Chapter 59

Spider-Man jumped onto Cross's body and took this ill-intentioned ride with peace of mind.

Not knowing what kind of evil intentions his younger brother had towards him, Cross was busy taking care of things for Leir, stopping and starting along the way for fear that the ride would be too bumpy.

After Leir finished his meal, Cross was about to clean up the remaining potato paste from the pot when a group of thieves appeared and rushed straight towards him.

"Rayl, don't be afraid, hide." Cross turned around and called out to the shivering Rayl, then immediately joined the battle.

He was so focused that he didn't notice that his younger brother, who should have been afraid of him, was watching him fight with a half-smile on his face.

Since the two of them set out on their journey, they have experienced three waves of attacks, and each time they were attacked just when they were resting, as if there was some mysterious force preventing them from resting.

Tsk.

Jiang Zhulang shook his head and thought:

Didn't Cross realize there was something wrong?

Although it was a setting, he was still somewhat surprised by the cruelty of Cross's brother. Looking at his attitude, he couldn't bear to see Cross rest at all, and wished that he would die of exhaustion or hunger.

Jiang Zhulang sighed with a feeling of disappointment. This Cross guy was so strong when he was trying to cheat him, but why did he become like an idiot when he was with his family?

Several throwing knives were used to quickly and efficiently eliminate the enemy. After searching the enemy and taking away his money and belongings out of habit, Cross wiped the blood off his face and looked back at his brother with a gentle smile, "It's okay, Rael."

"Brother...the rice was spilled." Leir pointed apologetically at the pot that was overturned on the ground and said worriedly.

Cross smiled and patted his head. "It's okay, brother, eat some cookies. I'll have to inconvenience Leir to camp outdoors tonight. It's getting late and the distance to the next village is still far. If you keep rushing, your body won't be able to bear it."

After saying that, he rubbed his forehead tiredly, hugged his brother who was still a little confused and scared, and patted him soothingly: "Be good, go to sleep, brother will keep watch at night."

Leir, who was caught off guard and held in his arms, was a little stunned, and then a look of resistance and disgust appeared on his face. He tilted his head and happened to meet the eyes of the small spider that had climbed onto the thin chain beside Cross's ear.

Leir: “!”

He stepped back with a shrill voice like a screaming chicken, "Ahhhhhhh! There's a bug! A spider!!"

Jiang Zhulang: ...

He rolled his eyes, quickly jumped to the ground, and hid in the night in a few seconds.

Cross: "Hmm? Don't be afraid, it's normal to see these in the wild."

Leir: "...Yeah. Sprinkle some insect repellent powder around the camp. I hate bugs!"

"Okay, okay."

Time passed as Jiang Zhulang controlled the spider and participated in the experiment. With his familiarity with the settings, he easily established relationships with the people in the laboratory and became the most popular person among them.

At noon that day, he sat down with Roshia at their regular seats in the restaurant. A young man with freckles and doe eyes sat down on his left. "Hey, Lannuo, have you seen One-Eye and the others?"

In the laboratory, each group of people is responsible for different tasks. One-Eye and his companions are the busiest - they are responsible for taking care of and providing various animals needed for the experiments.

Jiang Zhulang shook his head and looked at Luo Xiya: "Did you see it?"

Luo Xiya thought for a while and replied, "I haven't seen it for two or three days."

Freckles: "Yeah! I was wondering, after all the mice died, I wanted to get a few, but I couldn't find them anywhere. I thought about it carefully, it seems like I haven't seen them for a long time. Where did they go to have fun?"

"Maybe something's wrong? Since you've run out of mice, why not take a break? I see you've been doing experiments for many days straight."

He nodded. "Well, that's all I can do. When I see them, I'm going to kick their asses!"

That was all. He stopped talking and just focused on eating.

Jiang Zhulang and Luo Xia looked at each other, and they tacitly quickened their eating speed and then found an empty room.

