The R-Code Base training ground was full of people.

The burning fire filled up half the sky, illuminating Wu Jins vision. Some people in the crowd whod just gone crazy over the offered rewards were now in a panic, and there were people now trembling as they discussed the situation in fear.

The base wont care if were burned, On that side, theyre blocked by the power grid and cant get out. On this side, they said that the information being burned is more important than the peoplenow, n.o.body dares to go in to put out the fire, and theyre starting to catch people from the lowest level up.

The instructors arent going inside. Theyre just watching us go in. Someone s.h.i.+vered, Whos fighting the fires now?

Two of the genetically modified. Theyve been emotionally locked.

At this time, even the hardest-headed ones felt s.h.i.+vers run down their backs. There were two dead ends in front of them. Disobedience would cause them to be destroyed by the base, but even if they obeyedafter the emotional lock was put in, they could easily be controlled by the base.

A riot began at the end of the crowd, The iron gate! The iron gate is open, someone ran out!

At the edge of the R-Code Base.

The warning equipment didnt respond due to the damaged circuits, and Wei s.h.i.+ looked back for the last time as they walked away.

This was the iron gate where hed found the little shortie.

The gun was slung behind Wei s.h.i.+. The lighting on this path was very dim, and he held Wu Jin with one hand. The youth looked solemn, and his arm muscles were tense beneath his rolled up sleeves, revealing his faintly powerful outline. He squinted his eyes, imprinting the dark R-Code Base in his mind.

Wu Jin whispered, Well have another home! Although the price of land outside is very high, we can definitely buy a house thats larger than the dormitory with our combined efforts

Wei s.h.i.+ turned his head, Shut up, who says that this is home. He stopped looking at the base. I remember the way out. In the future, Ill come back and get revenge for you.

Wu Jin was amused and smiled broadly, showing little white teeth that held no lethal biting power.

There was a sudden disturbance at the iron gates behind them, and footsteps sounded, accompanied by short pants. They couldnt tell if it was from anxiousness or excitement.

Wei s.h.i.+ no longer tried to remember everything in detail. They werent the only ones who wanted to escape from the R-Code Base.

There were other genetically modified

The boy who cried and howled in the training ground normally was crawling on all fours like a centipede as he waded through the mud outside the iron gate in order to squeeze outside.

He looked up to see the scene outside the base.

There was a city beyond the black fog in the distance, at the far end of the hillside. The bright lights were like stars embedded in the night, and huge billboards set atop the buildings loomed out from the forest.

The youth whod failed his genetic transformation laughed loudly and eerily, the sound echoing creepily in the dark. The fleeing youth all kept away from him as they rushed towards the hills in a panic

The sound of sirens suddenly went off.

Wei s.h.i.+ didnt hesitate to hold onto Wu Jin tightly, Run!

Wu Jin tried to suppress the feeling of a concussion in his mind. After the firelight disappeared, the aftereffects of the emotional lock had risen up again. At the other end of his consciousness, Researcher Song spoke up in surprise, Brother Weis subconscious has fluctuated to 130. Very good.

Wu Jin immediately regained his strength and leaned in by the big bosss ear, We can go outsidek2013;k2013;well definitely go outside! Remember, we agreed!

The searchlights from the base came on, and Wei s.h.i.+ gritted his teeth, Mm. We agreed.

Adrenaline rose up sharply, and the youths eyebrows were drawn tight as he used his back to s.h.i.+eld Wu Jin.

Volatility 140.

The slower modified students behind them had been caught, and the crowd began to stir. Some retreated, while others continued to rush forward. Wu Jin looked around with his weak vision and tried to control his physiological nausea.

Those who had been sent out to bring back the genetically modified had also been modified.

Many of them were low-level, genetically modified humans whod never had a chance to pick up a gun in their entire lives. At this time, they were fired up by the instructors and seemed full of excitement. Bullets sprang out of guns fired by hands that had never held guns before, and they had no set trajectory, no set target

It was to the point where it wasnt clear if they were doing it for the base or simply venting.

Howling sounded out again. The crazy youth, whod failed in his genetic transformation, smiled as he turned blind eyes towards the horizon beyond the base, but it suddenly turned into a shrill scream.

A bullet had just ripped past him.

Wu Jin spoke up in a hurry, Ill go down and walk by myself. Take your gun.

Wei s.h.i.+ nodded. He reached out a hand to hold Wu Jins, and they trudged towards the forest with uneven steps until the black fog was nearly gone. Suddenly, a searchlight lit up behind them. Wei s.h.i.+ gestured for Wu Jin to hide behind the tree, and raised his hand to load the gun.

Deep in Wu Jins consciousness, Researcher Song informed him, Volatility 150200 is the threshold, almost there, almost there!

His field of vision suddenly brightened.

The heavily armed instructor looked at the two of them in surprise and anger. Wei s.h.i.+ didnt say a word and lifted up his gun

Wu Jins heart beat slammed in his chest. The youth had only trained at the shooting range for less than a week, and his tactical evasive maneuvers and positioning all came from brawls, but he seemed to have a natural talent for it. The big boss squinted his eyes, his intuition causing him to focus on the instructors arm and not the gun.

The other side shot out a bullet.

Wu Jin: Careful!

The bullet streaked through the air with a roar, rus.h.i.+ng across the void and causing a buzz before exploding against the broken earth.

Wu Jin pursed his lips.

Hollow bullets. This kind of bullet had powerful penetration ability and great killing power. This was R-Code Bases killing equipment.

Almost exactly when Wu Jin spoke up, the big bosss subconscious fluctuations jumped up to 171. To everyones surprise, Wei s.h.i.+ didnt rush to retreat but instead went straight at the instructor. The youths shoulders, arms, waist, and abdomen were all extremely tense, and beneath the instructors astonished gaze, he turned the gun and smashed down with the handle.

