135: If she dies, you will all be buried with her.

The leader led Tian Ming and Shen Yuan into the weapon laboratory. Heavy lead plates covered the wall in front of the giant cannon. The layout of the Laboratory resembled a CT room, with a thick radiation-proof door separating the experiment area, and even the observation window had a steel mesh to shield against ionizing radiation.

In the weapon laboratory, four or five members were fine-tuning the last parameters. At this point, the weapon's charging was complete. The leader said with a smile, "Brother, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Tian Ming looked through the observation window and saw that there were still staff inside, so he shook his head. If he went in, he wouldn't understand anything. How could a high school student comprehend such advanced weaponry?

But Shen Yuan, who was beside him, was very excited. She tugged at Tian Ming's sleeve and said, "Boss, I want to go in and see. This thing is definitely advanced technology. I don't want to miss this opportunity to broaden my horizons."

Tian Ming glanced at Shen Yuan. For this research prodigy, such a weapon laboratory was indeed her paradise.

"Alright, I'll take you in to see," Tian Ming said, looking at Shen Yuan with a hint of doting.

Shen Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Boss!"

The leader said to the researchers outside, "Open the door and let our esteemed guests go in and take a look."

The researcher said with a troubled expression, "Charging is complete. The area will be cleared in fifteen minutes, and the experiment will begin in twenty minutes. The people inside are currently checking the equipment. According to procedure, the door cannot be opened. Letting people in now would delay the experiment."

Shen Yuan quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll just take a look, five minutes at most. I won't interfere with their normal work."

The leader nodded and said to the researcher, "Let them go in and take a look, but don't delay too long."

The researcher was somewhat reluctant but still pressed the remote control in his hand, and the Laboratory's shielded door opened.

Shen Yuan eagerly ran inside, and Tian Ming followed her.

Inside the Laboratory, several people were preparing for the final procedures and were displeased to see people enter. But since these two were allowed by the leader, despite their displeasure, no one dared to raise an objection.

Shen Yuan excitedly walked to the front of the weapon, waved at Tian Ming, and said, "Boss, come over quickly and look!"

Tian Ming walked over and looked inside the cannon barrel. It was conical, like a small satellite receiver.

Shen Yuan looked at the muzzle, "This is the launch part of the directional energy weapon. I just don't know what the internal structure is like."

Tian Ming said with a smile, "If you're interested, once we get it back, I can let you study it at your leisure."

Suddenly, the muzzle flashed, and the air throughout the entire space became ionized. A faint blue light filled the test site. This duration was very short, only a few tenths of a second.

The staff conducting internal checks felt as if their entire bodies had been scorched, while Shen Yuan and Tian Ming, standing at the muzzle, felt it even more intensely. The entire Laboratory fell into a deathly silence. Just moments ago, this directional energy weapon emitted a high-energy pulse.

"Wah!" A staff member in the Laboratory reacted, collapsing directly to the ground and wailing. He knew that his DNA had been destroyed by the pulse radiation just now. Those checking the weapon in the weapon laboratory would likely not have a good end.

Tian Ming had an immortal body, so the pulse just now had no effect on him. He glanced at Shen Yuan, who was also a bit dazed.

She touched her nose, and sticky blood instantly flowed out. Shen Yuan and Tian Ming had received the most radiation.

"Boss, I..." Shen Yuan felt the world spinning, and her entire body went limp.

"Shen Yuan." Tian Ming reacted immediately and embraced Shen Yuan. Having absorbed a large amount of radiation, Shen Yuan had fallen into a deep coma.

Tian Ming's face instantly turned terrifyingly grim. The large cannon instantly disintegrated into a pile of powder. The Laboratory personnel within his control range were instantly immobilized. The thick steel partition wall also shattered and collapsed in that instant. The leader looked at Tian Ming with horror. That single pulse just now was enough to temporarily incapacitate Superpower Users. A Five-level Ability User would need over a month to recover from such radiation. But why, why was this person in front of him completely unaffected?

Originally, the leader felt a bit pained about sacrificing a few experimental personnel, but thinking that he could eliminate the threat of Tian Ming, he had gently patted the operator before entering the internal test site, and the operator understood the leader's meaning. Just as Shen Yuan and Tian Ming were in front of the muzzle, the operator directly delivered a pulse. Unfortunately, the leader miscalculated; high-energy radiation had no effect on him, even though he was standing directly in front of the directional radiation source.

At this moment, the entire base trembled due to Tian Ming's fury.

"You... what do you want to do? Brother, the pulse just now might have been a program error. Brother, spare my life." The leader's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He understood now; Tian Ming was not a Superpower User, but an even more powerful existence than a Superpower User.

"Error? Go explain it to the King of Hell." Tian Ming stared coldly at the leader. Countless metal particles penetrated his skin, entered his blood vessels, forming tiny steel needles that flowed with his blood. Every heartbeat brought a bone-deep pain.

The leader's face became extremely distorted with pain, and a piercing scream filled the Laboratory. In just one minute, the leader's blood vessels were filled with metal, his face twisted, and he died tragically on the spot.

Tian Ming carried Shen Yuan out of the Laboratory, and the personnel in the base respectfully cleared a path.

"Take me to the hospital!" Tian Ming's voice was cold, but the muscles in his face trembled slightly. If Shen Yuan died, then the entire base would have to be buried with her.

"It's useless, she can't be saved. Non-Ability Users, under such a radiation dose, can only last for three days at most." A man from the weapon laboratory immediately knelt down and said tremblingly.

Tian Ming's face instantly grew even darker, and the metal on the ground began to levitate: "Since she can't be saved, then you all die together."

"She can be saved, she can be saved! There's still one last hope. As long as she can become an Ability User before all her somatic cells die, she can survive."

The researcher from before, seeing Tian Ming about to act, quickly tried to stop him. His body was trembling like a sieve.

As a researcher, he knew that the success rate was extremely low; even for healthy individuals, the success rate of serum injection was only one percent. The cells in this girl's body were constantly dying, so the probability was probably as low as one in ten thousand or even worse. However, he didn't dare to say it. No matter what, they had to take a gamble.

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and take me there."
