When the Greed Wolf Stone came into contact with Olivia Bolton's skin, a sudden mutation occurred. The wolf's head abruptly turned into a streak of green light and actually burrowed into Olivia Bolton's body, while Olivia Bolton's body convulsed violently and rapidly, as if struck by high-voltage electricity, and he let out a howl of unbearable pain.

Olivia Bolton felt as if his body was being torn apart alive. The green light that had suddenly entered his body was scorching hot, like a red-hot branding iron, stabbing fiercely into his soul.

This extreme pain stripped him of all ability. He curled up helplessly, like a shrimp thrown into a pot of boiling oil.

He wanted to scream, he wanted to curse, he wanted to destroy everything he touched, to crush it all to pieces. However, he could do nothing—he could only open his mouth and wail in agony...

All the experimenters, including Professor Fraser, stared at this bizarre change, instantly petrified. The scene was dead silent.

The soul-searing pain lasted for a minute. Though brief, to Olivia Bolton it felt as long as a century.

The green light completely disappeared, and the pain in Olivia Bolton vanished with it. On his fair chest, a tattoo of a green wolf's head howling at the sky appeared—domineering and ferocious.

"Where's the Greed Wolf? Why is it gone?" Snapping back to his senses, Professor Fraser was furious, stomping his feet. "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? How did the perfectly fine Greed Wolf Stone end up inside this yellow-skinned monkey, turning into a tattoo?"

This was not the result he wanted. For this mad scientist, the Greed Wolf Stone, containing boundless energy, carried his endless ambition. Although the previous 71 test subjects had failed, number 72 was on the verge of success. He believed that, given time, he would surely find the key to human evolution and become the supreme ruler of this world.

But now, the Greed Wolf Stone had disappeared, meaning all his ambitions and dreams vanished with it. This was something he absolutely could not accept.

"Drag this yellow-skinned monkey out and dissect him alive! Even if you have to break his bones, dig the Greed Wolf Stone out for me!"

Professor Fraser's furious roar echoed through the laboratory...

At that moment, Olivia Bolton, who had fused with the Greed Wolf Stone, began to undergo a mutation. As the stone suddenly entered him, a massive amount of energy rapidly gathered inside his body in a short time, like a volcano about to erupt, containing immense destructive power.

All his vital signs were skyrocketing, soaring to their highest levels...

"This is bad! The energy inside number 72 is too great—our instruments can't handle it!" shouted one of the experimenters.

"Cut the power immediately! Activate self-protection mode..." ordered Professor Fraser.

"It's too late, Professor! The instruments are about to explode! Get down, get down!" Two figures moved like lightning, tackling Professor Fraser to the ground.

"Boom..."

A deafening explosion rang out. The massive instrument couldn't withstand the surging energy and was instantly blown apart. The huge blast shattered the supposedly armor-piercing-bullet-proof glass vessel into pieces. The entire laboratory shook violently three times, and more than a dozen experimenters who didn't escape in time were instantly blown to bits—unrecognizable even to their own mothers.

Amid the flames, a naked figure shot out like a hunting leopard, quickly disappearing at the smoke-filled exit...

When Professor Fraser and a few lucky surviving researchers got to their feet, they found the laboratory in utter chaos, glassware shattered everywhere, and the number 72 test subject had vanished without a trace.

They had never imagined anyone could escape from inside, so the exit door hadn't even been locked.

"Fug Bad! (Goddamn it!)" Professor Fraser couldn't help but curse, then snapped, "Contact 'Lighthouse.' He's the mole I planted in Jiangcheng. Now, it's time to activate him. Tell him, even if he has to dig three feet into the ground, he must bring number 72 back to me—alive or dead!"

...

White shirt, dress pants, walking in Anta sneakers with a catwalk strut.

This was the true picture of Olivia Bolton at this very moment.

Olivia Bolton was moving through the streets like a fish swimming in water.

No ID, no place to stay, and even the mismatched clothes he wore were snatched from a roadside house. He'd even been chased for half a day as a suspected clothes thief, with people shouting, "That underwear thief is back again!"

Heaven knows, he really hadn't stolen anyone's underwear. What would he want with underwear? It's not even warm.

After escaping from the devil's laboratory, Olivia Bolton had sprinted all the way toward the neon lights, toward the crowds.

The more people there were, the safer he felt, because he couldn't be sure if anyone was chasing after him.

He ran from night to day, from sunrise to sunset, and finally reached this city's main street.

The name of this city was Jiangcheng, and Olivia Bolton was now on Jiangcheng Pedestrian Street.

What should he do next?

Olivia Bolton hadn't figured it out yet.

What he had figured out was that he needed to find something to eat first.
