(Outskirts of Heurn Province)
(Hidden Location- Secret Military Base)
Power always ca at a price…
Subject 001 kneeled over and vomited as he felt another burst of pain flow through his body. His skin was incredibly pale and clammy.
Sweat ran down his brow as he tried his best not to collapse on the ground. The hunger… it was making him go insane.
(Kill her… Kill her… kill her now!)
(She's mine… she's mine… Liu Yifei is mine…)
(Kill Qin Lan… my sister… SHE BETRAYED !)
"Shut the fuck up!" Subject 001 roared in fury as he slamd his head against the wall and a large crack appeared.
Qin Wei's mind was proving to be more of a hindrance than he initially anticipated.
The human whose body he had stolen had been completely assimilated but therein lied the problem.
Subject 001's thoughts and desires had now been tainted by Qin Wei's dark desires and it was driving him mad.
Qin Wei's hatred for his sister went far beyond Subject 001's desire to kill Eve. The young teenage boy gritted his teeth in agony as black blood leaked out of the corner of his eyes.
"Get it together… get it together… get it together…" Subject 001 chanted over and over again as he tried desperately to drown out the voices in his head.
Ti slowly passed and eventually he was able to recover from his injured state. Subject 001 staggered over to a nearby bed and flopped down on the mattress.
He stretched out one of his palms and pointed it at a nearby wall. A bluish portal appeared which led to an unknown location.
Subject 001 coughed violently, and the edges of the portal trembled slightly as if it were about to collapse.
On the other side of the portal one could see a handso muscular man with scars all over his body.
The man was currently fighting off a zombie horde and lightning crackled between his fingertips.
Wu Jing had gotten even stronger over the last couple of weeks. He was improving at a much faster rate than what Subject 001 had initially anticipated.
Boom!
Thick bolts of lightning erupted from the forr soldier's fingertips and reduced most of the incoming zombies to ash.
Their blackened bodies fell to the ground, and one could see purplish-black crystals in the middle of their burnt skulls.
Wu Jing finished off the remaining foes with ease and then spared a glance at the bluish portal that had suddenly appeared behind him.
He walked towards it without hesitation and did not even spare a glance at the crystals on the ground.
He could always get more…
Wu Jing was confident in his ability and his strength… in fact it bordered on arrogance.
The forr soldier stepped through the portal and appeared in the d bay of the secret military base.
"I see that you've been recovering nicely after the run in with that mutated zombie at the school…" Subject 001 whispered in a mocking tone.
There was a faint jealousy in his voice that neither he nor Wu Jing noticed. It was due to the influence of Qin Wei who could not stand seeing others more powerful than him.
"Yes… my body has completely recovered thanks to the healing serums that you found in this place," Wu Jing replied bluntly.
"I thought that I was a dead before you opened the portal and pulled out…"
"Don't you forget it… you owe your life," Subject 001 whispered softly.
Wu Jing's eyes darkened as he heard the teenage boy's words but didn't say anything.
The forr soldier reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette and a lighter. He flicked the small silver box and a fla appeared.
Wu Jing lit the cigarette and inhaled a heavy mouthful of smoke before gently exhaling. The foul scent of tobacco lingered in the room.
There was a long mont of silence in the room as neither one of them spoke.
Wu Jing stared at the youthful teenager with nurous thoughts running through his mind.
As he got more powerful… was there any need to listen to such an insane child? Wu Jing was grateful that Subject 001 had save him but…
He hated being ordered around.
Wu Jing had always been a leader and yet he was nothing more than an obedient dog in the eyes of the teenager in front of him.
Wu Jing lowered his head as he tried his best to conceal what he was really thinking. He needed the boy… at least for now.
As long as he collected enough crystals and accomplished his goal of killing the monster that slaughtered his squad…
This young teenager would die by his hand.
"Take so rest and I'll send you to another location tomorrow," Subject 001 suddenly spoke as he gestured for Wu Jing to leave the room.
The forr soldier nodded respectfully and then put out the cigarette by squashing its burning tip using his fingers.
There was no trace of pain on Wu Jing's scarred face even as the flesh on his fingers blackened.
The healing serum that Subject 001 had injected into his body had changed him in ways that no one could have foreseen.
He left the d bay and headed for one of the empty barracks that had not been destroyed when Eve broke out of her containnt chamber.
Subject 001 waited until the sounds of footsteps had faded away into the distance and then hurriedly reached for the stash of crystals hidden under his bed.
He opened his mouth and tossed in one after the other. Instead of pain, Subject 001 groaned in pleasure as he felt the voices in his mind gradually be silenced.
He possessed two abilities but could not use either without suffering a massive backlash which required crystals to heal.
The first was the ability to establish a portal that connected two separate spatial locations while the second was the ability to sense nearby mutated zombies.
The second ability was what he used to track down Subject 014 or what she called herself… 'Eve'.
Unfortunately, this ability could not be used often without suffering from side effects which is why he was forced to wait weeks before searching for his greatest enemy.
Actually… hmm… maybe he shouldn't use it anyti soon…
Subject 001 thought for a bit and realised that by using his ability he was putting his enemy on guard for his next move.
Rather than regularly attacking or spying every few weeks, it would make more sense to activate his ability at seemingly random intervals.
That way Subject 014 would not realise the weakness of his ability!
