Chapter 155: Chapter 141 The Hunt Begins

“How do we open this thing? A fingerprint lock, seriously? Can we force it open?”

Tao Yu carried a silver briefcase back to the armored vehicle and switched places with Park Ji-hyun, who had a broken hand.

“Don’t, forcing it open will destroy what’s inside. Dr. Ren from the research institute should be able to open it, he’s also at the base.”

Park Ji-hyun hastily stopped Tao Yu who was attempting to break into the case by force.

“Fine.”

This was pure Yuan Force, and Tao Yu did not want to waste it just like that.

…

“We’re going there anyway, might as well take care of everything in one go.”

Tao Yu’s words made Park Ji-hyun fall silent once more before she spoke,

“They don’t treat the infected as humans there, all those captured outside are merely research subjects. You are very strong, but you can’t confront them head-on.

“Even if you can withstand rifle bullets, can you withstand a cannon? What about helicopter rockets? Or a tank’s main gun?”

“Ho, you are quite concerned about me, aren’t you? That’s what you’re worried about, right?”

Hearing Park Ji-hyun’s conflicting words, Tao Yu raised an eyebrow, ran a finger under her chin, and made her slump in the seat, breathing heavily.

“Whatever it is, I’m telling you the truth.”

Park Ji-hyun’s voice trembled as she spoke, her breathing intense as her chest heaved against the tightened seat belt, giving Tao Yu an eerie feeling.

The Taming Skill was too powerful. There was no direct feedback when using it on Little Black before. It’s completely different on humans.

Last time, that young lady was too strong and wasn’t affected. This is the real effect when used on an ordinary person.

“What gave you the illusion that my forte is direct confrontation…”

Tao Yu chuckled, his eyes deep.

At these words, Park Ji-hyun’s expression froze. Even though you sneaked in through a window for a surprise attack, your monster transformation abilities seem more suited to direct combat, right?

She knew she had no right to speak, so she just sat silently on the side, then suddenly said,

“With this vaccine that we’ve retrieved, I can get you an audience with the base commander, but you have to listen to me.”

Tao Yu raised an eyebrow at her and, after thinking for a moment, nodded his head,

“Fine.”

With his immense physical recovery abilities, just circling the military camp with Shadow Evasion, without stacking the double “Stealth” extreme state, wouldn’t be a problem.

And given some recovery time, he could do another round right away, so taking risks wasn’t out of the question.

If he could control the commander first, perhaps the ‘communication’ task could be taken care of along the way…

Thinking about it, her act of rebellion by bringing him into the heart of danger posed a greater risk.

He could withstand bullets and shadow evade, but Park Ji-hyun couldn’t.

But this was her choice, her life if she died.

If she survived, he would put aside the previous offensive attack against him and use her as a tool…

…

“You will definitely suffer the vengeance of Da Han, and you, you traitor, we will certainly…”

Tao Yu twisted the neck of the babbling General Han with resignation, pinching the bridge of his nose as he did.

Park Ji-hyun wasn’t bluffing; using the vaccine case as leverage, she directly succeeded in taking him to meet the base commander.

Tao Yu was actually quite sincere, and he didn’t start a fight right away. After taking control of the situation with an emotional appeal and logical explanation, he outlined the general situation of the Abyss.

Mutual benefit in cooperation, mutual harm in division—the sides complemented each other well.

But what baffled him was that the high-ranking officers at the base didn’t even want to pretend to cooperate and were aggressively demanding the entire time.

Their proposition was to consider liaising with the company only if Tao Yu agreed to become the new test subject…

This dumbfounded Tao Yu. Were these people sick in the head? Did they think all special infected were the same after seeing Nam Sang-won and assumed he would sacrifice his life for the company’s grand plans?

Please, he was just earning mission money.

They wouldn’t believe him even when he spelled it out, and they kept pushing him to the limit, so there was no choice; Tao Yu had to make them believe he really didn’t mind killing people…

“Sorry, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

Park Ji-hyun also seemed somewhat embarrassed at this time, as if she had not only failed to help but had also caused a lot of trouble.

