So they were thinking whether they should lend a hand to the Third Young Lady and kill the leader together, letting him bear all the blame and their share of sins when he dies. The young men of the An family can be willful, but they don't have to kill all their loyal subordinates.

"Wait! Why don't you believe it?" The team leader took out a wallet from his clothes and shook out everything inside.

It was a photo of An Ran with his autograph on it, and also a business card.

"This is..." An Xiao frowned.

The team leader picked up these things and handed them over carefully. An Xiao identified the authenticity of these things. He was also familiar with his brother's business card and handwriting. The business card was real, and the handwriting on the photo was also real, but this was far from enough.

The team leader took out another cell phone, and although there was no signal, he quickly dialed up An Ran's cell phone number.

"This doesn't prove that you are my brother's friend. How do I know it wasn't you who stole it?" An Xiao looked at him coldly.

"I have one more thing to prove it, look!" This time the team leader pulled out the photo album from his phone, which contained a photo with An Ran.

"I heard that photo-Photoshop technology is very advanced now." A mercenary nearby spoke in a shaky Federal Mandarin.

"If you don't believe me, just kill me. I apologize for almost hurting you by mistake." The leader had to pretend, "But you have to apologize to your brother later."

In fact, he is not An Ran's friend. He accidentally injured An Ran in the third district before. Although An Ran did not pursue the matter, he was afraid of retaliation and took the initiative to find An Ran to apologize.

At that time, he was cautious, fearing that the family would use this matter to abandon him in the future, so he begged An Ran to take a photo with him and get an autograph or something. An Ran was not as indifferent and cold as she seemed, and she agreed to his request.

Now it comes in handy, used to disguise as An Ran's friend.

"You said you came to save me." An Xiao still didn't quite believe it.

"Someone tried to murder you. It was someone from the family. We rushed here as soon as possible." The leader nodded.

"My family wants to murder me?"

"It's not you, it's your friend." The team leader reacted quickly to fill the gap, but they did come for the third lady's friend.

"You mean Xiao Nuo!"

"That's her. I know you have a lot of problems, Miss San, but I really don't know anything else. We are here to take you out!" The team leader suddenly burst into tears, wiping away tears, "You must believe me!"

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that this team leader could really turn the situation around?

They nodded tactfully, indicating that what the leader said was correct.

"How did you know I was here?" An Xiao continued to interrogate, with the gun still pointed at his forehead.

"We searched everywhere else," the team leader replied. "We were originally planning to go north, but we found the elevator shaft of the institute on the way."

An Xiao dispelled some of his doubts. The north was the direction of the orphanage, which meant that they had not seen Xiao Nuo and Nanasha yet.

"Then why did you knock me out?" An Xiao pointed at the unconscious person on the ground.

"Because I think it's hard to explain in a short time, it's better to just knock you out and evacuate." The leader looked into the distance anxiously, "I'm not sure if those people have arrived. It will be more dangerous if we stay any longer."

An Xiao believed what he said, put down the gun, and looked at him coldly.

She asked one last question, "How many miniature bombs do you have left?"

"What miniature bomb?" the team leader was confused.

An Xiao was stunned. These people did not carry miniature bombs to blow up the other group of people outside the research institute!

Just when the team leader breathed a sigh of relief, a strange roar came from somewhere and everyone looked in that direction.

That's... a freak!

……

In a corner of the institute, two old men were watching the three children through a small window on the iron door. The shorter Katie had an unhappy look on her face, while the taller old man next to her had a blank expression and long blond hair that was almost graying.

She looked to be in her fifties, but like Katie she was in her twilight years.

"Why did you come so early? Five days earlier than agreed!" Katie was very unhappy.

"They arrived early." Yaerde frowned. "Before the elder who was monitoring you reported, the lady had already decided to eliminate the child tonight."

Katie was stunned. She had expected this situation, but she didn't expect it to come so soon, without even time to prepare.

It's clearly only been half a day.

She sighed softly.

"It's cruel, isn't it?" Yald said, "I know that the first thing I will do next time is to take you away. Madam wants not only the child to die here, but you as well. All the secrets here must be buried."

"Really including me?"

Katie was silent for a while, then started to curse: "What a bastard! I have been loyal and dedicated to this crappy place for more than 50 years! In the end, I am still being abandoned!"

"Hey, you've only been here for less than two years and you're already betraying your family and hiding these three children. That can't be considered loyal."

Katie glared at her: "How can you ruin things like this?"

"Now that they have discovered these children, Nuo is completely worthless. The family believes that she is a hidden danger." Yaerde's golden pupils reflected the dull faces of the children. "Born close to death, is this the most successful product?"

"They are all second-generation products. The Devouring Sorrow all comes from the broken heart of a Sorrow, but they can't be considered the most successful ones. They still have flaws." Katie sighed:

"Eighty years ago, the Black Goat Butler finally found this place and destroyed these things that brought disaster to the world at a heavy price, but he didn't expect that there were still three left. When I found them, they had already awakened. Without the super devouring weapons made by the Heart of Sorrow, they can't be killed at all."

