Chapter 68

Cross stared silently at Riel's gradually stiffening body, without moving for a long time. Then he squatted down and gently wiped the blood and dust off his face.

He patiently and carefully tidied up Leir's messy collar until there was not a single wrinkle left. Then, he raised his head, his voice hoarse as never before: "The next step is to release those experimental subjects, right?"

Jiang Zhulang raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you call me dad? I haven't heard enough, dear son, call me a few more times?"

Cross was silent.

Jiang Zhulang leaned close to his ear and continued, "I suddenly realized that you call me daddy, and it sounds really nice."

Without the covering of clothes, he could clearly see that Cross' ears and neck turned red in an instant, a patch of pink, like a scorching cloud in the sky.

He glanced at Jiang Zhulang coldly and said stiffly: "Dad, my dear son is very tired. I'm afraid I can't do the things that come next..."

"Stop!" Originally he just wanted to tease him, but who knew that Cross could actually say such a shameful name. Jiang Zhulang couldn't help but shudder.

Although it was a little awkward to call himself a dad, he was at least the dad of everyone on the Nidos continent in a sense, but...

How could he say the three words "good son" so naturally with a red face? !

He originally wanted to tease Cross, but suddenly he felt that he was being teased in return.

If he had known earlier, he should have stopped Cross when he called out "Dad" for the first time, instead of letting him call out in embarrassment and satisfaction.

Jiang Zhulang slowly covered his face.

“Knock knock—”

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, which was the secret signal he and Roshia had agreed upon.

Taking out the clothes and ten special flying blades that had been prepared long ago from the storage ring and throwing them to Cross, Jiang Zhulang said, "Put on some clothes! You know the plan well. The bigger the commotion, the better."

After exiting the room where Cross was imprisoned, the corridor was quiet and empty except for Roshia.

"Martin has gone into hiding, using the excuse of taking a breath."

Jiang Zhulang nodded, released the little spider, and crawled along the passage all the way to the guard post at the entrance and exit.

Luo Xiya was worried: "Is that guy reliable? All the experimenters are sorcerers. Even if they are useless, they may not be able to deal with them if they are attacked by a group. Moreover, Jeff has hidden so many weapons. Even if the experimenters have amazing fighting ability, I am afraid they will..."

Jiang Zhulang chuckled: "I didn't expect Cross to kill them all. He just needed to release those manic people and monsters to create some chaos."

The two waited patiently for a moment, and then a noise arose.

The locked and insane experimental subjects swarmed out, wantonly destroying everything around them.

The guards at the entrance and exit followed the increasingly chaotic battle, leaving only two guards to hold their ground.

Jiang Zhulang saw all of this through the little spider. He controlled it to jump onto the guard's exposed neck, took a hard bite, and injected venom.

Although the spider was small, its venom was deadly and effective immediately. The other man was still confused as to why his companion had collapsed with foam at the mouth. He went forward to investigate and felt a dull pain in his throat. After a few breaths, he followed his companion.

After knocking down the two men, Jiang Zhulang and Luo Xia took advantage of the chaos and quickly stripped the guards of their clothes, put on extra clothes for them, and disguised them as Martin and Cross.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Having just finished the job, Martin came running over stealthily, his hair soaked with sweat, sticking to his face.

"You don't know, that place is simply ..."

"Stop talking nonsense, take off your clothes and put them on!" Jiang Zhulang threw the guard's dirty and sweaty clothes at Martin, interrupting his nonsense.

Time is running out and there is no room for any delay.

In order to prevent the outbreak of the world-destroying crisis, Jiang Zhulang did not intend to simply and brutally kill all the experimenters. Not to mention that although "Lan Nuo" was strong, he was not so powerful that he would kill anyone he saw. Moreover, if he really acted so brutally, it would inevitably lose some of the plot when he returned to reality.

Of course, the main reason was that he not only wanted to prevent the crisis, but also wanted to expose the evil experiments hidden by the Holy Spirit Medicine Society to the public, so that people across the entire Nidos continent would know about this crime.

