"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Jump (Morbius)"
"……"
As Morbius went on a killing spree, the notification sounds for the dropped rewards rang out incessantly in Su Quan's mind.
Good heavens, aside from the 'vampire' serum, Morbius's abilities have almost been completely farmed in one go.
What other abilities does he have?
Transforming into vampire form?
Bloodlust, gaining strength after consuming human blood?
These two abilities—one is too ugly, the other is too useless!
"Roar!!!"
Morbius turned to look at Su Quan and Martina Bancroft, letting out a ferocious, beast-like roar.
The roar made Martina Bancroft tremble slightly, but she did not panic or lose her composure like other women; instead, she suppressed her fear and, facing the terror, attempted to reason with Morbius.
"Dr. Morbius, it's me, I'm Martina. I'm your assistant, I'm the one who helped you inject the serum."
"This is Su Quan, do you remember? He is your investor!"
"Dr. Morbius, you need to calm down... calm down... calm..."
"Roar!!!"
Dr. Morbius, who had quieted down slightly, roared again for some reason, opening his blood-red maw wide to reveal sharp fangs, and lunged fiercely at Martina Bancroft.
"It's over!"
Martina Bancroft had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as Morbius lunged at her.
Just as she subconsciously prepared to close her eyes and accept her fate, a strange howl suddenly rang out, followed by her eyes widening in disbelief.
What did she see?
Su Quan—Su Quan had actually grabbed Morbius by the throat with one hand and lifted him up!
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Shapeshifting (Morbius)"
Morbius seemed not to have expected to be grabbed by the throat; he was stunned for a few seconds before angrily clawing at Su Quan's arm with his sharp nails.
"Screech!"
As the two claws raked down, they actually produced a harsh, metallic grinding sound, even sparking a few flying embers.
"Ah..."
A painful roar followed, but the one screaming was not Su Quan, but Morbius, whose fingers were dripping with blood!
What is it to lift a rock only to drop it on one's own feet?
This is it!
Although Morbius's claws were sharp and hard, Su Quan's skin was harder and his defense was higher; the more force Morbius used to claw, the more damage he inflicted upon himself!
"Hmph!"
Su Quan snorted coldly and glared; Morbius seemed to be hit by some invisible impact, his eyes rolled back, his limbs went limp, and he passed out instantly.
Throwing the unconscious Morbius to the ground, Su Quan turned to Martina Bancroft and said, "Scared? It's okay, I'm here for everything."
Martina Bancroft let out a long sigh; she knew Su Quan had issues, and Morbius's experiment had also gone wrong, but she knew even better that now was not the time to discuss these problems.
She shook her head, trying her best to calm down: "I'm fine, but what happens next? So many people died; even though we are in international waters, we will still be investigated when we return."
Su Quan chuckled and said, "Don't say you weren't the one who killed them; even if you were, I could solve it."
Martina Bancroft glanced at Morbius, who was lying on the ground and had returned to his human form; if anyone was in real trouble, it was him.
"Copy the serum formula and all the data here, then delete it along with the surveillance footage."
"Oh, and make a few more bottles of the serum to take with us."
Su Quan instructed.
Martina Bancroft frowned and said hesitantly, "This serum... it should be a failure, right?"
Morbius, a frail doctor, turned into a murderous monster after injecting the serum; if this serum isn't considered a failure, what is?
Su Quan shook his head with a light laugh: "On the contrary, the serum actually succeeded..."
"Succeeded?"
"Yes."
Su Quan pointed at Morbius and explained: "Although the serum turned him into a vampire-like monster, his blood disease was cured. From the perspective of the original intent of researching the serum, it was indeed a success."
"As for the side effects and other influences, that's a different matter."
"However... in my opinion, the side effects are not serious."
Su Quan paused and said with a smile: "Although he lost control and went on a killing spree like a beast, that was because the serum caused his DNA to change, affecting his body and mind. Once he wakes up and learns to control and practice, he shouldn't lose control so easily again."
"I hope so."
Martina Bancroft looked at the corpses scattered around and was not as optimistic as Su Quan.
But she still followed Su Quan's instructions to make a few bottles of serum, copied the formula and related data, and finally completely deleted the content on the computer and all the surveillance footage.
After everything was done, Su Quan put his arm around Martina Bancroft's waist and said with a smile, "Alright, let's go."
"What about Dr. Morbius? Are we, are we not taking him with us?" Martina Bancroft asked.
Su Quan shook his head: "He will leave on his own when he wakes up."
"Alright, then how are we leaving here? Did you arrange a boat or a plane?" Martina Bancroft asked curiously.
"Neither!"
Su Quan smiled and signaled for her to close her eyes, then with a 'whoosh', he teleported back to her apartment.
The entire process took less than a second.
"Alright, open your eyes."
Martina Bancroft opened her eyes, filled with doubt, and was instantly dumbfounded.
"This is my home?!"
"Weren't we on a cargo ship in international waters? How did we get back home just by closing and opening our eyes?"
Su Quan said with a beaming smile: "Guess?"
"I'm not guessing!"
"Tell me what exactly is going on; this—this is not scientific!"
……
I have the heart to pull myself together and update more, but the conditions in all aspects simply don't allow it; they don't give me a chance at all!
