"I don’t know either."
Tang Ming shook his head, "Let’s not ddle in others’ affairs. We’ll just stay here quietly, ensuring... Oh no!"
Just as Tang Ming was speaking, he quickly grabbed Hua Yingjie’s collar and jumped out of the concrete pipe.
"Boom!"
Just as Tang Ming and Hua Yingjie left, the concrete pipe exploded violently.
"What’s happening?"
Hua Yingjie looked bewildered, following Tang Ming closely.
"Roar, roar!"
A silhouette burst out from the shattered concrete pipe—a creature with ripped clothes, bulging muscles all over its body, and a ferocious face appeared before them.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The creature stared with blood-red eyes, drooling as it fixated intently on Tang Ming and Hua Yingjie.
"What... what is this thing?"
Hua Yingjie, still with many silver needles on his body, cried out in terror.
"This should be a poisoned person, it’s just that the mutation is different from the previous poisoned individuals. It’s more intense and more violent."
Tang Ming looked grimly at the creature. He originally thought that this assessnt would end after quietly staying for twelve hours, but the situation in front of him was clearly not that simple.
"Roar, roar, roar."
The creature let out a roar and began to recklessly destroy everything in sight.
"What should we do?"
Hua Yingjie nervously clung to Tang Ming’s clothes.
"Don’t engage directly, fighting in this situation is disadvantageous for us."
Tang Ming pulled Hua Yingjie and imdiately ran towards Tang Xinhai’s direction, "This thing has no consciousness, it’s causing destruction purely by instincts. As long as we don’t provoke it, we should be safe."
"I hope we’ll be safe. This thing’s strength is imnse, comparable to a martial master."
Hua Yingjie looked back in fear and only relaxed when he saw the creature wasn’t following.
"If I rember correctly, that person should be an ordinary college student. For an ordinary person to suddenly exert destructive power equivalent to a martial master... no wonder so many people want to study this venom, it’s terrifying."
Tang Ming’s expression was frighteningly dark. If people truly succeed in researching this, they could easily create an army of martial master-level strength.
Soon, Tang Ming pulled Hua Yingjie to Tang Xinhai’s hiding place.
"You really are troubleso."
Tang Xinhai looked helplessly at Tang Ming, "If I had known this, I shouldn’t have taught you the use of Dust Gu, it’s like shooting myself in the foot."
"Alright, alright, it’s co to this, we’re all in the sa boat. If the two of us join forces, we’ll definitely be very safe."
Tang Ming pulled Hua Yingjie over to Tang Xinhai’s side and laughed cheekily.
"Soone’s already mutated. Judging by the situation, this virus is more terrifying than what we’ve seen before with the poisonous individuals—it can drastically increase an ordinary person’s strength. I’ve estimated that four people are poisoned; three have the strength equivalent to a Four-star Martial Master, and one has unleashed destructive power equivalent to a Five-star Martial Master."
Tang Xinhai didn’t say much, as he manipulated the Dust Gu to investigate and explained simultaneously.
"I sensed it too. It seems that 24 people are still unhard, but if things continue this way, even fewer might pass."
Tang Ming, also manipulating the Dust Gu, nodded repeatedly.
"Wait! Only four people are poisoned, why are there only 24 people left, what happened to the other three?"
Hua Yingjie hurriedly asked the question.
"One had their head blown off, another was dismbered, the last was killed by Bai Shengqi."
Tang Xinhai explained with a smile.
"Killed... Is Bai Shengqi dead?"
Hua Yingjie quickly asked.
"No, after all, that guy does have martial master cultivation. He can handle these mindless and irrational monsters, self-preservation isn’t a problem."
Tang Ming shook his head.
"Damn it! This wretch is like a tireless pest! Why did he kill soone?"
Hua Yingjie cursed, utterly puzzled.
"To grab the antidote I distributed to others. Had they stayed still, Bai Shengqi could have managed, but he’s at the outbreak point of those infected. With such intense activity, he couldn’t hold out, so to save his own life, he killed a contestant who possessed my antidote and is now hiding."
Tang Ming explained coldly.
"Haha, Bai Shengqi actually couldn’t hold out. Seems like my dical skills surpass his indeed."
Hua Yingjie laughed triumphantly.
"You sticking close to us two, even wanting to get poisoned probably won’t be that easy."
Tang Xinhai gave Hua Yingjie a disdainful look, which made him jump in fright, "What happened to you?"
"Hiss, hiss, rip."
Tang Ming also gasped as he looked at Hua Yingjie.
At this mont, Hua Yingjie was lying on the ground, his body and limbs swollen beyond recognition, and his clothes were all torn.
"What are those expressions, do I look okay?"
Hua Yingjie lay on the ground, bewildered, looking at Tang Ming and Tang Xinhai.
"Don’t you feel that sothing’s wrong with your body?"
Tang Ming asked, puzzled, as he looked at Hua Yingjie.
"Bro, I’ve already sealed my acupoints, my body is in a state of feigned death. Though I can move, it’s essentially like being a zombie, without sensation."
Hua Yingjie rolled his eyes, "Is there sothing wrong with my body? Eh, why can’t I move my neck?"
Tang Ming looked bewildered at Tang Xinhai; Hua Yingjie’s neck and head were swollen, with his neck as thick as his waist before, movent was impossible.
"Why are you looking at , quickly detoxify him."
Tang Xinhai glared at Tang Ming with displeasure, "Such a nuisance, I was hiding here comfortably by myself, and you brought a poisoned guy."
"I’m poisoned?"
Hua Yingjie shouted incredulously, eyes wide, "Impossible, I’ve sealed my acupoints, how could I be poisoned?"
"I was careless."
Tang Ming looked guilty as he stared at Hua Yingjie, "The air here is filled with toxins, everything is covered with the virus. By inserting silver needles into your body, you essentially injected the virus directly into yourself, my antidote can’t handle this situation."
"Your antidote was developed for the poisoned individuals, but the ancient poison here is clearly more potent than the poison on those individuals; it’s ineffective."
Tang Xinhai began to explain coldly.
"Oh my god! So I’m really poisoned. Please, save , I don’t want to turn into one of those terrible monsters."
Hua Yingjie almost cried.
"Don’t worry, you’re much better-looking than those monsters."
Tang Ming looked over Hua Yingjie, who had turned into a balloon-like figure, and imdiately began to help diagnose.
"Eh!"
After checking, Tang Ming exclaid in surprise.
"What’s wrong? You should be able to detoxify him, right?"
Tang Xinhai looked at Tang Ming with curiosity.
"Detoxification isn’t a problem, but the thing is, he’s not poisoned."
Tang Ming shook his head, responding in confusion.