Roshia spoke up: "What happened? One-Eye's work is very important to the entire experiment. Even if something happened, it's impossible for the entire team of four to be missing for so many days at the same time."

"The last time I saw him was at noon. He was carrying a bottle of wine and was drunk. You know, he always likes to drink and is not sober every day. As for what he was going to do, I didn't care too much. These days I have been trying to be the 'photo stone' you mentioned."

Jiang Zhulang said in a deep voice: "Most likely something went wrong. Maybe he saw something he shouldn't have seen. The night before yesterday, I had just regained consciousness from the spider, and in a daze, I heard some noises. Moreover, Jeff recently told me in a cryptic way that I should increase the dosage of the drug and be prepared to conduct experiments on large animals."

"Large animals? Cows? Horses? Haven't we done it once? They couldn't last more than three seconds before exploding and dying."

"No, it's even bigger than that dose, maybe..." Jiang Zhulang paused for a moment and said slowly.

"--people."

"Don't forget what their ultimate goal is."

Roshia frowned. "Two hundred years ago, Zekrom, who was known as the greatest alchemist of the time, wanted to create a life alchemy body with arcane power against all odds, but in the end he only got a corpse filled with violent energy. Now, they are eager to experiment with those unstable strange spores on the human body..."

"I have a bad feeling. Lanno, let's go. Don't worry about this. Don't get involved in this. While Jeff is off guard, we can kill him secretly and go far away. No one will find us."

His eyes inadvertently swept across the system screen that was right in front of him. There was only a little progress bar left on the task progress bar, and Jiang Zhulang shook his head.

Luo Xia was a little anxious, and pressed Jiang Zhulang against the door panel with one hand. The temperature from his hand was transmitted to Jiang Zhulang's skin through the thin cloth, making it feel a little hot.

Jiang Zhulang shrank his neck.

"With your intelligence, you can see that they want to create a monster! This is very dangerous! Why can't you be obedient and stay away in time?"

Jiang Zhulang sighed, pulled down his veiny hand, and said helplessly: "No... It's because of the danger that I can't leave. If I stay here, I will have a chance to kill the danger before it sprouts. You have also seen its transmission speed. With the blessing of the holy medicine, the green spores can fill the whole room in an instant. What if one day, it leaks?"

"Besides, didn't Jeff say that they have spent several generations and still have no clear progress? Even if they have the magic medicine, judging from the current progress, it's still too early for danger."

Looking at the wrinkles on Luoxia's brow, Jiang Zhulang wanted to raise his hand to smooth them out, but when he thought of how many people would scold Lannuo for being too gay after he was exposed, he put down his hand and blew air towards his brow instead.

"——Don't frown. You are so young. Be careful not to turn into an old man."

A few strands of hair fell from his forehead and fluttered. Luo Xiya was startled and gently stroked his forehead. The anxiety and anger that rose in his heart disappeared in an instant, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his lips: "Then you should worry less about me."

Roshia's smile now is no longer the stiff mask he wore when they first met. Instead, his eyebrows, muscles, and mouth corners all move harmoniously.

Jiang Zhulang was very pleased, as this showed that his second male lead was well taken care of by him.

"Lan Nuo, you are distracted."

Roshia's voice is different from Cross's elegance. It is low and a little hoarse, like fine raindrops falling on the ground. When you smell it, you feel just the right amount of comfort.

Seeing Luo Xiya showing a rare expression of grievance, Jiang Zhulang smiled and said, "For the sake of my friend not becoming an old man before he's thirty, I'll agree to it with reluctance. Don't worry, nothing will happen. I know what I'm doing."

"Even if there is danger, I will definitely protect you and Martin."

"Hey, what are you two doing sneaking around here?!"

Speak of the devil, here he comes. Martin pushed the door open and looked in surprise at the two people who were gossiping in the empty room.

He closed the door, wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowered his voice, and whispered, "Do you know what I saw?"

"——Room 3, the surviving dog swallowed the one-eyed one..."
