My Genes Can Evolve Limitlessly - Chapter 31

In the living room, outside Lu Yuan’s door, three figures were assessing the surroundings with some light that shone in through the windows.

Amongst the three of them, two of them were ruffians that Lu Yuan had taken care of previously.

Their arms, which had been crushed by Lu Yuan, had been changed into mechanical arms. However, their countenances were still a little pale.

The two of them assessed the surroundings nervously as if something would appear.

The red-haired ruffian spoke up in a soft voice.

“Big Bro Pete, we have checked. That guy is a year three student from Rose High School. He’s an orphan, so he can only rent a room here. However, he awakened as a gene fighter a few days ago. He’s probably going to strike it rich soon.”

As the red-haired ruffian said this, his eyes revealed an envious gaze.

In front of them, a brown-haired guy with a big stature sized up the surroundings and nodded expressionlessly.

“En, seeing how that guy is so interested in Old Blade’s death, he might know of something. We’ll catch him and ask him. Moreover, he dared to raise a hand against our Blackrat Gang’s members. Regardless if he’s a student or not, he must be prepared for the consequences!”

Hearing this, the two ruffians looked touched and nodded vigorously.

“This apartment is a co-rent. Which room belongs to that kid?”

“This… we don’t know. Should we look through them one by one?”

“Let’s do that then.”

Pete nodded and a gun appeared in his hand.

The other two ruffians also took out a gun each.

The three of them, with killing intents in their eyes, held their guns and planned on searching for Lu Yuan’s room one by one.

…

In Li Qinghe’s room.

Li Qinghe, who was seated cross-legged on her bed with her eyes closed, opened her eyes. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, revealing an ice-cold killing intent.

“To think that some sewer rats have set their eyes on my place? They’re courting deaths!”

She stood up, planning to head out.

But all of a sudden, she paused, raised her brows, and revealed a slightly interested expression.

In Lu Yuan’s room, he heard the sound of a door opening and frowned.

This was the slums. Having their door opened in the middle of the night probably meant that there was a break-in.

Break-in robberies happened everywhere in this place.

If the robbers were displeased, many of them would kill during the robbery.

Lu Yuan had stayed here for some time. Hence, even though he hadn’t encountered something like this before, he had heard of many such occurrences.

If it was in the past, he’d feel a little scared.

But now…

A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Yuan’s eyes. He opened the door and walked out.

In the living room, Pete and the two ruffians who were planning to start their search heard the sound, and they looked toward Lu Yuan.

After seeing Lu Yuan, the two ruffians instinctively opened their eyes wide, and a hint of nervousness and fear flashed in them.

The mechanical arms that they had just installed somehow gave off vague signs of pain.

At this moment, the red-haired ruffian quickly pointed at Lu Yuan and said.

“Big Bro Pete! It’s him! He’s that guy!”

When Lu Yuan saw the two ruffians, he couldn’t help but frown, revealing a cold smile.

“It’s the two of you? Even though I let the two of you off, it seems that you aren’t treasuring the chance.”

“Hmph! Kid, don’t think that we’ll be the same as we were in the morning!”

“You’re a goner! Prepare to die! Our Blackrat Gang won’t let off anyone who dares to harm our gang!”

However, Pete paid no heed to the two ruffians. He raised his gun and wore a cold expression.

“Kid, come with us.”

Lu Yuan took a look at Pete’s gun and smiled.

“What if I say no?”

Pete narrowed his eyes.

“This is an order, not a request. I know that you are a gene fighter, but you just awakened, right? Gun isn’t something you can fend off.”

Lu Yuan smiled.

His body instantly moved. His speed surged tremendously, and he charged toward Pete as well as the other two.

Pete’s pupils contracted and he decisively pulled the trigger at Lu Yuan.

Bang!

The sound of a gunshot rang through the night.

However, at the next instant, Pete opened his eyes wide, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Lu Yuan’s palm, which had turned pitch-black, grabbed onto the gun barrel. When the gunshot rang out, the bullet was stopped by Lu Yuan.

When Pete was astonished, Lu Yuan used force and flattened the barrel. The gun was immediately destroyed.

As Lu Yuan drew his hand back, a flat bullet landed on his palm, making a crisp sound.

“That’s impossible! How can one catch a bullet with their bare hands when they have just awakened?!”

Pete opened his eyes wide, his expression in disbelief.

Lu Yuan took a look at his palm. Some skin in the center of his palm had been scratched, and there was a little bleeding.

However, it was just a superficial wound.

The Blackiron Body’s defense had never disappointed him.

The killing prowess of this gun was limited to begin with. Therefore, its damage to the Blackiron Body wasn’t big either.

