Chapter 259: Unreliable Researchers

The Base Director sensed something was wrong as soon as Number One entered the room.

However, he still believed Number One was reliable, even though he had been brainwashed numerous times. Nonetheless, when Number One killed Abel without any hesitation, he was totally taken by surprise.

Watching Abel’s body leaning onto the wall, and eventually falling down, the Base Director was dumbfounded, “Number One, what have you done? Are you out of your mind? I’m ordering you to get out now!”

Number One remained silent while taking a step toward the shocked Base Director.

He had already been brainwashed and remodeled by Bei Li, so of course, he wasn’t taking any orders from these goons anymore.

Looking at Number One getting closer and closer, the Base Director quickly opened the drawer and pressed the area’s alarm button in panic.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The sirens blared across the area all at once.

However, Number One was already so close by then that the defensive force of the base was unable to arrive in time.

It was then when Number One reached out his hands to choke the Base Director while raising him up bit by bit.

The Base Director started to struggle with all his strength. While he randomly hit his attacker’s arms, his face eventually reddened due to a lack of oxygen.

Crack!

As the veins were obviously shown on Number One’s arms, the neck of the Base Director was distorted. His struggling stopped.

Leaving the corpse of the Base Director behind, Number One was then at the entrance of the room. He opened the door with his hand.

Click-clack!

The sound of guns being loaded were heard.

The security guards were all gathered outside the room.

“Number One, hand over the director to us!” shouted the leader in full armor.

Seeing that, Number One took a step backward into the room and closed the door. Later, he let out a loud roar. The muscles all over his body then contracted and he slammed hard toward the wall at the side.

Bang!

The thick wall collapsed instantly under the impact.

The guards outside were surprised by that and aimed their guns at the dusty area.

Roar!

It was then that a blurry figure appeared from the scene and rushed toward them, indicating the beginning of a massacre.

Under such close distance circumstances, gunfire was shot at their comrades by accident. The guards couldn’t help but lower their guns and try to take down the frantic Number One with their daggers.

However, Number One was even stronger than before. The dagger couldn’t even cut through his tough skin.

It was as if Number One was now a killing machine. The murder fighting skills which he had been training for years could now be utilized as fully as he wished. He defeated the ten guards within seconds.

After getting rid of the blood on his arms, Number One turned around to look at the security camera on the corner of the wall with a ferocious smile on his face.

Looking at the screen in the security booth, the monitoring personnel worker was trembling inside while he quickly pressed the alarm button beside him. He grabbed the walkie talkie to contact the Deputy Base Director.

“Director Li, Number One has mutinied! Number One mutinied! The director has been killed! We need backup!”

“What? The director is dead?” Deputy Director Li, who was checking the recent human experiment data at the database, couldn’t believe it.

He quickly turned around and rushed toward the laboratory. Meanwhile, he ordered the monitoring personnel at the base to allocate all the defensive forces of the base to stop Number One.

He participated in the remodeling of Number One by himself, so he knew how destructive Number One was. It was not an exaggeration to call him a human tank. The thought of the great sabotage that would be brought by the out-of-control Number One filled him with dread.

Since they had created Number One, for sure they had something as a backup defense. There was a remote control in the laboratory which could be used by him to control the self-destruct bomb chip planted inside Number One’s brain.

Although he didn’t know whether Number One could be under control, he had to be fully prepared. If Number One, who had lost control and couldn’t be stopped, then all he could do was to destroy this weapon from the inside.

Followed by the blaring of the alarms at the base, all the personnel gathered rapidly and dashed toward Number One’s whereabouts under the instruction of the monitoring personnel.

In the meantime, Number One was walking toward the main control room of the base.

His main objective was to demolish this base and there was a self-explosive system that could be triggered from the main control room. Once the system was activated, this base would be completely ruined.

This system was originally made to destroy the proof of the existence of this base when it was found, but Number One thought that it might be put to good use.

“Number One!”

It was then that a figure darted from the side and leaped toward him with a whip struck right at his forehead, causing him to take a step back subconsciously.

“Die!”

The figure got close as soon as it landed, stabbing Number One’s neck with an elbow knife.

