Chapter 163: Meeting Too Late

Very regrettable.

The "coolness" didn't come out.

When Ji Jue just counted to 4, the screams came from the end of the corridor.

Anjieshu, who was running wildly, suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, decaying. Amidst the dizziness, he still wanted to support his body and climb up, only to find that his left foot had fallen off his leg like a rotten fruit.

Then, it was layers of broken skin, from his hands and limbs.

It was as if a strong acid was raging and surging in his body, eroding his internal organs, organs, and even flesh from the inside out. By the time his nerves sluggishly noticed the pain, everything was already too late.

"This is... wh... what..."

He stared blankly, and then, everything went dark, and the broken eyeballs fell from the sockets.

Unable to see his rapidly degenerating limbs.

After the large group of bone ash mixed in the shrapnel and mercury was stimulated, it began to spread and degenerate.

Such a quantity might have allowed him to linger for two or three days outside the Time Ruins, and then die in torment and despair, but here, in the Time Ruins filled with the aura of degeneration, the speed was incredibly fast.

Blood deformed under the erosion of the evil aura, rapidly decomposing flesh like strong acid. Amidst the collision with the matrix and blessings, large areas of blood and metal combined together, turning into sharp prisms, piercing out from within the body.

Soon, under the stench and thick smoke rising, only a distorted metal shell that looked like post-modern art remained, and even strange prisms pierced out.

It looked like a silhouette from hell.

The punished sinner suffered forever in pain.

In the end, it was hit by the small cart moving forward and fell apart, shattering all over the ground.

"Solved?"

Ji Jue raised his head, looking at Tong Hua, who was dancing with excitement behind the corner, and couldn't help but shake his head: Relying on invisibility, poisoning, and assistance to kill only two, why was she so proud?

Could it be that she hadn't even gotten a single head in the Anquan Bureau on weekdays?

Look at how excited the child was?

In fact, not being able to get heads is the norm—an Ether baby as useful as Tong Hua should be carefully put back into the safe after completing the preliminary search and investigation, and then locked with two locks to be safe, so that the remaining teammates can feel at ease when rushing into the enemy's nest to kill and slash.

Coming to the scene?

What kind of madness is that?

Hard work and tiring work are all for the foot soldiers like Wasteland, Large Group, White Deer, etc., right?

Ji Jue sighed, looking at the situation around him, and still had no real feeling.

Too boring.

Simply tasteless.

Shouldn't this kind of encounter battle be a thrilling battle of wits, fighting and retreating, constantly probing, and finally killing back in a desperate situation after grasping the weakness?

Now there is no difficulty at all!

A three-person team with complete output, control, and tank was solved like cutting melons and vegetables. After finishing, they didn't even take a breath, as leisurely as retirement. Is this the life of the Beishan District Anquan Bureau on weekdays?

Too decadent!

How can one grow in such a happy greenhouse?!

No, such a useful worker... teammate, must find a way to keep her.

Ji Jue's thoughts turned, and his gaze toward Tong Hua became gentle, tender as water, rippling with unstoppable sweetness in the waves.

Must seize the opportunity and find a way to hold onto more of her handles!

Miss Tong, you wouldn't want to...

At the moment Ji Jue was pondering, Tong Hua, who was still silly and happy, suddenly looked back vigilantly, "Are you thinking about something bad again?"

Tsk...

"No, I'm happy for you!"

Ji Jue smiled and clapped, full of enthusiasm, and even the ghost fetus on the ground waved its four little hands and clapped, "Congratulations, Tong Hua, you've grown!"

Amidst the gusts of cold wind, a man in a white coat and a ghost thing with a face beyond recognition were clapping around her, bloodstains were spreading on the corpses on the ground, and there was one who had taken too much medicine and burned his brain, constantly spitting white foam and twitching.

There was no emotion at all, only a chill.

"Getting stranger and stranger!"

Just as the two were talking, a low voice suddenly sounded at the end of the corridor.

Footsteps.

The two looked at each other, Ji Jue instantly filled the bullets for her pistol, and after throwing it over, Tong Hua disappeared into the air.

Only Ji Jue remained, turning his head to look at the source of the footsteps.

From the chaotic and low sound, one stiff human figure after another, like living corpses, sniffed the smell of blood and walked straight toward this place.

After walking past the corner, when noticing the unexpected figures, they suddenly stopped on the spot.

Those pale faces without any expression were like corpses, their eyes rolled white, unable to see any spirit, their movements stiff and rigid, and saliva slowly flowed from the corners of their mouths.

More importantly...

... those were all alive!

But now, although life still existed, they were like corpses, without any reaction, turning into puppets.

Turned into walking dead in the literal sense.

"Hmm?"

It seemed to be an accident. A blurry voice came from the crowd. From among the living corpse-like puppets, a slightly hunched figure slowly walked out.

The pale face raised and looked at Ji Jue, and soon, his gaze fell on Tong Hua, who was invisible on the side.

For a long time, he nodded knowingly.

He nodded and said: "Please don't be nervous, I'm just doing research, just passing by."

"What a coincidence."

Ji Jue laughed, "Me too."

"I know, the little thing is really unique... how did you make it?"

