Ji Ding

The fourth-level corrupt man who was leading the group kicked his legs, put his hands on the ground, and ran over like a wild beast.

Lu Tingxiao said without hesitation: "You retreat. I'll hold it off."

But the White Eagle Team, which has always had strict military discipline, did not move this time.

Ling Shi even took half a step forward and moved closer to him.

Lu Tingxiao was furious: "When did I stop keeping my word?!"

"Hey, hey," a familiar voice sounded outside the window: "I've told you you're no good, why don't you admit it?"

Ling Shi turned his head and saw Ji Ding's face appear outside the window, hanging upside down from the upstairs.

He smiled and asked, "Yo, it looks like an emergency. Do you need any help?"

Seeing that the corrupt people had already rushed in front of them, not one, but five... Ling Shi hurriedly shouted: "Any conditions are negotiable!"

Ji Ding rolled over and landed on the ground, brushing off the dust from his hands: "This is more like a proper look."

He raised his chin and said, "The big guy is mine, and the four little guys are yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, five corrupt men rushed towards him.

Lu Tingxiao and Ling Shi dodged to the side. Almost at the same time, all three of them activated their control abilities.

All five corrupted men fell stiffly to the ground from mid-air.

Seeing that the corrupted people were under control, Ling Shi grabbed one and spent a full five minutes to drain it.

Next one...

When he drew the third one, his body was already stretched to the limit, and he quickly threw the drawn cell out with his other hand...

Operating on both sides simultaneously required almost double the energy. By the time he finished dealing with all four of the corrupted people, he was already very exhausted.

Even during the three months in North Africa, he had never dealt with so many third-level corrupt people at once.

He glanced at Ji Ding and found that he was staring at the fourth-level corrupt man. The two of them stood face to face, like elementary school students who had made a mistake, and stood very straight.

Ling Shi suddenly found the scene in front of him a little funny. He shouted, "Hey, do you need help?"

Unexpectedly, a light flashed in Ji Ding's eyes, and the fourth-level corrupt man actually staggered towards the window.

It walked straight to the window, slowly stepped onto the windowsill, grabbed it with both hands, and jumped out of the window on the 88th floor...

The whole room gasped.

This Ji Ding... is terrifyingly strong.

Ji Ding turned around with a smile on his face and looked at them: "Okay, now that we've dealt with the annoying guys, we can talk about the deal."

Lu Tingxiao took a wrong step and stood in front of Ling Shi: "Tell me."

Ji Ding raised his hand and pointed at him: "Hey, hey, it's the little brother behind you who just promised me, don't block it."

Ling Shi patted Lu Tingxiao's shoulder, comforted him, and asked, "What do you want?"

Although Ji Ding still looks like a human, it is actually difficult to say what his mentality is like.

Just like when he first met Lu Tingxiao, Lu Tingxiao's identity was also wavering between that of a corrupted person and a human. Moreover, at that time, Lu Tingxiao was only at the first level.

And this fourth-level Ji Ding... maybe in his heart, he has a stronger sense of identity with the fourth-level corrupt man just now.

Ji Ding glanced at the White Eagle team members around him and said, "What I'm going to say next involves some secrets, not just mine, but possibly others'. Are you sure you want to say it here, little brother?"

"Just say it here," Ling Shi hesitated for only half a second before making the decision.

The secret that Ji Ding mentioned is very likely related to Lu Tingxiao. After all, they both escaped from the human laboratory of Country M and possessed the same evolutionary abilities.

As for Lu Tingxiao's abnormality, he was very cautious and didn't want anyone to know, for fear that Yu Zhengping and Xiao Yang would forcibly detain him.

But now the situation is completely different.

Not to mention that he had great trust in the members of the White Eagle Team behind him, even if the matter was really reported to Yu Zhengping and Xiao Yang, Ling Shi believed that Lu Tingxiao had the ability to protect himself.

"Okay." Ji Ding nodded and pointed to his head. "Like Captain Lu, I have a problem with frequent fainting."

"A while ago, I took some time off to visit the Chinese base." Several people exclaimed in surprise as he spoke these words. No one knew how he had gotten from that uninhabited area of ​​North Africa to China, and then from China to here. All this couldn't be a coincidence.

Ji Ding tutted, "Isn't that strange? You didn't conduct strict screening of those North African refugees. It was easy for them to blend in."

He waved his hand. "That's not important. What's important is that I've learned a lot about you guys at the Chinese base. Captain Lu shouldn't be fainting as often lately, right? Your illness... should have been cured by this young man, right?"

"My request is not high. I just want this little brother to help me increase some Nether Cells."

Ling Shi was about to speak when Lu Tingxiao cursed him out loud: "Get lost!"

His Nether cells were obtained through kissing Ling Shi and exchanging fluids during other more intimate things. Just thinking about Ling Shi treating Ji Ding like this, Lu Tingxiao wanted to kill him now.

Ling Shi grabbed Lu Tingxiao and cursed him softly in his ear, "Is your brain filled with shit? Is that the only way to increase your Nether Cells?"

