Chapter 226

Xiao Hua managed a strained smile, not bothering to point out his lies, and simply turned her gaze to Bai Mu.

Bai Mu's dark eyes were as calm as still water, and he said indifferently, "He's lying."

Xiao Hua felt reassured. After all, Bai Mu's ability to read people was always impressive. With both of them in agreement, Xiao Hua's initial 70% confidence shot up to 99%.

Her eyes darkened, and she quickly closed the distance to Zhang Ren, kicking him several feet away.

Zhang Ren's body was already completely frozen, lying stiffly on the stone floor, unable to stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Hua's eyes darkened, and she slightly flexed her wrist, clearly ready to start beating him up.

After loosening up her joints, she strode towards Zhang Ren, intending to force the truth out of him, but was suddenly stopped by Bai Mu.

Xiao Hua cocked her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

Bai Mu casually glanced at Zhang Ren, meeting his gaze filled with hidden hatred, and a smile curled at the corner of his lips, "I know where the lab is."

Zhang Ren's eyes flickered with panic for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Impossible."

Xiao Hua immediately turned her head, staring straight into Bai Mu's eyes, "Where?"

"Over there," Bai Mu slowly turned and pointed in a direction.

Zhang Ren's face paled slightly.

Xiao Hua noticed Zhang Ren's expression and instantly knew that Bai Mu's answer was 90% correct. She lowered her eyes, a smile playing on her lips.

"Alright, let's go."

With the matter now clear, Bai Mu had confirmed the location of the lab, and Xiao Hua was ready to head there immediately.

As for the frozen Zhang Ren, given his special status, they decided to bring him along.

Bai Mu's judgment was indeed correct. Following the direction he pointed, within ten minutes, Xiao Hua saw the "Cao Research Institute" about ten meters away.

The obvious name clearly indicated it was Dr. Cao's lab.

Xiao Hua wasn't rushing to enter. She turned her head to Kong Yu and asked, "What's the situation inside?"

Kong Yu closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before replying, "Dr. Cao and his subordinates, along with a late-stage level three healing powers enhanced individual, that's it."

"..." Xiao Hua closed her eyes for a moment, her gaze drifting to the lab entrance, "What about the two at the door? Did you eat them?"

Kong Yu's face was impassive, "The one on the left is a late-stage level three earth powers enhanced individual, and the one on the right is an early-stage level four speed powers enhanced individual. Neither is particularly strong."

Xiao Hua touched her chin thoughtfully and nodded in agreement. She then turned slightly, looking directly into Bai Mu's eyes, "Brother Bai, what's the plan?"

"There is no plan," Bai Mu said calmly, his expression relaxed and serene, "I can conceal all of you within half an hour. No one will notice no matter how you fight."

"Seriously?!" Zhao Ye couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Bai, are you serious? We can just start fighting without any issues?"

Bai Mu nodded with composure.

Although the lab didn't have many guards, there were numerous traps and mechanisms everywhere. From what Xiao Hua could see, there were at least three.

But the good thing was, Bai Mu's powers were now strong enough to perfectly conceal them, so the mechanisms wouldn't detect them.

—That was what Xiao Hua initially thought.

However, reality always goes out of its way to prove you wrong. Just as they were about to pass a certain device, Bai Mu suddenly stopped, furrowed his brows, and stood still.

After a moment, his expression grew serious. "This device is unusual. Everyone, be careful."

Xiao Hua's face also grew more solemn. After a moment of sensing, she slowly raised her eyes. "This damn thing is giving off some kind of power signal. It should be able to detect the powers of enhanced individuals, and it might even attack us later."

It seemed quite similar to the detection device in City C back then, but that thing could only detect powers and had no other use, at most a basic version.

This one, however, could both detect and attack. It was definitely an enhanced version, and its power and specific functions were unknown. Everything was up to them to figure out.
