Mercenary Base.

Conference Room…

Crunch, crunch.

Hiss Hiss!

Gulp…

The projection screen was pitch black, but the audio from the 15 group members’ cameras was incredibly terrifying.

The giant python had swallowed everyone into its stomach.

But the cameras weren’t immediately destroyed…hence, all of them still transmitted audio.

It was horrifying and ghastly. Each of the VIPs of the mercenary base had taken part in bloody battles and killed countless people. But in the conference room, hearing such ghastly sounds, they all felt their scalps go numb. Even the surrounding air felt cold.

“Save this video footage for research purposes!” the person in charge of the mercenary base said. “I guess that’s it for today. Next, select the best of the organization’s mercenaries to go to Research Island! Oh, by the way, prepare ten rockets for them before they go! It’s very unlikely we’ll be able to capture that snake alive, but just getting some of its genes or blood will spell our victory.” After watching the murky footage on the projection screen and listening to the gruesome sounds, the person in charge of the mercenary base immediately stood up once he gave his orders and headed outside

The other high officials also didn’t bother to stay and watch.

They all stood up and left.

Of course, a plan for Research Island and the python was rapidly unfolding, and it definitely wouldn’t come to a halt because of everything that had just happened.

On the other side…

Donghai City.

A building fifty-stories tall was all owned by a single company.

A man in a tuxedo sat in one of the rooms. He had shiny oiled hair, a very fair complexion, and long, narrow eyes that gave people a sinister, chilling vibe. At that moment, this man was sitting at his desk, holding a document in his hand.

A woman wearing a white blouse and blue jeans was standing in front of him.

Her hair was curled up, exposing her forehead. She looked shrewd and capable.

“Mr. Ye! News just arrived from the travel company. All 16 of our company’s employees were killed in the Atlantic Ocean! Wang Dong, Li Yue, Wang Shengyun, and all the others were among them! There’s slim hope of finding Ye Bei.”

When the woman said this, her eyes were filled with disappointment… and they were also slightly red.

“It’s true! The chances of finding my brother are indeed very slim, but I’ve already hired several salvage companies, as well as search and rescue teams. Gu Yue, don’t worry! No matter what, I’ll find him!” The man looked at the file in his hand without so much as a trace of emotion on his face.

“Thank you… if there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave!”

The woman was Gu Yue, Ye Bei’s girlfriend.

After saying this, she turned around somewhat exhaustedly and started to walk towards the door.

But as soon as she turned around, the man grabbed her and held her.

“Gu Yue! There’s really no hope that my brother’s alive. Look, this time we let so many of our high-level executives go on a holiday over on the island, and in the end, not only did they not have any news, but we even had to sacrifice all of them. Our company has already suffered a huge blow! Now’s not the time to think about that kind of thing. Instead, we should be thinking about how to make the company better, so that my brother’s spirit in heaven will feel at ease.” Yes, this man was called Ye Shan! He was Ye Bei’s brother!

As for Gu Yue, she immediately started to struggle after Ye Shan abruptly grabbed her hand.

“Let go of me! Mr. Ye, please mind your behavior! I’ll never give up until I see Ye Bei’s body.”

Although Gu Yue was struggling, how could she rival Ye Shan’s strength?

On the contrary, a second later, Ye Shan forcefully yanked Gu Yue back and pressed her onto the desk.

Then he turned over and pressed her down.

“Gu Yue! I’m now the true boss and heir of this corporation! I’m destined to surpass my brother… In fact, there’s something I’ve been wanting to say for a long time now… how about you become my girl? I’ve always wanted to know what the golden boy’s woman tastes like.” There was excitement in his eyes, and his body trembled as he spoke. The calmness and composure he’d had earlier were nonexistent. He looked like a madman.

As he finished talking, he rubbed his lips all over Gu Yue as if he had gone crazy.

Clattering…

Bam!

Ah…

Sounds of a violent tussle came from the office.

Seizing an opportunity to extricate herself from his grasp, Gu Yue unhesitatingly hurled her feet directly into Ye Shan’s lower body.

Ye Shan immediately let out a piercing shriek.

She fled the office in a panic. She didn’t let Ye Shan succeed.

…She was misty-eyed as she ran away from the office. Lots of people who were there saw her come out of Ye Shan’s office and glanced at her.

And at that moment, in Ye Shan’s office…

“Bastard! That ****… who does she think she is?”

Ye Shan supported himself with one hand on the ground and stood up with great effort, all the while muttering indignantly to himself.

“Ye Bei is dead! And now, Wang Dong and the others are also dead… This is a great opportunity for me! Do you really think I’m just a puppet… those idiots never would’ve expected that they were just pawns! On my path to becoming a powerhouse, just anyone can be sacrificed.”

After Ye Shan slowly got to his feet, his eyes were bloodshot, and the office was filled with a murderous atmosphere from all his mutterings.

If Gu Yue heard him say this… she would definitely be stunned.

Ye Bei getting into an accident…

Wang Dong and the rest having an accident…

Ye Shan had arranged it all? That was simply too unbelievable!!!

However… Ye Bei didn’t know anything about all this just yet.

On Research Island…

Ye Bei calmly rested on the beach with his whole body stretched out. It wasn’t too hot on the beach, since he was a snake, and snakes are cold-blooded. He was enjoying the sun and sea, and his enjoyment was more profound than anything he’d felt as a human.

The warm sunlight fell on his red-and-black skin, making his body feel warm and comfy.

The waves would come and wash over him, cooling him off.

Then, the sun would heat his body up again…

And so forth.

After devouring all 16 people, gaining evolution points, and enjoying both these things at the same time, Ye Bei, who’d had his eyes closed for more than half an hour, suddenly jolted awake.

Ka-chak!

He opened his mouth slightly.

Then, he spit out a chip the size of a human thumb.

This chip was from those humans he had just killed.

As he looked at this chip, his enjoyment increasingly turned cold.