The comer squatted down, reached out, and teased the hungry ghost fetus by himself, reaching out and carefully playing with it: "Hmm, although the biological part is a mess, the spiritual quality preservation is quite unique.

Hmm, so that's it... the same style, those spiders before were also made by you, right? I thought bugs had entered the sterile room, but I was angry for a long time."

During the conversation, he wasn't careful, and one of his fingers was bitten by the ghost fetus, instantly bitten off and swallowed into its belly, but he just waved his hand indifferently, and soon new fingers grew out.

Just like that, he kicked the ghost fetus away casually.

Signaling to Ji Jue.

Ji Jue waved his hand and didn't make contact.

At this moment, examining the appearance of the comer, he didn't feel any malice. Under vigilance, he didn't make a move, just asked: "How should I address you?"

"Xie Lan, Xie of gratitude, Lan of mountain wind."

Without hesitation or concealment, he said his name straightforwardly, and even took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Attending Physician of Yacheng Sports Medicine Center, Dean of Xinxin Nursing Home...

The series of titles made Ji Jue's eyebrows twitch wildly.

Why do you have so many titles?

Then, right in front of Ji Jue, that hunched body slowly straightened up. Amidst the creaking sound of bone friction, his face changed, peeling off like old wallpaper. Amidst the squirming flesh, it reorganized into a face full of affinity, with a gentle smile.

"The Ember heritage in Yacheng comes and goes, just those few. You don't look like someone who is good at selling hooks, nor are you a descendant of a famous family... Hmm, could it be a high disciple of that master from the Tide-Sound Workshop?"

He nodded knowingly and said decisively: "It must be Mr. Ji, right?"

"..."

Ji Jue's expression twitched and couldn't stop: "Am I that famous?"

"After all, you are a genius who rediscovered fluid alchemy. Because I have also done research in similar areas, I am very interested in this and look forward to seeing your thesis soon."

Xie Lan grinned: "Please rest assured, if we really want to pull relationships, I can be considered a fellow disciple of Old Mr. Zhang, so I won't make a move against the Anquan Bureau people here."

He paused slightly, and a strange eye with constantly splitting and aggregating pupils looked behind Ji Jue, his smile mischievous: "It's just that I didn't expect that the Tong family of Tian Ting would also be as unlucky as an ordinary Chosen One like me."

Looking at Tong Hua's position twice in a row, and saying her origin so firmly.

"Know her?" Ji Jue turned slightly and asked.

Tong Hua didn't appear, just said: "Met once."

She originally wanted to say, this is a lunatic of the Vortex lineage, you must be careful. But thinking about it carefully, you are also a lunatic!

Maybe the two of you together will cancel each other out.

She, a mere mortal who only knows how to eat melons, was shivering too late, so why bother about other things!

"You guys did me a big favor this time."

Xie Lan glanced at the corpses on the ground with a smile that wasn't a smile: "When these guys came to persuade me to join the Holy Spirit's command, their tone was very aggressive...

If it weren't for you, I'm afraid they would have come to the door directly.

I'm not good at fighting people."

"Right, right, me too. We intellectuals always suffer."

Ji Jue nodded in empathy after listening, agreeing without hesitation, sighing.

Everyone is doing research, how can they be good at fighting people?

Usually, they just make moves on others...

During the short pleasantries, Tong Hua was already completely numb.

Watching these two lunatics, after confirming they were friendly forces, actually start to flirt so quickly, you praise my child for being cute, I praise your companion for being amiable, and the favorability actually rose steadily.

After some pleasantries, everyone increased their understanding, promoted friendship, and even left contact information inviting each other to visit for guidance another day.

"Meeting is fate, Brother Xie."

Ji Jue grabbed the other's small hand reluctantly: "Any interest in joining together?"

"Sorry, really no time."

Xie Lan shook his head decisively, looking back at the "zombies" behind him, "So many rare cases, this is the first time I've seen them since I came back from advanced studies in the hospital. I don't even have time to do research, let alone do anything else.

Besides, since I took them for experiments, I have to bring them out completely... The research hasn't been finished yet, it would be a pity if it were damaged."

"Indeed."

Ji Jue nodded, sighing with regret.

"By the way, if you just want to go out, just wait for a while."

Before leaving, Xie Lan lowered his head and looked at the only survivor twitching on the ground: "Thanks to these guys, this Time Ruins won't last long.

However, if you want to go to the inpatient building, you have to be careful. That place is already a heavily polluted area, and there is a bunch of lunatics from the Huaxie Sect... I don't know what kind of trouble they can make."

"Safety first, safety first, how can we just break in?"

Ji Jue nodded in agreement, the two smiled at each other, waved goodbye at the end, and after walking two steps, they turned their heads again at the same time, waving again.

Repeating this, turning their heads every three steps.

Until returning to the elevator.

The moment the elevator door closed, Tong Hua didn't have time to complain that you lunatics were flirting so quickly, and saw Ji Jue's face in the elevator collapse.

Just like Xie Lan in the corridor outside the elevator.

"Tsk!"

Two sighs in unison echoed in the ghostly hospital.

So many materials, and didn't find a chance to make a move?

"What a pity..." ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
