Chapter 18

"Done, all arranged."

In the afternoon, Lu Feng, who had disappeared for a whole day, finally returned with a cheeky smile; while Ji Jue was washing his hands, not paying attention, he lay on Ji Jue’s hospital bed and started picking his feet, without any ceremony.

"Mom took Er Niu and the others back to the village for a few days. The repair shop is closed for now, and will be reopened after the matter is resolved.

I’ve also been to your house, the door is fixed for you, but the refrigerator is completely totaled; later you move the one from the shop back to make do for now.

And the little scooter is parked in the hospital shed for you; you can pick it up yourself when you are discharged."

Saying this, he took out the car keys from his pocket and put them on the table.

Using those two fingers that were just picking his feet...

Ji Jue’s eyes twitched, wanting to say something but stopping: I don't want this key anymore, can you change it for a new one?

But thinking that his pink little scooter was N-hand, girl-used, ninety-nine percent new, which Lu Feng sold to him half-sold after changing to a tricycle, who knows how many times he had picked his feet on the seat...

Is it too late to list it on the seafood market now?

After the usual disgust, he still shared half an apple with Lu Feng, watching him eat it in two bites without washing his hands, Ji Jue couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his digestive system tempered by the Middle Earth.

But the physique is different after all.

Besides being electrocuted, Ji Jue only crawled twice, didn't even have many bruises on his body, but until now he could only shuffle when walking. Instead, this dog Lu Feng, who fought close-quarters with those ghosts and even got shot in the end, had countless big and small injuries, but after sleeping, he could jump and bounce.

"Envious, stinky little brother?"

Lu Feng showed off his biceps, grinning: "I urged you to exercise early, you didn't, running a kilometer makes you check out, now you know regret?"

Ji Jue rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Watching Lu Feng jump and bounce, saying he wasn't envious would be a lie, but he was more concerned about whether Brother Watch had any changes; unfortunately, yes, and only a little.

Besides draining aberrant spiritual quality to his heart’s content, the progress bar was drained back to 99, and the number [0] covered by gold on the dial finally had a change.

If the original degree of coverage was eighty percent, now it was almost ninety-nine percent, with only a tiny bit not covered.

It’s just a pity that it still didn't complete the great breakthrough from 0 to 1.

Stuck on the progress bar.

No matter how anxious Ji Jue was, it didn't move at all, leaving that tiny section unfilled, making his obsessive-compulsive disorder flare up, wanting to dismantle the watch cover and fill it in himself.

He could only burn incense and kowtow in his heart, hoping Brother Watch didn't pick up some bad habits from certain shopping websites before the Cataclysm Era, with 99 after 99, remote and endless.

Otherwise, he was afraid he would only be a 0 in this life.

"Also, this is for you, take it first."

Lu Feng took out something wrapped in two layers of black plastic bags from the cloth pocket beside him; when Ji Jue identified the outline of that thing, he couldn't help but gasp.

A gun!

His face turned white with fright.

"Big brother, this is a hospital, what do I need this for?!"

He asked in a low voice, reacting halfway, staring vigilantly at Lu Feng: "Why are you suddenly exploding equipment? You wouldn't be drafted by the Security Bureau, right?"

"Am I crazy? Finally crawled out of the Military Department’s mud pit, and you want me to drill into the Security Bureau’s hole? Without the Military Department’s conscription letter, you want to move my personnel relationship in the Federation, keep dreaming."

Lu Feng waved his hand, covering up his embarrassment: "I’m going out to avoid the limelight, hiding for a while... If a woman with a scar on her neck comes to ask about me in these two days, you must not say anything!"

"What did you do again?" Ji Jue stared suspiciously.

"You think getting so many things doesn't cost money?"

Lu Feng rolled his eyes, saying in a low voice: "The cheapest pistol costs 28,000 with twelve bullets, plus middlemen adding layers of price.

Damn, for just this little bit of stuff, I lied and coaxed, almost sold my ass. If I don't run fast, I’ll have to sell my essence to pay off the debt, and be caught by people to be a star slave!"

Ji Jue was silent.

Looking at him straight for a long time, he finally patted his shoulder, comforting: "Brother Feng, don't think too much, people who work as ducks also need education and looks."

Ji-surname, you fucking...

A knife went down coldly, Lu Feng was broken.

"If you need education and looks, then you go! Anyway, it’s all for this family!"

Lu Feng said halfway, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Right, why didn't he think of that?

"Look at the bitter dramas, aren't they all played like this?"

Lu Feng persuaded earnestly: "Big brother owes a debt of gambling outside, parents are sick, younger brother and sister have no money for school, Er Niu finally got into Tianmen, as a big brother, don't you know how to express it? Computer and phone must be bought for her, right?

Boys reading books is useless, as long as you loosen your belt, the family will have everything!"

"Get out, get out, get out!"

Ji Jue was no longer unhappy, kicking him off his bed. Watching Lu Feng walk away swaying, his originally tense mood relaxed a little.

