Gao Wu: From a poor man in the outer city to a martial saint of the ten directions

As for the others at the scene, they weren't so lucky.

Most of them fell into a deep coma, motionless, so weak that even the rise and fall of their chests had almost disappeared.

Fortunately, they were all still breathing, and there seemed to be no private individuals among them.

At this moment, the bearded man struggled to raise his head and saw Wei Xiu resting with his eyes closed in the corner. A complex look flashed in his bloodshot eyes.

This kid actually made it through before me?

After a moment of silence, he raised his hand, gave Wei Xiu a thumbs-up, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Young man...you're ruthless! I'm impressed!"

Wei Xiu opened his eyes and nodded slightly in response.

Just then, Xia An's voice rang out again from outside the glass wall.

"Everyone, now that you've all rested enough, I'd like to ask you to do something for me."

"Move all those who haven't woken up yet to the left corner."

Upon hearing this, the four people who had awakened inside the glass wall looked at each other in bewilderment.

What does this mean? Are you helping to cover up the crime?

But since I was taking their money, I had no choice but to comply.

Wei Xiu was the first to get up, walk towards the nearest unconscious man, bend down, grab his arm, and drag him to the left corner.

However, just as they were putting the person down...

"Thump."

A faint, hollow echo, distinctly different from the solid ground, reached Wei Xiu's ears!

Wei Xiu paused in his steps.

Is the ground... hollow underneath? Or is there another layer?

Without making a fuss, but after becoming more cautious, Wei Xiu continued moving things as if nothing had happened.

Soon, all the unconscious people were piled up in the left corner.

And just as the last person was being put down...

"Buzz!"

A low, mechanical hum suddenly came from underground!

To everyone's horror, the ground piled with unconscious people began to slowly sink!

A hidden elevator platform, carrying those whose fates were unknown, sank deeper underground!

"stop!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out!

Among the three awakened individuals, a bald, burly man suddenly rushed forward and slammed his palm into the glass in front of Xia An, his eyes nearly shattering!

"Where are you taking them?! My brother is still inside!"

Xia An looked at the bald man indifferently, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

"Don't worry, he's just been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Our Anlei Group has always been very humane."

At this point, her gaze swept over the remaining four people inside the glass wall once more.

"Instead of worrying about others, I advise you to worry about yourselves first."

"Congratulations everyone. Although you just experienced the side effects of the medication, you all pulled through and your bodies have been greatly strengthened."

"So next..."

As she finished speaking, she raised her right hand and opened a transparent protective cover on the control panel.

Those slender fingers landed on the red button inside.

"The second phase of the drug trial has now begun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia An pressed the button!

"Boom!!!"

The entire underground space trembled violently at that moment!

Inside the glass wall, the four cold operating tables simultaneously sank and disappeared!

In the very center of the ground, a huge crack appeared!

A giant iron cage, measuring three meters square and made entirely of heavy alloy, slowly rose from the ground!

But after seeing what was inside the iron cage...

The expressions of the group, including Wei Xiu, changed instantly, their eyes filled with shock!

Because inside this alloy cage was a bear with scarlet fur all over its body, filling the three-meter square cage to the brim!

After the cataclysm, although the creatures near the rift also mutated, none of them ever experienced this level of mutation.

This is a genuine, damn monster!

These lunatics in the black market actually managed to bring a strange beast into the inner city?!

"Hoo... Roar!!!"

With a deafening roar, the giant bear lunged forward, its two massive paws, each the size of a car, slamming hard against the iron cage!

"Bang!!!"

The alloy railing suddenly exploded with a loud bang, seemingly on the verge of shattering!

"A beast? This is a beast?!"

The bearded man was so startled that he staggered back, his teeth chattering!

"Are you fucking insane! You want to use living people to test on alien beasts?!"

The other two were so frightened that their legs went weak!

Although they were all desperate criminals who had lived on the edge of death for years, they were still human beings!

Faced with a living beast, let alone these quasi-martial artists, even martial artists dare not be careless!

Outside the glass, the older tester seemed surprised that Xia An would release this thing, and immediately panicked!

"Director Xia! Isn't this too risky?!"

"Although this Ironback Berserker Bear is still a bit short of human-level, even a formal martial artist would have a hard time dealing with it! It would take several quasi-martial artists working together to barely kill it!"

"But now there are only four people left inside! And they've just experienced the side effects of the medication; their bodies haven't recovered yet!"

"Not to mention number three. I just looked him up by name, and he's just a high school student. He's not even a quasi-martial artist!"

"This, this is simply..."

"What is it?" Xia An interrupted him coldly.

"If Abyss Boiling Blood No. 3 is truly effective, then it can allow the user to unleash combat power far exceeding their usual strength in desperate situations."

"Besides, if all else fails, we can just use electronic shackles to retrieve the alien beast."

With a wave of her hand, Xia An interrupted the few people who wanted to speak. She bent down, grasped the microphone, and looked at the people inside the wall again.

"Everyone, the second phase of the test is very simple."

"The electronic shackles on this ironback bear will be deactivated in ten seconds."

"Your mission is to survive its attacks as long as possible."

"Don't worry, if there is any danger to life, we will initiate the recovery process."

What the hell? So they're going to unleash this thing and fight us directly?!

Is this guy really not just trying to kill me with a monster and not pay me because I'm still alive?!

The bearded man and his companions stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, as if trying to say something.

But before they could even speak, the red light on the iron cage began flashing wildly!

"Beep beep beep!!!"

The three men with the big beard turned pale and instinctively tried to back away, but there was another glass wall behind them!

Even a low-level beast like this is beyond my current capabilities to handle!

However, this contrasts sharply with the terror of the three individuals.

Wei Xiu, who had been standing not far away from the side from the beginning, took off his sunglasses, and his eyes gradually became playful.

"So, this is the strange beast?"

"Interesting, this is truly the first time I've ever seen a live one!"

Looking at the giant bear inside, roaring and thrashing wildly, Wei Xiu slowly clenched his fist under his sleeve.

Having already become a quasi-martial artist, am I now qualified to even touch this thing?!
