Chapter 990 Infiltration
After two days of sailing at sea with the people from the Heavenly Physician Hall, Chen Yang finally found the Zhou family's research base, which was not marked on the map.
Chen Yang did not let the ship dock directly. Instead, he and Wei Zhenru went to the island first.
Both of them were at the peak of the Grandmaster realm and could stay on the sea for a short time.
Although Wei Zhenru's identity was not as powerful as Chen Yang's Heavenly Travel Secret Art, he had learned a set of extremely strong movement techniques from Chen Yang's library.
Looking at the dense vegetation on the island, Wei Zhenru asked Chen Yang with some surprise, "Why are there no signs of human life here at all?"
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Try extending your spiritual power forward, and you'll be able to sense it."
At this moment, Chen Yang's spiritual power had already sensed the presence of human auras.
However, after a while, Wei Zhenru's expression turned very grim.
The reason was that he could not sense any human aura at all.
The gap in spiritual power between them was too vast!
Wei Zhenru naturally knew that there was a gap between him and Chen Yang... but after several minutes, the boundary of his spiritual power still could not be detected.
Meanwhile, as soon as they landed on the island, Chen Yang's spiritual power had already sensed the Zhou family's base.
Chen Yang naturally observed the abnormality on Wei Zhenru's face and said to comfort him, "Aren't there a few books in the underground library that can enhance spiritual power? You can study them more when you have time!"
"Those few cultivation techniques were placed there by Zhou Zeyao. When he returns, you can learn from him."
Wei Zhenru was startled.
Wei Zhenru was certainly aware of the library underground in Chen Yang's villa.
However, the collection of books there was too vast, and it was impossible to finish reading them all.
He never expected that there would be something to improve spiritual power in it.
Zhou Zeyao...
Wei Zhenru had known about the relationship between Zhou Zeyao and Chen Yang before, but it was truly unexpected that Zhou Zeyao could produce cultivation techniques that enhanced spiritual power.
The Zhou family's cultivation techniques were not very powerful. Even after so many years of inheritance and plundering the cultivation techniques of many aristocratic families, they were still far inferior to those of the sects.
As the chosen patriarch of the Wei family and the only one at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, Wei Zhenru's cultivation techniques were all inherited from the central sect.
However, even sects did not necessarily have cultivation techniques that enhanced spiritual power, let alone ones that had been passed down.
And Zhou Zeyao not only possessed this item but also placed it in Chen Yang's library.
As long as a martial artist was attached to Chen Yang, they could enter and browse and learn freely.
In his interactions with Fei Zilin and the other ancient martial arts practitioners, Wei Zhenru knew that even in the past martial world, such treatment had never been seen before.
The identity of Zhou Zeyao... Wei Zhenru could not figure out what Chen Yang was trying to do.
"Okay, I will go back and study it carefully."
Just as Wei Zhenru finished speaking, Chen Yang suddenly stopped his steps.
Wei Zhenru quickly stopped, preventing himself from bumping into Chen Yang. "What's wrong?"
With a slight tremor of his hand, Wei Zhenru produced a large sword forged from fine steel, his spirit tense as if facing a great enemy.
Chen Yang frowned and whispered, "The intelligence is wrong, there are more than two Grandmaster peak martial artists on this research base!"
According to the intelligence obtained earlier, in addition to one Grandmaster peak martial artist who was on a business trip, there was also Zhou Qingming, who had gone overseas to pursue the Wei family members.
But now, Chen Yang could sense far more than two Grandmaster peak martial artists!
"Ah? I didn't sense any people at all. Should we call Chen Shu over?"
Wei Zhenru was very aware that among the three of them, he was the weakest. If the number of enemies was too large, he might become a weak link for Chen Yang's side.
Having Chen Shu present would be better.
"No, the sea is very dangerous. I'm not too at ease leaving you on the ship."
Chen Yang had previously worried that the Zhou family would sneak around to ambush the martial artists on the ship, so he had left Chen Shu behind.
After all, Chen Yang was very confident in Chen Shu's strength.
Hearing this, Wei Zhenru could only give an awkward smile. "Then what do we do now? Should we call Fei Zilin and the other four over?"
Chen Yang shook his head. "There's not enough food on the ship for us to sustain for so many days, and Huang Chen needs them."
After carefully reviewing his options in his mind, Chen Yang decided to continue infiltrating.
Although the number of Grandmaster peak martial artists on the island was large, their auras were very weak, which made Chen Yang feel strange.
When the outer wall of the Zhou family's research base appeared before them, Wei Zhenru involuntarily gasped.
To build such a research base in this forest, the Zhou family must have invested an immense amount of money.
Thinking that a large portion of that money had come out of his own accounts, and yet he had been completely unaware of it, made Wei Zhenru feel somewhat uneasy.
Wei Zhenru had always believed that he managed all of the Zhou family's overseas funds, but he never expected that what he had been handling all along was a smokescreen arranged by the Zhou family.
If it weren't for Chen Yang, this secret base would probably never have seen the light of day, and he would have remained in the dark forever.
The two of them hid their presence and stealthily entered the research base. At the entrance, they immediately saw two guys smoking. They promptly knocked the two unconscious, hid them, and then put on their clothes, pushing a small cart into the main building of the research base.
Because the clothes were fully enclosed, Chen Yang was not worried about their identities being discovered.
As Chen Yang was about to search for information on gene-enhancing drugs, he was stopped by a familiar voice.
Zhou Wenqun looked at the two researchers in front of him with some surprise. "Where are you two going?"
"It's time to replenish the medicine! Don't be lazy!"
Chen Yang did not expect to encounter Zhou Wenqun so soon. What surprised Chen Yang was that Zhou Wenqun's injuries had already healed!
Seeing that the two did not react to his words, Zhou Wenqun couldn't help but get a little angry.
The people in this research base were all arrogant, and they naturally disliked him, an outsider who had arrived later.
However, Zhou Wenqun also understood that as one of the few remaining Zhou family members, he had to gain complete control here.
Zhou Wenqun was very sure that after he left, these two guys would slack off again.
So, gritting his teeth, he said, "Since I also need to replenish my medicine, let's go together!"
Chen Yang and Wei Zhenru were both startled by this. It was as if a pillow had appeared just when they felt sleepy.
This Zhou Wenqun was going to lead them the way!
Zhou Wenqun roared angrily, "What are you two still standing there for? Hurry up!"
