Chapter 217

He looked at Ling Jing as if admiring a piece of art.0

Beside the hospital bed, there was a lean man.0

His hand bore a snake-shaped tattoo.0

At the moment, he was chained to the wall, unable to move.0

"You told me that if the information I provided was correct, you would let me go. Now that you've brought him back, isn't it time to set me free?"0

As soon as the man spoke, Xiu Jie looked up and chuckled lightly.0

"Let you go? Do you think I'm that easy to deal with?"0

"You want to go back on your word?!" The man furrowed his brows.0

Xiu Jie shrugged, his tone dismissive.0

"So what if I do? What can you do to me?"0

The man's chest heaved with anger. "You damn..."0

His words cut off abruptly, and his movements froze.0

Then, his eyes began to lose focus.0

When his head drooped, Xiu Jie let out a disdainful snort and turned back to Ling Jing.0

He fetched a glass of transparent liquid, pried open Ling Jing's mouth, and fed it to him.0

In no time, Ling Jing, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.0

However, his gaze was unfocused, blank.0

Xiu Jie gave Ling Jing a satisfied look, then walked over to the man chained to the wall and unlocked the chains binding him.0

He then led the man to Ling Jing's bedside.0

Grabbing the man's arm, Xiu Jie rolled up his sleeve and placed it near Ling Jing's mouth.0

"Go on, take a bite. Let me see if it really can cause mutation."0

Xiu Jie's eyes gleamed with excitement, tinged with a hint of obsessive madness.0

But Ling Jing just lay there, motionless.0

Not even glancing at him.0

Just as Xiu Jie thought Ling Jing wouldn't cooperate and was about to use mental attacks to force him, Ling Jing tilted his head and glanced at the man's arm before taking a bite.0

"Ahhh!"0

The man, who had been numbed by Xiu Jie's control, was instantly awakened by the pain.0

He struggled to pull his arm away, but Ling Jing held on tightly.0

In the end, due to the excessive force, a whole chunk of flesh was ripped off the man's arm.0

He clutched his arm and cried out in pain.0

He felt the agony piercing his soul.0

At that moment, he regretted it deeply!0

He regretted telling this deranged doctor about Ling Jing being a zombie who maintained a human appearance!0

Yes, he was the one who, by chance, witnessed Ling Jing biting someone at the rice factory and had been spared by Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.0n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Later, he went to Yun City Base but was turned away at the gate.0

"Doctor Xiu, someone has broken in!"0

"Deal with them! Get out of here and stop bothering me!"0

Xiu Jie said with an irritated expression.0

Afterward, he slammed the door shut.0

How annoying, even such a small matter had to disturb him.0

It was delaying his research!0

He frowned and walked back, approaching the hospital bed. He picked up a syringe, squeezed out some liquid, and pressed on Ling Jing's right wrist, ready to inject.0

But just as the needle was about to pierce Ling Jing's skin, a sharp pain struck his head.0

He quickly focused his mental energy to resist.0

Then, he looked surprisedly at Ling Jing on the bed.0

"You...!"0

The previously blank-eyed Ling Jing now had clear, alert eyes.0

His captivating blue eyes sparkled with a mix of mischief, allure, and ruthlessness.0

He gripped the chains binding his body and pulled hard.0

"Bang!"0

The chains snapped!0

He slowly rose and walked toward Xiu Jie.0

Then, he grabbed Xiu Jie's neck with one hand and lifted him off the ground.0

"What, you still want to inject me? Didn't anyone tell you I hate needles the most in this life?"0

Ling Jing gave Xiu Jie a wicked look, tightening his grip.0

Xiu Jie's face turned a deep shade of purple, struggling to breathe.0

Although Xiu Jie had some skills and had even researched zombie cores, extracting a crude evolution serum, when it came to actual strength, ten of him wouldn't be enough to take on Ling Jing.0

Ling Jing's physique was unique, and he couldn't be judged by conventional standards of ability.0

Moreover, he was also a psychic.0

So Xiu Jie's proud abilities were nothing in Ling Jing's eyes.0

Xiu Jie's eyes widened with reluctance.0

Why hadn't anyone told him that the person in front of him was also a powerful psychic?!0

"Let... let me go, and I can... help you return... to normal."0

Xiu Jie managed to squeeze the words out of his throat.0

Seeing Ling Jing's eyes flicker, he thought he was on the right track.0

He quickly continued, "Although you still maintain a human appearance and... sanity, the zombie virus in your body is... spreading more and more.0

The occasional episodes where you lose control and become... disoriented are likely... signs of the virus worsening.0

Let me go, and I promise I will... find a way to remove the remaining virus from your body, allowing you to... return to being a normal human!"0

Xiu Jie spoke haltingly.0

Beneath his desperation, a hint of cunning lurked.0
