Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 826 - 530: Problem Solved
Chapter 826: Chapter 530: Problem Solved
The tornado mixed with flames emitted an extremely bright fire light amidst the smoke from the combustion.
In other parts of the city, under the night sky, even from a distant, lower vantage point, one could clearly see this fire dragon rising from the ground to the sky.
The investigative team that had hurried over, along with the firefighters who had just arrived, didn’t dare get too close even with breathing masks on.
"I can’t believe there’s a tornado causing havoc here!"
"Does the current environment and heat gradient even satisfy the conditions for formation?"
"Now’s not the time to discuss that, control the fire, urgently evacuate the residents nearby!"
"Fortunately, this area isn’t residential, and the buildings are also far apart."
"Damn it! We need to guard against people running over here!"
When the explosion at Schroeder Pharmaceutical Company occurred, many people, upon hearing the noise and seeing the flames, took out their phones to record.
A few of the more daring ones even ran towards the site of the incident to film up close, not knowing whether they were reporters or just excessively curious people.
And when the fire tornado appeared, even more people ran towards it, excitedly speaking loudly while holding up their phones, looking to post videos on social platforms.
Luckily, although the wind was strong at this time, it did not further fuel the fire. Fortunately, the fire tornado only swirled in that small area and did not move to other surrounding places.
The location of the fire tornado’s formation was actually where the large container holding mutated century plants was located.
The originally sealed large container had already been blown open in the explosion. A fire was already burning there, and the ensuing fire tornado sucked in the burning debris, continuously scorching these remnants with its core’s high temperature.
The fire tornado lasted a good while before disappearing.
Afterward, the thunderstorm weather previously forecasted finally arrived.
The enormous amount of precipitation it brought quickly brought the fire under control.
Firefighters were running around there, and personnel from the investigative team were also handling the scene.
Meanwhile, in a place invisible to all, a figure had already passed through the city and entered the sea.
Feng Yi, having dealt with a historical issue, was due to return.
The guards at Schroeder, and those responsible for transporting goods who carried dangerous weapons, were actually easy to deal with.
No matter how dangerous the weapons, as long as they were not given the opportunity to use them, they were ineffective.
As long as he was fast enough, those people couldn’t even make out who did it.
Feng Yi didn’t take their lives, he merely knocked them unconscious and threw them outside, leaving them for the investigative team.
These people did not know the core secret of "Divine Gene" hidden by Schroeder, but they certainly participated in illegal human and drug trafficking. The extent of what could be found would depend on the capabilities of the investigative team.
In fact, Feng Yi also left something at the scene.
Something to facilitate shifting the blame, collected by Yue Gengyang and the butler.
This evidence could lead the investigative team to look into the investors behind Schroeder.
Swimming in the sea, Feng Yi’s mind was still replaying the scenes he had witnessed.
When Schroeder was hiding in the secret room, Feng Yi didn’t go looking for people, not because he was deliberately waiting, but because he was in the underground lab at the time. He needed to determine what else there was to clean up.
In the underground lab, Feng Yi saw the area filled with deadly chemical gases and the silenced lab personnel.
In other areas without the deadly gases, Feng Yi could sense the other side of the material world through the residual scents, those small molecules invisible and hard to detect.
There, Feng Yi could see what had happened in the past, see the movements of the lab personnel, and also see those used as experimental consumables, dead, both large and small.
He couldn’t let Schroeder have the chance to utilize the genes of his ancestors to continue such research.
The fire tornado seen by the entire city was his creation.
Feng Yi didn’t know if the self-destruction program of Schroeder could completely incinerate the contents in the container through a fire, so he created a fire tornado to stir things up there more.
There were also several spots in the underground lab storing leftover materials, which he also stirred up thoroughly!
He needed to ensure that the plant was completely burned, and check if there were any other "problems" still existing in the area.
To completely resolve the historical problems, he had to eliminate thoroughly!
As for the drug Schroeder had injected, Feng Yi didn’t know the components, but he sensed it.
Of the dose Schroeder hadn’t completed, two-thirds were sprayed out during the explosion, which Feng Yi smelled.
This drug, injecting powerful vitality for a short period, was somewhat similar to Feng Yi’s sensation during each shedding of his skin.
But the limitations were quite substantial.
If the full dose had been injected into Feng Yi two years earlier, he might not have been able to endure it.
He had to strengthen his body through repeated shedding to withstand more gene expression and possess the more powerful strength passed down from his ancestors.
