Chapter 1058 - 1073: The Mysterious Mutagenic Drug
After all, the throat is a vital part of the human body, unlike the stomach or legs, once the throat is pierced, it immediately starts bleeding to death. Other injuries can cause death, but not instantaneously, so cutting the throat is undoubtedly the quickest way to see blood.Lin Mu found a method, so dealing with the other zombies became much easier. Although these zombies were highly resistant to attack, they had become somewhat sluggish in their movements, and their minds weren't very sharp. Therefore, as long as Lin Mu used fast attack tactics, how could they possibly escape the merciless assault of Lin Mu's dagger?
"Screw you all, go to hell." Lin Mu said, his figure quickly darting back and forth among the zombies, just like the fast-forward scenes in movies. After a few seconds, a rather shocking scene unfolded: the zombies stood motionless, then suddenly, like fountains, jets of blood spurted from their necks.
A few seconds later, the zombies slowly fell to the ground, convulsing briefly, then perishing one by one. Lin Mu clapped his hands, efficiently taking care of the zombies, but suddenly realized Bai Wuchang had disappeared. However, Lin Mu was also heavily injured, making pursuit impossible. Let him go!
"Are you okay?" Man Luo asked with some concern.
"Oh, now you're worried about me, huh?" Lin Mu's face showed a trace of a mischievous smile, followed by a wicked grin as he looked at Man Luo. This girl had always been as cold-blooded as an animal, yet unexpectedly she showed some real emotion, concerned about her man. Haha, she's indeed making progress! It's not in vain Lin Mu's efforts these past few days.
Man Luo glared at Lin Mu, her expression shifting, "Who's worried about you? If not for the fact you took a punch for me earlier, I wouldn't care if you lived or died."
"Uh... alright."
Lin Mu smiled. Although Man Luo flatly denied it, Lin Mu was no fool; he understood Man Luo still worried about him. After all, women often say one thing and mean another; they say they aren't concerned, but in their hearts, they are. Especially in the ambiguous relationship between Lin Mu and Man Luo, girls don't like their guys being too cocky, hence the contradiction.
"Bai Wuchang has already escaped, what shall we do?" Man Luo asked.
"Let him run, it was just him alone anyway, he can't cause much trouble. But I'm really curious about what drug they consumed that made them so powerful!" Lin Mu said.
To suddenly unleash such a powerful aura in a few seconds from ordinary people, Lin Mu found it tempting. If he mastered this technology, he could potentially dominate the world, at least in Huaxia's underground world.
It might sound exaggerated, but if this drug could turn a group of ordinary scoundrels into a terrifying zombie army, such a resource would undoubtedly be a tremendous asset!
Yet Jinye already has this drug, but his strength hasn't significantly increased; why is that? Lin Mu thought for a moment, it might be because this drug has severe side effects. Once the effects expire, the user's body could rapidly age or lead to physical exhaustion and death.
If it had no side effects, and the user remained unharmed after use, then Jinye wouldn't bother hiring Man Luo to steal pearls.
Even with some toxic side effects, Lin Mu is still interested in this drug. If its negative aspects could be removed, and the positive ones kept, its impact would be extraordinary! Lin Mu picked up one of the empty bottles used by them, outside the bottle was no trademark or anything, just a glass bottle.
But inside the empty bottle, there seemed to be a few drops of liquid. Lin Mu hurriedly screwed the lid on. This thing definitely needs to be taken back for research; maybe there could be some surprising discoveries.
Of course, Lin Mu himself isn't capable of researching it. He'll need medical experts, and they must be trustworthy. This is a significant matter; once the secret formula leaks, despite the huge side effects, there will likely be many who want to try the drug.
"Girl, have you seen this stuff before?" Lin Mu picked up all the bottles they discarded and asked Man Luo.
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard people on Xiang Island talk about a drug that can stimulate human potential, similar to stimulants but far stronger. As for its peculiar effects, tonight is the first time I've seen it!" Man Luo replied.
Lin Mu thought about the power exhibited by the zombies earlier; indeed, it was quite shocking. "I feel this stuff has great research value."
"Although useful, it's harmful to the human body. Otherwise, Jinye would already be invincible worldwide." Man Luo argued.
"Yes, that's true, but I still think there's a need to take this back for thorough research," Lin Mu said.
"It's not that easy. This isn't something ordinary people can research. Probably only national academies have the strength to do so. What connections do you have with the national academy? Judging by the doctors at Flying Dragon Hospital, I doubt they could figure it out," Man Luo said.
Lin Mu chuckled, "Hey, I've told you before, I'm part of a mysterious national agency. Working with the academy is no big deal."
Man Luo glared at Lin Mu again, "Tch, you're just bragging; look, your bragging has reached the heavens!"
"Uh... girl, just indulge my vanity once, will you?" Lin Mu said helplessly.
"No way, hmph, typical!"
Lin Mu smirked, "I'm telling you the truth, okay, you don't believe me, right? I'm leaving Wancheng in a few days."
"Leaving Wancheng? Where are you going?" Man Luo asked.
"Going to research this thing; I'm handing it over to the national academy for study. I've decided, gotta dig up some results!" Lin Mu smiled and said.
Man Luo looked at Lin Mu with skepticism, "Even though you lie so convincingly, I still don't believe you, hmph!"
"Alright, fine, you don't believe me; I can't do anything about it. Anyway, Bai Wuchang is severely injured, won't recover in a few days, and we've dealt a blow to Jinye Group. They won't send people here to deal with you so quickly. You're temporarily safe in Wancheng." Lin Mu said.
"You're really leaving Wancheng?" Man Luo asked.
"Come on, why would I lie to you?" Lin Mu shrugged helplessly.
Man Luo furrowed her brows, "I want to go with you."
