xin had toe as well, because besides Wang Zheng’s Conqueror, there was also a prototype mecha here that Gemini Star used to deal with the abyss Zergs. It was also a super-type fighter, and its capabilities were excellent. If the two of them could get it, then their odds of surviving were increased, as long as the worms did not notice them.


    And the troops outside were definitely moving as well, only that the sealed base had to be slowly broken into. And such tremors indeed attracted arge portion of the worms’ attention. They had already reached the outer exit, and were waiting for the door to open.


    But not all. More than 10 Zerg were still wandering about theboratory, hunting for survivors. Clearly, the overmind was still controlling things.


    The worms, once released, would not give up their chance at life.


    Wang Zheng and Lie Xin were carefully creeping out. The heavy stench of blood was in the air. In truth, there was no need for Lie Xin toe. Only, Wang Zheng had not been able to refuse her strong demands. In Lie Xin’s words, Wang Zheng had no right to control her, and her ability was not much less than Wang Zheng’s.


    Wang Zheng’s ear was stered against the wall. He felt some tremors from his surroundings, but they were not big. If the worms were nearby they were difficult to discover. Their ability to quash tremors was very strong. Once they determined that the coast was clear, the two advanced speedily. Now they had to gamble.


    Facing abyss Zergs without a mecha, they could only run or hide. Fighting would be death.


    Wang Zheng raised his own sensing abilities to the maximum. He sensitively scanned his surroundings. Stirrings in the air, smell, even the sense of danger.


    Lie Xin was the same, but Lie Xin’s response was different from Wang Zheng’s. She was very excited, liberated in her fear. Only when she was close to death could she find herself.


    It felt scary but was uneventful. The two of them left the danger zone. Outside, things were quieter. Most of the worms had been drawn to another area that was near the entrance. Whether because the military were prioritizing the experimental results or the people inside, the rescue was doing their best. Wang Zheng had noints about their efficacy.


    Wang Zheng did not think that he, Lie Xin or even Ao Ziwei had that kind of value. In truth, even Butcher might not have that big an influence. The only one with such value might be the experiments or Luo Er...


    Tch, Elite Academy X really was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There were VIPs ensconced everywhere.


    Their mode ofmunication was Skylink. Through the monitoring cameras, Zhang Shan and the rest could still see a portion of the region. They could alert Wang Zheng and Lie Xin to the presence of worms, and allow them to dodge. This was an advantage, but they did not know if it would hold given the worms’ destruction.


    Zhang Shan was fairly nervous. Damn this was crazy. Wang Zheng was like Xuan Zhang (TN: Priest from Journey to the West), attracting demons and monsters everywhere he went. He was worse than Xuan Zhang. At least the demons were rushing towards Xuan Zhang. Wang Zheng was the kind to get shot even when he was lying down. He attracted trouble.


    It was not Zhang Shan’s first time experiencing such things. Of course he was afraid of death, but Zhang Shan hoped that if he had to be killed, it would be a glorious death on the battlefield. To die here like this would be terrible. His transformation would be wasted.


    “Ziwei, everything’s fine. Wang Zheng is a durable guy. He even escaped from the abyss, let alone a ce like this.” Zhang Shan saidfortingly.


    Ao Ziwei nodded. Basais was especially panicky. His face was pale. He was not too suited to a situation like this, which he had never experienced before. Luo Er was perfectly unafraid of death, and rather excited. But Wang Zheng knew that this was a ssic response to having never been in battle. Either they were afraid of death, or ignorant to the dangers. If it was not for the rest holding her back, Luo Er would have wanted to go along, thinking it was all fun and games.


    “Wang Zheng, somethings up ahead.” Butcher said.


    Not far away, two abyss Zergs were tearing up corpses. They were not eating, just destroying. The scent of blood was thick, and Wang Zheng and Lie Xin had already halted. Wang Zheng’s five senses were extremely sensitive. He had also smelt the fresh blood in the air. Both nodded slightly, and obscured their breath.


    This was a skill that only martial arts practitioners could aplish. Lie Xin clearly did not need Wang Zheng’s guidance. Although she could not beat him, but in terms of martial arts theory, she was much more knowledgeable than Wang Zheng.


    The two abyss Zergs were not the sickle type, but even higher ranked Wolf Spider and Ghost Shell worm varieties.


