Chapter 525: Chapter 534: Sending You to Reunite with Them
These people were like the living dead. They had human brains, but their bodies were no longer human.
And they had no thoughts of their own, mere puppets to be controlled.
This was Stella Sterling’s guess, based on what she was seeing.
’I knew long ago that Sanctyr Base was experimenting on the living dead.’
’They want to build a Superpowered Squad that is completely loyal to them.’
Stella Sterling knew this, but it was her first time seeing these people in person.
’I wonder what other abilities they have, besides being the living dead?’
’Sanctyr Base has invested so much into this research; they wouldn’t have created a bunch of useless test subjects. I’m actually quite curious about them.’
At this thought, Stella Sterling’s heart began to race with excitement.
Zane Xavier, who was with the Three Tigers Corps, saw the people behind Evan Sterling, and his eyes went wide.
’How is that possible? Aren’t these experiments still in the research phase? Don’t tell me they’ve already succeeded?’
At this thought, Zane Xavier’s heart trembled.
He had been put at ease after seeing how powerful Miss Sterling was.
But upon seeing these living dead, worry and fear began to creep back in.
’Miss Sterling... can she handle them?’
"What’s wrong?"
Hunter Night noticed something was amiss and asked worriedly.
Zane Xavier whispered, "These are the living dead from Sanctyr Base’s secret research. Based on the direction of their previous studies, they want to turn these people into superpower users who are completely loyal to them. Each one has extraordinary combat prowess. They’re not something an ordinary person can handle!"
As he spoke, Zane Xavier looked toward Stella Sterling with worry.
’Honestly, the Boss is already incredibly powerful. If not for this unexpected turn of events, she could have truly made history today: destroyed this private base, become the new legend of Veridia, and replaced Sanctyr Base as the ruler of this region.’
’But of course, the unexpected had to happen. I can’t believe Dr. Quinn actually managed to create these Human Body Warriors.’
’Now things have gotten complicated.’
Hunter Night was also surprised when he heard this. He hadn’t expected Sanctyrion Base to be conducting such research. ’What are they trying to do?’
They had heard some rumors about Sanctyr Base, so they knew the base had an insatiable demand for corpses.
But they never knew what Sanctyr Base used them for.
Only now did they understand. So this was the experiment they were for.
’And they actually succeeded.’
Hunter Night started to worry as well. He then glanced at Zane Xavier.
’How does this Brother Xavier know so much about Sanctyr Base?’
’This is the kind of thing Sanctyr Base would never reveal to anyone but their own personnel. How could an outsider possibly know?’
’Could it be... that Brother Xavier is...?’
"Dr. Quinn, you’ve worked hard lately, but it’s all paid off. From now on, you will be a great hero to my Sanctyr Base."
Miles Sanctus walked up to Evan Sterling and patted him on the shoulder.
The brilliant smile had returned to his face.
’I have to admit, Stella Sterling is truly formidable. Her preparations were more than thorough. Without us even realizing it, she’d already done so much and caught Sanctyr Base completely off guard.’
’But Stella Sterling has no idea... that I still have a trump card like this.’
’So, Stella Sterling is destined to fall by my hand.’
He looked at Stella Sterling, shaking his head with a sigh. "Miss Sterling, you are a beautiful woman. I had intended to treat you gently, to use a softer touch when dealing with you. But I never expected you to harbor such ambition, to bring my Sanctyr Base to this state!"
"It seems you have no intention of accepting the marriage alliance I proposed. In that case, I’ll just capture you. And when I do, your Caeluna Base will be mine all the same."
Hearing this, Stella Sterling smiled. "Don’t be so sure of yourself. You might have to eat those words!"
In response, Miles Sanctus offered no rebuttal.
’Stella Sterling has never witnessed the power of these Human Body Warriors, which is why she can still talk so tough. Soon enough, she’ll realize just how ignorant she is.’
The members of Caeluna Base, holding Selene Larkin captive, moved closer to Stella Sterling. Their eyes were filled with apprehension as they stared at the figures behind Evan Sterling.
At that moment, Stella Sterling also noticed something was off with Black Swan and Seven Locke. After a glance in their direction, Black Swan leaned close to Stella Sterling and whispered, "Boss, when we fell into Caleb Xavier’s trap before, one of the reasons was that he also had a squad just like this one!"
"Those things... they’re not quite human. They’re bizarre, as if they don’t fear death or feel pain. Their combat strength is immense, and their abilities are unusual. They’re a real pain to deal with. You have to be careful!"
Black Swan’s voice was grave. The huge loss they’d suffered at Caleb Xavier’s hands was largely because of these strange creatures.
’I can’t believe Sanctyr Base has them too.’
Hearing this, Stella Sterling was slightly surprised. ’Caleb Xavier has these Human Body Warriors, too?’
When she remembered that Caleb Xavier was likely also a reincarnator, Stella Sterling wasn’t so surprised anymore.
’In the 25th year of the apocalypse, all sorts of technology was far more advanced than it is now.’
’So, it’s not impossible for Caleb Xavier to have access to this kind of technology.’
’But for him to have already developed it... he must have been reborn for quite some time now.’
Although she was a bit surprised, Stella Sterling didn’t panic.
’I’m just curious. How strong are they, really? And how do they measure up to me?’
Just as Stella Sterling was pondering this, Evan Sterling, not far away, looked over at her. He let out a laugh. "My dear sister, I never thought you’d actually chase me all the way here!"
"But today, you’re destined to make this a one-way trip!"
At his words, everyone present was momentarily stunned. What did he mean?
Dr. Quinn of Sanctyr Base and the woman leading the attack on the base today... were siblings?!
And judging from the way they spoke, their relationship was clearly not a good one.
Miles Sanctus’s eyes flickered. ’I didn’t know about this.’
’So they’re siblings. This pair is certainly something else.’
’Good thing they’re enemies.’
Stella Sterling wasn’t angered in the least. She laughed brightly. "I let you escape last time, but you won’t be so lucky again. Mom and Dad loved you so much... and it’s been so long. I’m sure they miss you terribly. How about I send you to have a little family reunion with them today?"
