Chapter 807 - 650: Pretending to Be Lovers?
Jin suddenly opened his eyes, thinking he might be hallucinating before death, but that figure dashed forward without hesitation, holding him tightly in her embrace.
The familiar softness and the faint scent from her made his heart tremble violently.
It really is her?!
This foolish female... How did she end up here? Didn’t he tell her to stay home and wait for him to return?
Jin wanted to speak, but his body had reached its limit, and the world went dark as he fainted completely in her arms.
"Ah Jin!" Shen Tang looked at him, covered in blood, and was scared almost to the point of soul departure.
She hurriedly checked his breath; fortunately, he was still alive!
She immediately wanted to use her Healing Ability to tend to his wounds.
"Roar!"
The monster, upon seeing the suddenly intruding Beastman, erupted into fury, lashing out with a barbed tentacle like a long whip.
An ice wall suddenly rose up, blocking the attack.
Yue Lin arrived immediately afterward, standing in front of the two. But the sturdy ice wall only lasted a few seconds before it shattered loudly.
Yue Lin was thrown back two steps by the shockwaves of energy, his face pale, as he looked in horror at the enormous creature before him.
This monster was formed by the fusion of dozens of Overlord Level Mutant Species... its power even exceeded his understanding of Mutant Species, unfathomable!
He had previously tried to defend the Hand of Creation and the laboratory, but now it seemed the laboratory’s clandestine activities were far dirtier than he had imagined.
They collected Mutant Species to create such a monster.
There might even be a possibility that this monster was entirely their creation!
"We can’t defeat it, let’s retreat!" Yue Lin shouted urgently.
The monster seemed to understand, its attack suddenly becoming fiercer.
Yue Lin conjured several more ice walls, but they couldn’t hold back, only delaying a bit of time.
He turned around, pulled the unconscious Jin from Shen Tang’s arms, slung him over his shoulder, and rushed with Shen Tang toward the entrance.
As the monster roared and chased them, Yue Lin pressed something unknown, and a thick, specially made metal wall fell immediately at the entrance.
As the wall closed, a huge crash sounded from behind; the monster had hit it heavily. Following were incessant, fierce collisions, causing hearts to pound violently.
Shen Tang looked back from time to time, "Will it break through?"
"It shouldn’t," Yue Lin said, panting. "Since the laboratory has created such an unstable monster, they definitely haven’t completely controlled it. This wall is meant to contain it."
The lab’s final layer itself is a concealed giant cage, with six sides made of special metal, designed specifically to trap this monster.
However, although the monster couldn’t escape, the impacts caused surrounding ordinary building structures to start collapsing, with large debris and dust falling from overhead!
Being hundreds of meters underground, if it caves in entirely, they won’t have anywhere to escape and will be buried alive!
Moreover, each layer has an Energy Barrier, making teleportation impossible here, leaving only the option to run desperately!
The two raced through the collapsing ruins, managing to escape the 103rd sublevel before the floors entirely crumbled, fleeing upward with Jin.
...
Outside the laboratory at this moment.
The Family Head of the Hunting Leopard Clan, Shou He, arrived with reinforcements.
Looking at the chaotic scene of the laboratory, his face was extremely grim, immediately leading people inside.
The lab must not be destroyed; this is the fruit of his and the Hand of Creation’s years of labor, hiding something inside!
"Seal off the laboratory! Lock down the Royal City! Full alert! Capture the intruders!"
A large number of pursuers surged in, encircling the laboratory and Royal City layer upon layer.
When Shen Tang and Yue Lin reached the first floor, they saw densely packed pursuers and quickly hid.
"The exit’s blocked, what do we do?" Shen Tang asked anxiously.
"I have access credentials; I can open the main gate." Yue Lin said, lowering Jin from his back, his voice reduced, "But he’s too conspicuous. Taking him along will make us easily discovered. If we encounter Shou He, even I won’t be able to justify."
Yue Lin didn’t want to get into trouble; he actually considered handing the leopard over to Shou He, but he knew, Xun Fu had gone to such lengths to save him that it was impossible to hand him over again.
But taking Jin along is indeed a burden, possibly causing both of them to fail in escaping.
Yue Lin himself didn’t possess Space Ability, although his bracelet had storage space, it couldn’t hold a living person.
As he was thinking about how to convince her, he saw the man on the ground suddenly vanish.
He looked at Shen Tang in shock, "You... have Space Ability?"
"Yes, although the ability is weak, storing someone is doable." Shen Tang’s Space Ability had recovered a bit, but compared to her spiritual power and healing ability, it was still very weak, temporarily only usable for storage.
Yue Lin looked at her with more complex eyes, even flashing a hint of determination.
He suddenly spoke, "We might be intercepted en route, my identity is easily explained, but you shouldn’t be here, it’s too suspicious."
"They might forcibly detain you for investigation; we need to find a reason for them not daring to act against you."
Shen Tang saw his expression and knew he already had a plan, "What do you plan to do?"
"You can... pretend to be my lover," he whispered. "With this identity, no one would dare stop you."
Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat; could she act this way?
But Yue Lin’s reasoning had some sense; escaping safely was the most important in this urgent situation!
It’s just a title; Shen Tang didn’t have time to think too much, nodded in agreement, "Okay, let’s do it."
She looked at Yue Lin, sincerely saying, "Thank you, Young Master Yue Lin. Without you, I might not have been able to rescue Ah Jin so smoothly... Once we’re out, I will make sure to thank you properly."
Yue Lin knew that Xun Fu was still too unfamiliar with him, and even because of the previous confession, her attitude towards him had become colder.
Hearing this address, a hint of sorrow flashed in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face, "When we encounter people later, don’t call me this."
Shen Tang’s face slightly heated, not being too comfortable addressing him intimately, she simply nodded.
The laboratory exit was heavily guarded; luckily, Shou He wasn’t here, presumably having gone deeper into the laboratory.
Guarding the door was a general from the clan.
Seeing the duo emerge, soldiers showed confusion.
Why is the Young Master of the Moon Wolf Clan here? Who is the female beside him?
The general stepped forward to stop the two, "Sorry, Young Master Yue Lin, the Family Head ordered the lab sealed, no one is allowed in or out."
Yue Lin looked anxious, "I just received a message; my father urgently summoned me back. If this delays something important, who will take responsibility?"
"This..." The general and other Beastmen looked at each other.
Should the Moon Wolf Clan pursue it, they indeed couldn’t bear the responsibility, lacking the courage to detain the Young Master of the Moon Wolf Clan.
Moreover, the Hunting Leopard Clan and Moon Wolf Clan’s relationship had always been delicate, each minding their own business. They’ve already learned that the intruder to the lab was Jin, who had become a Mad Beast, unrelated to Yue Lin.
The Young Master’s visit might just be support, and with him leaving in haste, probably something urgent.
For a time, no one dared stop them.
The leading general, prone to avoiding trouble, weighed the pros and cons and waved them through.
After Yue Lin and Shen Tang left the laboratory, they used the same reason to smoothly exit the Royal City.
