Chapter 17 – Wanted No.2

Read in 11.1 mintues

“Xu Yue is dead.”

Ming Guang said as he drove.

“Dead?” Zhou Xiangzhe raised his eyelids slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, “Who dealt with him?”

How did he not know that there was such a powerful mutant in Central City, and one that could deal with a level A pollutant in such a short time.

“I don’t know, he died suddenly, and his ward has been burned.” Ming Guang sighed, “It happened last night, and Xu Yue’s body was taken away by the Academy of Sciences this morning. They said they wanted to study why he was able to hide in District S and not be discovered until now.”

Zhou Xiangzhe’s expression wasnโ€™t very good when he heard about the Academy of Sciences.

Shen Wang looked at his expression with some interest. Zhou Xiangzhe was a cold person. He had a cold tone and didn’t like to talk much. He was mostly silent, but this coldness did not mean contempt, he was just born like this. But this time Shen Wang clearly noticed his slight disgust.

“Do you hate the Academy of Sciences?” Shen Wang asked curiously.

“The Academy of Sciences once conducted a human experiment to ‘enhance the abilities of mutants’ and asked Zhou Xiangzhe to be the first to undergo human transformation as a benchmark, but he refused.” Ming Guang answered for Zhou Xiangzhe while driving: “This transformation failed. A year later, all mutants who had undergone transformation had problems with increased pollution.”

This time Zhou Xiangzhe wasnโ€™t sitting in the back seat. He sat in the co-pilot seat, and his golden eyes stared at Shen Wang through the front mirror.

He took over the conversation after realizing that Shen Wang was really curious about this topic.

“They think that if they succeed once, they will succeed a second time. They use completely substandard experimental results to treat people as guinea pigs. I hate that the Academy of Sciences does not treat human lives as important.”

Ming Guang sighed, “Everyone says: There are two groups of lunatics in this world, one in District S and one in the Academy of Sciences.”

“Their only successful experimental subject also betrayed them, and in the end, they did not produce any results except creating an S-level dual-ability enemy for humans.”

“Not everyone is [Codename Lan].”

Zhou Xiangzhe said: “Lan’s success only shows that he has the qualifications to be an S-level mutant.”

“The Academy of Sciences just won a prize, an unprecedented S-level grand prize in that batch of experimental subjects.”

Shen Wang listened to them, then turned on his phone and searched for [Codename Lan] in the internal database of mutants.

As a member of Polaris, he has high authority and can see information that ordinary mutants cannot see.

Soon, the information loaded.

[Codename Lan: The only successful experiment subject of the Academy, wanted No. 2, S-level dual-ability mutant, he defected and attacked the Academy five years ago, causing the “destruction of the old Academy”, “the escape of all the experiment subjects of the Academy”, and “the pollution of the old Academy”. ]

[It has been confirmed that one of his abilities is Prophecy, while the other is still unknown. ]

[His range of movement is around the new Academy laboratory, and he has been waiting and sniping the Academy experimental base for a long time. The last observed location is: Academy Laboratory No. 3. ]

[Those who enter the wanted list must be treated the same as pollutants, and the danger level is SS. ]

Shen Wang: …wow.

/

As a victim, Shen Wang was released after his pollution level was tested. Ming Guang sent him back to the community. Shen Wang looked at this shabby building where he hadnโ€™t returned for a few days and felt that he even missed it a little.

After going upstairs, he found that the neighboring door that he had kicked broken had been repaired. I wonder if there are new neighbors living there.

Better not. Listening to quarrels is really annoying.

Shen Wang yawned and opened the door of his house with the key, but he was slightly stunned when the door opened.

There was a melodious sound of music in the room. It was the music he collected. The song being played was called “Hometown”1, which was a song from the old times. The singer was a man, his singing was full of emotion and his heroic voice was full of nostalgia.

However, Shen Wang did not remember turning on the music before leaving, nor did he remember that there was another person in his house.

He took a step back and looked at the house number, and then looked at the facilities in the room.

Yes, this is his home.

Shen Wang raised his eyebrows slightly.

As if he heard the sound, the young man who was sitting on the sofa in the living room listening to music and reading a book raised his head, making his hood fall because of the movement. Shen Wang also saw his eyebrows clearly. There was an inorganic coldness in his silver-purple eyes. Compared to Zhou Xiangzhe’s superficial coldness, this person’s coldness was ruthlessly deep imprinted in his bones.

Shen Wang closed the door with his hands behind his back but did not walk over.

“Who are you?” he asked.

The young man’s eyes fell on him, his hood lifted a little, revealing his extremely thin chin, and his silver-purple eyes that were neither sad nor happy.

Compared with Zhou Xiangzhe, this guy’s threat is much stronger.

This is based on the fact that Zhou Xiangzhe is a good person. He is the Guardian of Central City. Zhou Xiangzhe will not do anything that is detrimental to humans, and will not hurt anyone wantonly, but this person is different. Shen Wang knew at the first glance that this is a madman who can and will implicate others just to do what he wants.

“In the old days, many people thought that “Hometown” was an alternative love song. It was sung to one’s hometown, to one’s past self and one’s family when one was young.” The young man spoke in a cold voice, “Shen Wang, you should be called by this name now.”

“Do you still remember your hometown?”

