Zhou Yun Sheng was awakened by a burst of pain, as if something was drilling into his limbs, devouring his flesh and blood greedily. After experiencing so many dangers, it was an instinct to protect himself, he immediately pushed out his soul force and wrapped up his heart and other vital organs. The pain reduced a lot.
Here was not his Xinghai space, at the moment of death, a very powerful force had wrapped him up and pulled him into the twisting space and time turbulence. That force was very violent, but it didn't hurt him, it even filled his traumatized soul with warmth.
This was a very empty and shabby room, without any decoration or furniture, only the sofa cushions he was lying on. The flood of memories rushed into his mind, so unbearable to the soul that Zhou Yun Sheng couldn't help but moan painfully.
He had returned to the identity of Bai Mo Han and once again returned to his world, but it was already after the protagonists had reborn. According to Bai Mo Han's memory, his fate had not changed, the two protagonists had heard that an army was preparing to escort Dr. Bai to B Base and cleverly mixed in, becoming the army's main force. They killed everyone who had betrayed Lei Chuan before, and was now in charge of Bai Mo's protection.
Just yesterday, Guo Zerui killed the army leaders responsible for escorting Dr. Bai and could've taken Dr. Bai's life, but because his hatred was too deep, he didn't want to let Dr. Bai die a happy death, so he'd quietly sprinkled a few bloodvine seeds into Dr. Bai's diet.
Bloodvine was a plant that was red as blood, the largest was a few millimeters in diameter, while the smallest was thinner than human capillaries. They hide in the soil, and after meeting passing animals or humans, they would quietly puncture their skin like a parasite, travel along the blood vessels and spread throughout the body. It lived daily by eating the flesh and blood of the host, until the host was sucked dry, then it would borrow into the soil to find the next host.
If the plant was cut, it would not die, but grow into two new plants. Its reproductive capability was very powerful, only fire could completely eliminate it. The infected man must find a Plant Warrior in the shortest possible time to remove it, otherwise he would die.
Of course, mankind could even effectively kill zombies, although this plant was terrible, it was not unstoppable. Medical scientists invented a medicine that could make your blood smell disgusting to the bloodvines, after taking the medicine, the bloodvines wouldn't dare get close to your blood, even if it was already in you, it would follow the digestive track to get out.
The inventor of this medicine was none other than Bai Mo Han, but unfortunately, the timeline was in the past, this medicine was not yet available.
Zhou Yun Sheng repeatedly dug his mind to find memories of Lei Chuan and Guo Zerui, he finally determined that the two were really reborn, but they still hated Bai Mo. Unmistakably, whenever they looked at Bai Mo Han their eyes had obvious killing intent.
So that meant Lei Chuan really was brain dead, he didn't know that Bai Mo Han had truly developed the anti-zombie virus vaccine, otherwise, after he took care of all his other enemies he would never treat Bai Mo Han like this.
Fucking pointless, all that effort was in vain! Zhou Yun Sheng fiercely frowned. Now, his task was the same as the last time, save the world, but the difficulty had directly rose to S level. First of all, he needed to remove the bloodvine in order to save his life, secondly, he had to somehow get a sample of Lei Chuan's blood, thirdly, he had to escape from the murderous protagonists and their lackeys and flee to B Base, and finally, he had to repeat the process and develop the vaccine.
The last step was easy, but the first three steps were difficult.
He didn't have plant abilities to control the bloodvine, and he couldn't ask for help from the other people in the team because most of them were Guo Zerui and Lei Chuan's men, all eager to kill him. For now, he could only hope his soul force could expel the bloodvine.
That meant that the little power he'd recovered in his soul would become riddled with holes, which meant his ability could never improve. Spirit strength determined the strength of your ability, and soul strength and spiritual strength were basically the same thing. When the soul was hit, even if you used your ability, it'll be very unimpressive, and no matter how much crystal nuclei you absorbed, it'll be like pushing a clay ox into the sea, useless.
As far as he knew, there was no treasure in this world that could directly repair the soul, so, he'll be equivalent to an ordinary man, defenseless. How can an ordinary man escape from so many high level Warriors, while also successfully getting some of Lei Chuan's blood?
Because Guo Zerui and Lei Chuan were reborn, they'd begun stockpiling food, weapons, and contacts, plus since they knew about the crystal nucleus in advance, they practiced in secret. Now, although it was just 6 months into the Apocalypse, they were already level-4 Warriors, opening a full 5 or 6 year gap between them and everybody else. Even the world's elite couldn't hurt a hair on Lei Chuan's head.
It can be said that killing anyone they wanted was just a matter of lifting a finger.
After reincarnating so many times, this was the first time Zhou Yun Sheng felt so suppressed. But in any case, he had to find a way to complete the task, to get enough energy to repair his soul.
