Chapter 118: Walking Dead
Scarlet eyes, a blank expression, as if it were a cold and terrifying walking corpse.
His hands and feet were still bound by metal buckle rings, with a large piece of iron attached to the rings.
He walked step by step towards Xia Chenge, the iron dragging on the ground with a piercing sound.
His gaze was unfocused, and anything in his path, whether an item or a person, was swept aside by him.
Xia Chenge stared at him intently, finding it hard to believe that the person walking towards her was Ling Hanmu, who was once overbearing, occasionally shameless, but whose smile was brighter than the sun.
This behavior was exactly like the zombies in the apocalypse, controlled by a virus, devoid of thought, and stripped of humanity, acting purely on instinct.
That bloodthirsty gaze was exactly the same as the one outside the Xia family’s door back then.
Why had Ling Hanmu become like this?
Xia Chenge trembled slightly, her heart feeling as if it had been cut by something, causing sharp pain.
In the apocalypse, she would mercilessly kill anyone infected with the zombie virus.
But when this infected person was Ling Hanmu, she couldn’t bring herself to act, her mind filled with his every move from their past.
For the first time, Xia Chenge realized that some memories were so beautiful, even if they were initially forced upon her!
Ling Hanmu, why did it have to be you?
Xia Chenge clenched her fists. Even though she had become an evolved human, she was still helpless against those infected with the zombie virus…
Meanwhile, Ling Hanmu was getting closer and closer to them.
The person in charge of the laboratory’s eyes suddenly became fanatical upon seeing him.
With the appearance of Ling Hanmu, the great killer weapon, Xia Chenge was doomed!
“Kill her!” The person in charge, taking advantage of Xia Chenge’s full attention being on Ling Hanmu, suddenly broke free and gave Ling Hanmu a command.
Ling Hanmu paused, then immediately clutched his head in pain, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.
His eyes turned as red as blood, and he suddenly went into a rage, destroying everything within his reach. Having lost his consciousness and awareness, he didn’t stop even though his hands were bleeding profusely.
Seeing this, Xia Chenge leaped forward to stop Ling Hanmu from self-harming. However, as soon as Ling Hanmu detected someone approaching, he agilely dodged and even began to fight with Xia Chenge.
Before her evolution was complete, Ling Hanmu was in a normal state, and he was her equal.
Now, after completing his evolution, Ling Hanmu was in a state of rage, and even when fighting her at her peak strength, he was not at a disadvantage.
Xia Chenge was greatly shocked.
The two of them moved like a blur of light and shadow, flying up and down, destroying everything in their path.
In the blink of an eye, the laboratory was almost completely destroyed by the two of them.
The person in charge was heartbroken, but thinking of Xia Chenge’s terrifying strength, he wished Ling Hanmu would kill Xia Chenge.
If such a clear-headed and powerful person knew about the existence of the laboratory, they would have no place to hide.
Seeing that Ling Hanmu was about to take her down with him, Xia Chenge involuntarily shouted, “Xiao Ge, stop!”
Upon hearing her voice, Ling Hanmu suddenly stopped and looked at Xia Chenge, his gaze finally showing a flicker of emotion.
Xia Chenge held her breath.
“Xiao Ge, can we stop fighting?” Xia Chenge tentatively said again.
The scarlet in Ling Hanmu’s eyes strangely began to fade, and when it returned to normal, he softly collapsed.
Xia Chenge leaped forward and caught him before he hit the ground.
Ling Hanmu no longer exuded that terrifying killing intent. The body temperature transmitted through his clothes made Xia Chenge tremble again: zombies have no body temperature, but Ling Hanmu does. Was he not infected with the zombie virus?
Xia Chenge urgently examined Ling Hanmu’s internal body, feeling both surprised and delighted.
She was surprised that Ling Hanmu’s bodily functions were very different from a normal person’s, and delighted that there was no virus in his body.
Xia Chenge didn’t have time to think about it. The thought of this terrifying laboratory made her gaze turn cold.
Such an anti-human laboratory should not exist in this world!
She looked at the people in the laboratory, and as soon as they met her gaze, they became terrified.
Especially the person in charge, whose greatest trump card was Ling Hanmu, but he never expected him to be so easily subdued by Xia Chenge.
What was Xia Chenge’s background that she could subdue their great killer weapon, Ling Hanmu?
“Now, it’s your turn to go to hell!” Xia Chenge placed Ling Hanmu in a safe position and said coldly to those people, “None of you will leave here alive!”
As soon as the words fell, a figure flashed past, and screams of agony instantly echoed in the laboratory.
Xia Chenge broke the limbs of those people, preventing them from harming others ever again.
At the same time, Xia Chenge suddenly sensed that many people had arrived outside the laboratory and heard them preparing to blast open the laboratory door.
Without time to think, she flashed away, carrying Ling Hanmu, and hid in a small room inside.
With a loud bang, the laboratory shook.
The entire ceiling of the laboratory collapsed, crushing the people inside into bloody messes, and the laboratory was destroyed even more thoroughly. The small room, however, remained almost intact.
A group of police officers rushed in, shouting, “Everyone raise your hands and don’t move, police!”
Ling Zhongwen and Ling Zhongjing arrived shortly after, their eyes anxiously searching the laboratory.
“Xiao Ge, how are you? Are you alright?” Ling Zhongjing spotted Xia Chenge immediately and hurried over to ask.
When he saw Ling Hanmu lying on the ground with blood all over his hands, he was greatly alarmed: “What happened to Xiao Mu?”
“Xiao Mu and I were brought here by them and almost lost our lives. Fortunately, Xiao Mu saved me!” Xia Chenge feigned a frightened demeanor.
When she destroyed that camera, the laboratory’s monitoring system had already completely crashed. Apart from the people in the laboratory, no one else would see her skills. Even if these people spoke of it, no one would believe them.
The laboratory was too anti-human, and the police and the Ling family would not make it public to avoid public panic.
“What is this place?” Ling Zhongjing finally examined the laboratory carefully, but it was already so destroyed that it was impossible to tell anything.
“Zhongjing, you take Xiao Mu and Chenge to the hospital for examination and treatment first. Leave this matter to me,” Ling Zhongwen said, walking over with a serious expression. “I suspect this is a biological laboratory that uses living people for experiments.”
Xia Chenge looked at Ling Zhongwen, and hidden anger flickered in his eyes.
“These people are truly inhumane, how could they disregard life like this!” Ling Zhongwen cursed again. “Except for you two, almost everyone else is dead!”
“I will assist the police in thoroughly investigating this laboratory. I’ll leave this place to you for now, and I’ll take them away!” Ling Zhongjing picked up Ling Hanmu and asked Xia Chenge, “Xiao Ge, can you still walk?”
“I can!” Xia Chenge nodded and got up to leave the laboratory with Ling Zhongjing.
As they walked out the door, she glanced back at the laboratory. Ling Zhongwen was squatting down, carefully examining the dead experimental subjects.
Xia Chenge’s mood was heavy. She could have saved some of the experimental subjects, but the explosion had caused all of them to die.
Xiao Momo will make a cameo, but not so soon. Have you all guessed who it is?
