The handsome man had strong execution ability and he set up a new laboratory for Zhuang Li in just a few hours.
As soon as X received Zhuang Li's call, he moved Lei Ming's body over and happened to run into the handsome man at the door of the laboratory.
The two stared at each other with wide eyes and asked in unison: "Why are you here?"
"Have you found Zhuang Li too?"
"Humph, you're lucky!"
After three sentences, the two understood each other's conditions, so they moved Lei Ming's body into the laboratory together and placed it in the ICU ward made of glass.
Zhuang Li drove the two away and personally disinfected Lei Ming, changed his clothes, and inserted a ventilator, electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram and other instruments.
From today on, he would work with Lei Mingdi by his side. Whenever he felt tired, he could look back and see his beloved, which filled him with strength.
"This is the formula for a spray to repel vampires. You take it and mass-produce it and give it to humans. This spray emits the scent of cancerous cells, and once vampires smell it, they will give up hunting. They themselves are cancerous creatures, and they hate cancerous blood."
Zhuang Li handed the handsome man a folder and warned him, "This must be delivered privately. Don't let the news reach the vampires. Once they know it's just a bad smell and not a true cancer, they will continue to kill humans."
"Also, not every high-level vampire that escaped drank the photosensitive nanoparticles. They just didn't understand the situation and hid out of fear. After a while, they'll find they can still move around in the sunlight. So I can't stop selling my fountain of life water. When they're hungry, they'll always come out to feed. You have to find a way to get the spiked food to their mouths."
Zhuang Li waved his hand and said, "Okay, I have to start working, please leave."
The handsome man took the folder as if it were a treasure.
X glanced at him disdainfully, then took credit for it, saying, "Mr. Zhuang, my people installed a time bomb on Le Qinglan's plane. I just received news that she crashed in Country F. This explosion certainly won't kill her, but it's bought you more time to prepare. For at least a week, neither Le Qinglan nor Heinrich will be able to reach China."
"Well done." Zhuang Li smiled and promised, "I'll hurry and find her weakness."
"Okay, then you're busy. We're leaving." X pushed the handsome man. "Let's go. Let's not disturb Mr. Zhuang from doing his research."
After the two left, Zhuang Li immediately put on his white coat and began to analyze Le Qinglan's DNA code.
He was always focused on his work, rarely paying attention to the people or things around him. But today, while doing an experiment, he kept mumbling, "Lei Ming, do you know what I'm doing now?"
Lei Ming lay on the hospital bed, sleeping peacefully, his brain waves and heart rate graph jumping weakly, almost stretched into a straight line.
Zhuang Li looked back at him and smiled, "I'm observing Le Qinglan's blood cells. I'm sorry, I can't give you this drop of blood because I need to use it for an experiment."
He examined the slide carefully and promised, "But don't worry, I'll be able to catch Le Qinglan soon."
"You will wake up, believe me."
"That day won't be long."
"What do you want to do when you wake up?"
Zhuang Li dropped a drop of chemical onto the slide and chuckled, "How about I give you a suggestion? Let's have a romantic relationship first?"
Lei Ming's brain waves were beating violently, but unfortunately Zhuang Li, who was facing away from him, failed to notice it in time.
"What do you think of me?" Zhuang Li continued chattering, "I'm smart and handsome. You won't suffer any loss if you date me."
"By the way," Zhuang Li added with interest, "I'm very skilled."
Lei Ming's brain waves kept jumping, one peak after another.
Zhuang Li drawled out his voice, chuckled, and asked, "Do you understand what technique I'm talking about?"
Lei Ming's brain waves suddenly reached a peak.
Zhuang Li still didn't notice anything unusual.
He unbuttoned his collar, stretched his neck, and murmured softly, "You know, I really missed you."
Lei Ming's brain waves pulsed gently, then slowly calmed down. This calmness wasn't a lifeless silence, but rather a hopeful wait.
Zhuang Li turned around and glanced at him with red eyes.
The mentally retarded 7480 used his mental power to create a book called "Tomie" and was reading it with great interest. He didn't notice what was happening outside at all.
