Chapter 427: Secretive
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
River of West Flor, Flor State
A steam yacht slowly travelled along the river. The bright and sweet voice of the tour guide lady could be heard, "Passengers... in one hour, we will reach the next famous tourist attraction, Flor Reservoir!! This is the first man-made reservoir in our Federation, it utilises 42 levels of steam valves to control the system, its water capacity..."
Fang Yuan laid on the recliners and enjoyed the views from both sides.
The river's sceneries were beautiful. Furthermore, fishes were abundant in the river.
From time to time, a few teenage girls excitedly screamed and took photos of the big fishes leaping from the waters.
"I'm right indeed! The spiritual aura of this gem is from this river stream... a certain spiritual energy node is underneath the waters?"
Fang Yuan pondered as he stroked the gem on the sceptre.
Beside him, Lucy had to dismally take up the role of a nanny as she took care of the clueless Angel.
Ever since the massacre that time, Angel did not know why she still stayed at Fang Yuan's side. Perhaps it was because she feared the troubles going back would bring about or it was because this "Lei" was too mysterious, which made her unknowingly curious.
Unnecessary curiosity usually led to the downfall of a woman!
"Sir, there's a situation!"
Suddenly, Lucy's face tensed up. A digital ringing noise rang from her body, she quickly hid in a corner to pick up the call and her expression changed even more as she listened.
"I received a request for aid, it was from Paul and Amun, the third in command! They are currently rushing towards us... But at the same time, the society has declared them to be traitors, any member who sees them must kill them immediately!"
"White Pigeon Society's third in command defected?"
Fang Yuan sipped his fruit juice and continued, "Didn't y'all White Pigeon Society say that you all were a peace-loving organisation? How come there are such ideological disputes?"
Those in the forefront leadership positions of a large organisation would have largely similar interests. As long as they were smart, they would maintain a competitive yet harmonious situation, unless they had fundamental differences and disagreements in ideologies.
"I don't know too..."
Lucy was at a lost.
This period of time where she was with Fang Yuan was her most unrestrained and liberated moments. At the same time, her beliefs in White Pigeon Society's original ideologies wavered too.
Lucy shook her head and tried to force herself to forget about all these thoughts. However, she then asked curiously, "Sir... should we save them?"
"Why should I save them?" Fang Yuan answered indifferently.
"They must have obtained some important intelligence! Or perhaps White Pigeon Society is planning to go against you?" Lucy tried to test the waters and asked.
"So what?"
Fang Yuan carefreely stood up and stretched, "Why would humans be bothered about the hostility of a few ants?"
"That's true too..."
Lucy pinched Angel's cheeks and smiled suddenly.
"With this powerful killing machine, even if the two society leaders from the black and white societies gathered, they would be killed..." This lass was too clueless, she did not know about the existence of separation materials.
Moments later, Fang Yuan looked towards the tail of the yacht and shook his head, "They're here!"
"Oh! Quick, look!"
"Evolvers!"
"Mutants!"
"They can fly!"
...
A ruckus erupted on the yacht soon enough. Numerous tourists who wished for even more chaos quickly whipped out their cameras and took photos of the silhouettes chasing after the tail of the yacht.
"Oh, they are crashing onto us, Lord!"
Lucy glanced towards the back and saw Paul controlling sand.
He ingeniously formed a speedboat with sand and was speedily escaping while chasing after the large yacht.
In the mid-air, there were three birdmen with wings that were repeatedly shooting their guns.
"Bang! Bang!"
Under the rain of bullets, Paul remained steadfast and suddenly pressed the bottom of his boat with both his hands.
"Huuu! Huuuu!"
Two large hands made out of sand extended and grabbed onto the yacht which was in front as Paul flipped aggressively.
"Zoom!"
Paul turned into a stream of black shadow at once, forming a beautiful arc as he was about to land on the deck of the yacht steadily.
Unfortunately, he sadly forgot about something, and that was Angel's presence.
Once he went past a certain boundary, his mighty sand hands crumbled immediately and turned into a rain of fine sand grains.
Paul let out a shriek as he fell from 10 plus metre above and landed on the floor. Although he had supernormal physical qualities, he was still badly smashed onto the floor and many of his bones broke.
"Paul..."
Lucy went forward nervously, "How did you become like this?"
"There's no time! I have something to tell Mister Lei immediately!"
Paul gave a bitter laughter and he replied, "Of course... most importantly, I must settle these pursuers chasing after me first..."
In actual fact, there was no need to settle them.
As they entered the boundary, one of the birdmen immediately lost its wings and screamed as he fell downwards.
Fortunately for that birdman, the two birdmen behind threw out their hooks in time and managed to save him from becoming a pile of minced meat.
After they confirmed the yacht, the three birdmen immediately turned around and flew back.
Without any protection suit, exposing oneself to Angel's special ability would be courting death!
