Chapter 68 - 68 64 Security Room Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch who is also the Vote King for the 500 Jin of Swelling King

68: Chapter 64: Security Room (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch, who is also the Vote King, for the 500 Jin of Swelling King) 68: Chapter 64: Security Room (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch, who is also the Vote King, for the 500 Jin of Swelling King) Between the corridors on the first floor of the teaching building,

a headless security guard lay on the ground with a syringe stuck in his neck.

Gao Yuxuan immediately deduced that it was difficult to kill this armor-wrapped mutant by physical attacks, so he directly used the “Chloride of Amber Choline” he had just found in the infirmary,

a fast-acting muscle relaxant drug.

The large dose of the injection promptly rendered the security guard immobilized on the ground,

regardless of whether he was dead or not, at the very least, he would no longer obstruct the way.

Gao Yuxuan did not hesitate and immediately ran towards the Security Room,

pondering something during his run; inside the school enveloped by the [Seam], those individuals with insufficient willpower and sudden mutations typically displayed vortex characteristics,

This characteristic could be seen in multiple regions of the campus,

even the liquid in the syringe, once still, would form a surface vortex,

even the entire campus sky was occupied by vortices,

the element “vortex” had permeated the entire campus.

Gao Yuxuan had read many off-campus publications, including knowledge about [Seam], but they did not mention any terms related to vortices, leading to only one possibility.

One of the Pseudo-Persons constituting the Seam is extremely special,

so special that its nature can affect the entire region, even more unique than the flesh-and-blood type Pseudo-Person in the Sports Center.

“According to what Luo Di and others described, are these vortex elements originating from Mr.

Guo?

If Mr.

Guo truly harbors no malice, maybe we could survive.”

Gao Yuxuan had witnessed too many student deaths at the athletics field, with more than fifteen classmates dying right in front of him, he dared not hope for much, only wishing to protect the people around him, his friends.

He quickly crossed the first-floor corridor and arrived at the outermost side of the teaching building,

[Security Room] was just ahead,

appearing like an individually extended part built upon the base of the teaching building.

Overall, it resembled a small fortress with an arch structure, equipped with a surveillance room, an armory, and even a temporary detention center (some students with serious issues in psychological tests or dangerous intruders into the school would be temporarily detained here).

Yet, the whole Security Room still showed no light, just like the infirmary earlier, it didn’t seem like anyone was there.

“Not here?”

Gao Yuxuan recalled the headless security guard he encountered in the corridors and couldn’t help but suspect that the entire security team might have encountered problems.

Since the Security Room was pitch-black and silent, he decided to give up searching and head back to the infirmary.

At that moment,

a faint sound came from the direction of the Security Room,

even the experienced Gao Yuxuan couldn’t describe this sound exactly; somewhat like clothing being torn apart, or some kind of leather being cut.

Though it was very soft, it was still clearly audible in the quiet campus.

He decisively sprinted over,

clutching the Field Knife in his hand, ensuring the silver needle box bound to his left arm was accessible, and he also prepared a syringe on his waist.

He pushed open the door of the Security Room.

What came into view were bodies of security guards scattered throughout the room,

“Headless” was a common trait among these security guards, as if they had fallen from a great height and their heads collided with the ground.

Currently,

these headless security guards had also suffered cuts from sharp weapons, their bodies along with their armor were sliced open and scattered in pieces.

Only two people were left inside,

one was the middle-aged woman in student clothing described by Luo Di.

Currently, her appearance was disheveled, her ten fingers pulling on Skin threads, controlling a relatively intact upper body of a security guard as her slave.

In Gao Yuxuan’s eyes,

this middle-aged woman’s body seemed to have been slashed numerous times during the encounter with the security team, resulting in obvious stitch marks all over her body, and her school uniform was tattered, some wounds still bleeding.

Upon hearing someone approaching,

the middle-aged woman’s face, coated in white makeup, immediately turned 180°, gazing at Gao Yuxuan standing at the doorway,

upon seeing such a spectacle-wearing handsome young man, her distraught face immediately teared into a perverse smile.

