Chapter 605: 329 You’re not too dumb.

Bai Ye had been paying close attention to Bai Yi’s movements, and, sure enough, it wasn’t long before there was some commotion from Bai Yi’s side. Whether out of sheer anger or overconfidence, Bai Yi had directly taken people to that Secret Research Institute. It was a standalone villa, with four floors above ground and a basement below.

From the memories of Poison Wolf, Bai Ye knew that Bai Yi had put a lot of thought into establishing this Secret Research Institute. The various instruments and equipment inside were obtained by Poison Wolf only after receiving orders from Bai Yi. To power the institute’s daily electricity needs, a diesel generator had been installed in the basement. The machine was quite large and had also been acquired by the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Besides this Secret Research Institute, the Bai Family also had a public one, where the research was much more normal. After all, with so many people in the White Wolf Mercenary Corps who were not the Bai Family’s family servants, the Bai Family had to consider the thoughts of others. Moreover, the Bai Family needed to maintain a good reputation.

So, all the research that couldn’t be made public was carried out by this Secret Research Institute. Dr. Sun was just perfect for the job, being a research fanatic and particularly fixated on using people as experimental subjects!

However, it was only recently that Dr. Sun had informed Bai Yi that he had made a new breakthrough with one of his projects and that it was about to succeed! The project he spoke of involved a special reagent created by mixing a substance extracted from zombies with some from Mutant Plants.

Once injected into the heart of a superpower user, this serum could effectively enhance the user’s superpower level, promoting their advancement. If this research succeeded, the Bai Family would acquire a large number of high-level superpower users!

This research was of considerable significance to the Bai Family, and Bai Yi could not overstate its importance. But soon after Dr. Sun delivered the news, Bai Yi had only gone to a wine reception, and upon returning, he heard his subordinates reporting that the Secret Research Institute had been destroyed!

Bai Yi nearly thought he had misheard the news when he first got it! After he snapped out of his daze, what followed was intense anger, and at the same time, he rapidly speculated—who could have done it?

Just as Bai Ye had predicted, Bai Yi almost instinctively suspected Zhao Qiankun. After all, the timing was just too coincidental! The Bai Family’s White Wolf Mercenary Corps and Zhao Qiankun’s Qiankun Mercenary Group had always been engaging in a quiet power struggle, and given Zhao Qiankun’s massive ambition, the Bai Family had to guard against him with extra caution!

It could be said that Zhao Qiankun would suffer the most from the success of Dr. Sun’s research. His current strength was already formidable; with the consecutive introductions of the Energy Detector, blood test paper, and Communicator, not only had Zhao Qiankun amassed a large number of Crystal Cores, but his prestige at Beishi Base was also soaring.

Although Beishi Base was controlled by six major forces, Qu Family’s Star Mercenary Corps Group and Qin Family’s Flame Mercenary Corps Group were slightly weaker and had even joined forces to resist being annexed by the White Wolf Mercenary Corps and the Qiankun Mercenary Group, supporting each other in defense. The remaining two Mercenary Corps did the same.

Given the strength displayed by Zhao Qiankun, if the Bai Family made no progress, it wouldn’t be long before they were replaced by Zhao Qiankun! Conversely, if this research succeeded, the Bai Family could possess a large number of advanced superpower users in a very short time. At that point, Zhao Qiankun’s Qiankun Mercenary Group would pose no threat to the Bai Family!

Therefore, after much consideration, Bai Yi felt that Zhao Qiankun was the prime suspect! This suspicion led him to more doubts. Because the research in the Secret Research Institute was so important, he had specially assigned two Third-level Superpower Users and over a hundred Second-level Superpower Users to protect it, both to prevent prying eyes and to safeguard against malice.

With such strength, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to leave alive once they entered! Yet, so many people were wiped out silently in just over half an hour, with not even a single body left behind! How could an ordinary person possess such terrifying capabilities? The more he thought about it, the more his teeth itched with hatred. Those were two Third-level Superpower Users and a hundred Second-level Superpower Users, all his trusted elite! And now, they had been completely eradicated!

He did not even dare alert Bai Zhengyi to this matter, as Bai Zhengyi had always viewed such sinister and crooked Secret Research Institutes unfavorably. Now, with the loss of two Third-level Superpower Users and a hundred Second-level Superpower Users due to this institute, if Bai Zhengyi found out, Bai Yi’s life would not be easy!
