Lin Feng had no idea that the First Sequence had almost eliminated him.
Under the boost of Mach 2, he quickly reached the headquarters of the Life Gene Association on his skateboard.
He didn't know if the Life Gene Association had some obsession with being underground, as even their headquarters was built underground.
However, the space in the headquarters was much larger than the one Lin Feng had found before.
Near the small island, there were electric fence defenses and patrol personnel.
Lin Feng was discovered before he even approached the island, but since he wasn't carrying any weapons or threatening items, he wasn't intercepted immediately.
Instead, an fully armed squad was dispatched to guard the place where Lin Feng was expected to land.
This elite squad consisted of twenty people, with the weakest being Level 3 Mutants.
They had undergone at least two rounds of serum evolution, maintaining their sanity while gaining significant ability enhancements.
This squad was not originally assigned to patrol duties, but Lin Feng's incredible speed prompted them to receive a temporary notice to investigate the situation.
"Prepare yourselves, the target is expected to arrive in one minute."
The captain of the squad ordered.
He was a Level 4 Mutant, with an evolution leaning towards strength. His arms, exposed outside his tactical vest, were sculpted with a sense of power.
"Captain, the target should be at least a Level 6 Mutant, right?"
A squad member holding an electronic device said next to the captain.
"The speed display shows a cruising speed close to Mach 2. For him to withstand this speed, he must be at least a pseudo-Level 6 Mutant."
"And it should be in defense or physique enhancement."
"However, we don't know if he's friend or foe..."
Mutation enhancement was divided into mental and physical.
For example, some high-ranking researchers in the institute had undergone brain or mental evolution, making their minds exceptionally sharp.
The squad captain stared intently at the sea, not turning his head.
"He should be Level 6 or above. As for whether he's friend or foe..."
"Scattered settlements don't have much serum, so they don't have the favorable evolutionary conditions we do."
"As far as I know, their highest combat power is only Level 5. This is clearly Level 6 or above. If it's truly one of them, they shouldn't come here so rashly."
"So, he should be one of us..."
The Life Gene Association had Level 7 Mutants (the levels will not be elaborated further, as this is a transient world.)
Level 7 Mutants were powerful beings that could not be defeated by sheer numbers.
They were the backbone of the Life Gene Association.
"He's here!"
In the distance, a figure could be clearly seen approaching across the sea.
"Although it's unlikely to be an enemy, remain vigilant to prevent any accidents!"
"Yes!"
As the captain gave the order, a crisp metallic clinking sound followed, and firearms were cocked and safeties disengaged.
Lin Feng, on the sea, had spotted the squad long ago.
However, he was not flustered.
Approaching the coast rapidly, Lin Feng decelerated in advance.
Finally, with a flip, he landed on the island.
The marine propulsion device, made of wings and an engine, disintegrated with a crackling sound after leaving Lin Feng, its mission completed.
"Halt, please prove your identity!"
As soon as Lin Feng landed, he was met by the squad.
The squad's firearms were not raised, but their muzzles were implicitly aimed at Lin Feng.
If Lin Feng made any move, he would likely be attacked instantly.
Lin Feng calmly took two steps forward, and a red light flashed in his eyes.
The entire squad's eyes glazed over for a second.
Then, they saw the illusion Lin Feng created.
In the illusion, Lin Feng threw a card.
It was proof of identity!
The captain caught it and tossed it to the squad member who had spoken earlier.
The junior member held the card and swiped it on the device in his hand.
Beep, Level 6 Mutant, Codename: Shan Hai.
Only a few words of information were displayed, with the rest marked as classified.
However, it proved Lin Feng's identity as one of their own.
The captain's vigilance was significantly reduced.
It really was a Level 6 Mutant.
He tossed the card back to Lin Feng and saluted respectfully.
"Lord Shan Hai, welcome home..."
At the same time, he made a gesture, and the entire team stood down.
Lin Feng nodded calmly and deactivated his ability.
"Take me to headquarters!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng's command, the captain did not hesitate. He immediately drove an off-road vehicle and took Lin Feng towards the headquarters.
As for the proof of identity, it was information logged in the previous Life Gene Association research institute.
After roughly understanding the hierarchical structure of the Life Gene Association, Lin Feng directly used his ability to register his identity in their backend system.
The forged identity had sufficient permissions without being too high to attract attention.
As you can see, this squad didn't suspect the authenticity of Lin Feng's identity at all.
However, since that research institute couldn't issue corresponding identification, and Lin Feng couldn't excessively perform by creating something out of thin air.
Otherwise, he could have just swiped a card on the fighter jet earlier and flown it in directly.
Lin Feng had been trying to figure out what kind of excessive actions would trigger elimination.
Now, he had a rough conclusion.
Physical abilities could be used, but not creation or spatial abilities.
Lin Feng touched his chin. When he had previously thought about creating an identity card out of thin air, his scalp had tingled. It was likely that creating it would have triggered the elimination alarm.
But physical strength...
It should not exceed the strongest on this planet, and the higher-ups would turn a blind eye.
In summary, the physical strength Lin Feng had displayed so far did not exceed the strongest on this planet.
However, if he used creation abilities or technology that didn't exist on this planet, it would likely trigger the elimination alarm.
He understood, and the car had reached its destination.
The headquarters were built underground, with many entrances above ground.
Lin Feng followed the captain towards one of the entrances.
As they walked, Lin Feng subtly observed his surroundings.
The headquarters' security seemed very comprehensive, with fully armed squads visible everywhere.
"Is Walter in the headquarters now?"
Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.
Walter was a Level 6 Mental Evolution researcher, and the highest-ranking among these researchers.
He had been working at the Life Gene Association since the year the meteorite fell.
After his mutation, his lifespan limit far exceeded that of normal humans, and he was now a veteran of the Life Gene Association.
This was due to his immense contributions. He was responsible for the meteorite research and even the optimization of Serum No. 106.