“I think you probably don’t remember it, because I don’t remember it either. People are forgetful creatures, including me. I don’t remember the life of when I was young.”

The young man turned off the music player, “But do you want to go home?”

He lifted his hood, and Shen Wang was stunned.

Because the appearance of the young man in front of him had a strange sense of familiarity, this familiarity made Shen Wang, who was not afraid, feel creepy.

It took Shen Wang three seconds to realize the source of this feeling.

Because the young man in front of him looked similar to him, and we could even say that their eyebrows were exactly the same…

They looked alike, like brothers.

“You…!”

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Lan.” The young man looked at Shen Wang quietly while holding a book. “I am your brother, whom you have never met.”

“Of course, we met when we were young. I still remember you, but you were too young to remember me.”

“That’s great. I finally found you.”

Shen Wang was shocked.

He still remembered the name Lan because he had just searched for his information on the way home.

Codename Lan, wanted No. 2, the only successful experimental subject of the Academy of Sciences, an S-level dual-ability mutant, and the only SS-level danger who frequently targeted the Academy of Sciences after defecting.

What is he talking about? Acknowledge him as a relative? His brother? Are you kidding?

“I will explain everything to you.”

Lan didn’t seem to care about Shen Wang’s doubts about life. He just said very lightly: “Given our appearance, you should believe it a little.”

“No, whether I believe it or not doesn’t prevent you from explaining.”

After being surprised, Shen Wang calmed down. He spread his hands and didn’t feel at a loss for the current situation.

Please, he has been a patient in the hospital for so many years. He has seen so many life changes. It is impossible for him to be scared by such a small situation.

And to be honest, he doesn’t have much desire to find his family.

When he was a child, he lived in an orphanage and had only one friend. Later, he lived in a hospital. Although he was adopted in name, it was just a fake name filled in by the hospital. In the hospital, he had already seen the complexity of the so-called family.

Some people kneeled on the ground and prayed to God to save their families, while others signed the consent form for giving up treatment with cold eyes, completely ignoring the pleading eyes of the patients.

Shen Wang never expected that the family he had never met was the former. He even thought that his family had died in the early days of the apocalypse. There were too many children like him whose parents died.

No expectations, no disappointment.

So Shen Wang asked with interest: “Tell me what happened.”

Lan looked into Shen Wang’s eyes. His eyes were still calm, and he seemed a little surprised at Shen Wang’s calmness, but a few seconds later he smiled, and the coldness in his eyes melted instantly because of this smile. At that moment, this gloomy and indifferent man wearing black seemed to melt his coldness.

His smile was gentle and beautiful, but he would only be like this when facing Shen Wang.

“Okay.” He smiled and said, “I will tell you everything.”

Then Shen Wang heard what seemed like a fantasy story.

Compared to Shen Wang, who had been in an orphanage since he could remember, Lan still had memories of his childhood. He was three years older than Shen Wang and was five years old when he was separated from Shen Wang.

He still remembered that he had a father and a mother. In his vague memory, his father was tall and steady, his mother was gentle and beautiful, and his younger brother was just learning to speak. His mother would hold his younger brother and take him out to bask in the sun when the sun was bright. His father would go to work every day and hug them when he came back at night.

They were a beautiful family. Until one day, a group of people went into their home.

Lan had almost forgotten what this group of people did. He only remembered that his mother asked them to leave immediately and asked them to “hide among humans.”

Their home disappeared, and their parents disappeared. Lan and his younger brother were discovered by an early dispatch team and were taken into the high walls of human civilization, but they were separated and sent to different orphanages.

In order to find his younger brother, Lan escaped from the orphanage, but was caught by the Academy of Sciences, which at the time was selecting experimental subjects.

“Since then, I have been locked up in the Academy of Sciences and couldnโ€™t leave, and I could no longer find your trace, until yesterday, when I finally saw you in the future.”

“Future?” Shen Wang remembered Lan’s ability [Prophecy].

Lan opened the book in his hand and stared at it, “Well, the future.”

Shen Wang walked over, but what he saw was an empty book with pieces of white paper, but without a single word on it.

Lan looked particularly strange in this state, especially his silver-purple eyes, which made him look more similar to a pollutant than a normal person.

“What’s wrong with your eyes?” Shen Wang asked him.

“Eyes?” Lan turned his head to look at Shen Wang, then he lowered his eyelids slightly. Shen Wang unexpectedly saw that his eyes became darker and darker, and finally turned into a deep black.

“You can do this kind of thing, right?” Lan tilted his head, with a little doubt in his dark eyes.

Shen Wang: …

Wait a minute?

Shen Wang always knew that he was strange. What made him strange was his genetic disease, which brought him a strong appetite for pollutants, and even made him smell tempting for pollutants when he got sick. He always knew that his disease wasnโ€™t very human.

It seems that Lan also has a similar disease, and he even thought that it was normal.

Damn, aren’t they more and more certainly brothers? !

“Plunder.” Lan uttered a word.

“The ability of being able to plunder other pollutants for my own use is inherited from my father.”

“Because our father is at the top of the Zero Pollution Site, an absolute king who rules over all pollutants, the SSS-level pollutant [Tyrant].

Lan said in a tone that was self-evident that it was arrogant:

“What’s theirs is ours, it’s that simple.”
