Chapter 528 – The Medicine Must Not Stop

“Congratulations on becoming my first test subject.”

Though these words were only in his mind and not spoken aloud, the fervor in his eyes and the sinister smile on his lips were completely captured by Lucy.

She glanced at Ling Mo, then turned to look at Jianqi, who was now only barely managing to fend off attacks from all sides. Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine.

“Come to think of it… when and what made me think Ling Mo is a good person?”

Lucy shook her head vigorously, then silently took a few steps back.

The battle was so intense that she couldn’t find an opportunity to intervene.

Due to Ling Mo’s shout of “Don’t kill him,” the three girls’ movements were somewhat restrained.

However, their uncanny mobility and seamless cooperation left Jianqi, who was fighting with all his might, no chance for a counterattack.

Ling Mo stood outside the circle, taking any opportunity to strike Jianqi. Each time his tentacle appeared, it would leave Jianqi with a new wound.

Jianqi was seething with anger inside the circle, but he couldn’t even touch a single hair on Ling Mo’s head.

This fighting style… was simply too unfair!

Jianqi was burning with rage, wishing he could skin Ling Mo alive bit by bit. But the more agitated he became, the more flaws appeared in his movements.

As a result, Ling Mo seized the opportunity again, and with two quick thrusts, two blood blossoms exploded on Jianqi’s back.

“This won’t do, at this rate I’ll be played to death…”

Jianqi’s stamina was rapidly depleting. He panted heavily, watching the three girls moving nimbly around him.

One of them wielded a scythe with a broad attack range. Several times, he had tried to break through, only to be stopped by this long-haired girl.

Another girl wielded a bizarre weapon, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, making it impossible to guard against her.

And the girl with the sniper rifle, although she had no intention of shooting and hadn’t even really used the gun to hit him, had incredibly quick reflexes and excellent dynamic vision!

His movements were fast and varied, often deceiving even the scythe-wielding girl and the tall “mixed-blood” girl.

However, this sniper rifle girl always saw through his every move at first glance. Often, just as he executed a feint, she would counter his actual attack in the next instant.

This was the first time he had encountered opponents who could beat him to this extent, leaving him almost no chance to fight back!

Most importantly, the three of them were moving in ways that defied logic!

They would jump into the air, then suddenly cling to the ceiling, and with another leap, land right in front of him. This three-stage movement method was something he had never heard of before!

Moreover, these three girls didn’t seem like people who had mastered such superpowers. The answer was obvious: this was also Ling Mo’s doing.

The problem was, he was a mental ability superhuman!

Even if his psychic power was special, it shouldn’t be able to produce such effects, right?

But the reality was right in front of him, and it was mercilessly tormenting him time and time again, leaving him no choice but to believe.

It felt like Ling Mo was merely standing in front of him doing nothing, yet he was being beaten down bit by bit, soon to be reduced to a lifeless dog at Ling Mo’s feet.

“Damn it! That bastard… At this rate, I’ll be dead before I even get a chance to touch him!”

Jianqi was burning with rage, knowing he couldn’t hold on much longer.

Ling Mo had shouted, “Don’t kill him,” clearly wanting to extract more intelligence from him.

The shout was clearly also meant to make him see the situation clearly and choose to surrender.

In fact, that was precisely Ling Mo’s plan…

But Jianqi, after a moment’s thought, dismissed the idea with a shiver running down his spine.

Not to mention whether Ling Mo would spare him after he surrendered, even if he managed to survive, he would eventually fall into “their” hands…

Just thinking about those people made a deep fear well up from the depths of Jianqi’s heart.

“Either way, I’m dead! I might as well fight!”

Jianqi suddenly gritted his teeth and swiftly slapped his hand against his waist.

“Bang!”

A crisp sound echoed, clearly indicating something had been shattered.

Blood covered his hand.

“Looks like… he’s been pushed to the edge.”

Ling Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and said mockingly.

Lucy also heard the crisp sound. She looked at Jianqi, whose face had suddenly turned extremely flushed, and then quickly turned her head to look at Ling Mo. “You weren’t… waiting for him to do this, were you?”

“He’s digging his own grave. Who can stop him?”

Ling Mo snorted coldly.

However, this was also a good opportunity to observe. He remembered Jianqi’s cunning, but he was more interested in what Jianqi actually knew.

Now, if he was willing to be a test subject, wasn’t that perfect?

Though this was his thought, Ling Mo immediately increased the output of his mental energy.

Almost the entire corridor was filled with his blood-red tentacles.

Heavenly Strangulation, the first step was just the beginning…

The elixir quickly fused with Jianqi’s blood, making the abnormal flush on his face more pronounced.

His expression also became extremely twisted, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and his wounds started to tear open.

It was clear that he seemed to be in great pain…

“Ling Mo! You are truly the most despicable person! You want to capture me? Perfect, because I also want to capture you alive. Lucy was deceived by you, but I wasn’t. You have many secrets hidden inside you, don’t you? Once I extract all those secrets, you’ll become a perfect test subject…”

Jianqi, now a blood-soaked figure, gritted his teeth as he fended off the zombie girls’ attacks.

The elixir in his system acted like a high-powered stimulant, instantly boosting his stamina.

Feeling his strength rapidly return, even stronger than before, Jianqi dodged frantically while letting out a low, maniacal laugh. “Heh heh heh…”

“Indeed, the elixir must not stop…”

It was evident that the elixir had also affected his mental state. Whereas he could previously restrain his anger, he was now completely unhinged.

“Drinking poison to quench thirst… this elixir is indeed a test product.”

Ling Mo felt a bit disappointed, but then he thought that he didn’t really need a stimulant.

Jianqi’s research was limited, but what about the people behind him?

Those talks about the “perfect body” didn’t seem like something he came up with on his own.

Moreover, his willingness to fight to the death rather than surrender indicated that the forces behind Jianqi were highly threatening.

Otherwise, in this chaotic world, wouldn’t it be easy for a person to hide?

However, Ling Mo soon discovered the peculiarities of the elixir.

The wounds on Jianqi’s body had stopped bleeding…

“Such strong regenerative abilities… Isn’t this similar to the Spider Queen’s blood? But it’s still inferior to hers; it only stops the bleeding temporarily instead of healing… How did he come up with this? Could it be that he somehow captured the Spider Queen too?”

“That’s it!” Ling Mo suddenly hit upon the key point.

This guy had mentioned the virus’s homology several times, suggesting that he had made some progress in his research.

The “stimulant” for ordinary zombies, the “regeneration” of the variation zombie Spider Queen, and a trait that most low-level zombies carry called “mindless frenzy”…

“Roar!”

Jianqi let out a low roar, slapped away the scythe in Xia Na’s hand, and charged madly towards Ling Mo.

His strength had more than doubled compared to just moments ago. With his current momentum, if Ling Mo didn’t have a new countermeasure, Jianqi would soon break through the Heavenly Strangulation’s encirclement.

“Strength increased, stamina up, but your psychic light cluster is much weaker now…”

As Jianqi charged towards Ling Mo, an invisible wall suddenly appeared not far in front of him.

“Bang!”

The impact of the energy made Lucy’s face turn pale.

Ling Mo also felt a sharp pain in his head, but he smirked coldly.

Among his psychic tentacles, many were not materialized, and they launched an attack on Jianqi’s psychic light cluster!

As Jianqi was repelled, not only did his movements momentarily freeze, but his head also felt dizzy.

And behind his landing spot, a blood-red figure that only Ling Mo could see at the moment suddenly appeared.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”
