Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

"I do hope she comes soon. Qin Yan died at her hands, and she destroyed our stronghold in Shannan Province. I have to settle this score with her."

He turned around and looked at Zhou Xiong, the tactical commander.

"How's the deployment of the 'Black Ring II' suppressor going?"

Zhou Xiong immediately stood at attention and answered.

"All twenty 'Black Ring II' units have been deployed around the Alpha Industrial Park, effectively suppressing the entire park. Once she enters the range, her mental strength will be suppressed to the level of a normal person. At that time, she will just be an ordinary person with a bit more strength, and any one of our tactical team members can capture her alive."

"very good."

A sinister smile crept across Andrei's face.

"Pass down the order: all tactical team members, stand by. Once the target's location is locked, move out immediately. Remember, I want her alive. Her research value surpasses that of the entire Alpha Industrial Park."

"Yes."

Everyone in the command room responded in unison.

No one doubted that their defenses would have problems.

Twenty state-of-the-art mind suppressors, hundreds of professionally trained tactical team members, and covert support from the military.

Let alone one Awakened One, even ten of them would be unable to escape.

------

Li Su was unaware that her target had already laid a trap.

She drove the stolen military jeep for more than three hours on the desert highway.

The fuel gauge needle has dropped to halfway down.

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

It was still an endless gray-brown wasteland, still thick snow, and still a gray highway that seemed to stretch on forever.

It was completely dark.

There was no moon, and no stars.

Only the two beams of light from the front of the car tore through the darkness, illuminating the road surface a dozen meters ahead.

The wind is getting stronger.

The howling north wind swirled snowflakes, which pelted against the windshield, making a soft "pattering" sound.

Li Su turned the heater on a little.

It wasn't because she was cold.

A thin layer of ice had formed on the windshield, obstructing visibility.

Her eyes were fixed on the road ahead, her mental energy constantly projected outwards, covering a radius of several kilometers.

She could sense the occasional heartbeat of a wild beast in the distance.

It can sense the movement of birds flapping their wings in the sky.

They could sense that the abandoned village several kilometers away was completely deserted.

It was very quiet around.

Apart from the sound of the wind and the roar of the engine, there was no other sound.

Until her mental energy touched a dilapidated road sign by the roadside.

The road sign was crooked, and most of the paint had peeled off, but you could vaguely make out a few Hokuhara characters.

Li Su slowed down and parked the car next to the road sign.

She opened the car door and walked to the road sign.

The road sign had three place names on it.

One hundred and twenty kilometers ahead is Blackstone Town.

Eighty kilometers to the left is the Honghong Farm.

Sixty kilometers to the right is Mining Camp No. 7.

Li Su's gaze fell on the words "Mining Camp No. 7".

She remembered that this place was mentioned in the documents seized at the Black Falcon base.

Alpha Biotech often buys blood samples from miners at mining camps for genetic research, and even directly captures sick miners to conduct human experiments.

Many miners contracted a strange disease, which was eventually diagnosed as "pneumoconiosis," and they were left to die in the small hospital in the camp.

She stood in front of the road sign and remained silent for a few seconds.

The map shows that the shortest route from here to Alpha Industrial Park is via the road through Blackstone Town, which is only about 400 kilometers.

If you go through the No. 7 mining camp, you'll have to take a detour of more than 200 kilometers.

The wind made her trench coat flutter loudly.

Li Su turned around and glanced at the fork in the road on the right.

The road was narrower, the snow was thicker, and it looked like no cars had driven on it for a long time.

She did not hesitate.

He turned back to the car, turned the steering wheel, and the jeep turned onto the road leading to the No. 7 mining camp.

The wheels rolled over deeper snow, and the car slowed down.

Li Su's face was expressionless.

She must avenge herself.

But those miners who were used as experimental materials should not have died in vain.

Anyway, Alpha's people are already waiting for her in the capital region.

Arriving a few hours late makes no difference.

This road is indeed difficult to travel.

The road surface was full of potholes, and in many places the snow had frozen into ice, making it easy for cars to slip.

Li Su reduced the car speed to the slowest possible setting and used her mental energy to firmly lock the car body in place, preventing it from skidding and overturning into the ditch by the roadside.

After walking less than 30 kilometers, the road ahead was blocked by a barbed wire fence.

The barbed wire fence was very high, with signs that read "No Entry" and warnings that "Beware of Violent Dogs."

Behind the barbed wire fence were two rows of low bungalows, with wisps of black smoke rising from their rooftops.

This is the No. 7 mining camp.

Li Su parked the car outside the barbed wire fence and turned off the engine.

She pushed open the car door and walked to the barbed wire fence.

The wire mesh was electrified, and a faint electrical hum could be heard.

Li Su raised her hand and pressed it against the barbed wire.

The telekinetic energy spread along the barbed wire and instantly located the power source.

"Click."

A burst of sparks shot out from a distant utility pole.

The current to the wire mesh was cut off.

She grabbed the barbed wire and gave it a gentle tug.

The thick wire was torn apart like noodles, revealing a gap large enough for a jeep to pass through.

Li Su returned to her car and drove it inside.

The campsite was small.

There were only a dozen or so single-story houses in total, most of which were dark except for the office in the very center, where a faint light shone from the window of the small hospital next door.

Li Su parked the car in the open space in the center of the camp and got out.

She had just gotten out of the car when she heard a dog barking.

Two large wolfhounds rushed out of the darkness, barking wildly at her, their teeth gleaming coldly.

Li Su did not move.

She just stared coldly at the two dogs.

An invisible force of thought pressed down upon them.

The barking of the two wolfhounds stopped abruptly.

They tucked their tails between their legs, trembling all over, lying on the ground, too afraid to move, whimpering in their throats.

Li Su walked past them.

I went straight to the office with the lights on.

The office door was unlocked.

She pushed open the door and went inside.

There were three men inside, drinking around a table.

On the table were peanuts, braised dishes, and several empty bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

All three were wearing security guard uniforms, with rubber batons hanging from their waists, and their faces were flushed from drinking.

When they saw Li Su come in, all three of them were stunned for a moment.

One of the men, a man with a thick beard, reacted the fastest, slamming his hand on the table and standing up.

"Who are you? Who let you in?"

Li Su did not answer his question.

Her gaze swept over the furnishings in the office.

A map of the campsite was hanging on the wall, and an attendance book and a stack of medical records were on the table.

On the innermost cabinet, there was a silver safe.

Who is in charge here?

Li Su's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.

The bearded man sized her up and down, and when he saw that she was an Asian woman, a lewd smile appeared on his face.