…

[Infirmary]

Ten minutes had already passed, and Gao Yuxuan had not returned.

During this time, Luo Di played with his tongue due to the wait.

His posture changed from initially lying down to sitting on the edge of the bed,

and now he had stood up, trying his best to adapt to the imbalance caused by the missing arm and repositioning his body’s center of gravity.

Finally unable to bear it,

“Xiao Ying!”

“Um?”

“Come and help me get the needle and prepare some sedatives and stimulants.”

“I…”

Xiao Ying was very conflicted; she knew that the waiting time was indeed getting long.

“Quick.”

The commanding tone compelled Xiao Ying to remove the IV needle.

She obediently went to the medicine cabinet, trying to find any emergency medicine that might be needed.

While she was searching, Luo Di came up behind her, deliberately getting very close.

“Found it yet?” Luo Di seemed to be overseeing the process to prevent Xiao Ying from using searching for medicine as an excuse to delay.

“Almost.”

“Xiao Ying, you stay here later~ If the class teacher’s team succeeds in their operation, they should come over as well, then you can lead them here to help.”

Xiao Ying turned around after taking the medicine, pursing her lips,

“What if they…

don’t succeed?

What if it’s a Pseudo-Person who comes here?”

“Then you still stay here, at least the infirmary was safe for the past ten minutes.”

The always obedient Xiao Ying shook her head and refused at this moment,

“No, I’ll go with you.

Although I might not be very helpful, at least I can handle some minor tasks.

The class leader has always cared for me, I must go find her.”

“Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Xiao Ying did not respond directly but looked up at Luo Di with an unusually determined gaze.

“Let’s go.”

Luo Di swallowed two stimulant pills that he would never normally touch,

As he walked down the staircase, his gaze kept lingering on the door to the infirmary, hoping desperately that Gao Yuxuan and the class leader would come back.

Unfortunately, there were no coincidences.

The pitch-dark infirmary was empty,

The ticking of the mechanical clock urged Luo Di to quicken his steps towards the nearby Security Room,

The two also encountered a headless security guard in the hallway of the teaching building.

An injector was stuck in the swirling neck opening, quietly lying on the ground.

As Luo Di passed by, he knelt on one knee and drove his Zombie Blade into the neck, the body only completely died after a brief tremor.

Through the corridor.

The fortress-like Security Room stationed at the forefront of the teaching building, no sound could be heard.

Perhaps smelling something, or maybe just pure instinct, Luo Di slightly slowed down and whispered softly, “Hold on to the sleeve, keep in contact.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Ying held one sleeve with one hand and her Field Knife tightly in the other.

Approaching the main door of the Security Room,

Pushing open the door handle still stained with blood,

Fizz~ (sound of electricity)

Under the flickering dim light,

Scattered all over were fragmented corpses, sharply cut security combat uniforms, and various security tools like a mix in a pot.

What on earth happened?

Could it be that the Pseudo-Person possessing the attributes of Skin had slaughtered the entire security team?

Or was it something else?

An occurrence beyond Luo Di’s speculation.

This was the first time Xiao Ying had encountered such a horrendous “scene,” the strong smell impacting her, making her subconsciously cover her mouth and nose, trying to suppress the intense reaction inside her.

When she looked up,

She found Luo Di already stepping on the “uneven” ground, using a flashlight from the infirmary to carefully search the corpses.

After the search, Luo Di’s tense face gradually relaxed.

He did not find any parts resembling the class leader or Gao Yuxuan among these remains,

Moreover, Luo Di also noticed that most of the scattered corpses here were incomplete, with many parts missing.

Just as Luo Di wondered where Gao Yuxuan had gone,

Xiao Ying’s voice came from the doorway, “Luo Di!

There’s something upstairs in the teaching building, I think I heard fighting noises, and also some figures flashed by.”

“Which floor?”

“Fifth floor, seems to be near our classroom!”

“Our class?”
