Looking at the room suddenly empty before her eyes.
Luo Xiao Le felt a sense of confusion. How could there be such a commotion here, and yet no other superpowered individuals had appeared to deal with her?
Then she recalled the furtive attacks of the cheap master and Qin Li, and Luo Xiao Le instantly understood...
It was likely that the nanny and housekeeper here didn't even know the intimate side of Qin Li's usual demeanor!
It seemed this old geezer was quite concerned about his reputation...
Luo Xiao Le instantly figured it out. With a few strides, she rushed over, looking up in disbelief and with heartache at Mo Chen, who was suspended in mid-air, his limbs bound.
The strange green threads entwined around him, already seeming to have dug into his bones, made Luo Xiao Le gasp for breath...
"Mo Chen, hang in there, I'll get you down right away." Her voice even trembled a little.
For the first time, she felt a sense of reckless desperation. She fumbled in her pocket for a reinforced small knife, flicked the tip, leaped up, and began to cut at the fine threads.
Sensing the tethers had been touched, the white-browed master in the laboratory frowned, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
He had just barely managed to buy some time using teleportation. If Luo Xiao Le rescued Mo Chen so quickly, she would immediately turn her attention to them!
This bean sprout had repeatedly ruined their plans, yet they couldn't do anything to her. She was truly troublesome!
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He flicked his finger upwards, and something resembling a talisman unfurled in the air. He twitched his wrist, his fingertips emanating a green light, and began writing something on the talisman...
"I advise you not to make any rash moves."
Luo Xiao Le saw a strange green light flash before her eyes. On the previously empty white wall, these green characters suddenly appeared...
"This is my unique technique, the God-Binding Rope. No one but me can untie it. The more you try to break it, the tighter it binds. If you dare to act, it will sever Mo Chen's bones in the next second!"
The white-browed master's nerves were taut. He exerted all his strength, writing at his absolute limit, afraid Luo Xiao Le wouldn't finish reading in time!
He had to stall Luo Xiao Le and buy time for Qin Li to quickly repair his body!
Luo Xiao Le narrowed her eyes. This was the legendary green light? It was so green it made her panic...
This old man could write through the air remarkably fast...
The old man who was already at odds with her was now politely typing messages to her through the air...
Luo Xiao Le's heart skipped a beat. She knew this old man must be up to no good!
She grabbed the chandelier in front of her with one hand, suspended in the air, and carefully observed the green threads...
She found that the energy source within them felt inexplicably familiar to her. Thinking back to the zombie kings she had defeated before, she realized this green energy was precisely the kind she had encountered.
"Hmm..." Luo Xiao Le made up her mind. With a few swift movements, she flipped her small knife and sliced at one of the less tightly bound threads!
"Snap..." The thread actually broke!
"God-Binding Rope... Is that all?" Luo Xiao Le pursed her lips speechlessly. Fortunately, she hadn't believed his nonsense!
This wicked old man was truly devious, Luo Xiao Le cursed inwardly.
A sharp glint in her eyes, she boldly and decisively cut through all the remaining green threads, leaving none intact!
Mo Chen instantly lost his restraint and plummeted straight down from high above...
Then, Luo Xiao Le leaped forward, catching him in a princess carry!
She held him in her arms...
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. I can truly protect you now."
Luo Xiao Le, the damsel in distress rescuing the hero, felt a strange amusement welling up inside her.
Mo Chen, his flesh-and-bone wrist already exposed, anxiously raised it. He turned his wrist and, with fingers not splattered with blood, tremblingly touched Luo Xiao Le's wrist, gently pressing and caressing it...
Luo Xiao Le happened to be pulling out a buff potion and some potent healing medicine from a pharmacy. She blushed, "Oh, Mo Chen, don't do that. We can talk about it when you're healed..." She stomped her foot shyly, and a large pit instantly appeared on the ground...
However, Mo Chen only managed to curl the corners of his lips. He felt Luo Xiao Le's strong and steady pulse, with no trace of injury.
He was almost bled dry, and it was a miracle he had held on this long...
Only then did he finally relax. Unable to hold on, his eyes closed, and his hands lost all strength, falling limply.
"Mo Chen!" Luo Xiao Le cried out in alarm.
She quickly put Mo Chen down and desperately tried to force the medicine and buffs into him.
But Mo Chen had completely lost consciousness. Luo Xiao Le could feel his life signs rapidly fading...
"No... Don't... You can't!" Her eyes instantly turned red. Before she had arrived, Mo Chen had already been on the verge of death...
Now, it was truly beyond saving.
Luo Xiao Le's eyes were instantly blurred with tears. She roughly wiped them away and frantically activated her skills...
[Repair Skill Activated!]
Mo Chen's injuries were too severe; the system seemed unable to keep up with the rate of his life force draining...
Fortunately, she had managed to get a hundred million from Qin Li last time, and tens of millions remained...
A cost of 5 million was spent...
Mo Chen's flesh and skin began to heal bit by bit...
Another 5 million was deducted...
Mo Chen's internal organs, ruptured by the whip, also began to rapidly recover within his body...
Finally, after spending the third 5 million...
"Cough cough..." Mo Chen suddenly gasped for breath, finally regaining his strength.
"You finally... *sob sob*... That's great..." Luo Xiao Le cried tears of joy and threw herself onto him, feeling as if her scattered souls had finally returned to their rightful place.
A bone-cracking sound rang out...
Luo Xiao Le looked speechlessly at Mo Chen's crushed chest bone from her embrace...
Another 5 million!
Sometimes, having too strong a physique had no positive effect on many intimate interactions!
She had learned her lesson deeply this time!
She would definitely be gentler in the future...
The old man felt the God-Binding Ropes instantly snap. The backlash instantly returned to him.
"Pfft!" He immediately fell to his knees, spitting out a mouthful of blood...
Damn it, he was weak. He needed to replenish his blood; he seemed to be experiencing low blood sugar.
Qin Li gnawed on his last finger, then wiped his mouth and stood up with satisfaction.
His gaze turned fierce again, "There's only one last resort left..."
"You don't mean..." The white-browed elder was somewhat surprised. "This is a method that costs ten thousand enemy lives to lose three thousand of your own! You must think carefully. If you truly summon all the zombie kings, the Capital Base will also be finished!"
"As long as this bean sprout is alive, we will never achieve our goal. We must kill her!" Black mist emanated from Qin Li's eyes. "What we want in the end is only the sole island. It doesn't matter if the Capital Base is lost; isn't there still the... Luocheng Base?" He let out a maniacal smile.
"Lure the zombie kings, eliminate her, sacrifice the Capital, and then control Luocheng, taking its place?"
"Alas..." The white-browed master sighed. "Circumstances dictate it, so it must be this way..."
...
"Ah!!! Help... Help..."
"My child, my child, don't hurt him!"
"So... So painful!!! Get lost, you inhuman zombies!"
In just one hour, the Capital Base had fallen.
Hordes of zombies, appearing from nowhere, crashed through the defenses of the Capital Base and, like an surging tide, quickly engulfed the entire city...
Even more terrifying, after only a few minutes, the dreaded zombie kings appeared simultaneously from different directions, like attacking giants, devouring anyone they found...
Even other zombies became their prey.
