Chapter 52: Sacrificing a Broken Body as a Blazing Fire
“Buzz!”
The flashbang exploded, and the distorted mass of flesh entered a berserk state, indiscriminately lashing out with its tentacles at everything around it.
Zhan Lan couldn’t fully grasp Fang Ge’s combat strategy.
The Buddha Wheel was to keep James from being disturbed by the flashbang so he could use his Telekinesis.
The two consecutive flashbangs were to buy time to set up the high-frequency Monomolecular Sword as bait.
This way, once the control time ended, Fang Ge could retreat to a safe distance.
James would then be able to seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
But why did he have to use the high-frequency bait, and why was the tactical execution so rushed?
The JoJo series is a classic, and Zhan Lan, as a writer, had drawn inspiration from it before, so she wasn’t unfamiliar with Infamous BIG.
However, BIG’s usual movement speed wasn’t fast; they could have taken their time…
Fang Ge offered no explanation for this.
Right, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, as long as… the outcome is good.
Zhan Lan guided Zheng Chu and the other person, focusing most of her energy on herself to avoid the monster’s indiscriminate attacks.
At the same time, she meticulously used her Mental Power to monitor the monster’s movements. She wanted to see if she could help in some way…
Even just a little, Zhan Lan hoped she could demonstrate some additional value.
Unfortunately, this monster still possessed that annoying shielding ability…
Shielding!
This monster also had Telekinesis! So, it could potentially use Telekinesis to push away the antidote and counter Fang Ge’s strategy?
What to do! Think of a way, Zhan Lan, how to solve this!
In her desperation, Zhan Lan’s eyes became glazed with a look of confusion—she had entered the Gene Lock state!
The Mental Power Scan became more concentrated and precise. The diffused Mental Power was molded into a new shape by Zhan Lan at this moment.
Her writer’s imagination allowed her to make some bold attempts.
If a piece of cloth is blocked by an eggshell, then what about an awl… or even a needle?
Concentrating on a single point…
Fang Ge’s movements continued.
His movements were very fast, even faster than Jin Xi’s just now.
His physical fitness might not be as good as Jin Xi’s, but his mastery of movement techniques and cultivation methods surpassed that of the ordinary creators with mediocre comprehension. His control over the Gene Lock was even far superior.
One second… two seconds…
He moved dozens of meters in a short time, arriving at the center of the platform—because the view was best from there.
The high-frequency Monomolecular Sword was unsheathed, its energy blade extended, and then he plunged it straight into the floor.
The powerful cutting and vibration instantly split and shredded the floor, but it also attracted the monster’s attention!
Swish!
That scene reappeared, a movement almost like teleportation!
“Telekinesis! It achieves high-speed movement by relying on Telekinesis!”
Zhan Lan’s Mental Power had pierced the monster’s skin; she finally perceived the truth of the matter.
After all, it was just a carbon-based life form from Resident Evil. Although it wielded some psychic powers, it still adhered to the fundamental laws of the material world.
It wasn’t a game-rule-like ‘acceleration ability’; chasing fast objects was just its instinct, and it could only be faster than an object by using Telekinesis to accelerate itself!
Zhan Lan finally understood why Fang Ge had to execute such a rushed plan.
Only this way would the monster’s Telekinesis be used for its own acceleration, rather than to resist the antidote!
But how did Fang Ge perceive all of this?
—Although that almost instantaneous speed was very fast, it certainly couldn’t compare to the speed of “high-frequency”… that was its limit.
And Zhan Lan’s previous inability to detect it indicated that it possibly possessed Telekinesis.
A speed with a limit, the essence of a carbon-based life form, and possessing Telekinesis.
Combined with his understanding of the Main God, these three elements alone were enough to construct Fang Ge’s deduction.
Fang Ge gently let go of the third flashbang, and the explosion, close at hand, rang out again.
The monster, he, and the high-frequency Monomolecular Sword were now less than ten meters apart.
However, this one second was enough.
He forcefully stomped his feet on the ground, and the burst of Nine Yang True Qi caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the floor. The powerful recoil propelled his body away with a whoosh!
James’s beast-like body also began to move at this moment.
He actually didn’t have absolute confidence in his control over Telekinesis, unless… the distance was close enough.
Then he would turn his broken body into a blazing fire, in exchange for his comrades’ peaceful rest.
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
“Rip!”
The out-of-control monster’s tentacles struck like steel blades, immensely powerful.
Just two stabs shattered the Buddha Wheel. The third pierced his body, yet it was still not enough to stop him.
The mercenary captain stepped forward resolutely, approaching the bodies of his comrades.
He must have been in the Gene Lock state… Even though James no longer had eyes, Zhan Lan could make such a judgment.
Powerful Telekinesis, carrying the antidote and James’s absolute will, flew towards the long blade!
The last second of control time ended.
As Fang Ge expected, all of the monster’s Telekinesis was applied to its twisted flesh, charging towards the high-frequency Monomolecular Sword at an extremely high speed!
This also meant that the flight of the antidote would be unimpeded!
“Ah!!”
James roared loudly.
The light green spiral-shaped vial, in his perception, accurately entered that wicked octopus mouth!
“It’s over…”
Fang Ge retreated without any hesitation, so much so that he crashed into the wall, and even his exoskeleton was embedded in the wall.
He was not surprised by his victory. But that didn’t stop it from being exciting; the extreme maneuvers made his blood boil.
A refreshing and exhilarating deduction and battle, he was still himself, the world record holder.
“You guys, hurry and go!”
James was too close; the tentacles coiled him into the mass of flesh. The dying monster still wanted to make one last “meal.”
But he didn’t care anymore. Not being able to personally clear Wesker’s passages and send him to work in Thailand’s adult industry might be regrettable.
Yet, in the last moments of his incomplete life, he genuinely fought a life-and-death battle with Fang Ge and the others.
Even though they had only known each other for… one day, the friendship forged in life and death was still very moving.
Right? Kaplan, JD, Rain…
It’s just that being eaten is too disgusting…
“Swish!”
【Killed one Tracker, rewarded with 1 D-rank side plot, rewarded with 1000 points.】
Jin Xi’s Monomolecular Sword severed James’s spine.
The controller would surely regret the loss of reward points—and being eaten felt very bad.
Even if it didn’t hurt, it felt very bad…
Jin Xi had the right to speak; she had experienced all of this firsthand. To cover Fang Ge’s retreat, she had once been buried in the mouth of an Alien.
“The Telekinesis disappeared immediately; it can’t accelerate anymore…”
Zhan Lan jogged along. She might indeed have played some role; at least she confirmed the information about Telekinesis…
But that man was too dazzling, so dazzling that he could accomplish this incredible feat without that information.
At least give me a chance to pry Fang Ge off the wall and do some healing work, right?
She even selectively forgot that the Buddha Wheel was still quietly lying on the floor—James had thrown this treasure out before he died.
Unfortunately, Jin Xi wouldn’t give her this chance.
Zhan Lan only felt herself being hoisted over a shoulder once again… Why again?
The last time it was Fang Ge; this time it was Jin Xi. Even with only one hand, it didn’t hinder her immense strength as a stat monster.
“Let’s go down quickly…”
Fang Ge struggled to get off the wall. He knew there wasn’t a second to spare.
Her constant temperature suit was damaged, and Jin Xi, deprived of oxygen, was on the verge of suffocating!
