The outside of the experimental base was a fortress. Its structure was similar to the city where Family Pazzi was located.
When the defense system was fully activated, the weapons in the fortress would also be activated.
As long as someone stepped into the attack range of the defense system, regardless of whether they were friend or foe, they would be attacked indiscriminately.
The mercenaries also broke out in a cold sweat and their bodies went limp.
Manuel was the only one who could control the defense system. The fingerprint button was also in the experimental base.
It was obvious that Manuel had realized something was wrong and awakened the defense system.
But they were still outside. Didn't this mean that he wanted their lives too?
"Ka, ka —"
Heavy firearms were set up one by one. The cold muzzles were aimed at the people outside the fortress.
"Bang!"
"Bang, bang!"
Bullets exploded in an instant. Sparks flew everywhere.
Valens roared, "Everyone, take cover!"
The agents were nimble and immediately found cover. They squatted down and touched the guns at their waists.
However, Fu Yunshen did not move. He only raised his hand.
A majestic inner force instantly erupted.
It was only for a moment!
"Vroom —"
All the bullets stopped steadily in the air when they were about to hit the target.
A few seconds later, they lost their energy and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
That was not all.
Valens watched helplessly as the heavy firearms exploded one by one under the effect of the powerful inner force.
In just one minute, the more than 200 firearms in the fortress had been reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
They did not even have the right to retrieve them.
Valens, who had not even taken out his gun, was dumbfounded. "…"
What kind of power was this?
Was it really something a human could have?
Fu Yunshen retracted his hand. "Let's go."
Valens gripped his gun tightly and followed.
Only then did he vaguely remember something.
Li Xini had mentioned that their commander was also an ancient warrior.

In the experimental base.
After Manuel activated the defense system, he did not care anymore and continued to conduct poison-related experiments.
Compared to benefiting mankind in medicine, he preferred to invent things that challenged human nature.
Manuel pushed up his glasses and mixed the potions in the two potion bottles together.
He had just picked up a new test tube when the door of the laboratory was violently slammed open.
Before Manuel could react, he heard a "bang" and the test tube in his hand exploded.
He raised his head abruptly and looked at Valens and the others who had barged in. "How did you get in?!"
The defense system was custom-made from the NOK forum by the Taylor family.
Once it was activated, it could definitely kill 50,000 mercenaries.
Therefore, Manuel didn't take the attacks outside to heart.
The experimental base was heavily guarded. Even if someone could attack the core, the Taylor Family would have arrived long ago.
But now, not only had someone barged in unscathed, but there was also no news from the Taylor Family.
Valens stepped forward, grabbed Manuel's clothes, and lifted him up with one hand.
He smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold. "Professor, if you like making poisons so much, why don't you continue making them in prison?"
Fu Yunshen glanced at the potion bottles in the laboratory and raised his chin. "Put them all away and bring them back."
The investigators moved quickly and carefully put all the potion bottles into safety boxes.
Manuel's expression finally changed.
He realized that everything he had asked his assistant to do had been exposed.
But the two bottles of poison were his proudest work. They could really kill people without leaving a trace.
Even if they didn't succeed in killing people, they definitely wouldn't find out who had poisoned them.
It hasn't even been a day and IBI has already come knocking on my door?
"No … You can't arrest me!" Manuel struggled. "Do you know how high my status is internationally? Do you want to lose credibility by arresting me? "
Manuel knew that once IBI made a move, even the Taylor Family wouldn't be able to protect him.
There wasn't a single international force that dared to go against IBI. Even some grey transactions were done in private and didn't dare to be made public.
After all, IBI was responsible for maintaining world peace and the safety of citizens. No one could guarantee that they wouldn't be threatened by international criminals.
"What a coincidence. The other scholars should also know your true colors." Valens didn't let go. Instead, he held on even tighter. "Sir, should we bring him back to the headquarters directly?"
Fu Yunshen looked up. "Bring the people who were doing the research with him back to the headquarters and carefully investigate them. Leave him to me first."
