You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The moment the special police force poured into the Skynet base, the entire underground space turned into two battlefields.

The outer perimeter is a standard urban counter-terrorism operation.

Su Qingge led over a hundred fully armed special police officers, advancing room by room through the passageways and corridors, amidst the sounds of gunfire, explosions, and tactical commands.

But the battlefield deep within the hall belongs to only one person.

Lin Chen.

His gaze pierced through the chaotic crowd, past the wreckage of machine gun turrets burned to scrap metal by EMP, past the scattered corpses of mercenaries, and finally settled on the massive alloy cage in the corner of the hall.

Inside the cage, Jiang Tingxue leaned back in her chair, her face so pale it was almost transparent, her lips devoid of any color. She looked like a white chrysanthemum ravaged by a storm, ready to wither at any moment.

Her eyes were still open.

Those usually cool eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Lin Chen through the gaps in the iron cage. Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but her vocal cords, locked by the muscle relaxant, only managed to squeeze out a breathy sound.

"Forest……"

Lin Chen took a step.

"stop!"

The serpent emerged from the shadows beside the throne, his handsome face now contorted beyond recognition, veins bulging on his forehead, and eyes bloodshot.

Behind him, five enormous, distorted figures slowly approached from the darkness.

They wore different equipment than the previous mercenaries; they didn't have exoskeletons, only simple black vests. The muscles on their bare arms were twisted and bulging, and the blood vessels under their skin were an abnormal dark purple, wriggling like earthworms under their skin.

The latest version of the pain-free gene drug.

Lin Chen had seen that dark blue diluted version at the auction, but what these five people were injected with was clearly the undiluted original solution.

Their pupils were so dilated they swallowed the irises, thin strands of saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths, and their breathing was heavy and slow, like five diesel engines that had just started.

[God-level insight] The scan results instantly appeared in his mind—the heart rates of all five people dropped to below 35 beats per minute, their adrenaline concentration was 20 times that of normal people, and their pain transmission nerves had been completely blocked.

Simply put, these five things can no longer be considered human.

They feel no pain, no fear, and will not retreat; they will continue to attack until the heart stops beating.

Viper stood behind the five assassins, a ferocious, almost insane smile on his face.

"Lin Chen! You're not leaving here alive today!"

He suddenly waved his hand.

"kill!"

The five assassins moved at the same time.

There was no tactical coordination, no fancy moves, just a pure, bestial, straight-line charge.

Five directions, each carrying a human shell weighing over 140 kilograms, with kinetic energy enough to break a concrete pillar, rolled towards Lin Chen in an overwhelming manner.

The ground was shaking.

Lin Chen stood still, motionless.

There was no tension or excitement in his eyes, only an extremely pure, bone-chilling disgust.

This disgust was not directed at the five pathetic creatures in front of me who had lost their humanity.

It's aimed at the person who made them.

"No pain sensation?"

Lin Chen's voice was very soft.

"Then I'll give you a different way to die."

He charged forward at the head of the assassin, shooting straight out.

Bajiquan, Tieshankao.

The essence of this move lies not in the fist, but in the body.

Lin Chen's right shoulder, right rib, and right hip formed a unified impact surface. The power of his entire body was twisted into a single force through the rotation of his waist and hips, like wringing a towel, and released in a concentrated manner at the moment of contact.

His shoulder struck the center of the assassin's chest.

There are no fancy sound effects.

There was only one extremely dull "plop," like a watermelon being run over by a truck.

The assassin's sternum was broken into six pieces in the middle. The broken bone fragments pierced his lungs and heart like shrapnel. His chest cavity collapsed by a third at the moment of impact. His entire body flew backward at a speed that defied the laws of physics, drawing a five-meter-long arc in the air before crashing heavily against the alloy wall, sliding to the ground, and never moving again.

One blow kills.

The pain doesn't even have time to be processed by the brain, because the spinal cord, which carries the pain signals, has already severed in the same millisecond as the sternum shatters.

The other four assassins did not react.

