The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 222 - Signal Sender
"Damn, why is this so?!"
That man, Feng Yong had just stomped his two tightly clenched hands on the table. The glass bottles trembled, one of which broke on the floor giving off a thin smoke.
Since leaving his private laboratory, much of the data has disappeared and some of his belongings have been confiscated. Not only was it the worst news, since it managed to escape suddenly a huge shock struck the Wei Empire.
"The end has begun. And if I die here ... Everything will be buried with my body. This world will be destroyed. Shit, shit, shit. If they hadn't taken all my experiments... They managed to create the virus this fast even though I haven't perfected it yet. And now they're not just killing people, but themselves."
Shelves filled with medicine trembled again, endless quakes struck. Just like the look on his face now that had been adorned by great worry. Sweat dripped down his face, his hands clutching the trembling paper and out there a raging roar returned making his laboratory shake.
The pounding on the door made him grow angry. He hurriedly chased and stuffed it with a chair or cupboard, but the pounding grew louder. His fingers trembled while his legs retreated.
A huge fist was imprinted on the thick iron door. Unmistakably, it was a high-grade infected hand. His strength was immense when compared to a frail 49-year-old man like him. The man searched for one item hurriedly, "Did they also take my Fire Mushroom?"
His hands ransacked the table rack and could not find it.
"It's over."
He pulled out a map and important books. "I can die here, but this book don't. I'll take him up on the roof and if it's lucky the people who realize my lead will get it." During that time he took a swing to run, next to the door he would meet with the stairs. Most likely he will be bitten. But at least, he had to put the book to a place that was clean from being infected.
The next door blow made the hinge detach, Feng Yong clasped tightly onto his luggage. He gulped roughly, his legs instantly limp as the form appeared at his front door. It was so big that it left no room to escape.
Infected it used to be a great fighter, his eyes were so horrible looking at him. Predators target their prey.
Feng Yong reflexively tightened his back against the wall, his legs refusing to run. Infected it was about to walk towards him but in an instant something made him jump in shock.
An infected head that was as sharp as the end of a broken door scattered its contents and blood. Feng Yong shouted, the item in his arms was lying around just like that. Someone kicked that head from behind.
The bright sunlight in covered some of the shadows that walked into the laboratory, then a small creature in a shabby white robe came in followed by someone who was holding another figure.
Feng Yong was wary, he could not confirm they were human or infected. Looking for anything to defend yourself. Until he heard someone's voice in front.
"Is this the 206 miles in question?"
Feng Yong's eyes were wide open. He stopped moving and stared fixedly ahead.
"So you're human?"
Unbelieving, Feng Yong approached. Where the infected may speak like humans. And sure enough he saw the person who had just invited him to speak was a human. Then beside him was a fox that had a terrifying aura.
That person carried a girl, then from behind a dragon grazed between Xin Chen and Feng Yong.
"Rraagh!"
Feng Yong then retreated. Fearful.
"We came here for one or two things, did you send that signal?"
Stuttering, Feng Yong replied. "Really, i! Finally after a long wait and you found me. But it's too late ... The virus has spread..." His pale-thirsty face looked desperate.His gaze was sidetracked on a girl in Xin Chen's hands.
"By the way I am Feng Yong, former researcher of A-3 Laboratory. It's good to see you guys."
"What's wrong with that girl?" continued.
"Can you take care of him? I've done the first treatment for him, it's just that his condition hasn't changed." Xin Chen brought Fu Hua's body to the place where Feng Yong told him to, he was laid down in one of the rooms that was indeed made for medicinal actions.
Feng Yong's own laboratory did not look like an outside laboratory. It was made as if a large garden was built next to the house. But in it so many goods and research tools that the price is not playing. The Lightning Fox smelled an awkwardness, immediately saying without further ado.
"Is this place fully guarded before?"
"Master Fox, you have a sharp mind. It's true this place has been guarded by a group of hit men before."
"Why did you send that signal? What do you mean and what is this all for?"
Three questions at once caused a complexity on his face, Feng Yong threw away a glance. "if I tell him this will be a long time, before that I have to take care of this girl first, I will explain it when night falls."
Hours passed, Feng Yong repackaged his equipment inside a special suitcase. His expression was bad, Xin Chen was able to read that. He looked back behind the glass window.
It was not long before Feng Yong approached the two of them. The Lightning Fox turned around, seeing Feng Yong sitting on one long chair.
"It all started with my mistakes."
Hearing this, Xin Chen turned around, sitting in front of Feng Yong while some questions began to appear in his head.
For some reason, when he saw Feng Yong's face it looked like a huge regret. The look in his eyes shattered to say the next sentence his lips quivered.
"I've discovered a secret that shouldn't be reopened. At that time I was so curious, someone like me ... When I find something new to research, my soul will burn. And all my life I've dedicated to it, but I've brought a disaster that will never be forgiven."
The fox interrupts, "So you're the creator of this virus?"
"No, I'm just continuing what's been created."
The ten fingers of Feng Yong fused together, cold sweat descending on his forehead. After uncovering the truth he was convinced the Lightning Fox and Xin Chen beheaded him.
"It all started about 1400 years ago. When a great war broke out on a land so revered for its science." The man began to explain, complicated to fill the look on his face.
"At that time, an alchemist like me started creating something 'deviating' from the code of ethics of an alchemist. He was researching the blood of a child of mixed blood of humans and demons. The blood is called sin and is cursed by the Demon King until the end of his life."
Feng Yong continued, that the marriage was opposed both the demon race and the humans. That blind love gave birth to a great calamity. The birth of the child was greeted by the appearance of a blood moon, suddenly the village where the child was born was hit by a disaster for months. Eventually the husband and wife were hanged. Then his son was burned alive.
But they missed something.
The child is a sin that has been cursed, he inherits the power of fire in his veins. Ordinary fire won't kill it.
The man who saved the little boy played the role of being his adoptive father. Secretly using the blood of the boy, researching for up to thirteen years until the child became a teenager and began to realize something was wrong. When he realized it, a huge plague raged. Killing everyone who at that time began to accuse him of being the carrier of the disease.
Until the plague was over, the alchemist who was about to be killed by his adopted son kept all his data and research results in the basement of an old castle. The place brought disaster back, though,
"And all this is the work of my two hands that are currently covered in blood. You can take my life now..."
Xin Chen took out the Steel Phoenix Sword, it pierced through Feng Yong's neck to the back of the seat.
