Chapter 770

How could such a meticulous person have only set up this one scheme?

Ning Chen looked around, observing possible developments from every direction.

At the same time, he noticed that Xiao Lin's condition seemed terrible.

His face was as pale as paper, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Yet his gaze kept lingering on Prince Wang, visibly filled with reluctant attachment.

This is bizarre!

Ning Chen felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint why.

"Brother, hurry and think of a solution—the countdown is almost over!"

Lin Yi whispered to Ning Chen; though he couldn't tell exactly how much time had passed, this long must mean it was about to trigger.

But when he looked back at Ning Chen, there was still no reaction.

As if he himself weren't in a desperate situation.

While the group was fighting the endless stream of black-robed figures, Ning Chen suddenly noticed Xiao Lin's whole body beginning to convulse.

His shoulders shook violently, and his hands involuntarily twisted together.

This was nothing like how he had looked when he first arrived, and it made Ning Chen feel something was eerie.

Clearly, Xiao Lin needed close attention.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong?"

While Ning Chen was still thinking, he suddenly heard a loud scream coming from Prince Wang's direction.

Both of them immediately turned their gazes toward that direction.

They froze in place, unable to move forward any further.

The once vibrant face was now riddled with holes; the rotting flesh had completely peeled away.

Like a python shedding its skin, the entire body was a bloody mess.

"Xiao Lin!"

Though they had only known each other briefly, he could feel that Xiao Lin truly wanted to escape this situation.

But his current state was utterly horrifying.

"My god, what happened to this girl? In just a short while, how did she rot to this state?"

Lin Yi was so terrified he was speechless.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lin had already rushed toward Prince Wang's group at incredible speed.

The speed was astonishing.

So fast that the naked eye couldn't track it—Lin Yi instinctively stepped back two paces.

As soon as Xiao Lin reached the group, he opened his bloody maw and lunged toward them.

"Ahh!"

A chorus of horrific screams erupted all around.

Could it be?

Ning Chen seemed to realize something—the fifteen-minute countdown wasn't for the headquarters' destruction.

Ye Lisi's ultimate weapon is Xiao Lin.

By the time he realized this, it was too late—the headquarters was now flooded with countless dark shadows slowly emerging.

These were the things Ye Lisi had spent years researching.

They were objects carrying a virus, which they injected into human bodies.

Those injected became mindless corpses like Xiao Lin.

Not only that—they rotted all over their bodies; Ning Chen carefully observed the surroundings.

Xiao Lin's final state couldn't possibly be this—there had to be something else going on.

As Ning Chen thought, the guards Xiao Lin had bitten suddenly writhed and crawled back to their feet.

A maniacal laugh echoed throughout the headquarters.

It seemed he was mocking everyone for their futile resistance; Prince Wang, faced with the situation, was now filled with dread.

He had believed advanced equipment alone would be enough to counter Ye Lisi.

In terms of personnel, he had laid out a perfect net.

But he never imagined Ye Lisi's counterattack wasn't physical at all.

Damn it!

Ning Chen knew they couldn't stay here—those who had been bitten had already turned into exact copies of Xiao Lin.

These zombie-like beings made even the black-robed figures uneasy.

The dark shadows slowly emerged from the headquarters; Ning Chen then realized they were countless beings identical to Xiao Lin.

Their flesh was rotten, their limbs stiff and rigid.

Yet their speed was terrifying; maggots crawled all over their bodies, and as they moved, pus and maggots dripped off slowly.

Lin Yi was utterly stunned—he never thought he'd witness something like this in his lifetime.

Now he understood why Ye Lisi had such overwhelming confidence.

Even facing two opposing factions, he remained completely calm.

The most urgent thing now was to evacuate immediately—no matter what, they couldn't become these walking corpses.

Blood dripped onto the ground, and a stench of decay hit them full force.

Those who had been bitten also became monstrous, clawing and snarling, utterly terrifying.

So they absolutely must not be touched by those walking corpses.
