Lu Weiming’s body was torn into countless pieces in an instant.
In his final moment, his gaze fell on Ning Su.
Ning Su stood in the doorway, quietly watching him.
Behind him was a sky full of flaming red, magnificent sunset. The orange sun cast its light on his back, leaving a long shadow in the laboratory.
Blood splattered on the shadow.
In this dark and damp laboratory, the ceiling and walls were crowded with a chaotic mix of tentacles, horns, and human body parts.
A genius with a twisted mind, unrestrained by morality in the apocalyptic world, his desires went wild, and his perverse love for “perversity” led to the creation of these mutated creatures and forms.
He believed he was like a god, capable of creating and altering species.
And standing in a god’s position, he designated someone as sinful and dirty.
Chewing sounds came from various corners of the dark laboratory.
His “creations” devoured the god.”
The dark past buried deep in Ning Su’s heart was also devoured.
He felt neither the pleasure of revenge nor the emptiness of killing his enemy.
It was more like a farewell, stepping lightly out of a gloomy past and into the warm sunlight.
Ning Su murmured something softly.
The Human Pupa Master: “What did you say?”
Ning Su: “He’s been eaten by so many people. Can he still enter the game?”
The Human Pupa Master: “? What foolishness are you spouting again? He was in the game all along!”
She looked at Ning Su’s legs.
The young man’s legs were straight and long, not showing their outline under the cotton casual pants, appearing slim and seemingly without much strength, yet he kicked open the iron door with one blow.
The Human Pupa Master licked her lips. “Quite strong.”
Ning Su: “Thanks to the Human Pupa Master’s groundwork, I dare not take credit.”
The Human Pupa Master snorted.
After Lu Weiming was thoroughly devoured and died, the remaining few deformed people in the courtyard, without his control, were easy to deal with.
The researchers were not worth mentioning.
Just as the Black-clothed Azan was about to deal with them, annoying blue liquid sprayed into the courtyard again, and a group of people outside ran towards them.
Now both the Black-clothed Azan and the Human Pupa Master knew that not everyone here was an ordinary person; some had troublesome abilities.
“Don’t fight head-on! Hide first!”
Ning Su: “Got it!”
As soon as the Black-clothed Azan finished speaking, he was the first to run away, disappearing almost instantly.
“...”
Good for nothing except eating, slacking off, and escaping first.
Ning Su ran to the back of the research institute.
The institute was indeed a courtyard. Facing the main gate was a not-so-tall small building, and behind it were two warehouse-like rooms.
Ning Su remembered that one of them housed zombies.
In the apocalypse, the research institute mainly studied zombies. Initially, they researched ordinary zombies, gradually capturing and studying slightly different ones.
Ning Su opened the iron door and carefully searched among the zombies.
“Xia Ke?” Ning Su asked a girl in the corner.
The girl looked up blankly, with a mix of surprise and bewilderment, as if she couldn’t understand how someone could recognize her in such a world.
“Don’t be nervous.” Ning Su gave her an antidote and sprayed No. 8 incense poison on her. “Someone will come to take you away.”
In the room, Ning Su also found a member of the Hongyu Guild and someone from the zombie faction.
He brought the member of the Hongyu Guild to Xia Ke’s side and dealt with the other one efficiently.
As Ning Su was about to climb over the wall to leave the backyard, he heard someone calling him.
“Ning Su, it’s me, Jia Chengsheng. Come over here!” Jia Chengsheng was standing in the corner calling him.
It was now clear which faction each group belonged to. Jia Chensheng and the people standing with him were all human faction players.
Ning Su returned to the research institute. “President Jia, have you met up with the people from the Yinhua Guild?”
Hearing Ning Su call him President Jia, Jia Chengsheng was almost certain that he was Ning Su, the player.
“We’ve already met up, at Experimental Middle School,” Jia Chensheng said. “But we’ve split into two teams now; the people from Yinhua are not at the human survivor base.”
“Ning Su, I need to talk to you,” said Jia Chensheng with a serious and solemn expression, prompting Ning Su to become serious as well.
“Go ahead,” Ning Su replied.
“You probably know by now that the other you in the game is the Zombie King, capable of leading and suppressing all the zombies in the city,” Jia Chensheng said.
Ning Su nodded.
Jia Chensheng continued, “You must have seen it too. Under his leadership, the zombies are attacking the human survivor bases. The zombie faction players are cooperating with him, putting the human faction players in great danger.”
“So?” Ning Su asked.
“Can you kill him? He is our biggest threat. With him around, we can’t win,” Jia Chensheng stated.
Ning Su’s clear peach blossom eyes quietly observed him.
Jia Chensheng said, “I’m not asking you to just kill yourself. The other selves of the human faction players are all zombies. To protect the human homeland, in the end, we all have to kill ourselves.”
Ning Su pursed his lips. “What does President Shi mean by this?”
Jia Chensheng truthfully replied, “President Shi disagrees, which is why I came to talk to you. I think she’s being too irrational.”
Ning Su bluntly said, “That’s because you’re stupid.”
Jia Chensheng’s face turned livid. “Ning Su, you need to have a broader perspective. Our primary task is to kill the other you. He is the greatest threat to humanity.”
Ning Su calmly responded, “President Jia, can you trust me? He definitely isn’t a threat to humanity.”
One of Jia Chensheng’s companions couldn’t stand it anymore. “Stop deceiving yourself and us. The other you hates humanity and are bent on revenge. He’s already leading the zombies to attack us!”
The air grew still.
Ning Su pursed his lips and quietly looked at them.
Jia Chensheng took a step forward to grab Ning Su’s wrist.
Ning Su suddenly flipped onto the wall. “Human Pupa Master, Jia Chensheng is here. They’re trying to attack me. Hurry!”
“Where?”
Xue Wei responded promptly.
Jia Chensheng, furious, shouted, “Ning Su, you are a human faction player! Do you even know what you’re doing?”
Ning Su shouted in the direction of the Human Pupa Master, “I’ve long been part of the zombie faction!”
“……”
If it were only dealing with the Human Pupa Master, it wouldn’t be a problem for Jia Chensheng, but he knew that the Black-clothed Azan was also nearby.
Jia Chensheng immediately led his people to flee. Even so, a human pupa managed to bite his leg, making his retreat look extremely pathetic.
[???]
[What exactly is Ning Su doing? If Jia Chensheng dies, what will happen to the human faction?]
[He probably doesn’t want to sacrifice himself for the whole faction.]
[What’s wrong with all the people from Yinhua? They’re too useless.]
[So annoying. Our guild finally has a chance to level up.]
[Don’t insult our dear Ning Su!]
One of the goals was also to infiltrate the base from behind and kill the human players there.
Upon hearing that it was Jia Chensheng, the president of the Hongyu Guild, both the Human Pupa Master and the Black-clothed Azan chased after him.
Ning Su turned back to look towards the warehouse, where Shi Tianzhu and Xia Ke emerged from behind.
