Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 458: No Courage, No Right to Survive

"Doctor, where should we regroup after we get out?"

Lynn smiled. "No hurry, we'll talk about it once we're out."

At this moment.

He was one hundred percent certain there was an ambush by the Mechanical Cult waiting outside.

Because even if they were too busy to spare attention, it was impossible not to encounter a single mechanical unit. That could only mean the outside was actually crawling with them.

It's just that they wanted to hook this big fish.

In that case.

Well, of course, the more that could escape, the better~

As long as even one of those guys survived to reunite with their main force, his reputation within the Desire Sect would spread far and wide. Why not let that happen?

And if not a single one managed to survive...Ah!

Then that would have nothing to do with him.

After all, he was now an utterly evil Plague Doctor, and he had already done everything he possibly could!

Then, under Lynn's smiling gaze, the Flesh and Blood Humanoids and the Tentacle Monster swiftly rushed out of the ground one after another along that node, scattering in all directions.

Still, there was no movement at all.

Even when the fleeing flesh creatures were reduced to less than a tenth of their original number, the Mechanical Cult still hadn't acted.

If it were an ordinary person, they might truly start to think that the outside was perhaps safe after all.

But Lynn wasn't falling for that.

"Aren't you guys leaving yet?"

Lynn lowered his head with a smile in his eyes, looking at the last six or seven Flesh and Blood Humanoids below, and tapped his temple.

One of the Flesh and Blood Humanoids gulped and said, "Do... Doctor, we still think sticking with you would feel a bit safer..."

"Ah, I see."

Lynn's smile became even more radiant.

Because with things having come to this point.

There really was no other way.

Creatures without courage have no right to survive on the battlefield.

"Since that's the case, I can only wish you good luck."

Lynn smiled, tipping his hat slightly towards those few flesh creatures, offering his final blessing, saying:

"We'll meet again if fate allows."

And at that very instant, under their stunned and bewildered gazes, Lynn's body suddenly transformed into a crimson mist and vanished from the spot in a flash.

And at that exact moment, the silver-haired girl who had been lying in wait outside suddenly received information from the Hive in her eyes.

"Warning—Target suspected of using some form of fold-jump ability to leave current position—Information updating—Target is rapidly moving away from Node 4524—"

"Warning—Target speed is rapidly increasing—Current distance from you: 1 kilometer—1.5 kilometers—2 kilometers—"

In that instant, all the Mechanical Consciousnesses controlling the mechanical swarm were jolted.

"Not good!"

At this moment.

They finally understood. They had fallen for that guy's trick; he had probably sensed them long ago.

He never actually intended to leave from here. The reason he stayed there was to deceive them, to cover the escape of those Flesh and Blood Humanoids.

"Clearance Operation!"

The silver-haired girl's expression remained unchanged as she coldly issued the command.

She and Sun Jian stood up. Accompanied by the rapid activation of the fold-jump engines within her body, her figure flashed like a ghost, *shua shua shua* continuously fold-jumping hundreds of meters away.

In the area where the node was located, a large number of mechanical units deactivated their information concealment and immediately, without hesitation, surged towards the node, pouring a massive amount of firepower into the interior.

Screams of agony instantly filled the entire area.

And they also quickly and clearly divided tasks, launching a pursuit of the flesh creatures that had fled earlier.

Waves of anger spread throughout the entire swarm.

Because they knew.

They had been fooled by that damned Plague Doctor yet again.

"Miss Intelligence Machine—We request permission to assist you in hunting the target—Please grant approval!"

But they did not receive a reply from the silver-haired girl.

At this very moment.

On the ground littered with ruins, the girl, like an agile leopard, rapidly sprinted with a calm expression, a large silver sniper rifle in her hand, her body leaping between one high-rise building after another.

And in her eyes was that flickering light point, also frantically speeding along underground.

Her target for this mission!

That Desire Disseminator!

"Continue tracking the target—"

The silver-haired girl pressed the communication device by her ear, her figure constantly leaping as she spoke calmly:

"Notify the nano-clusters in Zone 314 to intercept and eliminate the target along Root Network No. 5. Order the No. 41 and No. 42 Mechanical Beetle Clusters, which have penetrated deep underground, to cut off the target's retreat from the left and right flank routes, locking down his area of movement."

"Affirmative—Intelligence Core command received—Awaiting your command."

Almost simultaneously, deep within the Root Network underground.

At the deepest point of the previous two branching paths, dense swarms of nano-machines surged forward like a flood.

And deeper underground, countless silver-white beetle-type mechanical creatures suddenly raised their heads, their eyes flashing with pale blue mechanical light. They immediately split into two groups, moving from various nodes to surround Lynn's direction.

Just as Lynn had guessed.

The moment they left the signal interference zone, they had actually already stepped into the encirclement net.

And now.

Tug one hair, and the whole body moves. The periphery of the Root Network had long been infiltrated and turned into a sieve by the Mechanical Cult.

And at this very moment underground, Lynn was riding Little Treasure, speeding forward at an unimaginable speed. His gaze had also become unusually calm and focused.

It was precisely because of sufficient caution that he had managed to save his life time and time again during the two years before he obtained the System.

His diary was filled with many taboos from that time that could not be touched.

Like not being able to set foot in the black fog.

Because for him back then, every creature within the black fog represented immense danger.

Now, although he was strong enough.

He also understood that the Dark World was never short of powerful beings. On the contrary, the stronger you were, the higher the probability of dying.

Because you lacked reverence for the darkness.

"Brain! There's movement ahead!"

Zuo Zuo sensed something, her breathing suddenly becoming rapid.

Lynn abruptly looked up and came to a sudden stop, also hearing the dense, buzzing sound coming from ahead in the passageway. It was like a giant wave, or a surging swarm of bees.

Nano-clusters!

"Just as I thought!" Lynn sneered.

And if he wasn't mistaken, at this very moment, in the network below him, there were probably countless clusters surging towards him as well.

"Let's go to the upper level."

In an instant, Lynn activated his fold-jump ability, his body once again turning into a crimson mist.

"Calling for air support—Bunker buster rounds ready—Prepare for precision strike on target area—Requirement: 30 rounds—"

On the ground, the silver-haired girl somersaulted and landed on top of a high-rise building, her expression utterly calm.

"Command received—Warheads ready—Air strike ready—"

"Firepower about to saturate the area—Good luck."
