Chapter 509: The Blokes That Lost Their Voices

Right then, a shadow figure darted about in the darkness with such speed that it threatened to cut apart the intangible darkness momentarily.

Following that, the shadowy figure did not slow down but continued dashing onward into the distance.

‘It should be around here!’

Ye Lingchen paused in his steps, drastically slowing down, and started moving forward carefully.

The area was deserted, without even a single tree in sight, let alone humans. It was difficult to imagine that such a deserted suburb existed outside the extremely developed city area. It was as though this corner was forgotten by the people.

Meanwhile, somewhere further upfront was an abandoned factory. The factory even had an employee dormitory building connected to it. Although the factory seemed decrepit, there was the occasional flash of light that could be seen.

In the darkness, Ye Lingchen’s eyes seemed to give off a glow. He could faintly hear some chattering sounds coming from within the factory.

These people were cautious. They refrained from turning on the lights even in the middle of the night and worked in the dark.

Without much hesitation, Ye Lingchen quickly zoomed into the building. His body melded with the darkness without making anything seem out of place.

‘Is it that hard to infiltrate stealthily?’

As a prodigy, Ye Lingchen did not find it difficult at all.

He headed straight towards the dormitory building after he got a quick glance at the internal structure of the factory.

According to the information he pried from the two captives, the factory was only used as a warehouse to keep vagrants, animal corpses, blood, infants, and other materials needed for their research. Meanwhile, the actual research was carried out in that building.

The first thing Dong Miaomiao came across was the warehouse. At that moment, there were quite a number of people still moving the items around. Ye Lingchen could even hear the crying of the infants.

Who could have imagined that a multinational company like Amaterasu genetics that focused its research in biology would run such a despicable place? It was just as expected for a company from the Sun Nation to commit such crimes against humanity.

Ye Lingchen was just about to enter the building, yet he turned back one more.

The cries from the infants were too much. If he met any accidents after going in, what would happen to these infants?

From his cursory glance earlier, he saw people collecting blood from the infants. How could these people be devoid of morality? Cruel and merciless. They were even worse than beasts.

If they were to detect his presence in the building, these people might just kill all the infants.

‘I should take care of the warehouse problem first.’

In the entire warehouse, there were about 15 people. None of them were ordinary people!

Although he was unsure if they were all mutants like Number Four and Number Six, they were all martial artists that knew some form of Kungfu. Each of their actions were different from those of an ordinary person.

Even so, there were only three that could be considered experts. The other twelve were only grunts that knew a trick or two, there to provide physical labor.

Ye Lingchen’s gaze fell on the three people stationed as lookouts. They were the strongest amongst them, in charge of surveillance and supervising the work.

His gaze turned serious, then approached them at an alarming speed.

Ye Lingchen was like a venomous snake hidden in the shadows, looking for a chance to strike.

These three had obviously gone through specialized training. Their positioning was impeccable.

They did not stand together but instead spread out over three points in the form of a triangle. They were in each other’s field of visions and could assist each other immediately, preventing them from being taken out in one go. Being able to keep tabs of each other’s condition in an instant, it allowed them to react immediately if anything happened.

For an ordinary person, under such circumstances, they would need to have three people to act simultaneously to take them out at the same time or they would surely be discovered!

However, that was for an ordinary person.

Ye Lingchen was hidden near one of them. He studied the person near him, then took another look at the other two.

The next moment, he picked up a rock and threw it at the building nearby!

Thud!

As expected, the sound immediately attracted the attention of the trio. Right at that instant, Ye Lingchen sprung into action. His hands wrapped around the head of the martial artist next to him and gave it a hard twist!

That martial artist’s body immediately went limp and was thrown to the floor as Ye Lingchen took up his position.

All that happened in the span of only one second!

The other two martial artists did not notice anything out of the ordinary. They took a glance at Ye Lingchen as though nothing happened.

By then, Ye Lingchen had fully replaced the dead martial artist. He stood there quietly in the darkness. Using the cover of the night, he intentionally avoided showing his face. However, his physique and aura perfectly mimicking the dead martial artist. He had even imitated some minutiae. The instantaneous replacement did not spark any suspicions from the other two.

Following that, he once again threw a rock at the same location.

It was abnormal for there to be sounds coming from the same location. That immediately attracted the attention of the other two. Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen volunteered to head towards that direction.

Smack, smack, smack!

Ye Lingchen lowered his body all of a sudden and gave a few slaps to the dead martial artist, creating the illusion that he was caught in a fight. Following that, he lifted the corpse and waved at the other two martial artists.

The two martial artists approached Ye Lingchen unsuspectingly.

They were not on high alert. Moreover, such incidents were probably common enough. There would always be some unlucky people that wandered here and be taken out immediately.

There were originally five people standing guard here, making it a perfect formation. However, Number Four and Number Six had gone on a chase.

“Bring this guy in as a test subject,” said one of the martial artists.

However, as they came nearer and saw Ye Lingchen’s face, they were shocked. Following that, they immediately opened their mouths and got ready to call out.

Ye Lingchen was ready for this, rushing at them like a leopard. In merely three steps, everything happened in an instant. He raised his hands and made a forceful jab at their chest!

All was silent.

The two martial artists had a look of surprise and anger in their eyes. Their mouths opened and closed. If he was not mistaken, that should be their warning shout or some verbal assault towards Ye Lingchen.

However, to their horror, no matter how much they shouted, no sound came forth.

The scene was very humorous. Their mouths were flapped away but it remained deathly silent. Their eyes popped wide open as though they had just seen a ghost.

After that, they pointed at Ye Lingchen with their mouths yapping away at an even faster speed. They used all the strength they could muster, causing their faces to turn red, yet no sound came from their mouths even then.

They looked at each other, at the mouths that were moving nonstop. All they felt was a hum in their brains. Their minds were unable to comprehend why such a situation would happen.

Bang, bang!

Just while the two blokes were confused over the loss of their voice and had no awareness of retaliating, Ye Lingchen casually knocked them out…
