Chapter 133: Lin Chen vs. Lei Hu 8: The Great Battle Ends

~7 min read 1,399 words

The moment the ice ball hit that member of the Black Wind Base, the extreme cold Qi instantly spread. That person didn't even let out a scream before being frozen into an ice sculpture,

and then the ice sculpture shattered, scattering into countless fragments with ice crystals. The surrounding people all froze in place, and the hospital entrance fell into a dead silence, with only the "woo-woo" sound of the wind blowing over the ice surface.

A few seconds later,

the silence was broken. The people from the Black Wind Base came to their senses and retreated one after another,

and someone shouted: "Run! He is a monster!" More than a dozen people holding weapons scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing into the distance, forgetting even to pick up the guns dropped on the ground. Lei Hu stood in place, looking at the ice crystal fragments on the ground, his face pale, his hands trembling slightly.

Lin Chen withdrew his cold Qi, but his body could no longer support him, and he staggered back a few steps,

leaning against the cold wall of the hospital. The wound on his chest began to bleed again, staining his tattered clothes,

and his vision went black, but he still forced himself to speak: "Xia Nuan... is still in the plaza... I have to go back to find her." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a wave of dizziness and almost collapsed to the ground. Lei Hu hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"It's useless for you to go back like this now; if the wound keeps bleeding, you'll lose your life." Lei Hu supported Lin Chen,

his tone urgent, "I actually didn't lie to you about everything; there is indeed an antidote in the base that can heal your wounds. It's in the room I lived in before; I'll take you to get it.

" Lin Chen looked at him, his eyes full of suspicion: "What trick are you trying to play again?" Lei Hu gave a bitter smile: "We've reached this point; what other tricks could I play? If you die, I won't survive either; those people won't let me off."

Lin Chen was silent for a moment and nodded: "Fine, I'll believe you one last time. If you lie to me again,

I will drag you down with me even if it costs me my life." Lei Hu supported Lin Chen and walked toward the Black Wind Base. On the way, they encountered several fleeing base members,

who, seeing Lei Hu and Lin Chen together, were so scared that they hurriedly hid, none daring to come forward to stop them.

The two arrived at the Black Wind Base, and Lei Hu led Lin Chen into a simple room,

took out a black box from under the bed, and opened it to reveal a blue potion. "This is the antidote; it will stop the bleeding half an hour after injection,

and the wound will slowly heal, though the process will be a bit painful." Lei Hu took out a syringe, drew the potion, and handed it to Lin Chen, "Do you want to do it yourself or should I help you?" Lin Chen took the syringe and injected it into his arm. The moment the potion entered his body, a burning sensation spread, and intense pain came from the wound. He gritted his teeth, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

Half an hour later,

the pain gradually eased, the wound on his chest stopped bleeding, and the scabbed area began to itch. Lin Chen tried to move his arm and found that his strength had also recovered quite a bit.

He stood up, looked at Lei Hu, and his eyes turned cold again: "I've got the antidote; you should fulfill your promise. Where exactly is the healing ability user?

" Lei Hu suddenly sat on the ground and sighed: "Actually, there is no healing ability user; I made that up. But I know of a place that has an instrument that can make people recover. It's in the abandoned laboratory in Chengdong, but there are many mutant creatures there, and I never dared to go in."

Lin Chen was completely enraged when he heard this. He pulled out the dagger from his waist,

pointed it at Lei Hu: "You lied to me again! I think you're tired of living!" Lei Hu didn't dodge, just looked at Lin Chen: "I didn't lie to you; that instrument really exists.

I went there once with my brothers before and saw the instrument's manual; it can repair physical damage,

and it might be able to save your woman. I'll take you there, but you have to promise me that after finding the instrument, you'll let me go. I don't want to stay in the base anymore."

Lin Chen's hand holding the dagger tightened, but he finally put it down: "Fine, I promise you,

I'll let you go after finding the instrument, but if you dare to lie to me again, I absolutely won't show mercy.

" The two rested for a while, and Lei Hu found two clean sets of clothes and handed one to Lin Chen: "Change into it; you'll be treated as a monster if you go out like this." Lin Chen took the clothes, changed into them, and felt much more comfortable. The two walked toward the abandoned laboratory in Chengdong.

On the way, Lei Hu suddenly spoke: "Actually, I wasn't like this before. Before the apocalypse, I was a doctor.

Later, people in the base killed my wife and children to snatch supplies, and I became what I am now just to survive,

following the leader to snatch things everywhere." Lin Chen didn't speak, just walked forward. He had no interest in Lei Hu's past; he just wanted to find the instrument and save Xia Nuan.

The two arrived at the entrance of the abandoned laboratory, and the roars of mutant creatures came from inside.

Lei Hu's face turned pale: "There are many mutant spiders inside; their venom is very powerful. If you get bitten, it's over." Lin Chen took out the Purple Lightning Purification Gun and loaded it with armor-piercing bullets: "Follow behind me, don't fall behind, and shoot if you encounter spiders." The two walked into the laboratory, which was pitch black. Lin Chen turned on his flashlight to illuminate the path ahead. The ground was crawling with huge mutant spiders, and they immediately rushed toward them upon seeing the two.

Lin Chen fired, the armor-piercing bullet hitting the spider's head, and the mutant spider instantly fell to the ground.

Lei Hu also picked up a gun and fired at the spiders. The two cooperated and slowly walked toward the depths of the laboratory.

Walking to the middle of the laboratory, Lin Chen saw a silver instrument with the words "Life Repair Instrument" on it, and his heart was filled with joy: "This is it!" Just as he was about to walk over, Lei Hu suddenly took out a knife from behind and slashed at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen reacted quickly, dodging to the side, and the knife hit the instrument nearby, making a "Clang" sound. "What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Chen glared at Lei Hu,

but Lei Hu laughed crazily: "I just want to kill you! You destroyed everything I had; why should I let you save your woman? I want you to be like me, losing all the important people!" He slashed at Lin Chen again with the knife. Lin Chen no longer showed mercy, took out his dagger, and stabbed it into Lei Hu's chest. The dagger instantly sank in, Lei Hu's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Lin Chen in disbelief, blood flowing from his mouth.

"I... actually... really wanted to... help you..." Lei Hu said intermittently, his body slowly falling to the ground, but his eyes were still looking at Lin Chen, "Laboratory... behind... there is... backup power... instrument... needs... power... to start..." After finishing, Lei Hu tilted his head and stopped breathing. Lin Chen looked at his corpse for a moment, turned, and walked toward the back of the laboratory. He had to find the backup power, start the instrument, and then go back to save Xia Nuan. He knew Xia Nuan was still waiting for him, definitely still waiting for him. ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
