Chapter 457: Emotional Exchange with Miss Chen (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was no emotion in Mr. X’s voice, and no one could guess what he was thinking. “How’s it going at Cangluan Mountain?”
This time, it was no longer a mercenary who answered the question. Instead, it was a very shrewd-looking man in a black suit. “Mr. X, according to the information we have now, after the ancient tomb of Cangluan Mountain was blown up, a large area of the mountain collapsed. It seemed that some important people had been buried. The entire search and rescue team in China was almost gathered. It was as if they had gone crazy and had been carrying out high-intensity search and rescue. However, we can’t confirm who the target of the search and rescue is at the moment.”
Hearing this, Mr. X paused for a moment before nodding gently. “Very good.
Next, let’s proceed according to the plan. The ‘gene evolution’ project can be activated!”
“Yes!”
They were especially excited when they heard this, as if they were very sensitive to the word ‘gene evolution’. At this moment, they stood up and said in unison.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the screen disappeared. They left the meeting room without saying a word. The lights in the corridor also dimmed one by one. The researchers quickly began to study the Chi You’s Bone, and these were all in Mr. X’s plan.
From the beginning, their target was not the ancient tomb of the Cangluan Mountain. It was just a bait they had released.
However, Divine Gun who had died in this operation was unaware of this. The order he had received was to organize a group of mercenaries and enter the ancient tomb of Cangluan Mountain at all costs to take away Chi You’s Bone.
Being chosen by Mr. X, Divine Gun felt that he was valued, so he did his best in the operation. However, even until his death, he did not know that he was only a chess piece, and a dead chess piece at that.
Actually, as long as Divine Gun thought about it, he should have felt that something was wrong.
After all, they were an overseas secret organization that controlled a large number of armed personnel and white-robed people, and they also had their own military base. Yet in this operation, they were asked to recruit other mercenaries with a lot of money to carry out the mission. It was completely unnecessary.
Unfortunately, Divine Gun no longer had the chance to think of this.
The core team had long rushed to the Cangxue Mountain when Divine Gun led the mercenaries to confront Su Yun. Therefore, blowing up Cangluan Mountain was part of the plan. They were only targets to attract the attention of the east.
Of course, it would be even better if he could obtain Chi You’s corpse from the Cangluan Mountain. It would increase the success rate of genetic research.
However, if he could not obtain it, he naturally could not let others obtain it.
Clearly, Mr. X’s plan had succeeded. However, the only thing that exceeded his expectations was that the Golden Bone of Chi You on Cangluan Mountain had not been destroyed. Instead, it had been successfully brought out with Su Yun’s help.
This was unexpected and disrupted Mr. X’s overall plan, causing the plan to only be half completed. No matter what, he had obtained a portion of Chi You’s bones. Then, the genetic project he mentioned could finally be officially activated after mastering a portion of Chi You’s bones!
The entire overseas research institute and many laboratories fell into an excited frenzy. Everyone fought through the night, looking forward to the day when the genetic project would be successful.
This would definitely set off a genetic revolution that would shake the entire world. It would even reshuffle the global order.
However, the most important thing for Feng Shaoyu and the others now was not to investigate the current movements of the overseas forces. Instead, they would do his best to find the buried Su Yun at all costs!
After an unknown period of time, Su Yun opened his eyes in a daze. As there was no day and night here, his vision was still pitch-black. He seemed to have suddenly sensed something and looked to her side in confusion.
The next second, Su Yun jumped in fright. He saw Chen Jie curled up and sticking close to Su Yun. After night fell, the temperature plummeted. Coupled with the fact that the two of them were asleep, they naturally felt cold.
Chen Jie also instinctively approached Su Yun in her unconscious state after falling asleep. She even stuck close to him, just to instinctively warm herself. However, this was the first time Su Yun had seen Chen Jie like this. Perhaps because of the cold, Chen Jie still frowned slightly when she fell asleep. Her pink lips were crystal clear as she exhaled a warm breath. When it hit Su Yun, she no longer had her usual mature temperament. Instead, she looked more like a little girl.
Su Yun smiled helplessly before gently covering Chen Jie with the clothes he was wearing. But Chen Jie suddenly opened her eyes. This time, the two of them were stunned.
“Ahem…” Su Yun coughed dryly before walking out of the tent.
Chen Jie got up and looked at the clothes covering her body. She roughly understood what had happened just now. When she walked out of the tent, she happened to see Su Yun place a piece of wood on a rock not far away.
Following that, Su Yun held the wooden saber and walked a little further away. Then, he slowly raised the wooden saber in his hand and slashed in the air. The wood remained standing on the stone without any change. Su Yun’s face also revealed some thought.
Soon, Su Yun began to repeat his previous actions. He slashed again and again, making Chen Jie feel puzzled..
