Chapter 96: Strange shout (2/2)

DuDu was trapped within the alloy metal cage, so if Liu Gan wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t be an easy task. However, this wouldn’t stop Liu Gan. Although the whole building didn’t have electricity, there were several large containers of backup water tanks near the faucet, which could be modified to release water.

Liu Gan was able to dismantle the locks, on the side, which was holding the cage in place. Then, he dragged it inside a nearby room, pushed it over, and closed the door. Liu Gan took apart a water pipe that lined the gaps within the room and released the water. In no time, the water started to fill up the floor of the room.

This type of laboratory room had very good insulation, especially after closing the door, it was able to trap most of the water. Although a few drops of water seeped out the cracks underneath the door, compared with the output coming from the water pipe, the excess water was negligible.

Liu Gan crouched beside the cage while maintaining an undisturbed expression as he looked at DuDu. After ten minutes, the water gradually filled up the whole alloy cage. During that time, DuDu was cursing nonstop at Liu Gan within the cage and finally shut up. His eyes pleaded with Liu Gan, then filled with anger, and finally glared maliciously.

After ten minutes, DuDu submerged underwater kept glaring and didn’t suffocate from lack of oxygen. Liu Gan started to wonder within his own thoughts… He was very sure that DuDu wasn’t a normal human, but was it really the variant zombie detected by the probing scanner?

If it really was the variant zombie, would it be similar to a human and require oxygen to survive? Would submerging it in water kill this strange monster?

Another ten minutes passed by. Liu Gan started to feel impatient and was thinking of another method to kill this young boy. Just then, DuDu revealed an ugly expression of suffering, and his body started contracting.

Shortly after, DuDu finally opened up his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of water. Its stomach swelled up, and its body violently contracted. After a short struggle, it stopped moving. The body was afloat within the metal cage.

At the same time, a strange shout came from within the skull of DuDu. A metallic reflective glow and an insect-like creature crawled out from the orifices. From the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, it leaked out. It seemed like a strange material within the skull was forcing its way out.

However, this strange creature wasn’t able to leave DuDu’s skull. After shouting for a while, it stopped moving. Right when Liu Gan suspected this creature was playing dead, a large orb of black mist leaked from DuDu’s body and Liu Gan’s body absorbed all of it.

Although there wasn’t a boiling feeling, his wristwatch didn’t indicate a level up. However, Liu Gan felt that his body strength, sight, smell, and hearing all received a significant boost.

It seemed like DuDu was definitely the variant zombie detected by the probing scanner. Up until now, Liu Gan had successfully killed two variant zombies after reaching level 5. According to his estimation, if he killed another variant zombie, he could level up from 5 to 6.

The real question started now… It seemed like within this game world, San Xing Corporation was definitely related to the catastrophe. Since the young boy they were studying was designated as a variant zombie, this would mean that they caused the catastrophe by releasing the virus, sending this world into chaos.
