"Warning! Abnormal fluctuations in the Azure Core Energy! About to go out of control!" The system's mechanical female voice, sharp as fingernails scratching a blackboard, exploded in Lu Zhaoming's mind.
Oh no, this is terrible! This stupid system failed us at the crucial moment!
He steeled himself and shoved Su Li behind him, "Hide!"
Almost simultaneously, Black Crow's irritating voice rang out from the doorway: "Lu Zhaoming, long time no see." The tone made it sound like old friends catching up.
Lu Zhaoming glanced at the dark mass of figures at the door, each wielding a high-precision weapon. This wasn't a reunion; they were here to send him to his death!
Alright, since that's the case, then don't blame him for unleashing his ultimate move!
"System, activate the ability amplification module!" Lu Zhaoming silently commanded.
A tingling, electric-like sensation spread throughout his body. He could feel his senses being magnified countless times, and every detail around him was crystal clear.
"Sizzle—" The old lights in the medical area flickered a few times, and the corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, mixed with a faint smell of blood, which was nauseating.
Black Crow waved his hand, and his men surged in like a zombie siege.
Lu Zhaoming sneered, "That's all?"
Fortunately, he was prepared.
With a flick of his toe, he spilled a bucket of some unknown liquid. Immediately afterward, a loud "bang!" echoed, and thick white smoke filled the entire corridor, choking everyone and bringing tears to their eyes.
"Cough cough cough... What the hell..." Black Crow's curses came from the smoke.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Zhaoming pulled Su Li up, "Let's go!" He led Su Li through the medical area, twisting and turning like ghosts, and the Black Crows couldn't find their trace at all.
The medical area was already complex in terms of terrain, and the addition of several simple traps that Lu Zhaoming had intentionally set up—such as tripwires and overturned medicine cabinets—made the Black Crow people suffer even more.
"Damn it! Is this kid a rabbit? How can he run so fast!" Black Crow roared in exasperation.
As Lu Zhaoming ran, he couldn't help but taunt, "Hey, Brother Ya, don't be in such a hurry, this is just the beginning."
He deliberately made noise to lure the Black Crows into dispersing their forces, and then used his speed and strength, amplified by the system, to defeat them one by one, playing a game of "whack-a-mole".
"Bang!" One of Black Crow's henchmen was kicked away by Lu Zhaoming, crashing into the wall and sliding down, unable to get up for a long time.
"Ah—" Another unlucky guy stepped into Lu Zhaoming's trap, his leg got stuck in the bear trap, and he howled in pain.
"Bang bang bang!" Lu Zhaoming's attacks were swift and ruthless, each move deadly. In no time, Black Crow's men were all lying on the ground, leaving Black Crow standing alone in the center of the medical area, his face ashen.
"System notification: The ability amplification module has 3 minutes remaining."
Lu Zhaoming licked his lips; the real show was just beginning.
"Brother Ya, you're the only one left. Do you want to surrender?" Lu Zhaoming asked with a smile, but his tone was as cold as a knife.
Black Crow didn't speak, but stared intently at Lu Zhaoming, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He knew he had underestimated his opponent; he hadn't expected this seemingly carefree guy to be so difficult to deal with.
The atmosphere between the two was tense, as if an earth-shattering battle was about to erupt at any moment.
"Come on, let me see what you've got!" Black Crow roared and launched the first attack.
Lu Zhaoming was not to be outdone and went to meet him.
The two exchanged blows, producing muffled thuds.
Black Crow's attacks were fierce and ruthless, each move potentially fatal; Lu Zhaoming's movements were more agile and varied. With the system's support, his speed and strength were greatly enhanced, and he was able to subtly suppress Black Crow.
"Damn it! How did this kid's strength suddenly increase so much?" Black Crow thought to himself in surprise.
While dodging the black crows' attacks, Lu Zhaoming looked for an opportunity.
He noticed a special chip hanging from Black Raven's waist, gleaming with a ghostly blue light, which looked quite extraordinary.
His intuition told him that this chip must be very important!
He pretended to be injured, clutching his chest and staggering backward to lure the black crow closer.
As expected, the black crow fell for the trap, thinking it had the upper hand, and charged forward with a sinister grin.
Just then, Lu Zhaoming suddenly sprang up and, with lightning speed, grabbed the chip on Black Crow's waist, while simultaneously delivering a heavy punch to Black Crow's abdomen.
"Ugh—" Black Crow groaned and bent over in pain.
Lu Zhaoming seized the opportunity to snatch the chip, then kicked Black Crow away.
The black crow crashed heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Lu Zhaoming toyed with the chip in his hand, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
The chip felt cold to the touch, had a special material, and was engraved with some strange symbols, like some kind of encrypted text.
"System, analyze the chip data," Lu Zhaoming silently instructed.
"Data parsing in progress..." The system notification sounded.
A few seconds later, the system's voice sounded again: "Data parsing complete. The chip contains experimental data about the 'Azure Core,' including the experimental procedure, experimental subjects, experimental results, and so on."
Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat, "Azure Core"?
Could it be the device that the system previously alerted about with abnormal energy fluctuations?
He immediately checked the data in the chip, and his expression gradually became serious.
The contents recorded in the chip were shocking; they were about human experiments!
The experiments were extremely cruel. The subjects were innocent civilians who were injected with a certain drug and then forced to undergo various dangerous tests. The final result was either mental breakdown or death.
