170: Section 170

What's more, entering the armor would result in immediate death.

Although the test subjects in the video were xinghong disease patients, who could guarantee that a normal person wouldn't die?

Charles was burning his bridges!

4068 had no way out now; he could only do as Charles ordered.

4068 pressed his communicator, "Leader, I've found the lin yuan zhe armor. It's in Dr. Carrie's lab."

"Good! We're coming over immediately!"

"What are you doing?"

A sudden voice from behind sent a chill down 4068's spine.

He was all too familiar with this voice.

4068 stiffened and turned his head to see 4079 staring intently at him!

4079 asked again, "4068, what are you doing?"

4068 scratched his head, feigning nonchalance, and said, "I was cleaning and ended up here without realizing it. I didn't know what this thing was, so I was just curious and took a look..."

4079's gaze was solemn; he knew what 4068 was up to. "4068, don't lie to me! 4277 just took you to work in the cafeteria kitchen today. Why would you come to Dr. Carrie's lab to clean? And who were you just talking to?"

4068's face darkened as he asked, "How did you end up here?"

"You sneak into the lab, and you're asking me?"

4068 had actually come to the lab openly, but the Upper Citizens on the way treated him as if he were invisible. Only his childhood friend had noticed him and followed him all the way here.

"4068, you barely managed to get your life back. Can't you just stay out of trouble?" 4079 questioned. "Are you working for Charles again?"

4079 had just heard 4068 say 'Leader.' Who else could that Leader be if not Charles?

"4079, leave quickly. Just pretend you didn't see me today!"

"How can I pretend I didn't see you!" 4079 roared. "4277 and I have been worried sick about you. Now that you've finally gotten out, you're still being restless! 4277 told me to keep an eye on you precisely because she was afraid you'd do something stupid again!"

"Stupid? What's stupid!" 4068 roared back. "When I was captured by Charles, who was it for! If I had been able to kill Jing Yuan back then, I wouldn't be like this today! As long as Jing Yuan exists, I'll never have a chance to rise! I have no choice but to side with Charles!"

"Do you want to die?"

4068 was stunned.

4079 cursed, "How do you think you survived? How do you think Charles survived? Do you think that by siding with Charles, you'll be able to kill Jing Yuan?"

"Who says the Leader can't kill Jing Yuan!"

A haughty and cold voice called out.

The two arguing men looked toward the door and saw the Light Bearer, Vandy, walking in with a squad of people.

Vandy didn't spare 4079 a glance. She walked straight over and said, "Dust Citizen, I'll give you a chance. Side with the Leader, and you'll get the same opportunity as 4068!"

4079 looked at Vandy, then at 4068, and said hurriedly, "4068, don't get involved in this!"

Vandy stopped looking at 4079. She tossed a gun to 4068 and then walked toward the lin yuan zhe armor.

"Deal with him!"

Vandy's voice came from behind.

4068 showed a terrified and conflicted expression.

4079, however, looked composed. He looked at 4068 and asked one last question: "4068, are you still going to insist on having your own way?"

He looked at Vandy beside him and continued to 4068, "Right now, you still have a choice!"

"4079... I have no choice!"

4079 saw no remorse in 4068's eyes. In despair, he picked up his communicator and said, "Mo Dong..."

Hearing 4079 preparing to send word, 4068's mind raced through many thoughts in an instant.

If he let 4079 report this, all their efforts would be in vain!

In that moment, he made a ruthless decision!

Bang!

4079's eyes widened. He never imagined that his childhood friend of many years would actually shoot him!

Hearing the gunshot, Vandy didn't even turn her head as she said, "You're a ruthless one!"

Chapter 173: miracle potion

Vandy checked the research logs for the lin yuan zhe armor while simultaneously opening a channel to Charles.

"Leader!"

"Vandy, how is it going?"

"Carrie's research on the lin yuan zhe armor currently has two plans. The first plan is an idea from over a decade ago; she wanted to build a bridge to the Abyss Depther by implanting mana spores into the human body. Unfortunately, the human bodies turned into flesh soil after the mana spores were implanted, so the experiment couldn't proceed at all.

The second plan is to use live subjects directly. However, the subjects she could get were only xinghong disease patients, and they would have a rejection reaction and die on the spot upon entering. As for healthy live experiments, they have never been approved!"

"Time is of the essence, hurry up!"

"Yes."

Vandy glanced behind her and said coldly, "Mude, go!"

"Yes!"

From behind Vandy, a young man wearing a Law Enforcer's robe stepped forward.

This Mude was a fanatical believer in Charles and would do anything for him.

Now, when Vandy told him to enter the lin yuan zhe armor, he didn't hesitate for a moment.

Mude took off his outer coat and walked to the back of the lin yuan zhe armor.

The back of the armor opened, and mucus-covered tentacles actually extended from within.

Seeing this, Mude began to feel regret.

He didn't know that the Dust Citizens who entered the armor before had instantly turned into a blood mist.

He thought this was just a normal experiment.

But now, he regretted it!

But it was too late!

Vandy stood behind Mude and gave him a push. Mude's body crashed inside and was then entangled by the tentacles inside the armor, which pulled him completely in.

The lin yuan zhe armor gave a shudder.

Vandy watched the armor without blinking.

Suddenly, a low laugh came from the armor, "Hahaha, I'm fine! Great! I'm fine!"

"Mude?" Vandy called out.

The lin yuan zhe armor's eyes glowed red as it turned to stare at Vandy, making her heart tremble involuntarily.

"It's me, Light Bearer!"

A smile appeared on Vandy's cold face. It had actually succeeded just like that!

It turned out that driving the Abyss Depther only required a healthy body.

Then what the hell had Carrie been researching all these years!

"What are you doing?"

A squad of Wasteland Hunters rushed in from outside the lab, led by Mo Dong.

Mo Dong had just received a communication from 4079, but the other party had been cut off before he could finish speaking.

And before it was cut off, he had heard a gunshot.

Based on the positioning from the communicator, Mo Dong quickly rushed to the Ecology Laboratory.

As soon as he entered, he saw this scene before him.

"What kind of thing is this?"

The lin yuan zhe armor was like a humanoid beast; anyone who saw it would inevitably feel a sense of dread.

Vandy smiled slightly and said to Mude, "Just in time, test the power of the armor!"

"Alright!"

Mude took a sprinting stance and, with just a bit of effort, shot forward.

Because he didn't control his strength well, he directly slammed into a Wasteland Hunter, killing him.

"Fire!" Mo Dong ordered decisively.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets hit the lin yuan zhe armor, but it was completely unharmed.

"What kind of monster is this?" Mo Dong was dumbfounded.
