Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

"It's the Sharp Blade Squad. They're here really fast." Lin Shen frowned and immediately activated Illusion Weaving. Dozens of fake figures instantly appeared on the surrounding streets to distract them.

"Don't linger, let's go." Xu Suyuan called out, and the six of them ran towards the alley under the cover of the illusion.

"Stop! Don't run!" Yue Sheng shouted from the armored vehicle, firing his gun at the group. The bullets hit the wall behind him, sending sparks flying.

Shen Qinghou flicked his wrist, and three strings flew out. The sharp sound waves shattered the windshield of the armored vehicle. The driver screamed, the steering wheel veered sharply to the side, and the armored vehicle crashed into a roadside utility pole.

An arc of electricity shot out from Liu Zhen's palm, striking the transformer next to him. The transformer exploded with a "bang," and all the lights on the street went out at the same time, plunging the entire street into darkness.

Under the cover of darkness, the group quickly slipped into the alley, and by the time Yue Sheng and his men rushed over, they had already vanished.

"Damn it, they got away again!" Yue Sheng kicked the telephone pole hard in anger, his fist clenched so tightly it cracked.

A teammate walked over, holding a human head sealed in a block of cement. It was Yan Tingyao's head: "Team Leader Yue, this is the only head we found at the scene, along with the bodies of twelve members of the Red Wolf Squad, all sealed in cement. The core leadership of the Five Mountains Society's Lieyang Branch is all dead."

Yue Sheng looked at Yan Tingyao's lifeless face, his expression so dark it could drip water: "Report to the General Headquarters immediately, saying that the Lieyang Branch of the Five Mountains Society has been destroyed by superhumans, and six superhumans are on the run. Request a nationwide manhunt."

Meanwhile, the six had already returned to the abandoned biological agent plant.

Shen Hanzhou sat at the lab bench, opened the file bag, inside were Shen Yanhui's experimental records, as well as all the evidence of collusion between the Five Mountains Society and the authorities.

He took out Shen Yanhui's photo, placed it next to the experimental records, and gently stroked the smiling face in the photo with his fingertips.

"Senior sister, revenge has been taken." Shen Hanzhou's voice was very soft, but it carried a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Xu Suyuan walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder: "Next, we should think about how to deal with the Five Mountains Society headquarters. They won't let this go easily, and they will definitely send more people over."

Shen Hanzhou raised his head and looked at his five companions, a determined look appearing in his eyes for the first time.

He is not alone anymore.

No matter how many dangers lie ahead, they will face them together.

The sky outside the window was already turning a pale white, and the morning light shone through the gaps in the ivy, falling on the six people, warm and bright.

The sky over Lieyang Province finally brightened.

------

In the morning light of the abandoned biological agent factory, six people sat around an old wooden table, on which lay documents that had just been retrieved from Yan Tingyao's secret room.

The topmost page of Shen Yanhui's experimental record was lifted by the wind, revealing a small sun doodle she had drawn on the edge of the page before her death.

Shen Hanzhou ran his fingertips over the graffiti, the calluses on his fingertips brushing against the paper, leaving very faint traces.

He hadn't felt this at ease in a long time. Ever since the day Shen Yanhui died, his world had been nothing but endless pursuit and revenge.

Now that his great revenge has been achieved, and he has five more companions by his side whom he can rely on, the huge weight on his heart has finally been lifted.

"This evidence is enough to expose the entire protective umbrella of the Five Mountains Society in Lieyang Province." Meng Zhaowen pushed up his glasses, his fingertip pointing to the densely packed official signatures and bank transfer records in the document:

"Organize this and send it to the National Bureau of Abnormalities. Once these things are in their hands, they'll be enough to give those corrupt officials a hard time."

Liu Zhen propped his feet on the edge of the table, twirling a small ball of electricity crackling in his palm. He scoffed at the comment, "Even if the General Administration wanted to make a move, there are people above them holding them back. Didn't Wang Hongyuan's case just fizzle out in the end? None of these officials are reliable."

"Whether it's reliable or not, we have to try." Xu Suyuan spun the coin rapidly between her fingers, the cold light from its edge casting shimmering spots of light on the wall. "Even if we can't bring down the big ones, if we can bring down a few small ones and prevent a few people from being harmed, it won't be a waste of this evidence."

Lin Shen leaned against the lab bench next to him, his fingers flying across the keyboard of the portable workstation, lines of code scrolling rapidly across the screen.

He looked up and waved the screen at the group: "No need for that. I've already anonymously sent this evidence to all provincial media outlets and government information disclosure platforms. It's circulating all over the internet now. Even if someone tries to suppress it, they can't."

Shen Qinghou sat in front of the old piano in the corner, his fingertips plucking at three broken strings. Hearing this, he looked up and gave Lin Shen a thumbs up.

Although he couldn't hear, he could read lips and knew that these people were seeking justice for those who had been murdered.

As the group chatted and laughed, the sound of a car engine shutting off came from outside the factory.

Jiang Yubai pushed open the door carrying two large bags of breakfast. The soy milk in the plastic bags was still steaming. "I just bought these in town: soy milk and fried dough sticks, and the steamed buns you wanted. When I came over just now, I saw that there were three times more patrol cars on the road than usual. I guess the matter between the Five Mountains Society and Xiong Bei has escalated, and the authorities are searching for people."

"Searching won't help." Liu Zhen stood up, took the bag, pulled out a meat bun, and took a big bite. "They can't even find a trace of us. We can't exactly turn the entire eastern suburbs upside down."

Several people sat together eating breakfast. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the ivy and fell on the table, turning the steam from the soy milk a pale gold color.

Shen Hanzhou took a sip of hot soy milk. The scalding temperature slid down his throat into his stomach, making him feel relaxed all over.

This was the first time in a long time that he had such a peaceful breakfast.

At this moment, the entire underground world of Lieyang Province has been completely turned upside down.

The three major criminal gangs that had been entrenched in the province for ten years—Chiji, the Lieyang branch of the Wuyue Society, and the Lieyang branch of Xiongbei—were successively destroyed within a month.

Jiang Yi was sealed in the cement of the slaughterhouse, Yan Tingyao's head was thrown at the entrance of the branch building, and Lu Chen's body was nailed to the wall of Xiongbei headquarters.

All strongholds were wiped out, account funds were transferred out, and armories were emptied. The remaining henchmen scattered like monkeys falling from a tree; those who were slow to run were either caught by the authorities or simply quit.

The underworld bosses were all living in fear, none of them knowing if they would be next.

No one dared to provoke those "people with special abilities" anymore. In fact, many desperate people began to inquire about how to meet those "superhumans" in hopes of obtaining a seed that could defy fate.

The name "Fire Seed" has become the most feared and most coveted name in the underworld of Lieyang Province.

The pressure on the authorities is also increasing.
