Donkey led Reaper to the innermost area and began to introduce.

"This is our first prototype of a speed type." Donkey pointed at a large tube glass with a human-shaped creature floating. On the outside, this creature was no different from an ordinary human. It was difficult to imagine this creature could possess a speed rival of cheetah's.

As Donkey was about to introduce further, Reaper interrupted him. "No need to explain about it. Just tell me, can it be used now?"

Donkey paused for a moment, and a smile on his face grew wider. "It's better to see by yourself." Following that, he pressed a red button on a console before him.

In the next moment, the water in the tube glass was gradually draining away. The tube glass was also opened afterward. The human-shaped creature stood motionless before its eyes opened, looking at Donkey and then Reaper.

"Get down here." Donkey said, and the creature slowly walked out of the stand, landing on the ground with a thud. It could be seen its body was extremely powerful.

"Now, zero one, show our esteemed guest how powerful you are." Donkey said and stepped aside.

Zero one glanced at Reaper, and his body immediately burst out with a powerful force. His figure rushed forward and sent out a punch at Reaper. His speed was so terrifying, beyond the scope of human ability.

Reaper's expression did not change in the slightest. He raised his arms to guard Zero one's attack.

Bang!

Reaper felt as though his arms were about to break apart. He was forced to retreat several steps by Zero one's simple punch.

He shook his arms slightly to get rid of the numbness and nodded his head in satisfaction. "Good."

Donkey came forward with a flattering smile hung on his face. He rubbed his hands together and said. "I wonder…"

Reaper glanced at him and threw a bankcard to Donkey. "How many you can produce in a month?"

Donkey carefully put the bankcard away and said proudly. "I can make three of it in one month."

"Only three?" Reaper frowned, appearing dissatisfied with this.

His words made Donkey's face twitch. Creating three in a month was already considering a miracle yet, you are still dissatisfied with it? Of course, Donkey did not dare to say this. Instead, he said. "This is already at my limit. However, if you want to…."

Before Donkey could finish his sentence, Reaper interrupted. "How much do you need?"

Donkey grinned and raised three fingers. "Three billion… and ten manpower. It's best to be a biologist."

Reaper nodded his head. "I'll ask the headquarter about it." While he was speaking, his eyes never left Zero one. A trace of excitement could be seen in the depth of his eyes.

The sun slowly faded away, and the sky was replaced with darkness. A dimmed moonlight shone through a group of clouds, making the atmosphere turn oddly gloomy.

At this moment, Yun Lintian and Xia Yao were walking hand in hand along the bustling street. They would occasionally laugh and tease each other. No matter how one looked at them, they were nothing but a sweet couple.

"It's been a while, huh?" Yun Lintian said and reached his hand to hug Xia Yao's waist, bringing her close to him.

Xia Yao leaned against Yun Lintian and responded with a blissful smile. "I wish this moment could last forever."

Yun Lintian went silent immediately upon hearing this. Guilt appeared in his heart as he felt he was an incompetent lover. During this period, he had always been obsessed with the Hell Church. He wanted to rescue all the victims as much as possible, to the point that he did not have any free time.

Xia Yao noticed Yun Lintian's mood. She hugged him and said softly. "You don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault at all. Besides, it's not that we haven't been together for all this time. To be by your side every day is already the best gift that god gift me."

Yun Lintian paused his step, turning his body toward Xia Yao, and said with a serious expression. "After this… After we finish this mission. We will go back to our hometown. I'll open a fried rice stall, and you will be a lady boss."

Xia Yao looked at Yun Lintian tenderly and laughed slightly. "Look at how serious you are… Can you earn enough by selling a bowl of fried rice? You know, there are many bags and cosmetics I want recently."

Yun Lintian chuckled. "Trust your husband's culinary skill. I can definitely afford LV bags for you."

"I'll wait then." Xia Yao smiled amusingly.

Just as they were about to walk further, Xiao Kai's voice rang out in their earbuds. "Boss, it's time."

Yun Lintian and Xia Yao glanced at each other, and the surrounding atmosphere abruptly changed from a sweet couple to a pair of dangerous individuals. They quickly slipped through the crowd and disappeared into the end of the street.

"Finally, I can go back." In front of an old factory in a suburban area, a western-looking man threw a cigarette bud away and stretched his body lazily. Judging from his uniform, he should be a security guard.

Beside him was a middle-aged man clad in a security guard uniform. He tightly wrapped a windbreaker on his body and glanced around with puzzlement. "Why is it so cold today?" He turned to the younger man and said. "Can you tell them to hurry up? I'm about to become an ice sculpture now."

The younger man quickly pressed on a walkie-talkie and said. "Bob, where are you now? It's been five minutes into your shift now. You have to compensate me next time, you know?"

However, there was no response from the man named Bob. This made the man and the middle-aged man puzzled. Just as the man was about to contact Bob again, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck and lost consciousness right away.

Thud! Thud!

The bodies of the man and the middle-aged man fell down on the ground and were dragged away by a shadowy figure.

A while later, Yun Lintian and Xia Yao emerged from the dark corner. They exchanged a glance and slipped into a factory's back door.
