TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Confession Without Torture

His heart pounded again, the sound so clear it was like the ringing of a bell in Lu Yunzhou’s ears.

His internal organs’ key areas had been repaired, and his senses were returning, accompanied by intense pain.

As the pain surged, Lu Yunzhou let out a miserable scream, his face contorting, his feet scraping the ground, his body tense.

At this moment, he felt he might as well be dead.

Cold sweat poured down him, his teeth chattering as he pleaded with Xie YunChuan, “Save… save me!”

White Tiger Cub was dumbfounded, retreating behind Luo Shuyou. This guy was acting like he’d been wronged! It had clearly healed him, so why was he in more pain, about to die?

It wasn’t its fault if he died; it was just strictly following Xie YunChuan’s orders, not exerting any extra effort. It had done everything it was supposed to.

White Tiger Cub didn’t understand, but Xie YunChuan did. Despite Lu Yunzhou’s current appearance of being a million times more painful than before, he was actually out of danger and wouldn’t die easily.

“Stop struggling, a big man like you won’t die from a little pain. Good, let it be a lesson to you.” To stop him from confusing people with ghosts all the time.

Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou gritted his teeth and fell silent. As Xie YunChuan thought, Lu Yunzhou also knew that although he was in unbearable pain, he wouldn’t die.

He should feel the pain and remember it well. In the future, he would make those people pay their blood debts.

Luo Shuyou lost interest, yawning. He was tired of standing, shaking Xie YunChuan’s arm, he looked up at him sleepily with open arms, “YunChuan,… hug, sleep… sleep!”

Xie YunChuan held him in his arms, gently patting his back to soothe him, frowning as he looked at the mess on the floor.

And the stiff corpse lying there, somewhat familiar, at least he’d seen him before. He should be one of those who had been observing and coveting Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou these past few days.

Looking at the claw marks on his neck, it was White Tiger Cub’s handiwork.

Hmm…? There was an energy fluctuation. Xie YunChuan rotated his wrist and gently waved his hand. A thin vine curved and extended to Su Genglie’s forehead, pausing for a moment, as if finding the right place to cut in.

After pinpointing the spot, the vine tip retreated slightly and then suddenly thrust into it. The sound of flesh and bone breaking and digging into flesh and blood was particularly clear in the silent night.

Lu Yunzhou shuddered at the sound, biting his lip even tighter, and suddenly felt he wasn’t in so much pain anymore.

He wouldn’t forget that he was also an ability user now, and he was also at risk of having his crystal core dug out.

After a while, a bloody, angular crystal core was extracted, suspended far away in mid-air. A stream of water swirled along the thin vine to the tip, washing the vine and the crystal core clean.

Only then did the thin vine retract back to Xie YunChuan, showing him the spoils.

Closer, the perception became clearer. Xie YunChuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Was this a water-type ability user’s crystal core?

The entire crystal block was crystal clear with a faint light blue tint. It was the first time Xie YunChuan had directly seen an ability user’s crystal core, and it felt very clear and clean. Even the energy fluctuations radiated a kind of refreshing attraction.

Unlike zombie crystal cores, although they looked equally crystal clear, beautiful, and tempting, the feeling of turbidity and discomfort they gave was impossible to ignore.

If it weren’t for the very obvious and enticing energy fluctuations within, no one would think of playing with or absorbing a zombie crystal core.

Whether it was because Xie YunChuan was also a water-type ability user or what, this crystal core made Xie YunChuan feel an almost uncontrollable urge to absorb it immediately.

He had absorbed so many zombie crystal cores, it wouldn’t hurt to absorb one more ability user’s crystal core.

Following his instinctive desire, Xie YunChuan reached out to the crystal core, using his water-type ability to draw energy outward. The blue and white light halo was slowly absorbed into his palm, and then the crystal block turned into dust and scattered without a trace.

He felt refreshed all over. After the comparison, the feeling was even more distinct, without the chaotic, turbid feeling of absorbing zombie crystal cores.

This power was purer and clearer.

Therefore, compared to zombie crystal cores nurtured by the virus-ridden bodies of zombies, ability user crystal cores produced by the healthy bodies of humans were obviously more suitable for ability users to absorb and upgrade.

Xie YunChuan suddenly realized that so many people lurking in the dark, coveting him and Luo Shuyou, were not just after a bite to eat, but more importantly, they wanted Xie YunChuan’s crystal core.

Xie YunChuan looked coldly at the corpse on the ground, his eyes like ice.

The end of the world? Ha…!

They wanted an unlimited battle royale. Humans versus zombies, humans versus humans, zombies versus zombies…

What else?

…

With each new discovery, the world sounded an alarm for Xie YunChuan, and the good news that Xie YunChuan wanted was becoming more and more out of reach the more he explored!

Returning to his thoughts, well, he would meet soldiers with generals, and water with earth. Since he couldn’t change anything, he would face the difficulties head-on!

Now that the dead person was an ability user, things were a bit difficult. Besides the new people who had just entered the base, most of the few remaining ability users here had gangs.

Xie YunChuan didn’t know how this person had entered here alone and been killed by White Tiger Cub, or whether there were other gangs behind him.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of not being able to handle those people, but Xie YunChuan didn’t want to be too public and make a big deal out of things for the time being.

Xie YunChuan looked at the corpse on the ground, but his pupils were unfocused. He was thinking about how to deal with this thing.

White Tiger Cub, who was originally huddled at Luo Shuyou’s feet, glanced over absently at this time and suddenly bristled, its paws splayed out, and its tail stood straight up.

Because it saw at a glance the obvious and blatant evidence of the crime of digging meat for Luo Shuyou to eat, the bright red pit in the blue-white skin on his arm, was very conspicuous.

With such a trace, even a dog would know that Luo Shuyou couldn’t have bitten it himself. White Tiger Cub’s eyes turned frantically, Xie YunChuan hadn’t asked yet, so he hadn’t discovered it yet.

But what to do, what to do!?

If it ran over to cover it up now under Xie YunChuan’s gaze, wouldn’t that be the same as confessing without being tortured? Wuwu~! Its life was over!

After the panic, White Tiger Cub gave up struggling in a fit of pique, simply turning a blind eye and burying its head in its two front paws, silently waiting for the verdict.

It was wondering how likely it was that Gu Tangxi and the others would still feed it under Xie YunChuan’s explicit prohibition, wuwu~!

Murphy’s Law, what you fear comes to pass.

Xie YunChuan was just about to exert force to crush the corpse into flesh and mud and use water to wash it away into the sewer when he noticed the sunken meat pit on the naked arm where the blood had congealed.

Things that White Tiger Cub could think of, he definitely understood at a glance. Looking at White Tiger Cub’s evasive posture, it was really confessing without being tortured, clearly telling Xie YunChuan that it was the one who did the bad thing.

He looked up at the ticking clock on the wall. It was two o’clock in the morning, too late.

After dealing with the corpse, he rolled Lu Yunzhou onto the sofa and put him down. Xie YunChuan carried Luo Shuyou back to the room to sleep. Let’s just leave it like this for tonight!