Right now, Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at the astonished Pete. He smiled.

“What’s impossible about that? Aren’t you seeing this for yourself?”

He took a look at Pete and the two ruffians.

“Do you still remember that I told you not to show your faces around me again?”

When the two ruffians heard Lu Yuan’s words, they returned to their senses.

They quickly raised their guns and pointed them at Lu Yuan.

“What do you want?! Don’t come over!”

Lu Yuan then put out his hands quickly and grabbed the two ruffians’ guns.

Seeing this, the two ruffians broke into savage expressions, not caring about anything and wanting to shoot.

However, Lu Yuan’s speed was faster than the two of them, ordinary people.

He grabbed the guns and raised them.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of gunshots rang out repetitively, and the bullets hit the ceiling.

Very soon, the gunshot sounds ended. The two ruffians pulled the trigger hard but realized that there were no more bullets.

After that, Lu Yuan exerted force with both of his hands.

As a result, the piercing sound of metal rubbing together rang out, and the guns’ barrels were flattened by Lu Yuan.

He let go of the guns and broke into a smile.

When the two ruffians saw this smile, their bodies trembled furiously as they wore fearful expressions.

The green-haired ruffian shouted something and threw the destroyed gun toward Lu Yuan with all his might. He then turned and wanted to flee.

Lu Yuan caught the gun and threw it back.

It then hit the green-haired ruffian on the back, and the sound of breaking bones rang out.

The green-haired ruffian fell forward and kept on convulsing on the ground.

Seeing this, the red-haired ruffian looked horrified.

Even Pete, who had been cold and aloof earlier, had cold sweat all over now.

After that, Pete grabbed the red-haired ruffian and pushed him toward Lu Yuan.

He, on the other hand, ran in the direction of the window. He pounced forcefully, broke the window, and jumped out of the room.

Meanwhile, the red-haired ruffian hadn’t expected that Pete would push him toward Lu Yuan. His eyes were wide open, filled with perplexity.

Lu Yuan kicked the red-haired ruffian in the chest.

The sound of bones breaking rang out, and the red-haired ruffian flew out, smashing heavily into the wall. He then dropped to the ground and kept on convulsing.

Lu Yuan didn’t even take a look at him. He went to the window and saw that Pete had landed and was running out.

Lu Yuan raised his brows slightly.

Lu Yuan lived on the third floor. Although it wasn’t far from the first floor, it wasn’t considered a short distance either. Normal people would have gotten hurt if they were to jump down.

He didn’t expect this person to still be alive and kicking.

Hence, Lu Yuan propped his hand against the sill and jumped down too.

After landing with ease, Lu Yuan chased after Pete with erupted speed.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had come chasing after him, Pete turned and threw out a small knife toward him.

Lu Yuan caught the knife and threw it back.

Swoosh!

The small knife moved at an extremely fast speed and flew toward Pete’s chest.

All of a sudden, Pete’s eyes became vertical slits. He then tumbled toward the side and dodged the knife.

Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed.

Turned out that this guy was a gene fighter too.

It was just that he didn’t seem too strong, and the gene he engraved and recorded wasn’t inclined toward attacks either.

Hence, Lu Yuan increased his speed and caught up to Pete after running for tens of meters.

He punched out toward Pete’s back.

In return, Pete turned and put both arms up to form a block.

As a result, Lu Yuan’s fist hit Pete’s arms.

Bang!

A stifled sound rang out and Pete let out a stifled snort. His face turned pale and he spurted out blood.

His body swayed a little as he took two steps back. At this moment, Lu Yuan arrived in front of him once again, swinging his fist.

“Hold on! I surrender! I have something to say!”

Pete suddenly shouted.

Lu Yuan squinted his eyes, his fist stopping in front of Pete.

“Gulp!”

Looking at the fist that was right before his eyes, Pete gulped and cold sweat dripped down his face.

Lu Yuan withdrew his fist, looked at Pete, and broke into a smile.

“What is it? Let’s see if it can save your life.”

Pete tugged his lips, took in a deep breath, then said.

“Friend, you want information about that black shadow?”

Lu Yuan’s pupils contracted. He looked at Pete and asked, smiling.

“You know about it?”

“Although our Blackrat Gang isn’t the biggest gang in the entire slums, we are well-informed and know a little about it. Moreover, we have members who are victims to it as well, so we’ve been looking for information on that thing too.”

“Hmm? Tell me what you know.”

“Friend, after I tell you, can you let me off?”

“Do you believe that I’ll kill you right now?”

“I’ll talk! I’ll talk right away!”

Pete quickly raised both hands and wore a currying smile.
