Chapter 607: 608, The Embroidery of Splendid Universe (Part 2)

"Look at it, gently close your eyes, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you home..." Chu Jin said, pausing after each word. His tone, light and faint, seemed to be coated with a layer of magic that made people let down all their defenses and relax as never before.

The youth watched the crystal pendulum swing gently before his eyes, his eyelids growing heavier and the smile at his lips becoming stronger, eventually settling there.

He could finally go home.

He saw his long-missed parents.

And Yellowie, who always loved to follow him around.

How wonderful.

He had finally come back.

Back under the sunshine.

Chu Jin slowly retracted the Pendulum, calmly placing it into his pocket.

For this young man.

Death was the best release.

At least, in the last moment of his life, he was happy.

Chu Jin took a step back, bowing deeply to the youth, and then began to take action.

He took out bombs from the Purple Thunder space.

He carefully hid the bombs in every corner of this laboratory.

Seemingly only the size of a thumb, their explosive power was enormous! Enough to blow up a ten-story building.

The second laboratory was for live dissections.

Before he even got close to the lab, he heard the shrill, miserable screams.

One after another, they made one’s scalp tingle.

The scene was even more hellish.

Half-grown youths, locked to the dissection tables, could only watch helplessly as they were cut open and disemboweled.

Blood was everywhere.

Pain.

Intense pain.

Pain beyond imagination.

The faces of the youths were twisted with agony, they could even feel the scalpel cutting through them, slice by slice, as they watched their flesh and bones no longer belong to them.

Those holding the scalpels chatted and laughed merrily with their colleagues while expertly slicing through the youths’ flesh and bone.

Their movements were skilled.

As if the ones lying under their hands were not humans, but animals.

The laughter and the tragic screams intertwined, strikingly grating to the ear.

Just as Chu Jin was about to push the door and enter, someone in a sterilized garment, pushing a cart, also headed in this direction. Chu Jin quickly hid around the corner.

Once the person was beside him.

Chu Jin delivered a chop with the side of his hand, and the person collapsed unconscious.

Chu Jin quickly dragged him and his cart to a blind spot in the surveillance area, deftly stripping off his sterilized clothes and hat, and put them on herself.

When she emerged again, she had become one of the members.

Indistinguishable in gender.

She pushed the cart boldly into the second laboratory.

The scene inside the lab was far more horrific than she had imagined.

Human limbs and heads were piled everywhere.

The air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

Five experiment stations.

Each station held a test subject.

"Hey, what’s the delay? You must be new, right? Hurry up and bring me that stuff," an impatient doctor conducting an experiment called out.

Without betraying any emotion, Chu Jin pulled her gaze back, pushing the cart and quickening her pace forward, replying fluently in F Country’s language, "Right away."

In this laboratory, besides the test subjects, everyone was from F Country.

Another doctor forcefully pulled the intestines out of a young man’s abdominal cavity, "The lives of Hua Nation people are indeed tough; he’s still not dead, even like this."

"Ahh!" The youth let out a scream.

"Hahaha, people of an inferior race, they all have tough bones; tough bones mean tough lives."

It was hard to imagine.

That these people were still alive, despite being gutted like this.

Every second felt like an eternity.

Chu Jin’s hand on the cart’s handle turned white from the force she was exerting, her veins bulging.

She took step by step toward the butchers at the side.

Malevolence emanated from her.

"Hurry up! Didn’t you eat?" One of them was already impatient, frowning angrily at Chu Jin.

There were a total of five doctors in this laboratory.

One of them, judging by the physique, was a woman.

Although a woman.

Her heart was even more vicious than the men’s, the young man under her had been tortured beyond human recognition.

His mouth could only emit a fragmented moan.

"I told you to hurry up, didn’t you hear me!?" That person, seeing Chu Jin still moving sluggishly, stepped forward abruptly.

"Indeed," Chu Jin slightly lifted her lips, tilting her chin up, revealing her delicate peach-like eyes to the air, her gaze filled with a cold radiance, "I didn’t hear you!"

With one hand, she fiercely threw a playing card.

The other hand gripped the cart’s handle and gave a vigorous push, sending the cart hurtling forward with an intimidating force.

"Whoosh"—the playing card embedded itself in the person’s forehead, who remained frozen in a walking posture.

"Bang, bang, bang"—the cart knocked the other four people to the ground.

Chu Jin clapped her hands lightly and walked forward, stretching out her hand to pull the card from the man’s forehead.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

That person didn’t even have time to close their eyes before they plummeted straight to the ground.

Thus far.

The laboratory was as silent as death.