Manuel obviously had contact with the people of the World City.
And it was definitely the evil force with the black skull as its symbol.
"Yes, sir." Valens didn't say anything else. He tied Manuel up and kicked him again. "Behave."
Manuel was sweating profusely.
What's going on? Did the Taylor Family really give up on him?
"If you're waiting for the Taylor Family, don't worry. They won't come." Fu Yunshen leaned over. "Rest well. If you can't answer my questions tomorrow —"
He paused and didn't say anything else. He straightened his back. "Take him away."
**
At the same time.
Taylor Family.
As early as when IBI's special plane entered this area, the Taylor Family had already discovered it.
But they didn't dare to make a move.
IBI!
Which international force had more weapons and equipment than IBI?
Unless the Taylor Family wanted to be destroyed, they wouldn't dare to go against IBI.
The butler wiped his sweat and asked tentatively, "Master, are we just going to give up like this?"
In the past ten years, the Taylor Family had invested a total of 80 billion, if not 100 billion, into Manuel's laboratory.
Experimental research was very expensive.
Of course, Manuel didn't disappoint them. He invented many new products.
But the most important experiment was only half done.
Manuel had been captured by IBI, so the experiment could only be stopped and the investment was wasted.
The head of the Taylor Family's face was ashen, and his fists creaked. "What else can we do if we don't give up? He's the one who courted death and provoked IBI! "
But at the same time, he was also very glad.
Fortunately, he hadn't made a move on the higher-ups of Venus Group yet. It was just part of his plan.
Otherwise, he would be the one tied up in IBI.
The head of the Taylor Family waved his hand tiredly and went upstairs to rest.

It was an uneventful night.
In a town near the capital of J Country, there were only one or two street lamps on the street, and the lights were dim.
A young woman knocked on the door of a wooden house.
The door opened with a creak.
An old voice sounded. "Come in, my Holly."
"Grandma." Holly walked in, put down her bag, and twirled her hair. "Do you remember that I told you last night that I went to a ball?"
"There were many elites at that ball. I saw two that I liked, so I came to ask grandma for help."
An old woman was sitting in front of the fireplace.
Hearing this, her eyes opened with a swish. They were dark green.
Her eyes were cloudy, but there was a sharp light in them. It was very intimidating.
The old woman said slowly, "Who is it?"
"Is this a photo?" Holly pulled out two photos from her phone. "Grandma, help me take a look. Which one is easy to deal with?"
Of the two photos, one was of Fu Yunshen, and the other was of César Laurent.
The old woman took the phone and squinted for a while. "It's indeed not bad. From their looks, both of them are very lucky, and their descendants won't decline for a hundred years."
"Of course." Holly smiled. "These two are the two giants of the business world."
"Grandma will take a look." The old woman stood up and hobbled to the cupboard to get some tools.
Holly was delighted. "Thank you, grandma."
Holly had never told any of her friends that she was actually from a family of fortune-tellers.
After all, fortune-telling was rampant in the 21st century, so not many people believed in it.
Real fortune-tellers had long retreated behind the scenes, and it was difficult to find a real fortune-teller on the market.
Holly's grandmother was a fortune-teller with remarkable powers.
However, it was true that countless fortune-tellers in Continent O had died because of the witch hunt that lasted more than 300 years in the Middle Ages.
The evil fortune-tellers were called "witches."
Just like the prophecy written by the oracle, all the witches died at the end of 1780.
Of course, innocent fortune-tellers were also killed in the witch hunt.
It wasn't until the second half of the 19th century that the field of fortune-tellers barely recovered.
With the development of technology, fewer and fewer people had the talent for fortune-telling.
Holly didn't inherit the old woman's talent for fortune-telling.
She only knew how to play ordinary tarot cards. She could calculate ordinary things, but she couldn't change karma.
The old woman returned to the table with tarot cards and a yellowed book. "Which one do you want to read first?"
Holly pointed at Fu Yunshen's photo and said without hesitation, "Him."