Thinking of this, he began to manipulate his soul force, spreading it all over his body, forcing out the bloodvine bit by bit. When the bit of power he'd gained was finally exhausted, the bloodvine had also entered his digestive track, so he protected his heart and other important organs in advance, otherwise, when he forced it out he wouldn't live for long.
But the damage caused by its feeding was not small, he felt like he was crushed by a truck, a familiar fishy sweet taste overflowed from his most.
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked opened, and a tall figure ran like the wind toward him, shouting excitedly, "Doctor, what's wrong?!"
Bai Mo Han's glasses had broken in the escape, fortunately at this time his vision was not yet half blind, when the other man's distance was only one or two meters away from him Zhou Yun Sheng finally identified him, and his high alert mood relaxed for the moment.
He pushed away the tall man who wanted to hold him up and turned over on the ground to vomit. A constant flow of blood poured out onto the floor, forming a pool of blood. Many small wormlike, blood red things twisted around, reaching out tentacles to search for the nearby warm creatures.
"Stand away, this is bloodvine!" He coughed and pulled the man back quickly.
The man was surprised to hear the words, he immediately used his ability to form a metal partition, blocking the bloodvine's spider web thin tentacles. This plant must not be cut, cutting would only breed more, only fire could stop their searching approach.
But there was only the two of them in the room, where could they get fire ability?
The man's abilities had not yet reached the level to cover his body in metal, he could only make a layer of metal to wrap around his legs, then he picked up the doctor and ran outside.
This was a suite, three bedrooms and one living room, Bai Mo Han was arranged in the back bedroom, the rest of the rooms had Lei Chuan subordinates and the survivors they'd rescued on the road.
Guo Zerui and Lei Chuan had told their subordinates that Bai Mo Han was an evil scientist that uses humans for experiments, he was the Apocalypse's harbinger, so no matter what they heard they couldn't interfere with Bai Mo's life and death. And the survivors were scared of zombies, unless they needed to, they absolutely wouldn't run around openly.
So until the sound of the door being forced open sounded, no one came out to see the commotion.
The man ran to the gate while holding the doctor, who kept coughing up blood. He was also a soldier, and he was under B Base, but he hadn't participated in the task of escorting Dr. Bai. Fortunately, when he was reborn he'd collected a lot of supplies outside, it was not far away from Dr. Bai's location, so he wanted to immediately capture a military jeep and hurry over to it.
Here was a high-income district, security measures were already in place, so Lei Chuan had moved in and cleaned it up, specifically using it to accommodate survivors, in order to observe and recruit new subordinates. In this rebirth, they wanted to set up their own forces, and talent was indispensable.
The man had taken off his uniform for casual clothes, pretending to be an ordinary survivor, using a lot of effort to mix in.
When he'd heard that the B Base army had been inexpiably wiped out, and now Lei Chuan and Guo Zerui were leading special forces to escort Dr. Bai, plus Lei Chuan and Guo Zerui were level-4s who had long known the secret of crystal nucleus cultivation, his heart had immediately shook.
He was reborn, found that the circumstances were completely inconsistent with his memory and wanted to learn a little more. That night, he'd selected a room opposite Dr. Bai's room in another house to live, and observed Dr. Bai with an infrared telescope. When he found him lying on the ground vomiting blood non-stop, the scene reminded him of the Dr. Bai in the past that was near death. At that time he could only helplessly watch him, so he immediately ran over to help him now.
Lei Chuan and his subordinates hated Dr. Bai's cruelty, but the survivors knew that Dr. Bai was the top medical scientist in China, and that he was heading to B Base to research a zombie virus vaccine. They saw him as the country's hope and naturally didn't want to see him killed, so several other bases' armies were lurking around, trying to take Dr. Bai away.
This was also another reason why Guo Zerui used the bloodvine to kill Dr. Bai.
As long as the man rescued Dr. Bai from the room, and Dr. Bai was no longer under Lei Chuan's reach, he'd have time to plan how to escape with Dr. Bai.
The man thought through a lot, but it was only a few blinks of the eye. He ran out of the bloodvine room and was ready to accelerate but suddenly stopped, his eyes showing deep fear.
Lei Chuan was standing straight in his path, his eyes bloodshot, so his pupil reflected a red light, he looked like a dreadful, irrational beast. He stared at the man who kept coughing blood, and a few bulging veins emerged on his forehead, his jaw clenched. He looked as stiff as a sculpture and was visibly on the brink of violence.
He was filled with a menacing and fierce atmosphere, he slowly opened, "Give him to me!"
Zhou Yun Sheng forcibly climbed the other man's neck, his dark eyes had no other emotion except for alertness. The assassination plan failed, so Lei Chuan wanted to do it himself?
Lei Chuan met his guarded look, and his gloominess deepened.
"Give him back to me!" He stepped forward to snatch him way, but found a dense layer of silk-like objects gushing out of the room and slowly climbing his feet.
