Chapter 80: Chapter 75: Before the Decay_2

"There’s nothing."

Shaking his head, Chen Feng did not explain.

As long as everything is improving, that’s a good thing.

He quickly pushed those distracting thoughts aside.

He donned a red vest and stood behind the cashier counter, silently waiting for nightfall.

There were few customers during this time, perhaps due to the influence of today’s riots; there weren’t many pedestrians on the streets either.

Seeing this, and thinking back on the Security Bureau sending people to control the chaotic scene today,

Chen Feng suddenly thought of the news revealed by Cao Tong today.

If the Security Bureau seemed somewhat strained in dealing with Utopia, could they really afford to spread their forces thin and cooperate with that True Inheritor Wu Shuang to confront the Snake Spirit Sect?

...

Nanjiang City, Suburbs.

A group of figures stood outside a fairly large abandoned factory surrounded by thickets.

Upon closer inspection, one could see Wu Shuang in plain white clothes standing at the forefront on the left, with several coaches from the Sub Martial Arts Hall behind her.

Apart from these, there was another group of people present.

The person leading them was a short-haired young man in a black combat uniform, obviously a member of the United Council or the Security Bureau.

Next to him, several individuals could be seen, some armed with guns, others with metal weapons—all of them showing signs of cybernetic augmentations or enhancements.

"Didn’t expect the United Council to actually let you take action."

Looking at them, Wu Shuang narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone cool, as if somewhat wary.

The black-clad young man just smiled slightly in response.

"We didn’t have a choice, Utopia had been occupying too much of the Security Bureau’s attention."

"To eradicate this Snake Spirit Sect, we had to use some trump cards."

Confidently spoken, Wu Shuang took a deep look at the other party and their group.

"It seems you’ve paid a hefty price this time; you must’ve injected a fair amount of Enhancing Potions, haven’t you?"

"Heh."

Without rebutting, the black-clad young man instead replied with a smile that was not quite a smile: "Wouldn’t you like to try some as well?"

"No need."

The conversation between them was brief and to the point; soon after, the young man’s metallic arm was slightly lifted, projecting a pale blue hologram.

In the blink of an eye, several bio-mechanical spiders descended from behind him and scurried towards the abandoned factory ahead.

Clear images started streaming back, with Wu Shuang and the rest silently waiting.

Until at last, familiar Snake-men appeared in their view, and slight vibrations emerged from within the abandoned factory.

It was as if strands of black mist were forming, converging into the phantom of a gigantic Snake Spirit.

Seeing this, the group exchanged glances and quickly made a decision.

"Take action."

"Alright!"

As soon as the command was given, everyone charged out!

...

That night.

Customers were sparse; Chen Feng checked his phone now and then.

The riots had caused quite a stir online, and although the Security Bureau had tried to block the news, some videos still got out.

"What’s going on with the Security Bureau anyway?"

"Could this riot be another disturbance caused by Utopia?"

"I heard another gold shop was robbed; it’s Jinlin Company, the largest gold jewelry group in Nanjiang, how could they be robbed?"

"Didn’t you see the video? Those who took action were Transformed People!"

Whispers of related discussions came forth, and some even began to talk about the existence of Transformed People.

This was the most cutting-edge technology on Earth Star, capable of using mechanical and metal modules to modify parts of the body.

Enhancing human individual’s strength, speed, defense, reaction, and so on, in various aspects.

Of course, there were also clear drawbacks.

The cost of modifications was incredibly high, easily reaching hundreds of millions, not something that ordinary people could afford.

Moreover, there were technological hurdles as well.

"Central City?"

Noticing a post, Chen Feng slightly raised his eyebrows.

[The technology of Transformed People originated from the Platinum Federation. Currently, only in Central City within Chi Country do we possess the complete body modification technologies and facilities.]

[Here in Nanjiang City locally, we only have Half-Modified People, limited to modifications of certain body parts.]

