Chapter 65

For several days, everyone in the laboratory tested various drugs on Cross, and every time he fell into a coma, Jiang Zhulang cleaned and treated him.

During this time, Cross did not utter a word.

On the day when his stabbed eye completely recovered, students from the Warlock Academy came.

Most of them were deceived by Pu Si, and based on their blind trust in their teachers, they didn't even know where their destination was or what they were going to do. At first glance, their eyes were clear and stupid.

Jeff was very happy about their arrival, which meant that the consumables for the experiment had increased. Previously, he was a little restrained in the preparation of the dosage because he was the only warlock, Cross, but with this group of people, he could finally let go.

"Boss, leave this man to me. After all, he is with Master Lei Er..." Jiang Zhulang said to Jeff after finishing another daily experiment.

Earlier, when Rail came to the lab and asked about the progress of the experiment, he also mocked Bocrosse, and Jeff introduced him to Rail.

Although the black-clad team sent by Leier has fought Jiang Zhulang more than once, he himself does not know him. After failing to use the herbs brought back by Cross, Leier puts his hope of healing himself and activating his bloodline talent on experiments. At the same time, his men set out again to search for Roshia's whereabouts.

It is true that the most dangerous place happens to be the safest. Even if the team of men in black searched the entire continent, they would never have thought that the person they were looking for was right under the nose of their master.

The search for Roshia has not yet yielded any results. Riel, who has an inexplicable obsession that his brother's experimental data is more suitable for him, hopes that the laboratory can save Cross's life while collecting data on him. Therefore, Jiang Zhulang takes this opportunity to propose that he take over this troublesome matter.

Jeff's mind was completely focused on the thirty Warlock Academy students who had unknowingly fallen into the trap, so he was naturally happy to see Jiang Zhulang's proposal.

Jeff and the people in the laboratory had no intention of holding back the Warlock Academy students who fell into their hands. In just a few days, ten people could not withstand the violent force and exploded to death.

But it is precisely because of this that their experiments have made considerable progress.

"Attention, attention! Host, please actively complete the main mission and prevent the impending world-destroying crisis!!!"

Jiang Zhulang, who was eating cakes and chatting with Luo Xia, looked at the large system words popping up crazily on the screen, and a bite of cake got stuck in his throat.

The system, which he regarded as a weapon for posting on the forum because it was too quiet, reminded Jiang Zhulang what its function was with its constantly flashing dazzling red light and devilish fluorescent rolling fonts.

Jiang Zhulang made up an excuse to say goodbye to Luo Xia, and when he returned to the room, he felt an annoying red light in front of his retina.

"Will you just stop?"

"Ding! The host's negative attitude has been detected, and the scene of the apocalyptic disaster is now automatically played."

The attempt to stop it was ineffective. The system completely ignored Jiang Zhulang's wishes and forcibly enlarged the translucent light curtain, playing out the scene that Jiang Zhulang had imagined countless times in his mind in a dynamic form.

It was an ordinary day. Following an explosion at the Holy Spirit Medicine Society's site, green smoke of unknown color spread in the wind.

That green is dark and dirty. Just one glance at it will reveal that it contains countless unspeakable viruses.

The green smoke first spread to the villages around the site where the drug was stationed. Countless people looked up at the smoke that covered the sky and the earth, and unknowingly inhaled it into their bodies.

Cats, dogs, mice, snakes and ants were the first to undergo mutations. The fur and scales on their bodies fell off, and yellow-green crystal pustules instantly covered their bodies. Some grew rapidly in size, some were covered with fangs and bone spurs, and some could not withstand the brutal force and turned into a pool of smelly blood.

Next, it's people.

A huge force pulled him, and the world was spinning. Jiang Zhulang closed his eyes and opened them again. A bloody mouth with rotating eyeballs and tentacle suction cups was right in front of him. His consciousness had already been systematically projected into the bodies of the villagers at the disaster site.

Jiang Zhulang instinctively dodged to the side and tried to use his arcane skills, but he found that he had no strength left and could not use them. As a result, within five seconds of regaining consciousness, he was killed by the alien beast.

