Chapter 25 The Undead Koshcher
The howling wind suddenly stopped, and the grinning face froze.
The pain of a chicken flying and an egg breaking has exceeded the human body's tolerance threshold. Moreover, Wu Jincheng's situation is no longer just a chicken flying and an egg breaking, but rather the chicken and the egg being smashed into a pulp.
An unprecedented wave of excruciating pain swept over him, making Wu Jincheng's face even more contorted, his eyes seemingly about to bulge out of their sockets.
He seemed about to let out a mournful wail, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he uttered the sound, and then collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
The flesh that had been forcibly held together by sheer force loosened, and blood oozed from the bullet wound. A huge blood hole in his abdomen was gushing blood like a spring.
He died, killed by Bai Ze, a prey that no one paid much attention to.
"Finally, it's over."
Bai Ze collapsed to the ground, completely disregarding his germaphobia that had just surfaced. "One after another, do they think I'm an Arch-King?"
Luo Tao and Zhang Jueming are one thing, but Wu Jincheng is truly strong.
He was undoubtedly a two-star martial artist, and in terms of pure strength, he completely surpassed Bai Ze. Just one palm strike had severely injured Bai Ze's left arm; another palm strike might just send Bai Ze on his second transmigration.
pity······
Bai Ze glanced at the gun in his hand. "This thing is still the best."
If I hadn't gotten the gun, I really wouldn't have been able to get through this.
He let out a long breath, relaxed, and then his head started to spin.
After fighting three times in a row and using the "words become law" technique multiple times, Bai Ze was exhausted, both physically and mentally. He was starting to feel the strain.
"Tsk, hang in there."
Bai Ze forced himself to use the "words become law" technique to heal himself again, and then laboriously raised his left hand.
The smart bracelet on my wrist has a few scratches, but overall it looks perfectly usable, which shows that the bracelet is quite durable.
"Disrupt the signal jammer."
With his mouth open, another surge of spiritual energy was released, and the machine that was shielding the signal was directly destroyed by the power of his words.
Such sophisticated equipment did not require too much mental energy.
"Open the dialer and call Zhong Jing's number."
The smart bracelet lights up and begins dialing.
This time, I finally got through.
"Feed".
Zhong Jing's voice came through, along with what sounded like gunshots.
It seems he gained something from that side as well.
According to Wu Jincheng, the Sacred Heart Cult did indeed plant a spy at the Tiger Might Martial Arts School, and Zhong Jing's investigation was on the right track. Unfortunately, this direction was deliberately misleading by Wu Jincheng.
This guy is really cunning; he's probably thinking of betraying his teammates to get through this.
Cultists are not easy to deal with in Dongxia. Even if they can defeat Zhong Jing, there are still martial artists of a higher level who will take action.
It's a classic case of "beating the young ones brings in the old ones, and beating the old ones brings in even older ones," ensuring that cult members enjoy the treatment of protagonists in novels.
Wu Jincheng clearly knew this, so he was thinking of selling out his teammates to avoid trouble, and also dragging that Deputy Director Qi down with him.
If he hadn't revealed his weakness two days earlier, perhaps Wu Jincheng would have played his role well and become a hero who took the lead in annihilating the cultists.
With many thoughts flashing through his mind, Bai Ze glanced at Wu Jincheng, who lay dead with his eyes wide open, and was somewhat distracted, so he did not answer immediately.
"Hey? Bai Ze, what happened?" Zhong Jing's voice became urgent from the other end.
"Something terrible has happened. Wu Jincheng is also a cult member," Bai Ze said weakly. "Hurry up, senior, or your investment will be ruined."
"Wait here, I'll be right there."
Zhong Jing on the other side became even more anxious, and you could hear him shouting Fu Wanqing's name.
Bai Ze lowered his arm and looked at the surveillance camera ten meters away.
The surveillance cameras had already been turned off before Wu Jincheng appeared, so they didn't capture the fight between Bai Ze and Wu Jincheng. The previous footage had likely also been disposed of by Wu Jincheng.
However, just to be on the safe side...
"The monitoring equipment is overheating and burning," Bai Ze whispered.
Black smoke billowed from the building ahead, and a burnt smell entered Bai Ze's nostrils.
He smelled the burning odor growing stronger and stronger, guessing that the entire equipment was on fire.
His head grew increasingly dizzy, and when the familiar black car came into view, Bai Ze finally couldn't hold back and collapsed.
······
······
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a snow-white ceiling and smelled disinfectant and various medicines.
His left arm was in a cast and bandages, and even his shoulder was wrapped up, while his right hand was connected to an IV drip.
"You're awake." Zhong Jing sat on the edge of the hospital bed, turned off the projector on his phone, and looked up at Bai Ze.
"Was the surgery a success?" Bai Ze raised an eyebrow.
"It's a pity you didn't have the surgery, so you can't become a cute girl."
Zhong Jing chuckled, then said with amazement, "It's unbelievable that you killed a two-star martial artist and your injuries didn't even warrant surgery."
"Can you confirm Wu Jincheng's identity?" Bai Ze asked.
He was genuinely afraid that something else might go wrong in this regard, and he would end up being the murderer of the security guard.
"The evil techniques of the Sacred Heart Sect will cause the practitioner's heart to turn purplish-red, and their acupoints will also undergo abnormalities. These can all be detected through autopsy," Zhong Jing said. "Wu Jincheng's cultivation level was also detected through autopsy. I really didn't expect that my former friend would become a cult member."
"What about the people in the orphanage? And how are my friends?" Bai Ze asked again.
"The orphanage director and the children were all locked in the warehouse by Luo Tao, but they've all been rescued now. As for your friend Luo Tao, he's quite resolute; he's managed to refrain from eating human hearts, but unfortunately..."
Zhong Jing shook his head and said, "You need to be mentally prepared. The best outcome for him is that he will be imprisoned indefinitely and suffer torment."
"His problem can't be solved?" Bai Ze frowned slightly. "With technology so advanced these days, I've heard that some people in the Western Union are even using prosthetic bodies to replace their hearts."
What martial arts can't solve, technology might be able to solve.
Moreover, after logging into the Star Network, Bai Ze already knew that there were high-tech worlds in the worlds that intersected with Earth.
The reason why the Western Alliance developed cyber martial arts and caught up with the Eastern Xia was because it obtained a large amount of technical data that could be described as cutting-edge technology from that world.
"Those kinds of prosthetic bodies aren't cheap, and Luo Tao's problem isn't just his heart."
Zhong Jing sighed and said, "Most cult members are spiritually corrupted by evil gods and are basically unable to turn back. The Sacred Heart Cult is a bit special. This cult did not originate from an evil god, but the problem may be more troublesome."
"This sect is a branch of the Order of Immortality, and the leader of the Order of Immortality, the Undead Kosh'e, was once the top biologist in Ursus."
Kosh'e, the Undead, was the first top biologist in Ursus and one of the first elite warriors to emerge after the worlds converged.
It is said that Koche has seen through the fundamental mystery of life. He combines biology and martial arts, and can arbitrarily modify life, and even give life to it.
However, based on current knowledge, Koshche possesses the ability to transform his body, turning into various wild beasts and monsters, and even survived having his brain pierced. His cultivation method likely involves genetics, and he is highly probable capable of altering his genes through his own will.
If the Sacred Heart Cult's techniques originated from Kosh'e, then Luo Tao's problems are not simply related to his heart; there are other aspects as well. To resolve the issue, one must either seek help from the higher-ups of the Eternal Life Cult or replace Luo Tao entirely.
The ward fell silent.
