The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1023

“Our two comrades have been missing for three days now. I suspect that they have been captured.

“If… they were unfortunately sacrificed, it would be fine. However, if they were captured by the researchers for

experiments, it would be

unimaginable.” The more Aria spoke, the more anxious she became. The other agents also looked worried.

The experiments going on in District 17 would terrorize even the bravest.

The experiments conducted inside were shocking and had already exceeded morality and ethics.

Moreover, in the western region, there have been many cases of

werewolves and lizardmen attacking people.

These cases were suppressed by Melta officials, who only announced that they were rabies or viral infections.

However, the real reason was that all the perpetrators had been injected with mutated genes. The goal was to

allow humans and animals to hybridize their genes and evolve into higher-level creatures.

For example, dogs have a keen sense of smell, so they would use that. Leopards are able to run fast, so they would

extract a leopard’s muscle tissue genes and so on.

After hybridizing these genes into new creatures, they would continue to hybridize and extract them. Through

evolution and reproduction, they would finally create mutants with powerful genes.

Other than that, there was also research on aliens, extinct animals, and so

1.

Since they were doing research, they had to capture a large number of human bodies for experiments. Special

agents like them, who had received rigorous training and had good physical fitness and strong willpower, were the

best research subjects.

Bruce’s expression darkened as his mind raced.

“Bruce, I’m really worried right now.

“This task is too difficult. More than a dozen comrades have been sacrificed since the start of the mission.

“I’m worried… that we will also…” Aria said as she looked at Bruce sadly.

The other agent with the code name Fry was also depressed. “What should we do now? What’s the next order?”

“Open the satellite map. I want to study the terrain of District 17.”

“It’s impossible. District 17 is hidden underground. We can’t see it on the satellite map. Besides, there won’t be any

landmarks.

“So far, none of our comrades are able to go near District 17th.”

Leo added, “That’s right! District 17th is impregnable and guarded by soldiers. We probably can’t enter either.”

Bruce rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice, “That can’t be true. There must be a way.”

As he spoke, a bold idea appeared in Bruce’s mind.

If he wanted to enter the District 17 alive, perhaps the best way was to expose himself deliberately and allow

himself to be captured for experiments.

Other than that, no other method was feasible.

However, this method was too risky. Those who were captured for experiments might be better off dead. Under the

experiments of those crazy researchers, who knew what kind of monsters they would become? “What is it?” Aria

asked anxiously.

Bruce swallowed and suppressed his thoughts. “Forget it. I haven’t thought through it properly yet. This method is

too risky and not very feasible.”

When the others heard this, they pelted Bruce with questions. “Why. don’t you tell us about it first!”

“That’s right. Let’s discuss it together. Whether it can be used or not, it’s at least a breakthrough.”

“…No, this is still too risky and immature,” Bruce replied worriedly.

“The riskier it is, the more likely it is successful. If you don’t tell us, how -can we think of a better way?”

Bruce couldn’t resist the questioning. He took a deep breath and said, “If we deliberately send someone to be

captured and sent to District 17th for experiments, do you think it will work?”

When Aria and Leo heard this, their faces were filled with shock.

“We can inject invisible cameras and listening devices into the bodies of the undercover agents. That way, we can

know what secrets are hidden in

District 17.

“However, this method is too risky. Those who are captured for experiments might not be able to come back,”

Bruce voiced his worries. The expressions of Aria, Leo, and the others instantly darkened.

This… was indeed a way.

However, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves?

Moreover, the mission was very difficult and he might not succeed. Even if the chosen agent entered District 17

successfully, he would definitely be examined carefully. If he was not cautious, he would not be able to find anything

and might even lose his life.

Bruce sighed. “So, we should think of another way. This method is too risky and not mature enough.”

“That’s the only way.”

“What about the two comrades who have been captured? Are we going to give up on them?”

Bruce and Fry looked at each other with grave expressions.

There was really no other way now.

Even if they wanted to save them, they were powerless.

Not to mention there were only a few of them. Even if a group of mercenaries came, they might not be able to

enter District 17.

“Let’s study the terrain first.

“It’s best if we can find the exact location.”

Fry sighed. “I think we should eat first. We can’t think properly on an empty stomach,” Fry said gloomily.

Leo added, “We don’t have many daily necessities left. We need to go to the city to buy them.”

“Which one of you is going?”

“I’ll go!”

“I’ll go! All of you stay here. I’ve stayed in this godforsaken place long enough. I’m going to the city to take a

breather.” Fry looked irritated.

“Alright then! Be careful.”

“Okay, got it.”

Bruce reopened the satellite map and began to check the terrain.

Aria sat opposite Bruce and glanced at him from time to time. Looking at his focused and cold expression, Aria’s

heart sped up.

Even if they couldn’t be husband and wife, Aria still felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction working with him like

this.

At Sherane Bay Villa, Joanna looked at the message from Bruce and became even more anxious.

Now, Joanna was almost certain.

Bruce’s trip to Melta was definitely not about business. Bruce definitely had something to hide, and it was related to

Aria.

“What the hell is going on?

“Bastard! How many more secrets is he hiding from me?” Joanna thought furiously.

Joanna’s mind came up with countless possibilities.

But no matter how she hypothesized, she would never have thought that Bruce and Aria were agents.

Joanna was feeling distraught when a call came in again.

“Hey…”

Grace’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Joann. It’s me, Grace.”

“Yes? What’s wrong?” Joanna calmed down and asked.

Grace remained silent on the other end of the phone.

“Grace? What happened?” Joanna asked patiently.

To be honest, Joanna was feeling anxious and restless. She did not feel like conversing with Grace.
