Chapter 123 The Death of Lu Ming
"I'd rather go to your grandpa!"
Mingzhao was speechless.
This person has truly taken the shamelessness of capitalists to the extreme.
However, Mingzhao also made a judgment based on this.
Because she didn't really understand how the company's biological research and drug production were conducted, she didn't have a basic understanding of Lu Ming's capabilities before.
But now she understands.
Lu Ming would have to put in far more effort to cultivate a creation like Xiao Weizhe than he would have for a wind spirit.
So even though he used his initial talent to plunder so many of the company's resources, a large portion of them were used for research by various departments.
He also poured most of his resources into nurturing Xiao Wei.
In other words, Lu Ming is essentially a summoner, with little offensive capability other than enhanced defense.
Xiao Wei, as his summoned beast, fought in his place.
Having figured this out, Mingzhao suddenly realized that this person was not scary at all.
In the game of Great Voyage, improving one's own strength is the most important thing.
Whether it's the drugs the employees drank or the summoned beast-like existence like Xiao Wei, they are all external things.
External factors should play a supporting role, not a decisive one.
When faced with a true life-or-death situation, the only person you can rely on is yourself.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming, who was used to being a leader and having his subordinates work for him, did not understand this principle.
Next, Mingzhao ignored Xiaowei's attacks.
If Xiaowei wants to cast a large-scale spell, she needs a very long wind-up.
Taking advantage of this moment, Mingzhao attacked Lu Ming, forcing Xiaowei to interrupt her spellcasting to save her.
This meant that Xiaowei could only cast simple spells that didn't require much preparation time, which Mingzhao could block with his water shield.
Lu Ming gradually became a little irritated. Why did his great creation not feel as useful as he had imagined?
At the same time, Mingzhao also noticed something.
At first, Xiao Wei completely obeyed Lu Ming's orders, even if his orders were unreasonable and made the situation worse, she would still strictly follow them.
But after one layer of restrictions was lifted, the situation seemed to change somewhat.
After observing for a while, Mingzhao discovered that she was only roughly following Lu Ming's orders, and some minor details would be adjusted.
Sometimes, when Lu Ming issues obviously unreasonable commands, she will pause and lower the priority of execution.
This led Mingzhao to a bold conjecture.
When Xiaowei lifted the ban, did she also lift something else?
Perhaps this could be a turning point in the battle.
Having figured this out, Mingzhao launched a fierce attack on Lu Ming.
She held back, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Lu Ming, including high-pressure water cannons, ice spikes, lightning nets, and a rain of needles.
Seeing this situation, Lu Ming let out a sharp, explosive sound, even shriller than Xiao Wei's bird call.
There was a distance between him and Xiaowei, and Xiaowei's wind blades couldn't block so many attacks at the same time.
Several tiny rain-like needles pierced through the gaps in the wind blades and struck Lu Ming.
As the toxin spread, he immediately took out a pill and swallowed it, and his complexion returned to normal.
But this did not quell his anger; at that moment, he felt that his authority as a leader had been challenged.
"Enough, Xiaowei, are you useless? Protect me right now!"
Xiao Wei's bluish-white eyes only have whites, no pupils.
She turned around, her unfocused eyes seemingly glancing at him.
It let out a painful cry.
Although his hands kept moving, the defense was no more tight than before.
Lu Ming was immediately furious.
"Xiao Wei, open the second layer of restrictions. We must take care of her this time!"
In that instant, a hurricane swept across the sea, and the water droplets in the sea were swept up by the gale and carried into the sky.
Xiao Wei's body once again emitted a bluish-white light.
She looked up to the sky and howled, her voice shrill and piercing, a far cry from her initial gentleness.
The hurricane swarm roared toward Mingzhao, who quickly used [Five-Part True God].
This allowed her to stand there triumphantly, and the hurricane no longer posed any threat to her.
Xiaowei looked like she was in great pain; every single strand of her hair was standing on end.
A pair of bird wings grew out of the flesh and bones on her back, tearing through her skin.
Blood was scattered on the ground and then swept away by the hurricane.
She now looks like some kind of deformed fused organism.
The wind spirit's blue wings and these newly grown feather wings did not merge into one behind her.
The two stood side by side in stark contrast.
Xiao Wei was in a similar state at the moment, feeling unstable as if she were being pulled apart by two forces.
Lu Ming stood still, watching Xiao Wei, waiting for her to attack Ming Zhao.
But after waiting for a long time, Xiaowei was still struggling in the same spot.
Although her attacks were ferocious, they were completely random and without any direction.
However, Mingzhao, who possessed the power of the Five-Second True God, was completely unaffected at this moment.
But Lu Ming was unaware of all this.
All he saw was that Xiaowei's attacks on Mingzhao had absolutely no effect.
What Lu Ming finds most unbearable is this feeling of being out of control.
He roared menacingly at Xiaowei.
"Xiao Wei, get rid of her at all costs! Have you forgotten our agreement?"
"Didn't we agree before that we would erase everything for my great cause?"
Xiao Wei stood there, her face contorted in pain.
"Erase...everything?"
A confused sound came from her mouth, a hoarse and shrill voice that seemed not to belong to her.
"Yes, kill her now! She's the one who's getting in our way... Ah!!!"
Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that a wind blade had pierced through his chest.
He looked down in disbelief at his chest.
He had prepared so many life-saving measures for himself, yet he could not withstand the blow from his proudest creation.
The blood on his chest gradually spread, and he looked up at the creature that was in so much pain that it was impossible to tell what it was.
"Xiao Wei...you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mingzhao saw his eyes widen in disbelief, and the pupils gradually dilated.
He died just like that, silently and without a trace.
Mingzhao felt something was off.
Logically speaking, most people's physical bodies should have already been enhanced by the Great Voyage game.
In Mingzhao's opinion, Lu Ming's injuries were not serious.
At least if this injury happened to her, even if it damaged her heart, she would have time to use a healing potion to save herself.
However, Lu Ming died less than a minute after being injured.
Even though he used all his resources on research and Xiaowei, without adding any points.
But didn't he himself use those drugs from the company?
