To cooperate with the Gu King, Jin Peng invested hundreds of millions of funds, as well as a large amount of time and energy.
Those subordinates who were modified also had to have their salaries increased. Otherwise, why would they risk their lives for you?
Especially after being modified, these people's strength greatly increased. If their salaries were not raised, they would be even less willing to associate with you.
But now, hearing that those people had an accident, Jin Peng could not bear such a blow.
"Quick, quick, go and see!"
Jin Peng grabbed the Gu King's sleeve and dragged him towards the training center.
The Gu King's face was also unusually grim. He had not expected such a thing to happen.
At this moment, Jin Tianxiang felt dizzy and almost fainted.
He suppressed the urge to vomit blood again and followed the two, heading directly to see what had happened!
When they arrived at the training center, the scene before them was like a living hell.
The subordinates who had been implanted with the Divine Power Gu were all desperately rolling on the ground. Almost every one of them had muscles twitching, contorting, foaming at the mouth, and even scratching themselves bloody with their fingernails.
Suddenly, a man screamed and began to bleed from all seven orifices. Then, a peanut-sized worm crawled out of his nostrils.
After the worm came out, it twitched twice and immediately turned into a pool of black blood.
Immediately after, the third, the third... successively, worms drilled out of these people's bodies. Some crawled out of their seven orifices, while others simply had the worms bite through their stomachs and emerge from their hosts' bodies...
Jin Peng was going crazy. These people were all Jin family confidantes and elites. In such a short time, these elites were almost wiped out!
Moreover, the way these people died was tragic, and it looked like they had not died a good death. This brought immense psychological trauma to the other Jin family members.
It should be known that when Jin Peng tricked these people into accepting the Gu worm modification, he only said it was a special drug to increase their strength, not that it was a Gu worm, nor did he mention the side effects of the Gu worm.
But now, with the Gu worms breaking out of these people's bodies and their tragic deaths, who wouldn't know that there was something fishy going on here!
Jin Peng even felt that the way his subordinates looked at him was a little off.
However, this was not the time to think about these things. The immediate priority was to figure out what had happened.
Just then, Jin Peng saw two modified subordinates still standing there, looking terrified and helpless.
Only these two were not convulsing and foaming at the mouth like their companions.
Jin Peng rushed forward and grabbed one of the subordinates by the collar.
"Tell me, what happened? What's wrong with these people? Why are you two okay?"
"We are training now, and we eat one meal every four hours. Just now, we had a late-night snack.
After eating the late-night snack, they turned into this state!" the subordinate said tremblingly.
"Then, why are you two not like them?" Jin Peng said with killing intent.
"I... I... we really don't know!" The two subordinates were almost in tears. What they said was the truth, and they really didn't know the specific reason.
At this moment, the Gu King stepped forward and asked, "Don't worry, try to recall if there was anything in tonight's food that they ate but you didn't?"
The two looked at each other, and suddenly one of them slapped his thigh.
"I remember, it was the soup, the meat soup!
The meat soup provided by the cafeteria was very popular. Not only did it taste delicious, but it was also very nutritious. That meat soup was said to have added ingredients like sea cucumber, abalone, and bird's nest...
He is allergic to seafood, and I don't like soup, so we didn't drink that soup. We ate almost everything else, and there was nothing different from others!"
"Soup? What soup?" Just as Jin Pan was still full of suspicion, the Gu King had already acted and rushed towards the large barrel containing the soup.
Lifting the lid, a smell wafted from the residual soup at the bottom of the red pot.
To ordinary people, this was a very delicious soup, with a rich meaty aroma and a strong seafood flavor, making one's mouth water and crave a large bowl.
In fact, this large pot of meat soup was bursting with nutritional value and calories.
The bodies of these people had been modified by the Gu worms, and they needed a lot of energy and calories, so this meat soup was their most popular food.
However, the Gu King immediately smelled a very faint strange odor in this pot of soup!
"This is... this is... Evil Worm Grass!"
Upon smelling this, the Gu King's entire body felt unwell, and his body trembled.
He could never have imagined that such a thing as Evil Worm Grass would appear in this pot of soup!
Evil Worm Grass is a type of grass that grows in the primeval forests of the south.
In the areas where this grass grows, there are no insects within a radius of several meters.
This grass contains a toxin that has a very strong killing effect on all kinds of insects, Gu worms, and even small reptiles.
If insects are forcibly placed near this grass, the smell emitted by the Evil Worm Grass will cause the insects to die within a few minutes.
Not to mention mashing this grass into juice and letting insects drink it; it would be certain death!
In ancient times, some people, to prevent sneak attacks by sorcerers, would use this grass to make medicinal juice to apply to their bodies, or make sachets to carry with them.
With these things on their bodies, even if the sorcerers wanted to control insects to attack these targets, the insects would instinctively avoid them and refuse to obey orders!
However, fortunately, this plant has very high environmental requirements, and due to years of harvesting, it is now almost extinct.
Even an old fellow like the Gu King had only encountered it once in his decades of life, and he remembered the smell of this grass too well.
At that time, he obtained a piece of Evil Worm Grass and only smelled its scent, but the Gu worms he carried with him almost rioted.
Now, he smelled this scent in the soup again!
The Gu King's judgment was flawless. In fact, Ling Tian had indeed added Evil Worm Grass to the pot, but not much, only a few leaves.
In addition, the dog had also added some other medicinal ingredients, which, on the one hand, masked the smell of the Evil Worm Grass, and on the other hand, greatly enhanced the medicinal effect.