Zhuang Li put down the work at hand, disinfected himself before walking into the glass-separated ICU, lowered his head and kissed Lei Ming's cold lips.
"Let me recharge." He whispered in your ear.
Lei Ming's brain waves suddenly jumped.
It was a pity that Zhuang Li's thin lips were still pressed against his ear, his eyes deeply fixed on his peaceful sleeping face, and he didn't even look at the screen detecting brain waves.
"Okay, the battery is full, I'm going to continue working." Zhuang Li gently stroked the back of Lei Ming's neck, kissed Lei Ming's eyebrows, and then returned to the laboratory bench to continue working.
He fell in love with the feeling of chatting with Lei Ming while working.
A day later, he finally discovered that his words could stimulate Lei Ming's brain waves, so he immediately became a chatterbox.
---
Five days passed unknowingly, and Zhuang Li deciphered Le Qinglan's DNA code.
He took the report, walked into the ICU, and sat in the rocking chair beside the bed. While rocking gently, he whispered softly, "The results are out. Do you want to know?"
"I want to!" 7480 raised his hand while standing on tiptoe.
Lei Ming's brain waves also jumped slightly.
"Le Qinglan's cells can not only divide infinitely, but also reincarnate."
Lei Ming's brain waves jumped again, as if asking what reincarnation meant.
Zhuang Li held one of his hands and slowly explained, "Do you know about the Turritopsis dohrnii? When this creature is about to die, it transforms into a larva and undergoes another round of growth and development, just like reincarnation. It is immortal.
"And Le Qinglan's cells, like the Turritopsis dohrnii, will return to their original state after aging. In other words, her body will be renewed every once in a while. This is not a renewal that consumes telomeres in exchange for cell division, but a complete renewal, like a character in an online game, resurrected with a single click."
Lei Ming's brain waves became disordered.
7480 said in horror, "Oh my god, this cheat code is amazing! Master, according to you, there's no way we can kill her! She's simply a bug!"
Zhuang Li gently kissed the back of Lei Ming's hand and soothed him, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with her. Once her cells age, they return to their original state and begin the growth and development process again. That's why she's in peak condition almost all the time."
"This cell growth pattern is exactly the same as reproductive cells. After testing, I found that her cells were activated by some energy that only activates gene expression instructions during fetal development. This is a miscalculation of the gene expression program."
7480 said dazedly, "Master, I don't understand. Could you explain it in simple terms?"
Lei Ming's brain waves were beating in a very regular pattern, as if he was typing out question marks.
Zhuang Li chuckled softly and explained further, "Simply put, Le Qinglan's cells activated a developmental program unique to embryonic cells. To kill her, I must terminate this program."
Zhuang Li leaned back in his rocking chair and said slowly, "There are many ways to stop cell development. You can block it with drugs or perform genetic modification. But Le Qinglan's cells are very active and won't be harmed by drugs, so I plan to develop a DNA reagent."
"I will integrate the pathogenic gene that causes fetal development to stop into this reagent. With just one injection, Le Qinglan's cells will stop renewing. She will soon experience aging and even death. Of course, before that, I will use her blood to wake you up."
Zhuang Li shook Lei Ming's arm and murmured, "I can't wait any longer. I want you to open your eyes and look at me."
Lei Ming's brain waves vibrated violently, as if responding to his expectations.
There was a burst of applause from the door.
Bird's Beak walked into the laboratory and spoke in awe, "Mr. Zhuang, I knew that humanity's hope lay in you. You have found a way to kill Le Qinglan."
X pushed the bird's beak away and gasped, "Mr. Zhuang, we're running out of time. Le Qinglan's cruise ship will arrive in China in an hour. Have you made the DNA reagent yet?"
"No, we have only cracked the DNA code so far. It will take at least half a year to synthesize the gene fragments." Zhuang Li was still sitting in the rocking chair, holding Lei Ming's hand.
Bird's Beak and X showed disappointed expressions.
Jindou pushed the two of them aside and said quickly, "Zhuang Li, come with us. We're moving. Le Qinglan has brought back many high-level vampires, and they'll soon reoccupy this city."