No sound could be heard.

Chu Jin’s white germ-proof suit was now stained with blood, and under the shadowless lamp light, it seemed especially piercing to the eye.

The four people who had collapsed on the ground stared at her with eyes full of terror.

They were excellent experimenters, but not good fighters, so in this situation, they could only await their doom.

Chu Jin was removing her germ-proof coat while walking forward.

A cold smile played upon the corners of her clear-cut lips.

A chill flashed in her exquisitely delicate peach blossom eyes.

"Please, kill me," a pale, feeble hand grabbed the hem of her clothes as she passed by an experiment table.

Compared to living,

He preferred death.

He had already been tortured like this for five days.

The flesh on his body had long been carved away.

After death, he should be able to see his dearly missed parents.

Chu Jin stopped in her tracks, closed her eyes for a second, and reached out to gently close the young man’s eyes.

"Thank you," the young man uttered two words before closing his eyes.

Chu Jin slowly withdrew her hand and casually picked up a blood-stained surgical knife from the table, stepping steadily forward, with a faint smile curling up on her distinguished face.

That smile was clearly tinged with a chilling murderous intent.

It was enough to make one’s blood run cold.

"Who... who are you? What do you want to do?" The four people on the ground kept retreating backward.

"You’re from Hua Nation! You’re from Hua Nation! I’ll kill you! All people from Hua Nation deserve to die!" The female doctor grabbed a pistol from the ground, pulled the trigger, and charged at Chu Jin!

She was the only one among these doctors who had training, and her combat skills were decent, her adaptability strong.

Unfortunately, her skills were nothing in the eyes of Chu Jin.

Watching the female doctor charge at her, Chu Jin lifted her eyes indifferently, the smile on her face unchanged.

She lightly lifted her foot.

A whirlwind kick swept out, hitting the female doctor’s gun-wielding hand precisely.

The silver pistol was kicked into the air.

The female doctor paused, then leaped to grab the pistol mid-air, but Chu Jin didn’t give her the chance. Narrowing her eyes slightly, she aimed at the woman’s knee and flicked out a playing card.

"Whoosh"—the card embedded itself directly into the female doctor’s knee.

"Bang."

The female doctor, hit hard in the knee, collapsed right at Chu Jin’s feet.

Only then did Chu Jin nonchalantly extend her left hand to catch the falling pistol.

A Beretta 92F pistol.

A fine piece of equipment.

Chu Jin slipped the pistol into her waistband.

"Don’t worry," Chu Jin played with the blood-soaked surgical knife in her hand, lowered her eyes slightly, and looked at the four people on the ground, speaking deliberately, "I’ll make sure you die... in a very ugly way!"

In her black attire, she resembled a Shura who had crawled out from the deepest abyss of hell.

Screams erupted incessantly from the laboratory.

People were continuously walking past the laboratory outside.

Yet nobody noticed how these screams were any different from the usual.

Twenty minutes later, a person in a doctor’s germ-proof suit walked out of the laboratory.

The state of those four people inside the laboratory was too horrible to look at.

Like those young men, they had been gutted, hands and feet severed, suffering in pain. Yet, they were kept just alive enough not to die.

The third laboratory was for blood exchange experiments.

Blood exchange experiments, as the name suggests, involve drawing out all the blood from a living person and then replacing it with new blood.

But here, the new blood was not human blood.

It was animal blood.

Pigs, horses, cows, sheep...

To replace human blood with animal blood—such appalling acts could probably only be carried out by these inhumane people of F Country.

The animal blood injected into humans caused severe rejection. Within a mere thirty minutes, the people would all die.

When Chu Jin entered, she saw several doctors pressing down on a convulsing young man while another was holding a syringe, injecting unknown animal blood into the young man’s body.

Another doctor was noting down the boy’s bodily changes.

A few other young men were lined up, waiting to have their blood drawn.

Everyone in the room was occupied with their tasks, hardly noticing Chu Jin.

They also didn’t realize that danger was drawing near them.

Chu Jin quickly approached the doctors, kicked the syringe from one’s hand, and drew a silenced pistol from her waist.

"Bang bang—"

The doctors didn’t even have time to react before they fell to the ground.

The youngsters in the room were scared pale, staring straight at Chu Jin, not knowing how to react.

This person before their eyes.

Was she here to rescue them?

But she was clearly dressed in the same attire as the people from this place.

The people here were capricious.

Rebellions were common.

The next one to die, could it be them?

Chu Jin pulled down her mask, revealing her uniquely exquisite features. She looked at the group of teenagers, squatted down, and slowly began, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here to rescue you. Do you know where the others are being held?"

