Like all unexpected troubles, bad news always comes suddenly.

For instance, locking the door then realizing you didn't bring your keys or turn off the gas, finding half a cockroach in your plate after finishing a meal, waking up to find your pet has been sick by your bed while you dreamed of eating chocolate...

Sometimes, a teammate suddenly decides to pull a crazy stunt and blows himself up, leaving you feeling pretty helpless.

In extremely speechless situations, one finds themselves unable to speak.

However, this time was different; it might have been that he could never speak again in his lifetime.

Just as Kong Yebai had picked up the walkie-talkie crying out that something terrible had happened to the Main Priest, everyone heard a faint ticking sound amid their rapid breathing and pounding hearts...

It was coming from inside his heaving chest.

When his confused teammate instinctively reached out and pulled open his collar, they saw a dark seam that not even Kong Yebai had noticed.

In that instant, the person at the front couldn't help but exclaim,

"You son of a—"

Boom!!!

Just like that, with the last half of a curse, his eyes closed forever.

Flames and shockwaves spread, a mass of pulverized explosive materials and Mutant Poison engulfed everything like a tsunami. Crimson waves danced wildly, sweeping over every inch of space.

Hot blood rained down like fireworks intermittently, gathering in this brutally hot wave. With the roar of explosions, limbs flew towards the ceiling, out of windows, or over collapsed walls, scattering in the corridors.

Countless unfortunate patients were instantly crushed to dust, and more hungry patients swarmed in, frantically gorging, licking, and shrieking with excitement.

Amid the rolling smoke came heart-wrenching screams.

In a corner, several writhing figures wailed, struggling to crawl out of the fire.

The hasty nitroglycerin explosion was no match for Lu Feng's Flame Element Explosives from the past. The Chosen One's resilience was also beyond normal, as even such a horrifying explosion couldn't take their breath away completely.

A crowd, a White Deer, and Ruins—all known for their resilience. But now, suddenly subjected to such torment, nearly all their breath was gone.

To make matters worse, amidst the shattered walls outside, eerie laughter and crying could be heard. A Ghost Fetus, crawling on the walls like a wild dog, peeked out, hunger visible as it opened its mouth wide.

After voraciously inhaling copious amounts of flesh and residual spirits, it turned and fixed its gaze on a severely wounded Chosen One, leaping forward with its maw wide open.

"Ah, help... save... save me... save me!!!"

During his tragic screams, he rolled on the ground. His teammates, not severely injured, ignored him as if deaf, scrambling outside using hands and feet, even disregarding the increasingly frantic questions coming from the walkie-talkie in the corner.

Unfortunately, after passing through the thick smoke, the first thing they saw was a face pale as a ghost.

Amid the shifting flesh, a new face formed.

A smile appeared.

Reaching out to the survivors, lightly, just a touch.

"Sleep well, have a good rest," Xie Lan's voice was gentle, "When you wake up, everything will be over."

Particles as fine as dust, barely visible, drifted into his nostrils. Immediately after, the Living Poison Gu, a combination of poison and curses, took root in the spiritual essence rapidly spreading.

In an instant, the two survivors turned into stiff living corpses, standing by his side.

Material+2

"Hey, you act fast. Isn't that a bit extreme?"

Xie Lan slowly rose, hands in the pockets of his white coat, glancing at the office's dreadful state and clicking his tongue, "Was hoping to see a fierce battle..."

He curiously asked, "Since when has the Security Bureau gone this crazy?"

"Talking bad about others behind their backs isn't a good habit."

Behind him, Ji Jue strolled in from the corridor, reminding: "Especially when you're stealing someone else's spoils, that's even worse."

"Who's stealing?" Xie Lan immediately glared, aggrieved, "I did put in some effort; you can't give me nothing, right?"

"Fine, biological material for you, spiritual essence for me," Ji Jue agreed promptly, as if he had anticipated this.

Xie Lan shook his head immediately, "What do I need so many living corpses for? A few samples are enough. You're taking all the valuable stuff, aren't you a bit too stingy?!"

Ji Jue was unfazed by his bluff, amiable as ever: "The other way around works for me too, I don't mind."

Since neither could be completely satisfied, let both be dissatisfied.

Ji Jue took the limbs and empty bodies, which could still be recycled for other uses, worst case scenario, they'd be used to cultivate more Mutant Poison for bombs.

But Xie Lan had a Vortex System, what use did he have for so much spiritual essence?

He didn't even have a Spiritual Cage.

"Ts..."

Regretfully shaking his head and realizing time was running short, Xie Lan could only sigh: "Fine, let's do it your way."

After quickly agreeing, they dropped their guard against each other; a swarm of living corpses hurriedly cleaned up the area.

As Xie Lan watched a bloated living corpse swallow the last piece of limb, Ji Jue's Spiritual Cage on his waist was almost bursting, the skull's eyes blazing red.

The Dissociation Technique's Matrix allowed Mechanical Descent to finally have its fill.

This skilled spiritual operation and the plucking method reminiscent of geese plucking intrigued Xie Lan. If it wasn't for their compatible interests in resources between the two systems, he might have considered the thought 'this man cannot be spared.'
