#647 - Chapter 647 What is going on?

"Brother Zhang…," Dongfang Chen began, unsure how to broach the subject.

"What's wrong? Why are you beating around the bush?" Zhang Yuan Kui asked with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, you need to be mentally prepared," Dongfang Chen prefaced.

"Alright! Don't worry, I have a strong ability to handle pressure. Go ahead and speak," Zhang Yuan Kui said, chuckling.

"Shanshan…"

"What about Shanshan?" Zhang Yuan Kui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became anxious.

So much for a strong ability to handle pressure!

"Shanshan is… a Mutated," Dongfang Chen said, trying to soften the blow.

"Phew…" Zhang Yuan Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

Mutated is normal.

They all had received antigen serum injections, so it's not surprising at all that they became Mutated.

"It's nothing. I was mentally prepared when the child got the antigen injection. In this day and age, living is more important than anything else, don't you think?" Zhang Yuan Kui reassured him.

"But what if this mutation ability is a little too strong?" Dongfang Chen asked.

"That's a good thing. That way, she'll have a stronger ability to protect herself. I'd be happy about that."

"No, you don't understand what I mean. Her ability isn't just strong."

"Not just strong? What? Did she advance to Tier 2?" Zhang Yuan Kui seemed to realize something.

"No," Dongfang Chen shook his head.

It would be better to guide him to say it himself, so he can accept it more easily.

"Then it's…" Zhang Yuan Kui was somewhat puzzled.

"Higher than Tier 2."

"Higher than Tier 2? That's impossible, right? No one in our team has advanced to Tier 2 yet," Zhang Yuan Kui was skeptical.

"Absolutely true!" Dongfang Chen said with great certainty.

"Could it be Tier 3? That's a bit too exaggerated, isn't it? When did this happen?" Zhang Yuan Kui thought Tier 3 was the limit.

"Guess higher!" Dongfang Chen said.

"Ah? Forget it, I'm not guessing anymore, just tell me!" Zhang Yuan Kui replied.

That's as far as his imagination could go, he didn't dare to think any further.

Dongfang Chen thought the time was right and said directly:

"Shanshan is a Tier 7 Mutated."

"…"

Zhang Yuan Kui was stunned for a long time.

"April Fool's Day is over, what are you playing at?" Zhang Yuan Kui didn't believe it at all.

"Brother Zhang, it's really true. This matter is very strange and involves a great deal. So…"

Dongfang Chen wanted to say that he should be mentally prepared.

But after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

"Xiao Chen, you're joking with me, right? You know Shanshan, she hasn't gone anywhere since entering the base. How could she be a Tier 7 Mutated? There must be something wrong here," Zhang Yuan Kui replied.

His mood was already somewhat complicated.

Whether his daughter was Tier 1 or Tier 7 were two completely different concepts.

If it was Tier 1, that would be normal.

But Tier 7, there was a problem.

Currently, the base couldn't even cultivate Tier 2, let alone Tier 7. That is to say, Shanshan might have some connection with the Mani Order.

But how was that possible?

How could an underage girl be involved with a cult?

"There is a problem. That's why I'm calling you in advance to inform you."

"Xiao Chen, Shanshan definitely has no problems, I guarantee it with my life!" How could Zhang Yuan Kui bear to see his daughter in danger?

But at the same time, he was clear that Dongfang Chen couldn't possibly ignore this matter.

A Tier 7 Mutated staying in the base was simply too risky.

"Brother Zhang, I don't need your guarantee. I can delegate this matter to you, you handle it yourself," Dongfang Chen replied.

"Alright! Thank you!" Zhang Yuan Kui didn't say anything more.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you," Dongfang Chen said.

"Tell me." Shanshan's matter was already a big deal, he didn't think there could be anything more serious than that.

"Your lover is also a Mutated."

"This… it's not also Tier 7, is it?" Zhang Yuan Kui guessed.

If it wasn't Tier 7, Dongfang Chen wouldn't be so solemn.

"That's right," Dongfang Chen admitted.

"Really! What… what exactly is going on!" Zhang Yuan Kui was on the verge of collapse.

It felt like the whole sky was falling at this moment.

If it was finally discovered that they were really cult members, how would this end?

He really didn't know if he would have the courage to put family loyalty aside at that time.

"Brother Zhang, you need to stabilize your emotions first. I need you to return to Bartow City base now to figure out their true identities. At the same time, also find out why they are Tier 7 Mutated," Dongfang Chen comforted.

"Alright! I'll leave right away!" Zhang Yuan Kui calmed down.

After all, he was a man who had come from the battlefield, and his willpower was much stronger than the average person.

April 9th, 12:00 noon.

Zhang Yuan Kui arrived in Bartow City.

Sun Zhuo was still trapped outside the prison, struggling.

In front of him, there seemed to be countless barriers, breaking through one, and there was another.

Even if it was Tier 7, continuously overcoming so many barriers, he gradually became physically exhausted.
