So this was the truth.
A flash of divine light appeared in Chen Gou's mind, and he said while suppressing his excitement, "Does your innate skill allow you to tame zombies only or all magical creatures?"
"What's the difference?"
The man was startled. In the Abyss of Resident Evil, zombies were the only magical creature he had seen besides human Awakeners.
It seemed that he checked his innate skill's description before replying, "I have the ability to tame all magical creatures except human Awakeners."
"That's good!"
Chen Gou, who was delighted, smiled slightly and said, "I won't kill your Little Panda, but you'll help me. How's that?"
"How should I help you?"
"It's a long story. Are you interested in joining my team? I can at least guarantee that you'll be the last member of my team to die besides me."
"I killed your teammates, and instead of coming after me, you want me to join your team?" The man looked at Chen Gou in doubt.
"You mean those three in the car?"
Chen Gou treated the matter lightly and answered, "They're not exactly my teammates. We were just forced to be together for the time being. I never trusted them, and I would have found a chance to finish them off even without you. You'll know why later."
"Then why would you trust me?"
"Because we're Chinese!" Chen Gou said solemnly. "I believe that a man who became a panda's nanny before a disaster is not a two-faced or perfidious person no matter what."
Chen Gou spoke to the man with dignity, but in fact, Chen Gou's trust in men was based on his own judgment.
Given his innate skill to tame zombies, he definitely had a rare talent. If he was a corrupt and bad person, he would have joined the Blood Umbrella Organization long ago and led a good life. Why would he have ended up like this?
Only a fool who was still holding on to the last part of his conscience would end up in such a miserable state.
The fact that he had manipulated the zombie attack on the Bloodsucker Team was proof that he was not a member of the Blood Umbrella Organization.
"You're from the Blood Umbrella Organization?" The man looked at the red Blood Umbrella Organization mark on Chen Gou's chest and stopped talking.
"I was trapped in prison, so I had no choice but to join the evil side."
In order to gain the man's trust, Chen Gou only told him that the Blood Umbrella Organization had held him captive and he had been forced to join the organization in order to stay alive.
"I will definitely find a chance to break free from the Blood Umbrella Organization and even eradicate it if possible, but I will need your help with all of this," Chen Gou said with utmost sincerity.
"You have convinced me. Unfortunately…"
The man shook his head and said with a bitter smile as he coughed, "I was severely injured once. Although I survived, my vitality is so severely depleted that I can't live much longer. That's why I came back here with Little Panda. I'm afraid I can't help you."
"As long as you are still alive, vitality is not a problem."
Chen Gou took a vial of bloodworm essence extract out of the storage space and handed it over before saying with a smile, "This potion will not help you fully recover, but it will at least give you three to five more years of life. When we get a hold of the Blood Umbrella Organization's virus research institute, won't developing a virus to increase lifespan be just a matter of time?"
"You want to control the Blood Umbrella Organization's virus research institute? Do you have other helpers?"
"I don't. It's just the two of us."
The man looked at Chen Gou as if he was crazy.
At that moment, Angeline, Arrowhawk, and the rest opened the door of the deformed armored car and dragged Blackface and the other two out.
It was a tragic sight.
One of them was dead, while the other two were seriously injured!
Renegade had died, and Blackface and Broken Tail had suffered serious injuries.
The zombie panda was as high as Level 19 and had more terrifying power than the Level-17 human zombie they had met during the day. The several-ton armored car was basically an iron toy in its hands.
If Chen Gou hadn't made it reveal itself in time, the three people in the car, including Blackface, would have been smashed to death.
"Captain, quick, save me…"
Broken Tail lay on the ground on the verge of death. A steel pipe had pierced diagonally his chest cavity through his left shoulder. He only had about 10% HP left and was still bleeding.
Chen Gou looked at the Demon Huntress and asked with a half-smile, "Arrowhawk, do you think we should save him?"
Arrowhawk trembled slightly. After taking a deep breath, she crouched in front of the strong man lying on the ground and pulled a dagger out of her boot. With a cold flash of light, she slit the throat of Broken Tail, who was begging!
"Ksitigarbha, don't kill me. I can give you all my magical artifacts!" Blackface sat up from fright, looking very pale.
If he, Broken Tail, and Renegade had all been unscathed, they could have naturally stuck together. Even if they had fallen out with Chen Gou and had been no match for him, they could still have run.
They had spent the night in the armored car alone because they had been on guard against Chen Gou.
However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often went awry. They had been targeted by the true zombie lord because they had been alone and had ended up getting seriously injured without even seeing their enemy.
Chen Gou said faintly, "When you die, everything you have will naturally be mine."
"I can fight for you. I've awakened my bloodline, and Arrowhawk is no match for me either. The Bloodsucker Team's combat power will be reduced greatly without me!"
Blackface spoke while breathing heavily. He could do anything to survive.
"No need for that. I have a safer way to get you to do what I say."
Chen Gou took out a handcuff that could restrict magic and put it on Blackface, making sure that he couldn't even cause trouble. He then lifted him with one hand and looked at the panda breeder. "Take me to a hiding place."
"Just you?" the breeder asked in confusion. He didn't think that Chen Gou could handle it alone without any of his teammates if Little Panda launched an attack.
"Just me. Bring Little Panda along," Chen Gou said with a faint smile.
He still had two trump cards. He had the Rebirth Sword, and he could use the Wrath of Solari after morphing into the Radiant Dawn.
Just now, he had only used the first stage of Wrath of Solari and had not condensed the Solari Giant Warrior. Therefore, the breeder wasn't aware of how powerful the aftermath of this skill was.
This was his last test for the breeder. If he passed it, it would prove that Chen Gou was right and that this panda nanny was worth believing.
"Follow me."
The breeder had trouble moving and straddled the panda's back, so the zombie panda stood up and staggered forward with its feet turned inward.
The sunburns on its body and the arrow wound on its chest had actually recovered by now, which showed its strong recovery ability.
Chen Gou thought, What a nice panda… Is it possible to try and cultivate a group of them to use them as mounts?
When he had been on Earth, he had fantasized about being able to raise a panda and walk down the street with it. That feeling could only be described as…
Impressive!
Besides, the panda was cute and had shocking combat power. Ancient people used to call pandas iron-eating beasts, and a panda had also been the mount of fiend celestial Chi You.
Once he had control of the Blood Umbrella Organization's lab, he could try developing a bloodline virus that could help pandas evolve so that this race would become even more impressive.
However, he could only think about it, as he currently was not qualified to implement this plan yet.
He had asked the breeder to bring him to a hiding place for a reason.
When Chen Gou arrived at an abandoned storage room where Angeline and the rest could not see him, he took the lead box containing the progenitor bloodworm out of the storage space.
He then opened it and revealed the progenitor bloodworm, which resembled a red earthworm, before he looked at the breeder and said, "This magical creature is around Level 20 to 30. Are you confident about taming it?"
The breeder probed the bloodworm with his mind and said with a deep frown, "I'm only at Level 10. Usually, I am always able to succeed if the creature isn't 10 levels higher than me and doesn't resist. It will be quite difficult if it's 10 levels higher. However, if the target is in a weak state, the success rate can also increase."
"Then tame this progenitor bloodworm until you succeed!"
How would Chen Gou gain control over the virus lab?
He would transform Dr. Andric and the other researchers into vampires!
