The Law of Heaven

Chapter 40 Heroic Martyrdom
Aihara's spiritual essence has gradually recovered. His mental field manipulates thirty assault rifles, unleashing a barrage of bullets at the oncoming snake infants.

Controlling objects through multiple threads using mental power is no longer a complicated operation for him.

Gunfire roared, and a hail of bullets ricocheted through the narrow passage, causing the snake babies to scream and cry.

Fresh blood mixed with bodily fluids spurted out.

The bright firelight illuminated the hellish scene.

In reality, this level of firepower was insufficient to suppress such a massive horde of snake infants.

Aihara witnessed firsthand that occasionally one or two snake infants would take cover from the bullets under the cover of their companions, and if they could seize an opening to jump up, they could easily pounce on him and bite him.

But the snake babies did not do that; instead, they huddled together in terror, hissing and baring their fangs.

Aihara remained unmoved, his mental field rumbling and vibrating, as if the ten-meter distance was an insurmountable chasm.

The girls watched his retreating figure.

If it weren't for his bizarre appearance, he would indeed have a heroic stature.

pity.

"Sister Youqing".

Xiao Li murmured, "He seems to be more useful at handling these guns than you are."

This statement was very helpful to Aihara, but it seemed a bit tactless to Jiang Youqing.

Jiang Youqing didn't mind. She raised her hand to tuck a strand of wet hair behind her ear, pursed her lips, and said softly, "That's the might of the dragon. It not only has great destructive power, but also has a deterrent effect on any living being. Of course, this snake infant with little intelligence wouldn't dare to rush up."

A rare look of curiosity and confusion appeared in her clear, cold eyes, but she didn't delve into it further.

Although she wanted to know the principles behind the other person's ability to control firearms, she didn't like to pry into other people's privacy.

Dragon's Might?

Aihara was taken aback. This was the first time he had heard the term "Dragon's Might," and it sounded like an explanation of his abilities.

He didn't know the specific meaning of the dragon's might, but deep in his consciousness there was indeed a vision of an ancient dragon.

It's reasonable to say that he possesses dragon power.

Although he was very curious about it, Aihara was too embarrassed to ask in detail, otherwise he would expose that he knew nothing about his own abilities and make himself look like a fool.

Moreover, this is the current crisis situation.

"How much longer?"

He asked irritably.

His act of chivalry wasn't solely driven by a sense of chivalry; there were other reasons as well.

Firstly, Jiang Youqing is the chairman's student.

This connection might come in handy in the future.

Secondly, if a serum sample can indeed be made, it would be a good precaution for him.

Aihara was also worried about being contaminated.

Besides this there is another reason.

Aihara felt a slight pang in his heart. He could empathize with the feeling of desperately trying to do something, as if doing so would bring him closer to his deceased loved ones.

If my second uncle were still alive and here right now, he would probably lend a helping hand.

It wasn't because my second uncle was so great, but because this old man couldn't stand seeing young and beautiful girls being wronged.

This is a gene ingrained in the bones of many male animals—they just love to show off in front of the opposite sex!
"three minutes."

Jiang Youqing wiped the blood from her face and focused on the serum purification in the bio-lab. She inputted complex data and took notes at the same time.

The current process has entered the stage of centrifugation to separate the blood. The coagulated blood is rotated, and the solid and liquid components are separated.

The embryo samples in the bioreactor withered like plants that had lost their moisture, turning grayish-white.

The bio-hub opened, and thick fog billowed out.

This is a pale gold serum sample.

Blood samples that are definitely not human!
Jiang Youqing reacted quickly, using a syringe to draw up a total of five serum samples and transfer them into test tubes.

"Ness!"

Xiao Li squatted on the ground and cheered excitedly, then suddenly realized something and quickly helped her put the reagents into the bag.

Jiang Youqing also felt relieved, as if all her strength had been drained away. She squatted down on the ground, panting, her wide camouflage pants outlining her wonderful waist and hip curves.

She had never been so nervous in her life.

Compared to that, taking the college entrance exam is nothing.

"Are you two here to take a dump?"

Aihara couldn't help but complain, "Let's go."

Jiang Youqing was truly speechless. Even with her aloof nature, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She forced herself to get up without saying a word, but her body went limp and she almost fell over again. In the end, Xiao Li picked her up.

"Brother, a grenade."

Xiao Li threw three grenades on the ground and charged forward, carrying the girl in his arms like a giant bear.

"You go first, I'll cover the rear."

Aihara pushed the two girls forward, manipulating thirty assault rifles to suppress the fire, while he himself retreated little by little to a safe distance.

