The veins on her neck bulged, and her muscles writhed frantically as waves of violent energy erupted from within her body, clashing against the restraints of the Rule Power!
Su Wan’s pupils narrowed slightly as she pressed down with force, attempting to snap the collar shut.
“Click—!”
The moment the collar locked, Shen Han let out a low, hoarse, muffled roar.
But less than a second later, a string of blinding sparks burst from the collar’s joint. Fine cracks spider-webbed across the metal surface before it flew off Shen Han’s neck with a sharp bang!
She had actually broken free from the Slavery Collar!
Su Wan looked at the collar lying on the steps, her heart jolting in shock.
This was the first time a Slavery Collar had ever failed!
【Ding! System Emergency Prompt—】
【Slavery Collar failed to attach!】
【Reason for Failure: A special item of the same nature as the Slavery Collar exists within the target's body. The two have generated an energy conflict, preventing the collar from completing the neural link.】
【Preliminary detection indicates that the target “Shen Han” contains a high-level slavery-type item; specific type, level, and source are unknown. This item belongs to the same category as the “Slavery Collar (Basic Type)” currently used by the Host, but is of a higher rank.】
【Estimated time for detailed detection and analysis: 10 minutes.】
【Proceed immediately?】
Su Wan’s mind raced as she read the system prompt.
The item inside Shen Han that shared the same nature as the Slavery Collar had to be the method Pei Su used to control her!
Although Su Wan desperately wanted to know exactly what it was, a detailed scan required ten minutes.
She didn't have ten minutes right now.
Behind her, the ten Level 3 Late Stage gene-modified organisms were still in pursuit and were expected to arrive soon.
She had to deal with them first, then head to the Inner City to get Chen Shijie, Lei Lie, and the others out before Pei Su could react!
As for Shen Han...
“C1, C2,” Su Wan issued a command through the system. “Lock her in the interrogation room and increase the guard. No one is allowed near her without my order!”
【Command received.】
After dealing with Shen Han, Su Wan turned and blurred back toward the Ruin Zone.
The ten Level 3 Late Stage gene-modified organisms were sprinting toward Terminal Station.
However, they were spread out, maintaining distances of several dozen meters from one another as they advanced in a fan formation.
Su Wan’s mental power quickly locked onto their positions.
Without any hesitation or subtlety, Su Wan charged straight at the bald man leading the group!
Su Wan was too fast. By the time the bald man saw her, she was less than ten meters away.
“What?!”
The bald man’s pupils shrank. He never expected the person they were trying to capture would appear before him in such an incredible fashion!
In the next second, the Dual-Mode Pulse Bracelet lit up, and a Gene Disruption Wave sank precisely into his chest.
The fierce-looking bald man didn't even have time to react before his body stiffened and he collapsed limply to the ground!
A tall, thin man nearby reacted the fastest. He opened his mouth to shout, but a shot from Su Wan’s Micro-Pore Particle Emitter hit him square in the chest.
The blue particle beam pierced through his combat suit, the high temperature searing the wound. He fell to the ground before he could even scream.
Su Wan was like a tiger in a flock of sheep. One Gene Disruption Wave after another shot from her bracelet, accurately striking the gene-modified organisms.
In less than a minute, all ten Level 3 Late Stage gene-modified organisms lay collapsed among the ruins.
Some were unconscious, others were struggling weakly, but not a single one could stand.
Standing in the center of the ruins, Su Wan looked down at the bodies littering the ground and let out a long breath.
She contacted Iron Bone in her mind.
“Iron Bone, bring your men here.”
“Bring ropes and vehicles. We have ten Level 3 Ability Users to transport back to Terminal Station!”
Ten minutes later, Iron Bone arrived with over a dozen members of the Terminal Station security squad.
“Master.” Iron Bone walked up to Su Wan, his pupils constricting slightly as his gaze swept over the men on the ground.
Ten Level 3 Late Stage gene-modified organisms.
Anywhere in Panshi City, this was a force capable of sweeping through an entire district.
Yet before his Master, they hadn't even had the chance to resist.
“Load them into the vehicles and take them back to Terminal Station,” Su Wan said, her eyes open and her voice calm.
“Remember, every one of them must be locked down with alloy shackles.”
“Understood.” Iron Bone waved his hand, and the security squad members began their work.
Su Wan stood to the side, watching Iron Bone and the others work while she quickly calculated her next move.
Ten Level 3 Late Stage gene-modified organisms, plus the three from before, made thirteen in total.
They were all perfect test subjects.
When that lunatic Chen Shijie saw these subjects, his eyes would surely light up like lightbulbs.
Now that she had the subjects, she just needed the facility.
Su Wan closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into the system panel.
The 【Infrastructure Expansion】 interface opened before her, with rows of architectural options neatly arranged.
Her gaze swept quickly across them, finally landing on an entry at the bottom of the 【Advanced Infrastructure Options】.
【Option 7: Basic Laboratory】
【Description: Used for scientific research in fields such as biology, genetics, and pharmaceuticals. Equipped with basic experimental equipment, including but not limited to: microscopic imaging systems, gene sequence analyzers, cell culture equipment, low-temperature storage equipment, basic potion preparation devices, etc.】
【Specifications: Semi-underground structure, three floors in total, with a total floor area of approximately 600 square meters. Level one is the Sample Receiving Area and Preliminary Processing Area; level two is the Experimental Operation Area and Data Analysis Area; level three is the Live Sample Storage Area and Low-Temperature Cold Storage Area.】
【Special Configuration: The Live Sample Storage Area is equipped with independent life support systems and safety isolation devices, allowing for the secure storage of various live test subjects. The entire laboratory utilizes a modular design and can be upgraded or expanded as needed.】
【Construction Cost: 150,000 Points】
【Construction Time: 5 minutes】
【Note: This facility is a standard experimental installation and does not include advanced or specialized equipment. Subsequent upgrades are required for higher-level research.】
Su Wan’s gaze lingered for a moment on the line regarding the “Live Sample Storage Area.”
A faint smile curled at the corners of her mouth.
Wasn't this exactly what Chen Shijie wanted?
“System, build the Basic Laboratory. Location—” She paused, sketching out the overall structure of the Terminal Station building in her mind.
“Third basement level, eastern sector.”
【Command confirmed: Constructing Basic Laboratory ×1 in the eastern sector of the third basement level of the bound building “Terminal Station.”】
【Specifications: Semi-underground structure, three floors, total area of approximately 600 square meters.】
【Construction Cost: 150,000 Points.】
【Construction Time: 5 minutes.】
【Confirm?】
“Confirm.”
【Construction initiated... Utilizing “Rule-Overlay Silent Construction” mode. Estimated time: 5 minutes.】
