Supreme Gene Master - Chapter 18
Outside the research institute, Wu Tian’s team advanced at full speed and soon reached the entrance of the cave.
Last time, Su Jie had ordered people to stay here and clean up the debris caused by the earthquake. Now, this place was already flat.
However, when Wu Tian arrived, he noticed three broken corpses lying at the entrance!
The corpses were all wearing the standard combat uniforms of the Sun family. They were the soldiers who had stayed guard here previously!
Seeing this, Wu Tianxin became vigilant.
“Everyone, be careful. This place might really be dangerous. After entering the inner cave, observe the surroundings closely. Report to me if there are any movements.”
“Understood!”
With a low growl, the team followed the cave route and entered inside.
As soon as they entered the cave, everyone discovered the scattered genetic origin energy crystals!
These crystals were in the shape of small spheres. They were scattered on the walls like stars, illuminating the entire cave in a blue light.
This scene made everyone in the team slightly dazed.
After observing his surroundings, Wu Tian happily said, “This is the genetic origin energy that Bai Yu mentioned? Everyone, quickly gather it and bring it back. We are going to make a great contribution this time!”
When everyone heard this, they immediately started moving.
However, before they could do anything, a deep roar came from the depths of the cave!
Everyone was shocked. Many eyes suddenly appeared in the depths of the blue cave.
Immediately after, countless ferocious and twisted dimensional beasts roared as they stepped forward!
It was only at this moment that everyone noticed that the interior of this cave was connected in all directions and was connected to numerous passageways. Moreover, the dimensional beasts were constantly stepping out from the deep passageways, their numbers increasing rapidly!
Seeing the horde of beasts charging over, Wu Tian quickly shouted, “Retreat! Retreat!”
Seeing this, the team members turned around and fled.
There was more than one tunnel here. There were cave entrances all around.
Meanwhile, dimensional beasts were surging out from the holes!
They were very powerful, but there were only twenty of them.
In the face of such a large group of dimensional beasts, even if they could fight for a while, they would still be surrounded and killed.
Moreover, judging from the auras that erupted from the dimensional beasts, their realms were probably not lower than theirs. They were all at the Ultimate Vitality Realm!
The entire team fled at the sight of the approaching dimensional beasts yet the beasts were moving even faster.
In the blink of an eye, a few dimensional beasts arrived in front of everyone. The fatal thing was that there were also dimensional beasts attacking from the side and back, blocking everyone’s escape route!
“It’s over…”
Looking at the incoming dimensional beasts, Wu Tian felt despair in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, some of the team members had already started fighting with the dimensional beasts. Wu Tian knew that this was not the time to sit back and wait for death. He quickly unleashed his full strength to break out of the encirclement!
As long as he left this place, with the power of his Ultimate Speed Realm, he could easily escape.
Fortunately, the group of dimensional beasts surrounding them were mostly on the Ultimate Vitality Realm. Occasionally, a few Ultimate Speed Realm would appear, but fortunately, they weren’t by Wu Tian’s side.
The power of genes within his body was activated. Relying on his tyrannical strength, Wu Tian forced back a massive dimension beast with a punch and rushed out of the cave!
Before leaving, Wu Tian casually grabbed a crystal on the wall.
As for the situation inside the cave, he had no time to care.
Inside the Research Institute of Longevity, Han Ning was arranging the relevant experimental equipment according to Bai Yu’s instructions while Su Jie was chatting with Bai Yu.
After a few exchanges, the two of them became familiar with each other. Su Jie smiled and said, “Old Bai, when do you think Wu Tian will return?”
Bai Yu took a sip of water with a calm expression.
“Hard to say. If they’re unlucky, the entire team will be buried there.”
Bang!
As the two of them were talking, the simple door of the research institute was slammed open.
Su Jie stood up and was about to give a warning when he saw Wu Tian, covered in blood, rushing in from the entrance.
Su Jie sized him up and sneered, “Captain Wu, what happened?”
Wu Tian had an ugly expression on his face. “Enough nonsense. Hurry up and spread the news out. There isn’t just a single space within the cavern, but a massive underground cavern system. There are countless dimensional beasts hidden within!”
“My men were surrounded as soon as they entered, and now… they are probably wiped out!”
After saying that, Wu Tian casually threw the genetic origin energy onto the table.
“This should be the genetic origin energy you mentioned, right?”
Bai Yu kept it quietly while Su Jie pursed his lips.
This fellow was obviously afraid that he wouldn’t be able to explain himself if all his subordinates died, so he specially brought this back to divert the attention.
But right now, he was in no mood to mock Wu Tian.
The death of the family’s elite team was a heavy loss. Furthermore, the news that Wu Tian brought back had surprised him.
During this period of time, he’d only heard Bai Yu say that there might be a large amount of dimensional beasts residing within it, yet never had he imagined that it would actually be so dangerous!
Without further delay, Su Jie hurriedly sent the news back to the Sun family.
Inside the Sun family, a group of elders received the news and were shocked.
“What? That’s a huge underground cavern?”
“The entire squad of the family was annihilated? That’s impossible! Those people are all elites. How can they all die just like that?!”
“Haha, I think that Wu Tian is obstinate and conceited. That fellow was arrogant in the past, so he must have acted on his own and caused the team to be wiped out!”
In the same manor as before, a group of elders were discussing fervently.
The news of the team’s destruction shocked them. Most importantly, the Sun family no longer had any extra forces to send out.
Although the Sun Financial Group had quite a number of talents, they still needed manpower to maintain their operations elsewhere.
Looking at the arguing elders around him, Sun Jingcheng pressed down on the table, indicating for everyone to be quiet.
“Guys, this is not the time to talk about this.”
“Although the operation team has been wiped out, they have also discovered that there is indeed a lot of genetic origin energy stored in the cave. The problem now is how to deal with the dimensional beasts and retrieve the genetic origin energy.”
The elders looked at each other.
Every part of the Sun family was very tight on manpower. Indeed, they did not have enough manpower to dispatch troops.
However, they were unwilling to give up the energy source in the caverns.
Seeing that everyone was helpless, Sun Jingchi pondered for a moment before saying, “In my opinion, if we want to obtain the genetic origin energy, we need to find a partner!”
“Aren’t the Qin family’s forces near Mount Eternal? Why don’t we use their forces to explore? What do you think?”
Sun Jingcheng looked at his younger brother. “The Qin family? Our two families have a good relationship, but if we cooperate with them, we have to give up enough benefits to entice them. This…”
Sun Jingchi said respectfully, “Big Brother, with our current strength, we don’t have the ability to extract the genetic origin energy on our own. Rather than leaving it there and not being able to make use of it, we might as well give up some benefits and obtain sufficient benefits first!”