The snake babies screamed in agony, being shot backward, their thick, pungent blood gushing everywhere.

Snapped.

Aihara snapped his fingers.

He pulled the pin on the grenade remotely.

boom!
The grenade explodes.

The snake infants at the very front were instantly blasted into pieces, and even the ancient murals on the dome were shattered, with countless fragments of mud falling down.

Aihara's heart was bleeding.

These are ancient murals.

Something that's obviously genuine!

Just before retreating, Aihara's underlying code was triggered, and the auto-pickup function was activated again. He casually picked up a few fragments of the mural and stuffed them into his pocket.

“Retreat, retreat, retreat!”

Aihara turned around and chased after him, taking out his own hand grenade and running backwards.

Grenades exploded one after another.

The roar continued.

Xiao Li led the charge, and surprisingly, despite her rather plump appearance, she was surprisingly fast runner.

It charged around like a tank.

This reminded Aihara that the seemingly lazy giant pandas in the zoo are actually fierce beasts that can run at full speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour!
"Hey."

Jiang Youqing peeked out from Xiao Li's arms.

"Grandma, what do you want now?"

Aihara was a little alarmed, fearing that she might try to do something reckless again.

Jiang Youqing took out a sealed serum sample from her backpack and handed it to him: "I promised you."

Aihara was taken aback, then quickly took the serum sample and stuffed it into her pocket, scoffing, "Woman, at least you have a conscience."

Jiang Youqing smiled silently, took out a parchment scroll from her bag, and waved it in front of him: "You can have this information too, if you're interested."

She hesitated for a moment, then explained, panting slightly, "This information is very strange... Based on my experience extracting the serum sample just now, it seems that the Shi family remnants have actually been stagnant in their research on this technology."

Even the Shi family's annotations on this ancient alchemy contained many errors, until another person's handwriting appeared on the document. That person's annotations played a crucial role in this research.

In other words, someone helped the Shi family complete the extraction of the serum and perfected the technology.

For a moment, Aihara's thoughts seemed to freeze, as if even the flow of time had slowed down.

Jiang Youqing's movements as she waved the document seemed so slow to him; the writing on the parchment scroll seemed to sway, yet it appeared magnified countless times.

clear and distinct.

This ancient alchemical text contains the original version of the annotations, but there are also some annotations that look very new and were clearly added later.

The handwriting in that section of the annotations was very ugly.

It was crooked and wobbly, like a dog crawling.

Aihara's handwriting was also similarly scrawled.

This is clearly my second uncle's handwriting!
Aihara's mind went blank.

Could my second uncle also be a partner in this group?
No, that's not right.

If that's the case, then my second uncle shouldn't have died here.

Aihara didn't want to believe that his second uncle would help with such a heinous experiment, but if it was just serum extraction, that would be better.

I don't know if my second uncle did it voluntarily or under duress.

Aihara was in a state of utter confusion, feeling that his second uncle was becoming increasingly unfamiliar to him.

Damn it, does my second uncle have this kind of ability?

The image of Dr. Toki flashed through Aihara's mind.

Could it be that he killed my second uncle...?

"what happened to you?"

For the first time, Jiang Youqing saw confusion in this strange man's eyes, and she became a little curious.

"It's nothing, thank you."

Aihara also put the document into his pocket.

Jiang Youqing hummed in agreement: "I don't know who you are, and since you won't tell me, I won't ask. This serum is very important to me, and I want to thank you no matter what."

That being said, the girl's eyes held a certain depth.

It was as if they had already guessed something.

Aihara felt that she had some outrageous suspicion, and said with a sneer, "Instead of saying thank you, give me a large sum of money. I really need it."

Jiang Youqing's eyes turned strange, and she shook her head, saying, "But I don't have much money either."

Aihara was taken aback: "You don't have any money either?"

Jiang Youqing said expressionlessly, "If I were very rich, why would I need to work for a company?"

Aihara was taken aback; what she said made a lot of sense.

But the chairman's students don't have money either?
Capital is truly evil.

"Turn off the power, you can rest now."

Aihara sighed helplessly.

Now is not the time for nonsense; the surging tide of snake babies is still chasing us, and the crisis is not over yet.

There were many forbidden laboratories on both sides of the secret passage, but they no longer had time to explore them. They had already obtained the serum samples, and being greedy for more might cost them their lives.

Xiao Li turned on her flashlight, and the light illuminated the metal door in front of her, next to which was a combination lock.

Jiang Youqing raised her hand in her arms.

At that very moment, Aihara reached out his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched: "Let's exert force together."

