In the past, when encountering such isomers, the team members would go first to try to suppress them and attract their attention, creating opportunities for subsequent personnel, resulting in an extremely high mortality rate.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Special Operations Department, who was rumored to be capricious and extremely tyrannical, did not ask them to be cannon fodder.

Beneath the doubts lay a deep sense of relief.

They immediately split into several groups: dragging the wounded soldiers back, setting up temporary energy barriers, and driving the surrounding residents and poor people to retreat to the safe zone. The originally chaotic scene was stabilized in a short time.

Li Xia didn't look at them again and walked towards the fire.

An invisible force spread out around him, keeping out the scorching heat and the pungent blood mist.

His gaze pierced through the billowing smoke and flickering flames, landing on the very center of the fire.

A semi-transparent, humanoid cloud of energy floated within the flames.

It lacks clear facial features and limb outlines, resembling a dark shadow immersed in water, standing vaguely on the ruins.

The surrounding air continued to twist and vibrate, rippling out in fine waves.

The bricks beneath its feet trembled, then exploded into a cloud of stone dust, and the metal railings hummed and gradually twisted.

Even the flying sparks were shattered into tiny specks of light the moment they got close to it.

Li Xia's pupils suddenly contracted.

Is this... Tina's little house?

His gaze swept over the charred beams and piles of broken bricks, finally settling on the semi-transparent figure not far from its feet.

A charred and blackened lunchbox lay half-buried in the rubble; it was the dinner he had left for her before he left.

Li Xia's gaze paused, then gradually turned cold. The fire snakes surrounding him seemed to be stirred by something, whimpering as they spread outwards.

Who was the first to arrive here?

The cold voice betrayed no emotion, but the members on guard behind him felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

"Reporting, sir, it's Silby from the fourth patrol!"

Sylby.......

"Let him come here!"

Before long, a middle-aged man in uniform with a large belly came running over, panting.

He wiped the sweat from his fat face, and with a fawning and cautious air, bowed and said:

"Your Excellency! I was the first to discover this place and immediately sounded the alarm! There was absolutely no delay!"

Where is Tina?

Li Xia didn't look at him, but asked in a low voice:

"Where is she?"

Sylby's smile froze, disbelief and panic flashed in his downcast eyes, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Tina...? This subordinate...this subordinate doesn't know any Tina, and doesn't know who you're asking about, sir?"

"Don't you recognize me?"

Li Xia finally turned around:

“You don’t recognize your former subordinate, Finn…his wife and daughter, whom you took care of…who were frequent visitors…?”

Sylby suddenly looked up, staring at Li Xia in astonishment, his mind going completely blank.

How could he know? How could such a big shot like him have any dealings with such insignificant commoners?

"Who is she? You should be familiar with her, right?"

Li Xia pointed to the isomer standing quietly on the ruins in the distance, emitting painful cries.

"She is Helena... the wife of your subordinate Finn, isn't she?"

Sylby snapped out of his daze, swallowed hard, and forced a calm smile onto his face:

“Sir…this kind of trivial matter is not something an adult like you should be concerned about. I think…this is what you should be concerned about.”

He trembled as he pulled a thick wad of coins from his pocket.

Li Xia glanced at it, then suddenly reached out. Sylby felt an irresistible force come over him, and his body flew up and landed in Li Xia's hand.

They tossed it aside like trash.

"Let him speak."

The three little ones, who were already burning with anger and could no longer contain themselves, surrounded him and used all the interrogation methods they had learned from their own space on him.

In an instant, piercing screams and wails echoed throughout the block. The remaining team members swallowed hard, watching in horror as Silby, tears streaming down his face, rolled on the ground like a dead pig.

His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Li Xia.

After a while, the screams gradually stopped, leaving only Silby's heavy breathing.

Awoo slowly flew over, its dejection unprecedented:

"Boss, Tina is dead. He killed her."

boom!

The earth trembled, fine cracks spread across the ground, flames flew all around, and even the thick smoke rising into the sky was drawn in by some kind of energy.

It presents a huge vortex, constantly swirling in the sky.

Li Xia's figure suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Sylby, slamming a heavy punch down.

"Boom!"

The ground bulged and exploded rapidly in chunks, like biscuits, and the ground within a radius of tens of meters suddenly sank.

The terrifying force of the punch created a visible shockwave that surged and boiled outwards, carrying large amounts of mud and sand in all directions.

The guards on standby all around felt their bodies being blown back a few steps by the strong wind.

