Chapter 156: Vermicular Splitting (14)
Fu Ze staggered out of the underground palace.
He was like a puppet with all his bones removed, and every step he took was shaky.
Xie Mian's words echoed repeatedly in his mind.
Kill all those who have eaten Ah Heng's flesh and blood.
Kill...everyone.
This thought, like a red-hot iron, burned his mind fiercely, making a crackling sound.
He couldn't accept it.
He put in a lot of effort and planning, and he took on so much, but finally he grasped the power of the entire Xuanwu Base in his hands.
But now, Xie Mian told him that if he wanted to save Ah Heng, he had to destroy everything?
No.
no way!
There must be another way!
A hint of madness and paranoia rekindled in Fu Ze's eyes.
Research, versus experimental research.
Although the research institute was burned down, all those researchers died.
But it doesn't matter, he can regroup and do research again.
He will definitely find that way!
You can rescue Ah Heng without killing the entire base.
"Someone come here!" Fu Ze's voice was hoarse, but it contained an order that left no room for questioning.
Several close associates immediately appeared before him, bowing their heads and listening to his orders.
"Immediately gather all surviving researchers in the base to the backup laboratory!"
"Also, secretly capture ten A-rank insect followers who have consumed the 'special sample'. Remember, they must be alive! I want this to be kept absolutely confidential!"
"yes!"
The confidant took the order and left, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Fu Ze stood there, looking at his trembling hands.
He will succeed.
He must succeed.
The next day.
Xuanwu Base, in the newly built secret laboratory.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and blood.
On the cold metal laboratory table, an A-level insect-follower was tied up tightly, his face full of fear.
"Mr. Fu...Mr. Fu, please spare me! I don't know anything!"
Fu Ze was wearing a white protective suit and a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of bloodshot eyes.
He ignored the man's wailing and said coldly to the trembling researchers nearby: "Begin."
“Yes… yes!”
The researchers did not dare to disobey and picked up various instruments tremblingly.
They tried to analyze the insect energy composition in the body of the insect follower, trying to find the "thread" connecting him to Lin Heng.
Then, cut it off.
"ah--!"
The shrill screams echoed throughout the laboratory.
As a special energy wave was injected, the insect-follower's body began to twitch violently.
The insect energy in his body suddenly went out of control!
Countless scarlet vines grew wildly not from the outside world, but from his own body!
The vines pierced his skin, tore his muscles, and emerged from his eye sockets, mouth, nose, and ears, with bloody flesh strands hanging from them.
He became a writhing monster of vines and flesh.
"Failed..." a researcher muttered with a look of despair. "This connection... is simply impossible to find and cannot be separated!"
Fu Ze looked at the pool of flesh and blood on the experimental table, which was no longer in human form, and his body shook.
Failed.
"Next!" he roared.
The second, the third, the fourth...
One after another, insect followers were sent to the experimental table.
Failure again and again.
The entire laboratory was filled with blood and body parts.
Fu Ze stood in the sea of blood, looking at the last failed report, the light in his eyes extinguished bit by bit.
There is no third way.
There isn't at all.

Deep in the underground palace.
Xie Mian was using a small spoon to feed Lin Heng some warm meat porridge, mouthful by mouthful.
"Brother, eat some more."
Lin Heng's complexion looked better than before.
At least, it's no longer as pale as a death.
But through Xie Mian's healing insect ability, he knew that this was just an appearance.
My brother's body is like a leaky sandbag.
No matter how hard he tried to repair it, the sand inside kept flowing away.
The little life in the belly is growing tenaciously.
But every time it grows, it consumes the mother's vitality at an accelerated rate.
"That's enough, Mianmian." Lin Heng shook his head, leaning in Xie Mian's arms, panting softly, "I can't eat anymore."
His gaze fell on the sea of pink and white flowers below him.
These days, the scope of the sea of flowers has expanded a lot.
Those roses are blooming more and more pale
The blood on the edges of the petals was almost gone. Lin Heng knew that this was proof that his vitality was fading.
He raised his hand and gently rubbed Xie Mian's head.
"Mianmian, thank you for your hard work these days."
He knew that Xie Mian would be away for a while every day.
He knew what he was going to do.
Every time Xie Mian came back, he could feel that the invisible shackles wrapped around him would loosen a lot.
It felt like a glimmer of light shining through the endless darkness.
"It's not hard." Xie Mian shook his head and held Lin Heng's cold hand. "As long as I can save my brother, everything is worth it."
But... it's too slow.
The speed of killing is too slow.
In the entire base, there are hundreds of thousands of survivors, and almost all of them have more or less eaten the "nutritious meat" released by the research institute.
He kills every day.
But even if he killed a hundred or a thousand a day, it would still take too long.
But my brother’s health simply can’t wait that long.
Xie Mian looked at Lin Heng's increasingly weak face and the snow-white rose that was becoming whiter and whiter, and for the first time, a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
His speed could not keep up with the speed at which his brother's life was slipping away.
"Brother, wait for me."
Xie Mian gently put Lin Heng down and let him lean on the soft petals.
He stood up, and the silver-white long sword appeared in his hand again.
"I'm going to kill some more people."
His voice was calm, but his eyes were filled with suppressed madness and anxiety.
He wants it faster!
Must be faster!