The moment Chu Jin spoke.

The teenagers knew that this young lady was a good person.

She was the only one from Hua Nation they had seen in so many days.

"I know," one of the teenagers said calmly, nodding.

He was the most composed among the group of teenagers.

He was only about thirteen or fourteen, yet there was not even the slightest trace of fear in his eyes, only that, his figure was too thin.

All of Chu Jin’s movements just now had been observed by this teenager.

When he looked at Chu Jin, a light of admiration burst forth in his eyes.

From the moment Chu Jin made her move, he knew they were saved!

Chu Jin felt a strange sense of familiarity when looking at the teenager, which was odd because she was certain she had never seen him before.

She pushed aside the peculiar feeling in her heart and continued, "I will take you to a safe area first, then you lead me to the others."

"Okay," the teenager nodded firmly.

Chu Jin, leading the teenagers, stepped over corpses towards the exit.

Fortunately, the teenagers were very agile and did not slow Chu Jin down. Moreover, it was the latter half of the night, when the guard was, relatively speaking, a bit more relaxed.

Chu Jin easily escorted them to a safe area.

"Stay here for now. If you hear an explosion later, hurry and run towards the outer gate—once you’re outside, you’ll be safe," Chu Jin said, while pouring out black pills from a blue porcelain bottle and handing them to the teenagers.

The teenagers took the pills, eyeing Chu Jin with some wariness.

Being held for such a long time and forced to consume various drugs and hormones, it was natural for them to be guarded.

"Don’t be afraid, these pills will help detoxify your bodies," Chu Jin explained.

Hearing this, one of the teenagers swallowed the pill in his hand without hesitation.

Seeing him do so, the others followed suit and swallowed their pills.

"Thank you, sister. We will never forget your great kindness," said the teenager who had swallowed the pill first, kneeling down before her.

"We will never forget this for as long as we live!" the other teenagers also knelt down one after another.

Chu Jin helped them up, "A man’s knees are as precious as gold, reserved for kneeling to heaven and to his parents. Kneeling before me is out of the question. Get up. Remember, a good man may bend his back, but never his knees!"

To these teenagers.

Chu Jin was their second parent.

If not for her, they would have long died on the experiment tables.

Chu Jin’s words deeply impacted these teenagers, leaving their hearts unsettled for a long time.

For as long as they lived.

They would remember these words.

A good man may bend his back, but he must never bend his knees!

This was said by someone who seemed like a fairy.

After giving instructions, Chu Jin looked down at one of the teenagers, "Let’s go."

"Okay," the teenager replied softly, following behind Chu Jin.

After swallowing the pill Chu Jin gave, he felt strength coursing through his body.

"Are you afraid?" Chu Jin asked while walking.

Perhaps because she felt a closer connection with this teenager, she became more talkative.

"Not afraid," the teenager shook his head, agilely avoiding a laser beam.

If one were to be hit by that laser, their body would be sliced in half.

Chu Jin glanced at the teenager, surprise flickering in her eyes.

She hadn’t expected the seemingly quiet teenager to possess such skills.

"Take this for self-defense," Chu Jin drew her pistol from her waist and handed it to the teenager, then questioned, "Do you know how to shoot?"

"Thank you," the teenager took the gun.

He knew how to use a gun, and his physical skills were good; clearly, he was no ordinary person!

Youngster!

You have caught my attention!

Chu Jin looked at the teenager with slight surprise and asked as if by the bidding of some divine force, "What’s your name?"

"Chu Xiu," the teenager replied indifferently, "Chu as in the Chu from ’Chu and Sui dynasty treasures,’ and Xiu as in ’magnificent universe.’"

"Chu Xiu?" Chu Jin was a bit shocked, wondering why their names were so astonishingly similar.

Chu Jin, Chu Xiu?

Magnificent?

Was it fate or just a coincidence?

"Hm," the teenager nodded calmly.

Chu Jin pushed down the shock in her heart and headed toward the fourth laboratory.

Chu Xiu followed with agile movements.

The fourth laboratory.

It was the main lab, and also the one specially used by Tian Luo.

At the moment, Tian Luo was not inside.

Chu Jin and Chu Xiu slipped in with ease.

The lab of Tian Luo was expansive.

Various human specimens were displayed throughout the lab.

To the side, containers with human organs soaked in formalin.

The two had just entered the lab.

Noises from outside indicated someone was about to come in.

Chu Jin and Chu Xiu exchanged glances, and after a brief two seconds, both moved stealthily to either side of the door, ready to strike a deadly blow to whoever came through.

