Chapter 68 Chapter 68 (Update 1)

"This growth potion can help you regain your strength."

Handing the blue drug to him, Lansing observed his expression without blinking: "But you stopped using the growth drug without authorization, which caused your growth to stagnate. If you use a high-concentration growth drug now, you will quickly enter the growth period, and the pain will be more than ten times stronger than before."

The little mermaid's jaws were clenched, and her pale lips were covered with scars.

Even when he was facing death, he had never felt so powerless. Looking at Nota, whose face was getting paler and paler, and Ruan Jiao, who was tightly holding his sleeve, he took the medicine with a firm look in his eyes.

[thank you.]

He finished typing, unscrewed the bottle of medicine, and drank it without hesitation.

Ruan Jiao looked at him worriedly.

Instead, Lansing had a strange expression on his face, squinting his eyes to observe his reaction.

The tingling sensation first rose from the tail, as if tens of thousands of needles were piercing its tail. The little mermaid was able to remain calm at first, but when the dense tingling pain spread throughout his body, he could only curl up his body tightly and bite his fingers hard.

The exposed skin began to turn red, and blood vessels bulged beneath the flesh. He felt as if he was placed on a needle board and rolled back and forth. There was no part of his body that didn't hurt.

But even so, he only let out a brief whimper from between his teeth, holding his tail with both hands and curling up into a ball.

It hurts so much, even more than when the scales on my tail were plucked out piece by piece.

The cold sweat that kept dripping soaked the ground where he was lying.

Ruan Jiao, who was standing next to him, anxiously moved his tentacles, trying to comfort the other person, but as soon as his hands touched the little mermaid's skin, he heard him let out an unbearable cry of pain.

Ruan Jiao was so shocked that he withdrew his hand instantly and looked at him helplessly.

After biting his lip and thinking for a moment, he leaned over and gently pressed his forehead against his.

The tentacles swayed rhythmically, the little mermaid's painful groans gradually subsided, the bulging blood vessels on his skin gradually smoothed out, and he slowly calmed down.

After a long while, Ruan Jiao straightened up, let out a tired breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let his tentacles fall down weakly.

The scales on the little mermaid's tail gradually faded away, and the beautiful blue fish tail turned into two long legs connected together.

Lansing watched the changes in the two cubs with increasing interest.

Only he himself knew that what he gave 047 was never a growth potion. The laboratory that created the artificial mermaid had long been destroyed, and the growth potion naturally no longer existed. Even if the mermaids still had some in stock, he couldn't carry it with him. What he gave him was just a tube of the most ordinary physical supplement.

What supports 047 in breaking free from the shackles is his strong willpower.

Or to put it another way, it was his spiritual power that was ignited. And this cub, whose origin was unknown and seemed to be closely related to the Zerg, was able to soothe 047's pain, most likely relying on his spiritual power.

In the entire Galaxy Empire, the research on mental power has been stagnant, and many people even question the existence of mental power as pseudoscience.

But only those who have experienced it personally understand that this is a power of a higher level.

"The pain you feel is exactly the same as what I felt back then. It seems my guess was right." Lansing murmured in a low voice.

When the laboratory selected him from countless experimental subjects and sent him to the ancestral land of the mermaids, he realized his predetermined fate - to become the vessel of the Son of God.

Only the strongest person can be the leader of the mermaid tribe. And the bloodline born from the strongest person will definitely inherit the strong bloodline of his father, become the next strong person, and inherit the position of the leader.

But this Holy Son was a sickly person with congenital deficiencies. The mermaid clan leader kept this matter a secret, and no one else knew about it except the two most trusted elders.

In order to restore the Son of God's strong body, the patriarch made countless efforts. Finally, he secretly set up a laboratory and used the Son of God's genes to create countless experimental subjects, trying to rebuild a healthy and strong body for the Son of God.

According to what he learned later, the patriarch had mastered a method of extracting the spiritual body through some channel. He was able to extract the spiritual body of the Son of God from the weak body and then inject it into the selected strong body.

But they never expected that the sickly man was not only physically weak, but also mentally weak.

When he woke up from the intense pain and realized that someone was trying to devour him, he devoured the other person in return without any hesitation.

It was a very mysterious feeling. The pain of the spiritual body being forcibly merged was a hundred times or a thousand times stronger than the pain brought by the flesh. When he completely devoured the other party, he seemed to have become the other party and felt all the experiences of the other party. But when he really woke up, he was completely sure that he was experimental subject 074, not Lansing Libian.

He has all of Lansing Lipian's memories.

The subconscious memory of the spiritual level is sometimes longer and clearer than the surface memory. His understanding of Lansing Libian is even deeper than that of himself.

And it just so happens that the identity of Lansing Libian can allow him to get everything he wants.

