"Could it be... that the guys who left before have come back?"
Ling recalled what happened with Jiang Quan at the underground training base.
At that time, there was also Ho Tung, and what impressed me most was that he was also infected with the gene virus.
However, the appearance of Intel and Dirk prevented him from erupting, and then they went together to the base they mentioned...
Have they come to China again?
Zero didn't know the other party's intentions, nor who the visitor was, or even whether they were human. He could only guess at the situation.
"Never mind, let's go back first..."
Unable to obtain any other information here, Zero turned around and wanted to leave.
"Help...help..."
Suddenly, a low and weak voice came from not far to the left of Zero.
Ling subconsciously stopped in her tracks, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Are there any survivors?
He excitedly leaped towards the direction from which the sound came, and finally found the source of the sound among the rubble.
"Strange... I didn't sense any signs of life just now..."
"Never mind that, saving lives is the priority."
Setting aside his doubts for the time being, he used his spiritual power to move aside the building debris and saw a "blood-covered person" whose entire body was covered in wounds.
Ling secretly admired this person's strength and was also amazed by his luck. She quickly took out a spiritual medicine from her spatial storage and gave it to him.
The Zero Space's herb space is practically a mobile rescue center. You can just pick out any herb and it can instantly alleviate someone's injuries. It is a true "miracle cure".
After taking the pill, the person felt a warm current flow into their body, circulating continuously throughout their limbs and bones.
Bone remodeling, muscle regeneration...
Time passed slowly, and his vitality continued to grow stronger...
Before long, the man felt as if he had been reborn.
The broken bones had healed, and the lost flesh had regenerated. If it weren't for the blood-stained clothes, he would have been completely transformed.
"Thank you, sage!"
The man knelt down and bowed directly to Ling.
Before Zero could react, he had already kowtowed three times.
"What are you doing..."
Zero was stunned for a moment, then saw that the man had already stood up and was looking at him with excitement.
"Thank you so much, Immortal, for saving my life! I have no way to repay your great kindness, please accept my three more bows!"
The man was about to kowtow again when Ling quickly stopped him.
"I am not some kind of immortal."
The man nodded, saying indifferently:
"I know that it is inconvenient for you immortals to reveal your identities, I understand. Rest assured, immortals, I will definitely not reveal your identity."
As the man spoke, his eyes lit up with excitement.
Zero rubbed his forehead speechlessly and patiently explained:
"I'm really not some kind of immortal. Putting that aside, what happened here?"
Zero didn't want to dwell on that and went straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, the man instantly snapped out of his joy at regaining life. Memories flooded back, and his face alternated between fear and pain. Then, his eyes were fixed on Zero, and he grabbed Zero's shoulders, shouting:
"Monster! It's a monster!"
"monster?"
Without a doubt, I had a vague guess in my mind.
...
"really."
After listening to Yuan Kai's description, Ling knew that her guess was correct.
What turned this place into this state were those genetic monsters!
However, Yuan Kai wasn't referring to just one, but a whole group...
What would it be like to encounter a group of incredibly destructive and bloodthirsty monsters?
"My goodness, it was terrifying! They were like they were summoned, charging straight at our base. One at a time was manageable, but there were no fewer than a hundred of them, like a giant net surrounding our base, and then they all charged at once... No matter how sturdy our base was, it couldn't withstand their ferocious and painless attack, especially since our base's defenses were weaker than other bases..."
"We were completely powerless against those monsters. Even technological weapons couldn't do anything to them... We were all just waiting to die in despair."
"I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky, but I was hit by a collapsing building and immediately passed out. That's how I escaped death..."
"But if it weren't for your appearance, Immortal, I would already be dead..."
Having narrowly escaped death, Yuan Kai kept repeating to Ling like a little sparrow.
Zero, however, was half listening and half thinking.
From the information Yuan Kai provided, he noticed several points worth noting.
First, those genetically engineered monsters act in hordes; second, while their stated purpose is killing and destruction, it's more accurate to say they are testing the waters...
Wait, is this a test?
A message suddenly flashed through Zero's mind.
"Could it be... that their search for genetically powerful infected humans isn't to find a way to completely eliminate the genetic monsters, but rather to control them!?"
"Control those genetically engineered monsters and turn them into biological weapons for their own use?"
"If that's the case, then it's really bad..."
Zero couldn't help but think to himself.
...
"An immortal? An immortal?"
Yuan Kai called out from the side.
Zero snapped out of his daze and gestured with his eyes to indicate what it was about.
"Um... my immortal friend, look at this..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the messy ground out of the corner of his eye.
Ling frowned slightly and said calmly:
"zero."
"Um?"
Yuan Kai looked puzzled.
"My name is Zero."
