Super Gene - Chapter 1708

Chapter 1708

1708 Entering the Ruins Again 

“It’s nothing too exciting . That is the remains of a Nine-Life Cat . It is their leftover genes,” Old Cat said with a slight tone of

awkwardness .

“Does that mean there is more than one?” Han Sen asked .

Old Cat hesitated for a moment, and then said, “There aren’t many . ”

“What’s going on?” Han Sen frowned . Old Cat wasn’t answering fully and forwardly, and it was clear he was hiding something .

Old Cat retreated into thought before speaking next . He said, “It’s not a big secret Only rare Nine-Life Cats can leave behind something like that . And to the best of my knowledge, there are only ten . ”

Hearing him say this, Han Sen’s mind drifted back to Zero, who had the exact same thing . He still went on to ask, “How many are there in the sanctuaries?”

“Just one . It was from Human Emperor…” Old Cat suddenly stopped short .

Han Sen heard half of what he said, and immediately, his face changed . He looked at Old Cat and asked, “Human Emperor visited the Nine-Life Cat? Nine-Life Cat comes from the outside, so the Human Emperor got out?”

Old Cat smiled and said, “I guess, but he didn’t go out with his powers intact . ”

“What does that mean?” Han Sen asked .

“If I told you I helped him out, you wouldn’t believe me . So, it would be best if you stopped asking . And if you ever do make it out, you’ll hear it from him . But if you can’t make it out, such knowledge is useless to know,” Old Cat said .

Han Sen was shocked . He had no idea that an Alpha Human had made it out of the sanctuaries .

“Is he still alive, then? Can you at least tell me that?” Han Sen asked .

“I don’t know . When I came here, he wasn’t dead . But predicting if someone is dead or alive out there is now something anyone can do . Even me . ” Old Cat shook his head .

Han Sen thought about this for a while and said, “How did you even get into the sanctuary? As far as I know, aside from the crystallizers, no others were able to get inside . ”

That was what concerned Han Sen the most . If the creatures from the outside could enter, just like Old Cat seemed to have, then that could spell out something pretty bad .

Old Cat seemed to see through Han Sen’s thoughts, and answered, “If nothing could get in, then how could Feathers be here?”

Han Sen’s face changed . Old Cat, with a cocky expression on his face, went on to say, “But don’t worry, if the crystallizers hadn’t killed themselves, it would have been difficult for other races to enter . I came in when the crystallizers opened the sanctuaries . And yes, the crystallizers are practically all dead . They can’t kill themselves anymore to open doorways . ”

“Did you destroy the crystallizers?” Han Sen asked, looking at Old Cat .

“Do I look like I’m capable of such an act?” Old Cat revealed his claws .

Han Sen ignored the mocking and asked him, “Well, could other creatures have made it through?”

Old Cat nodded . “There were others, but I don’t know them . Now come on, I’ve told you everything you wish to know . Will you follow me now?”

“Why don’t you tell me what for? Maybe I’ll consider coming . ” Han Sen smiled .

“Breaking a promise made to the Nine-Life Cat isn’t a very wise move to make . Think about it . ” Old Cat squinted his eyes .

“I said I’d consider coming along . I didn’t say I’d come or not come . ” Han Sen smiled again .

Old Cat was a professional liar, and Han Sen wasn’t willing to put absolute stock into everything he was being told . And right now, there was every chance he might be getting sold out .

Old Cat saw that Han Sen really wasn’t moving, so he went on to explain the ruins .

Old Cat had discovered another lab with another race there . It hadn’t woken up like the Feather had, but just in case, he wanted to bring Han Sen for help .

Old Cat explained that if nothing happened, he would take the item . If something bad happened, then any treasures they found would be shared .

Han Sen asked him what he expected to find, but the cat’s explanation made no sense to him . It was like some sort of bone that was similar to the one Han Sen retrieved before .

“What is the point in getting such a bone?” Han Sen couldn’t figure out what that other bone was for, so now was as good a time to ask as any .

“They’re useless in the sanctuaries, but out there, they’re highly sought after by all . If you can get out, you’ll find out for certain . ” Old Cat didn’t really explain anything .

Han Sen mulled the idea over some more, but ultimately decided to follow . He was quite curious about discovering another race, anyway .

“So, do the sanctuaries only have one of these items, brought here by Human Emperor?” Han Sen asked .

“It should be just one, assuming Human Emperor did not lie,” Old Cat said .

Han Sen asked Old Cat how Human Emperor had managed to get the bone, but he didn’t receive an answer . Old Cat was afraid of telling him .

Han Sen was planning on going alone, but Xie Qing King overheard them and wanted to go along . Han Sen wouldn’t mind some extra help, and Xie Qing King was nearing Emperor status, too . He’d be very good to have along .

But before setting out, Han Sen returned to the Alliance . He took the glove, but left the crystal shoes for Ji Yanran in case something happened during his absence .

The three of them entered the relics Han Sen had been to before . Han Sen thought the lab was the one he had previously visited, with the Feather inside . But even though Nine-Life Cat was taking them to the same ruins, that was not the lab they were headed for .

“Where did you find this thing?” Han Sen frowned .

“There are three other labs, and I found what I seek in one of the others . I know my way around, and if it doesn’t wake up like the Feather did, we should be safe . ” Old Cat spoke as he led them forward .

They walked around the ruins for a while before reaching their destination . When they entered, it looked just like the one Han Sen had previously visited . There were many tools and crystal tanks .

The laboratory was damaged, though . The room was in bad shape, and much of the equipment was broken . Many crystal tanks had broken, too, leaking their fluids everywhere . There were a number of rotten bodies and bones scattered all about .