"No wonder Gao Tianheng is considered financially strong, but doesn’t have a fully modified person under his command."

After reading the post, Chen Feng thought about the day when he stormed into the Tianheng Company.

Only two men who barely counted as half-modified could exchange a few moves with him.

"However, this way, Utopia truly lives up to its reputation as a big organization with considerable strength."

"Sweeping across the entire Nanjiang City, there are probably only a few local forces that can contend with this."

Chen Feng was well aware of the power of a fully transformed person; that silver-gray transformed person was the best proof.

An inexplicable sense of urgency rose in his heart, and soon, midnight arrived.

Whoosh!

The rolling shutter door was pulled down and locked with a key.

Chen Feng said goodbye to Aunt Zhang, holding his bag of clothes, and walked towards home.

The journey was smooth, without any surprises.

Click, the door of the house opened.

Warm light shone in; Chen Yun was still sleeping on the sofa, leaning back.

She was simply covered with a coat, with a cell phone still lit up playing a movie.

"Mmm..."

Perhaps she heard some noise, her eyelashes quivered, and she woke up.

"Xiao Feng?"

"Mm."

Nodding lightly, Chen Feng changed his slippers and walked into the house.

"Are you hungry?"

"A bit."

"I just happened to have stewed some ribs, come have a taste."

Another bowl of warm food in front of him, Chen Feng silently chewed and swallowed.

Midway, Chen Yun sat opposite, resting her head on the back of the chair, watching him eat in silence, seemingly hesitant to speak.

Noticing something was up, Chen Feng said soothingly, "Go ahead, sis."

"What’s the matter."

"Hm?"

Surprised that he saw through her thoughts, Chen Yun smiled awkwardly.

Then, she lifted her hand and lightly stroked her long hair beside her ear, and finally organized her words to explain softly: "It’s like this, Xiao Feng."

"The research institute has decided to grant me the opportunity to go to Central City for further study."

"I was thinking..."

"Go ahead." Chen Feng interrupted, picking up the porcelain bowl and gulping down all the soup.

"Ah?"

Chen Yun was a bit stunned, and then she saw Chen Feng put down the porcelain bowl and wipe the corner of his mouth with a napkin.

"I heard Central City is quite unique; you go first and check out the scenery for me."

With a smile on his face, Chen Feng said calmly: "Tell me all about it when you return."

As the words fell, Chen Yun did not expect the communication to go so smoothly.

On one hand was her most beloved research, and on the other, her most cared-for family member.

Her heart had been full of entanglement and hesitation.

But now, at this moment.

Seeing Chen Feng’s calm demeanor, she suddenly felt assured, as if she had put down all her worries.

"Alright."

Smiling and nodding, Chen Yun was no longer conflicted.

Meanwhile, tens of kilometers away, in the suburbs of Nanjiang City.

Boom!

The air vibrated as mechanical spiders self-detonated with concentrated explosives they carried.

Continuous explosions sounded, the steel plates of the abandoned factory shattered, and the metal shed’s roof collapsed.

The ground shook, dust billowed, and shards of metal flew in all directions.

Many Black Robed Snake Men were heavily struck, their bodies showing numerous small blood holes.

As for the leaders who stood around the central blood pond in a specific pattern, their faces showed anger and shock as they vomited fresh blood.

"Damn United Council!"

"Yanwu Gym, you are courting death!"

The ritual was interrupted, and the giant Snake Spirit in the halfway became rapidly ethereal.

Amid the sounds of shock and anger, Wu Shuang and the others from the Gym appeared coldly, with the young man in black and others sealing the passage and firing with a sneer.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Special bullets flew out rapidly, and in a moment the two sides were engaged in battle.

Roar!

With a roar like a tiger’s, the enhanced transformers fought their way through.

One after another, the Black Robed Snake Men were instantly killed, and the faces of the four leaders turned ugly as they made a decisive decision, unleashing their trump card.

"Snake Spirit, descend!"
