He Suowei used his J1 ability, Total Lunar Eclipse, to block their sights on time. However, the corpses of the Empire Awakening team members blocked the steps downstairs, and the route behind was also cut off by Du Mo’s corpse. The only option was to go upstairs, but they were in Building B, while the body of Medusa’s Eyes wandered on the 19th floor, and he didn’t even know which floor he was on. These corpses controlled by Medusa’s Eyes were meant to drive them near the body to make them his killing target.
The four corpses of the Empire Awakening team were twisted and entangled together, rolling into a stiff pile of corpses, and it was impossible to tell which arm and which leg belonged to which person.
He Suowei didn’t dare look up, or even open his eyes for too long. The three of them were surrounded by at least ten floating eyes focusing their covetous gaze on them.
The stiff hands clasped their ankles and arms tightly. He Suowei took out a tactical dagger but couldn’t cut off the hard and petrified claws. The floating eyes already locked them in place, and soon Medusa’s Eyes would rush down to confront them head-on. With the monster’s powerful attack power, they wouldn’t have the strength to fight back.
“Gu Wulü, take the omega away.” He Suowei pushed the spittlebug omega, who was in the crook of his arm, to the husky alpha, “Look for an opportunity to go downstairs and meet the others.”
Gu Wulü’s limbs were also tightly entangled by the corpse’s hands. He took the almost dying spittlebug omega, turned his head with all smiles and told his captain: “Ge, you can’t bear it and just want to shoot yourself? Don’t scare me like that.”
“What are you talking about. Go quickly.”
However, in one breath, an instantaneous force tore off all the corpse hands entangling them. Gu Wulü and Spittlebug immediately moved away, and their backs disappeared downstairs from the junction of Building B corridor and Building C in the distance.
Husky gland’s J1 differentiation ability, Unleashed Dog: Detachment-type ability, break free from all restraints within a limited time, break through obstacles in the way.
He Suowei closed his eyes and gave himself a recovery serum, avoided the slow-moving corpse pile, then tapped on the communicator with his back against the wall: “Surnamed Bai, I asked my teammate to take the little omega away. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
A burst of electric current sounded in the communicator’s earphones. Bai Chunian actually responded.
“Where are you?”
He Suowei was a little short of breath: “At the entrance of the left-hand staircase on the tenth floor of Building B.”

The explosive wave mixed with flames destroyed the entire wall opposite the B1 elevator. The heavy wall had no support and began to collapse. The corpses of the four members of the Empire Awakening Team were all swept out of the building by the explosive wave. The tiles on the wall shattered and were lifted off by the force of the explosion. Sharp broken tiles scattered everywhere, and several floating eyes were chopped apart by the broken tiles, losing contact with the body, and gradually turning into stiff round stones, which fell to the ground in a mess.
He Suowei relied on his own J1 ability, Total Lunar Eclipse, to withstand the impact. He took advantage of the chaos at the time of the explosion to run towards Building A.
Lu Yan and Bi Lanxing, who guarded the two elevators on the third floor of Building A, couldn’t stay in place. Lu Yan used his J1 ability, the Cunning Rabbit’s Cave, to pass through the floor and quickly climbed towards the tenth floor of Building A, where Bai Chunian was. Bi Lanxing searched the stairs and used vines to block the stairway on each floor.
A huge gap was blown in the middle of the three buildings of the research institute, and a hole was opened from the tenth floor of Building B. Both the upper and lower floors slowly fell due to the loss of support, exposing the steel cast into the beams. The early morning light shone through this huge gap, beyond which were the roaring of the sea and the rocks washed away by the waves.
The dim sunlight slanted into the hall on the tenth floor. Bai Chunian was carrying an SA80 rifle, and the sun tinted his pure black team uniform with a honey-colored band of light.
The tip of Rimbaud’s tail was rolled on the steel bars that were exposed to the wall due to the impact of the explosion. He carried an M25 sniper rifle slung across his back, and a desert eagle hung from his fingertips, forming an angle with Bai Chunian’s standing position, pulling a section of gun line diagonally.
A man slowly walked out of the shadow from the opposite corner.
The alpha had long supple hair hanging down with his eyes wrapped in medical gauze. His jawline was clean and handsome, and his appearance was no different from that of a young man in his twenties.
