There are more than 30 floors underground in Yuanlong Company’s headquarters building, and its space area is larger than the above-ground building.
More than 30 floors belong to the company's experimental department, which gathers the company's most cutting-edge talents, the most resources, and the strongest security system.
Although Wu Caiyun is the security minister, the underground test area is an independent security system and is not under her jurisdiction.
From this perspective, Wu Caiyun's position in Yuanlong Company is not high and she has not yet entered the real management level.
However, as Wei Yue's confidant, Wu Caiyun is still very respected in the company.
Wei Yue has always trusted Wu Caiyun, but she is very clear about official business. She rarely brings Wu Caiyun to the underground test area.
This time Wei Yue was obviously in a good mood, and he took Wu Caiyun to the elevator to the 22nd floor underground.
This is also the core area of the test area. Various confidential information and important test samples are stored on this floor.
The outer defense area on the 22nd floor is full of armed robots and various advanced security equipment. Even a mosquito can't sneak in.
Strictly speaking, even external bacteria cannot enter the 22nd floor.
Wei Yue and Wu Caiyun had to go through multiple disinfection procedures before they could enter the core area on the 22nd floor.
Fortunately, disinfection equipment is now advanced, so there is no need to take off clothes and take a shower. Powerful light waves can penetrate clothes and kill all parasitic bacteria.
It was Wu Caiyun’s first time to visit the test area on the 22nd floor. The first thing she saw when she entered was rows of vertical glass warehouses.
There are various experimental subjects in these glass chambers, including humans, alien races with ferocious beast-like shapes, insect-like Zerg, and various strange life forms.
Of course, most of them are human.
To make genetic medicines, of course, we need to collect data from various experimental subjects.
As for how to obtain these experimental subjects, Yuanlong Company purchased them through legal channels.
Compared to other companies, Yuanlong Company can be considered to have a conscience. Of course, Yuanlong Company is not doing charity.
Experimental subjects are experimental subjects. They don't care about their past. They only care about the test data on them.
The first time Wu Caiyun saw this kind of test scene, her scalp felt a little tingling.
Any normal person would feel uncomfortable with treating life as a test subject.
"Minister Wu, don't be afraid. The glass cabins are specially made. Even a level 10 expert would have a hard time getting out."
The head of the laboratory, Wei Ming, came over. He had gray hair and gray eyebrows. He was wearing a white coat, and even though he smiled friendly, he always had a creepy and dangerous aura.
Wu Caiyun knew how powerful Wei Ming was. This cousin of Wei Yue was a dozen years older than Wei Yue, but he was Wei Yue's die-hard supporter.
One of them controls the company's management, and the other controls the laboratory, firmly controlling Yuanlong Company.
"Hello, Director Wei."
Wu Caiyun greeted Wei Ming respectfully, keeping a very humble attitude.
Wei Ming nodded and smiled at Wei Yue, "Why are you here so late?"
Wei Yue smiled and said, "I'll give you a good test product."
Wei Ming glanced at Wu Caiyun and asked, "Are you talking about Minister Wu?"
He nodded and said, "A seventh-level source power cultivator is indeed a rare test subject. Very valuable."
Wu Caiyun was horrified. She became alert and slowly backed away.
Wei Yue sighed softly and asked, "Caiyun, I have been very kind to you. Why did you betray me?"
Wu Caiyun's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
She wanted to quibble, but facing Wei Yue's calm and indifferent eyes, she really didn't dare to lie.
The fact that Wei Yue dared to say this proved that he already had sufficient evidence.
On the other hand, even if there was no evidence, since Wei Yue had decided to take action, there was no way he would let her go.
Wu Caiyun has followed Wei Yue for more than ten years and knows him too well. Wei Yue either won't do anything or will do it thoroughly.
"Boss, I am helpless."
At the critical moment of life and death, Wu Caiyun couldn't help but beg, hoping that Wei Yue would give her a way to live.
"I understand. People always have many weaknesses. It's easy for others to take advantage of them and control them."
Wei Yue said softly: "I don't blame you. It's just that if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."
She said calmly, "It just so happens that I'm lacking relevant data on the Source Power masters. Caiyun, please help me out in the end. We won't owe each other anything."
Of course Wu Caiyun was unwilling to surrender. A fierce light flashed in her eyes and she was about to fight to the death, but Wei Ming on the opposite side suddenly pointed at her.
The invisible sword energy transformed from source power shot towards Wu Caiyun.
The sword energy was invisible and colorless. Wu Caiyun was shocked to find that the sword energy was coming at her. Just as she was about to dodge, the invisible sword energy split and instantly pierced into the two source power nodes between her eyebrows and chest.
The sharp and icy sword energy also disrupted the flow of energy in Wu Caiyun's body, freezing her completely in place, unable to use any strength.