Emile walked in with a group of soldiers and instructed, "Move all these experimental equipment away. Be careful not to damage them."
"No need to move." Zhuang Li gently patted the back of Lei Ming's hand, looked at his fluctuating EEG, and soothed him, "Don't be afraid, I'm with you. We're not going anywhere."
X held his forehead helplessly.
Jindou didn't care whether Zhuang Li was willing to leave or not. He rolled up his sleeves and started moving things.
Zhuang Li picked up the remote control and pressed a button. The TV on the table turned on and a closed room appeared on the screen. The room was very spacious. The four walls were made of metal and there were many safes installed.
Zhuang Li said calmly, "Let's all sit down and watch the live broadcast."
X suddenly realized, "This is a bank vault!"
"Why do you want us to look at this?" Jindou asked curiously.
Someone called Bird's Beak. He walked out of the lab to answer the call. When he returned, he exclaimed in shock, "This footage is now being broadcast on every TV channel in China. Mr. Zhuang, what are you going to do?"
Sometimes, he really couldn't understand Zhuang Li's train of thought. The enemy was already at his door, so why wasn't he running? What was he doing sitting here? Waiting to die?
Emile raised his index finger to ask for silence, "Shh, since Mr. Zhuang asked us to sit down and watch TV, let's sit down."
Everyone had to stand still and watch the live broadcast patiently.
Zhuang Li pressed the remote again. On the screen, a safe embedded in the vault's inner wall opened automatically, followed by a thumping sound. A moment later, the thumping stopped, and a disheveled figure crawled out of the safe, its limbs stained with blood, its head and body covered in a black bag.
After the figure climbed out of the closet, it curled up on the ground and didn't move.
Zhuang Li looked at him quietly.
X and the others were bewildered.
People who saw this scene through television, computers, and billboards also showed puzzled expressions.
The next moment, the figure climbed up and took off the black bag with trembling arms, revealing a face with deep contours.
"Okar!" X's eyes widened.
Everyone who saw the face cried out in horror.
Zhuang Li used the keyboard to type a message on the screen: [Le Qinglan, in one hour, your son will turn to ashes. Please hurry.]
He picked up the remote control and pressed another button. The incandescent lamp above Okar's head suddenly went out, and dozens of ultraviolet lamps installed on the ceiling emitted a faint purple light.
At that moment, Okar howled in agony. His limbs remained intact, but blood began to seep from every pore on his torso and face, and his eyeballs bulged out of their sockets as if they were about to explode.
Then the next second, his eyeballs actually exploded, and two crisp popping sounds echoed in everyone's ears.
He stretched out his sharp claws and scratched around, then began to tear his body apart. The unrelieved pain made him desperate to kill himself.
His body was exploding, first with bursting blisters, then with layers of peeling flesh, and finally with the white bones exposed.
The human in front of the screen looked at Okar with wide eyes, and when he realized he was about to laugh out loud, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
Too tragic! This is really too tragic! Hehehe!
"Mom, come and save me! I can't stand it anymore! Mom, mom, woo woo woo, I want mom!" Okar hugged himself and cried like a baby.
X and Bird's Beak sat on the sofa with their legs crossed, watching TV leisurely.
They never mentioned evacuating quickly again.
Jindou stared at the screen with shining eyes, opened his mouth, and slowly uttered two words: "Cool!"
Emil brought a dozen beers and said with a smile, "You dare to do this when Le Qinglan is here? Mr. Zhuang must have made some preparations, right?"
Zhuang Li pointed at the TV screen, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Okar has turned into a bloody man. If Le Qinglan doesn't come, he will die soon.
Suddenly, there were loud bangs outside the vault, as if someone was banging on the door.
Zhuang Li pressed the remote control at the right time, and the metal door several meters thick opened automatically, and a woman with long hair rushed into the vault.
She raised her head and looked directly at the camera hanging from the ceiling, hatred gleaming in her eyes.
Her beauty was like the scorching sun in the sky, burning the eyes of every onlooker.