The pain was so real that it seemed to be engraved deep in his soul. He could even hear the friction sound of sharp teeth crushing bones.

Jiang Zhulang's body lightened, and he floated in the air in the posture of Ah Piao, staring at the purgatory on earth.

The crowd that was originally fleeing suddenly stopped, and most of them were twitching all over, their eyeballs turned white, and strange blue-black lines or eerie fluorescent purple invaded their bodies along their meridians, covering their bodies. They were mutated like animals and had lost their consciousness and sanity.

In this strange place, the relationship between mutated humans and beasts changed from hunter and hunted to companions. Together, they chased and attacked the few people who had not mutated. Primitive and bloody bites were everywhere.

In a short while, there was no one left alive in the several large villages surrounding the Holy Spirit Medicine Society, which had a population of over a hundred people. Blood, corpses, broken bones, and dirty objects were everywhere.

The culprit that caused all this was blown away by the endless wind. The scene changed and Jiang Zhulang's consciousness was once again cast into the body of a sorcerer.

In front of him was a door panel that was about to collapse, and outside the door panel were his wife and daughter, who were also sorcerers. However, they had lost their minds.

Green smoke entered their bodies, and violence and bloodthirstiness filled their minds. Their originally weak bloodline talents were violently transformed. The ten-year-old girl forcibly pinched off her own head and threw it at the wooden door panel. The head exploded and the door panel shattered.

Jiang Zhulang wanted to use arcane magic to resist, but the grief and reluctance in his body interfered with his movements. His arms moved up and down several times, and he was unable to launch an attack facing his "wife" who had a strange smile and was covered in black viscous liquid.

Then, a small part of the little girl's exploded flesh and blood stained his cheeks. The flesh and blood squirmed like a sick person, and grew one mouth after another with sharp teeth, biting his cheek flesh hard.

Before he could get rid of the intensive bites, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the building behind Jiang Zhulang. A strange man with three heads and six arms, whose legs transformed into two snake tails, one big and one small, stretched out his claws, pierced through his heart, and crushed his heart.

Then, he once again transformed into the form of a spirit and floated in the air. An unknown force gathered under his feet, lifting him up until he could take in the tragic situation of the entire city.

Fighting is everywhere.

Jiang Zhulang's consciousness was constantly being wrapped around and violently entered into various bodies, including those of men and women, young and old, sorcerers and ordinary people. He could no longer remember how many times he had experienced death.

In the end, he almost forgot who he was. He was overwhelmed by fear, sorrow, and pain, and assimilated by this hellish scene.

The last time, he turned into a mutated giant beast, his mind filled with manic emotions, his eyes were full of blood, and he had only one thought, which was -

Kill, kill, kill!

The humans who had not yet mutated fled in panic, and the strange smell of meat emanating from them attracted him to chase. The beast was so big that its body was bulging with tumors, and if you looked closely, you could vaguely see that they were human and animal faces.

The ever-present swelling pain in his body and the fragrance emitted by the human body forced him to chase, fight, and eat without stopping for a moment. Behind him was an innumerable army of mutants.

The green smoke still hung in the sky, dyeing the sky a murky yellow-green. In just a few months, the entire Nidos continent underwent a huge change, with only one in ten survivors left. The entire continent lost its vitality, leaving only the stench of decay.

"Lanno..."

"Lanno!"

In the blur, there was a voice coming from far away, calling in my ear.

Lanno...?

Who is Lan Nuo...?

Who am I?

Jiang Zhulang woke up and stared at the ceiling in a daze. For a moment he couldn't remember where he was.

"Lan Nuo, you're finally awake!" His limp hands were held and someone excitedly hugged his waist.

He seemed like a rusted part, his eyes moving stiffly as he looked at the person in front of him.

The man had hair, heterochromatic pupils, and dry lips that opened and closed, as if he was saying something.

Jiang Zhulang was stunned for a long time before he regained his normal cognition of the world. He recognized that the person in front of him was Luo Xia, and the person behind him who was staring at him eagerly was Martin.

