“Unlucky me, I admit defeat. Give me a quick death.” Roland closed his eyes decisively.
When a psychic ability user needs to engage in hand-to-hand combat, it's already a dead end; struggling is pointless.
Lu Sheng got what he wanted and immediately plunged a knife into Roland's heart.
After obtaining another level-seven crystal core, Lu Sheng and the others took a short rest.
“Professor Chen’s health is not good, and it’s not suitable for her to stay here with us any longer. We need to find a way to get her to a safe place first,” Cheng Mofan suggested after pushing the wheelchair to a relatively clean area.
Li Kun quickly chimed in, "Yes, Professor Chen isn't feeling well, it's too dangerous here. Let's send a few people to escort him away first."
"How about Hiroko and Wenwen? Hiroko should be able to handle ordinary zombies. Too many of us would be a burden."
Everyone knew that sending Professor Chen to a safe place was only one reason; the more important reason was to temporarily get Huang Jianbo and Gu Wen away to avoid constantly provoking Tong Ziqi.
"I..." Gu Wen tried to explain, but was rudely interrupted by Tong Ziqi.
"It's settled then. You two leave the chemical plant first and hide at the tollbooth we used to go before. We'll come find you after we've dealt with this." Tong Ziqi decisively shut Huang Jianbo and Gu Wen up.
Right now, there's no time for romance; getting research results from the daily grind is the priority.
Huang Jianbo and Gu Wen were in the wrong first, so they had no grounds to refute it.
"Han Rui and Rocket will be with you." Lu Sheng looked around and finally tossed the little sunflower that was peeking out of his pocket to Han Rui.
Huang Jianbo's ability level is only around level seven, and Gu Wen has no combat ability, so relying on just the two of them isn't reliable. Han Rui already has the basic ability to control zombies, which would complement Huang Jianbo perfectly.
In addition, the little sunflower can slow down the zombies' pace, and the rocket can act as a little security guard. This combination may not be able to wreak havoc, but at least it can keep them alive.
Little Sunflower and Han Rui, one big and one small, both naturally naive, each with a little mushroom on their head, nodded firmly.
Being assigned tasks by Sister Lu is a sign of their trust, and they will certainly not let that trust down!
"Wait, you too, come along." Before parting, Lu Sheng pointed at Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning blinked innocently, "You're willing to let me go and spend time with other women?"
His response was, as always, the familiar two punches.
After a simple grouping process, the two teams temporarily split up.
At this moment, in a hidden laboratory deep inside the chemical plant, several people stared with gloomy expressions at Roland's mangled corpse on the monitor.
Roland's body was even controlled by Han Rui, who led several people away from the chemical plant like a guide dog.
"Who is this woman? Even Roland couldn't hypnotize her," one of the oldest middle-aged men roared angrily.
"This is all your doing, investing so much money and resources in research and development to modify people."
"And what happened? The most successful experimental subject ended up benefiting someone else!"
"You mean I'm completely wrong?"
"Old man, I've disliked you for a long time!"
The young man wearing an eye patch next to the monitor suddenly jumped up in a rage, his mechanical tentacles swiftly striking out to rip out the heart of the middle-aged man in front of him.
Before the middle-aged man could even react, he could only watch helplessly as his still-beating heart was crushed by the mechanical tentacles.
"Flesh and blood are weak, while machinery soars. The inferior species should give way!"
Inside the sealed laboratory, screams and the sounds of flesh being torn apart echoed throughout.
...
Lu Sheng and his group followed Tong Ziqi into the chemical plant's main research and development building.
Upon entering, countless infrared and surveillance devices hidden in the corners scanned the group from head to toe.
Lu Sheng raised his head slightly, his expression indifferent as he faced the surveillance camera, and made a neck-scratching gesture with his hand.
The young man on the other end of the monitor, his face covered in blood, stared with interest at the cold-faced girl on the screen before slowly pressing the remote control in his hand.
"Awooo!"
The gate in the corridor opened, and dozens of high-level zombies, howling for food, filed out.
Led by Tong Ziqi, Lu Sheng and his group found the vaccine research laboratory. Xu Yi and Lu Sheng had dealt with the security personnel along the way, so no one could stop them for the time being.
The laboratory was brightly lit, while outside, blood flowed like a river, yet the researchers inside did not give up their research.
