Chapter 141 Defection
Taking advantage of the fact that the level nine zombie had not yet broken free of the spatial confinement, Long Yangyang once again unleashed her spatial ability. However, this time it was no longer three huge spatial blades, but transformed into hundreds or thousands of spatial flying knives, which slashed at the zombie's head.
In an instant, the zombie's head was sliced into countless pieces.
Long Yangyang changed her methods, using her mental power to retrieve the exposed zombie crystal core remotely, attempting to store it into her own space.
"Roar—Don't even think about it!" As soon as Long Yangyang's mental energy covered the zombie crystal core, she encountered a powerful pushing force. Just as Long Yangyang was about to fight this force to the death, the fragmented zombie head began to reassemble.
As the zombie head healed back to its original state, Long Yangyang's mental power was blocked by the other party's mental power. Long Yangyang's eyes darkened. The mental power of the level nine zombie was not as strong as hers, but she could not simply take the crystal core out of the other party's mind.
"Stab!"
A sound of shattering glass echoed in Long Yangyang's mind. It was the sound of a level nine zombie breaking free of the spatial confinement. A level eight spatial confinement couldn't even hold a level nine zombie for three minutes.
"Yangyang, watch out behind you!" Yueyao's voice suddenly rang out.
Long Yangyang felt a chill and instinctively leaped to the left. Turning around, she was surprised to see a monster that looked neither human nor human in her original spot.
Its face was still the same as number 3's, but its arms had turned into claws like Wolverine's, and its legs had turned into the legs of a leopard that walks upright.
It was steaming hot, charred black, and covered with cherry-red petals that sizzled. It was filled with purplish-blue lightning, and was filled with high pressure and heat that the human body could not withstand.
Even from ten meters away, Long Yangyang could smell the aroma of meat that smelled like it was being roasted.
Doesn't he feel any pain? He's attacking with electricity all over his body! Is he planning to take me down with him?!
The test subject, or rather, the test subject of a half-human, half-beast superhuman.
Long Yangyang thought about how fast the other party had been, and realized that it was no less than her own speed as a spatial ability user. If she hadn't sensed the spatial fluctuations, she might have been killed by the other party's claw that ripped out her heart.
"Xiao Fei, does he also have teleportation or spatial abilities?"
"No, the other party is just an air-generating ability user."
So the opponent's animal modification wasn't just for show. Long Yangyang wiped the sweat from her head caused by the strenuous exercise and dodged the air ability user's attack at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
When Subject 3 attacked, Long Yangyang used her spatial abilities to dodge. The two exchanged blows, neither able to gain the upper hand.
"Yangyang, be careful. Your stamina is no match for the cyborgs. It's best to finish this quickly," Xiaofei warned, noticing that Long Yangyang's heartbeat was too rapid.
Long Yangyang nodded, her gaze falling on the mermaid gauze that had been torn by Experiment 3. The mermaid gauze provided by Shi Qing had not been torn by the level nine zombies they had encountered before.
However, it broke on the test subject, and it's unknown what its claws were made of.
Long Yangyang looked at the seemingly unaffected test subject. Doesn't this person get tired? His supernatural attack has been fighting for so long, and there's no sign of it weakening at all.
This is abnormal. Aren't all the superhumans in the research institute induced by drugs? A level nine superhuman can only exert the strength of a level eight superhuman at most. She is a dual-element superhuman, and her superhuman reserves are much higher than those of a single-element superhuman. There's something strange about this person.
“Yangyang, this cyborg uses far less power in each attack than you, achieving the most efficient attack with the least amount of energy. He has a very strong combat awareness.”
Before the apocalypse, he was probably either a special forces soldier like Fu Muyu or a mercenary skilled in combat. In a protracted war, Long Yangyang probably wouldn't be a match for someone like that.
“Yangyang, the crystal core is hard to extract. Why don’t you try taking out the puppet worm from the other person’s mind?” Xiao Fei said. Humans are very complex beings.
Some people are afraid of death and will do anything to survive, while others would rather break than bend, preferring to be shattered jade than intact tile. I just don't know what kind of person this is.
"Insects?" Upon hearing this, Long Yangyang felt goosebumps rise all over her body. She disliked insects and didn't want to touch such creatures. "I refuse."
She'd rather keep at it with this test subject and find a way to kill it than touch the insects—they were disgusting, especially since the insects had that soft, possibly sticky, kind of brain.
"Yangyang, aren't you worried about saving your second brother? If you use your spatial ability to cover your hands, you won't actually touch the puppet worm."
While having a private conversation with Xiao Fei in her mind, Long Yangyang was also defending against the attacks of Experiment No. 3. The air ability was hard to defend against, especially since Experiment No. 3's attack angles were very tricky.
Long Yangyang is still able to jump around and be lively, thanks to the fact that she had Xiao Fei put a level 10 spatial shield on her from the very beginning.
The air inside the space shield is uncontrollable for Experiment Subject No. 3, thus preventing surprise attacks.
"The oxygen inside the space shield is limited, and it can only last for a maximum of 5 minutes."
An unkillable zombie and a troublesome superhuman. Long Yangyang glanced at the weak Yueyao. She didn't know how long Yueyao had been imprisoned, and her condition was even worse than Long Ye's group.
While there's no guarantee the other side will side with them after removing the puppet worms, as long as it doesn't hinder their actions, it's fine.
Long Yangyang subconsciously bit her lower lip. Don't be afraid, just treat it like grabbing a cake with your hands. Long Yangyang kept reassuring herself. Then, with Xiao Fei's help, she approached Experiment Subject No. 3.
After Xiao Fei imprisoned Subject No. 3, Long Yangyang used her mental power to probe into the subject's mind, locate the puppet worm, and with a grab of her right hand, a fist-sized, white, jelly-like object, resembling a silkworm cocoon, appeared in Long Yangyang's hand.
Even without direct physical contact, and despite the fact that the other party's appearance was not as ugly as an insect, Long Yangyang's stomach still churned uncontrollably. The invisible spatial cutting instantly killed the insect.
“Yangyang, it’s a special crystal core, a mental type, and it’s already at level eight. No wonder it can control level nine ability users,” Xiaofei said.
Level 8? Long Yangyang's face didn't show the joy of receiving a special type crystal core; instead, she looked utterly dejected, her mind filled with thoughts of: she was tainted. (╥╯^╰╥)
At this moment, she felt extremely regretful, wondering why she wasn't a water-based ability user.
So disgusting, so uncomfortable, ugh~
The third test subject stopped attacking the moment the puppet worm was taken out and stood there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
The next second, the opponent rushed into the battlefield between Yaoyao and the level nine zombie, launching a frenzied attack on the level nine zombie. Its claws, sharp as blades, mercilessly slashed through the level nine zombie's skin, adding another slash before the opponent's healing ability could heal it.
Without even using any special abilities, he slashed at the zombies as if venting his anger.
Xiao Fei looked at her master, who seemed to have lost all will to live, and then at the crazed Subject No. 3, who, after being slowly sliced into pieces by the level nine zombie, dug out the subject's crystal core.
Xiao Fei: My master is unreliable; in the end, I have to bear all the consequences.