After countless deaths and rebirths that seemed like a dream, his memory, mind, and the influence of his □ became blurred and dissipated. Jiang Zhulang finally realized what day it was.

"I...what happened?" His memory still remained at the time when he returned to his room alone and the system forced him to play the scene of doomsday. But judging from the current situation, it was obvious that something had happened.

As soon as he said this, he was surprised to find that his voice was dry and rough, like sandpaper scraping the ground, hoarse and unpleasant.

Roshia quickly picked up the water cup and put it to his lips. After he drank the whole cup of water in one breath, he said, "You have been in a coma for half a month. During this period, no matter how Martin and I called you, you didn't respond. Even Jeff came to see you and put down several bottles of medicine. But no matter what medicine it was, it couldn't be fed into your mouth... If you weren't still breathing, I almost thought you..."

At this point, he was already sobbing uncontrollably, with big drops of tears sliding down his chin and dripping onto Jiang Zhulang's hand, rolling and hot so hard that it was alarming.

"Lan Nuo, what happened to you..." Fear and worry almost overflowed from Luo Xia's eyes.

Martin moved to the other side of the bed, took Jiang Zhulang's other hand, kneaded it, and burst into tears: "Wow wow wow, Lan Nuo, you really scared me to death! Do you know how scared we were when Luo Xiya and I broke into the room and saw you fainted on the ground? I thought those guys in the laboratory had attacked you and put something on you! Luo Xiya almost used a cannon to blow up this broken place!! "

"Why are you always like this? You don't take your body seriously at all."

"You know, for so many days, Roshia and I took turns to watch over you. We dared not close our eyes, for fear that if we opened our eyes again, you would stop breathing, or... be taken away by Jeff's group and do something to you... Wuwuwuwu!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhulang's eyebrows became incredibly soft, and there was a flickering light of tears in his eyes, like twinkling stars.

"Ahem, ahem... I'm fine. How's Cross? And their experiment is progressing..."

"Why do you always care about these irrelevant people?! Why don't you care about yourself? Look at yourself, look at you now, you are so thin that you can't even hold on to your flesh!"

Luo Xiya said in a sharp voice, with a look of anger that Jiang Zhulang had never seen before, and Martin shrank back in fear.

He grabbed Jiang Zhulang's hand as he tried to take it back, and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the sickly paleness underneath.

He held Jiang Zhulang tightly, trembling constantly, with the temperature of his palms scalding hot. In a trance, Jiang Zhulang even felt that the scalding heat penetrated his skin and reached every part of his body.

"I……"

"I……"

After a moment's silence, they both spoke at the same time, then stopped talking at the same time.

Luo Xiya quickly let go of her hand, with a look of shame on her face: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you, it's my fault..."

Jiang Zhulang shook his head and pried open his ten fingers that were tightly folded and entangled. At the same time, he took Martin's hand, and the three of them clasped their hands together.

"Don't say sorry... I am the one who should apologize. It's my fault for making you worry."

Martin's eyes were filled with tears. He kept saying, "Swear, this won't happen again!"

Jiang Zhulang smiled: "I swear. So..."

Roshia interrupted him before he could finish his words; his mood was still not very high.

“Don’t worry, that guy is not dead. As for the experiment…” He looked at Martin.

Martin immediately replied, "It's not good. They are creating monsters. Now everyone who conducts experiments must wear a mask covering their mouth and nose. Batches of students from the Warlock Academy have been tricked into coming here, and screams are lingering throughout the underground."

"Some people survived, some died, but those who survived...their condition was very strange. They were completely insane, and their blood talents had undergone secondary mutations, which were extremely powerful. Jeff and his group were very excited, and kept shouting that the great cause was about to be accomplished."

"Moreover, I found that our movements were restricted. The entrance and exit to the ground passage was closed. Jeff found people from nowhere to patrol there all day and prohibited anyone from entering or leaving. Not only that, Jeff also pulled me and forced me to prepare medicine for them. I secretly tested the medicine and found that it was a mushroom potion, but there were too many things added in it that I didn't know about."
