Chapter 255: Poor Square Face
Professor Yuan, knowing Zhao Lexi's strength, naturally refused to back down. He shouted loudly towards the door, "Forcing guests to stay is your so-called hospitality! A deputy base chief is nothing but a selfish, self-serving scoundrel. He has no selfish motives, he just arrests people to boost your political achievements! As for the future of the survivors, I think it's your future in your career! I need to ask Nie Ping'an how he got promoted..."

Li Qiong and Professor Wang jumped up, but even with four hands, they couldn't cover his mouth.

Zhao Lexi was secretly on guard.

At this moment, Li Yafei rushed in, furious: "Shut up, old man!"

The square-faced man immediately reached out and grabbed Professor Yuan's chin.

Li Qiong was so frightened that her legs trembled, but she still mustered up the courage to stand in front of Professor Yuan. However, the square-faced man was too fast. She had only taken one step when he had already reached Professor Yuan.

However, he stopped a meter away from the professor because he noticed that the little girl was standing in front of him, holding a foot-long, sharp weapon with the tip pointed directly at his crotch.

His pants were torn, revealing his tan underwear underneath.

He instinctively took a step back. The weapon looked like some kind of animal bone! Moreover, he was certain that his clothes hadn't touched the weapon, which showed just how sharp it was.

A burning desire flashed in the eyes of the man, who was a speed-powered evolved human. He desperately wanted to obtain this divine weapon, which left him no time to carefully consider why the little girl in front of him could so quickly insert herself between him and the professor.

Give me the item, and I'll spare your life!

"No!" Zhao Lexi refused decisively.

Professor Yuan said viciously, "The old ones are gone, the young ones and dogs are here... mmm..."

Taking advantage of his distraction by Zhao Lexi, Li Qiong and Professor Wang joined forces to tightly cover Professor Yuan's mouth and restrain his arms. Professor Wang whispered, "Why did you provoke them? They are the deputy base commander's men!"

Then he turned to Li Yafei and the square-faced man with a smile and said, "Don't take it personally. I'll talk to him, I'll talk to him, and he'll definitely know how good this place is."

Li Yafei snorted coldly and quickly turned to chase after Li Jun.

The square-faced man ignored Professor Wang's words, staring intently at the metallic bone in Zhao Lexi's hand, his eyes gleaming with determination.

After Li Yafei left, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Lexi's wrist.

Professor Wang, fearing that Zhao Lexi would be harmed, hurriedly shouted, "Give it to him, child, give it to him! She is Zhao Shiyun's younger sister, don't really hurt her." He knew she was powerful, but he wasn't sure of her strength, so he couldn't help but shout it out.

Zhao Lexi was thinking about Gao Jue's instructions: "Don't be afraid to make a big scene, as long as you're in the right, the bigger the better! There are many deputy base chiefs in the capital base, and the water is already murky. The more murky it is, the easier it will be for us to get out. Just be careful not to reveal your hand before you leave."

"How dare you steal my things!" Zhao Lexi shouted.

Before he finished speaking, the bone spur in his hand slid towards the square-faced man's right arm, "coincidentally" severing his tendon.

"Ah!" The man cried out in pain, clutching his wrist. He clearly knew what this small stab wound meant. His face was contorted with pain and hatred as he glared fiercely at Zhao Lexi.

The shock and fear on the girl's face led him to misjudge the situation; she was only able to injure him because of the sharpness of her weapon. It was a coincidence.

Initially, upon seeing the weapon in her hand, the square-faced man merely felt it was extraordinary and desired to possess it. Now, having personally experienced its exceptional nature and learned of the girl's identity, he felt even more strongly that this weapon was no ordinary item, and his desire transformed into a determination to have it: the higher-ups at the capital base already looked down on a successor from a second-rate base. If she knew what was good for her, fine; if not, she would simply die far from home, her status even lower than his own, a level four evolved human! His own sister was nothing more than cannon fodder; dying at his hands would be a blessing for her.

Thinking of this, the man no longer held back. He dodged the bone spur in Zhao Lexi's hand with his left hand and punched her head.

Zhao Lexi, however, seemed terrified and at a loss for what to do, wildly waving the bone spur in her hand, "accidentally" piercing the tendon in his left wrist.

The man, writhing in agony with both hands crippled, kicked out without a second thought. This kick, delivered with all his might, could have killed even a level four evolved beast in one blow.

But Zhao Lexi, seemingly stunned by fear, casually swung her arm again, severing the Achilles tendon of the square-faced man.

The man's body crashed heavily to the ground, his eyes blazing with fury, but he couldn't get up.

Only then did he realize: the weapon had only one point, and she had used that point alone to sever her tendons in her hands and feet—it was like piercing a thread hidden in her clothes with a needle. There was no way such a coincidence could happen! What ordinary person could accurately locate the tendons hidden beneath their skin?

At this moment, memories deep within the man's mind surfaced. He remembered that Li Jun had said that the girl before him was a disciple of Master Yuantong, and that she had studied martial arts for nearly ten years and was still quite skilled. Now that she possessed a weapon, it was no wonder that she could easily find and sever his tendons.

The anger on his square face turned to terror. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Lexi rushed over, wailing, and accidentally pierced his tongue and chin.

At the same time, Chengfeng, who was finally allowed to make a move by Zhao Lexi, couldn't wait to leave three deep, bone-revealing claw marks on the man's face.

His square face was contorted in pain, but he couldn't even utter a sound.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lexi chopped him in the neck with a chop and knocked him unconscious: just moments before Li Jun's men, who were guarding Professor Yuan outside the door, rushed in after hearing something was wrong.

Realizing what had happened, Li Qiong disregarded Professor Yuan and rushed to help Zhao Lexi.

"what happened?"

Zhao Lexi burst into tears and couldn't speak.

Li Qiong explained indignantly, "He tried to take Lele's weapon, but Lele refused and accidentally hurt him. You should take him away and treat his injuries. Look at him with his mouth full of blood; if he bleeds to death, you'll blame it on us."

The leading man with the crew cut was also a level four evolved human. He glanced at the bone spur in Zhao Lexi's hand and the evolved beast on her shoulder, raised an eyebrow, and asked no further questions. He simply ordered his men to take away the square-faced man, while he himself stood in the spot where the square-faced man had stood before him, looking at Zhao Lexi without saying a word.

Zhao Lexi buried her face in Li Qiong's arms, sobbing softly as if she had suffered a great injustice.

After this farce, no one dared to utter a sound. The lab technicians were all tiptoeing and distracted during their experiments, their ears sticking out longer than rabbit ears. They were chased away by the irritable Professor Wang and given a day off.

Soon, it was noon.
