Chapter 522: Heh, Frog at the Bottom of the Well!

When Ye Lingchen broke free from the sea of ​​learning, the people from the Warrior's Department finally completed their task and returned.

Following the report to the superiors regarding the situation present there, it instantly attracted the attention of higher-ups and they once again sent out a troop of martial artists to handle the matter more smoothly.

Whether it was the beasts resulting from experiments, mutated humans, or information and the like, none of those should be leaked. It was foreseeable that the vicinity of the building would be strictly sealed within the coming days, and the research within would also be classified as top secret!

Of course, that part of the matter had nothing to do with Ye Lingchen. He was simply cooperating with the actions of the Warrior's Department.

However, Ye Lingchen and Lin Ao met with an acquaintance when they exited the building.

"Brother Lin, Brother Ye?" Wu Yue and the others were in charge of moving the animal carcasses. They were slightly taken aback when they saw the two people, and immediately surrounded them in excitement.

Soon, they reacted swiftly and stood with their legs straight to salute Ye Lingchen and Lin Ao!

"Captain of Coiled Dragon's Ninth Squad from the Warrior's Department, Wu Yue! Greetings, Sir!"

Behind him, the group of people also stood and saluted. "Greetings, Sir!"

"At ease. We're all brothers here. There's no need for this," Lin Ao waved his hand and looked at Wu Yue with a smile. "Not bad. I haven't seen you in this period of time and you're already the team leader."

Wu Yue scratched his head, "Hehe, it's still not as good as you two chiefs, especially Chief Ye, who has always been my idol."

"You're very good. You've made great progress!" Ye Lingchen looked at Wu Yue and said with a smile.

That team was the same group of people that Ye Lingchen encountered when he first entered the Warrior's Department. There are 15 individuals in total. After being selected by the Warrior's Department, they entered Coiled Dragon's special training together, then formed a team with Wu Yue as the team leader.

At that moment, they looked at Ye Lingchen with an enthusiastic and spirited gaze. Each one pointed out that they would not have taken that step if it were not for Ye Lingchen. Their morale could be said to have been greatly boosted by Ye Lingchen, be it in terms of physique or on a spiritual level.

"What are you doing?!"

At that moment, a loud shout came, and everyone was slightly surprised.

However, they saw a man in the military uniform walking over quickly. His face was solemn, his eyes were shining brightly, and the whole body carried an intimidating aura. He stared at Wu Yue and others, "Are you all gathered here for an opera or something? Have you completed your tasks?!"

"No, Sir!" Wu Yue immediately shook his body. "Apologies, Sir!"

"Is this a place for you to reminisce? Or do you think you can slack off just because you know a chief in the Warrior's Department!?" The man glanced at Ye Lingchen and Lin Ao as if pointing it out to them.

"No, Sir!" Wu Yue said immediately. "We'll continue the mission right away!"

When Wu Yue and the others left, the man looked at Ye Lingchen and Lin Ao. "Zheng Yu, Middle-Class Sentinel!"

Although he seemed to be introducing himself, his message and tone somehow carried hints of overbearingness and dominance. Whether it was Lin Ao or Ye Lingchen, they were both only Upper-Class Warriors whose positions were still beneath him.

Generally speaking, a salute was in order when meeting a chief.

"Chief Zheng, greetings." Lin Ao smiled slightly, then paused and said, "This is my brother, Ye Lingchen. Brother Ye was seriously injured during the mission and ought to be spared from saluting."

Lin Ao clearly did not get along too well with that Zheng Yu.

"So, you're Ye Lingchen," Zheng Yu looked at Ye Lingchen. "I've heard lots of rumors about you. They're almost miraculous and I don't know whether they're true or not. However, this mission is very disappointing!"

Ye Lingchen cocked his brows slightly and did not speak.

Lin Ao said, "Hehe, Brother Ye destroyed the genetic company's plan during the mission, all hazards and uncertain factors, killed countless mutant beasts and mutant warriors, and rescued nearly fifty-three children. I wonder what Chief Zheng is trying to say?"

"Firstly, after discovering the situation here, why didn't he report to the headquarters immediately! He clearly wants to take credit for it!"

"Secondly, if he doesn't act alone, the other party will definitely not escape when support arrives, and that will only increase the rate of completion for our mission!"

"Thirdly, a total of six researchers were killed and no one was left alive. This is unacceptable!"

"Fourthly, after the mission, why did the two of you enter the building privately without the consent of the superiors?"

It was a total of four questions, all equally intimidating.

"I'll answer your questions."

Before Lin Ao could speak, Ye Lingchen said lightly, "We'll start with the first and second questions. In this situation, I'm the only one with the ability to complete the mission! If we wait for support, support might hold us back and end up not being useful."

"The third question. Death cannot wipe out the crimes of these people! If I don't kill them, they won't die!"

Although this group of people researched brutal topics, they were ranked as scientific experts and experts from Sun Nation, no less. If Ye Lingchen did not kill them, there was no way the situation could be announced to the public. Should those people be captured alive, China had no jurisdiction to give them the death penalty, which was why Ye Lingchen did not hesitate to end their lives.

"The answer to the fourth question is that I completed the mission alone, so I have every right to enter the mission location by myself. As for the reasons, I have no comment on that!"

Tit-for-tat!

Zheng Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Ye Lingchen. "It looks like you've misunderstood your own strength. I don't mind helping you solve this misunderstanding!"

Ye Lingchen's words were no doubt harsh, especially when it came to the answers for the first and second questions. He barely only stopped short of saying that Zheng Yu would get in his way.

Of course, Zheng Yu did not know that Ye Lingchen was telling the truth. He could not even begin to imagine how strong Elder Hiroshi would be. In fact, Elder Hiroshi aside, even a genetic warrior on the third floor could easily torture Zheng Yu. Therefore, getting more warriors to come over was not only useless but would even become a burden.

Ye Lingchen shook his head and spoke unemotively, "You're the one who misunderstood the strength."

However, it was precisely that indifferent tone which made Zheng Yu's inner anger boil to the extreme.

Only

His fists clenched tightly and his eyes stared sharply at Ye Lingchen.

Ye Lingchen remained indifferent while Zheng Yu became aggressive. The difference in temperament made them into a stalemate at that moment, causing the atmosphere around them to become tremendously somber. It affected the other warriors, who did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

"Reporting, Sir." The mood was finally broken by a martial artist who walked out of the building. "An intact culture tank was found on the fourth floor. Preliminary inspection revealed that there is a genetic warrior inside!"

"Martial artists have their martial arts. You've just completed your tasks so I won't take action against you next time. I hope you'll be prepared when I see you next time!" Zheng Yu said coldly, then turned and walked toward the building.

"You'd better not casually touch the culture tank. The content isn't something you can deal with," Ye Lingchen said leisurely.

From a distance, Zheng Yu sneered, "Heh, frog at the bottom of the well!"
