Chapter Index

    It’s hard to know how long it took. When Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan were almost exhausted, He Linglong’s symptoms finally subsided slowly. Perhaps her physical strength was too drained from the struggle, He Linglong, no longer controlled by terrifying unconscious behavior, finally fell into a deep sleep.

    “…Is it okay??” Zhou Yuanyuan slowly turned her head, blinked uncertainly, and asked.

    “It should be.” Jiang Juncheng propped herself up, relaxed her suppression, and found that He Linglong no longer had any excessive reactions, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Okay, okay, she should have made it through. Let’s get up.”

    “Really? What if she suddenly attacks us again when we let go?” Zhou Yuanyuan was very cautious, stretching her head and repeatedly looking at He Linglong, who had closed her eyes and had no reaction. Finally, after confirming that there was indeed no problem, she moved the weight pressing on He Linglong’s body away.

    “Let’s gather the food and water in the three people’s bags first, divide it into three equal portions, leave her share for her, and she will naturally eat it when she wakes up.” Jiang Juncheng put the bags of several people together, distributed the things, and said to Zhou Yuanyuan.

    “Okay. The mutation process just now consumed so much energy, I guess she will be very hungry when she wakes up.” Zhou Yuanyuan walked to Jiang Juncheng and sat down, took the water bottle in her hand and placed it in three directions. The two of them took their own food and water and ate and drank something simple.

    Jiang Juncheng saw that He Linglong still showed no signs of waking up, so she quickly untied the straps on her hand. Seeing that He Linglong’s wrist had been strangled to form shallow purplish-blue marks, she subconsciously helped her rub it gently with her fingertips.

    Alas… Although you look more approachable at this time, I still hope you wake up safely soon… Jiang Juncheng sighed and pressed her palm lightly on He Linglong’s face, thinking worriedly.

    In fact, for He Linglong, it was already commonplace to encounter physical injuries or exhaustion from excessive training, but this was the first time she had encountered a situation that could give rise to such a strong will to die.

    Her body first felt as if it had been thrown into a furnace and was being refined and roasted. A burning pain spread throughout her body, with no part untouched. Just when she felt that her soul was almost driven out of her body, bone-chilling cold began to attack again, as if no transition was needed in between, allowing her body to quickly switch between the two extremes of extreme heat and extreme cold. Then, as expected, her whole body’s muscles began to contract violently and uncontrollably, spasming.

    Because of the extreme pain felt by her body, the violent thoughts in her mind soared, and she wanted to bite and tear Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan in front of her to pieces. Even though her eyelids were always heavy, as if she couldn’t open them, somehow, her body’s sixth sense became particularly sensitive. The tense breathing and heartbeats of the two people, who were unconsciously trying to restrain her, seemed to echo in her ears. And in the continuous painful sensations of her body, she could also clearly capture the smells on the two people, especially Zhou Yuanyuan, a mutant. The scent of blood emanating from her was so close, and like a delicacy, it tempted her body to struggle even more crazily.

    If she hadn’t tied herself up beforehand, Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan alone would not have been able to restrain her madness with their own strength.

    Although it felt like she had spent decades in those alternating painful sensations, the whole process actually only lasted for more than forty minutes. When the urge to destroy and thirst for blood subsided, she was obviously exhausted, and her consciousness only cleared for a while before she fell into a coma again. Before passing out, she forced her eyes open a crack, and only after seeing that the two people had not been hurt by her, did she close her eyes with peace of mind.

    Time always becomes long in silence. The entire garage had no other entrances or exits except for the rolling door, so the amount of oxygen was also very limited. Zhou Yuanyuan and Jiang Juncheng became quiet after eating. Although they also wanted to discuss how to escape from here later, He Linglong had not woken up yet, and their minds were on her, so they could not figure out a solution and stopped talking.

    The strong flashlight was rechargeable, and electricity was a scarce resource in this environment, so Jiang Juncheng held the flashlight in her hand and turned off the power.

    In the darkness, only the two people’s breathing remained, slow and shallow. And He Linglong’s breathing, who had fallen into a coma, was even weaker and longer than the two. If Jiang Juncheng hadn’t been worried and sat next to He Linglong, reaching out several times to test her breath, she would have thought she had sacrificed.

    In this silence accompanied by the two people’s breathing, no one knew how much time had passed. He Linglong, who was lying on the ground, finally hummed softly and woke up.

    What followed was a violent cough as if she had suddenly taken a breath. Jiang Juncheng quickly turned on the flashlight to illuminate and then immediately helped He Linglong to sit up.

    “Awake? How do you feel?” Jiang Juncheng patted He Linglong’s back and asked worriedly.

    “Come, come, have a sip of water first.” Zhou Yuanyuan also quickly unscrewed the water bottle and came over, putting it to He Linglong’s mouth.

    He Linglong’s eyes were still a little distracted, but her throat was indeed dry and tight and she couldn’t make any sound, so she obediently drank the mineral water from her mouth, coughed a few more times, and then recovered.