Jiang Youqing nodded slightly.

boom!
The magnetic field and the intention combined to forcefully smash the lock on the metal door and push it open.

·
·
A fierce storm swept over us, carrying with it the fresh, earthy smell of rain and the glaring light of streetlights.

Xiao Li slid out with a thud.

Jiang Youqing also stood up, her eyes suddenly turning sharp. A military knife detached from her leg wraps, piercing the torrential rain with a resonant hum. Xiangyuan also rushed out, casually pushing the metal door shut to prevent the snake infant from escaping.

Outside the secret passage was a helipad, where helicopters were already hovering in mid-air, their propellers stirring up the torrential rain, and the gale-force winds howling around, carrying raindrops everywhere.

Below the cliff was a mighty river, its flow made extremely turbulent by the torrential rain, surging like a tidal wave.

No wonder they use helicopters here!
"I never expected you all to survive."

Dr. Shi sat in the cockpit, signaling the pilot to take the controls with peace of mind, and said with a smile, "However... none of the people who have entered Fog Mountain over the years have ever come out alive. You will all die here in the end."

Aihara fell silent.

He thought of his second uncle.

According to Dr. Shi, it is highly likely that they were the ones who killed the second uncle who broke into Wushan.

When Aihara first approached the murderer, the ancient dragon in his mind spewed out a torrent of breath, its anger brewing.

"So what if you die here? Your secret has been exposed. I have already sent your image back to headquarters. Even just one frame is enough."

Jiang Youqing said coldly, "The source of the frequent pollution in this city over the years is your Shi family. The next time we enter the other side, it won't just be a single combat unit."

The helicopter hovered in mid-air, and Dr. Shi leaned over the cabin door and smiled gently: "How many experimental subjects can be created in a hundred years? We have already released the beasts sleeping in the mountains, and that will be an invincible army."

You can't escape, and it's difficult for outsiders to get in. Perhaps in time, the Deep Blue Alliance will gather the power to expel these experimental subjects, but not now.

In short, see you in hell.

Dr. Shi laughed arrogantly.

Laughter echoed through the wind and rain.

At that very moment, countless menacing black shadows emerged from the dense forest. The mutated experimental subjects had been waiting there for a long time, waiting for their prey to come to them.

Dr. Shi had planned this all along.

Even if the three opponents manage to escape the secret passage, they will be exhausted and eventually fall into the trap.

That's why he laughed so arrogantly.

Bang.

Dr. Shi's smile suddenly froze.

The helicopter's tail fin shattered with a loud bang, as if it had been snapped in two.

The immense inertia caused the helicopter to lose control and plunge into a windswept canyon, thick smoke billowing from its tail.

Dr. Shi turned around and froze.

A pitch-black monster stood on the edge of the cliff, staring at him with eyes that seemed to flow with molten gold, like the gaze of a demon.

The strange man clenched his right hand in mid-air, as if this inconspicuous clench had crushed the helicopter's tail fin.

"Are you laughing at your mother?"

Aihara stared intently at the out-of-control helicopter and said in a cold voice, "You should take a look at yourself first."

You idiot.

His mental field had a range of ten meters.

This idiot isn't running away, he's just standing there laughing.

The helicopter crashed with a loud bang. Even though the pilot tried his best to maneuver it, it was to no avail. Dr. Shi, who was not wearing a seatbelt in the cabin, was almost thrown out and looked extremely disheveled.

Finally, the helicopter was about to crash into the river, and Dr. Shi's out-of-control curses could be faintly heard in the wind and rain.

boom!
An explosion rang out, and a fireball shot into the sky.

I don't know whether Dr. Shi is dead or alive.

Aihara sneered.

The vibrating field of thought overturned the rain curtain.

Jiang Youqing glanced sideways and sensed a hint of anger in the strange man's emotions.

Dragon's might also grow in anger.

"Sister Youqing, what should we do?"

Xiao Li shrank into a corner.

"There's probably no way around it."

Jiang Youqing said softly, "Although I also brought a biological spirit that can heal injuries, it probably won't be of any use against so many experimental subjects."

The experimental subjects in the dense forest lay dormant like wild beasts, emitting mournful howls, as if demons were reveling.

Initially, the test subjects merely lay in wait in the forest, but now they could no longer suppress their most primal urges and roared as they emerged from the darkness. Their faces were as pale as corpses, but their eyes were blood-red.

They were not mummies, but rather as strong as oxen, covered in hard scales, and their legs had degenerated into snake tails!

It's yet another new type of species.

The grotesque and terrifying experimental subjects gathered like mountains and seas, their numbers impossible to count; they were nothing short of a horde of insane beasts.

