Chapter 117: The Dagger Revealed (Part 2)



"Attack! Attack! Don't hit the damn wall! Are you trying to bury us all in here?"

He unintentionally replaced his most handy heavy sniper rifle, in order to prevent himself from destroying this place with one shot and making it a burial place for all of them.

The jars suddenly shattered, and the monsters inside came to life. The scene looked like a scene from a horror movie.

He Shizhao reacted quickly, immediately deployed his formation, and launched a defense and counterattack.

However, the space is limited, and we dare not use all the heavy firepower, so we are somewhat restricted in the battle.

"hiss……"

Su Heng warned loudly: "Be careful! The liquid in these things is highly corrosive! Don't get close to them!"

The part of his combat uniform where one of the weapons had just dripped blood had been burned through, and even his skin was burned. If he hadn't reacted quickly, half of his arm would have been melted off.

Seeing the terrible consequences, the team members gasped.

"Do you want to retreat?" Su Mo asked loudly.

He Sizhao kicked a monster away with force, his eyes cold.

He turned around and quickly looked around the entire data room, feeling that he had missed some important details.

If this is the doctor's core area, then what exactly is he researching?

These inhuman monsters and clones are of the same nature, all "unnatural creations created by human effort." If he just wanted to research weapons beyond human combat power, then he would have succeeded. Why would he still have this laboratory?

Is it that they still haven't found the true core of the doctor, or is he using these exaggerated studies to... hide something?

Suddenly, a warning flashed through He Sizhao's mind.

He suddenly stopped moving, turned around and looked someone in the chaotic battlefield.

It can be said that they were looking at each other, but in fact, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him alone.

It was the monster I saw just now that was covered with eyes. It had a face but no facial features, as if it had been forcibly melted away by something.

There are eyes all over his body, except for his face.

He Sizhao looked at it quietly, his whole body alert. At the moment it attacked, he suddenly jumped up, rushed forward and knocked away the three team members who were within the opponent's attack range.

Bang!

The still confused team members looked back at where they were just now, and their faces turned pale.

A flesh-red thing that looked like a tongue and a tentacle slowly retracted from the ground, leaving a pool of mucus.

The countless barbs on it flashed with sharp cold light, accompanied by a harsh sizzling sound. The ground where it slid over was not only corroded with a sizzling sound, but also scratched with deep marks.

It squirmed back into the empty head of the eye monster and disappeared with a whoosh.

Everyone gasped.

"What...what is this?" Wuyi was so disgusted that he almost vomited. "Why is this doctor always devoted to researching such anti-human things?"

"Stand back." He Sizhao quickly got up, like a swift cheetah, staring at the movements of the monster in his eyes.

It soon understood again.

It had eyes all over its body, and no human movement could escape its sight. Amidst everyone's vigilance, its entire head suddenly opened like a flower, and five tentacles like those from before stretched out from it!

“Get out of the way!”

He Sizhao issued a warning and rushed forward like an arrow. With a flash of cold light in his hand, he unsheathed the military dagger and instantly cut off one of the tentacles with a movement that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

This action angered the monster, and it immediately gave up its other prey and began to concentrate on dealing with He Sizhao.

This was exactly what He Sizhao intended. While fighting back, he still had the energy to order: "Su Mo, call out Xiaoxue!"

Su Mo immediately followed the order and then asked, "Where to search?"

"In the data room inside." He Sizhao said, "I suspect there is another secret room."

In order to protect Xiaoxue, Su Mo slowly retreated inside, while everyone outside guarded the door tightly, preventing these monsters from stepping in.

When human power is beyond reach, that's when these little animals come into play.

The eye monster seemed to realize something and wanted to bypass He Sizhao to enter the data room. He moved, but He Sizhao was faster than him and blocked its way.

"You can't go anywhere until you kill me," said He Sizhao.

Five hundred kilometers away, Jiang Chuyi looked at this disgusting face and said coldly: "If you want to kill He Sizhao, it depends on whether you have the ability."

"Oh?" The doctor breathed with difficulty. If it weren't for his special awakening talent, he would have been torn into pieces by now.

"Then you could have just killed me, but you hesitated now." He smiled, his eyes dark, "because you can't afford the consequences of his actual death."

Jiang Chuyi stared at him motionlessly, but just as he said, her shadow hand was stuck there. If it was tightened just one centimeter, she could strangle him to death, but she stopped.

Is this uneasiness that spreads from the bottom of my heart called worry?

This was the umpteenth time today that she had agreed. The doctor took a deep breath as hard as he could and then started coughing.

"You really... care about him so much." He said hoarsely, "I raised you and created you, and in the end, you actually want to kill me for a man you've only known for a few months."

