The Creatures That We Are

Chapter 635: A Serious Punch

Chapter 635: A Serious Punch

Dr. Jia came to his senses after a moment.

“Seven Shadow and his people would do anything. If they can’t have you, they’re gonna kill you for sure! You’re a genius. No one would want you to fall into the hands of someone else, right?”

Black Fish patiently tried to persuade him. “You’re humanity’s greatest treasure. You can’t just die here!”

“You’re right!” Dr. Jia realized the pros and cons of his options. “No, I can’t die here. I have lots of studies to do.”

“Do you have any more resurrection pills?” Black Fish asked.

“I only have two,” Dr. Jia responded.

“Then have one and follow me!” Black Fish said. “This place isn’t safe. Even idiots will know to find you here!”

“Ah, right.” Dr. Jia took out a small blue bottle from his pocket, poured a pill out, and popped it into his mouth. Then he thought of something. “Give me a minute. I need to pack...”

“There’s no time! Forget it!” Black Fish grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the laboratory.

“Wait, let me take my parrot at least...”

“No, we’re going now!”

There was a narrow corridor outside the lab, which ran more than ten meters long. Dragging Dr. Jia through the corridor, Black Fish said, “We’re going to the garage. I’ll drive you away. Do you have any other hideout?”

“No.”

“Alright. We’ll find a hiding place and then contact the others.” Black Fish scowled. “Protector Six Rime got lured away by Gray Bear, and Elder Azure Dragon is fighting Wang Zikai. Seven Shadow hasn’t shown up. He’s gonna come for you for sure...”

Black Fish didn’t get to finish. He came to a sudden halt, his expression crumbling.

“Why did you stop?” Dr. Jia bumped into Black Fish’s back. He took a step back, confused.

“We’re too late.” Black Fish laughed bitterly.

The corridor was dim. At some point, thin spider webs had come to fill the corridor, and Black Fish only realized that something was wrong halfway through. When he noticed the danger, he was already trapped by countless spider webs.

A backlit man stood at the exit. He took a step forward, his face revealed when he entered the dim corridor.

He was dressed in a blue racing suit, with short black hair, blue eyes, a long face, and a confident smile. He was Black Fish, an Elite of Team Azure Dragon.

“I knew you would do this, Nainai.” Black Fish knew his former teammate well.

Clang!

With powerful currents and golden energy, the fist swung toward the sky. From afar, it seemed as if an arc of golden shockwave had cut through the black sky.

Yes, Azure Dragon’s Serious Punch hadn’t hit Nainai. She “disappeared”.

A second before Azure Dragon made a swing, Nainai had shrunk down to the size of a thumb in an instant, and Azure Dragon’s hit missed like a cannonball trying to hit a mosquito.

Nainai had pretended to attack Azure Dragon to fool him. She was immature, not stupid. She wasn’t such an idiot that she would fight Azure Dragon head-on.

It was all part of her plan.

Her job was to turn into a giant and create chaos so that Qing Ling and Wang Zikai could run away. Then Qing Ling would help her escape.

Swoosh.

A Black Gold dart flew toward Nainai, and she clung to it with both arms in midair.

Qing Ling didn’t hesitate to ride her blade away, followed by a Black Gold dart that drew little attention. It was carrying a girl, who continued to buzz like a mosquito.

Azure Dragon looked up at Qing Ling as she made her escape. He didn’t give chase, but instead turned to the ruins, landing on it with a jump. He was looking for his companions and Dr. Jia.

Soon, Azure Dragon found the unconscious and injured Black Fish. Like a victim of an earthquake, he was buried under a collapsed wall and soil, his chest penetrated by a ceiling light. Fortunately, it didn’t go through his heart.

Azure Dragon quickly removed the rubbles and extracted the ceiling light, injecting Black Fish’s chest with Medicine C.

“Hmph...”

Black Fish’s pale face slowly regained colors, and his furrowed brows relaxed.

Azure Dragon stood up and extended his senses with his eyes closed. There was no one else around.

“Where’s Dr. Jia?” Azure Dragon asked.

Lying on the ground, Black Fish spoke in starts and stops. “In...Nainai’s...hands...”

The moment Nainai turned into a giant, she had grabbed Dr. Jia and held him in her hand. That was all Black Fish managed to see.

Azure Dragon frowned, quickly putting two and two together. He sighed.

“We failed to stop them.”
