"Hmm..."
The immense force pinned the gigantic Professor Huang to the floor, and the sharp crossbow bolt pierced through his massive head, embedding itself deep into the laboratory floor tiles.
The massive, hill-like body struggled painfully on the ground, its limbs futilely trying to grasp at the air, only managing to grab onto a wisp of air.
Lu Sheng's slender figure strode quickly to Professor Huang's collapsed body, stepped on his terrifyingly developed shoulder muscles, and swung her knife down towards his head.
Clang!
With a loud crash, the Tang sword pierced straight into Professor Huang's hard skull, easily slicing open his head as if chopping melons and vegetables.
Deng Ran, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, was instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
Professor Huang had actually secretly studied the results of his research long ago. After being enlarged by this enhancement drug, not only would the body expand rapidly, but the hardness of the body would also be increased dozens of times.
Based on the data he derived from the formula, Professor Huang's body hardness should now be equivalent to steel bars used in construction, which even the strongest power users in the deep space base would not be able to easily cut through.
After all, this potion was originally developed as a defensive agent, but Professor Huang and his wife accidentally unlocked its strengthening effect during the research and development process.
This woman named Lu Sheng looks petite and slender, so why can she unleash such terrifying power?
For the first time, Deng Ran began to doubt his own professional competence.
On the other side, Lu Sheng easily pried open Professor Huang's skull and flesh with a knife, while stepping on his neck for leverage, and forcefully pried up the skull with the tip of the knife.
A large mass of red and black brain matter and tissue mixture splattered out like a fountain, covering Li Kaixuan and Deng Ran.
A pungent stench and the distinctive fishy smell of human tissue immediately filled the entire laboratory.
Professor Huang's body, which had already lost consciousness, twitched instinctively.
Perhaps the effects of the medicine had worn off, because as Lu Sheng drew his Tang sword, Professor Huang's body shrank rapidly at a visible speed.
In just over ten seconds, he shrank from a giant over three meters tall into a withered old man. Although the volume of muscles can shrink, the skin that has been stretched out cannot return to its original state.
After all the subcutaneous fibers were broken, his whole body was like a deflated balloon, his paper-thin skin crumpled and crumpled on the ground, no longer recognizable as a human.
Lu Sheng remained expressionless, his heart calm and undisturbed. He quickened his movements, using the tip of his knife to swiftly pry up the mutated crystal core that shimmered with light from the brain matter.
I wiped it on the lab table to clean it before putting it in my own space.
Professor Huang's body, having lost its crystal nucleus, quickly withered and rotted, soon turning into a still-fluffy mass of flesh.
The entire laboratory was silent. Everyone stared at Lu Sheng as he skillfully wiped the Tang sword clean, their faces showing astonishment.
"vomit……"
A few seconds later, Li Kaixuan, who was the first to react, leaned over the table and began to vomit violently.
"Clean it up." Lu Sheng glanced at Deng Ran out of the corner of his eye, signaling him to remove the lump of minced meat on the ground.
Deng Ran was stunned for a moment, but his body reacted before his mind. He obediently picked up the cleaning tools and endured the pungent stench to clean up Professor Huang's remains.
Human courage often stems from a belief or a goal. Before the goal is achieved, one can have unlimited courage and motivation to drive oneself to reach it.
But once the goal is achieved, it's like a breath that's been hanging in the air suddenly being released, and the courage to forge ahead is gone forever.
The desire for Professor Huang's death has always been Deng Ran's goal and motivation.
Now that his only goal has been achieved, he seems to have instantly transformed from a fearless warrior into an ordinary person who experiences fear and anxiety.
The pressure from the young girl in front of him was so immense that he didn't even have time to think; his body instinctively chose to submit.
The fear this girl instilled in him far exceeded that of Professor Huang. The gap between them was like an insurmountable chasm, and he didn't even have the slightest desire to resist.
"What should we do with these people? They're either missing kidneys or eyes. Even if we release them, they'll be useless." Sun Lu helped Xu Jing to a slightly more open space and asked Lu Sheng in a low voice.
Sun Lu wasn't exactly a saint, but she was a kind-hearted person. It didn't matter much to others, but Xu Jing was a single mother, and she couldn't bear to see an innocent child lose their only family member.
Lu Sheng glanced at Xu Jing, redeemed a supplement from the system shop, pried open her mouth, and poured it in.
"The medicine has been given; whether she lives or dies depends on her own will to live."
Soon, someone in the lab found the switch to open the door, and everyone else scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only Lu Sheng, Sun Lu, Li Kaixuan, Deng Ran, and Meng Rui, who had been knocked unconscious in the corner.
Deng Ran nervously clenched her fingers, hesitating from time to time whether or not to step forward.
Lu Sheng caught his subtle movement out of the corner of her eye. "Something wrong?"
"I...I want to go with you!" Deng Ran mustered her courage, took a few steps forward and rushed to Lu Sheng, her eyes shining with sincere longing.
Having lived in an environment where Professor Huang had exploited him for a long time, he was like a sponge that had bounced back from rock bottom, and now he was eager to explore the wider world.
"I don't support idlers." Lu Sheng rummaged through the laboratory, sweeping all the medicines and information that might be related to the zombie virus vaccine into his spatial storage.
We can't have come all this way for nothing; we should at least bring something back for Professor Xu to study.
