Chapter 56: Transformation Amidst Madness!

“Oh no!”

The sudden change caused the faces of the father and daughter, Busujima Meiken and Busujima Saeko, who were leading the zombies, to change drastically. They did not know what that roar of unwillingness and the responses from the zombies were all about!

They also did not know what exactly had happened inside the laboratory!

However, when they saw that the group of zombies completely ignored their provocations and rushed madly toward the laboratory, they knew that things had escalated!

Busujima Meiken’s face was filled with a complex expression, but it suddenly shifted. He saw Busujima Saeko, upon seeing the group of zombies flooding into the laboratory, turn around and attempt to chase after them to stop them!

Immediately, Busujima Meiken quickly blocked Busujima Saeko and shouted angrily, “Saeko, have you gone mad? Do you know what you are doing?”

“Father, do not stop me! I must stop them. Teacher is still inside, he hasn’t come out yet!” Busujima Saeko’s face was full of anxiety. Facing her father’s obstruction, she tried to push past him.

“You are crazy!”

Busujima Meiken trembled with anger and grabbed Busujima Saeko tightly!

He never expected that Busujima Saeko could be this crazy. Was Wei Ziqing truly that important in her heart? So important that she would even throw away her own life?

“Father, let me go quickly! There is no time left!” Busujima Saeko tried to struggle free. At this moment, she had no time to care about her father.

She only knew that if she did not go save her teacher, then her teacher might…

Thinking of this, Busujima Saeko felt a sharp pain in her heart. He was the one who taught her how to face the darkness within her, who accepted her, and who guided her!

She could not watch him fall into such a crisis; she had to fight for him!

But before she could finish speaking, Busujima Saeko’s voice stopped abruptly. She lost consciousness and collapsed against Busujima Meiken.

She had been knocked unconscious by a palm strike from Busujima Meiken!

“Saeko, I am sorry!” Busujima Meiken held Busujima Saeko, his face full of guilt. He knew why Busujima Saeko wanted to save Wei Ziqing!

Because he had been young once too; he understood the feelings of young boys and girls!

But he could not let her act recklessly because she was his only daughter. Even if he died, he could never lose her!

…

“Damn it!”

Inside the laboratory, Wei Ziqing’s expression changed abruptly. He never expected that the monster would speak human words before dying, and more so, that it would not let him go!

Yes, Wei Ziqing had already realized what those roars of unwillingness meant!

It was calling those thousands of zombies to avenge it!

“Run, I must run! If I don’t run now, it will be too late!” Just as the thought arose, the entire underground passage shook violently. Looking up, a massive group of zombies had already appeared in his sight!

“Oh no! How could they be so fast!” Cold sweat poured down Wei Ziqing’s face. He thought that the interval during the response would at least give him some time to prepare, but now…

A crisis of life and death…

An unprecedented crisis of life and death!

Especially since there was not a single trace of reason left in the eyes of these zombies; there was only madness. They stared fixedly at him, drooling all over the ground—it was a hunger to devour!

“What should I do?”

Fight back? How could he fight back?

Setting aside the fact that he was already injured from a blow by the monster during the previous battle, even if he were at his Peak strength, he would only find a dead end against these countless zombies!

“Am I really going to die here?” Wei Ziqing’s face was full of unwillingness. He thought of Little Dragon Maiden, he thought of his father and mother, and the scenes of being kicked out of his home.

“No! I cannot die! I absolutely cannot die here!” Suddenly, Wei Ziqing looked at the fist-sized, pitch-black meteorite on the ground that seemed to emit a ghostly glow. His face was full of madness!

The Extraterrestrial Meteorite possessed immense Psychic Power energy. As long as he grabbed the meteorite in his hand, he would surely receive the boost of Psychic Power!

However, Busujima Meiken had also said that this meteorite was very strange. Anyone who touched it would have their mind eroded and become a numb monster!

It was precisely because of this that the Aberrant had appeared!

Originally, Wei Ziqing wanted to use a safe method to take the meteorite out to study it properly, to see how to obtain the Psychic Power energy without losing his sanity!

But now…

Looking at the massive zombie tide that was already within arm’s reach, he knew that if he did not want to die, his only chance for survival was to borrow that vast Psychic Power energy!

Seeing that the zombies were less than three meters away, Wei Ziqing did not hesitate for another second. He leapt to where the Extraterrestrial Meteorite lay and reached out his hand, gripping the meteorite firmly!

The moment he grabbed the meteorite, Wei Ziqing’s body jolted. His face turned deathly pale, and his entire body shook violently.

Desire, ambition, pain, madness, bloodlust, slaughter, greed!

Countless negative emotions flooded into his mind like a surging sea, making his head ache excruciatingly, and his eyes turned crimson!

At the same time, a strange energy surged frantically from the Extraterrestrial Meteorite in his hand into his body.

This power was very special and violent, filled with a fighting spirit for slaughter. Wei Ziqing, who was originally at the Half-Step Innate stage, suddenly felt his power explode, surging directly into the Innate Realm!

“So… so strong…!” Feeling this terrifying power, Wei Ziqing’s eyes became as ferocious and terrifying as blood. Looking at the Zombie Horde, he suddenly felt an extreme craving at this moment.

His entire body moved like a violent storm, not retreating but advancing toward the Zombie Horde.

Blood, slaughter, and countless Sword Intents raged frantically within the narrow passage.

Severed limbs, internal organs, blood, and heads rained down upon Wei Ziqing. He had gone mad, and the remaining reason in his eyes was completely overshadowed by the desire for slaughter.

Hissing, anger, roaring!

He did not know what he had done. His heart had only one thought: to kill, to carve a path through the Zombie Horde!

His white clothes had long since turned bright red.

That was blood—some of his own, but mostly from the zombies!

At this moment, he was like a killing machine, frantically harvesting the zombies. He felt no pain at all, nor did he notice that the blood covering his hands, stained with zombie blood, flowed into the Extraterrestrial Meteorite!

The Extraterrestrial Meteorite began to gradually emit a pitch-black light. This light grew stronger and stronger until it became incredibly brilliant, as if it wanted to cover all the light between Heaven and Earth!

Then, the brilliant Extraterrestrial Meteorite began to squirm, compress, and deform until it became a pitch-black ring, fitting tightly around his finger. Only then did the light fade away completely.

It was as if the Extraterrestrial Meteorite had never existed!

Wei Ziqing was completely unaware of this scene; he simply continued to numbly charge through the Zombie Horde!
