Chapter 1527 Chen Jun Arrives Arrogantly, 3 Bald Evolvers
"This is an order."
Chen Jun gave Geng Jihui one last look, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable resolve. His gaze swept over each of the worried team members around him, the meaning in his eyes crystal clear—no need for further words, execute.
Geng Jihui's lips moved, but he swallowed back all his words of dissuasion, letting out a heavy sigh. He stood at attention and growled, "Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
He had no choice but to compromise. He knew that when Chen Jun spoke in this tone, any argument was futile. This was based on countless life-and-death experiences and absolute trust, and unconditional obedience to the commander's final decision.
Under the complex and worried gazes of the crowd, Chen Jun did not linger for a moment. He crouched slightly, like a slippery fish, and precisely located an extremely tiny gap in the disguised entrance, which might be a maintenance or emergency passage.
Chen Jun's body slid in silently with an angle and flexibility that almost defied the laws of physics, disappearing instantly into the dark crevice as if swallowed by the massive mountain.
“Sigh…” Leng Feng stared at the entrance that had closed again, almost undetectable, and couldn’t help but shake his head, muttering with emotion, “The boss is still the same boss, not changed at all. Back in the hacker base, which of the most dangerous and impossible missions wasn’t led by him personally, or even by him alone? That courage… that boldness… tsk tsk, I could never learn that in my entire life, this is too difficult…”
"Yes, it feels like time has stood still for him. He's still the same adventurous king who dared to poke a hole in the sky."
"He is indeed still the same boy he always was, without the slightest change."
"As expected of the boss, he's much better than us. Let's wait and see. I feel that forcing our way in would only be a burden to the boss."
Everyone fell silent, with only the whistling of the mountain wind whistling through the treetops and the faint cries of unknown birds in the distance.
……
As Chen Jun entered the interior of the mountain, the scene before him suddenly changed.
The sweltering heat and humidity of the jungle outside were instantly replaced by a cool, constant temperature and humidity, carrying the smell of metal and engine oil.
The passageway is not a natural cave as one might imagine, but a standardized corridor with sharp edges constructed from high-strength alloy plates. The ceiling is covered with neatly arranged LED cold light sources that emit a pale, uniform light that illuminates everything clearly.
Almost the instant his feet touched the ground, a feeling of being watched enveloped his entire body like a cold spider web!
On both sides of the corridor, in the corners of the ceiling, and even in the seemingly flat gaps in the floor, countless tiny red dots, almost blending into the background, lit up all at once, like the eyes of a venomous snake that had suddenly awakened!
The cold laser beam, accompanied by a faint, almost inaudible hum, precisely targeted his vital points—between his eyebrows, throat, heart, joints… densely packed, leaving no place to hide.
No matter how skilled one is in stealth, it's almost impossible to remain completely silent inside the enemy's stronghold, in a core area completely covered by surveillance and automated defense systems. The enemy's reaction speed was even faster than he had anticipated.
However, Chen Jun's face showed no panic; instead, it curled into an extremely cold and almost arrogant smile.
"As expected... I didn't expect to sneak in." He sneered inwardly.
Entering such a narrow, enclosed space rendered conventional stealth and surprise attack tactics ineffective. However, the newly acquired hacker hypnosis techniques gave Chen Jun tremendous courage.
He didn't even try to find cover or move quickly. Instead, he stopped, raised his head slightly, and his gaze accurately caught a high-definition camera disguised as a ventilation grille above the corner of the corridor ahead.
He grinned at the camera, revealing a clear, unmistakable smile full of mockery and provocation.
At the same time, he raised his right hand and, facing the camera, slowly and forcefully made an internationally recognized but highly insulting gesture—the middle finger.
His lips moved silently, forming several clear mouth shapes. If one understood lip reading, one could easily decipher those extremely arrogant words:
"I am coming."
……
Deep within the mountains, in the monitoring room of a core area.
The massive, curved monitoring wall is divided into dozens of screens, displaying real-time images of various key areas inside the mountain. At this moment, the largest screens in the center clearly show the situation inside the entrance corridor—Chen Jun's arrogant smile and raised middle finger are captured and magnified by high-definition cameras, filling the entire screen.
Three people stood side by side in front of the screen.
Their appearance was exactly the same as the "bald evolver" Chen Jun had encountered before: the same short and stocky build, the same pitifully sparse hair barely covering the top of their heads, and the same fleshy, burly face with a savage and bandit-like air. Even their ill-fitting, wrinkled gray suits were almost identical.
However, the aura of these three people was more solid and more composed than that of the previous one.
Their eyes no longer held that manic ferocity, but rather a cold, indifferent gaze, as if looking down upon ants. They still wore smiles, but those smiles were more rigid, more devoid of human warmth, like wearing a clumsy mask.