Wu Caiyun looked at Wei Ming in great shock. This was the invisible sword energy that only a top-level swordsman could unleash, and the sword energy also had a special energy change: ice power.
This Wei Ming was actually a level 10 swordsman! She actually knew nothing about this.
Wei Ming is a really secretive person.
Wu Caiyun was shocked and scared. She wanted to beg for mercy, but two robots came over, roughly took off her clothes, and put her into an experimental cabin.
Wei Ming said to Wei Yue: "Why don't you step away? This situation is quite unsightly."
Wei Yue shook his head: "If I lose, I will be more miserable than her. I want to watch this scene and remember it forever."
"You're always so sensible."
Wei Ming did not force her. He started the equipment and injected Wu Caiyun with the Skywalker gene medicine.
He explained to Wei Yue: "Wu Caiyun's source node is solidified, and it is almost impossible to break through. Therefore, we need to add some stimulation and increase the dosage."
"This passive promotion is still very painful. I hope Minister Wu can hold on for a while."
Wei Ming and Wu Caiyun are not familiar with each other. As a scientific madman, he has no feelings for ordinary people.
When it comes to doing experiments, he is full of interest.
Ordinary experimental subjects are easy to obtain, but power masters are very rare. Especially the seventh-level power masters, who are considered first-class masters in Mingjing City.
Wu Caiyun can be the Minister of Security, so she must have the ability.
As one dose of Skywalker gene potion after another was injected, Wu Caiyun's body began to swell and deform.
The mutation of the gene sequence caused Wu Caiyun to suffer extremely. She struggled hard in the experimental cabin but could not break it.
Wei Yue watched all this coldly. She said to Wei Ming, "Last time when we were sniped by a ghost gun in the restaurant, I suspected that there was a problem inside. This time I sent Wu Caiyun to deliver the goods, and she was the only one who knew about it. But something went wrong. This proves that Wu Caiyun is a spy."
She sighed and said, "Wu Caiyun is not smart either. She dared to come back to report. She really thinks I am stupid."
Wei Yue said to Wei Ming with excitement: "There is good news. An Shirong has been killed."
"Um?!"
Wei Ming almost thought he had heard it wrong. He stared at Wei Yue with wide eyes, waiting for Wei Yue to confirm it again.
"That's right, An Shirong is dead. I hired someone to kill him."
Wei Yue felt a great sense of relief after speaking out his secret.
Such a big thing weighed heavily on her heart, and she was really depressed. She could only share this joy with Wei Ming.
Wei Ming stared blankly for a long time, then he suddenly realized, "How did you do that? That's An Shirong, the president of SHIELD, the head of the An family, a level 10 expert, and the best boss in Mingjing!"
Wei Ming was really shocked. An Shirong was too strong. Once An Shirong died, the An family would inevitably fall apart.
This is human nature. One or two smart people who consider the overall situation cannot change the situation.
Such an An family can barely take care of itself and no longer poses a threat to the Yuanlong Group.
Without An Shirong, even if they lost the real sword duel, the situation would not get out of control immediately. It can be said that they have already won most of the game.
“I just did it.”
Wei Yue couldn't help but smile smugly in front of his cousin, who was his best friend.
She won the bet! She was extremely happy.
Fang Zhenshan, An Shirong, these men wanted to rob her of her property and conquer her. The way they looked at her was full of strong possessiveness and the dominance of men over women.
In their eyes, she was just prey, food.
Wei Yue could tolerate failure, but she could not tolerate such humiliation. She would rather die than surrender. She would not surrender to anyone.
Therefore, she dared to do this big deal with a Blood Shadow whose background she didn't know.
Wei Yue would rather lose miserably than surrender. She would rather die without a burial place than kneel down and beg for life.
Ever since An Shirong chose to attack her, the two sides have been mortal enemies.
Those men who wanted to conquer her turned into corpses and ashes.
The joy is beyond words.
For this kind of pleasure, Wei Yue felt that all the costs were worth it, even if Yuanlong Company was destroyed tomorrow!
In fact, Wei Yue had already overestimated Blood Shadow. Blood Shadow's ability still shocked her.
No matter what Xueying was planning, Wei Yue had no way out after coming to this point. She didn't want to retreat either.
Even if there is an endless abyss ahead, it is her own choice. She will never back down!
Wei Yue then said to Wei Ming: "If Blood Shadow can solve the problem of Baiyun City, you don't have to do it."
Wei Ming sighed, "It's always better not to fight. I've been concentrating on scientific research for the past ten years, and my swordsmanship has barely improved. My chances of winning against Baiyun City are not high."
The title of the third best swordsman in Dongzhou is not just a boast. Although Wei Ming is confident, he is not blind. He thinks that he is a scientist and has little interest in real sword duels.
Especially in a duel where you are likely to lose, it is better not to fight.
The next day, the news of An Shirong's death was like a landing typhoon, causing huge waves in the upper class of Mingjing City.