This is the trap set by Dr. Shi.

It was also a desperate situation.

After the assassination attempt failed, Jiang Youqing had exhausted most of her spiritual energy, and her teammates had probably all gone their separate ways, so no one would come to her aid.

Xiao Li herself has no combat ability.

Aihara retained some spiritual qualities, but not many.

"Xiao Li, get the bomb ready."

Jiang Youqing was not afraid of death. She simply took out the blood sample and put it into a strange wooden box, saying expressionlessly, "No matter what happens next... I will keep the blood sample safe."

The woman took out a silver badge, pressed it onto the wooden box, and casually placed it in the grass.

Xiao Li had no objection to this scene, but took out a large bag of C4 explosives from his backpack. Judging from the amount, it was enough to blow the entire hilltop upside down.

"It's great to fight alongside you."

Jiang Youqing said softly.

"Well, I'm happy too."

Xiao Li said pitifully, clutching the explosives.

That is at this moment.

Aihara suddenly asked, "If I can lure the test subjects away, can you survive?"

Xiao Li was taken aback: "Huh?"

Jiang Youqing, puzzled, frowned and said, "Yes, as long as we deal with these test subjects, with the supplies we carry, we can probably survive safely in the mountains for more than a week."

But in the current situation, Aihara has no way of luring these test subjects away; no one has that ability.

Aihara waved his hand: "Then give me your explosives, then find a place to hide and survive."

He didn't intend for the two girls to die here.

Dr. Shi was clearly unaware that Jiang Youqing had cracked the serum production technology and perfectly replicated it.

This technology will surely be of great use if it is preserved.

Otherwise, my second uncle wouldn't have appeared in the mountains.

Since that's the case, Aihara must ensure that this girl survives, as she will become a key trump card in dealing with this group in the future.

Besides, the clone created by the Ghostly Clown will probably collapse in a while, and he must find a way to leave the other side and bring the spoils back to the Mirage.

This is a good opportunity.

Of course, these reasons are not important.

The key point is that Dr. Shi wants them dead.

So Aihara insisted that they live.

"I will lure these test subjects away and then come back to you alive. I don't know how long it will take me; it could be a day, two days, or even longer."

Aihara said calmly, "Remember, you owe me a favor... Don't die before I come back."

Jiang Youqing and Xiao Li were taken aback.

They didn't even realize what he was going to do.

boom!
Aihara snapped his fingers.

Squeezing out the last bit of spiritual energy, the mental field of the Alaya consciousness trembled violently, unleashing itself in its strongest form.

Ancient Dragon Roar.

A bracelet resembling a swimming dragon materialized on his wrist!

For a fleeting moment, the test subjects, having caught a whiff of that scent, went almost mad, charging out of the dense forest like wild beasts, ignoring the astonished girl, and pounced on her.

This scene defies common sense.

In theory, given the brutality of the experimental subjects, they would tear apart any life they see, indiscriminately, friend or foe.

But at this moment, the test subjects seemed to have had some kind of underlying code modified, completely ignoring the existence of others, with only that dark monster in their eyes!

how can that be!

"Ah."

Aihara grabbed the bomb from a distance, gave the test subjects a sinister smile, and leaped off the cliff, plunging into the endless storm.

There was no trade-off.

There was no discussion.

There was no room for communication whatsoever.

It was as if Jiang Youqing and Xiao Li's opinions didn't matter at all; they were simply given orders.

The order to survive.

"Weird brother!"

Xiao Li stared blankly at the scene, so frightened that she covered her mouth, as if she had witnessed the death of her strange brother.

"Hey……"

Jiang Youqing murmured absentmindedly, "Are you crazy?"

No one answered her.

The test subjects jumped off the cliff like fanatical believers, seemingly unaware that it was a bottomless abyss.

This spectacular scene resembled countless believers collectively martyring on the edge of a cliff, with lightning flashing across the night sky illuminating their terrifying silhouettes as thunder roared past.

Countless test subjects rushed towards Aihara, but he simply spread his arms and threw the explosive charge onto a tree branch on the edge of the cliff, detonating the detonator with his mind at the extreme distance.

Facing the storm, Aihara gave the middle finger.

"Goodbye."

boom!
There was an explosion.

Everything was submerged.

That mysterious strange man just disappeared.

The shockwave from the explosion nearly knocked the girls over.

A strong wind blew Jiang Youqing's hair across her forehead.

Her eyes were filled with confusion and shock.

The meeting and the parting were both too fleeting. She never even knew the man's name, but this tragic scene was deeply imprinted in her heart and she could never forget it.
