Abyss Summoner-Chapter 269 - 264: Frankenstein

In the city.

A group of skeletons cleared the way ahead, their eerie white bones and blood-red soul flames made the skeleton warriors incredibly terrifying. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Chen Feng's mouth, and with a command from him, they rushed towards Mr. Fang's research institute.

"Ah... skeletons... there are skeletons..."

Screams erupted from the crowd; the appearance of the skeleton warriors was too horrifying. Ordinary people were instantly terrified and scattered in all directions.

"Everyone, go home immediately!"

A warrior noticed the chaotic crowd and, leading his subordinates, drove them away, commanding them to return home. Having experienced previous riots, Feng Zhiyong was well-prepared.

Under the guise of a welcoming slogan, warriors stood every dozen meters on the streets of Bridge East. At this time, these people were responsible for dispersing the crowd, greatly reducing the chaos.

Rapid advance.

Chen Feng ordered everyone to speed up, and they formed into a sharp blade, cutting through the crowd and beginning their assault on the target.

After a while, a gigantic building was revealed before their eyes.

Research institute.

This was Chen Feng's target this time, and also where Mr. Fang resided. Under normal circumstances, this experimental maniac almost lived in the research institute 24/7.

"Prepare for battle!"

Standing in the crowd, Chen Feng began issuing orders. He glanced at his high-spirited subordinates and shouted, "High-Explosive Grenades, throw them!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of muffled explosions echoed!

This was a life-and-death battle; hesitation would only lead to a stalemate. Chen Feng had no patience to consider whether there were innocent people inside the research institute; he cared about one thing only: how to end the battle as quickly as possible.

The high-explosive grenades had astonishing destructive power, originally banned in Bridge East. But now, in this special period, no one cared about such rules.

Everything happened so suddenly; the guards inside the research institute didn't even know what was happening before the outer wall was smashed, and debris fell to the ground, instantly crushing several unfortunate ones to death.

"Wei Xun, go ahead."

The collapse of the wall outside the research institute signaled a complete breach of the defense system. Next, Wei Xun, who had been stationed in Bridge East, marched forward, launching the assault.

—Lizard Transformation!

Green scale armor gradually covered his body, and a giant tail sprouted behind him. In almost seconds, Wei Xun transformed into a humanoid lizard.

The danger level of this battle was fiercer than any previous battle faced.

Before arriving, Chen Feng had conveyed this to everyone; Wei Xun dared not be complacent and directly used the long-unused half-beastman form.

The skeleton warriors sharpened their weapons, following Wei Xun like loyal guards, charging into the smoke-filled research institute.

Bang!

A muffled sound came from ahead, followed by a man's loud shout: "Not good, we're under attack, requesting support... request..."

Squish!

The calls for help didn't last long before a shattering sound erupted.

The sound of slaughter spread throughout the research institute.

The guards at the door, the conservative warriors, didn't even know what happened. First, they were bombarded with high-explosive grenades, then assaulted by a lizard-like monster and skeleton warriors.

Death was spreading.

Chen Feng's only command for this battle was massacre.

The conservatives had always been a hidden threat; delaying even a minute might trigger a series of changes. So, at this moment, Chen Feng aimed to capture Mr. Fang as quickly as possible, cutting off Hong Jiuling's last support.

Wei Xun led the many skeleton warriors easily into the research institute, the sound of smashing and shouting was clear, with shadows occasionally falling out of the windows.

Bang!

In such a situation, those who hadn't died yet writhed in pain on the ground, but soon the warriors would shoot them, ending their lives.

After prolonged battles, those around Chen Feng had grown into true warriors, suppressing their humanity and thoughts during combat.

Killing was the main theme.

In these do-or-die circumstances, they could make the right choice in the shortest time.

It lasted a while.

Upstairs, a sudden sound of cracking bones was heard, followed by a skull falling to the ground. Even so, the skeleton warrior did not instantly die but kept its jaws clacking, making "crunch... crunch..." sounds.

Counterattack?

Inside the room came the noisy sounds of fighting, followed by Wei Xun's roar, his voice filled with anger. Clearly, he had encountered some formidable enemies.

This is Mr. Fang's research institute, certainly hiding many Corpse Demons inside. Obviously, Wei Xun was hindered by those half-human, half-corpse creatures.