The instructors gun fell to the ground.

Wu Jin quietly snuck over to pick it up.

The instructor glared fiercely at Wei s.h.i.+ but continued to be fearless. He pushed the b.u.t.ton in his palm, You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you have the emotional lock, yet you still dare what?! How can

When the emotional lock was activated, Wei s.h.i.+ seemed completely unaffected and only turned around in a panic to look at Wu Jin whod taken the emotional lock for him

Wu Jin blinked.

It seemed he couldnt feel anything. However, the big boss had obviously blown his top. The youth picked up the gun and was just about to fight to the death with the instructor, but he suddenly thought of something.

Wei s.h.i.+ stooped down, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the instructor. The little shortie hugged the gun and stood watch like a little loyal protector until Wei s.h.i.+ plucked out an unopened black bracelet.

The instructors pupils shrank, You cant, you little beast, you dare

Wei s.h.i.+s face was expressionless as he put the bracelet on the instructor. He felt for the controller and tossed it to the little shortie, The lock is on the left, and exploding it is on the right. Take it to play with.

Wu Jins eyes were bright. He didnt think twice before pressing the left b.u.t.ton and setting a timer for the right

A shrill scream came from the instructor, and the smell of shame spread in the air. The misery that the genetically modified had to undergo was often ridiculed by the instructors, yet when it actually happened to them, they unexpectedly covered themselves with their own feces and urine.

Wei s.h.i.+ gave Wu Jin a thumbs up, Run!

The two of them ran along the forest and tried to avoid attacks from the other genetically modified students.

Wei She held a gun, and Wu Jin held a rifle. From the moment Wu Jin fired a shotWei s.h.i.+ didnt ask him a thing and let the little shortie cover his back.

The backs of the two youths were close to each other and covered in sweat. Wei s.h.i.+ s.h.i.+fted slightly.

Fluctuation 183.

They fought nearly all night long. The city in the distance finally became clear in their field of vision. Wu Jin looked up at the big boss in astonishment.

A Ferris wheel rotated slowly amidst the scattered lights, Pterosaurs hovered over the city, and wild cats padded gracefully atop the colorful shops.

This was the city in the big bosss subconscious, built up using Wu Jins description.

Every inch of it carried the shadow of the little shortie.

There was a rush of footsteps from behind them. Researcher Song said in excitement, Fluctuation 187

Wei s.h.i.+s gaze suddenly turned deep, and he pulled Wu Jin to dodge an incoming bullet. The shot bypa.s.sed the two as Wei s.h.i.+ pushed them away in an instant

Wu Jin patted his b.u.t.t and quickly stood back up.

Wei s.h.i.+ let out a fierce breath of relief when he saw that he was fine.

Researcher Song: The fluctuations have gone down to 185

Wu Jin almost broke out in curses. What the h.e.l.l kind of fluctuation was this! At this time, a stray bullet headed straight for Wei s.h.i.+

Wu Jin narrowed his eyes.

Logic kicked in, and he made a clear judgement before everything else. He was calmer than ever before as his thinking drove his consciousness and controlled his body. Wu Jin jumped up to block the bullet for the big boss, Run

Blood gushed out in a flash.

Wu Jin trembled fiercely.

Fluctuation 198, Little Witch, its enough, prepare to come out

It seemed that he was slowly drawing away from the big bosss consciousness. It was unclear if it was due to the fluctuating consciousness or due to a sharp rise in pain tolerance after the emotional lock, but Wu Jin didnt even feel the pain.

He reached out towards the wound.

The bullet had exploded after penetration, and it seemed that his waist had been pierced through.

Wu Jin immediately covered his abdomen, his fingertips then covered with trembling palms. Blood seeped out of the wound, flowing along his own fingers, then Wei s.h.i.+s.

The big bosss eyes were bloodshot, and he screamed in despair.

The first time, the second time.

The entire world built of his consciousness seemed to shake, and time finally slipped from its shackles. At one point, Wu Jin could see the sky light up, the entire base burning in the fire, the city rotating; the big bosss memories and his cognition were rapidly undergoing a s.h.i.+ft.

The youth clung to Wu Jin as though grasping at the last straw. The little shortie collapsed weakly into his arms.

Wu Jin used the last of his strength to push up onto tiptoes and kiss the big boss, Wei s.h.i.+!

He could almost hear the busy sound of footsteps in the laboratory. Wu Jin tried to use what time he had left to appease the big boss, kissing him and kissing him again until his vision turned dark, You need to think about it carefully, about whether or not youre dreaming right now!

Dont worry about this waist. I Im waiting for you to come out. Wu Jin tried to raise his face up. He wanted to hug the big boss, but when he saw that his hand was covered in blood, he quickly tried to hide it away.

Wei s.h.i.+s eyes had practically lost all their l.u.s.ter. His brain was almost blown open by his chaotic memories. The base, the Federation, the Empire, Floating City he finally focused on Wu Jins body and said hoa.r.s.ely, You

Wu Jin wanted to explain, but he was out of strength and couldnt hold himself up. He used the last of his strength to lean close to the big bosss ear, his touch like a b.u.t.terfly with blood on its wings.

Imthe knight who came to pick you up.

The body that had lost the consciousness that had supported it fell against Wei s.h.i.+s bosom.

The youths pupils contracted sharply.

Inside the Floating City laboratory, Researcher Song took a deep breath and stood up abruptly

Fluctuation 202. Over the threshold. Get ready to take them out

Juurensha: Good job Little Witch!

xiin: ahhh Little Witch getting injured is going to scar poor Wei s.h.i.+~
