Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Brother Zhan Spare Me

[System, quickly provide me with Equivalence Healing, the spot where Space Cutting hurt is killing me.]

System: [Alrighty.]

Long before Guo Dacheng’s syringe pierced her skin, Ji Wanwan had already made her calculations.

She used a Space Barrier to encircle the small patch of flesh Guo Dacheng injected, preventing the injection fluid from entering her bloodstream. As soon as they left, she threw the small chunk of flesh containing the injection fluid into the System Space.

Even though the injection fluid didn’t cause her any substantial harm, the place where the Space Barrier cut her was truly painful.

So her screams were genuine, and her wailing was real.

There were no instruments here, and the liquid Guo Dacheng had injected into her could only be analyzed for its specific components once they returned to the base.

Fortunately, with the aid of Equivalence Healing, the wound healed quickly and didn’t cause her much pain.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion in the two guards watching her, Ji Wanwan simply laid on the ground, playing dead.

Of course, if only the ground were a bit cleaner, she could have taken a nice sleep right there.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when her room door rattled open and in came Guo Dacheng, with Lin Changhe, whose wounds had mostly healed, following behind.

Upon entering and seeing Ji Wanwan curled up on the ground, Lin Changhe’s eyes narrowed: "Dead??"

Ji Wanwan sat up, leaning lazily against the cage: "Even if you were dead, I wouldn’t be."

Lin Changhe: "..."

Seeing Lin Changhe gasping with irritation, Guo Dacheng gave him a warning glance.

Lin Changhe was furious but restrained himself from acting out due to the restrictions, his face turning a beet red.

Guo Dacheng ignored him and turned his gaze back to Ji Wanwan in the cage.

The most obvious sign of mutation in Half-infected is in their eyes, which all carry a faint tinge of crimson. Lin Changhe had it, too, so to cover it up, he wore a pair of specially made glasses every day.

This was also why he appeared so refined and cultivated.

Yet Ji Wanwan’s eyes inside the cage still maintained the normal black that humans have.

Guo Dacheng’s pupils jolted, somewhat incredulous.

How could this be?

Could Ji Wanwan be immune to the zombie virus?

Thinking about what the warden had said to him before coming here, Guo Dacheng, without a second word, immediately took another syringe from the ice box.

Ji Wanwan: "?"

No way, again?

I don’t want to pretend anymore!

Wondering how far Old Xu had gotten by now.

Just as the needle was about to pierce her, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the door.

Guo Dacheng, holding the needle, was startled.

Lin Changhe, who had been holding back his anger, saw an opportunity and couldn’t wait to rush out.

Guo Dacheng looked away, ready to continue, but before he could act, a commotion came from behind him.

He hesitated, turned around, and saw Lin Changhe flying past the doorway.

Right, flying through the air.

Guo Dacheng: "?"

After a moment’s hesitation, he then saw his underlings running around in panic. Guo Dacheng’s brow furrowed deeply, and he immediately moved toward the door.

"Boom!"

Just stepping out of the room, he saw one of his underlings being punched and sent flying accurately into the zombie pit. Amidst heartrending screams, the underling was torn to shreds.

Guo Dacheng: "?"

A gust approached quickly from the side. With instinct, Guo Dacheng sidestepped just in time to dodge a fist that had reached close to his face.

Standing firm to see who had struck, he was shocked to find that it was Zhan Yu.

Guo Dacheng’s pupils shock once again.

If he remembered correctly, Zhan Yu was also captured yesterday, right?

Both being Half-infected, why had Zhan Yu adapted to the virus so quickly, with such strong explosive power?

Yes, Zhan Yu is a superpower awakener!

Could it be that superpower awakeners have a higher adaptability to the virus?

It seems we’ll have to capture a group of superpower awakeners for experiments!

But there are too few superpower users, and most of them are pretty arrogant—hard to deceive!

I need to think of a plan!

In the blink of an eye, Guo Dacheng thought of many things.

The next second, Zhan Yu threw a punch at Guo Dacheng’s face, interrupting all his thoughts.

Ji Wanwan, who was inside the cage, was also startled when she saw what was happening outside.

After Guo Dacheng was sent flying, Zhan Yu looked inside the room.

His eyes, slightly red, narrowed when they met Ji Wanwan’s, and he then stepped inside.

Ji Wanwan felt a lump in her throat.

What’s the situation?

Was he also going to send her flying with a punch?

But no matter, she was inside a cage, so the problem wasn’t too big.

Zhan Yu stopped in front of Ji Wanwan and inspected her carefully, "Where’s Xu Siming?"

From his tone, it seemed Zhan Yu still retained his humanity.

"Um..." Ji Wanwan didn’t know how to answer Zhan Yu, so she gave a vague response, "He’s probably not in the refuge anymore."

Zhan Yu asked again, "They didn’t inject you with the virus?"

At this, Ji Wanwan became angry, "Of course they did! They were about to give me a second shot just now! But then you suddenly emerged and interrupted them!"

Zhan Yu’s lips twitched, "Heh, so you should thank me, right?"

Ji Wanwan, "It’s not entirely out of the question."

Zhan Yu, "..."

After an odd moment of silence, Zhan Yu raised his hand, intending to break the lock of the cage with brute force.

But as soon as he touched the lock, Zhan Yu shuddered unbelievably and turned back to look behind him.

There stood Guo Dacheng, with blood at the corner of his mouth, holding a syringe, and warily staring at Zhan Yu.

It was the syringe they were about to use on Ji Wanwan just moments before.

Well, at least it found a use.

Zhan Yu, who had been injected, touched his neck, and the next second, his eyes turned completely blood-red, his pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he let out a ferocious roar before turning and throwing a punch at Guo Dacheng’s head.

"Boom!"

Guo Dacheng reacted quickly and raised his hand to block, but he was still sent flying by the force, crashing heavily into the wall. His arm visibly caved in, and the fragile wall collapsed entirely, causing the entire Corpse Refining Factory to shake.

Dust and debris fell noisily, suffocating Ji Wanwan to the point she dared not take deep breaths.

Lin Changhe, trying to catch up after being sent flying, saw this and his calves gave in. He knelt down with a thud, lifting his hands above his head in prayer, "Brother Zhan, spare my life!!"

Ji Wanwan, "...Pff!"

Zhan Yu turned back with his blood-red eyes and stared fixedly at Lin Changhe without blinking.

The latter was sweating profusely, and just when he thought he was done for, Zhan Yu collapsed without warning.

Ji Wanwan, "?"

Lin Changhe, "?"

After waiting for perhaps a minute to make sure Zhan Yu had indeed passed out, Lin Changhe took a long breath and scrambled up again.

He first glowered at Ji Wanwan and made a throat-slashing gesture, then limped over to the struggling Guo Dacheng on the ground.

Ji Wanwan was amused by this gesture and raised her middle finger.

With this interruption, the second injection was not administered, and Lin Changhe left the Corpse Refining Factory with Guo Dacheng, not leaving any instructions before departing.

Their men were either dead or injured, and the rest were too afraid to enter the room, even with Zhan Yu lying on the ground, his condition unknown.

Ji Wanwan sat bored on the ground, continuing to wait for news from Xu Siming’s side.

Suddenly, Ji Wanwan felt that Zhan Yu on the floor moved a bit...
