Chapter 1435 Why didn't you transform?
"You're all finished! Hahahaha..."
The orc, Am, who had successfully launched his sneak attack, was gripped by a state of frenzied excitement and satisfaction. He grinned, revealing two rows of overly neat white teeth, and let out a silly, hoarse laugh. The not-yet-fully-healed scar on his neck writhed with each laugh: "Now I can create several more satisfying works! Hahahaha..."
Nangong Qiuyue, Cang Feng, Jiang Xiaoming, and others: "..."
Orc Am: "Hehehehehehe... It's an honor for you to be injected with my latest creation, the seventh-generation enhanced mutant version of Dark Blood. You will soon become my most perfect masterpiece, hehehehehehe... Hahahahahaha..."
"..."
Nangong Qiuyue couldn't help but complain, "This guy's laugh is really awful..."
"Sss..." Cang Feng calmly pulled the needle out of his neck, carefully examined the remaining dark blood in the syringe, and sighed softly, "Compared to the batch of dark blood we eradicated a few years ago, the current dark blood has undergone countless upgrades, and is obviously much more corrosive to the human body. It's truly harmful..."
"You mean, your work?" Arthur clenched his fists, somewhat annoyed. "So, you're saying that all that Dark Blood from the Gene Corporation was developed by you?"
“Of course it’s me.” The orc Am grinned. “Including some of the initial basic research and development, it all actually came from me.”
"Damn it!" Arthur gritted his teeth. "You wicked devil!"
The orc Am responded with a silly grin.
But soon he realized something was wrong.
He finally stopped his maniacal laughter, tilted his head, and for the first time, his face showed an expression other than a silly grin and madness—a pure, almost naive confusion. His green eyes slowly moved, carefully examining Nangong Qiuyue, Cang Feng, Jiang Xiaoming, and Arthur in turn: "Why aren't you transforming yet?"
"Transform?" Jiang Xiaoming sneered: "If you mean transforming into a berserker like those demonized humans, a ruthless and bloodthirsty monster, then you're probably going to be disappointed."
"..."
The orc Am paused for a moment, then fell silent, which was quite unusual for him, and looked at Nangong Qiuyue and the others with some confusion.
He has great confidence in his work, this generation of "Dark Blood".
This generation of Dark Blood has been improved and strengthened by him, and has been specially optimized for the mental resistance and physical toughness of high-level superhumans. Theoretically, as long as a sufficient dose is injected, it can cause a high-level superhuman to completely lose his mind, go crazy and mutate, and quickly become a cruel and bloodthirsty dark monster in just a few seconds.
Unless the antigen is injected immediately within ten seconds of being contaminated by the Dark Blood, no matter how strong an extraordinary being is, they should not be able to withstand the erosion of the Dark Blood.
But these people seemed to have no reaction at all.
This is really illogical.
The orc doctor glanced out of the corner of his eye at the corpses of human warriors lying haphazardly on the ground in the surrounding woods, "killed" by the demonized humans.
He discovered that after the human soldiers died, their corpses were gradually "degrading"!
Those lifeless "corpses" are undergoing extremely slow but real changes on their surfaces! Their outlines are gradually softening and liquefying in a way that defies the natural laws of decay...
"Huh?" The orc Am narrowed his eyes, all his attention instantly drawn to it.
The skin of those "corpses" was emitting an extremely faint, hazy, translucent energy, like water vapor. It was a sign that their soul power was rapidly dissipating.
As the soul power dissipated, the corpse's flesh, bones, and even clothing, like a sand sculpture without support, were synchronously and evenly "degrading" and dissolving, turning into finer dust-like specks of light. Some merged into the air, while others turned into liquid and seeped into the ground. The speed was not fast, but the trend was clear.
'Soul Fusion Curse?'
The orc Am noticed something amiss.
This is an extremely rare and highly confidential rune. It is typically used on assassins or special agents carrying out covert, high-risk missions. The rune is imprinted on the recipient's body, and once vital signs are detected to have completely disappeared, or if the recipient actively activates it, it will burn residual soul power to accelerate the complete decomposition of the corpse from the material to the energy level.
This is, of course, because some agents or suicide bombers do not want their secrets to be discovered after a mission fails, or they worry that their memories will still be read by special magic after death, so they leave such curse marks.
The orc Am's gaze slowly swept across the battlefield. Not just one, two... but almost all the fallen corpses of the "warriors" clad in standard human armor were undergoing the same transformation!
An army of this size, with each soldier bearing this special rune beforehand...
The orc Am's eyes lit up with amusement.
'Hehehehehehehe...'
'That's really interesting.'
What are these humans hiding?
'Injected with dark blood, but my body shows absolutely no reaction...'
'Given the current potency of the Dark Blood, no life form with a living cellular structure could possibly remain unaffected.'
'unless......'
'These people in front of me, including this human army, are not living beings at all...'
The orc Am's lips curled into a grin once more.
"I see."
"No wonder you dared to break into the mysterious fog formation like this."
Nangong Ru's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no...
This orc doctor, although he looks crazy, seems quite intelligent, with strong observation and reasoning abilities. He seems to have figured out the secrets of their army.
Moreover, if he really is the scientist who developed the Dark Blood, then he must also be a top genius. Although he may be crazy, his mind must be sharp.
"I see." The orc Am chuckled sheepishly. "In that case, there's no need for me to waste any more time with you."
Xia Xiyao, Jiang Xiaoming, Nangong Qiuyue and the others were slightly taken aback.
As soon as the orc Am finished speaking, he leaped up with a "whoosh," turned, and dashed into the depths of the forest where the purple mist was even denser, disappearing without a trace...
"???" Nangong Qiuyue looked bewildered: "This guy... ran away?"
Xia Xiyao remained wary, looking around: "Did he really run away? Or... is he planning to hide in the shadows and continue to ambush us?"
Nangong Ru then said, "Oh no... he must have already figured out our secret."