Even though it was only partial gene fragments, the products synthesized during their expression were more than ordinary people could withstand.
The Ancestral Factory researched Feng Yi’s venom and had to undergo multiple processes to achieve the effects of "reducing toxicity" or "detoxification," with dosage control being very cautious throughout. The dose that Feng Yi himself could tolerate would cause others to collapse instantly if they received even a trace.
The gene fragments Schroeder researched were unrelated to venom, but the principle was similar.
Even if it was just a small amount of the product expressed by gene fragments, even with reduced dosage, it was not something ordinary people could easily withstand.
Even if the cargo passage’s doors were finally opened and Schroeder escaped, he would not last long.
When experimenting on human bodies, the survival rate of test subjects after being injected with different dosages was just experimental data to Schroeder.
In the experiments, a one-third dosage indeed showed a higher survival rate, but it was not 100%. Unfortunately, Schroeder himself was not among those with a likelihood of survival.
As for the effects of the drug, Schroeder had a moment of clarity, and through heightened sensitivity, saw that figure...
It was indeed Feng Yi.
Tall because part of the tail had transformed, lengthening his height.
If he stood next to A’que, he would be a head taller.
He looked strong... because of exploding scales.
When using "non-human" strength, Feng Yi’s body would be covered with a layer of scales. When these scales exploded, his arms appeared "thicker."
The exploded scales couldn’t be maintained for too long, but they were enough.
The robe was generously provided by the butler, covering from face to... tail.
Feng Yi didn’t know when the butler had prepared it, but as soon as he mentioned the plan to "resolve historical issues," the butler turned around and brought out this set of clothing.
Made from special materials, it was somewhat fire-resistant. The color wasn’t flashy, facilitating movement at night. It was a bit stiff, far from light enough for ordinary people, but it was sturdy.
After use, it could not be worn again, a disposable item.
The mask was provided by Yue Gongyang, covering his entire head.
Even if someone used high-end technology to capture a photo of the scene, capturing Feng Yi’s figure, no one could identify the person, nor would they suspect Feng Yi.
Then there was the local thunderstorm that brought heavy rain.
This wasn’t caused by Feng Yi!
It was naturally formed, already present, just coincidentally encountered!
If it were just Feng Yi acting alone, using the clouds for cover would have been sufficient; there was no need to make the whole sky so dramatically involved.
And such a large storm cloud consumed a lot of energy, which Feng Yi could create but not control well.
Before leaving the area, Feng Yi also smelled Old Yuan’s scent.
Ah, Old Yuan was quick to act. As one of the first groups of investigative personnel to arrive at the scene, Old Yuan would certainly gather some important clues this time.
Feng Yi’s goal was to resolve the material related to hereditary genes left by ancestors of his clan, not allowing anyone a chance to conduct further research.
As for other matters, illegal medical experiments, human trafficking, international proliferation of illegal drugs, supply chain sanctions... etc., naturally, a joint investigative team and relevant departments from various countries would handle them.
Feng Yi reflected on tonight’s events, stealthily entering the sea from the coastline of this city under the cover of the stormy weather, swimming all the way back to the island where Xin was stationed.
The loyal island guard was already waiting on the beach.
Seeing Feng Yi return within the expected time, Xin knew the operation went smoothly and his face showed a relaxed smile.
That look... It was a bit similar to seeing a marine iguana return successfully from hunting in the sea.
Feng Yi was already accustomed to this and didn’t mind such details.
A hearty meal had already been prepared.
This time, to resolve the historical issues, Feng Yi had expended a lot of energy. Especially later, when creating the fire tornado to solve problems, he had to keep it confined within a specified area, requiring a lot of energy to control properly.
Feng Yi devoured the meal Xin had prepared. After replenishing his energy, he rested briefly before planning to leave.
Xin was surprised, "Not resting longer?"
"No, better head back soon," Feng Yi said.
Old Yuan was perceptive, perhaps having experienced his grandmother’s impact; he sometimes had sharp instincts. To avoid a sudden attack from him, it was better to return sooner.
The historical problems left by his ancestors were resolved, not too troublesome. But there were still many other matters to deal with. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
During the process of controlling the fire tornado, Feng Yi felt a disturbance above the sky, and he needed to get back soon and discuss with Yue Gongyang, making more preparations.
Beyond that...
He wondered if Old Man Feng at Yang City Hospital, who had connections with Schroeder, had received the news yet.
