Ten minutes later.
Su Weiwei brought Bai Zihe to the company's research institute.
"Ah—"
Just then, a scream echoed from inside.
Then.
Several people rushed out like madmen, attacking and tearing at anyone they saw.
Their eyes were bloodshot, their expressions vacant, just like what Bai Zihe had seen in the office video earlier!
"Not good!"
"They've gone mad too, quick, attack together!"
The security guards discovered this and immediately rushed forward with shields and electric batons.
These past few days.
This was not the first time something like this had happened.
After the initial panic, these security guards had developed some means of dealing with the situation.
Bang!
A madman had just tackled a staff member, opening his mouth to bite, when he was suddenly struck on the head by a security guard's shield.
Blood immediately gushed from his head!
The madman's eyes flashed with bloodlust, and he immediately abandoned the staff member, charging towards the security guard.
The security guard's heart tightened, and he turned on his electric baton and pressed it against the madman.
Zzzt zzzt zzzt—
The powerful current caused the madman to falter, paralyzing him for a moment.
A hint of relief flashed across the security guard's face.
But in the next second, a sudden change occurred.
The madman suddenly threw off the electric baton and lunged forward again.
They felt no pain!
Nor did they fear anything!
Electric batons...
Might be very effective against ordinary people, but for them, there was no difference.
The security guard was caught off guard, raising his shield to block, but it was too late. The strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person directly knocked him to the ground.
Then.
The madman straddled the security guard, clawing and biting at him!
Such scenes were unfolding everywhere.
Seeing the dire situation, Bai Zihe immediately darted into the fray.
Su Weiwei, her mind in a whirl, instinctively cried out, "Be careful!"
In the blink of an eye, Bai Zihe appeared behind the madmen, using his hand blade to easily knock them unconscious, where they fell to the ground, still.
But even so.
Several security guards had already been injured.
Deep gashes appeared on their bodies, blood flowing freely, a shocking sight!
"Director Su."
"Director Su, you're here."
The security guards only then noticed Bai Zihe and the two of them.
Most of them didn't recognize Bai Zihe and greeted Su Weiwei.
Su Weiwei nodded and then looked at the madmen subdued by Bai Zihe, a trace of worry flashing across her face. She ordered, "Those of you who are injured, go get yourselves bandaged."
"The rest of you."
"Lock these madmen up."
Su Weiwei's voice was low.
If this matter was not handled properly, it would likely bring immense trouble to the Bai Corporation.
Bai Zihe casually pointed to one of the madmen and instructed, "Leave him behind."
The security guard paused for a moment and walked towards another madman.
Bai Zihe grabbed the wrist of that madman, and his sharp eyebrows immediately knitted together.
This pulse...
It was very similar to the corpse-men cultivated by Wang Defa that he had encountered at the underground fight club before.
It was a sign of a蛊 worm being planted within the body!
This surprised Bai Zihe.
Seeing the change in his expression, Su Weiwei immediately asked, "Mr. Bai, what exactly is the situation with these madmen?"
Bai Zihe did not answer immediately, but instead sensed the subtle differences in the pulse.
After a moment, he looked up and said in a deep voice, "These people... they have all been infected by 蛊 worms, which is why they have turned into living dead-like puppets, madly attacking anyone they see."
As Bai Zihe finished speaking.
The security guards who were still busy drew in sharp breaths.
"Ah?"
"It's actually, 蛊 worms!"
"They, they've been infected by 蛊 worms?"
Although they were not familiar with 蛊 worms, the evil things that circulated in folklore had long been notorious.
Discovering that 蛊 worms were present now, they were indeed shocked.
Su Weiwei's alluring lips parted in astonishment, her face full of confusion. "This, the drug caused the 蛊 worms... How could this be?"
However.
Bai Zihe's next sentence made everyone present's hearts pound.
"And..."
"These 蛊 worms are contagious."
"Once bitten or scratched by someone who has been planted with a 蛊 worm, they will also mutate into puppets controlled by the 蛊 worm!"
As these words were spoken.
Many of the security guards turned pale.
Because many of them had been injured during their recent fight with the 蛊 worm puppets!
"Hoo... hoo—"
Not long after Bai Zihe finished speaking.
One of the security guards suddenly leaned back, his eyes filling with blood-red, and his entire person became vacant and listless.
He caught sight of a staff member beside him out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly letting out a roar, he launched a frenzied attack. https:/
The other security guards who were injured also underwent changes at roughly the same time and began to attack the nearest targets within their sight!
In an instant, the entire laboratory descended into chaos.
And the security guard whose pulse Bai Zihe had examined also changed. His eyes turned red, and he immediately lunged at Bai Zihe.
Su Weiwei's eyes widened with fury, and she instinctively pushed Bai Zihe away.
The next moment.
One of the security guard's hands grabbed Su Weiwei's right shoulder.
Riiip!
Su Weiwei's light blue clothing was torn open, and a bloody claw mark stretched from her shoulder to her armpit.
Blood poured out, a shocking sight!
A sinister, strange, yet very subtle black mist began to spread from the wound towards her neck and head at a visible speed.
The moment Su Weiwei pushed him away, Bai Zihe knew something was amiss.
He turned around and the moment he saw the scene, he knew.
Pfft pfft pfft!
Several golden lights, swift as meteors, instantly pierced the bodies of the rampaging security guards.
The security guards' bodies stiffened, their acupoints sealed by Bai Zihe's Yin Yang Seventy-Two Needles, and then they all fell to the ground, motionless.
And Bai Zihe, he had already caught Su Weiwei as she was falling.
Su Weiwei, leaning in Bai Zihe's arms, looked at him fixedly and asked weakly, "Mr... Mr. Bai, am I... am I also going to... become like them?"
Bai Zihe gazed into her deep eyes and said in a deep voice, "No, don't think like that!"
Although he himself would be fine if these 蛊 worm puppets scratched him, Su Weiwei's sincerity, her willingness to be injured to push him away...
Bai Zihe was not made of wood; he could feel it.
He would not allow such a situation to happen.
The moment he caught Su Weiwei, Bai Zihe moved quickly, pressing several key acupoints on her body.
Especially around the wound, all the acupoints were sealed, and then the Yin Yang Seventy-Two Needles were used to encircle this entire area of flesh and blood.
Although the black mist was subtle, Bai Zihe saw it clearly.
After several attempts to escape, it chose to conceal itself.
Su Weiwei's complexion improved slightly. "Really?"
"Mr. Bai, you won't lie to me, will you?"
Bai Zihe looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "Don't worry, with me here, you'll be fine."
"However..."
Bai Zihe frowned as he watched the vanishing black mist. "The 蛊 poison has entered your bloodstream and must be expelled in time."
"Otherwise..."
"Even if it doesn't ultimately infect you, it will cause this part of your muscle to necrosis and atrophy!"
Su Weiwei's greatest pride, besides her tea ceremony, was her delicate collarbone. Hearing Bai Zihe say this, her face instantly changed.
Necrosis of this area of muscle would undoubtedly turn her into an ugly monster.
As a woman, especially a beautiful woman, Su Weiwei absolutely could not tolerate such a thing happening.
She immediately looked up and asked with hope, "Mr. Bai, you must have a way, right?"
Bai Zihe nodded and replied, "Detoxifying is not difficult, but it requires..."
"Requires what?"
"To take off your clothes!"
Su Weiwei's face instantly flushed, and she said softly, "It's alright!"
"Mr. Bai, quickly, help me detoxify!"