In this way, although it is impossible to completely eliminate those who have evil thoughts and want to touch taboos by unorthodox means, it can at least maintain peace for a period of time.

Therefore, he needed a chaos to send Martin and Cross out of the laboratory, and then, at the Wanling Celebration that would be attended by the entire mainland in half a month, he would make the contents recorded in the photo beads public.

Not only that, he also wanted to show them in front of everyone that after using this potion, whether they were dignitaries or sorcerers, the end result would be either the sudden rise in power they imagined, or the loss of sanity and degeneration into a monster.

Of course, whether this last idea can become a reality depends on whether Roshia can develop a device that can transmit real-time images.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhulang couldn't help but wonder if he had squeezed Luo Xia too much.

I always feel like I know him, and many things that Roshia does are related to him.

Maybe, after everything was done, he and Roshia would travel happily on the mainland? When he got inspired or his hands itched, he would rent a yard to do alchemy research, and when he was tired, he would taste delicious food everywhere.

It's quite fun.

The battle became more and more intense. Even if you were far away from the center of the battle, you could feel the ground shaking and the smoke rising.

Jiang Zhulang condensed his energy into a blade and stabbed at his chest and abdomen. Although Luo Xiya knew that he was only pretending to be injured to reduce suspicion, he still took a breath at his decisiveness.

Why... Lan Nuo looked like he had hurt himself a thousand times, without any hesitation. If it weren't for the slightly furrowed brows and pale face due to blood loss, no one would believe that he had just stabbed his own body instead of some rag doll.

Luo Xia pursed her lips and supported Jiang Zhulang who staggered for a moment.

The two stumbled towards the center of the battle. The corridor was filled with smoke, and their vision was obstructed. They could only vaguely see the figures of the combatants from the occasional flashes of elemental arcane attack light effects.

Cross used his agile movements and smoke to guide the experimenters and subjects to kill each other, while he controlled the flying blades and arrows to hurt people.

The invisible energy turned into a rope, gently wrapped around his waist, and led Cross slowly out of the battle circle.

The three of them dodged into the room at the corner. Cross stretched out his arms and let Jiang Zhulang work on his face to disguise himself as someone else. Several flying blades were still flying around the field, creating the illusion that he was still there.

"Okay, go to the door, Martin will meet you."

"You and your friends are really not leaving? This is not a safe place."

Jiang Zhulang shook his head: "I have reasons to stay here, just go. I hope you can remember our agreement after you leave."

"I will repay your kindness, but on the condition that you stay alive..." Cross looked at him steadily with a complicated expression, then turned and left.

Without Cross's interference, the people in the laboratory, with sufficient military reserves, killed all the rioting subjects at the cost of four deaths and nine injuries.

When the smoke cleared, the ground was covered with mutilated limbs and blood.

Jeff was furious: "Who is responsible for this plague god? Why did he come out today?"

No one answered. The freckled young man who had given the job to Jiang Zhulang had already been torn in half by the three-meter-tall, muscular experimental subject in the chaos.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Jiang Zhulang fell to the corner of the wall, weakly coughing up blood. Beside him, lay Luo Xia, who was "seriously injured and unconscious".

"Lannuo, where have you been? Why do I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time?" Jeff frowned, his eyes occasionally scanning his blood-soaked robes on his chest and abdomen.

Jiang Zhulang was well prepared for his questioning. He was not panicked at all and said what he had already thought of.

"Master Lei Er asked me to take him to see the idiot, and then ordered me to leave. I saw that I couldn't help in the laboratory, so I thought about going back to my room to relax, but who knew..."

Since he woke up, due to the crowding out of the laboratory, Jiang Zhulang, Luo Xia and Martin became known as the big fishers. When there was nothing to do, it was common for them to sneak back to their rooms or find an empty room to drink and play cards for fun.

In addition, he and Cross had no connection, so Jeff did not doubt his words. Even though he was very unhappy with Jiang Zhulang's slacking off at a critical moment, he took into account his ability in potions and the shortage of manpower after the chaos, so he just hit him hard with a stick a few times and let it go.
