Qiao Mu immediately caught up to the butterfly guides and headed deep into the white fog.
At the same time, an extremely top secret experiment was progressing inside an abandoned ancient residence in the outskirts of the Mo Kingdom capital.
A woman’s painful and hoarse screams kept coming from the small isolated room.
Meanwhile, there was a person standing inside the room with his back to the night sky. His slender fingers played with an old metal demon mask as an indolent smile indistinctly slipped past his lips.
“The high priest died a violent death.”
“Siming Manor has been exposed. Tsk, it truly is disappointing to have wasted so many years of painstaking effort.”
The two black-clothed subordinates standing behind him hung their heads submissively as they did not even dare to take a deep breath.
“The high priest was too eager for instant success! That’s why he got seen through. He was already under suspicion from the start when he used the news of the phoenix egg to lure people to the Mystic Beast Forest.”
“He is just as stupid as his master. That guy was in a hurry to pollute the water sources, yet they failed in the end because of insufficient preparation.”
Yet the two black-clothed subordinates continued to act as two wooden stakes, not voicing their opinions at all.
They were just small fry and dared not meddle in the masters’ affairs. It wasn’t good to agree, nor was it good to not agree. Then they might as well keep their mouths shut.
“Our bases on Sikong Planet have pretty much been destroyed. Things cannot continue on like this. We will continue experiments in other Lower Star Domains. Withdraw all remnant forces from Sikong Planet.”
!!
Withdraw all remnant forces from Sikong Planet? This meant that… they were going to give up the excellent experimental grounds on Sikong Planet?
But, but could Master make a decision on such a major issue on his own?
The two black-clothed subordinates looked up at their master in shock.
However, their master had already walked out the door after leaving them with these words.
Just as he stepped through the door, he suddenly said with a chuckle, “Bring along that woman inside. Withdraw by the end of the day, understand?”
“Yes!”
Decisively giving up these experimental grounds that had no more exploitative value was all for a better development in the future.
Instead of fighting to the death with the influential powers here on the latter’s home turf, they might as well develop the research bases in the other Lower Star Domains.
There were numerous Lower Star Domains where they could develop their research bases.
There was no need to fight to the death with those tough nuts that were hard to crack… It was not worth it! And also tiring!
“Ah, Ah!!” Hoarse screams came out from the small isolated research lab.
A “person” who had been clawed by zombies until there wasn’t a single piece of intact flesh left on her body had been tightly bound to the lab table, with several physicians operating on her.
“How is it.” A young man wearing a devil mask walked inside with a smirk on his lips.
“Hall Master Gong.” The group of physicians hurriedly turned around to greet the young man.
“We are almost done. The zombie pack clawed and bit this woman but she miraculously survived despite her heavy injuries. If there are no accidents, she will be the first one to evolve into an advanced-level zombie in our Heavenly Fate!”
“I’m giving you all at most half an hour. We will immediately be withdrawing through the special passageway.” Hall Master Gong paused before adding, “An unusual screening array is controlling the space above Mo Kingdom capital. After we leave this time, it will probably be impossible for us to bypass this screening array and return for several years.”
“So you must not leave anything behind. Bring everything that you need with you, especially those important experimental data,” Hall Master Gong reminded.
“Yes, Your Excellency. We subordinates will certainly take utmost care in following your orders.”
“Roar!” Suddenly, the female zombie on the table opened its eyes and roared angrily.
Her eyelids and the surrounding area had been gnawed away, so her eyeballs were bulging horrifically.
The roars from her mouth were unable to form a coherent sentence.
“This is an advanced-level zombie?”
“She has not completely evolved yet, and st-still needs a certain amount of time.” Under Hall Master Gong’s threatening gaze, several physicians explained themselves with cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.
“She has huge potential. She perhaps will be able to evolve into a superior-level zombie with a human form in the future.”
“Oh.” Hall Master Gong raised an eyebrow.
“Roar, ah.” The female zombie let out hoarse roars, and in the end, Hall Master Gong’s gaze settled on that horribly rotting face…
