The situation was extremely urgent; the energy of the Laser Gun had been completely depleted. The boys from the Fourth Group were temporarily held back by Xiao Qiang, while Wen Kai led the other three in a swift retreat.
The previous fire points and the arc light from the Laser Gun had attracted a large number of Living Dead. Now, with only Xiao Qiang left behind, the scattered Living Dead were overwhelming. To Wen Kai and his companions, it felt as if they were surrounded by Living Dead everywhere...
Seeing this scene, the three of them lost their composure. Unconsciously, they began to scatter. As Wen Kai retreated while running, he accidentally stepped into thin air...
Li Hang shouted, trying to draw all the Living Dead attacking Wu Yi towards himself. He felt guilty, believing that everything happening was his fault. In an attempt to atone for his mistakes, he charged recklessly towards the Living Dead.
Rat-tat-tat... Rat-tat-tat... Li Hang occasionally fired his weapon and then ran—“Come on, you filthy bugs! Come and catch your Grandpa Li if you dare!”
The Living Dead were indeed drawn to Li Hang, moving silently with their mechanical, stiff strides as they lunged toward him.
Wu Yi found it strange; there were no more signs of Living Dead behind him. He crouched down and pressed his ear against the ground, listening intently for a moment. It was very quiet. Rising up, he felt confused; he could no longer hear the sound of Living Dead moving across the ground.
Was not hearing them a good thing? Or a bad thing? Or had all the Living Dead been wiped out? Wu Yi chuckled self-deprecatingly and relaxed his tense nerves. He began to whistle casually, preparing to return to the Spaceship House like a victor.
Lin Yu only saw Wu Yi returning alone. A sense of inexplicable loss weighed heavily on her, almost making it hard for her to breathe.
“You're alone?”
“Yeah.”
“What about the others?”
“They should be back soon!” Wu Yi felt as if he had just come down from a battlefield; he was exhausted and felt like his bones were about to fall apart. He responded to Lin Yu's questions with mere perfunctory remarks; after all, since the Living Dead had been completely eliminated, they would naturally return.
The number of Living Dead chasing Li Hang was increasing. He shouted louder and louder until his voice faded away entirely, ultimately resorting to a full sprint...
Xiao Qiang was retreating while trying to stop the Living Dead from closing in behind him. He felt his strength waning, as if he was running out of energy.
The simulated voice of the Laser Gun indicated that he had 30 minutes and 21 seconds of energy left. Gritting his teeth, he held back, wanting to save the last bit of energy for a critical moment.
The Living Dead came in groups, some without their sunglasses, their eye sockets hollow and oozing pus. Yet they stubbornly lunged at Xiao Qiang, one after another.
“Come on! You bastards,” Xiao Qiang spat, halting in his tracks and turning to face the horde of Living Dead. He raised his arm, aiming the Laser Gun directly at them.
He had made up his mind; he couldn’t exhaust all the energy in the Laser Gun at once. He needed to save some for himself. He wouldn’t let these filthy creatures tarnish his body.
Tap tap tap—tap tap tap—under the powerful force of the laser flames, piles of Living Dead caught fire, igniting each other and burning faster.
Xiao Qiang smiled as he raised his hand, pointing the gun at himself…
“Xiao Qiang…” It was Lin Yu’s voice, urgently turning around. Sure enough, it was Lin Yu; she raised her Laser Flame Gun and began firing at the approaching Living Dead, scolding him with a hint of resentment, “You coward! What are you trying to do? Commit suicide? It’s useless.”
With tears in his eyes, Xiao Qiang regained his composure and lifted his arm to coordinate with Lin Yu, focusing on dealing with the Living Dead.
However, their strength was limited. With Li Hang attracting more Living Dead, they all charged toward Xiao Qiang and Lin Yu without a clear target.
He couldn’t let anything happen; he couldn’t… I’m a man. Xiao Qiang thought to himself fiercely as he felt an inexplicable warmth surge from his dantian like blood rushing to his brain. It felt like a massive force was gathering invisibly, ready to explode at any moment.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his entire body, causing the Laser Gun to slip from his grasp. Xiao Qiang felt as if he were about to explode; it was agonizing… “Ahhh!”
Lin Yu stood frozen beside him…
A warm sensation washed over him; something moist slid across his lips. Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Qiang saw Lin Yu’s face filled with fear and concern. Her nostrils flared as she struggled to steady her breathing. “What… what happened?”
Lin Yu's red eyes couldn't hold back the tears, and a glistening droplet slid from the corner of his eye. "You're okay, that's good."
"Oh." He suddenly remembered something and continued to ask, "How are Wen Kai, Wu Yi, and Li Hang?"
"..." Lin Yu remained silent.
Li Hang and Wu Yi leaned in together, saying in unison, "We're fine, thank you."
"Wen Kai, where's Wen Kai?" Xiao Qiang recalled what had happened before but didn't understand why he had fainted. It seemed that Lin Yu and the others were all okay, except for the absence of Wen Kai.
"Amy, Amy..."
Amy rolled closer to the bedside. "Amy reporting."
"Tell me where Wen Kai is."
Amy complied and began a radar search. Two minutes later, she said, "Unable to retrieve information on Wen Kai."
Without needing to state it explicitly, everyone present could guess that Wen Kai must have been affected. Perhaps he had already become an upgraded Living Dead.
"Impossible, that can't be. We need to keep looking..." Xiao Qiang stubbornly tried to remember but felt utterly weak. He forced his eyes open and stared at Lin Yu. "You need to tell me what really happened."
"Nothing happened; you were incredibly brave. You eliminated all the Living Dead..." As she spoke, she lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze.
"Look at me, look into my eyes," Xiao Qiang said loudly, feeling a faint burning sensation in his chest as he strained his voice.
"Xiao Qiang, don't put her in a difficult position. If she doesn't want to say it, there must be a reason," Li Hang advised.
"Yes, Xiao Qiang, when I saw you, there was no Living Dead around, only our goddess. You have to believe me," Wu Yi hurriedly added, unable to sit still.
Xiao Qiang closed his eyes, feeling the burning sensation in his chest intensify with every moment of determination.
"Are you okay?" Lin Yu asked, concerned for Xiao Qiang.
"I'm fine." Xiao Qiang didn't pursue the matter further, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
From then on, Amy took care of Xiao Qiang while the others quickly rested.
He was utterly exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.
While things quieted down here, a fierce debate erupted in that mysterious underground chamber over what had just transpired.
Conflicting opinions filled the room with chaos. Professor R's face turned pale as he refused to hand over detailed information and data about Subject One to Mr. C.
Subject One was Professor R's pride and joy. He felt a weight lift as he shut off the monitors, smugly declaring, "Why should I give it to you? You're still too inexperienced. If you push me too far, we can just part ways."
