Chapter 17: The Cold-Blooded Sentinel's Overbearing Love for the Little Guide: Torture

Wen Ziting, who should have been locked in the laboratory, appeared outside the door.

Wen Ziting's face was a horrifying, bloody mess. His features were twisted and contorted, and his eyes were bulging out. His eyeballs seemed to be in danger of popping out if he moved them even slightly.

His exposed skin was a deathly gray.

Gu Shanshan stared wide-eyed in horror, backing away repeatedly, and tried to call out to Gong Ye.

"Zombies, zombies, oh my god..."

But before he could finish speaking, Wen Ziting moved with superhuman speed, rushing to his side in an instant.

She reached out and covered his mouth, preventing him from saying a word.

"Hmm..."

Gu Shanshan stared fearfully at the person so close to her. The closer she looked at Wen Ziting, the more terrifying he seemed.

The everted skin trembled, as if insects were wriggling and trying to crawl out from inside.

The arm covering his mouth was covered with mottled, unsightly scales, and Wen Ziting's scent was like that of a sewer, making one want to vomit.

"Hiss..."

Wen Ziting's mouth moved, but he couldn't utter a single word except for a harsh, hissing sound.

"Mmm..."

Gu Shanshan struggled, and Wen Ziting's face showed annoyance. He seemed to want to say something but couldn't, and stared at Gu Shanshan with angry and resentful eyes.

With a forceful chop, he delivered a sharp blow to Gu Shanshan's neck, knocking her unconscious.

Seeing Gu Shanshan faint, Wen Ziting's emotions finally calmed down a bit.

He hoisted Gu Shanshan's body and appeared outside the door in a flash. On the floor outside the door lay a man in a white coat, unconscious.

Wen Ziting's flesh and skin seemed to come alive, writhing and churning, with strange scales and feathers constantly growing out of them.

As those disgusting feathers and scales grew, they seemed to be nourished by Wen Ziting's flesh and blood.

Wen Ziting's body is now like a petri dish, nourishing these feathers and scales. Every feather or scale that grows is a great torment for Wen Ziting's body.

He mutated, becoming stronger in every aspect of his physical abilities, but at a terrible cost.

When Wen Ziting sensed this mutation, he felt fear.

Each time his physical abilities improved, it was accompanied by immense pain, and he wanted to end this pain.

Because of the mutation, Wen Ziting is no longer a normal person. In addition, all the elite sentinels in the base were having a meeting in the top-floor conference room, so no one noticed when Wen Ziting left with Gu Shanshan.

......

Three hours later, the meeting regarding the zombie elimination plan concluded.

As soon as the meeting ended, Gong Ye hurried back to his room.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the room door was wide open, and blood was spreading from the outside into the room.

"Sparkle!"

Gong Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he ran quickly toward his room.

Upon entering, he found the room empty. The coat he had draped over Gu Shanshan had fallen to the floor, stained with blood.

The blood was dark purple and smelled foul.

Gong Ye's face was extremely ugly, and the veins on his hands, which were gripping his coat, were bulging.

He roared, "Guards!"

......

Boom!

After a loud bang, Gu Shanshan was startled awake by the thunder and opened her eyes abruptly.

The moment I opened my eyes, I was met with Wen Ziting's terrifying, bulging eyes.

"ah!"

Gu Shanshan was so frightened she almost fainted, clutching her pounding heart and letting out a scream.

"Hiss!"

Wen Ziting stood very close to Gu Shanshan, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at her, letting out a resentful roar.

The two were very close, and when Wen Ziting opened his mouth, Gu Shanshan could see that the teeth in Wen Ziting's mouth were no longer human teeth.

It became extremely sharp.

Like the shark teeth that Gu Shanshan once saw in a TV series.

Terrified, they retreated further and further.

Gu Shanshan clearly realized a terrifying fact: Wen Ziting had mutated.

Its bare skin was covered with feathers and scales, clearly indicating that it had mutated into a strange, unrecognizable monster.

"hiss!"

Wen Ziting roared angrily, grabbed Gu Shanshan by the neck, and dragged her away.

A sharp pain shot through her neck. Gu Shanshan reached out to grab Wen Ziting's hands, but instead grabbed a handful of scales.

"Cough... Let me go, cough cough cough..."

Because of the suffocating pain in her neck, Gu Shanshan coughed and tried to get Wen Ziting to let go of her, scratching him with great force.

He scratched and tore some flesh and blood off Wen Ziting's arm, leaving it sticky and clinging to his palm.

But Gu Shanshan had no time to care. Compared to the disgusting thing in his hand, he was more afraid that Wen Ziting would strangle him to death.

His mission is not yet complete; he absolutely cannot die here.

The scratching became more forceful; "Let go..."

They tore off several more pieces of flesh from Wen Ziting's arm.

"hiss!"

Because of the mutation, Wen Ziting was screaming in pain all over his body. His arm was being scratched by Gu Shanshan, and the muscles on his face were twitching from the pain. He let out a warning roar at Gu Shanshan.

