The First Order-Chapter 756 - Crisis in the underground

Chapter 756 Crisis in the underground

The battle with Chen Liu’er was within Ren Xiaosu’s expectations, and Li Shentan and Yang Xiaojin had also guessed that such a day would come.

However, they probably had not expected Ren Xiaosu would end this battle so quickly. Yang Xiaojin considered herself to understand Ren Xiaosu the best. She knew full well that even though Ren Xiaosu was very strong, he would still have some difficulties when facing Chen Wudi’s clone.

After all, Chen Wudi was way too powerful. So even his clone could crush most superhumans in the world. However, Chen Liu’er was still not mature enough. It had only been a few years since he was cloned. No matter how much the Pyro Company trained and instilled knowledge and ideology into him, he would still have some shortcomings.

Besides, Ren Xiaosu’s fighting style was really strange, so most superhumans would be caught off guard if they encountered him. As such, it was only natural he would kill Chen Liu’er.

Moreover, the monkeys Chen Liu’er summoned even revolted.

No, it would be more accurate to say it was Chen Liu’er who had revolted while those monkeys remained loyal to Chen Wudi. As a result, Chen Liu’er was unsettled when he saw that.

The sight of the monkeys kowtowing in Chen Wudi’s direction was way too shocking for Chen Liu’er. Although they were created through his powers, they were not under his control. The difference between the real and fake Great Sage was immediately established.

At this moment, Li Shentan muttered to Si Liren in the hallway inside the building, “And I thought they were going to battle for seven days and seven nights. That would’ve been so satisfying to watch. Then at the moment when my friend was in danger, I would make an appearance and shout, ‘Xiaosu, I’m here to save you!’ How exciting would that be?”

Si Liren turned her head and glanced at Li Shentan speechlessly. She realized the guy still hadn’t had enough of the battle that was going on outside. Of course, Si Liren herself was also hoping for more. Actually, these two spectators hoped the battle would last a bit longer.

After all, it should be an extremely intense fight considering it was a battle between master and “disciple.” Only a deathmatch with fists to the flesh would feel satisfying to watch.

‘Ren Xiaosu, wasn’t that such a lackadaisical battle you fought?’

But Ren Xiaosu would definitely not think that way as he was a very practical person. Although fighting for three days and three nights would ease his hatred, wasn’t his ultimate goal still to kill that person?

At this moment, Li Shentan heard someone exclaim in front of him. He and Si Liren had been walking at the back of the group while Vanilla and the others had already passed through the hallway and arrived in the main lobby. The entire building was 15 stories tall. Such a building could easily be considered a landmark even in the strongholds. In the wilderness of the Sacred Mountains, it stood out and was especially eye-catching.

But when they went upstairs, they realized there was actually nothing there at all. It was even Luo Lan who discovered an entrance to the basement of the building first. Only then did the others follow and head down as well.

The style of the basement was clearly different from that of the upper floors. The upper floors were just like a traditional office building, with partitions separating each desk into cubicles. There was nothing strange about it.

But it became strange in the basement. The main door was an alloy gate that required a password to be entered before passing through.

However, this alloy gate was already open and did not pose any obstacle to anyone.

When Luo Lan switched on the lights at the end of the hallway, the group let out a scream.

The hall was filled with transparent birthing chambers. Everyone could see the “clones” asleep in their chambers through the glass.

Wang Yun stood in front of a birthing chamber and said, “I’ve seen a few of these people before. The third one on the left is a superhuman from our Kong Consortium. I didn’t know we actually lost a DNA sample.”

When Wang Yun said this, he still withheld something from the rest. Actually, he could recognize a lot of the clones here from his memory, and he knew the backgrounds of half of them. Based on his memory, the faces of these clones all belonged to superhumans. In other words, it meant these birthing chambers were all filled with superhumans.

Seeing the dozens of birthing chambers in the basement lobby, it seemed the Pyro Company had really succeeded in obtaining a lot of DNA samples over the years.

While Wang Yun was pondering this, someone else nearby, who was also examining the birth chambers, suddenly yelled. The person fell to the ground in fright and even retreated in a flurry.

Everyone looked over and was surprised to see a superhuman’s clone in the birthing chamber across that person had opened its eyes!

The sound of glass shattering rang out through the lobby. The nutritional fluid in the birthing chambers started pouring out through the cracks. In an instant, the floor of the lobby was flooded with the fluid, which reached ankle height.

Li Shentan helplessly lowered his head to have a look. Then he looked at Si Liren. “Being able to fly is way better. My shoes are ruined.”

The clones started walking out of their birthing chambers one by one. Their limbs were slightly stiff and they did not have any expressions on their faces. It looked extremely eerie and terrifying.

Luo Lan slowly retreated. As he did so, he said to Zhou Qi, “The floor is flooded with water, so this can be considered your home turf. Hurry up and kill them.”

Zhou Qi rolled his eyes. “There’s a few dozen of them here. If they’re all superhumans, not even ten of me will be a match for them.”

“You still gotta come up with something.” Luo Lan said anxiously, “I just saw a superhuman from the Li Consortium that had a grudge with me. Do you think his clone will have the same memories? Will he be seething with anger when he sees me? Wait, look over there, there’s two others from the Li Consortium as well. Oh no, they’ve outnumbered us!”

As the conflict between the Qing Consortium and the Li Consortium was not something new, quite a few of the Li Consortium’s supernatural beings had a feud with Luo Lan.

But what was with the Li Consortium!? They actually had that many DNA samples stolen by the Pyro Company?

But as they were panicking, they heard Li Shentan shouting at the clones that had walked out of their birthing chambers, “Hey, look over here!”

The smart ones like Luo Lan quickly looked away. It was obvious Li Shentan was about to hypnotize people again.

It would be really stupid to look at Li Shentan at this moment. Those who did might as well have offered their lives to him. Of all those present, not too many could resist Li Shentan’s hypnosis. Once they got hypnotized, whether they could walk out of this place alive would have to depend on Li Shentan’s mood.

But the clones were unaware of this. So when Li Shentan spoke, all of them looked at him. Li Shentan clapped his hands three times and said, “Everyone, the moment you saw me clapping my hands three times, you surrendered your consciousness to me. Obey my orders now and return to your birthing chambers. When I’m done with my other affairs, I’ll come back to deal with you again.” After that, the clones really went back inside their birthing chambers!

Luo Lan was dumbfounded by what he saw. He was thinking that if he had Li Shentan’s power, would he still need to be afraid of anyone? Just by controlling several dozen supernatural beings, he would be invincible!

He quickly said to Li Shentan, “Since you can control them, why don’t you get them to scout ahead for us?”

Li Shentan shook his head. “You’re all too nervous. These clones don’t have any superpowers, so I don’t know why you guys are so afraid.”

Luo Lan was taken aback. “They don’t have any superpowers?”

Then how on earth did the Pyro Company manage to awaken the superpowers of Chen Liu’er and Li Shentan’s clone?