"Being able to inhibit and control phagocytes, just as there are still flaws, can make you called a natural king." Even when he was sighing, Yarde remained expressionless.

"Even Wu Pingping was only a relatively successful experimental subject of the fifth generation. Even so, she was the most successful." Katie whispered, "So the family has been looking for her. You should have come earlier, not now."

"The family will get suspicious, so I can only use the opportunity when the family sends me to carry out the elimination plan. I will find a way to help you leave, but you must fake the scene, such as an explosion, to burn everything here."

"So what do you do?" Katie turned to her. "Like a fallen angel?"

"She was the most outstanding Black Goat Butler back then, and she also successfully covered up the plan from eighty years ago."

"That's why she was lured to Huacheng and defeated!" Katie growled, "You can't be like her!"

Yald turned around and looked directly into Katie's eyes. Her golden pupils seemed to be burning. Many years ago, when they were still young, the young fallen angel came to the institute with such eyes. She rescued Katie and Yald, but was also included in the An family's death list.

"I'll find a way. You take these three children away." Katie turned around. "And I should deal with the elder."

"Is this okay, sister?" Yald said softly.

"We are both the lowest quality defective products of the second generation." Katie said softly, "But I am even lower than you. At that time, Dr. Ned wanted to 'scrap' me, but you convinced him. You are so brave. I have always wanted to be like you."

silence.

"Take care, stay home, my dear sister."

"Take care, Black Swan."

"I don't like this name." Yald looked away, "Even my daughter always calls me that."

"Is your daughter okay?"

"She's dead." These words were cold and heartless.

"You like Nuo very much, right? She and your granddaughter are from the same generation of experimental subjects. Maybe she also has your daughter's genes." Katie said at last after being engulfed by the darkness, "Among the young Black Goat Deacons, I am most optimistic about Wang Feng. Please help him more in the future."

"But you haven't said my real name again." Black Swan stared at him for a long time.

Chapter 263 Burning Eyes (II) I

The freak was stupid. When it found a lot of prey, it was overjoyed and jumped out from the corner. An Xiao swiftly cut off its head, leaving only its corpse curled up on the ground, flowing with pungent and foul-smelling black blood.

She grabbed the leader's collar and pulled him in front of her, staring into his eyes, "Did you bring this freak in?"

"I don't expect your trust, and I won't take this blame." The leader glanced at the corpse, "It's obvious, isn't it? This is a deadly weapon released by someone to keep us all here."

An Xiaosong opened his hand and looked in the direction where the monster was coming from. He was not sure whether it had been lurking for a long time or came from that direction, because the direction it was coming from was exactly the direction Katie left, and the exit over there led to the statue in the square.

"Let's go to the elevator shaft. We have prepared a lot of weapons there." The leader said, "It's just to deal with the monster tide."

If there is more than one freak, the closed research institute will soon become a nest, and the safest place can only be the elevator shaft.

An Xiao hesitated for a moment, followed the group of mercenaries to the elevator shaft, looked back at the headless corpse that was getting farther and farther away, and the first thing that came to his mind was that his family had raised such a dangerous creature. If the family wanted to leave no trace, using a freak was indeed a good idea.

But Katie said that the three children could control the freaks, so why couldn't the institute always keep freaks? The old woman also had a big problem, and some of her words were full of loopholes.

For a moment, An Xiao couldn't tell who his real enemy was.

Soon she arrived at the elevator shaft. Just as the team leader had said, there were many heavy firepower weapons and dozens of Type A mass-produced devouring weapons placed on the lifting platform. It was like a small arsenal. The team leader picked up a submachine gun and tested the weight, his face full of pride.

"Don't worry about those freaks. They have nothing to do with us." The team leader pulled the switch of the lifting platform, and it slowly moved up with a vibration.

"These freaks are supposed to stop you. The family wants to eliminate your friends, and your friends are not here."

An Xiao nodded. He understood without further explanation. It wouldn't be long before the other party discovered that Xiao Nuo was not in the research institute. By then, they should have searched the entire City 05, leaving only the orphanage in the north.

We must get there as soon as possible.

"You have two choices, and I respect your choice." The leader said while leaning against the edge of the lift platform, "Either we take you away directly, or you go and save your friend yourself. Let me make it clear first, we are not responsible for your friend's life or death."

"How did you get here?" An Xiao asked.

"A convoy. This area is a no-fly zone. Helicopters can't fly over here. They will be intercepted midway."

"Leave a car for me." An Xiao made the choice coldly, "You can just go and don't worry about me."

"How can that be?" The team leader was very happy, but he had to put on a complete show. He claimed to be An Ran's friend and came to save An Xiao, so he couldn't reveal any flaws.

"I know your coming here has nothing to do with my brother, and you are not here to save me." An Xiao said coldly.

