The next moment, Li Ling appeared in front of Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui was startled by Li Ling's swift movements and instinctively reached out to hit him.
Li Ling reached out and grabbed his arm. With a little force, Mr. Cui's arm made a "crack" sound as the bones broke.
"Ah!" Mr. Cui cried out in pain.
Li Ling reached out and grabbed his neck, lifting him up and mocking, "You're really weak. Who gave you the courage to face me so arrogantly?"
Before Mr. Cui could speak, Li Ling snapped his neck with a "crack".
Show-offs die young!
Suddenly, Li Ling sensed danger approaching, which made his hair stand on end. He instinctively moved to the side, and with a 'bang', he was shot in the shoulder.
"Brother Li Ling!"
Gu Ziyun let out a soft cry, then raised his gun and fired at the curly-haired youth, who had somehow acquired a gun.
'Bang,' 'Bang,' 'Bang,' 'Bang'...
Gu Ziyun fired several shots at the curly-haired youth. The youth unleashed his potential, dodging Gu Ziyun's gunshots with his swift reflexes and agility, a result of genetic modification.
'Click,' Gu Ziyun's gun ran out of bullets.
The curly-haired youth's face lit up with joy, and he was about to raise his gun to shoot Gu Ziyun when a 'whoosh' sound was heard as a throwing knife struck his wrist. The pistol fell to the ground, and the curly-haired youth clutched his wrist where the throwing knife had pierced through.
Li Ling reached to his waist and produced another throwing knife, which he then shot towards the curly-haired youth.
The curly-haired youth unleashed his mental power, controlling a fallen iron gate to block his path, and then threw a flying knife at it.
Li Ling stopped attacking, and Gu Ziyun ran up to him, reaching out to touch his shoulder, asking with concern, "Brother Li Ling, are you alright?"
Li Ling smiled slightly, tore off his shirt to reveal his muscular upper body. A bullet was embedded in his shoulder. Li Ling reached out and removed the bullet; there was only a shallow dent where the bullet had hit.
Li Ling has now mastered the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt technique, making him impervious to blades and spears. Bullets cannot penetrate his body. Although he still suffers some minor injuries, they are not serious. With the repair provided by his internal energy and the World Seed, he will recover in no time.
Li Ling smiled and patted Gu Ziyun's head, saying, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Gu Ziyun also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Ling's shoulder injury was not very serious. Then she looked at the curly-haired youth lying on the ground and said, "Now it's just us left."
The curly-haired youth got up from the ground, stuck out his tongue at Li Ling and Gu Ziyun, took out a bottle of medicine to treat genetic defects from his pocket, fiddled with the medicine, and said, "The rest are in the safe in the control room."
"Where was it made?" Gu Ziyun asked. This drug only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, and requires monthly injections. This drug is also what the organization uses to control these genetically modified individuals.
The curly-haired young man gestured with his chin and joked, "Maybe at the head office research institute."
"Where is that place?" Gu Ziyun pressed.
"We'll see," the curly-haired youth replied, avoiding a direct answer. "Whether you survive or not, we'll decide whether to tell you."
Li Ling's lips curled slightly, and he turned around and kicked out, sending the long-haired woman rushing towards him crashing into the wall with a 'thud'.
"Pfft!" The long-haired woman spat out a mouthful of blood.
It turns out that the curly-haired youth said all that just to create an opportunity for the long-haired woman to launch a sneak attack.
But Li Ling didn't give him a chance. With a 'whoosh,' he threw a flying knife, which struck the long-haired woman on the head. This time, the cockroach-like long-haired woman finally died.
Li Ling turned to the gloomy-faced, curly-haired youth and laughed, "Looks like you have no chance to turn the tables!"

Chapter 137 The Universe
The curly-haired youth swung his arm, and the iron gate on the ground flew towards Li Ling and Gu Ziyun. He then tried to take control of the pistol on the ground.
"Ziyun," Li Ling called out softly.
With a wave of her hand, Gu Ziyun instantly flung the flying iron gate aside with her telekinetic power.
'laugh!'
Li Ling threw a throwing knife, which struck the curly-haired youth who had already grabbed the pistol in the head. The youth stared at Li Ling in astonishment, his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word before collapsing to the ground and dying.
Li Ling sighed, looked at Gu Ziyun beside him, took her hand, and said, "Let's find the remaining potion first, and then go find the organization's headquarters."
Gu Ziyun nodded, looked at Li Ling seriously, and said, "Thank you."
Li Ling gently pinched her nose and said quipped, "Why are you thanking me? You're my woman, protecting you is what I should do."
Gu Ziyun curled her lips, rolled her eyes at Li Ling, and said, "Who's your woman?"
Li Ling pulled her into his arms, lifted her chin with his fingers, and said with a grin, "Who are you calling a 'who'?"
Gu Ziyun broke free from his embrace and said reproachfully, "You're not wearing any clothes on your upper body!"
Li Ling had just checked the damage to his shoulder from the gunshot wound and torn his shirt to shreds; he was now shirtless.
Li Ling shrugged and said, "You'll see the whole body sooner or later, so what's there to be shy about!"
Gu Ziyun rolled her eyes, ignored him, walked to the curly-haired youth's side, looked at the broken potion on the ground. When the curly-haired youth died, he fell to the ground, and the potion he was holding also fell to the ground. Now only a puddle of potion solution remained on the ground.
Gu Ziyun sighed, "What a pity."
Li Ling also walked over, and as soon as he got close to the potion stand, he couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ziyun asked curiously.
