Li Hang said that just half an hour ago, he had submerged Xiao Qiang in the pond, and he should have woken up by now. He instructed the members of the clan to clean up the battlefield and went to check on the situation at the pond with Lin Yu.
The water in the pond flowed down from the High Mountain Waterfall, gathering into a hidden pool formed naturally in the Li Family's secret chamber, becoming an unknown dark water source.
It was easy to slide down from above, but it was impossible to return the same way from below. To get out, one had to find the outlet of the dark current, and Xiao Qiang must have found it.
In the night, the pond appeared deep and dark, shimmering under the moonlight. The massive flow of water crashed into the pond beneath the waterfall, creating a deafening roar as water cascaded into the pool, raising mist that danced like delicate gauze.
Unfortunately, such beauty did not stir Lin Yu's interest in sightseeing at all. The two stood by the empty pond, searching carefully. Had Xiao Qiang not emerged? Or had he not escaped from the Cryogenic Chamber at all? To be safe, Li Hang and Lin Yu decided to dive into the pond separately to search. Just as they submerged, a group of stealthy armed individuals appeared at the edge of the pond.
They were all masked, making it impossible to see their faces in the darkness. Only a Tall and Thin Man could be seen discreetly waving his hand, signaling his subordinates to throw a Grenade into the pond.
The Grenade they used was of the same type that Lin Yu had used earlier, sinking with a trail of bubbles to the bottom of the pond.
The Tall and Thin Man wore a smug smile at the corner of his lips and said to his companions, "This time we will catch them all; everyone has worked hard."
Lin Yu and Li Hang had just submerged when a Silver Grenade sank beside them. With a thunderous explosion, they instantly lost consciousness as a powerful force threw them apart, leaving them unaware of anything that followed.
The Human Official Army was still engaged in Mass Extermination, searching every household. They forcibly dragged out those Transformed Species who were hiding indoors and sprayed them with Silver Nitrate Sprayers.
Humans infected by such S Creatures faced devastating slaughter. The scene was horrific, filled with Patrol Officers searching everywhere amidst cries of despair.
News channels broadcasted 24/7, offering heartfelt condolences and advising human compatriots who had lost loved ones during this large-scale search not to panic but to focus on the bigger picture, face everything calmly, and actively report the residences and surnames of infected individuals.
This Mass Extermination directly affected extraterrestrial species residing on Earth. Just as Lin Yu and Li Hang were caught in this forced secretive operation, Han Shaoyu invaded the Li Family.
The Li Family was also a relatively hidden Vampire Family; their sudden appearance of numerous Beast Werewolves was no coincidence. It was not Han Shaoyu's doing but rather something more complicated.
However, when Han Shaoyu thought he could successfully find the owner of the Rare Serum this time, he discovered he was too late. The Li Family residence had already been subjected to a thorough cleansing by human officials.
It seemed that Lin Yu was also caught up in this catastrophe. Han Shaoyu's cold gaze pierced through the endless darkness ahead like a blade. With an unsuccessful start coinciding with humanity's Mass Extermination, this operation declared failure while unexpectedly uncovering Cold Star trapped within a stone house.
Han Shaoyu observed closely; the Li Family was indeed not to be underestimated. Their ancestors also hailed from the Alien System, yet strangely, he could not sense the presence of the Li Family elder.
It seemed that the old fellow was in seclusion, hiding away. Perhaps he had foreseen that this catastrophe was inevitable and had entered a dormant state to conserve strength, increasing his energy before emerging when the family faced a bloodbath.
Han Shaoyu took Cold Star back to his lair. Unable to wait for his old friend to return, he also entered seclusion. All affairs were temporarily handled by Luca. Cold Star remained his daughter, and before entering seclusion, he used the instruments left by Professor R in his lair to erase her memories.
Humanity's Mass Extermination had been ongoing for several years. Regardless of how thorough the purges were, there were still fish that slipped through the net. These survivors posed the greatest hidden danger lurking among humans.
Han Shaoyu's old friend R, blurring the lines between pretense and reality, took a boy on a tour and returned once again. The Ant Nest lair was no longer what it used to be; Wolfman Slaves still existed, and Luca's attitude towards them was lukewarm.
In C City, which had undergone a massive cleansing, Matt and Wu Yi had been lingering there for quite some time. Li Hang, Lin Yu, along with a Xiao Qiang, had all gone missing.
In front of the wine cabinet stood a barmaid in a fiery red mini skirt, revealing a pair of snow-white legs as she flirted and occasionally threw coy glances at Wen Kai.
"Guess what cup size she is?" Wu Yi remarked with a playful glint in his eye as he lingered on her enticing cleavage.
Matt seemed not to have heard him; with an indifferent demeanor, he ignored the barmaid's flirtations and said, "I'll have a drink." As the barmaid went to fetch it, he leaned closer to Wu Yi's ear and whispered, "Do you want to bet on how many connection wires she has inside her?"
Wu Yi chuckled in disbelief and refused to take Matt's bet. His eyes and insight were unmatched; if she was indeed a machine barmaid, then she certainly was one.
"Could it be related to Professor R?" Wu Yi asked as he nervously trimmed his fingernails, fearing someone might notice their abnormality and report him. With a snip, it seemed his scissors were a bit dull; it took him quite some time to finish.
Matt frowned, took a sip of his drink, and muttered, "That's disgusting. You could schedule your nail trimming during your breaks."
Wu Yi held the scissors up to his nose and laughed out loud. "If you keep nagging me like that tonight, I'll use my nails to strangle you."
"How can you still joke around?" Matt shifted his gaze towards the street near the tavern. "It's strange; why are they carrying flamethrowers in broad daylight? Are they planning to kill someone?"
"Maybe they're hunting vampires?"
"I feel like it's not just those vampires," Matt said thoughtfully, staring at a tall man in a suit, curling his lip. "Look at that guy; he doesn't seem like anything good."
"What do you mean?"
"He's..." Matt hesitated, noticing that others in the tavern were watching them. He quickly lowered his voice. "Let's get out of here! With how you looked just now, they're paying attention to you."
Wu Yi followed Matt's gaze and indeed saw two people sitting side by side at the bar, both staring at them.
"That's not right; they're looking at you," Wu Yi said nervously. He didn't want to end up in some holding cell at this moment. He needed to find R and the others quickly to get information about Lin Yu.
However, it seemed things were beyond his control. The two people had already stood up, their eyes fixed on them as they walked over directly.
"Are they detectives?" Wu Yi's heart raced. He wasn't afraid of these suited humans; he just didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings before finding Lin Yu. Plus, he feared the flamethrower that was likely hidden beneath their jackets.
"Don't panic," Matt advised. He scanned the room aimlessly, maintaining a calm demeanor as he raised his glass to his lips.
"Please show us your identification."
