Chapter 185 - Collusion (1/2)

The Rainbow Rodent was a special type of mutant. Its origin was not extra-dimensional but developed from the over-polluted corners of this planet.

In comparison to the extra-dimensional creatures that come from beyond the rift, its size was not something to boast about. On average, they grew to about a meter long but the emphasis was not on size but what was contained within—a type of toxin.

This toxin was what made people tremble in fear when encountering it.

Ever since the apocalypse, the first S-tier threat came from a tidal wave of these Rainbow Rodents that swept across the continent.

Its toxicity was comparable to the h.e.l.l Stone’s polluting source.

To put it simply, it was extremely lethal.

Boom!

The air around Qin Feng burst into flames.

The runes clashed as the strength of the toxin grew. Since the rune’s attribute was that of wood, extreme levels of heat should be able to destroy the toxin.

Qin Feng maintained the burning flames, turning him into a man of fire.

In the next moment, his body moved.

His hand that held the Verdant Emperor Saber was raised high up in the air, ready to slice apart the enemy.

051 however, had vanished into thin air.

He was moving faster than lightning!

Still, Qin Feng was no tortoise either. He had yet to unveil the tricks up his sleeve after all.

“Dark Shroud!”

Darkness descended from the ceiling, swallowing up the entire room. Everything around them turned blurry in an instant, startling 051 for a moment. He did not expect Qin Feng to possess such an ability.

“Poison Gas!”

In retaliation, 051 released his toxins. Apart from the bodies that littered the floor, virtually everything else in the laboratory was covered in a thick layer of mist, with a blend of green and black.

Professor w.a.n.g, who was monitoring the security footage, was completely blind to the battle that was unfolding below.

That only made the uncertainty he felt in his heart grow greater and greater.

“d.a.m.n it! There’s no other choice. Guess I’ll have to leave this place. We can’t continue using this lab, not after it’s been discovered by an outsider. What a b.l.o.o.d.y shame!”

This particular laboratory had already been operating for five years. It was through their hard work over the past few years that they had managed to expand its operational capacity to be able to produce a test subject as fine as 051.

Fortunately, he was able to save the most important thing which was crucial data obtained from those experiments, in the nick of time. If they were able to successfully move to another research center then all was not lost yet.

Since this laboratory was not single-handedly established by Professor w.a.n.g alone, he did not feel too emotionally attached to this place. Perhaps giving up this place would open up an opportunity for him to join an even more interesting research program.

With those self-rea.s.suring thoughts, Professor w.a.n.g retrieved a memory drive.

Considering how far they had come in their scientific research, the amount of data stored within this memory drive was impossible for a mere human brain to be able to grasp. Only with the help of technology could they store so much information so compactly.

And while the Professor was engrossed in his own thoughts, the battle in the laboratory was only getting more intense. The mixture of flames and toxins was so volatile that it made the entire room distort.

Both the combatants’ current conditions were vastly different.

051 was already out of breath. No matter how fast he could go, Qin Feng’s body had better endurance. Under a prolonged but highly-intense battle, the one with a clear disadvantage was naturally 051.

There was a great disparity in terms of their abilities!

In the mist of green and black, the gap was closed between the toxic rat and the burning flames.

051 knew very well that Qin Feng was inching closer to him by the second. Because of the burning flames s.h.i.+elding him against his opponent, Qin Feng remained unscathed by the toxicity of the mist.

“Pshh!” 051 squirted a mouthful of spit at his opponent. The ball of fluid was a shade of purple so deep that it surprised even Qin Feng.

And when that purple blob clashed with the flames, it exploded like a bomb, spraying purple fluid in every direction. On the floor where some of it was splattered, large craters were created. If it were to make contact with a human body, the consequences would undoubtedly be grave.

Though, that did not happen and the expression on 051’s face changed. Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen where he was supposed to be standing.

In the next moment, a chilling aura came was.h.i.+ng over him from the left. Qin Feng’s moves under the cover of darkness were d.a.m.n near impossible to predict.
