Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

Jack lay on the ground coughing up blood.

Chen Yang pressed down slightly with his foot, stepping on the broken bone in his back.

Jack grimaced in pain, gasping for breath like a broken bellows.

"You don't have to tell me. I'll crush every single bone in your body, inch by inch, and then use some of my special techniques to heal you. Once it's healed, I'll crush it again."

Chen Yang looked at him slowly and deliberately.

He said this without a trace of emotion on his face.

Shen Man frowned as she listened, then stepped forward and pointed a gun at Jack's head.

"What exactly are you Black Feathers trying to do by going through all this trouble to create this Reversal Yin Gathering Array's core? How many accomplices do you have in Jiangcheng? If you don't tell the truth, you won't get a quick death today."

Shen Man questioned him sternly.

Jack's ashen face was contorted with pain, yet he still managed to laugh out loud.

"You ignorant pigs, you have no idea about the great plan of the adults."

Jack coughed up blood as he spoke in broken sentences.

Chen Yang raised his foot and stepped on his right shoulder, pressing him down.

The sound of bones grinding together was exceptionally clear in the empty underground hall.

"You can't speak like a human being, huh? Then don't blame me for being rough. I think you don't even want your hands anymore."

Chen Yang was preparing to dislocate his other arm.

Jack made a strange gurgling sound in his throat, then his eyes rolled back and he spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood.

"It's no use. I won't tell you anything. Pearl Lake, Seven Star Water Vein, you will all die. The Lord will descend!"

After Jack shouted those last words in a frenzy, his body began to convulse violently and uncontrollably.

Chen Yang reacted quickly, taking two large steps back and pulling Shen Man along with him.

Several large bulges quickly appeared under Jack's skin, looking as if some living thing was scurrying around inside.

Then a strong, fishy stench erupted from his mouth.

"This foreigner is pretty ruthless. He has a miniature, highly toxic sac hidden in his body. Once the leak mechanism is triggered, he will self-destruct. Even his brain has turned to water."

Chen Yang looked at the pool of bubbling blood on the ground and disgustedly rubbed the soles of his shoes on the clean cement ground next to him.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Shen Man immediately took out the specially made encrypted communicator.

"Field Task Force 2 is calling headquarters. A Black Feather biochemical base has been discovered underground in an abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs. Intense firefights have taken place at the site."

"All targets have been eliminated; there are no survivors."

"Requesting support to seal off the site. Immediately dispatch chemical defense troops to clean up the mutant remains. Take precautions to implement biological and chemical isolation measures."

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

After hanging up the communicator, Shen Man turned to look at Chen Yang, who was standing by watching the show, and reached out her hand.

"Take out that parchment scroll; I need to take it back to the station for archiving as important evidence."

Shen Man adopted a tough stance, adopting the demeanor of a Special Investigations Bureau chief.

Chen Yang pulled the tattered parchment from his down jacket, waved it in his hand, and handed half of it over with a smile.

"Commander Shen, we're talking business, but this is spoils of war that I fought tooth and nail to get. According to our previous agreement, whoever gets what's inside first gets it."

Chen Yang pulled his hand back as he spoke, not intending to actually give it to her.

Shen Man glared at him and took the tablet from Zhao Gang.

"Don't try to fool me. This kind of thing involves major security secrets and I won't let you take it away. You'll only cause trouble if you take it back."

She simply ripped off a corner of the parchment and took several high-resolution photos of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern on it.

"I'll take the rubbing for my mission report. Keep the original as a family heirloom, lest one night Black Feather's men sneak into your door and slit your throat."

Shen Man put the tablet away and replied irritably.

The four of them retraced their steps and walked up the dark, damp passage.

The passage was too narrow, so Chen Yang went ahead to scout the way.

By the time they climbed back down the rusty iron ladder to the abandoned boiler room on the ground, it was completely dark outside.

The cold wind of the night blew in through the broken factory windows, sending shivers down one's spine.

Chen Yang stretched and took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling that his lungs were finally a bit cleaner.