    The two abyss Zergs were very sensitive. The Wolf Spider Zerg raised its head, suspiciously looking about. It shook its head, and suddenly leaped to the left. Humans.


    The Ghost Shell worm closely followed. This type of Zerg was not as agile in its movements. Its ground speed was still fine, but onplex terrain it was farckingpared to the sickle Zerg and Wolf Spider Zerg. But this thing’s defenses were frustrating.


    Lie Xin suddenly moved. Almost at the same time Wang Zheng held Lie Xin down, shaking his head.


    They could not make it in time. This would be throwing their lives away.


    “Calm down!” Wang Zheng said in a low voice.


    Before long, the two worms switched targets, and Wang Zheng and Lie Xin continued forward. Wang Zheng was paying special attention to Lie Xin. Her state was not stable. Her judgment was not usually this rash.


    “Wang Zheng, after you pass through this block, that will be it. But there’s no surveince there. You’re on your own.” Butcher said. This was the hardest part. With vision, there was no need to confront the worms head on, unless they were surrounded. But without the cameras, they could only depend on themselves.


    To others, it looked very dangerous, but Wang Zheng’s understanding of danger waspletely different. “Lie Xin, follow me in. Don’t stray too far from me.”


    Lie Xin nodded. The two passed through the final obstacle. In the pitch-ck hall, things were destroyed. Scattered lumps of flesh were everywhere. An average person might have been repulsed by the gruesomeness of the scene alone, but Wang Zheng carefully walked in with Lie Xin in tow, expressionless. This ce was quite badly trashed, and light was dim. Wang Zheng and Lie Xin had no problems with night vision.


    Everything was peaceful. So much so that Wang Zheng’s hairs stood on end.


    Suddenly, he stopped and pulled Lie Xin back.


    His body gradually hunkered down. Quiet... Quieter. Quieten the heart, and be one with the surroundings.


    Nothing. It seemed like nothing, but that curious sense continued to grow. Suddenly, Wang Zheng saw a few shadows.


    In an instant, the few shadows rushed out, tearing up the ce in a frenzy. Five Wolf Spider Zergs,pletely hidden in the shadows just a moment ago. Wang Zheng and Lie Xin looked at each other with despair.


    These five Wolf Spider Zergs were clearly guarding the ce. This was futile. The five Wolf Spider Zergs had no intention of leaving. After trashing the ce for a while, theyid down in ambush again.


    If there had been no overmind worm, these worms would not behave this way. This must be amand from the overmind.


    D*mn it.


    Wang Zheng and Lie Xin retreated to a rtively safer ce. It looked to be a dead end in front of them. These worms had no intention of leaving, but this was a stretch they had to pass.


    “Wang Zheng, not good. F*ck, a Zerg has found us and is breaking down the door.”


    Zhang Shan’s voice came through. In the end they had been discovered. In the great hall, they dared not to move or make a sound. Time seemed to freeze. Now the worm had only found a door, but did not know what was behind it. If it attracted more worms, then they were doomed.


    “Wang Zheng, I’ll lure them away. You go get the mecha!” Lie Xin suddenly said.


    Wang Zheng shook his head. “No way.”


    “That’s the only way. Don’t be indecisive!” Lie Xin said.


    Wang Zheng eyed Lie Xin, and still shook his head. “It’s hopeless. There are five Zerg. You won’t be able to lure them. You’re justmitting suicide!”


    “That’s our only way. We have to try. Could it be that you like me, and are worried about me?” Lie Xin’s attitude was resolute.


    Wang Zheng stared at Lie Xin, trying to see through her soul. Suddenly he pinned her to the wall. Lie Xin’s chest heaved. The danger of the situation was stimting, and Lie Xin actually smiled.


    Wang Zheng could not smile, because he wanted to live. He stated each word clearly: “Lie Xin, suicide is an immature disy. Lie Guang was really an idiot, to actually give his life for yours!”


    In an instant, Lie Xin was like an angry leopard, struggling. “Say that again!”


    Wang Zheng pinned Lie Xin to the wall. “I said, your current actions are imbecilic and stupid. Lie Guang died in vain!”


    Lie Xin could not control herself, and opened her mouth to bellow. If she managed to, everyone would die...