“No problem, wiping out the command layer is actually good, it makes things easier for later actions.”

Tao Yu looked at Park Ji-hyun with satisfaction.

It must be that she found their treatment of Nam Sang-won too cruel and was moved by it.

Afterward, Tao Yu briefly fell into contemplation before asking,

“What’s your military rank?”

“Captain.”

“So, how many people here have a higher rank than you?”

After hearing this, Park Ji-hyun paused and then looked around the scene before saying,

“All the field officers are here, all dead. Then there’s Doctor Ren, who still holds some measure of control, and there are a few other captains as well.”

“Oh, I understand. Once Doctor Ren and the other captains are dealt with, you’ll be able to take control, right?”

Tao Yu nodded.

“In theory, yes. But because of my gender and current injuries, it’s not certain I can, and besides, the military camp and other places still have dedicated lines of communication.”

“That means, in addition to cutting off the dedicated lines, all the troublemakers need to be killed,” Tao Yu surmised.

Tao Yu understood something else now.

“You could say that, but it would only be a temporary measure. After all, we can’t shoot down every messenger that flies in directly.”

A strange expression appeared on Park Ji-hyun’s face. Was this an attempt to directly promote a puppet to power after persuasion failed?

However, unfortunately, this could only be temporary.

The specifics still depend on individual people; everyone has their own thoughts. It isn’t as simple as controlling the leader to make everything go smoothly…

…

The room where Tao Yu was located was a conference room with excellent soundproofing. They hadn’t fired a gun, so for the moment there was no alarm raised outside.

The two guards were still standing at the entrance of the conference room, vigilantly watching the corridor ahead, their eyes sharp, constantly scanning back and forth.

It seemed that not even a fly could escape their notice.

The next moment, with a ‘creak,’ the door of the conference room slowly opened a crack.

This caused the two guards to turn their heads and glance over. What’s going on?

How come the door is open, but no one’s coming out?

But just as they were taken aback, accompanied by a stream of black mist, both their necks were almost simultaneously struck hard, emitting a chilling sound of bone cracking.

The traces of Tao Yu just appearing hadn’t fully materialized when in the next moment, they blurred once again.

The super-strong world enhancement of this world is awesome!

The deficits in endurance that had to be conserved before needn’t be considered, allowing for unrestrained use.

I really don’t know when I’ll truly acquire such skills.

“It’s unclear how many people here saw Park Ji-hyun enter, better to play it safe…”

The mottled shadows receded from view. Tao Yu seemed to roam about the command center like an evil spirit, wandering everywhere, no gunfire was heard, nor any screams.

There were only occasional muffled grunts and the sound of bodies hitting the ground, accompanied by faint sounds of bones breaking.

Without sound or trace, there was only Park Ji-hyun left in the entire command center.

Tao Yu immediately burst out of the building, wearing dark Monster Armor that made her seem like an Alien as she jumped into the shadows of various structures, climbing on various blind spots.

Using Stealth in tandem with her high recovery ability, she went unnoticed the entire way!

“Huh? This one’s a captain, send him along, send him along.”

Tao Yu made her way toward the laboratory. On the way, she saw a figure with the same rank as Park Ji-hyun leading a squad hurriedly toward a certain direction, unclear what for.

But by now, the time was about right.

This time, Tao Yu no longer used Shadow Evasion, but simply relied on Alien-like stealth techniques to climb beneath the eaves, following the squad.

When they were right below him, he suddenly fell from above, landing in the middle of the squad.

“Who goes there?”

“Monster!”

Tao Yu had just landed and caused an outcry, but as they had just started to shout, Tao Yu moved into action.

This time, instead of opting for a one-hit kill, he kept knocking each person away.

Despite the sounds of bones breaking and many people vomiting blood, the sight of being thrown about was extremely visually striking.

However, upon landing, apart from the captain, not too many people died, rather it caused a wave of wailing.

A sergeant quickly picked up the radio and started making a distress call,

“A monster has appeared in Zone B! It’s strong, we need backup!”