Gu Shanshan was stunned for a few seconds by Wen Ziting's terrifying appearance.

In those few seconds, Gu Shanshan's body was slammed hard onto a wooden board by Wen Ziting.

"ah......"

Gu Shanshan screamed in pain as her back slammed against the cold, hard wooden board.

Before he could react, his limbs were restrained by Wen Ziting, and the rough ropes were tied around his limbs almost instantly.

Gu Shanshan's body was restrained and tied to the cold wooden board, unable to move.

"Wen Ziting, what do you want to do? Let me go!"

Before Gu Shanshan could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and let out a painful scream.

The doctor on the ground had already been woken up by the commotion.

Upon waking up, she saw Wen Ziting's terrifying appearance, neither human nor ghost, and screamed in fright.

"A ghost...a ghost!"

My crotch area was completely wet; I was so scared I peed myself.

Gu Shanshan smelled the fishy odor and turned her head to look at the doctor at the research institute.

He wanted to say something to comfort him, but because of the pain in his abdomen, he couldn't say anything.

The doctor's shrill screams irritated Wen Ziting, so he temporarily let Gu Shanshan go and turned to let out an angry roar at the doctor.

"hiss!"

The doctor was silenced by the monstrous roar, his eyes wide with terror, his body trembling and his face ashen.

But things finally quieted down.

The room was quiet except for the sound of Wen Ziting's feathers and scales rustling and growing.

It creaked and groaned, eerie and unsettling.

Gu Shanshan was a little scared by Wen Ziting's shout just now and didn't dare to make a sound for a moment.

He looked around and found that he was in an abandoned warehouse with an exposed roof and dilapidated surroundings. After the rumble of thunder, a light drizzle began to fall.

The location Wen Ziting chose had an intact roof and no leaks, but rainwater was falling from the roof in other areas, soaking a large part of the warehouse.

The ground was covered in muddy water, and the earthy smell of the soil mingled with the bloody smell on Wen Ziting's body.

It smells terrible.

The mutations in his body continued, and Wen Ziting could not bear the pain of his flesh being torn apart and rebuilt. He opened his arms, looked up at the sky, and let out a hoarse and unpleasant roar.

The sound of raindrops dripping down filled the cold, rainy night with a chilling, eerie atmosphere.

Wen Ziting roared for more than ten seconds, then turned his head and stared hatefully at Gu Shanshan on the wooden board.

That one glance sent chills down Gu Shanshan's spine.

Her face was deathly pale, and her heart almost stopped.

Wen Ziting glared fiercely at Gu Shanshan, then turned and walked towards the doctor, lifting the doctor's limp body and carrying him to the wooden board where Gu Shanshan was tied.

He fell heavily to the ground.

The doctor was so frightened by Wen Ziting's terrifying appearance that his legs went weak, and he had no strength or will to resist.

Wen Ziting took out a stolen medical kit and threw it on the wooden board.

He opened the medicine box, took out an injection, and forcefully inserted the needle into Gu Shanshan's vein.

"Um......"

A sharp pain shot through her arm, and Gu Shanshan screamed in pain.

Wen Ziting hated him intensely, so his actions were naturally anything but gentle.

During the blood draw, Gu Shanshan bit her lower lip tightly in pain, drawing blood from her bright red lips.

Wen Ziting drew a whole tube of blood from Gu Shanshan and forcibly placed the drawn blood into the doctor's hand.

Then he tossed another note to the doctor.

On that note, a few words were written in a distorted manner: Use his blood to develop a vaccine to save me!

These words were clearly written by Wen Ziting.

He then threw all the data he had stolen from the research institute at the doctor's feet.

When Wen Ziting woke up on the operating table, he had read through the vaccine research materials in the laboratory. Since he was a medical student, he was naturally able to understand those research materials.

He knew that the vaccine he received was formulated based on Gu Shanshan's blood, and he believed that Gu Shanshan's blood had harmed him in this way.

He also knew that Gu Shanshan had antibodies in her blood, and that if he could successfully develop the right vaccine using the antibodies in Gu Shanshan's blood, he would definitely be able to recover to his original state.

Once he recovers, he will extract his blood to make a vaccine, which will be injected into Gu Shanshan's body so that Gu Shanshan will also look like him now.

Let Gu Shanshan also experience the pain he is in now, where he can neither die nor live.

After understanding what was happening, the doctor nodded under the menacing look in Wen Ziting's eyes.

He stammered, "Okay, I'll do... I'll do anything."

"hiss!"

After receiving the doctor's answer, Wen Ziting roared.

Take an axe out of the box.

Standing in front of Gu Shanshan with an axe, even though he still needed Gu Shanshan's blood and couldn't let her die, it didn't stop him from chopping off Gu Shanshan's limbs.

The axe blade gleamed coldly, and it swung down forcefully towards Gu Shanshan's arm...
