With a sharp cry, Xiaocao immediately waved her tentacles, knocking out the fifteen "poisonous people" she had been monitoring, and then kidnapping them in mid-air to Lin Yaoshi's place. "Should we just throw them over there in the grove, or should we deliver them ourselves?"
"Just throw it over there, I'll make a call."
Lin Yao dialed directly, instructing the security captain in Bengbu to walk 25 meters into the grove from the waiting area to receive the "goods." After hanging up, he focused all his senses and power, preparing to break through.
"rush!"
Xiaocao rushed to the basement entrance first, habitually tying Lin Yao up and quickly pulling him towards their destination. She had already destroyed the surveillance system along the way, and even knocked out the staff on duty in the monitoring room, destroying all the recording equipment and leaving no evidence of her crime.
“Yaoyao, there are five more ‘poison people’ inside. Then there are two guys who are obviously more powerful than the ‘poison people’, who are also from ‘Morning Mist’. One of them is very special; he’s practically a giant poison person. It seems he’s the one in charge of the inoculation.”
As Xiaocao carried Lin Yao, he explained the situation as they flew. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the core area fifty meters underground. Lin Yao, who had been admiring the scenery along the way, was amazed that such a large-scale underground structure had been built here. It seemed that the supervision by the relevant departments had not been effective at all.
A long, vertical elevator shaft appeared before Lin Yao's eyes. Xiao Cao didn't use the elevator; instead, she directly destroyed the lifting equipment and violently dismantled the entire net-like lifting platform, revealing a straight vertical shaft. Obviously, this shaft was the route that "Allison" used to send unconscious soldiers underground to receive bacterial inoculation, and then return through the shaft after inoculation. No wonder the whole process was so fast.
Five ordinary "poisoners" were unconscious, and one person was clearly different from the ordinary "poisoners." Even Lin Yao could easily sense the special aura contained in this person's body. According to Xiao Cao, the bacteria in this guy's body were very complex, but most of them were bacteria that could paralyze or even kill people. He was probably the culprit described by American Holly Ford for the sudden unconsciousness of soldiers.
The other person, however, truly opened Lin Yao's eyes. That creature couldn't even be called human, as it was a living, humanoid bacterial composite, completely naked. Every inch of its skin was covered in long, fine hairs formed from fungal hyphae, a sight that sent chills down Lin Yao's spine. Even with his considerable strength, Lin Yao felt nauseous and disgusted.
It had no eyes, nose, or mouth; it was just a creature with a human-like outline, yet it crawled on the ground like a mollusk, and occasionally it could stand up for a short time. It was as disgusting as could be.
“Let’s take these two back for research as well. They are much more valuable than the ‘poisonous people.’ However, we must both be involved in the research on them throughout the entire process, otherwise the experts will be killed by them.”
Lin Yao immediately thought of using these two people to further understand "Chen Ai's" abilities. He discussed it with Xiao Cao in his mind, because he didn't know if Xiao Cao could control these two people to arrive in Beijing without any damage. In his view, these two guys were simply two mobile virus reservoirs.
"It's no use, Yaoyao. They're pushing their abilities to the limit. They've released all the poison gas, bacterial spores, and viruses they can. They'll die soon. Let's hurry up and do the experiments. You try using elemental true qi, or even healing true qi. I'll try various medicinal and poisonous qi, and I'll also try pill qi. Let's hurry."
Xiaocao spoke very quickly, like a machine gun firing a barrage of words, and finished a sentence in a flash: "The underground base's self-destruct mechanism has been activated. I can't control it. There are too many explosives. Let's get out of here quickly."
While leading Lin Yao and five ordinary "poisoners" plus two super "poisoners" out of the underground building, Xiao Cao intensified her experiments.
The two super "toxic people" were immediately enveloped in a cloud of smoke. Lin Yao felt as if his clothes, which were covered in a thick layer of mold, were being patted and emitting bursts of green, gray, and brown smoke. The scene looked terrifying. If it weren't for his strong immunity, he probably would have died from just this cloud of smoke.
Within half an hour, the two super-poisonous people had completely lost their lives. Even the strains that could be obtained from ordinary "poisonous people" disappeared. They only gained some experience in dealing with a few toxins and viruses, but nothing else.
When Xiaocao emerged from underground, she dragged five newly acquired "poisonous people." These five "poisonous people" had survived only because Xiaocao had specially protected them; otherwise, the poisonous smoke released by the sudden counterattack would have killed them, even though they could no longer be considered human.
Lin Yao and Xiao Cao used their abilities to completely destroy the entire base facility after informing the security team to continue accepting the five "poisoned people" by phone. The remaining ordinary employees of the "Allison" company were also knocked unconscious one by one, using violent means to avoid arousing suspicion.