The first to be hit, Silby, seemed to be struck by a giant impact hammer. His body swelled rapidly and then exploded in an instant, turning into the finest minced meat.

Even the bones in his body were shaken into thumb-sized fragments, which were spread flat across the ground, staining the bottom of the pit with large, spray-like patches of blood red.

The special operations team members, who had just arrived from within the company, arrived just in time, led by two new supervisors. They stared in disbelief as Li Xia slowly straightened up from the pit.

He then disappeared again, appearing directly above the isomer's head.

Another punch came down, and the semi-transparent, gas-filled heteromorph suddenly howled upwards, emitting a high-frequency impact that could be seen with the naked eye, but it was easily rippled away by that punch.

The terrifying fist suppressed all the isomer's resistance, pinning it to the ground:

"It's up to you now..."

Li Xia walked past them and coldly gave an order.

The two new supervisors nodded blankly, but suddenly came to their senses and rushed forward with the containment containers.

As Li Xia walked, he listened to what Aowu had extracted from Silby through torture.

He didn't know what kind of feeling was echoing in his heart at that moment.

But he really wanted to kill someone.

Back alley... Rusty Nail Gang!

Chapter 6 Title-Level Powerhouses

Li Xia watched as the two new supervisors she had chosen rushed forward first.

At an extremely fast speed, several metal tubes flashing green lights were inserted into the center of the isomer, accompanied by a 'beep beep beep' sound.

These metal tubes suddenly began to vibrate rapidly, and shock waves remarkably similar to those of the isomers spread.

The originally translucent humanoid cloud of gas began to fluctuate violently, and then rapidly contracted to form a gaseous substance without a fixed shape.

They tossed the cylinders they held into the air, and using some unknown technology, the cylinders hovered above the cloud of gas. With a hissing sound, wisps of gas were gradually drawn out of the cloud, disappearing into it like smoke.

Only then did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

He carefully put the container away and stood at attention in front of Li Xia:

"Reporting to you, sir, the isomorph has been successfully contained."

Li Xia nodded, looking at them:

Do you know the Rusty Nail Gang?

The two exchanged a glance, seemingly hesitant, but ultimately nodded.

"Yes, sir!"

"take me."

After handing the container to the other members, the three headed towards the back alley area.

They wanted to get there faster, but Li Xia stopped them.

He needed some time to think before heading to the Rusty Nail Gang.

Sylby was a minor character, knew little, and was only one part of the whole affair.

Whether she comes or not, whether she knows Tina or not, her ultimate fate is death.

Their target wasn't Tina, but Tina's mother, Helena.

This poor woman was under immense mental pressure and was actually on the verge of collapse, but she had been silently enduring it all because of Tina.

Her body was contaminated with heterogeneous fragments by Sylby, a kind of spiritual pollution.

Without a physical form and undetectable, this is why when Li Xia saw her before, he felt that she should have died long ago, but she was strangely hanging on by a thread—because once she died, she would transform into an isomer.

But Tina's presence gave her an unprecedented burst of willpower, allowing her to cling to life.

This mother is desperately trying to avoid turning into a monster and harming her daughter.

The study of isomers is far more in-depth and comprehensive than that of Li Xia.

They were certainly aware of this, but they remained inactive.

Sylvie's mission was to kill Tina in front of Helena after the RS-012 incident, causing her to go berserk and transform into a monster.

Having only been in this world for a day, a series of events have already occurred, and these events are not isolated incidents, but rather secretly connected.

The Rusty Nail Gang was upstream of the Silby line.

The pay and tasks he received were all passed on to him by the Rusty Nail Gang.

Li Xia knew that even if he rushed to the Rusty Nail Gang now, it would be difficult to get any information from higher up.

The fact that this series of plans could be carried out, that Anne could be placed next to her, and that RS-012, an heterogeneous entity, must indicate that there is a large and secretive organization behind it.

But it's okay...

All he wants to do now is kill.

..................

The fine leather boots crunched through the muddy back alley, and the rusty and foul smells in the air grew stronger, while a thin mist enveloped the deathly shack.

There is naturally no electricity here, and in this resource-scarce and harsh environment, there is no possibility of having flammable materials to provide them with fire, warmth, and lighting.

A rustling sound rang out all around.

In the thin mist, dark figures moved back and forth between the shacks, and the creaking sound of the dilapidated doors being pushed open was particularly clear in the silent night sky.

Then came unsettling sucking sounds.

Street cleaners...

Relevant information came to mind for Li Xia.

The Cleaners are monsters controlled by the Primal Order's leader.
