98: Clouded Leopard

Linjiang City, the provincial capital of Linjiang Province.

This is a developed and incredibly prosperous city, with skyscrapers standing tall and dense, ranking among the top cities nationwide.

Tianjiang Pharmaceutical Group is a top-tier pharmaceutical group across the country, with a considerable reputation even internationally.

In the heart of Linjiang City, a headquarters building exclusively belonging to Tianjiang Pharmaceutical Group stands on the ground, like a towering giant, overlooking this land!

The top floor of the building.

The Silver-haired Man stood in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Linjiang City, his expression indifferent.

“Sir, the original base was discovered by them just a few minutes ago.”

Inside the room, several people were reporting important matters to him.

“Oh, what was the outcome?”

The Silver-haired Man did not turn around, still looking out the window, a cold sneer playing at the corners of his mouth.

“Nearly all of the hundreds of National Security members who went in died; only one person survived.”

A man in a suit said respectfully.

“Oh, someone survived? Interesting, who is he?”

The Silver-haired Man turned around, silver light faintly swirling in his pupils, exuding an astonishing aura.

“It's Song Sheng from the National Security Bureau.”

The man in the suit replied respectfully.

“It’s him. If we leave him be, he will ultimately be a threat. Find an opportunity to eliminate him.”

A hint of surprise flashed across the Silver-haired Man's face, then he issued the command indifferently.

“Sir, the situation in Dayang Mountain these past few days is indeed as you predicted; a large number of creatures have begun to frequently charge down the mountain.”

“Just now, a beast tide erupted in Dayang Mountain. Countless Mutated Creatures formed a beast tide and broke through the defensive line organized by the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau.”

Another man also began his report.

The Silver-haired Man's gaze became brilliant, silver light shining: “Indeed, there is an extraordinary creature hidden within Dayang Mountain. It should be able to control creatures across species.”

“This creature is of great use to our organization and must be obtained. The headquarters has personally issued an order for this, making this mission our most important task for the near future.”

“We are willing to go through fire and water for the organization's supreme cause!”

The men all shouted respectfully.

“White Blade is back, right? This mission will be entrusted to him.”

After saying this, the Silver-haired Man turned back around, overlooking the city below, his eyes shining with brilliant silver light.

The men discreetly withdrew... Yangjiang Town.

After a while, everyone had initially treated their wounds, bandaging them with white medical gauze.

Brother Niu also briefly explained the general situation to his fans.

“What do we do now? Let’s call the Security Officer first.”

Ye Yun said.

“I just called, but couldn’t get through. Combined with the bird calls and screams we heard earlier, this situation might be quite serious.”

Lin Fei shook his head. Although he was young, his experiences during this period had made him a little more mature and steady.

“Let’s just wait. The country must know about the situation here. We just need to wait for rescue with peace of mind.”

Lin Fei said.

“We can’t really do anything in this state. Let’s just wait patiently.”

Everyone looked at each other with bitter smiles, all of them injured.

“Stop.”

Chen Xu suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked at him in confusion but stopped talking. Brother Niu also stopped interacting with the live stream.

“The sounds are gone.”

Lin Fei also noticed and said.

“My smart lock can show the outside. Let me check.”

Ye Yun said, walking to the anti-theft door and tapping a screen on the smart lock. The screen immediately lit up, displaying the view outside.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the screen, only to see that there were no rats outside, as if they had all fled.

“They all left?”

A burly man said with some uncertainty.

“Don’t open the door yet. In movies, at times like this, going out would definitely mean doom. We absolutely cannot go out.”

Chen Xu hurriedly said.

“Mhm, don’t worry, we’re not idiots. We definitely won’t go out.”

Brother Niu showed a reassuring smile.

Just then, a huge figure walked into the screen’s surveillance view.

Everyone’s expressions immediately changed.

This was a massive creature, even larger than a typical tiger.

Its entire body was golden yellow, covered in black markings like ancient copper coins, with a huge head and sharp teeth that made one's heart almost stop.

This was clearly a mutated leopard! Also commonly known as a Golden Coin Leopard (Mutated Leopard)!

“Now we know why those rats disappeared.”

Brother Niu said in a hushed voice.

Facing such a ferocious giant beast, no one knew if this anti-theft door could withstand its attack.

No wonder those rats had all left.

Suddenly, the leopard outside turned its head, its yellow pupils emitting a cold, incredibly menacing light!

Everyone inside froze, exchanging glances, unable to believe that such quiet words had attracted the attention of the leopard outside.

They dared not move, hoping the leopard had just coincidentally looked their way.

However, events unfolded differently than they had hoped.

The next moment, the leopard suddenly moved, its body shooting forward like a gust of wind. Its front paws rose, and it swiped.

“Boom!”

With a terrifying sound, the entire metal anti-theft door let out a huge noise, and the door frame shook violently.

This sudden, terrifying scene scared everyone back several steps, their hearts nearly leaping out of their chests.

“Damn, damn, damn! What kind of ghost leopard is this! Is this strength for real?!”

Ye Yun was so scared that he swore profusely.

“Oh my god, quickly get something to block it! This door won’t hold!”

Lin Fei had already seen part of the door frame deform and quickly shouted.

“Quick, quick, quick!”

Everyone finally reacted and rushed to move tables and chairs.

“Boom!”

However, another huge sound rang out, startling them.

The metal anti-theft door frame was completely destroyed, and even the metal anti-theft door itself was knocked to the ground, making a heavy thud.

A terrifying, giant Golden Coin Leopard stood outside the door, taller than an adult man, its bloodthirsty gaze fixed on everyone inside.

A terrifying oppressive force swept over them, making their legs tremble with fear.

“Don’t come any closer! I’m known as Brother Niu, and I’ve practiced the dog-beating staff technique…”

Brother Niu raised his hand, brandishing the iron rod he held, and added a loud shout, hoping to scare away the super Golden Coin Leopard.

The eight burly men quickly followed suit, waving their iron rods and making guttural noises.

Lin Fei and the other two, without weapons, also grabbed the chairs they had just moved and made low growling sounds.

Facing all of this, the Golden Coin Leopard remained unmoved, its bloodthirsty gaze falling upon them, almost suffocating everyone.

“Da da da!”

Just then, a deafening burst of gunfire rang out.

The Golden Coin Leopard’s body, like a flash of lightning, left its original spot, retreating several meters, while simultaneously turning its head to look in one direction.

“Roar!”

The Golden Coin Leopard seemed enraged, letting out a huge roar that made Lin Fei and the others' ears ache.

The next moment, the Golden Coin Leopard charged at the person who had fired the gun in the distance, moving at a terrifying speed.

“Someone saved us?”

Lin Fei and the others were first stunned, then their faces lit up with joy, and they quickly ran outside.

They soon discovered a team of Security Officers approaching in the distance. Between them was an incredibly fierce Golden Coin Leopard, enduring the threat of bullets as it charged towards the Security Officers.

The Golden Coin Leopard’s speed was frighteningly fast, and it used the dense terrain of the village houses to dodge bullets and outflank the Security Officer team.

“Damn, what kind of movement technique does this leopard have?!”

Lin Fei and the others were greatly astonished.

Soon, the Golden Coin Leopard approached the Security Officer team, leaping out from an alley between houses and attacking them.

“Beast, I’ve been waiting for you!”

A Security Officer who had been facing that direction without firing a shot, sneered, suddenly pulled out a submachine gun, and sprayed bullets, riddling the Golden Coin Leopard.

Seeing this, the worry that had just reached Lin Fei and the others' hearts finally dissipated.