He tilted his head slightly to listen to the positions of the two people on the opposite side, feeling the mutual hostility of the pheromones in the air, and smothered a laugh: “I sense a familiar viciousness.”
Rimbaud lowered his eyes and glanced at his nails, showing a look of disdain.
Medusa’s Eyes was facing Bai Chunian’s direction, with an unfriendly sneer hanging from the corners of his lips: “You’ve grown so much taller than you were then, little guy. I still remember the way you fell at my feet and curled up like a poor kitten, wailing with a broken hand, but still refused to beg for mercy.”
“Now it seems that your level is much higher… I’m really impressed.”
No matter how strong someone was, they wouldn’t be able to help feeling ashamed when reminded of their childhood downfall, but Bai Chunian was indifferent and unmoved. His only expression was cold and calm.
Bai Chunian couldn’t take his ridicule to heart, but it didn’t mean that Rimbaud was as generous. Rimbaud’s body, which was originally hanging from the steel bar, bowed up in anger. The scarlet pricks of his dorsal fin raised up, and he bared his fangs at Medusa’s Eyes. A low growl of intimidation escaped on his throat.
He loosened from the steel bars, supported himself with strong electromagnetic force, and rushed towards Medusa’s Eyes. His sharp claws stretched out from his fingertips in an instant and drew a half-arc with lightning in front of Medusa’s Eyes’ face.
The alpha gently dodged backwards, and the lower half of his snake tail hooked onto the stair railing to carry himself off the original place and out of Rimbaud’s attack range.
When biological characteristics were displayed on an alpha, there were only two possibilities: Either his glands had evolved to A3 grade and the excess energy of the glands lead to overflow, causing glandular cells to overproliferate in order to carry the energy. Or perhaps he was natively a snake and had been transformed to grow one-half human mimicry.
Medusa’s Eyes belonged to the latter. Because glands that could undergo A3 grade evolution were too rare, the evolutionary conditions were harsh, and the probability was very small.
“Why are you still in the cultivation stage? He doesn’t give you any soothing pheromones at all?” The snake alpha fought back at Rimbaud, and his palm covered with writhing scales easily cut off a strand of blonde hair from the side of Rimbaud’s ear.
The matured experimental subject’s suppression against the other subject still in the cultivation stage was stronger than imagined. Bai Chunian raised his gun and fired, a few bullets pierced the snake’s hands that were about to come into contact with Rimbaud’s body.
“Rimbaud, come back.” The trial ended. Bai Chunian intended to call back Rimbaud to switch to a conservative tactic.
But the snake obviously didn’t want to let go of this omega easily. He shook the tip of his tail slightly and made a rustling sound unique to rattlesnakes. Bai Chunian thought he was going to use the second associated ability “Rattle Tail” to randomly select a target to resonate. When Bai Chunian was ready to deal with his associated ability, the snake, however, stopped swinging its tail. At the same time, more than a dozen rotating floating eyes rose behind him, and his gaze turned to Bai Chunian at the same time.
It turned out that Rattle Tail was only used to confuse the target, and his purpose was to summon the floating eyes in all corners of the building.
Bai Chunian lowered his eyes and didn’t look at any of the eyeballs, but in this case he couldn’t accurately determine Rimbaud and the snake’s positions, and it became very difficult to set up the gun.
He covered his eyes with his right hand, and raised his gun with his left hand to shoot. The bullets fly as if they followed a preset orbit. Each shot avoided Rimbaud’s body. Rimbaud took the opportunity to take off the huge sniper from his back and blasted a shot at the snake’s left chest.
A mist of blood burst out of the snake’s chest. He shook his body backwards and retreated, but his chest, which had been blown apart by the sniper bullet, was healing quickly.
The sniper rifle couldn’t be fired continuously. During the interval of changing ammunition, the snake lunged and pressed Rimbaud tightly under his body. The snake’s tail wrapped around Rimbaud’s neck and waist with great strength, and the scales contracted, strangling Rimbaud tightly and suffocating him.
Rimbaud struggled to reach for the Desert Eagle that fell not far away, but a golden eyeball suddenly flew next to the gun and stared into Rimbaud’s eyes.
“Wu.” Although Rimbaud immediately closed his eyes, the brief few seconds of stare still damaged him. After a while, all the muscles in his body turned stiff uncontrollably, and a strong stinging pain rose from his bone marrow. Rimbaud let out a long whale-like cry, and the roar of pain echoed in the hallway.