Back at the hotel, Lin Yao checked out early the next morning and headed to Hefei to catch a flight to Changzhou. Since the headquarters of "Jiuren Pharmaceutical" was located in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, even though Huizhou already had a military-to-civilian airport, taking a road from Baiyun Airport in Changzhou to Huizhou was still the fastest way.
Just as Lin Yao was about to board the plane, he received a call from Elder Yi Potian, forcing him to temporarily halt his journey and immediately change flights back to Beijing.

"Morning Mist" reacted too quickly. "Nine People Pharmaceuticals" raised serious questions to the Chinese government and sought protection, citing the terrorist attack on the Chinese base of its friendly company, "Allison." This wholly foreign-owned enterprise group is now under tight protection by troops dispatched by the State Military Region. Of course, the troops mobilized are not currently under the control of the Yi family, and the military and relevant government departments immediately inquired with Lin Yao.
At this moment, Yi Potian, the Grand Elder of Beijing, was doing his best to stall for time, using Lin Yao's seclusion as an excuse. Obviously, it was not appropriate to go looking for trouble with "Nine People Pharmaceuticals" right now. Moreover, the news he heard from the Pei and Sun families indicated that the military and the ZY had already determined that the incident in Bengbu was caused by Lin Yao, which made Lin Yao marvel at the astonishing reaction capabilities of the national institutions.
A small-scale outbreak of an acute, unknown infectious disease occurred in Mong Cai, Vietnam, which borders China. The border has been closed, but this has elevated the status and value of "Nine People Pharmaceuticals" to an unprecedented level. At this point, the only option is to abandon the plan to eliminate the key figures of "Nine People Pharmaceuticals," otherwise Lin Yao will be completely isolated.
"What a hassle!"
He spat angrily into the trash can in the airport waiting hall, drawing disdainful glances from those around him. With a strong tug, the wheels of his leather suitcase made a screeching sound as he headed towards the boarding gate.
...
"Elder, what's the situation?"
Lin Yao was filled with mixed feelings. Destroying Allison's base in China and acquiring twenty "poisoners" was something to be happy about. However, the fact that Nine People Pharmaceuticals reacted so quickly made him realize that if he made a move against them, not only would he face trouble domestically, but also foreign governments.
Even without evidence, as long as the party involved, "Jiu Ren Pharmaceutical," points the finger at him, he'll definitely be in big trouble. After all, Jiu Ren Pharmaceutical can quickly solve the global pandemics that break out from time to time, while he, a genuine and traditional "epidemic control expert," is completely ignored.
While Lin Yao was lost in thought, Elder Yi Potian quickly explained the current situation, "Sir, you should change your clothes quickly. The military personnel are downstairs. It would be good to let them see you. They've been here for most of the day."
"The outbreak in Mong Cai, Vietnam, has spread to Dongxing City in China. This outbreak is an acute flu, and the specific details are still unknown, but there have been no deaths yet."
The First Elder, Yi Potian, remained expressionless. He had long ago determined that both "Allison" and "Nine People Pharmaceuticals" were companies created by remnants of the Jiang family. This coincidence, which was both extremely coincidental and lightning-fast, did not surprise him. Since the Yi family was determined to fight the Jiang family to the death, they would not back down. They could only rely on Lin Yao's abilities and provide him with the greatest possible assistance in order to completely defeat the Jiang family, save the entire Yi family, and save the country and even all of humanity.
Yi Potian didn't consider himself to have a magnanimous heart, but the Jiang family's complete disregard for human life ignited his fighting spirit. At this moment, he had downplayed the interests of the Yi family and completely linked the fate of the Yi family with that of humanity.
He and the entire Yi family chose to wholeheartedly support Lin Yao, with no other thoughts. As a result, he lived a very pure life, making decisions without any hesitation or fear. This mindset actually improved his Heavenly Realm quite a bit, and his personal abilities have also shown signs of rapid progress recently.
"Okay, let's go downstairs now." Lin Yao changed his clothes and went downstairs with Yi Potian.
Representatives from the military and the government had been waiting for a long time. Among them were two military representatives, one of whom was Major General Gao Lianda. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yao appear. Lin Yao noticed this and gave him a slight smile, which he appreciated.
Upon Lin Yao's arrival, the three representatives immediately greeted him with smiles. The official negotiations shifted from questioning and verifying his identity to discussing matters, expressing in a friendly and earnest manner their hope that Lin Yao could contribute to the fight against the epidemic in Dongxing City.
Lin Yao readily agreed and did not leave the villa. He only suggested that the military and relevant departments send virus or bacteria samples to the villa, and it would be even better if a typical patient could be sent.
As the three representatives were seeing off, Lin Yao used telepathy to tell Major General Gao Lianda that the demand for super gene warrior test subjects could be temporarily suspended, but the military's virology and bioweapons experts were still welcome to participate in the joint research group. The purpose, of course, was to explore the secrets of the "poisonous man" and prepare for possible future crises.