After his scolding, Lu Tingxiao finally calmed down.

Yes, Ling Shi’s cells contain components that can synthesize Hades cells. In addition to the intimate method of direct exchange, he can also draw some blood for the other party.

He himself also sucked his blood at the beginning.

But when he thought about Ling Shi having his blood drawn, he was still extremely unhappy and snorted heavily.

Ling Shi tutted, hit him hard on the head, and said in a lower voice, "What are you thinking? Just get something and I'll spit in it, okay?"

Lu Tingxiao's eyes widened in a flash of laughter. He tried to hold back his laughter in front of Ji Ding.

"Hey, hey, hey," Ji Ding said, clearly dissatisfied. "What kind of cunning scheme are you guys secretly discussing? My request, compared to my contribution, shouldn't be high, right? Is it really that difficult to negotiate?"

Ling Shi raised the corner of his mouth and said to Ji Ding, "Okay, although your request is not easy to do, I will help you because you still regard yourself as a human being."

These words truly came from his heart. It was entirely possible for Ji Ding to side with the corrupted. He could completely manipulate them to his advantage. It was no exaggeration to say he could become their king.

Ji Ding also tsk-tsk-tsked, looking at Ling Shi and saying, "Isn't it just because the little brother is good-looking? There are so many gay people, but none of them are as pleasing to the eye as you..."

"You'd better face reality," Lu Tingxiao interrupted him. "If you want to return to human society, then, in a place without corrupted people, you're just an ordinary person. Compared to the White Eagles, you're still a powerless ordinary person."

Indeed, although Ji Ding had reached the fourth level, his abilities lay primarily in controlling corrupted beings. Unlike Lu Tingxiao, he had no military training. Therefore, while he possessed a formidable physique, he was no match for Lu Tingxiao in a one-on-one fight.

Ji Ding glared at him. "Hmph, you haven't even left the area of ​​the gay crowd yet, and you're already trying to get tough with me? Do you believe I can keep your entire team here?"

"Hey hey hey," Ling Shi tried to smooth things over: "We're all family, what are you doing?"

He stood in front of Lu Tingxiao, blocking his view, and said to Ji Ding, "Don't worry, I'll keep my promise to you."

He looked around and said, "It's not safe here. How about we change places first?"

Ji Ding looked at him, his expression finally relaxing a bit. "I know you're here looking for the Dragon Horn Skull. I have some clues. Come with me."

This is a pleasant surprise.

Ling Shi nodded excitedly and pulled Lu Tingxiao with his backhand: "Let's go."

Ji Ding turned around and walked out of the room and into the corridor outside.

When it came to the mission objective, Lu Tingxiao didn't act willfully and asked, "How did you know we were looking for the dragon horn bones?"

Ji Ding tsk-tsks and looks at Lu Tingxiao with a hint of disdain. "Didn't I just tell you that I went to the Huaguo base? Don't forget what I used to do. I could even find out what's wrong with you, Captain Lu, let alone something as serious as your search for the Dragon Horn Remnant. There should be quite a few people in the base who know about this."

Lu Tingxiao was very patient on key matters and was not angered by his gaze. Instead, he continued to ask, "Then how did you find the clue about the dragon horn bones?"

"That's easy too." Ji Ding held his head high. "That big guy just now is already conscious. Unfortunately, it's completely defeated by me. If we just ask it where there's something wrong nearby, we'll find it."

Hearing this, Ling Shi couldn't help but think about it.

Ji Ding's abilities were truly exaggerated. Which side he sided with might directly influence the outcome of the battle between humans and corrupted people.

He should be allowed to stay and help humanity at all costs.

"Where is that big guy talking about?" Ling Shi asked gently and took two steps closer to Ji Ding.

Ji Ding smiled and pointed downwards: "The basement."

*

After walking down the stairs in circles for a long time, everyone was exhausted.

Zuo Hao pulled Ling and whispered, "Why don't you use a rappelling rope?"

Ling Shi patted his arm. "I forgot about it at first, but then I remembered and was worried Ji Ding wouldn't be able to use it, considering he's so tall. Then I thought he should be fine, but if I bring it up now... he might get mad. Can't you see he's exhausted from walking? At this critical moment... it's better to mind your own business."

Lu Tingxiao next to him chuckled and tried to hold back his laughter, but he quickly suppressed it.

Ji Ding, who was walking in the front, turned around, put his hands on his hips, and asked without any dignity, "I'm telling you, don't have any bad intentions. I can change my mind at any time, but you can't guarantee that you will be able to leave this building safely."

Ling Shi patted Zuo Hao's shoulder and gave him a reassuring look.

The trust between them and Ji Ding is still precarious, as unstable as walking on a tightrope, so... let's not talk about it.

Zuo Hao had a look on his face as if he had swallowed a fly, and continued to follow him downstairs helplessly.

With so many steps, I feel like one-third of my meniscus has been worn away.

I walked silently for more than an hour and finally reached the first floor.

At this moment, Ji Ding, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted and jumped back several steps.

Ling Shi hurriedly caught up and followed his gaze, only to see a pitch-black face.