The snake laughed as his shoulders twitched: “No matter how unbeatable an experimental subject in the cultivation stage is, you’re equally vulnerable in front of one in the maturity stage. You can only blame your alpha for not being good enough to you.”
The snake looked back at Bai Chunian: “How about it, I’m about to bite his neck off. Won’t you show me your higher differentiation ability?”
Bai Chunian fired a shot with his eyes closed. The bullet instantly penetrated the snake’s throat. The snake covered his throat and coughed up blood hoarsely, unable to say a word until he recovered.
There was a faint sound of rubbing at the stairs behind Bai Chunian. Five pitch-black vines grew rapidly along the railing, rushing past Bai Chunian’s ears with the sound of wind, and wrapped around Rimbaud’s body. At the same time, a circular black hole suddenly appeared on the ceiling above Medusa’s Eyes’ head. Lu Yan fell from the hole with his eyes closed holding the flamethrower and swept through.
The fire burned the snake’s skin making him subconsciously release the arm suppressing Rimbaud. Bi Lanxing controlled the black vine to pull Rimbaud back aside, then separated a vine to wrap Lu Yan on the waist so he could pull him back to safety at any time. Without delay, he wrapped a layer of Poison Ivy Armor that could offset pure damage for Lu Yan. Then immediately afterwards, he activated his ability again to protect Rimbaud.
Bai Chunian was stunned for a moment, then glanced back at Bi Lanxing: “What are you doing?”
“Sorry.” Bi Lanxing took a breath of cold air, and he also realized that he’d made a serious tactical mistake—his J1 ability, Poison Ivy Armor, was a single-target instantaneous ability that wrapped around the protected target in sequence when activated.
However, just now the situation was critical, and Bi Lanxing subconsciously chose to first wrap the poison ivy armor around Lu Yan, who was relatively safe behind the enemy, instead of Rimbaud, who was closest to the enemy’s attack range.
“No vision of the overall situation.” Leaving the words behind, Bai Chunian jumped over the bent steel bars and rushed towards Rimbaud. The snake’s claws were about to penetrate into Rimbaud’s defenseless back. Bai Chunian held Rimbaud at that moment and turned around, exposing his back to the snake’s claws.
Bi Lanxing made up for his mistake in time and wrapped the poison ivy armor around Bai Chunian without delay. The snake’s claws were met by the hard armor; the ivy armor burst and shattered, but it could flick the snake’s hands away at the same time.
But it was still too late. The snake reversed his direction, and the long snake tail quickly swept across Bai Chunian sideways. With the strong energy, Bai Chunian’s body pierced through the exposed steel bars on the wall, and his health bar plummeted to zero.
Rimbaud’s eyes widened, even his blue eyes turned bloody red, and lightning swam through his pupils.
The sky broadcast regretfully announced:
Experimental Subject No. 1513 eliminated 【Casually Playing】Bai Chunian.
The snake wiped the corners of his lips in triumph: “He also has no vision of the overall situation. A tactical commander should’ve ensured his own safety first, but he didn’t. He’s even so cocky that he doesn’t even bother to use his J1 ability. But that can only be your fault.”
“Hey, bro!” A brisk shout sounded from behind the snake. The snake frowned and turned to listen to the direction of the voice. In the ruined connecting corridors and floors of Building B, the snake saw a person in the rubbles of a corridor one floor below him.
The husky alpha jumped in the rubbles, holding a floating eye in his hand, threw it up and hit it away with a flashlight, and piu, it hit the snake on the forehead.
This angered the snake, and suddenly all the floating eyes turned to gaze into the husky.
With this, he became the only person in Medusa’s Eyes’ field of vision.
He Suowei suddenly exposed his head from the rubbles in the eleventh floor holding a crossbow he found in a fixed ammunition box. He’d replaced the arrow with a quick recovery serum, and the taut string sent the only quick recovery serum placed in the entire examination room into Bai Chunian’s body.
The already cleared health bar filled back up. Bai Chunian quickly opened his eyes, seized the tube of injection gun of pink accelerant a from Lu Yan’s pocket, and pushed it into Rimbaud’s nape glands.
“Kill him.”
