Chapter 571: Jealous of your future sister in law

They immediately raised their hands, palms outward in a surrendering gesture, their expressions anxious but uncertain.

But in an instant, everything changed. The air shifted with an unnatural crackle. Two of the scientists’ forms rippled, their bodies swelling and contorting in ways that defied normal anatomy.

One’s human features twisted, jaws elongating into a jagged maw while claws extended from his fingertips, his eyes burning with a feral, unnatural glow. The other’s skin erupted into a thick, mutated carapace, jagged edges crisscrossing its body as it snarled.

The remaining three scientists hesitated and then, with a violent surge of energy, they also activated their awakened powers. One’s voice boomed as he summoned crackling electrical arcs that surged around him, while another’s hands shimmered with shimmering, dark energy, ready to strike.

Han Xin’s eyes sharpened, instinct igniting deeply within him. His pulse quickened. Beside him, Xiang Yu’s face hardened, a surge of energy rippling into his fingertips. They both coiled with gathered power, preparing for the oncoming attack.

Without hesitation, Han Xin unleashed a wave of silenced shot energy, targeting the mutated creature. Xiang Yu followed suit, summoning a swirling burst of elemental force. The battlefield erupted into chaos—flesh and metal clashing as they fought to contain the terrifying mutants and volatile energy blasts.

Red alarms pulsed in the darkness, casting eerie shadows against the cracked walls. The scent of burning metal and stale blood hung in the air.

In the chaos Xiang Yu barely had time to react as his back was slammed against the cold bars of the containment cage by an unseen force.

The high-level zombie inside snarled, lunging forward with rotten teeth bared, inches from tearing into his flesh. Time slowed. He could see the decayed muscles twitching in its grotesque face, the gaping hunger in its soulless eyes.

Then there was an explosion. The zombie’s head burst into a mist of blackened gore, its body twitching before collapsing. Han Xin stood near, his fingers curled in invisible force.

Xiang Yu slid down the bars, breath ragged. His pulse drummed in his ears as Han Xin reached for him.

"I am fine go," Xiang Yu murmured, pushing himself up. His gaze flickered over Han Xin’s sharp features, his usual warmth replaced by something lethal. Han Xin turned away, eyes settling on the last scientist.

The mutated scientist let out a guttural snarl, forming a grotesque fusion of sinew and nightmare. Its elongated limbs twitched unnaturally, veins pulsing with unstable energy from the serums he had injected into his bloodstream. Half-human, half-abomination. Han Xin wasted no time.

He launched forward like a phantom, an invisible force wrapping around the creature’s twisted body. The monster shrieked, its limbs thrashing as Han Xin lifted it high above the wreckage, suspending it in midair. His expression was devoid of hesitation, cold and merciless. Then—he ripped.

The creature split apart, its limbs wrenched in opposite directions, flesh and bone separating in gruesome symmetry. Blood misted the air like rainfall, soaking into the walls of the research centre.