Watching him still able to joke, things didn't seem that big, at least not that big. Day after day, comrades, heh, I’m afraid it’s the kind of comrades who often exchange techniques in the artillery camp!

"The brothers have a really good relationship."

On the bed next to him, the thin old man with a cast on his leg sighed, muttering: "Hey, that brother of mine... hasn't been in touch for many years. The two boys in the family also don't get along, fighting every day."

"Oh, children, always naughty, they will be sensible when they grow up."

The aunt on the other bed comforted: "Aren't my second and third children the same? After growing up, knowing life is hard, they know that their own family is reliable. I went to see them two days ago, and their relationship is so good they sleep in the same quilt. The eldest occasionally goes to live with them too."

The old man sighed: "Family harmony brings prosperity, old sister has blessings."

Only Ji Jue, who was dumbfounded beside him, wanted to say something but stopped, stopped and wanted to say something.

In the end, he didn't dare to speak.

He lay on the bed, dreaming of the dream from zero to one, and gradually fell asleep.

Outside the window, dusk was approaching, at twilight.

A loud explosion came from the distant wind.

A thick smoke slowly rose from the foothills on the other side of Yacheng.

"What’s going on?"

In the violently shaking office, smoke was swirling; in the courtyard outside the window, employees were screaming and shrieking, turning into non-human monsters, attacking the intruders.

Only in the CEO’s office, which had just changed its new nameplate, was it dead silent.

The old man hiding behind the window was dumbfounded.

Dialing the phone in his hand frantically, once, again, finally connecting through the busy signal, he couldn't suppress his anger: "What’s going on? Lawrence, what on earth are you doing?!"

Lu Wending was about to faint, trembling in horror: "Didn't you say it was foolproof?!"

"The experiment is indeed foolproof."

On the other end of the phone, a calm and gentle voice replied: "Please rest assured, your sacrifice will not be in vain."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Wending fell into an ice cellar, screaming: "Don't forget, who pulled you out of the mud pit, if it weren't for me..."

"Sixteen patents that are enough for long-term profitability and make your company’s valuation flip several times, isn't that enough?"

Lawrence laughed: "Besides, I have already exhausted all my strength to produce ten standard longevity drugs, zero-side-effect alienation mitigators, to help you rise to the top.

As for the slight trouble brought about by this, it is just an inevitable side effect; as a pharmaceutical CEO, do you never read the instruction manual?

The contract between us has ended, Mr. Lu, thank you for your support and contribution all along; in future papers, I will give you great thanks.

This is a great achievement engraved in medical history!"

"Achievement your mother’s fucking ass!"

In the approaching loud noise, Lu Wending roared, shouting at the phone: "Don't forget, without me, who would help you find qualified test subjects. For such a long time, you only raised so many waste products, and the only one that was considered a result, that bitch, also died.

Wait a moment, I can still..."

Bang!

Before the words fell, a crisp sound rang out.

A golden chain appeared in mid-air, and then, disintegrated.

The Covenant of Heaven, broken here.

"Now, please make the final sacrifice for our common great cause."

In that instant, Lu Wending froze in place, breathing violently, couldn't help but vomit blood, scarlet spreading from the corners of his mouth, veins popping, hands growing rapidly, turning into sharp claws.

Then, another twisted head grew from his shoulder.

Body swelling, swelling again!

In just a few snaps of the fingers, it had already broken through the shackles of the wall, rolling out like flesh, and in the eyes covering his body, despair dissipated, leaving only beastly hunger and madness.

In the dust falling down, in the ruins, the voice on the phone still came.

"By the way, forgot to tell you, please don't worry, the experiment will inevitably have results."

Lawrence smiled, full of joy: "I have already found a better [Fetus], no, should say—the real, disaster [Vessel]!"

But Lu Wending could no longer hear it.

The alienated ghoul weighing tens of tons was like a mountain, limbs and arms extending from its body, a giant mouth that seemed to run through its body opened in the center, spitting out poison and acid.

Just twisting its body was enough to cast a huge shadow.

Slowly turning its head, looking at the intruder who didn't belong here, opening its mouth, and lunging out!

Then, it flew back the same way, smashed into the factory building, fell into the production workshop, and was nailed to the ground by a crystal giant pillar that appeared out of thin air.

Wen Wen didn't even pay attention to what the thing she smashed out casually was.

At this moment, amidst the siege of many ghouls, she frowned, listening to the phone that had just connected, becoming more and more irritable: "Can you speak human language?"

Sacrificing a new book, the author and I are the same, both newcomers, but I didn't expect to be like old friends at first sight, talking happily. His lewd, wavey, and obscene appearance is just like an old friend of mine. I hope that after sacrificing him, I won't be stuck in writing...

If you like a relaxed and happy style, you might as well go and see. Of course, leave the monthly tickets to someone like me who is graceful, reliable, and trustworthy!