Then everything became a natural thing. He played the role of Lansing Libian very well during these years, and his nominal father, the leader of the mermaid clan, almost devoted everything to cultivate him.

His identity as the Holy Son of the Mermaid Tribe made it easier for him to conduct research on spiritual entities.

His long-held guess was correct. When the power of the spiritual body was strong enough, it could break free from the constraints of the physical body.

"You succeeded." Lansing leaned over, looked down at the other person, and said mockingly: "It is the most foolish thing to rely on others in times of danger."

He recalled the reluctance he felt when he returned to the mermaid tribe and learned through indirection that the laboratory had been destroyed and all the experimental subjects had been disposed of.

Throwing a coat on the little mermaid who had completely transformed into a human form, he stood up and picked up the unconscious little fox, urging him, "Now that you've recovered, follow me."

The little mermaid had not yet recovered from the shock of having two legs. She hastily picked up her coat and tied it around her waist, then moved her legs clumsily and stumbled after him.

When passing by the locker room, Lansing stopped and frowned as he looked at his dishevelled appearance: "Go find some clothes to change into."

The little mermaid nodded embarrassedly and rushed into the locker room in panic.

The locker room was mainly used by teachers. The little mermaid shamelessly dug out a black men's sports suit and put it on.

After the fish tail turned into a pair of legs, his body also grew much taller. The loose sportswear on his body was just the right length except that it was a little too loose.

He tugged at his clothes awkwardly, took a deep breath and walked out.

Looking at the unconscious little fox in Lansing's arms, his expression became worried again: "We have to find medicine to treat Nota's wound first."

"The infirmary is too far away, and it's inconvenient to bring them along." Lan Xin glanced at Ruan Jiao, who was following closely beside 047, and narrowed his eyes and said, "Send them to the shelter first, and then find medicine." As he said that, he glanced at the ignorant little mermaid with a half-smile: "You don't think this is the end, do you?"

[What?] The little mermaid looked at him blankly.

Lansing pulled out the long knife from his back and threw it to him: "Next, you have to learn to go outside and kill bugs." He raised his lips maliciously: "It's actually very simple. Killing a bug is no harder than killing a person."

The little mermaid's face turned pale, but she still held the knife tightly.

On the way to find a shelter for the cubs, the three met the teacher who was searching carefully everywhere.

The teacher breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ruan Jiao and strode towards him.

They had moved in such a hurry that they did not notice when a few cubs had fallen behind. After they settled the other cubs and counted the number of people, they discovered that three were missing. They had to carefully avoid the Zerg and go out to search.

"We moved to another basement." He looked at the little mermaid who had grown into a teenager, then at the unconscious and obviously injured little fox. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to ask.

"Take us there first." Lansing did not give the other party a chance to ask.

The teacher nodded, hurried ahead, and took them to the basement for temporary shelter.

After handing the little fox to the teacher who stayed behind and instructing Ruan Jiao to take good care of the little fox, the little mermaid followed Lan Xin and walked out step by step.

On the other side, Mo Li had already rushed to the factory with all his men to meet with Ruan Shiqing.

The factory's protective shield had been fully opened, and the Zerg could not attack for the time being. Mori counted the weapons in the warehouse, distributed them all, and then led his men to start a counterattack.

They have a lot of manpower and are equipped with powerful weapons, so they are more confident when killing the Zerg.

Ruan Shiqing sat in the control room, keeping an eye on the situation around the factory so that he could notify Mori at any time.

He released batches of reconnaissance robots. Some of the robots were trampled or knocked down by the Zerg as soon as they came out of the protective shield, but many surviving reconnaissance robots flew to higher places and became his eyes.

The entire outer city was occupied by the Zerg.

In the sky and on the ground, dense insects were flying or crawling, their hard shells and limbs colliding and rubbing against each other, making extremely mentally polluting noises.

Ruan Shiqing kept switching perspectives to understand the situation everywhere.

After a long time, he narrowed his eyes and opened the communication channel with Marin: "Those Zergs are circling around the cub school. There may be something there that attracts them." He said in a heavy voice: "Mr. Rong, Hector, and the cubs of the school are all there."

Mori looked at the real-time image he sent over - densely packed Zerg spread out in a vortex, and the center of the vortex was the Cub School.

He hissed softly and said, "There are too many. Even with Mr. Rong and Hector here, they won't last long. They can't be killed at all."

Ruan Shiqing switched the interface to the anti-reconnaissance system. Looking at the dense Zerg rushing into B3024 from the dark universe, he said, "We must find a way to cut off the Zerg's follow-up forces. B3024 has a space station, so there should be a defense system, right? The asteroid-level defense shield should be able to temporarily resist the Zerg's follow-up attack."

"Yes." Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "In the inner city."

Ruan Shiqing's eyes darkened: "Then let's go to the inner city."