At that moment, all three of them were simultaneously and casually picking their noses with their right pinkies, their movements strangely synchronized. They watched Chen Jun, who had "walked right into their trap," on the screen with a cold smile that was a mixture of mockery, curiosity, and a hint of cat-and-mouse playfulness.
“This is Chen Jun from Yan Country.” The bald man with a shallow scar on his face, standing in the middle, said in a metallic voice, his tone flat, as if introducing an item, “One of the most threatening ‘Old Human’ individuals recently assessed by the organization. Also our most important ‘prey’ this time…”
"Heh..." The bald man on the left let out a low laugh, like a stone rolling. "You've got guts. Coming here all alone. Is it foolishness, or... do you have something to rely on?"
“No matter what he has to rely on, once he’s inside, he’s like a bird in a cage,” the bald man on the right interjected, his tone even more indifferent. “Perfect, we can test the practical effectiveness of our latest ‘co-evolution unit.’ Hopefully, he can hold on a little longer and provide some valuable data.”
"Yes, I always feel like my brain isn't working properly. The more we evolve, the more it seems like I've lost my brain."
The three bald evolved humans exchanged glances, feeling slightly irritated.
In their conversation, the three of them completely treated Chen Jun as an experimental subject and a lamb to the slaughter.
However, the very next second after they finished speaking, Chen Jun's clear middle finger gesture and provocative smile were displayed before their eyes without reservation on the surveillance footage.
"grass!"
"Fuck you—!"
The bald men in the middle and on the left cursed almost simultaneously, their nose-picking motion abruptly halting, their fingers frozen in mid-air. A terrifying glint flashed in the eyes of all three men at once!
An invisible yet seemingly tangible aura of terror, like a sleeping beast suddenly awakening, erupted from the three of them! The air in the monitoring room seemed to instantly become thick and heavy, and the lights seemed to dim slightly.
It was a kind of oppressive aura that combined violent power, cold killing intent, and some kind of inhuman quality, causing the technicians in the corner of the room who were in charge of the control panel to turn pale instantly, have difficulty breathing, and tremble like rabbits being stared at by a tiger.
These three people, simply standing there, exuding an aura, seemed to transform into three primordial tigers standing at the top of the food chain, looking down upon all living beings! It was a manifestation of absolute confidence in their own strength after cruel transformation and selection, a kind of beast king aura on a spiritual level.
This is not just about physical strength, but also involves a kind of effective control and amplification of one's own biomagnetic field, which can transform inner killing intent and pressure into an aura that influences the surrounding environment.
Although it is far less sophisticated than Chen Jun's "hacker hypnosis," its ferocity and directness should not be underestimated.
They stared intently at the figure on the screen, still wearing that defiant smile, their eyes filled with a desire to devour him alive. Arrogant! Utterly arrogant! This was a blatant contempt and insult to the "Abyss," to them, these "new humans"!
Inside the passage, Chen Jun keenly sensed the hostile and oppressive biomagnetic field fluctuations emanating from the direction of the surveillance camera. It was a kind of mental intimidation, like the low growl of a tiger.
Far from being afraid, the corners of his mouth curved into a deeper smile.
"Interesting... It's no longer just about physical modification; it's starting to involve rudimentary applications of mental power?" He quickly assessed the situation, but his steps didn't falter. He continued walking steadily and unhurriedly into the depths of the corridor, following his predetermined direction and pace.
The three men did not issue any further orders or activate any more defensive weapons.
They merely watched Chen Jun coldly through surveillance, like a tiger crouching by a pond, quietly waiting for that reckless "wolf" who dared to brandish its claws at them to walk step by step into the pre-arranged hunting ground.
This is an extreme form of self-confidence, or rather, a blind certainty about their own power resulting from the transformation. They believe that in this nest they have cultivated for many years, any intruder facing their three "co-evolutionary units" will only be crushed.
Under this silent, murderous gaze, Chen Jun passed through a series of automatically opening and closing alloy gates and traversed a maze of passageways. Finally, he arrived at an extremely spacious circular hall, resembling a small plaza.
In the center of the hall, three bald, cold-faced figures in gray suits stood in a triangular formation, having waited for some time. The aura of fierce tigers emanating from them, a mixture of brute force and chilling killing intent, permeated the space without reservation, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
Chen Jun stopped about ten meters away from them. His gaze calmly swept over the three faces, which were almost identical, bald and fleshy.
He blinked, a very strange expression on his face, as if he had seen something absurd.
Then, he couldn't hold back any longer and let out a clear sound:
"puff--"
In this tense and deadly enemy stronghold, facing three obviously formidable evolved beings, he actually burst out laughing!
"The three of you, again, advanced human males?" Chen Jun's voice carried undisguised mockery, his gaze sweeping over the tops of their bald heads. "And you have another common characteristic—"
"All...bald?"
"Isn't this evolutionary path a bit too hair-consuming?"
