Lin Shuang was even more direct. She swung her mechanical arm and smashed it hard against the ghost hand, each attack carrying immense power.
Although Ghost Hand was also quite skilled, he still seemed to be struggling under the combined attack of the three.
Lu Zhaoming took the opportunity to get closer to Ghost Hand, the dagger in his hand gleaming coldly.
"Die!" he roared, thrusting the dagger in his hand fiercely towards Ghost Hand's waist.
"puff!"
The dagger pierced the chip controller with precision, sparks flying everywhere.
Ghost Hand let out a scream, its body convulsed a few times, and it collapsed to the ground.
Liu Yan also collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
"Brother, I...I didn't mean to..." He looked at Lu Zhaoming blankly.
Lu Zhaoming patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "I know, but now is not the time to explain."
Seeing this, Ghost Hand knew that the situation was hopeless and tried to escape.
But he had only run a few steps when he was trapped in a trap that Lu Zhaoming had set up in advance.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Lu Zhaoming sneered.
He walked up to Ghost Hand, pressed a dagger against his throat, and threatened, "Hand over the antidote, or you'll suffer even more than those test subjects."
Ghost Hand gritted his teeth and resisted
In the end, he gave in, trembling as he handed over the antidote to the control device and a document outlining the White Coat's next course of action.
Lu Zhaoming took the document and gave a cold smile: "Thank you for your cooperation."
After saying that, he slit Ghost Hand's throat without hesitation.
Blood gushed out, staining the ground red.
Ghost Hand stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe that Lu Zhaoming would actually dare to kill him.
Lu Zhaoming wiped the blood off the dagger and stared coldly at Ghost Hand's corpse.
“I never show mercy to my enemies,” he said coldly.
"What do we do next?" Su Li asked.
Lu Zhaoming glanced at Liu Yan, who was lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Take him back."
“And this document as well,” Lin Shuang added.
Lu Zhaoming nodded and put the document away.
He gazed at the distant sky, his eyes deep, as if deep in thought.
"White Robe, what exactly are you planning?"
He turned to Su Li and Lin Shuang and said, "Let's go, the show is just beginning..."
Lu Zhaoming and his group rushed back to the stronghold with the half-dead Liu Yan and the crucial document.
As soon as he entered the door, he started clamoring for Su Li to quickly "extend Liu Yan's life".
Su Li rolled her eyes and muttered, "What a troublemaker," but quickly injected Liu Yan with the antidote.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhaoming was also busy, studying the document inch by inch by the dim light of the oil lamp.
The handwriting on the document was illegible, clearly the work of some master of dog-paddle calligraphy, but the content made Lu Zhaoming frown more and more.
“A large-scale attack in three days… targeting the largest survivor settlement?” Lu Zhaoming repeated in a low voice, thinking to himself, “Wow, they’re going all out!” He looked up at Liu Yan, his tone as firm as steel: “The battle ahead will require your help, brother.”
Liu Yan, who had just regained some color in his face, immediately nodded vigorously upon hearing this, as if he had been injected with chicken blood: "Brother Zhaoming, whatever you say goes. You saved my life. You've been through thick and thin with me. If you even frown, I'll admit defeat!"
However, when Lu Zhaoming's gaze fell on the last line of the document, his smile instantly froze.
Those words, like a cold needle, pierced his heart—"The losers will be completely wiped out."
"Tsk, this old man in white robes is ruthless!" Lu Zhaoming cursed inwardly, but his face showed no sign of it.
He patted Liu Yan on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Brother, get some rest and recharge. There are some things we need to talk about privately..." After saying that, he gestured to Lin Shuang, and the two of them, one on each side, supported the still somewhat weak Liu Yan and walked deeper into the stronghold.
As night deepened, only a sense of unease remained in the air.