They are not afraid, and they do not show any emotional reaction when they see their companions being beaten like this.

They just kept rushing.

The one that lunged from the left opened its arms, attempting a bear hug.

Lin Chen sidestepped his arms, his right hand transforming into a blade. The ulna on the outside of his palm, hardened to near steel density by the gene-enhancing fluid, precisely cleaved the spinous process of the third cervical vertebra at the back of the assassin's neck.

The precision of this strike comes from the ability of [God-level Insight] to see through the human skeletal structure, while the force comes from the bone-crushing power of a body ten times stronger.

Click.

Cervical spine fracture.

The spinal cord was physically severed at the point of fracture.

The assassin instantly lost all nerve control from the neck down. His limbs fell limply to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, becoming a lifeless mass of flesh.

His eyes were still moving.

His mouth was still opening and closing.

But the body is already a living corpse.

The third and fourth arrived almost simultaneously.

Lin Chen did not use any more punches.

His left hand grabbed the wrist of the third assassin who was reaching out, their fingers interlocked, and he twisted it. The bones of his arm made a series of crisp sounds under the crushing force of his grip, like crushing the sugar coating of a string of candied hawthorns.

He used the body of the third assassin as a weapon, swinging it around and smashing it down on the fourth assassin with tremendous force.

Two bodies weighing 140 kilograms collided in mid-air, producing a dull thud that made your teeth ache.

The fourth assassin was thrown out and crashed into the support pillar of the iron cage, denting the back of his head.

The third one was thrown out by Lin Chen, rolled three times, and tried to get up, but his shattered elbow joint could no longer support his body.

The fifth assassin circled around to Lin Chen's back.

Its attack method is different from the previous four.

Instead of using its fists, it opened its mouth and bit down on Lin Chen's nape like a wild beast.

Lin Chen didn't even turn his head.

[God-level hearing] It had already locked onto the location and attack trajectory when its teeth were still twelve centimeters away from its skin.

His right elbow lashed backward.

The elbow struck the assassin precisely in the temple.

The temporal bone in this location is the weakest area of ​​the human skull, and even genetic enhancement cannot change this inherent weakness in the skeletal structure.

The elbow strike, delivered with ten times the force, pierced the temporal bone, sending a shockwave into the cranial cavity and creating a devastating tremor inside the brain.

The assassin's eyeballs bulged outwards suddenly, his jaw stopped clenching in a half-open position, and then he fell straight backwards like a collapsing wall.

Five suicide soldiers.

From the first one to the last one to fall.

Forty-seven seconds.

As the viper looked at the wreckage and the still-twitching body, his knees began to buckle.

"No...this is impossible..."

He turned and tried to run away.

Lin Chen had already reached him.

I stepped on the side of his knee.

The snake's lower leg bent outward at an angle that the human body absolutely could not allow, and the sounds of ligaments breaking and bones shattering rang out almost simultaneously.

He screamed and fell to the ground, and then his other leg suffered the same fate.

"Just wait and see how long you'll be in jail."

Lin Chen stepped over him and walked toward the iron cage.

The cage door, made of high-quality steel, was locked with an alloy padlock the size of a bowl.

Lin Chen gripped the lock, his fingers tightening.

The metal groaned shrilly under his palm, then deformed and broke like mud.

He crushed the lock with his bare hands.

The cage door was pulled open.

Lin Chen walked in, knelt down on one knee in front of Jiang Tingxue, and reached out to untie the restraints on her wrists and ankles.

Jiang Tingxue's body was completely unable to exert any strength due to the effects of the muscle relaxant.

She couldn't lean back in the chair and her upper body went limp, but Lin Chen caught her and she fell into his arms.

Her face was pressed against his chest, feeling his strong, powerful heartbeat.

Tears streamed down his face silently, soaking his shirt.

She still couldn't speak.

But her fingers tightened their grip on the corner of his clothes, using every last bit of her remaining strength.

Lin Chen looked down at her.

He didn't say anything to comfort him.

He just held her a little tighter.