Even though they knew what kind of monster she was, X and the others were still stunned for a moment. Nineteen years later, Le Qinglan hadn't changed at all.
Zhuang Li was not affected by the woman at all, instead he sneered in an ambiguous manner.
Le Qinglan hugged Okar to her, wiping the blood off his face with a look of heartache. A blond, blue-eyed man rushed into the vault, followed by several high-level vampires. They used guns to shatter the ultraviolet light tubes on the ceiling, then took off their coats and wrapped Okar up.
The beautiful woman cut her wrists without hesitation and fed Okar with blood.
Zhuang Li pressed the remote control lightly, and the vault door closed automatically again.
Okar was trembling with fear, but Le Qinglan and Heinrich didn't care. The hundreds of high-level vampires they brought with them had already surrounded the bank. Even if the metal door was several meters thick, they were not afraid. The vampires outside would always rescue them.
"Zhuang Li, I will make you pay a heavy price. I will return to you a hundredfold and a thousandfold the suffering my son has endured!" Le Qinglan stared straight at the camera and said word by word.
"Sorry, you don't have this chance." Zhuang Li picked up the microphone placed next to the computer and said with a chuckle.
The loudspeaker he installed inside the vault delivered these words to Le Qinglan's ears.
Hearing this familiar, demonic voice, Okar quickly hugged his head and shrank into a corner, sobbing softly. It was obvious that Zhuang Li had developed post-traumatic stress disorder.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, 7480's nose felt sore. It seemed as if it saw its former self.
Heinrich quickly hugged his son and comforted him softly. When he looked at the camera, his eyes had turned red.
It's conceivable that if the three of them left the vault, Zhuang Li would be subjected to unprecedented cruelty. Furthermore, they would likely turn their anger against humans and unleash a bloody massacre in City B.
A devastating disaster is imminent.
Seeing this, everyone was scared, and the thought of "should I stop now" came to many people's minds.
But Zhuang Li never knew what "knowing when to stop" meant, and his revenge was always devastating.
He raised the corners of his lips lightly and pressed the red button at the top of the remote control.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...no movement on the screen.
Five seconds, six seconds, seven seconds—with a loud bang, it exploded unexpectedly.
Okar, who had recovered from drinking Le Qinglan's blood, exploded into a pile of minced meat in front of everyone. He died inexplicably and completely.
Before Le Qinglan and Heinrich could suppress the hatred in their eyes, their expressions had already transformed into one of incredible grief. Soon after, they both knelt, blood gushing from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses. Then, they curled up and lay down, rolling back and forth.
The several high-level vampires who entered the vault with them did not have as strong physique as them, and had already exploded and died like Okar.
They didn't understand what killed them until they died.
Zhuang Li pressed the remote control, and the scene on the screen switched to the outside of the vault. Hundreds of high-level vampires who were violently banging on the door fell to their knees one after another. Some exploded on the spot, and some died with blood gushing from all seven orifices.
Vampires are not immortal monsters. Besides light, they have other weaknesses.
Le Qinglan and Heinrich, who had just entered China not long ago, failed to rescue their son and were too late to retake the city.
They were completely wiped out in just a few minutes.
The humans watching this livestream: "!!!" Zhuang Li is a god, right? This isn't the kind of fighting power a human should possess! Every time, he can kill these vampires without even showing up!
"How did you do that?" X and Beak asked in awe.
Zhuang Li carefully played with Lei Ming's big hand and said nonchalantly, "I implanted a miniature infrasonic bomb in Okar's body.
"After the bomb detonates, all living things within a thousand meters will die from the resonance. Every cell in their body will explode.
"Le Qinglan's show is quite grand, bringing with him an army of high-level vampires. I doubt any human would dare approach within a thousand meters of this bank, right?"
"No, no one dares to go near where vampires gather." X shook his head firmly.
Zhuang Li waved his hand and said, "That's good. You can go to the bank and bring Le Qinglan and Heinrich back."
7480 knelt silently: "Master, you actually used all the methods to deal with the Zerg!"
Zhuang Li stared at Lei Ming's sleeping face and nodded, "I admit, I was anxious."