The leader froze, and the other mercenaries looked at each other.

"You misunderstood..." The team leader was embarrassed.

"I know you were sent by the family." An Xiao said, "But you are also human beings, and you are very sensible. If you choose to leave, I will pretend that nothing happened. After all, you are just workers carrying out a mission. As long as the mission has not been completed, it doesn't matter."

The team leader turned his head away in embarrassment, not expecting his lie to be exposed right from the start, but the third young lady was too lazy to reveal it.

He thought, "Miss Third, you're just saying this now, making me look like a clown. Everyone else has been cooperating with me for so long..."

"What's your name?" An Xiao looked at him.

"Yakov, I am a man as big as a brown bear." The leader patted his chest.

An Xiao nodded: "Okay, Yakov, I need you to do something for me. Don't be so quick to refuse. I hope you won't leave after you go out. Stay outside for half an hour and wait for me to bring my friend out, and then you can send her away."

"Half an hour is too long, twenty minutes at most."

"Okay, then, just twenty minutes. If I don't show up in twenty minutes, you can leave anytime."

"Okay." The team leader lit a cigarette and took two puffs. This was not a request that he would refuse.

It's just that there is a potential danger of them discovering that they have colluded with the third young lady to betray the family, so we said that the time should be shortened to twenty minutes.

Just as the lifting platform was moving slowly, a white-red hand grabbed Yakov's shoulder!

The attacker appeared without warning. It was a monster the size of a leopard. Its ferocious face looked like it was about to cry at any moment. It climbed onto the man's shoulders with its arms and put all its weight on them, trying to pull him off the platform!

Yakov was unable to struggle for a moment. He roared and tried to shake it off. The two sides were in a stalemate. The other mercenaries could not shoot. The monster had been lurking in the elevator shaft. It hid behind the steel beam and grabbed the leader to act as a human shield.

They had no way to aim, and if they wanted to hit the freak they would inevitably hurt the leader by mistake. Seeing that Yakov was about to fall, An Xiao jumped onto the edge guardrail of the lift platform and put the pistol to the freak's head at the risk of cutting his artery.

The monster looked up at An Xiao, and laughed with its mouth split open, like a person laughing miserably, and its laugh was so weird. Its tongue was like a flower bud blooming with countless branches, trying to spit out the black blood that could rot the flesh.

The bullet hit its head, and the impact knocked it back, with its long tail rubbing against the steel beam, making a harsh scraping sound.

An Xiao took this opportunity to cut off the monster's hand that was still holding Yakov's shoulder, and it fell down directly.

Yakov, still in shock, stumbled and fell in the middle of the lift platform. Filled with rage, he picked up his submachine gun and went to the edge again. Just as he aimed downwards and tried to shoot the freak, he was stunned.

The monsters did not fall to the bottom, but stabilized on the steel beams. Countless red pupils lit up in the darkness at the bottom. These monsters with outlines like cats and dogs were much more agile than the half-snake monsters. They quickly crawled all over the surrounding steel frames, coming in a mad tide.

"Oh my God!" Yakov shuddered.

"Open fire!" The deputy team leader gave the order decisively. There was nothing to be shocked about at this time. Everyone fired downwards. Bullets fell like crazy. The barrage of bullets flooded the area below and repelled the closest freaks.

Bullets cannot kill them completely, but they can repel them. The lifting platform leading to the ground of the research institute is too slow. In the past, it was used to transport large objects in pursuit of absolute safety and stability, but it has become the most fatal problem at the moment.

The group of monsters were sticking to each other at a close distance and getting closer and closer. A few lucky ones excitedly jumped onto the lifting platform, but what was waiting for them was the girl's long knife.

An Xiao was responsible for killing the monsters that jumped onto the lifting platform. Only she could do it. Mercenaries were better at creating firepower output. Bullets poured down like a bombardment. Some people even picked up ray guns, but the monsters kept coming in an endless stream. Killing them became meaningless. Instead, they had to use extreme firepower to suppress the monsters at the top.

The lifting platform finally reached the top. Without any hesitation, everyone ran out carrying a small amount of weapons and ammunition, but they had not completely left the institute. Behind them was a long transport runway with several dilapidated forklifts and transport vehicles parked on it. It was dark at the end of the runway and it was not yet dawn.

"Detonate!" Yakov shouted, his voice barely drowning out the screams.

There were a large number of explosives among the weapons discarded on the elevator platform. They did not have miniature bombs, but instead carried more powerful C4 explosives. The detonation of these explosives was enough to collapse the elevator shaft and temporarily trap the group of freaks.

It was an explosion loud enough to resound through the sky, but An Xiao did not appreciate the scene behind her. She ran along the transport track, trying to get to the orphanage as quickly as possible.

But she stopped when she reached the exit.

At the end of the transport runway, you can directly see the mountain in the distance to the north. The orphanage on the mountain was engulfed in a raging fire, dyeing the sky red.