"Flora, you lead the team over there."

With a command, Flora turned to look at the warriors beside her, her eyes reflecting a chilling light, conveying meanings that didn't require words; the warriors understood completely.

Loading their guns, drawing their blades, the group followed behind Flora, charging toward the house.

Sometimes, a cold gaze can be more effective than heroic encouragement.

Time passed by second by second.

Chen Feng's gaze grew heavier; under Flora's leadership, the warriors charged in, pressing the triggers on their weapons, and a barrage of gunfire ensued.

"Die!"

With an angry roar, the wall was punctured, and a monster with sickly pale skin, black lips, and long, sharp nails was thrown to the ground.

Even more striking, this Corpse Demon had some snake scales on its face, and its nose was flat, resembling a real python.

Chen Feng's expression turned grim as he looked upward.

"Has the Corpse Demon experiment reached the second stage?"

Chen Feng showed a hint of surprise; this mutated Corpse Demon was supposed to appear soon. Its body not only harbored the zombie virus but also incorporated some animal genes, much like the Snake Corpse Demon before him, possessing snake-like flexibility alongside corpse venom, able to battle even in the narrowest spaces.

It seems the conservatives have saved a trump card.

No such presence had been seen throughout Qiaodong.

Chen Feng knew some of the insider details of these experiments. Unlike ordinary Corpse Demons, these mutants had a very high mortality rate—out of ten, sometimes not even one would succeed.

It was conceivable how many died in the research, turning into a pile of bones.

However, these mutant Corpse Demons had extremely strong fighting capabilities, each capable of rivaling the strength of the Bronze Tier.

Chen Feng contemplated for a moment; he needed to summon some new allies. If the number of these mutant Corpse Demons increased, his warriors might even face the threat of slaughter.

He pressed his right hand against the ground.

—Summon!

Six pitch-black tentacles burst from the earth!

About as thick as a baby's arm, they stretched up to three meters long. This Tentacle Monster, loving battle more than anything else, burrowed into the building, flailing its tentacles to help Flora and others clear the enemies inside.

By the window, one could vaguely see the Tentacle Monster grasping several Corpse Demons, its tentacles tightly wrapping around their necks, twisting forcefully, and the Corpse Demons fell, their brain nerves clearly destroyed, ending their painful existence.

At three meters, the Tentacle Monster had an extensive attack range, its ability rivaling several long-range weapons.

Five minutes wasn't particularly long, but Flora and Wei Xun were visible, searching layer by layer, like scavengers, clearing the enemies between floors like trash, bit by bit.

Chen Feng's released Tentacle Monster killed many Corpse Demons and humans, their bodies thrown against walls and windows, showcasing the advantage of being a higher-up.

Things didn't need personal involvement; Chen Feng now played a role more like an adjudicator, monitoring the entire battle's progress, ready to intervene at any problem.

"Target spotted!"

"The target is in the laboratory on the fifth floor, requesting support… Ah… What is this monstrous thing!"

"Stand back, do not act rashly!"

Earlier, Chen Feng had everyone see Mr. Fang's photo. This man with an odd name had every expression branded into the warriors' minds.

The loud noise indicated that a warrior had indeed spotted Mr. Fang. The next moment, sounds of fighting came from the house, accompanied by explosions echoing within.

"Bang!"

With a huge crash, two figures fell out of the window.

One was Flora, the other, Hong Jiuling's advisor, the Corpse Demon experimenter, the gifted Mr. Fang.

But different from the earlier appearance, at this moment, with the stronghold destroyed, the composed Mr. Fang turned savage, tumbling to the ground and slowly getting up.

When he fell, his clothes were torn, revealing his skin beneath; shockingly, his legs weren't human flesh and blood but deer legs, hooves at the front, stepping silently on the ground.

Even his pupils began to change, becoming numb and cold-blooded like those of a snake, as Mr. Fang opened his mouth with a tongue-like hiss.

At this point, Mr. Fang seemed entirely insane, having all his efforts concentrated in this building, now partially destroyed by Flora and others. For someone already deranged in research, this was a monumental blood feud.

Chen Feng looked at the man's body, not rushing to act, rather interested in observing him. Indeed, Mr. Fang was a scientific madman, possessing considerable strength, secretly transforming himself into a scientific freak!