Shen Man had only taken two steps forward when a piercing pain shot through her ankle. She gasped, swayed, and almost lost her balance.

"Sir, your foot injury is quite serious. It's even more swollen than before. Why don't we put the mission aside for now and go to the emergency room first?"

Li Qiang offered a concerned reminder from the side.

"No need to go to the hospital, it's just a superficial injury."

"I need to rush back to the Special Investigation Bureau for a meeting to summarize and report the intelligence I've gathered today."

Shen Man gritted her teeth and insisted on walking out, her forehead covered in cold sweat from the pain.

"Mingzhu Lake and the Seven Star Water Vein... We need to get the intelligence department to find out immediately what Hei Yu is up to there."

Chen Yang couldn't stand it, so he took a few steps forward and grabbed Shen Man's slender arm.

They teased her mercilessly:

"If Commander Shen keeps pushing himself, he'll be able to command from a wheelchair tomorrow. I can't bear to look at the sight of the dignified head of the Special Investigation Bureau, the most beautiful woman in Jiangcheng, going to arrest people on crutches."

"It's none of your business. Let go. This is my job. I don't need an outsourced person to teach me how to do things."

Shen Man struggled to pull her hand out of Chen Yang's iron grip.

Chen Yang ignored her completely, and with a forceful pull, he half-hugs and half-carries Shen Man towards the gate of the abandoned factory.

"Zhao Gang, Li Qiang, you two go do what you're supposed to do. There are reinforcements coming to take over soon. I'll take your commander with me for now. Let's find a quiet place to treat her foot properly."

Chen Yang turned around and waved to the two people standing behind him in a daze, looking like he was taking on everything.

Zhao Gang scratched his head and glanced at Shen Man, who was being forcibly dragged forward by Chen Yang.

Zhao Gang was a stubborn and straightforward person, and he grabbed his gun, wanting to chase after her to protect Shen Man.

"This isn't in accordance with the rules. The superior hasn't given the order to disband yet. Shouldn't we have to write a self-criticism if we leave our posts without permission?"

Li Qiang could see that Zhao Gang was completely exhausted.

He grabbed Zhao Gang's tactical vest strap and yanked him back.

He winked at Zhao Gang, grinning slyly, with an expression that said he knew everything.

"Are you out of your mind? With Consultant Chen's powerful backing right here, do you really need to worry about the commander's safety?"

"They're trying to build a relationship, why are you going to be a third wheel? Hurry up and fix up that beat-up SUV we brought, get ready to go back and write your report."

Although Shen Man was far away, she could still hear clearly what her two subordinates were saying about her, and she turned pale with anger.

He turned around and shouted at the two of them:

"Li Qiang, shut your filthy mouth! If you dare utter another word, believe me, I'll deduct half a month's operational allowance from your pay tomorrow!"

Just then, at the fork in the road just outside the abandoned factory, a taxi that was working the night shift had just dropped off a passenger and was preparing to turn around.

Chen Yang stood directly in the middle of the road and waved vigorously. The taxi braked suddenly and came to a steady stop in front of them.

Chen Yang opened the back door and, ignoring Shen Man's resistance, pressed her down into the back seat.

He squeezed in as well, slamming the car door shut behind him.

"Driver, go to the city center, take the fastest route."

Chen Yang fluently stated the requirements.

The taxi driver, a man with a big beard, glanced at the two strangely dressed young men in the rearview mirror, asked no questions, and sped off.

Shen Man sat in the back row, her chest heaving with anger.

She nudged Chen Yang's ribs with her elbow, then turned her head angrily to look at the night view rushing past the window.

"Do you think you're so powerful, daring to kidnap your superior in front of my men? Do you believe I'll shoot you right now?"

Shen Man bit her lip and warned Chen Yang in a low voice.

"Commander Shen, you've emptied your gun. Who are you trying to scare?"

"Besides, I'm doing this out of concern for you, afraid you'll end up with a lifelong disability and won't be able to get married. You're not only ungrateful, but you're repaying kindness with enmity."

Chen Yang leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head, watching her throw a tantrum with a leisurely air.
