Charge forward, all you infantry and archers! …… The sudden appearance of White Dragon startled everyone present. The Mosquito Beast-Man slowly straightened up from the wall, wiping the blood from his mouth, his eyes fixed coldly on White Dragon. "You dare lay a hand on me? Commander Wang won't let you off!"

White Dragon sneered. "Fighting you one-on-one, you're no match. But if you call for backup, I'll beat that Wang bastard so badly he'll be crawling on the ground looking for his teeth!"

The man’s mouth twitched, and he glared at White Dragon with venom. "You will regret this."

White Dragon scoffed, turning to Ye Chen. "Boss, what should we do with trash like this?"

Ye Chen glanced at the Mosquito Beast-Man with cold indifference. "Kill."

"That's my Boss for you!" White Dragon roared with laughter, then turned back to the man, towering over him. "Hey little friends, did you hear that? My Boss has spoken. None of you are walking out of here today."

The three of them, including the Mosquito Beast-Man, watched as White Dragon, covered in fierce black stripes, shifted his expression. The youth who had been openly displeased with Ye Chen gritted his teeth. "He has Cheetah genes. Ma Fei, you're an Ant Super Soldier—tie him up. Once his Super Mode runs out, I'll finish them off."

"Got it," the other man nodded, letting out a low cry as he activated his Super State. A pair of antennae sprouted from his forehead. In the Apocalypse, the Ant Super Soldier gene was quite common. While common, it didn't mean this type of gene was weak; in fact, it was extremely powerful.

White Dragon sneered. "Think you can stop me?" With a flicker of movement, he lunged toward the man, his true target being the Mosquito Beast-Man.

Cheetah Super Soldier: Tier 1: Stamina increased by 5x, Speed increased by 10x, Neural Reaction Speed increased by 10x, Arm Strength increased by 10x, Cellular Vitality increased by 5x, Physical Strength increased by 10x. The Cheetah's special talent is relatively ordinary: the internal structure of its claws is modified, the edges serrated with countless tiny gears and barbs. Once it scratches an enemy, it directly destroys the genes and cells in the blood, rendering the wound incapable of healing unless that specific portion of flesh is severed. Many types of Super Soldiers possess similar talents. For instance, if scratched by a Spider Super Soldier, the wound would become infected with potent venom, causing the skin to rot and the injury to refuse healing, an effect that is even stronger.

Whoosh.

White Dragon arrived before the Mosquito Beast-Man in an instant, his speed so blinding that even the Ant Super Soldier named Ma Fei couldn't hope to keep up. Ants primarily excel in strength, not speed; despite having immense power, their speed boost relies mostly on brute force. One must remember that running speed is governed by numerous factors: aerodynamics, the law of gravity, air resistance, and one’s own physical structure. A cheetah, for example, has a unique physical structure, nasal design, and internal respiratory and circulatory systems entirely different from other animals, all contributing to its incredible velocity and ability to maintain high-speed sprints.

"Die," White Dragon snarled, throwing a punch at the Mosquito Beast-Man. The latter’s face changed drastically as he tried to dodge, but his neural reaction speed and physical conditioning were no match for White Dragon. He was sent flying, his head exploding from a single blow, his body slumping lifelessly to the ground. The Mosquito Beast-Man was merely an auxiliary Super Soldier, capable of detoxifying and healing allies. In combat, he was utterly weak—a lamb for slaughter without the protection of powerful teammates.

After killing the Mosquito Beast-Man with one punch, White Dragon grinned wickedly and charged toward the speaking youth, aiming to eliminate that obstacle first. Just then, Ma Fei, now in his Ant Super Soldier state, roared and threw himself in front of the youth, meeting White Dragon head-on with a massive punch. The Ant Super Soldier state increased strength by 20x, but speed by only 5x. This is why Ye Chen often employed the most savage and violent methods in battle—meeting force with overwhelming force was the Ant's way. Ma Fei had a base Constitution of 30. In his Ant Super State, his strength reached level 600, and his speed level 150. He stood like an unmoving shield before the young man, poised and watchful, waiting for White Dragon’s move.

White Dragon frowned, utilizing his incredible speed to circle Ma Fei, searching for a gap. Time ticked by. Every time White Dragon approached, Ma Fei blocked him. A direct clash meant Ma Fei could severely injure him with a single punch. Knowing his Super Mode time was limited, White Dragon began to feel frustrated.

At that critical moment, the youth suddenly activated his Super State. His eyes instantly turned into pale yellow, amber snake eyes. His tongue forked out, flickering constantly. His entire skin seemed coated in oil, unnaturally glossy. His bones emitted loud crackling sounds as they rapidly shifted, and a pair of ferocious fangs sprouted around his mouth.

