A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 807 - 793: Ghoul

Often you don't know whether tomorrow or accident will come first.

Baiyu didn't expect it either.

This kid turned out to be one of the survivors at that time.

Now the situation is quite awkward.

Luo Ya heard what his subordinate said and instantly became angry, but he didn't act immediately.

One reason is because of Aphel.

She stopped the further actions of the Steel Warriors, which made Luo Ya unclear about her stance.

Aphel is an important person, and the reason such a large operation could be launched this time is due to her presence.

The Resistance Army saw hope in opposing the company.

Aphel holds too many secrets of the company, and she herself has enough value for the Resistance Army to take risks.

Just the fact that she can extract Genetic Abilities.

Makes countless people flock to her.

As for the second point, of course Baiyu's strength isn't weak. The member who got knocked flying was a Level Three Mutant, yet had no ability to resist and was easily handled by Baiyu. This made Luo Ya consider one question, can they really manage Baiyu and if they were to subdue him, what would be the cost?

In such a situation.

Luo Ya dared not act recklessly, as one wrong move might bring the whole team into an abyss.

"Aphel, what's really happening here?"

Luo Ya looked at Aphel.

"I can assure you, Baiyu is absolutely not one of the company's people. None of you hate the company more than I do, I wouldn't lie to you about this."

Aphel said calmly.

Luo Ya nodded, gave Baiyu a dark glance, and finally nodded slowly, "Alright, we can temporarily cooperate."

The basic conflict was resolved.

Baiyu and Wang Shenghua finally joined the main forces of the Steel Warriors, both sides reached a tacit understanding, without further heavy conflict.

However.

That guy with the flat-top haircut looked at Baiyu with eyes full of hatred, the resentment in his eyes was almost spilling out, hard to believe how much he wished to tear Baiyu apart.

Baiyu didn't pay him any attention.

Currently the company's interior has long been thrown into chaos by the shocks from the Resistance Army, making it the perfect timing for looting.

With this group of Steel Warriors covering him, Baiyu could act more freely.

After this minor conflict.

Aphel continued leading the way towards the company's underground prison, the alloy iron door in front of her was easily destroyed.

A cold and damp scent like mold on rotten oranges wafted out.

Everyone smelled the scent, feeling uneasy.

"Let's go."

Aphel appeared composed, "The Sand King, who is involved with the Resistance Army, will definitely be imprisoned at the deepest level.

We have a long distance to cover.

Also.

The guards here are not easy to deal with, make sure you're cautious."

She took the lead and stepped inside.

The prison is a typical underground facility, with a corridor about three meters wide in the middle, and cells on both sides.

Each cell is about ten square meters.

The front is lined with sturdy metal bars forming a grid, allowing a clear view of the room inside.

Most prisoners have their hands and feet chained properly.

These chains ensure their activity is confined within the cell, preventing them from stepping outside or making unusual moves.

The lighting in the prison is bright.

Each prisoner is emaciated, skin and bones, covered in numerous scars, looking more like a ghost.

Seeing this group of Steel Warriors entering.

The prisoners on both sides of the cells merely lifted their heads, glanced at them, and then lowered their heads again, hopelessly apathetic.

The group moved towards the end of the corridor.

Here stands another iron door.

After Aphel easily opened the iron door, she walked into the spacious room and lifted a section of the floor.

A passage extending downward appeared beneath the floor.

The prison has three layers.

The Sand King is likely imprisoned on the bottom layer.

Of course, Baiyu already exchanged eye contact with Wang Shenghua, ready for an immediate escape.

After all, they had wounded the Sand King.

The fact that he was captured by the company is inseparable from their actions, and they also snatched three bottles of Genetic Elixir from the Sand King.

If the Steel Warriors found out.

These tough men of the Resistance Army would probably fight him with all their might.

Indeed.

Baiyu and Wang Shenghua haven't left yet because Baiyu thinks the company definitely wouldn't imprison the Sand King down here.

Either they killed him.

Or tortured him through various genetic techniques.

Or he defected to the company, confessing everything.

Only these possibilities, the odds of him being held in a special cell are too slim.

Aphel surely knows this too.

Yet.

She still led the group of Steel Warriors here, even as Baiyu expressed his intention to leave several times halfway, all of which were blocked by Aphel.

This is a very peculiar matter.

If Baiyu wasn't sure Aphel couldn't possibly align with the company, he'd suspect she had colluded with them long ago to capture them all.

The Steel Warriors didn't detect anything unusual.

And up till now.

Baiyu certainly couldn't point it out.

The door to the third layer of cells was effortlessly opened by Aphel.

An intense blood scent wafted from behind the iron door, making everyone uncomfortable.

Unlike the two layers above.

The third layer of cells has noticeably fewer rooms and is a square plaza shape, with small rooms imprisoning prisoners along the edges.

In the center of this square plaza, stood a stone table and a stone chair.

A robust-looking man sat on the stone chair, gnawing noisily on a charred cylindrical meat bone.

Upon witnessing this eerie scene.

Everyone heightened their alertness, refraining from advancing.

Aphel said gravely, "This is the company's Elite cadre, Ghoul, and the only guard of this prison."

Upon hearing Aphel's explanation.

No more words were needed.

Several of Luo Ya's mutant soldiers rushed out, unleashing various offensive abilities fiercely striking Ghoul.

In an instant.

Ghoul's body was hit like a sandbag, flying chaotically, crashing hard against the wall, with no intact part left.

Everyone stared at him.

From the start of the fight to now, only several seconds had passed.

While enduring massive attacks, he didn't make a single noise, quiet to the point of being frightening.

Suddenly.

Sounds of earth being dug came from beneath everyone's feet.

Ghoul slowly stood up from the ground, his crimson eyes unlike human ones staring at them, opening his stench-filled mouth, letting out an ear-piercing roar.
