Chapter 320: Entering John's Zoo, The Strange Saint and Miller
Wolf Mother: I have shut down the automatic defense system on the west side of the zoo. You can enter the underground experimental area from there.
A winding route map was sent over by Mona.
Following this route, Yu Yuan and his group quickly arrived at the entrance to the underground experimental area beneath the zoo's aquarium.
Mona was already waiting there, and beside her lay a Security Captain who had collapsed on the ground.
"All ordinary personnel in the underground experimental area have already fallen unconscious. Only the department heads who received the Genetic Modification Serum injections retain some basic mobility, but their combat capabilities are essentially gone. They are all in the Genetic Modification Laboratory."
"The experimental area initiated isolation and lockdown procedures immediately upon discovering the plague. They are currently responsible for the base's operations."
"Today, they attempted multiple methods of containment and treatment for the plague, but all had minimal effect. Furthermore, the Saint and Miller have been moved to a specialized isolation room...."
Mona quickly briefed them on the situation.
However, Yu Yuan's gaze was fixed on the patch of shadow in the corridor behind Mona, and he shook his head slightly.
"Alright, Mona, if you keep talking, our Saint is going to get impatient!"Hearing Yu Yuan's words, both Mona and the Jackal team were startled, their eyes snapping towards that passageway.
"The Saint? Impossible! I saw him enter the isolation room with Miller with my own eyes."
Even as she said this, Mona deeply trusted Yu Yuan's judgment, and her body had already shifted into a combat stance, stepping back.
*Clap clap clap—*
Clear, crisp applause rang out from deep within the passageway.
"So it's you standing behind Zoe. To have stirred up so much trouble quietly in Green Forest City is truly impressive!"
As the voice sounded, the figure of Saint Jiu Feng emerged from the depths of the passageway, and behind him was Miller, whose expression was filled with utter disappointment.
"Zoe, you have disappointed me greatly."
The Jackal team reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, raising their weapons and adopting combat stances.
"I'm sorry, teacher!" Mona stood beside Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan, however, let out a light laugh, his gaze towards the Saint brimming with curiosity.
"Saint, I truly never expected that to lure me out, you would use the entire Aurora Animal Assistance Association as bait. That kind of audacity... I'm not your match."
The Saint carefully examined Yu Yuan before slowly saying:
"Since you can control this plague, if I'm not mistaken, the Stealth Rat should be in your hands, right?"
"Of course! Zhi Zhi, come out and say hello!"
As Yu Yuan's voice fell, Zhi Zhi separated from Yu Yuan's shadow, appearing on the ground.
Zhi Zhi's body was now one meter long, entirely condensed from black mist, its two eyes shining like two red searchlights.
Seeing such a miraculous Stealth Rat, both the Saint and Miller stared intently, utterly captivated.
"Zhi Zhi? This is the Stealth Rat that Moga created? It's actually like this..."
A flicker of surprise appeared in Miller's eyes, while Jiu Feng's gaze was filled with pure inquisitiveness.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect! To think there are Spiritual Creatures in this form. It's incredible."
Yu Yuan observed their expressions clearly, pondering to himself.
What's going on with these two? Something feels off!
Are they going to fight or not? With this attitude...
Seeing that the two had already launched into a discussion about the Stealth Rat's life form and abilities, ignoring everyone else, Yu Yuan gave a light cough to interrupt their conversation.
Miller and the Saint immediately shot him looks of displeasure.
"Hey, you two, why are you researching it now? Fight or not?"
"When did I say I was going to fight you?"
The Saint said, sounding surprised.
"You're not here to fight? Then what's all this about?" Now Yu Yuan was genuinely confused.
"Don't you just want to take over the zoo? Answer a few questions for me, and if you want the zoo, you can have it!"
Hmm?
Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the two men opposite him.
He had considered all possible scenarios for taking over the zoo, but this situation had never crossed his mind.
Meanwhile, the Saint was already looking at Yu Yuan.
"If I'm not mistaken, those people and the Lizard that appeared in District 13 the other day are related to you, right?"
"Can you tell me where they came from?"
Miller also looked at Yu Yuan, and there was actually a trace of a pleading look in his eyes.
Facing their strange gazes.
Yu Yuan couldn't quite figure out what was really going on with these two, but his intuition told him they genuinely wanted to know this answer.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yuan slowly said:
"Their appearance is indeed related to me, and they are not creatures of this world. As for which world they belong to specifically, I'm not clear either.
However, the reason those humanoid beings grew fangs is related to a Vampire. They are all Blood Slaves of that Vampire."
"So it really is a Vampire!" Miller murmured to himself.
"I never thought legendary creatures actually exist."
But the Saint keenly picked up on the implied meaning in Yu Yuan's previous words.
"You just said you don't know which world they belong to? What does that mean? Are there many worlds?"
Hearing the Saint's question, the strange feeling in Yu Yuan's heart grew even stronger.
He also recalled the intelligence reports about Saint Jiu Feng that mentioned Jiu Feng was filled with a desire to explore novel Spiritual Creatures and techniques for utilizing spirituality.
Yu Yuan gradually began to understand, and his gaze towards the two men became playful.
"That's right, there are many such worlds. Each world has its own unique world structure and ecosystem, and the Spiritual Creatures nurtured in each world are naturally different."
"For example, Vampires are one of the more powerful types of Spiritual Creatures among these worlds. Others include Werewolves, ghouls, zombies, Godzilla, Mothra, Kayako, and many, many more...."
"This... this many? Good heavens! All of these exist?" Miller's eyes widened involuntarily.
*How would I know if they exist? Well, if you think they do, then they do!* Yu Yuan mentally retorted, but on his face, he nodded emphatically.
"Yes, for instance, Godzilla belongs to the lizard category, just like that Lizard from the other day. However, one is adept at controlling rocks, while the other excels at controlling spiritual atoms. Its skill is called Atomic Breath, capable of destroying a building with a single breath easily...."
"And above our world, there are many even more powerful worlds..." Yu Yuan spun his tale, mixing truth with fiction.
Originally, Yu Yuan was just earnestly spouting nonsense, wanting to see what these two were really up to.
Who would have thought he'd hear the Saint's murmured words:
"So that's how it is. My previous speculation was indeed correct. There are other, more powerful worlds above this one. I wasn't mistaken. Those so-called deities are merely powerful creatures from the upper worlds."
What the...? Deities?
Yu Yuan was slightly surprised internally.
And what did he see?
Meanwhile, Miller had been lost in thought ever since hearing about Vampires and Werewolves.
Only now did his eyes light up as he looked at the Saint.
"Saint, I just remembered. Vampires and Werewolves are mortal enemies. Since those corpses were Blood Slaves, the one who fought Hogg two days ago must have been the Vampire. It was that Vampire who killed Hogg and took his body away."
"But the strange thing is, Hogg only injected the Gray Wolf Genetic Modification Serum! Could that really be considered part of the Werewolf race?"
Hearing Miller's words, the Saint shifted his gaze to Yu Yuan.
Miller's gaze followed closely.
Yu Yuan rubbed the space between his eyebrows. *This guy's reaction is really fast!*
But to find out their purpose, he still replied calmly, "That's right. I arranged it."
"So? Any more questions?"