Green Bamboo Viper Super Soldier: Tier 1: Stamina increased by 2x, Speed increased by 2x, Neural Reaction Speed increased by 6x, Arm Strength increased by 10x, Cellular Vitality increased by 5x, Physical Strength increased by 10x. Special Talent: Entire skeletal structure is malleable, allowing for extreme contraction and deformation. Both nails and teeth are infused with potent venom. This youth was a Viper Super Soldier. Upon entering his Super State, his expression turned menacing. He grinned sinisterly at White Dragon. "Your Super Mode is about to expire, isn't it? Prepare to die."

White Dragon roared in fury and lunged forward. Ma Fei quickly moved to intercept, planting himself in front of the youth and blasting a punch toward White Dragon. Sensing the fierce wind of the punch, White Dragon's face shifted slightly, and he hastily retracted his own blow, pulling back in obvious anger. Moments later, he reverted from his Super State to normal, the leopard stripes vanishing beneath his skin. At the same time, Ma Fei also deactivated his Ant Super Mode, reverting to a normal man.

"Heh heh, now you're all dead meat!" the youth hissed, his bright red tongue flicking out as he darted toward White Dragon. Ye Chen’s eyes turned icy as he prepared to intervene.

Just then— A series of loud footsteps thundered toward them, sounding like the approach of a giant. Instantly, a figure appeared in Ye Chen's sightline: radiating dense power, standing eight feet tall with a robust physique, short black hair, and gripping a heavy staff in his hand.

"Who the hell is asking to die? Dare to touch my Boss?" Yue Heng walked up to White Dragon, turned, and glared at the youth, taking a threatening step forward. "Are you looking for death?"

The youth froze, startled by Yue Heng’s ferocious appearance. He felt a surge of despair: Who are these people? One after another, how many helpers does this guy have?

"Are you all in such a hurry to reincarnate?" At that moment, two more figures sprinted up from behind: Zhuge Fan and Mo Feng. They hadn't activated their Super Modes. Upon arriving, they immediately spotted Ye Chen. Zhuge Fan's eyes lit up. "Brother Ye!"

Ye Chen nodded. "Long time no see."

Zhuge Fan muttered quietly, "Why are you still so cold? Not even a hint of a smile."

The youth stared at the succession of arrivals, his jaw slack. After a long moment, he swallowed hard and hastily declared, "It’s all a misunderstanding! If there’s nothing else, I should be going now."

Yue Heng frowned, turning to Ye Chen to await his command.

Ye Chen stated flatly, "Kill." They had to kill him. Ye Chen didn't want this youth spreading rumors or attempting covert sabotage later. Since the line had already been crossed, eliminating him was the cleanest solution.

"You got it, Boss!" Yue Heng grinned widely. This was the Boss he knew. He looked down at the youth with a cold sneer and sprang forward.

"Die!" Whoosh! A heavy strike came down.

The youth’s face darkened, and he tried to evade. His body was surprisingly agile, shifting several yards with a slight movement. However, the staff—a natural enemy of snakes—whirled fiercely in Yue Heng's hands. Two sweeping blows struck the youth's neck, instantly snapping the vertebrae.

Ma Fei, standing nearby, turned pale with terror and tried to flee, but he was quickly crushed by another powerful swing of the staff.

Yue Heng lowered his weapon, deactivated his Super State, and his body crackled as his imposing physique shrank slightly, losing its aggressive bulk.

Zhuge Fan laughed playfully. "Killing someone in the General's Barracks, eh?"

Yue Heng roared with exhilaration. "Awesome! So satisfying!"

The group burst into laughter, completely unconcerned.

White Dragon looked at Ye Chen. "When did you get back? Why didn't you let us know so we could celebrate?"

Ye Chen gathered the corpses into his Rune Space casually. "Nothing major. We'll have a chance to celebrate next time."

White Dragon looked at the bloodstains on the ground. "What about this mess?"

Ye Chen shrugged. "They're already dead. Why worry about it?"

Zhuge Fan's smile faded. "But the Base City will find out. Should we leave the Base City now?"

Ye Chen shook his head. "They won't find out. I checked; none of these guys carried a General's Token. Even though the city is covered in surveillance cameras, I’ll have Elvira clip this segment later. We’ll dispose of the bodies and erase all evidence."

Yue Heng was momentarily stunned, then let out a wry smile. When it came to covering tracks, no one seemed to surpass Ye Chen.

"Sigh," White Dragon lamented. "There are more and more Super Soldiers in the Base City now. Relying on their boosted combat power in Super Mode, they're becoming increasingly arrogant. Some who only had Strength Level teens can now challenge Generals and Commanders in their 30s and 40s because of their Super States."

Ye Chen was unperturbed. "This situation is inevitable once the Super Modification Technology is made public. That's why these big shots take on subordinates—if someone steps out of line, they send a subordinate to exhaust the opponent's Super Mode before finishing them off."
