Chapter 1044: Chapter 1045: Quirk Mutation 5

"Old Sun, don’t move, I’ll pick it off for you right now."

Old Guo comforted Sun Wen then picked up the walkie-talkie and bellowed, "Where’s the support? Where’s your support? Get over here quick! We’ve got unwelcome guests! If you don’t come now, we won’t be able to hold out!"

Static noises buzzed from the walkie-talkie, and soon a man’s voice responded, "Is it zombies?"

Hearing the indifferent voice from the other side nearly drove Old Guo to rage.

"What the hell is your tone! It’s fucking humans! Humans! Evolved ones!"

"The invaders are surface dwellers? Don’t worry, we’re on our way!"

The person said a few words and didn’t give Old Guo time to reply, cutting off contact with him.

Old Guo didn’t have time to worry about the other side. With one hand gripping the "extraction device" on the back of Sun Wen’s spine, he used force to yank it from Sun Wen’s body, but he quickly froze!

This insect-like metal object, whose material was unknowable, was not only incredibly tough to say the least but also had four limbs that were dug into Sun Wen’s flesh so deeply that even Old Guo’s strength as a Level 4 New Human wasn’t enough to pull it out all at once.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie turned into a shadow and in an instant reached the fourth soldier who was about to be victimized. With an outstretched hand, the helpless soldier was hoisted up by his neck, while around them, two other soldiers lay on the ground, screaming and writhing in agony.

"This thing was gifted to you and you liked it so much, didn’t you? I’ll let you hold onto it for life. However, you should also thank it. Without this device, you wouldn’t have had the chance to become my slaves. There are plenty of people in this world who’d want to be my slaves; you’re very lucky and should cherish this opportunity, hahaha!"

As he spoke, Lin Jie snatched the "extraction device" from the soldier’s hand, clamped onto the metal head and pushed the slider button, then pressed it down onto the soldier’s spine. The four limbs made a "clack clack clack" sound as they burrowed into the soldier’s flesh one by one, causing the transparent glass belly to fill with blood and quickly turn red.

Screaming miserably, the soldier was tossed aside like a sandbag by Lin Jie, who then picked up his backpack, took out the fifth "extraction device," and approached Old Guo.

The latter tried to escape, but just as he stood up, he was hoisted up by Lin Jie who deftly installed the "extraction device" on him. After throwing him aside, Lin Jie then pulled out his phone, opened an app, and let out a sly chuckle.

[Welcome back, 1674.]

[Congratulations, dear user. Your offline personnel count has reached six. Please check carefully.]

Casually opening an interface, six information boxes appeared, five with question marks, and only one with a photo. On closer inspection, the person in the photo was none other than Mo Jun, the boss of Jiuge’s Old Shenluo Group!

Looking at the few people howling painfully on the ground, Lin Jie spoke with a strange laugh, "Hehehehaha, you’re too naive, this thing is no mere ’extraction device.’ You really entertained me, treating it like a treasure. Do you know what it actually is? This is something I stole from the City of Bright Moon; its real name is the ’Slavery Worm.’ Once it sticks to you, no one but me can remove it. From today onward, you’re my slaves. It’d be best for you to obediently carry out my orders."

It was probably the first one to get this thing attached; Sun Wen quickly recovered from the initial abnormal reaction caused by the enslavement worm and gradually returned to normal. The first thing he did was reach for the enslavement worm on his neck, an act that Lin Jie observed but did not stop. Instead, Lin Jie spoke in a ghostly voice, "Don’t even think about taking it off yourself. It’s not over with just a bit of pain. Without my permission, trying to forcefully remove it would result in ’boom!’ Hahaha~"

While speaking, Lin Jie made an extremely exaggerated gesture, and his description made Sun Wen shiver and stop his motion.

"Damn it, what have you done to us? You madman!"

Sun Wen roared at Lin Jie,, but the latter couldn’t bother to pay him any attention and turned to the others, saying, "Now, just obediently listen to me. If you don’t, this is what will happen."

With that, Lin Jie pressed a red button on the phone screen, and poor Sun Wen ran out of breath and was pressed into his stomach. A strange warm current flowed from the enslavement worm on his neck into his body. At first, Sun Wen didn’t feel anything, but soon he felt an urgent need for something, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He didn’t understand the feeling; it was an especially uncomfortable sensation, so intense that his body trembled violently, as if it crawled with ants tearing at his flesh.

It was not painful nor itchy, but just unbearable, worse than pain itself. It was hard to describe, a feeling of maladjustment—yes, that was it, a feeling of extreme discomfort, as if his body would experience extreme repulsion to anything it touched!

Fortunately, this soul-tormenting discomfort lasted only a minute or two. Soon, Lin Jie stopped, and by that time, the soldiers who had the enslavement worms installed were already foaming at the mouth, their faces contorted in agony.

"This is the punishment for disobedience. If you don’t want to suffer this way again, then just obediently listen to me," Lin Jie put his phone back into his pocket and looked ahead. At the end was a plaza, and because the end of the corridor was the limit of his view, he couldn’t see the entire picture. But even then, Lin Jie could sense the vastness of the plaza at the end.

As if sensing something, Lin Jie muttered under his breath, "Have the people arrived yet? But it’s already too late."

Then, his gaze shifted back to Sun Wen and the others, and he said, "Pick up your weapons, if you don’t want to go through that again."

Sun Wen and Old Guo hesitated, but remembering the discomfort, their bodies involuntarily shivered. They didn’t want to experience it again; besides, this man named Lin Jie was too powerful. Even if they would rather die than obey, they didn’t believe the shelter’s weapons could stop him, so they might as well honestly follow this man’s orders.

So, they picked up their guns and followed Lin Jie towards the front of the corridor.

"Old Guo, we’re here. Where are the enemies?"

They didn’t walk for long when a voice came from the end of the corridor, and soon a man in heavy armor arrived with hundreds of soldiers rushing over. Seeing Old Guo, he immediately shouted, but quickly, those following Lin Jie, including Sun Wen, hesitated and then opened fire on this man!

"What’s going on?"

The man quickly dodged and yelled in anger, but what he faced was an even fiercer attack. Old Guo was firing while shouting, "Please forgive us, we’ve been implanted with enslavement worms! We’re sorry~"
