Chapter 301: Chapter 396: What the Hell Do You Know_1

"The 'Seedling Project' is essentially about keeping a child as a contingency plan," he said.
"Do we still have that medication?" Bai Chaojin asked.
Immediately, a scientist rummaged through a damaged table nearby and pulled out a bottle of blue liquid, saying, "Luckily, Princess Bai Xi's powers didn't spread here; otherwise, it would take a lot of time to produce this." Find your next tale on m-vl-em|p-yr
Bai Chaojin glanced at Fang Ren, then touched Fang Ren's forehead with the tip of his finger to make sure he had lost most of his consciousness before saying, "Inject them both."
As his words fell, the scientist began to prepare syringes of different colors--one red and one blue.
The blue injection was given to Fang Ren, and the red was administered to Bai Xi.
Clearly, the blue medication was akin to a sedative, whereas the red one was meant to ensure Bai Xi's safe fusion with the energy inside Fang Ren's body.
The worry on Bai Chaojin's face had yet to fade; his eyes fixed on Fang Ren as if torn between hatred and helplessness.
"Fang Ren, Fang Ren... how did you come to meet Mu Huanqing, with whom you have nothing in common? Sigh!" Bai Chaojin was deeply troubled. "Without Mu Huanqing, you and I wouldn't have had so many conflicts."
"Commander," said a scientist with a grim expression, "speaking of which, Mu Huanqing remains a big problem. With Fang Ren and Princess Bai Xi having a child, Madame Xuan certainly won't let matters rest... We can't just kill Madame Xuan... We've already killed so many martyrs, the experiment for the benefit of humanity has succeeded; we can't harm our own kind anymore..."
"I already owe that child a great deal..." Bai Chaojin furrowed his brows. "I just hope she won't pose a threat to Qi'er's child, otherwise, I am prepared to risk my old life."
"Commander..."
There was a long silence in the air, everyone knew the kind of rage Mu Huanqing would unleash after the birth of Fang Ren and Bai Xi's child, but they needed to carry out the next phase of their plan.
They were concerned about the bigger picture, no matter what their fate would be or how the world would scorn them in the end, they would carry the experiment through to the last.
"After this experiment is successful," Bai Chaojin said, looking at the damaged ceiling, "just tell everyone that all the experiments were only carried out under my coercion. That way you all can survive, and no one will blame you."
"Commander! Why must you..."
"Commander! When we joined this organization, we never thought about living on with a good reputation!"
"Yes! Commander! If you've chosen to be the sinner, then we won't let you be one alone!"
"That's right!"
...
"Commander!"
As the crowd discussed the burden of guilt, suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed down from the broken elevator shaft.
His face was panicked, and as he took in the scene in the laboratory, he didn't have time to express his shock, but instead ran up to Bai Chaojin and shouted, "Commander! A Void beast has suddenly fallen from the sky in Tianjiang! The whole of Tianjiang is calling for reinforcements! According to the Generals, it might be the strongest Void beast that Earth has ever seen!"
Seeing the man barge in, Bai Chaojin was exceedingly angry, but upon hearing what the man had said, he didn't have the leisure to be upset.
Hearing this, a scientist immediately said, "Commander! It must be the master of this Serpent's head! The beast sensed its head being devoured, so it came straight here to take it back!"
Bai Chaojin frowned deeply and asked the middle-aged man, "Has that Void beast already surpassed the ninth order?"
```
"According to what the Generals personally reported, that Void Beast isn't anything like a typical Ninth-order Void Beast! As for information about it, all we know is that it's wrapped in black lightning, and its form can't be discerned!" the middle-aged man said.
"It really is that guy!"
Bai Chaojin's eyes fiercely fixed on the black snake head beside Fang Ren and spoke, "It seems we have no choice but to ask the Commander-in-Chief to take action!"
Humm—
Just then, another figure rushed into the destroyed elevator shaft—it was a Palace Guard from the Central Area.
He, too, was panic-stricken and immediately ran towards Bai Chaojin, shouting, "Commander! Disaster has struck! The Leader of Nightfall, Jiang Ling, has forced her way into our headquarters! The guards outside were all slapped away by her hand! We can't stop her!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chaojin became entirely furious. Why did Jiang Ling choose to come at precisely this time, of all times?
And this here is the command headquarters! Jiang Ling's forced entry meant that she was ready to fight them in a battle to the death!
At this moment, the Nine-headed Serpent Void Beast had already arrived at Tianjiang, and the lives of hundreds of millions were in peril. Princess Bai Xi's experiment was also still in progress, and that Void Beast was likely to head straight for the headquarters to reclaim its head!
Now Jiang Ling had appeared...
All these absolutely urgent situations were intermingling, making Bai Chaojin feel like exploding.
"You two go notify the Commander-in-Chief! I'll hold off Jiang Ling!" Bai Chaojin commanded the two men who had just burst in.
He then turned to a nearby researcher, his expression grave, and said, "As soon as the experiment is successful, immediately move Qi'er and Fang Ren to safety, we must preserve the fireseed!"
Having said that, he didn't linger on words, but immediately charged towards the ground with the two guards who had rushed in.
Seeing this, the group of researchers' expressions became even more serious—they had to accelerate the timeline now, as the Nine-headed Serpent had come to the surface surely for this one head.
"Energy transfer has reached thirty-five percent, and a breakthrough is on the horizon within Princess Bai Xi's body. Moreover, her bodily life functions have started to revive; she will awaken after this breakthrough!"
"The potion is taking effect! The underground tunnel is being opened in advance! After the experiment is complete, we'll find the best place for both the princess and young master Fang to preserve the fireseed!"
...
As Bai Chaojin rushed to the surface, the entire sky was filled with guardians and warriors from inside and outside the headquarters, soaring through the air, with a black streak continually scattering the soldiers of Tianjiang in the very center of the sky.
Innumerable warriors were scattered by the black streak and fell to the ground, severely injured, yet few had their lives threatened.
"Bai Chaojin!"
A wave of black energy from the streak repelled the guards miles away in the sky and instantly arrived above the headquarters. Jiang Ling, dressed in a red gown holding a black long sword, pointed down at Bai Chaojin who had just emerged, and angrily said, "Haven't you committed enough crimes! Are you even going to kill your own granddaughter!"
"Jiang Ling! You don't know shit!"
Seeing the group of severely injured guards on the ground, and with various urgent situations pressing on his heart, Bai Chaojin cursed, True Qi circulating throughout his body as he charged towards Jiang Ling.
