92 Luo Xi’s Disappointmen

Long Yu applied some pressure and dug out the bead from its forehead. As soon as he did that, the bead cracked into pieces, followed by the corpse withering at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Using the system to procure information, he realised that the bead was originally a mutant core from a mutated creature, which had been artificially transplanted into the human experiment.

Regrettably, this mutant core was of no use to Long Yu anymore. The process of the experimentation seemed to have drained the power of the core and permanently fused it to the host.

Long Yu even tried the method of trading the corpse while retaining the core, but alas it didn't work.

The moment the core was removed from the mutated experiment, it would become useless and extremely fragile, breaking with a single touch.

"It won't work young man. The researchers in this facility have already tried several methods but were met with no success. It seems the moment the mutant core is transplanted, it can no longer be removed in one piece. It's unlike those mutant cores that grow naturally inside mutated creatures," the old researcher cautiously walked out the room after seeing that the danger was gone.

Hearing the researcher confirm his finding, Long Yu felt a little disappointed but did not mind it too much.

"Old man, let's go. We don't have time to linger around," he said as he walked away from the site.

It had slipped his mind that they were not the only preys inside this facility. This meant that there was a possibility that Xixi's mother would encounter these dangerous mutated experiments as well, especially considering the amount of time she spent here. Fortunately, it was confirmed that she had successfully mutated and could at least protect herself.

Regardless, it would be best for Long Yu to find her as soon as possible.

….

"Ugh, why is this stupid place so big?!" Luo Xi frustratedly stomped the floor.

Along the way, she had killed several zombies and mutant experiments, but there were still no signs of Long Yu. At this point, she knew she had gone the wrong way.

She then closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again.

'There isn't enough time, Xixi's soul will awaken soon. I can already feel my control over her body lessen bit by bit…'

Of course, Luo Xi knew the little girl couldn't be blamed since she was the one borrowing her body after all. Nevertheless, she still felt a little disappointed.

"I guess I should head back to the vehicle soon. It would be bad if I suddenly lose control and accidentally leave Xixi here alone," she sighed and started heading back to the entrance.

As she walked, a huge figure suddenly appeared at the corner in front of her.

The two meter tall hideous creature roared as it brandished its extremely long and sharp claws. It lunged at its little prey, intending to rip her apart. However, it could only feel its body pause in the air for a brief moment before being slammed into the ground.

An invisible force pressed down on the creature as it struggled to move. There was nothing it could do except powerlessly flail its limbs around. Seeing its prey slowly approaching, the creature could only raise its head and growl loudly.

*Puchi*

The light in the creatures eyes faded as its body went limp.

"….."

Luo Xi wiped away the beads of sweat on her forehead. Forcefully restraining a creature of such size and strength really took a toll on her body.

At her current state, there was a limit to how much power and control she could exert.

After a while, Luo Xi managed to find her way back to the entrance. Her consciousness would fade in and out the more time passed. Eventually, she reached the Black Shark and laid her head on the lap of the still unconscious Li Xue Lan.

'If only I had more time…' she sighed internally before closing her eyes.

After another half an hour, Long Yu and the old researcher finally found some other survivors hiding inside the control room.

"You, who are you? How did you open the door?!"

The people inside were shocked by the sudden appearance of the intruders, especially the young man who was wearing a futuristic looking armor.

"Now you know how I felt…" the old researcher mumbled as he stood behind Long Yu, who ignored his complaint.

Unfortunately, after scanning the survivors with his eyes, Long Yu realised that the person he was looking for, Xixi's mother, wasn't among them.

Sighing, he said to the old researcher, "You should stay here with them, it would be faster for me to move alone."

"Nooo, don't leave me here with them. Can't you feel their hostility towards me?" the old man panicked as he knew how much the victims hated those who worked for the secret facility.

"You reap what you sow. Don't worry, at worst you'll only get beaten up," Long Yu replied with a smirk.

As the old man was about the protest, a bespectacled male teenager from the group nervously approached them.

"Excuse me, have you by any chance seen a woman with short black hair? She's a survivor like us. She went out alone to find supplies from the medical bay but have yet to return..."