The door opened.

A tall figure stepped in from outside.

"Don’t move!" Chu Jin quickly darted over, pressing a sharp dagger against the person’s throat.

Chu Xiu cautiously closed the door behind them.

"You are... Chu Jin?" A familiar voice came from above Chu Jin’s head, even as the person casually grasped her waist.

Because he recognized her as Chu Jin, he didn’t retaliate immediately.

Otherwise, how could Chu Jin have subdued him so easily?

The voice was quite familiar.

Chu Jin instinctively looked up and saw a set of features she knew even better.

It was.

The visitor was.

Song Shiqin.

He hadn’t even changed his clothes, entering in his military uniform.

"Is it you?" Chu Jin released her hold and stepped back, maintaining a safe distance from Song Shiqin.

"Yes," Song Shiqin nodded, then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I am preparing to blow this place up," Chu Jin said in an indifferent tone, not bothering to conceal her intentions.

"Nonsense!" Song Shiqin’s handsome face turned solemn as he scolded seriously, "Don’t you know how dangerous this is? The military will take care of this. You’re just a girl, what’s the fuss about? Go back immediately!"

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "I have a sense of measure."

Song Shiqin sighed, somewhat helplessly, "Listen to me, go back quickly. Can you not distract me?"

Although he knew of her capabilities, Song Shiqin was still somewhat worried.

Dr. Tian Luo was no ordinary person; his methods might have already exceeded Chu Jin’s expectations.

Hearing this, Chu Jin coldly replied, "Mr. Song, mind your own business."

There was an ambiguous undertone in Song Shiqin’s words.

Distracted?

Their relationship hadn’t reached the point where Song Shiqin needed to be distracted by her, had it?

Chu Jin’s brow furrowed slightly.

She didn’t like this feeling.

Sensing the distance in her words, Song Shiqin replied as if nothing had happened, "Then take care of yourself."

"Thank you, I will," Chu Jin replied flatly.

Since she was determined to do this,

he would just have to watch over her more closely.

Protecting her from worry was his duty after all.

Chu Jin didn’t concern herself with Song Shiqin. Instead, she set up the bombs with Chu Xiu and then left the lab.

During this time,

Song Shiqin followed closely behind them.

Chu Jin looked back somewhat helplessly, "Mr. Song, could you please stop following me?"

Song Shiqin responded with his usual expression, "I am executing military duty."

In other words, if Chu Jin kept trying to stop him, she would be obstructing military affairs!

Obstructing military affairs.

That accusation was too big to bear!

Chu Jin pursed her lips and said no more.

If she couldn’t fight him off, perhaps she could still avoid him, right?

Chu Xiu led the way in front, and the three of them walked towards the dungeon where the young boys were held.

It seemed that Dr. Tian Luo didn’t regard the youngsters as having any significant combat value,

so the guards in the dungeon were not overly vigilant.

Song Shiqin took the initiative to clear the obstacles in their path.

They reached the dungeon with little to no danger, and it actually proved to be quite easy.

Arriving in front of the dungeon door,

Chu Jin skillfully removed a black hairpin from her hair and successfully unlocked the heavy iron lock.

The young boys locked in the dungeon were very cooperative.

During this time, they didn’t make any noise.

Chu Xiu and Song Shiqin led everyone to escape in the least populated direction.

However, with such a big event happening in the dungeon, it was impossible not to attract attention, and soon the entire base entered a state of full alert.

As she listened to the alarm sound again and again, Chu Jin glanced at Song Shiqin and said calmly, "Song Shiqin, you and Chu Xiu take them out, I’ll stay behind to clean up!"

This was probably the first time Chu Jin had addressed him by name, which caused Song Shiqin to pause before replying, "I’ll stay behind to clean up, you take them!"

As a man, how could he leave a woman in such danger?

"What time is this to be arguing? Just go! These kids need you!"

Song Shiqin had arranged for reinforcements outside; only he could safely lead these children out now! Chu Jin was right; compared to her, these children were in greater need of him!

Song Shiqin was a soldier.

As a soldier, he had to think of the bigger picture, to forsake personal sentiment for greater good.

This was an aspect of being a soldier that could never be changed.

"Okay!" Song Shiqin nodded, "Just be careful! I’ll come back as soon as I can!"

"Don’t worry." After saying these two words, Chu Jin held her pistol and walked in another direction.

The young girl under the lights had a slender silhouette, resembling a straight bamboo shoot. She took her steps one by one—each step stirring up a chilling breeze.

What awaited her,

was a cruel storm of blood and violence!
