Under the fog lights, the large patches of red on Jiang Qichen's forehead and face became even more noticeable.

He seemed to be trying hard to control his movements, and only when he couldn't resist did he slowly rub the redness on his cheekbone with his fingertips.

With a raised hand, a large, alarming patch of wheal-like urticaria appeared on the back of the hand.

"You've been suppressing the side effects of long-term blood transfusions all this time, and now you can't hide it anymore?"

Lu Sheng gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, the gleaming blade moving forward an inch.

Skin itching, hives, urticaria, and erythema are allergic reactions caused by incompatibility between white blood cell and platelet antigens.

These are all typical signs of long-term blood transfusion.

From the moment she entered the villa, she sensed that something was wrong with Jiang Qichen. After dealing with the mosquitoes, Xu Yi used gestures to tell her about the side effects and symptoms on Jiang Qichen's body.

So, immediately after falling into the basement, she became more vigilant.

Has anyone ever told you that it's better for girls to be a little less intelligent, because being too smart isn't cute?

Jiang Qichen's handsome features, set against the backdrop of large red spots, revealed a bitter expression.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Qichen blew out the flame, his expression complex.

The moment he finished speaking, he shot and blew up the fog light in the corner, plunging the cold and cramped basement into endless darkness once again.

Shashasha.

A faint, rustling sound approached along with the darkness.

It sounded like the harsh noise of fingernails scratching on a blackboard, or like the sound of furry insect legs rubbing against each other.

A chill ran down Lu Sheng’s spine, and she immediately turned to the side to avoid it. A cold wind suddenly swept past the spot where she had just been standing.

Lu Sheng immediately put on her headlamp and saw a huge fifth-tier mutant lying on the wall, staring at her eerily.

The cold wind just now was a gust of wind caused by the insect's legs slashing.

This alien species looked similar to the one that attacked them on the road, but it was far more terrifying in both size and sharp insect legs.

But after just one more glance, Lu Sheng almost vomited up the century egg porridge he had for breakfast.

The alien's enormous head was covered with long, glossy black hair, which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be a female face stretched distorted by its own weight.

The strange human head would occasionally glance towards the corner of the basement, a hint of tenderness appearing in its deep-set eyes.

"You turned Gu Die into a blood servant too?"

Lu Sheng's gaze finally settled on the deep red symbol on the alien's abdomen.

As expected, being love-struck never ends well.

Gu Die's willingness to go to such lengths to find blood and antibodies for Jiang Qichen suggests their relationship is definitely not normal. Yet, despite her tireless efforts, she ultimately ends up as a blood servant.

Looking at that distorted face, she even felt a pang of pity.

It looks so much like it...

It's like the self who was a devoted simp in my previous life.

"I've already stopped you twice on your way to the West Market. Why are you so determined to investigate this?" Jiang Qichen's voice came from behind the wall, carrying a clear sense of helplessness.

Lu Sheng looked up indifferently.

Isn't this counterproductive?

They only wanted to find Sun Zhe; if it weren't for the Blood Servant's sudden attack, she wouldn't have bothered with these things at all.

"Don't worry, as long as you die, I will ensure the safety of the rest of them."

Whoosh!

A black cloud instantly rushed into the ventilation opening.

There were hundreds of mutated bats!

The immense pressure on my eardrum struck again, and a sharp, needle-like pain pierced the inside of my ear canal near my temple.

"Oh."

Lu Sheng slightly opened his mouth to try to reduce the pressure in his ear canal, "A piece of trash who only dares to hide behind a woman, does he even deserve to decide my life and death!"

She wrapped the hilt of the knife around her palm with spider silk to prevent herself from dropping the weapon due to sound waves.

At the same time, he swiftly scurried to the side, his agile movements constantly dodging Gu Die's sharp insect legs and pointed tailbone attacks.

The basement was not as spacious as the open wilderness, and Gu Die's huge body was far less agile than Lu Sheng's at the same speed.

But in addition to dodging Gu Die's attacks, she also had to avoid Jiang Qichen's hidden sniper shots.

An experienced fighter like Jiang Qichen has a hit rate of at least 70% against stationary targets. She could only maintain high-speed dynamic movement while being careful of bullets, and had no chance to use mold rounds again.

The long chase quickly exhausted Gu Die's patience. Suddenly, she flapped her wings and swooped down, her massive body crashing straight into Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng seized the opportunity, leaned back at the right angle, and slid sideways through Gu Die's abdomen and feet.

At the same time, she turned her Tang sword upwards and used the momentum to stab it into Gu Die's hard body.

Caught off guard by the immense inertia, Gu Die was brutally slashed along her abdomen to her tailbone by the Tang sword.

The excruciating pain of her abdomen being ripped open caused Gu Die to let out a shrill scream as her massive body crashed to the ground.

Lu Sheng's palm also went numb from the immense force of the momentum. If it weren't for the spider silk binding him, the Tang sword would have almost slipped from his grasp.

Taking advantage of Gu Die's weakness, Lu Sheng hid in the space, causing Jiang Qichen to temporarily lose sight of her, and at the same time, he leaped onto Gu Die's back.

The next second, she suddenly appeared out of the space, quickly used her Tang sword to cut off Gu Die's sharp mouthparts, then took out the white phosphorus gun and shoved it directly into Gu Die's mouth.

No matter how hard the outer shell is, the internal organs are soft.

boom!

A loud explosion suddenly erupted behind me!

"Cough cough! All that ash got into my mouth!"

Zhang Xiaojuan's voice came through in a daze.

Once the dust settled, what they saw was Lu Sheng riding on the back of the giant alien creature, expressionlessly firing two bursts of bullets at it.

"Well..." Zhang Xiaojuan clicked her tongue, "Every time there's a scene like this, Sister Lu always has a kind of cool, carefree attitude towards others."

The people present: "..."

Indeed, there's no need to worry about it anyway; those who experienced it up close have probably already been reincarnated...

This brief pause of one second finally gave Jiang Qichen an opportunity.

Just as Lu Sheng was about to jump off the alien creature, a bullet came from the shadows and aimed at her delicate profile.

Before Lu Sheng could react, a powerful force suddenly wrapped around her waist, and she landed steadily in a warm embrace.

She looked up in surprise, and what came into view was Xu Yiqing's handsome and noble profile, and a pair of angry eyes.

The bullet was suspended in the air by Xu Yi's spatial sealing, and then fell to the ground with a thud, rolling to Lu Sheng's feet.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yi raised his long leg and kicked the earthen wall beside him.

A hidden door was kicked over with tremendous force, revealing Jiang Qichen's face, which was swollen like a steamed bun.

Lu Sheng blushed with embarrassment and quickly broke free from Xu Yi's embrace.

Having lived for over twenty years, she had never hugged a man before...

"now you."

Composing himself, Lu Sheng placed the blade against Jiang Qichen's neck.

"Speak your mind, what's the point of resorting to knives and guns?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Wu Hainan rushed forward and stood in front of Jiang Qichen.

"You're looking for a blood pacter, aren't you? They're right behind you."

Lu Sheng's beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as the tip of her knife pierced through Jiang Qichen's black windbreaker.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the shocking red patches on his arms and neck were finally exposed.