The life of a mutant was extremely precious, how could they possibly throw their lives at such?
"What exactly is happening? Also... why did third elder, Amun, defect?"
Lucy was falling apart.
"Eh, just say!"
Fang Yuan waved his hand, "Don't worry about me!"
"No! I specially came to notify you all..."
Paul had mixed emotions as he continued, "Mister Lei... your immense power has already crossed the limits, it even drove those people from Federal Special Investigation Bureau and Black Man Society crazy. Also, your actions caused them to hasten the Demon Weapon Plan at all cost!"
"That mutant weapon thing?"
Fang Yuan was confused, "They want to quickly create it in order to deal with me?"
"Yes! Furthermore, they have already begun to undermine and disregard us mutants' human rights. They have already begun to conduct large amounts of human experimentation... No! Those aren't even considered experiments anymore, they are just using human lives to create the Demon Weapon!"
Paul broke down in tears and continued, "Even our White Pigeon Society's leader, Holy Light Charlie, has already silently consented to such practices! Elder Amun swore to stop it and fell out with him, thus, Elder Amun escaped!"
"..."
Fang Yuan remained silent for awhile and then suddenly asked, "Although the process is rather bloody and cruel, if the Demon Weapon could be created, the results might not be bad, so why are y'all opposed to it?"
"That's because you don't understand how horrifying the Demon Weapon is... It cannot be controlled at all, any means of controlling it was not created from the start! Such a monster created through this way would ultimately become a lunatic that destroys the world... Elder Amun is already rushing to the test site at Flor Reservoir to stop them, we can still rush over to them in time..."
"Wait a minute!"
Fang Yuan knocked his head, "Based on what you said, the place where that ultimate weapon would be created is at Flor Reservoir?"
If Fang Yuan's estimation was correct, that should be where a spiritual energy node was located too.
Looks like the abnormalities in the area were already discovered and utilised.
"What? You didn't know?"
Paul's mouth was agape in utter shock.
"What the? Did you know your actions have driven so many people mad? And yet you didn't know about this experimentation lab and test site?"
"So what exactly was the point for them to hasten the experimentations and thus willingly sacrifice the lives of mutants for it?"
"Okay, since this is already the case, tell me everything that has happened fully!" Fang Yuan was all ears.
Paul was like a lost soul and told Fang Yuan all the top secrets he knew.
The so-called Demon Weapon Plan actually had a long history, it could be traced to the start of the World War.
Due to the appearance of that Unkillable Witch, although she even obliterated an entire army, she was ultimately annihilated by a missile. However, she still attracted the attention of the high-levelled authorities in the Federation and thus they began to explore the possibility of a "Strongest Body Weapon".
Although Elder Extreme Darkness did die that time as she was bombed into dust, the timeline of her life was still dug out by the secret agents of the Federation. During the period of time when strange occurrences increased, all the activities she did and resources she collected became extremely valuable research data.
During the raid of the witch's lair, they even discovered some flesh compositions that were suspected to be from the witch's body. This made the Federation's scientists extremely overjoyed.
Hence, they specially chose Flor Reservoir's Federation laboratory to cultivate and clone it.
Whereas, the reason why they chose here?
According to Paul, it was because there was a special energy field underneath the reservoir. After altering it, it could tremendously accelerate the growth and maturity of living matter.
Furthermore, it brought about numerous benefits to experimentations regarding mutated bodies and strengthening of different special abilities. Thus, the laboratory was specially built due to this.
Based on Fang Yuan's views, these were the benefits brought about by the partial leakage of the node.
At this moment, the final "perfect body" had already reached the last stage of adjustments. Thus, this was an important reason why the test site could not be moved elsewhere.
"But... the big boss is Elder Extreme Darkness' corpse... this is really..." Fang Yuan thought.
Fang Yuan stroked his chin, "Then? Is the clone very strong?"
"No! Other than its strong restoration power, there's nothing worthy of mention!"
Paul gave a bitter laugh, "But, she has a very strange characteristic, that is her body's 'vessel' is very strong! It can devour and absorb all sorts of mutants' genes! Especially after finding another experimental body in the Federation with the special ability of 'replication', her powers have become even stronger! She can absorb almost every special ability and use them perfectly!"
"Thus, the Federation's scientists intend to use her as a carrier for all sorts of special abilities, creating an ultimate human weapon!"
"This is the so-called Demon Weapon Plan!"
...
"So that is what it is!"
Fang Yuan nodded his head, he finally understood everything.
"Is its acceptance tolerance very high?"
Normal people, including even 3rd Tier mutants, would have their genes collapse if they were injected with other special ability genes and forced to absorb their power.
Even the mutant with the special ability to replicate special abilities could only replicate one special ability. If it wanted to replicate other's special ability, it had to 'clear' the previous records first.
However, those like Fang Yuan and Elder Extreme Darkness had very high tolerance, they could totally absorb it.
