“Hmm…”
Just three seconds later, Wen Yu withdrew his right hand. He looked at Qin Shiyuan, who was on the sofa, slowly opening her eyes while holding her forehead, and nodded to the people behind him.
“I have severed the connection between Qin Shiyuan and the other hosts. She will not be disturbed by this incident, but that’s all. My research on this seed is not deep, and I cannot find a way to separate it in a short time.”
“Godfather! There’s one more thing. Is this method of severing the connection something that only you can perform?”
“Yes, only I have the ability to sever this kind of perception.”
This question and answer meant that besides Qin Shiyuan, there was no large-scale solution for the seed hosts in Beijing.
Thus, they were left with only one outcome.
“Directly clear out the hosts that have already been found and the ones that will be found. Be decisive and don’t let them suffer too much pain. As for these twelve death warriors…”
After saying this, Wen Yu cast his gaze towards the twelve artificial seed hosts lying in the isolation chamber—looking at it now, this step truly was a bad move.
However, no one had the ability to predict the future, right?
“Let’s leave them as they are. We need samples to monitor and study what might happen next.”
It was still Gul who spoke. Upon hearing this, Wen Yu nodded slightly.
“Then I leave this to you. Remember, be ruthless and control the influence of this matter to a minimum.”
“Yes!”
…
After Wen Yu left, Qin Shiyuan also freed herself from the chaos in her mind. She sat up straight and looked at the few people around her.
“Aunt Qin, can you still remember what happened just now?”
Qin Shiyuan thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head.
“I only saw a tree and a shadow of a person, and then I can’t remember anything else.”
Even though it was the expected answer, Gul still felt a bit disappointed upon hearing it. He looked up at the twelve death warriors still trapped in sleep and then turned to Arthur.
“Uncle Arthur, how many hosts did we find in total just now?”
“Eighty-nine, including both humans and mutated creatures…”
“This number is really too small.”
Tang Hao beside them sighed—the spirit of the demon lord truly didn’t leave them much time. It was likely that as soon as the first stem was destroyed, the spirit of the demon lord had already started preparing the seeds.
“Why don’t we try again?”
At that moment, Tang Hao looked at Qin Shiyuan, his eyes seemingly flashing with some kind of light. Upon hearing this, Qin Shiyuan nodded.
“I think we can try once more.”
“No need…”
Before Arthur and Qin Tian could voice their objections, Gul rejected the proposal. After finishing, he pointed to the twelve death warriors in the isolation room.
“It has already begun.”
…
First there were convulsions, then flesh and blood decayed…
What happened before everyone’s eyes was truly terrifying.
It was as if there was some monster inside their bodies that devoured everything; the bodies of the twelve death warriors shrank rapidly, transforming in a short time into the appearance of mummified corpses.
However…
“The life force has not only not decreased, but has instead been continuously enhanced.”
Tang Hao opened his eyes wide, staring intently at the “sample,” speaking rapidly.
“Also, it can now be perceived that another entity exists within these bodies. This thing is growing, getting larger… it’s coming out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, strands of vines of different colors emerged from the facial features of the twelve death warriors. They writhed, resembling vicious snakes.
The bloody and bizarre scene made Qin Shaoan narrow his eyes, but the expressions of the others remained unchanged; they simply stared at these death warriors until the speed of their convulsions reached its peak!
In the next second, the death warriors infected by the seeds suddenly sat up from the ground with a “bang.” They swayed their heads, moved their necks, and the vines emerging from their eyes seemed to replace their eyesight. After the vines surveyed everything around them, the twelve death warriors immediately let out beast-like roars, followed by flickering lights and shadows…
