Chapter 16 (1/2)

Scientists, experimental base, serum antibodies, unique experimental subject detector…and then add in Leng Lin’s secretive mood swings.

Everything pointed to one answer.

Shi Qing’s words unexpectedly clarified everything for Qin Mo. He had been suspicious before, but he could not be 100% confident. Although he had been through many trials, Leng Lin showed him no cracks in his behaviour. Even though he was suspicious, since there was no evidence it was not prudent to act.

Qin Mo did not expect that his little dagger, Shi Qing, would actually manage to witness Leng Lin’s attitude that was rarely known to anyone. That made Qin Mo all the more clear in his thoughts on the situation.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Qing finally finished his long-winded musings and arrived at his main point. Although some of his initial thoughts were slightly off the mark, the last sentence was like a key that immediately opened the locked door. Everything ambiguous was gradually cleared up.

At that moment, Shi Qing was terribly shocked by the way things were turning out. His field of vision was wide, so even though they were separated by five or six meters, he could see Leng Lin at a glance if he so desired.

Shi Qing, merely taking a habitual look back towards Leng Lin, did not expect to be met with an incredible scene once again.

Leng Lin and Li Su were working as a team and the two men seemed to be searching for data on a bookshelf. Li Su was in front and Leng Lin was standing behind him. In that exact moment, Leng Lin took advantage of the fact that Li Su was not paying attention to him. Leng Lin stabbed him with a sharp needle and injected something straight into his neck!

Leng Lin, what was he doing?

Once Shi Qing finally snapped out of it, he quickly poked Qin Mo and shouted, “Li Su is in danger!”

Although he discovered the threat in time, it was already too late.

Li Su suddenly swelled up and his speed increased greatly; he was at least as fast as a cheetah. The object of his attack turned out to be the man standing five meters away, Qin Mo!

Thanks to Shi Qing’s warning, Qin Mo was able to react in time. He swiftly dodged to the side and managed to avoid a fatal strike. His heavy leather boots left a dark scuff mark on the bright floor. From from this one spot, it could be seen that he had great speed and strength!

Li Su’s offensive barrage did not stop. His friendly demeanour from the past had completely disappeared. His black eyes had been stained crimson, his thin lips were pulled tight, his skin was pale, and he gave off the same cold feeling as a viper.

Within just a few seconds, the two men were fighting hand to hand. Each blow they struck was laced with the intent to kill, utterly merciless!

Standing off to the side, Leng Lin finally removed his disguise. His black eyes looked like blood was pouring in until they were finally dyed a bright red. A vicious sneer crept across his face, and he shot a mocking look at Qin Mo.

The other four team members did not witness all that had transpired, so they did not know why Li Su and Qin Mo were fighting. They were about to ask, but suddenly felt a tingling sensation in their waists and fell unconscious.

Leng Lin watched contemptuously as those four fell to the ground. They were not high enough calibre—he would not waste the original virus on them. After dealing with them, he turned to watch the fight between Li Su and Qin Mo.

These two were both incredibly powerful. Under the influence of the injection Li Su’s strength was powered up to the extreme, yet Qin Mo could actually hold up against him. Although there was a gap in power, he was agile, insightful, and always able to escape death’s door by dodging cleverly.

Despite Qin Mo’s success…as he watched a smile slowly bloomed across Leng Lin’s face. It was only a matter of time until Qin Mo was exhausted, at which point he could be captured by Li Su. Then Leng Lin could inject the original virus into him as well.

Although two experimental subjects were dead, it did not matter. Instead, he would have these two men as far more powerful experimental subjects!

Leng Lin and Shi Qing could both clearly feel that the mutated Li Su was too strong. Fortunately Li Su was diligent and thrifty, and his ammunition had been stored away. Otherwise, if his current skill level was coupled with a gun and ammunition, then no matter how tough Qin Mo was to deal with he would have likely lost his life!

Under Li Su’s crazed offensive assault, Qin Mo was not given any opportunities to escape. Only by virtue of his strong sense of intuition was he able to escape the attacks coming his way. Unfortunately he was unable to fight back in the slightest.

Shi Qing was feeling a sense of urgency similar to a cat on a hot tin roof. If things dragged on like this, his small life was not guaranteed ah!

Calm down! Qin Mo had no time to take care of the others, but at least he could still make a difference. Shi Qing could only hate that he was now a dagger…No…no…thankfully he was a dagger!

Shi Qing was struck by a sudden brain wave. In this critical juncture, he had a solution in mind.

Qin Mo and Li Su were fighting earnestly. Although the other four teammates were taken down by Leng Lin with a small weapon, other than that sneak attack Leng Lin was merely a spectator!

Why sit on the sidelines? If Leng Lin had some powerful ability, would it not be possible to help Li Su defeat Qin Mo? But he did not! What did that mean? It meant that Leng Lin’s fighting strength was not even worth mentioning.

Thinking back carefully, if not by virtue of Li Su’s lack of vigilance towards Leng Lin, how could he have succeeded? Even looking at the four teammates who fell to the ground, Leng Lin was able to seize the opportunity and overwhelm them through the element of surprise and with the use of advanced weapons.

Since Leng Lin was not confident in his shooting skills, he did not dare to attempt to shoot Qin Mo while he was fighting with Li Si. He was afraid of accidentally injuring Li Su!

Those ideas flashed through Shi Qing’s mind and he suddenly knew what to do.

Taking advantage of gaps in Qin Mo’s movement, he took control of his dagger body and suddenly flew out. He shot straight towards Leng Lin.

When he noticed the sharp, cold blade flying straight towards his eyes, Leng Lin’s heart almost stopped. He did not think that while Qin Mo was in such a difficult predicament, he could still manage to make an attack elsewhere!

However, since it was just a dagger, Leng Lin did not worry too much about it. Although his combat effectiveness was not strong, he could still avoid such an obvious attack fairly easily.

Leng Lin leaned toward the left with the intent of avoiding the dagger’s path. He had intended to relax, but he did not expect that the dagger would actually alter its trajectory and continue to fly straight at him!

This! How could this be?!

Seeing that the dagger was aimed at him again, Leng Lin had to run away again to escape. He was totally shocked to find that it seemed like the dagger had its own consciousness. It quickly changed direction again and persisted toward him.

What the hell was this?!

In a panic, Leng Lin managed to dodge the dagger once again. A cold sweat broke out across his forehead; he had abandoned too many things to obtain this body. For his sacrifices to have meaning, the most important point was that he could not die here. If that dagger pierced his head, he would definitely die in an instant.