"You've got one thing wrong." Jiang Chuyi said, "My desire to kill you has nothing to do with He Sizhao. As long as I see your face, I want to tear it apart, that's all."

"Your words really make Dad happy," the doctor said. "That's how it should be. Whether it's hatred or disgust, all your emotions should belong to me. Who the hell is He Sizhao? How could he deserve your attention? Xiaoyi, you are a one-of-a-kind treasure, and you should belong to the one-of-a-kind me."

Ignoring the death threat on his neck, he actually took a step forward and opened his arms, wanting to hug Jiang Chuyi in his arms.

Of course, he couldn't even take a step forward. As long as he tried to move, he would be held tightly by the shadow hand on his neck. Any movement forward would only be his death warrant.

Jiang Chuyi's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent: "What did you do to He Sizhao and the others?"

The doctor said, "Let me hold you, and I'll tell you."

Jiang Chuyi looked at him as if he were an epileptic patient.

She called out to another tool in her mind: "System, get out here."

The system was well aware of the crisis at the moment and quickly appeared: "Here, host."

"I don't have time to question you about why this world has been turned into a sieve. I'll give you ten seconds to scan the doctor's research area and tell me what happened." Jiang Chuyi's tone was flat. "One second late and you'll die. It's your choice."

She had just tried to contact Xiao San, but found that she was blocked by a powerful energy, just like the zombies summoned by the doctor just now. She was obviously the zombie king, but it seemed that her connection with those zombies was cut off, and she could not communicate with their consciousness at all.

She didn't want to use the system, which might be a traitorous thing, but now she had no choice.

The system didn't dare to delay. It only took seven seconds for it to quickly report back: "Host, that area has been enclosed by a force of energy. No one, human or zombie, can enter or exit now."

"Tell me something I don't know." Jiang Chuyi said.

The system hesitated. "The distance is too far. I'm not sure if this judgment is correct... The energy enveloping that area gives me a very familiar feeling."

Jiang Chuyi's heart was shocked: "What did you say?"

"It feels like you, the host, are there."

"I know what they're going to do. He knows about our relationship and is worried that I might have something that could restrain you, so he deliberately didn't take you with him. He wanted to protect you." The doctor laughed strangely, interrupting Jiang Chuyi's shock. "Xiaoyi, this is humankind. During the time you've been with them, you've been despicably deceived by them. They're arrogant, greedy, and overestimate their own abilities. He Sizhao wants to protect you, but he also wants to kill me. Do you think that's possible?"

"These adjectives are perfect for describing yourself." Jiang Chuyi came back to his senses. "Although I really want to kill you with my own hands, I would rather see you suffer. Since you don't believe He Sizhao can kill you, then I will spare your life and wait for him to come back and finish you off personally."

The doctor's expression changed immediately.

"What are you talking about?" he asked in disbelief. "You would actually do this for him?"

He knew too well how much Jiang Chuyi wanted to kill him. Not only did he not feel fear, but every time he saw Jiang Chuyi's murderous eyes, his whole body would be filled with excitement and trembling.

It was a feeling of fate. She, who was extremely powerful, had to submit to his hands, and she could only be owned by him.

He owns her, uses her, and may eventually die at her hands. In his plan, this is the most perfect life.

Even her killing intent belonged to him.

But now a third person has appeared between them, and Jiang Chuyi's softness and kindness have been taken away. Now, he has even given up his obsession to kill him with his own hands. This is really...

"Damn it." The doctor opened his lips and murmured softly.

"It's a pity that you probably won't be able to wait for him to come back."

Jiang Chuyi's pupils suddenly shrank.

The next second after the doctor said this, she felt an unusual energy fluctuation, and then screams came from the quiet humans behind her again.

He turned around quickly and saw that several zombies suddenly appeared in the hall where there was no zombie at all. They roared and pounced on the humans next to them.

Where do the zombies come from?

The Doctor let out a low, amused laugh.

"It's finally time. It's worth my trip here." He said, "Xiaoyi, you all thought I didn't want you to follow He Sizhao to the institute to find me, but on the contrary, when I first found out you weren't among them, I was ecstatic. If you had gone, my experiment wouldn't have been able to enter the final stage."

"Look, this is the greatest research of my life."

Those zombies did not appear suddenly. Their blood was still flowing, there was no rotten flesh on their bodies, and they even had familiar faces.

As Jiang Chuyi watched, all the ordinary humans who came into contact with that energy wailed, and then—

Without being bitten or coming into contact with an infected body, he suddenly turned into a zombie on the spot.

His real purpose is to turn all humans in the world into zombies!
