The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain

Chapter 232: Prelude

Views:

In the office, Liu Sheng was reviewing documents. Although he looks a little thin recently, it seems that he is troubled by the things of the big summer dragonfinch. But there was still a sparkle in his eyes.

As Li Anping's power grew stronger, he gradually handed over more power to his subordinates. Just like Daxia Longque, unless there are some special circumstances that need to be consulted with him, he has basically handed over all the work to Liu Sheng.

And during this period of time, Liu Sheng has finally stepped onto a peak of power in his life. An unprecedented sense of fulfillment and accomplishment spread in his body. And he basically gave up on training his own abilities, and put his whole body and mind into the construction of Daxia Longque.

He spent most of the day in this office.

At this time, he was looking at the report about Tian Haowen in his hand. The executors of this character are codenamed Shadow and Gunner. Although they are two rookies, with their abilities, Tian Haowen should be able to easily deal with ordinary people. It turned out to be a failure.

"Peter Parker, these two people actually came together." Thinking of this, Liu Sheng continued to read.

After that, Jin Guang led the shadow and the gunman to ambush Peter Parker again, but the other party continued to flee after paying the price of serious injuries. Jin Guang chased it down alone, while the shadow and the gunman tried their best to find Tian Haowen's trace.

But since being taken away by Peter Parker, Tian Haowen seemed to have completely disappeared. Not only did they not find him, but they didn't even find the slightest trace of him in all the monitoring.

All online accounts have never been logged in since the day he disappeared, and all relatives, even his ex-wife and children have not received a call. Even his bank account, the money in it has not been moved.

Although no body was found, Scorpion, who was in charge of Tian Haowen's case, believed that the other party might have been killed by the aftermath of Jin Guang's attack. He applied for the police in Emerald City to conduct a grassroots investigation and final confirmation.

Liu Sheng thought about it, but still dismissed it. Tian Haowen was in a little trouble. But in front of the really serious Daxia Longque, it's not worth mentioning at all. Even if he appears again, he will never have the opportunity to speak out to the public.

And now it seems that even if he didn't die under Jin Guang's attack, he probably wouldn't feel well, and he fully understood his situation. Choose to let go of your past and hide it.

Liu Sheng didn't bother to waste time and money to find him, Emerald City was in a sensitive period, so there was no need for extra trouble.

After making new arrangements for the shadow and gunman who had not completed the task, Yagyu looked at the next file. But at this moment, the phone on his desk rang.

He frowned deeply when he heard the phone ring.

On his desk, there are two phones, one black and one red. The red phone is the phone that Liu Sheng is most unwilling to receive, because it means some urgent situation.

Liu Sheng answered the phone: "Hello?"

"I'm code-named I233, and I'm in a sewer somewhere in Kyoto." There was a panting sound from the other side.

Liu Sheng questioned: "You should know what the priority of this call is, and what exactly happened to you."

"Strange... monster..." The voice over there revealed a trace of panic: "The potion of immortality exists, but... monster..."

Suddenly the phone began to murmur, followed by a barrage of gunshots, followed by terrified human screams.

Liu Sheng shouted: "Hello? Hello? Where are you? What kind of monster?"

But the person on the other side seemed to have no time to take care of the phone, and after another miserable scream, everything returned to calm. Liu Sheng listened to the sound coming from the phone with bated breath, it seemed to be the panting sound of some kind of animal, as well as the sound of chewing and biting.

Then there was a crackling sound, and there was no more sound. The phone seemed to be destroyed by someone, and Liu Sheng could only hear a busy tone.

All of this was so unusual that Liu Sheng was startled and uncertain. What happened in Kyoto was only received in the past two days. As the capital of Dongyang, the capital of this incident, for some reason, began to spread some myths about the so-called elixir.

Daxia Longque had latent investigators in Kyoto in the early years. Although they had little ability, they had the authority to directly contact the highest superior of Daxia Longque. This time, it was originally aimed at the weird rumors circulating in the capital, but it was just a little investigation to ensure that Li Anping's trip to Dongyang later would not be affected. Even Yagyu didn't pay attention to this trivial matter.

It turned out that something really unusual seemed to be uncovered. In particular, the saying that the potion of immortality really exists, and the so-called monsters all caught Liu Sheng's attention.

He thought about it, and finally made a call: "Hello?"

A woman's voice came from the opposite side. While she was talking about who to look for, there was a crackling sound and another woman's screaming and panting from the microphone.

Liu Sheng's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Tell Yan Bei that I am Liu Sheng, and tell him to roll over and see me immediately."

Ten days later, in the laboratory, Li Anping's transformation was coming to an end. The wound on the chest was slowly stitched up, and the robotic arm was retracted into the operating table.

He sat up slowly, and could clearly feel every airflow sucked into the throat by the nasal cavity, and felt that the air entered the lungs, turned into various nutrients, and was directly transported to the blood vessels, and then transported by the blood to all parts of the body.

The cells of Li Anping's whole body seemed to be cheering for the incoming nutrients.

Compared with his current breathing, every breath he took before was like car exhaust.

He seems to feel that every moment, with the help of these nutrients, his physical fitness is improving at an extremely small speed. He feels that even if he does nothing, he may be able to break through 29.9 in a few years. The limit reaches the fifth energy level.

However, Li Anping knows that this is not the limit of the respiratory system. He has only initially completed the transformation of the respiratory system, because without the cooperation of the other five major systems, even if Li Anping can absorb various gases, his body cannot absorb them. Only after the transformation of the system is completed, can he truly absorb all the gas 100% and turn it into his own nutrients.

But just now, it is already very powerful. Not only has the efficiency of absorbing oxygen been greatly improved, Li Anping felt that his sense of smell has also become more sensitive.

He can clearly distinguish the taste of every object in the laboratory. If it wasn't for the fact that the laboratory had been sealed, staying in the city, he might be able to clearly confirm the location of people within a few kilometers around him by taking a breath.

Not only that, but also his lung strength, throat, and mouth's exhalation ability have also been greatly enhanced.

All in all, the transformation of the respiratory system has been preliminarily completed, and the next step is to wait for the six major systems to be completed, the whole body will completely break through the limits of human beings, and begin to evolve and become stronger without restriction.

So next, Li Anping can choose the next system to transform.

However, time passed quickly. After the renovation of the respiratory system was completed today, it was less than a week before the day to go to Dongyang. Although Li Anping really wanted to hide in the laboratory by himself and complete all the transformations in one go, he still had to do some things.

Thinking of this, he has already opened the door and walked out of the laboratory.
