Chapter 309 The Final Battle 2
Zhao Lexi's main task today is to enter the underground base of the Longevity Base through the secret passage here.
The saying goes, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows." When the underground part of the Changsheng Base was built, many escape routes were constructed for easy escape. One of these routes was connected to the base on the surface.
Zhu Jinxian knew the general location of the passage, but not its exact location.
Zhao Lexi led Gao Jue into the room where higher-level evolved humans were being held.
There were thirteen people in the room. When they saw Gao Jue, one of the women's expressions changed slightly, and her pupils contracted.
Gao Jue's gaze fell on that person, and he smiled slightly: "Houtu Niangniang".
Zhao Lexi pointed at her: "Bring her out."
The three of them entered an empty room alone.
The woman sneered, "Traitor."
Gao Jue shook his head and said, "You participated in a lot of the research at Shian Company, and you also led the research on the Longevity Base's medicine. You know I've been against using people for research from the very beginning. If we're on good terms, we'll stay together; if we're not, we'll break up. How can you use the word 'traitor'?"
Zhao Lexi cut to the chase and asked, "Do you know the passage to the underground base?"
The woman looked at her disdainfully: "So what if I know? I can't..."
Zhao Lexi, however, seemed completely unconcerned by her reply, not even glancing at her, and turned to ask Gao Jue, "What is her identity?"
"Zhai Houjun is the daughter of Zhai Shi'an, the founder of Shi'an Company. She inherited Zhai Shi'an's name from the Longevity Society and should be called Houtu Niangniang (Empress of the Earth).
Does she enjoy experimenting on people?
"She used to be very close to Zhu Jinxian, but they gradually drifted apart because of the experimentation on people. In the beginning, the Longevity Society was able to gather so many outstanding talents from all walks of life because they considered themselves excellent and discovered that developing together could maximize their interests. Some of them strongly agreed with Zhu Jinxian's views, believing that the world should eliminate some useless people so that human life could be better."
"However, later, disagreements arose among this group. Who were the useless people? How should the criteria for evaluation be defined? They did not reach a consensus. Later, in order to test the effects of the drug, Zhai Houjun began to secretly use people for experiments. When she could not find volunteers, she half-coerced and half-coaxed workers to sign work contracts, adding a veiled clause in the contracts that agreed to human experimentation. This disgusted Zhu Jinxian. After all, he came from Jingshan Temple. He agreed to eliminate the useless people and let them reincarnate early, but he did not agree to let them suffer before they died. So he gradually distanced himself from her. However, the founder, Yuanshi Tianzun, supported her, so that she could successfully inherit Zhai Shi'an's position in the Longevity Society."
"The founder of the Longevity Society who liked potions."
"Yes."
After exchanging glances with Gao Jue and receiving an affirmative answer, Zhao Lexi suddenly drew her sword and pierced Zhai Houjun's heart.
The sword strike was extremely fast; the soft sword was sheathed before blood began to flow from the wound.
Zhai Houjun's face was filled with disbelief: He was dead just like that? Without asking any more questions?
She is one of the Six Emperors of the Longevity Society, a powerful figure who can command influence within the base.
He was killed by a casual sword strike just like that?
Zhao Lexi had no time to care about what she was feeling before she died. This woman deserved to die. Moreover, Gao Jue had already obtained the location of the secret passage from her thoughts. In order to protect Gao Jue's secret, she had to die.
After leaving the building, Zhao Lexi left 21 people to control the Longevity Base, and led Gao Jue and the remaining 60 people to find the secret passage at the location where Zhai Houjun "confessed". Then, through the secret passage, they went straight to the underground part of the Longevity Base, as if they were divine soldiers descending from the sky, and stormed into the fourth underground level.
At this moment, the fourth floor is where nearly half of the main force of the Changsheng Base is concentrated, including Wu Gang, the man with the pigtail who escaped from Shian Company.
He used to be able to fight Zhao Lexi to a standstill, but now, in a single exchange, Zhao Lexi slit his throat, without even giving him the necessary medication. The look of terror on his face gradually hardened: he was clearly already a level seven evolved human! This time, if they could eliminate the main force of the capital base, rescue Dao De, and help him rise to power, they would gain unprecedented power and do whatever they wanted! Everything so wonderful was within their grasp, and now he was going to die?!
Then, he saw Gao Jue. He wanted to shout: "He's a monster!" but his carotid artery was severed, and he couldn't utter a single word. Filled with resentment, he collapsed to the ground and stopped breathing.
The instant Wu Gang fell to the ground, Zhao Lexi had already killed the second level-seven evolved human of the Longevity Society, then severed the tendons of Professor Feng, who had been hiding in the center of the crowd watching the commotion, and threw him at Gao Jue's feet.
Her figure was like a swirling leaf in the air, light and graceful, appearing and disappearing at will. Every time she appeared, she would reap the life of a level seven or level six evolved human. No expert from the Longevity Base could withstand a single move from her.
The other members of the Longevity Society were handed over to the fellow disciples of Jingshan Temple. The group worked together seamlessly, knowing that nine and a half out of ten of these people were not innocent, so they showed no mercy and acted swiftly and decisively, quickly wiping out the Longevity Society members on this floor.
They met up with Tang Yu's men.
At this moment, only five of the dozens of people left at the Capital Base to clean up the battlefield on the fourth floor remain, including Tang Yu, the deputy base commander and the person in charge of this operation.
Tang Yu witnessed Zhao Lexi committing murder firsthand and was shocked, but he forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Who are you...?"
“Zhao Lexi from Beicang Base, I’ve come to rescue my brother Zhao Shikang.”
Tang Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: they were on the same side; the girl in front of him was the younger sister of Zhao Shiyun, the future base commander of the Beicang Base.
At that moment, he understood. No wonder that young man was able to take charge of the Beicang Base despite his rank. If he had such a brave sister, he would also dare to dream of the position at the Capital Base.
Despite his envy, once he confirmed that the girl in front of him was one of his own, Tang Yu immediately said, "We were tricked by the Longevity Society! They ambushed their main force on the fourth floor, and after most of our people went down to the fifth floor, they cut off the connection between the two floors and launched an attack on us. Only five of us are left alive."
"Fortunately, they are focusing their attacks on us, so your brother and the others should be safe for the time being."
Gao Jue's brow remained furrowed: "Your only opponents are evolved humans?"
"Yes." Tang Yu was somewhat puzzled, a bad feeling rising in his heart. "What? Is something wrong?"
“Shian Company once developed some monsters with great strength. There is no reason for Changsheng to obtain these research results and then leave them unused.”
"what do you mean?"
"There are no monsters on this floor, they must be on the floor below."
The fifth floor has the most people, so using these monsters to wear them down is the best approach.
Zhao Lexi quickly asked, "Where is the entrance to the fifth floor?"
“The nearest entrance is there.”
A person pointed to a metal door on the wall not far away.
Zhao Lexi moved quickly, using her running speed to kick the metal door that they were all helpless against, and the girl kicked it so hard that it dented inward.
Everyone was stunned: What terrifying strength!
