Chapter 217
He looked at Ling Jing as if admiring a piece of art.0
Beside the hospital bed, there was a lean man.0
His hand bore a snake-shaped tattoo.0
At the mont, he was chained to the wall, unable to move.0
"You told that if the information I provided was correct, you would let go. Now that you've brought him back, isn't it ti to set free?"0
As soon as the man spoke, Xiu Jie looked up and chuckled lightly.0
"Let you go? Do you think I'm that easy to deal with?"0
"You want to go back on your word?!" The man furrowed his brows.0
Xiu Jie shrugged, his tone dismissive.0
"So what if I do? What can you do to ?"0
The man's chest heaved with anger. "You damn..."0
His words cut off abruptly, and his movents froze.0
Then, his eyes began to lose focus.0
When his head drooped, Xiu Jie let out a disdainful snort and turned back to Ling Jing.0
He fetched a glass of transparent liquid, pried open Ling Jing's mouth, and fed it to him.0
In no ti, Ling Jing, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.0
However, his gaze was unfocused, blank.0
Xiu Jie gave Ling Jing a satisfied look, then walked over to the man chained to the wall and unlocked the chains binding him.0
He then led the man to Ling Jing's bedside.0
Grabbing the man's arm, Xiu Jie rolled up his sleeve and placed it near Ling Jing's mouth.0
"Go on, take a bite. Let see if it really can cause mutation."0
Xiu Jie's eyes glead with excitent, tinged with a hint of obsessive madness.0
But Ling Jing just lay there, motionless.0
Not even glancing at him.0
Just as Xiu Jie thought Ling Jing wouldn't cooperate and was about to use ntal attacks to force him, Ling Jing tilted his head and glanced at the man's arm before taking a bite.0
"Ahhh!"0
The man, who had been numbed by Xiu Jie's control, was instantly awakened by the pain.0
He struggled to pull his arm away, but Ling Jing held on tightly.0
In the end, due to the excessive force, a whole chunk of flesh was ripped off the man's arm.0
He clutched his arm and cried out in pain.0
He felt the agony piercing his soul.0
At that mont, he regretted it deeply!0
He regretted telling this deranged doctor about Ling Jing being a zombie who maintained a human appearance!0
Yes, he was the one who, by chance, witnessed Ling Jing biting soone at the rice factory and had been spared by Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.0
Later, he went to Yun City Base but was turned away at the gate.0
They said they had to wait for the base leader to return to determine if he could enter.0
While waiting, he happened to see Ling Jing entering Yun City Base.0
He also caught a glimpse of people from the rice factory inside the base.0
Worried about being recognized, he quietly slipped away.0
After wandering for a while, he accidentally arrived at this small town.0
But he was captured by this deranged doctor's subordinates.0
He was shocked to discover that the doctor was researching zombies!0
Moreover, he wanted to use him as a human test subject, injecting serum extracted from mutant zombies' brains into his body!0
It was utterly insane!0
Would he even survive the injection?0
He was terrified.0
In a desperate move, he imdiately thought of Ling Jing.0
If the doctor was so obsessed with studying zombies, he would surely be interested in Ling Jing.0
So, he struck a deal with the doctor, offering information about Ling Jing.0
But the doctor broke his promise!0
As he felt changes rising within him, the man felt both furious and helpless.0
Soon, his pupils began to dilate.0
His irises shrank, and the whites of his eyes beca more prominent.0
"Roar!"0
In no ti, he had completely transford into a mindless zombie.0
He let out a roar and lunged at Xiu Jie.0
Xiu Jie stood still, his gaze fixed on the zombie.0
Just as the man was about to reach Xiu Jie, he suddenly stopped.0
Though his mouth twitched and he let out low, guttural sounds, he didn't take another step forward.0
It was as if he had been instantly frozen.0
Xiu Jie smiled in satisfaction.0
"It really works."0
He walked to the door and pressed a button.0
Soon, soone arrived at the door.0
He pushed the transford zombie toward him.0
He ordered, "Take him out."0
"Yes!"0
After the person left, Xiu Jie closed the door again and walked toward the hospital bed.0
But before he could get close, there was another knock on the door.0
He frowned, annoyed, and opened the door.0
"What is it?"0
"Doctor Xiu, soone has broken in!"0
"Deal with them! Get out of here and stop bothering !"0
Xiu Jie said with an irritated expression.0
Afterward, he slamd the door shut.0
How annoying, even such a small matter had to disturb him.0
It was delaying his research!0
He frowned and walked back, approaching the hospital bed. He picked up a syringe, squeezed out so liquid, and pressed on Ling Jing's right wrist, ready to inject.0
But just as the needle was about to pierce Ling Jing's skin, a sharp pain struck his head.0
He quickly focused his ntal energy to resist.0
Then, he looked surprisedly at Ling Jing on the bed.0
"You…!"0
The previously blank-eyed Ling Jing now had clear, alert eyes.0
His captivating blue eyes sparkled with a mix of mischief, allure, and ruthlessness.0
He gripped the chains binding his body and pulled hard.0
"Bang!"0
The chains snapped!0
He slowly rose and walked toward Xiu Jie.0
Then, he grabbed Xiu Jie's neck with one hand and lifted him off the ground.0
"What, you still want to inject ? Didn't anyone tell you I hate needles the most in this life?"0
Ling Jing gave Xiu Jie a wicked look, tightening his grip.0
Xiu Jie's face turned a deep shade of purple, struggling to breathe.0
Although Xiu Jie had so skills and had even researched zombie cores, extracting a crude evolution serum, when it ca to actual strength, ten of him wouldn't be enough to take on Ling Jing.0
Ling Jing's physique was unique, and he couldn't be judged by conventional standards of ability.0
Moreover, he was also a psychic.0
So Xiu Jie's proud abilities were nothing in Ling Jing's eyes.0
Xiu Jie's eyes widened with reluctance.0
Why hadn't anyone told him that the person in front of him was also a powerful psychic?!0
"Let... let go, and I can... help you return... to normal."0
Xiu Jie managed to squeeze the words out of his throat.0
Seeing Ling Jing's eyes flicker, he thought he was on the right track.0
He quickly continued, "Although you still maintain a human appearance and... sanity, the zombie virus in your body is... spreading more and more.0
The occasional episodes where you lose control and beco... disoriented are likely... signs of the virus worsening.0
Let go, and I promise I will... find a way to remove the remaining virus from your body, allowing you to... return to being a normal human!"0
Xiu Jie spoke haltingly.0
Beneath his desperation, a hint of cunning lurked.0