Even so, Number One was expressionless. He swung his left arm forward to hold onto the figure’s elbow. Then by using his right arm, he locked the figure’s neck and pressed it down forcefully while his knee hit upward mercilessly right at the person’s chin.

This action was ruthless and the figure couldn’t help but take a few steps backward, looking dazed.

“Number Three… why do you always think that you’re stronger than me?” gazing at the other figure, Number One let out a laugh.

Once Number Three had regained his composure, he felt his vision was covered by a shadow while a buzzing sound bombarded his ears.

“How is this possible? They’ve always said that my value was higher than yours! I was remodeled based on your basic features, so I should be even stronger than you!” shaking his head, Number Three reached for the wall while staring unbelievably at Number One who was laughing ferociously in front of him.

Number One was so strange to him now.

They had been on missions numerous times, so he understood very well about his capability. However, from the fight just now, he felt Number One had transformed greatly. Neither his strength nor his conditioned reflexes were at the same level.

“Number One, stop it now! You’ve totally lost control but it’s still not too late to stop now… they won’t kill you. You know how valuable you are!” Number Three advised him immediately, realizing he was no match for Number One.

Number One sneered suddenly and then he strode toward Number Three. The muscles on both his arms started to contract, showing lines of veins.

“Number One… do you really want to kill me?” begged Number Three as his pupils shrunk.

“Everyone in the base… of course, you are included!”

As Number One was saying so, he sprinted forward while swinging a curve with his right arm, smashing his fist onto Number Three’s face, banging half of his head into the wall.

After taking his arm away, Number One continued striding toward the main control room with a blank look on his face.

On his way there, Number One passed by the reference room, the specimen storage room, and finally found the door to the main control room.

As soon as his figure appeared, the security guards who had gathered outside the main control room earlier all fired at once. Rain of bullets suddenly shot at him, leaving the wall behind him in holes.

However, the guards were terrified because the bullets that fell onto Number One were only able to slightly bruise his skin, demotivating them to move forward.

“Change into X bullets!” the leader shouted in rage.

They originally planned to encounter Number One with normal bullets only as the powerful X bullets might shoot precious Number One to death. However, he didn’t care about this anymore as his primary responsibility was to protect the base, without any mishaps.

It was then when Number One suddenly went on a rampage and bolted at them.

“Alpha Team One, go on with melee while the others start changing bullets!”

Along with the order from the leader of the security personnel, the security guards from team one took out their daggers which were hidden beneath their legs and darted toward Number One.

On the contrary, Number One needed no weapon. He was beyond powerful with only his muscles, knocking down all the security guards in the first row within seconds.

This was a truly shocking scene to behold by all the security personnel. Luckily, they had successfully changed bullets, so they aimed at Number One once again.

“Wait!” a man screamed from behind the security personnel.

“Director Li, get out of here now! Number One has gone on a rampage!”

Noticing the person approaching, the leader of the security personnel quickly blocked him, preventing him from rushing forward abruptly.

Director Li ignored the guard and raised up the remote control in his hand instead and yelled, “Stop now, Number One!”

After throwing away a corpse in his hand, Number One turned around to stare at Director Li in mockery.

“Number One, once I press this button, the self-destruct bomb chip in your brain will explode. I’m ordering you to go and lock yourself up in the Jail of Experiment!” Director Li ordered strictly while swaying the remote control in his hand, threatening Number One boldly.

Number One stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on his lips, the ferocious look was shown on his face once again.

While Director Li was still in great surprise, Number One suddenly lunged forward.

Looking at Director Li who was obviously still stunned, the leader of the security personnel grabbed the remote control in his hand and pressed it immediately.

Number One was totally out of control by then. Since his responsibility was to defend the base, he didn’t waste any second in hesitation. Even if he would be punished after this, we would accept the punishment anyway.

However, their imagination of Number One’s brain explosion did not come true. As the leader of the guards was still in great shock, a sturdy arm swung before him and got a hold onto Director Li’s head.

Burst!

Director Li’s head was squeezed by great force until it exploded. The blood got all over the guard’s face.

They were all utterly startled.

Looking at the fist which was getting increasingly bigger before him, he had only one thought in his mind.

These researchers were really unreliable. They once promised that the specimen would never betray them even if they had lost control and even if the self-explosion chip wasn’t working.

I’m so dead!
