"Click—hiss—"

The "Xuanwu-1" deep-sea submersible and the decompression airlock of the secret underwater base hidden behind the wreckage—the Buzhou Mountain Fortress—completed a precise and hardcore docking.

The heavy alloy hatches slid open slowly to both sides.

A thick, foul odor, a mixture of strong blood, pungent disinfectant, and a nauseating putrid smell, instantly assaulted my senses.

Jiang Han stepped out of the cabin.

Military boots clattered dully as they stepped onto the steel deck stained with sticky blood.

The entire buffer zone at the entrance of Buzhou Mountain Fortress has now become an extremely oppressive hellish battlefield hospital.

The passageway was littered with wounded people lying haphazardly on both sides.

Everywhere there were severed limbs and cries of agony.

What's even more chilling is that many soldiers have already been infected with the high-dimensional virus.

Under their skin bulged fist-sized growths, and bluish-black blood vessels crawled across their faces like earthworms.

To prevent them from biting people after they become completely deformed, these soldiers were tightly bound to steel hospital beds with high-strength physical restraints.

They had mouth guards stuffed in their mouths, and their throats emitted inhuman, beastly roars. Their eyes rolled back as they struggled desperately.

"Hold him down! Hold him down now! Double the sedative!"

Several military medics, covered in blood and wearing heavy protective suits, desperately pressed down on a soldier who was undergoing a mutation.

Jiang Han watched all of this with a cold eye.

The murderous intent in his heart boiled in his veins as if it were a tangible substance.

"Jiang...Jiang Shen?!"

At the end of the passage, Wang Jianguo, the supreme commander of Buzhou Mountain Fortress, rushed over with a squad of fully armed guards.

When Wang Jianguo saw Jiang Han emerge from the submersible, he froze on the spot, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

At this moment, Jiang Han's Void Armor had faded away like water, shrinking into his skin.

He was wearing only a thin black combat uniform!

Keep in mind that this is a frigid fortress more than a thousand meters deep in the ocean, where the ambient temperature remains at tens of degrees below zero all year round!

Even soldiers wearing the highest-grade extreme cold-weather gear will develop severe frostbite if they stay here for too long.

But Jiang Han's skin not only lacked any redness from frostbite, but even his breathing was so steady that it was unlike that of a human!

He stood there, seemingly one with the extreme cold of this hellish place.

The stark contrast between this inhuman divinity and extreme coldness instilled a deep sense of awe and fear in the souls of all the soldiers who witnessed it.

Wang Jianguo stammered, his lips trembling:

"Jiang... God Jiang, your... your body..."

"Not wearing protective clothing...you'll...you'll get infected..."

Jiang Han didn't even look at him directly, her tone so cold it felt like ice shards could fall from it:

"Lead the way. Command room."

"Switch all the real-time monitoring of the 'Deep Blue' fortress ruins to me."

His voice wasn't loud.

But within this noisy, wailing medical ward, there exists a terrifying magic that allows words to become law.

moment.

The entire medical area fell silent.

Even the infected soldiers who were struggling frantically stopped roaring and huddled trembling on their sickbeds under the oppressive aura of the pure-blooded Qilin.

Wang Jianguo wanted to say some polite words or express his concern about the situation at the front.

But when he met Jiang Han's cold, dark golden eyes...

He felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly.

All the words were swallowed back down instantly.

He got it.

In front of this man, any nonsense is a desecration of efficiency.

"Yes, Master Jiang! This way, please!"

Wang Jianguo suddenly stood at attention and gave a perfectly standard military salute.

The group walked through the oppressive steel corridor.

Along the way, all the soldiers and officers who saw Jiang Han instinctively stood against the wall, saluting and watching him.

Their eyes held a mixture of fanatical worship of a savior and extreme fear of a demon.

Jiang Han's steps were neither hurried nor slow.

Every step he took felt like stepping on the hearts of these mortals.

"drop--"

The highest-level access door to the command center was opened.

Inside the massive circular command center, red alarm lights flashed incessantly.

On the central holographic projection platform, a perspective scan of the "Deep Blue" fortress ruins is being displayed.

"Jiang Shen, this is the final scan image that we obtained at the cost of the lives of hundreds of reconnaissance soldiers."

Wang Jianguo pointed at the holographic projection, his voice hoarse and his eyes red.

In the holographic image.

Countless pale tentacles, as thick as fleshy buds, are coiled on the ruins of the "Deep Blue" fortress.

They intertwine and stitch together, forming a huge, heart-like, constantly beating nest of flesh and blood.

The nest's roots have penetrated deep into the miniature nuclear reactor of the Deep Blue Fortress.

The monster is using human nuclear energy as its incubation power!

"Enlarge the central area."

Jiang Han braced his hands on the edge of the tactical table, his gaze fixed on the throbbing tumor.

"yes!"

The operator immediately switched to the highest precision setting.

The image penetrates through layers upon layers of gruesome flesh and blood.

at last.

At the very core of the lair, a transparent bio-force field shield emitting a ghostly blue light was revealed.

When the scene inside that shield was clearly projected into mid-air.

A collective gasp of shock filled the entire command center!

"Clatter!"

Wang Jianguo slammed the tactical tablet in his hand to the ground.

Inside the shield.

A naked boy floats silently in a dark blue liquid with his eyes closed.

His black hair was loose, his face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly, and a strange dark red energy flowed beneath his pale skin.

This body is so perfect that it's like a work of art sculpted by the gods themselves.

However, what terrified everyone was...

The boy's face on the screen.

And the face of Jiang Han standing in front of the tactical platform at this moment.

Exactly the same!!!

They're exactly the same!

"What... what's going on...?"

"Jiang Shen...he...he is..."

The surrounding officers were so frightened that they retreated one after another, and the way they looked at Jiang Han had completely changed.

That's the look you give a monster.

They even suspected that Jiang Han was an accomplice of the monster that destroyed the Deep Blue Fortress!

An extreme identity crisis and a collapse of trust are spreading wildly within the command center.

however.

Under the astonished and uncertain gaze of everyone.

Jiang Han was not shocked.

There was no anger.

There was no panic or attempt to prove his innocence whatsoever.

Instead, the corners of his mouth slowly curled upwards, revealing a cold, cruel, and even slightly morbidly excited smile.

"That old madman Xu Fu."

"It seems you did indeed manage to revive the piece of meat in the cauldron of the Qin Dynasty's underground palace."

Jiang Han straightened up.

He extended his long, strong fingers and gently touched the holographic projection, on the cheek that was identical to his own.

Whisper in a voice only you can hear.

It was as if they were greeting an old friend they hadn't seen in a long time.

"Found you..."

"My 'failure'"

"This time, I will personally crush your bones inch by inch."

The moment Jiang Han whispered those words.

On the holographic screen.

The clone that always had its eyes closed and floated like a corpse.

My eyelids suddenly trembled violently!

next second.

He suddenly opened his eyes!

Those were dark golden pupils, exactly like Jiang Han's!

But those eyes lacked Jiang Han's arrogance and coldness.

some.

It was simply an endless hatred and destructive intent towards the original being, transcending dimensions!

A death stare that transcends space.

At that moment, they collided with a deafening roar!
