After the call, Lu Luo prepared to bandage his wounds.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of medical supplies in the Bluetech Pharmaceutical room.
He quickly found gauze and some disinfectant powder in the room's medical kit and began to clean his wounds.
Time flew by.
"Wailing Blade synthesized."
The white light of the fusion gradually dissipated, and the four previous items slowly transformed into a long, blade-shaped object.
The spine of the blade curved with the edge, with two blood grooves and two wavy nail-print patterns on either side.
The blade was exceptionally sharp, about 1.2 meters long, with a 15-centimeter-long hilt, as black as ink.
"Wailing Blade"
Grade: Fine

Effect 1 - Phantom Pain: Inflicts mental damage equal to half of your physical damage.
Effect 2 - Malice: Summons a Tier 2 Ghost-type – Malice – to fight for you for 10 minutes.
Cooldown: 7 days.
Description: Memories of hatred, chaotic distortions, humble admiration.
This is a weapon formed from concentrated thoughts.
"Holy crap!"
"It's understandable that uncultured people like to say those two words, but I feel your description of this knife is still missing something, like, 'Holy crap, that's awesome!'"
Lu Luo looked at the description of the Wailing Blade, deep in thought.
"The memories of hatred are Zhang Zhe, the chaotic distortions are the deformed species, and the humble admiration is Qin Wanyu?
Who does she admire?"
"A girl who succumbed to emotions and turned into an Xenomorph , how pitiful!
The key is that the person she likes is such a jerk, it's infuriating."
The Wailing Blade not only had high damage but also possessed two seemingly powerful special effects, which greatly compensated for Lu Luo's current lack of damage.
"It's about time to go find them."
…At the entrance of the New Hope Club, the gloomy sky once again began to rain.
People hurriedly sought shelter from the rain, either opening umbrellas or returning indoors.
Ludy neither opened an umbrella nor sought shelter, walking through the crowd amidst many surprised glances.
Looking at his dilapidated motorcycle, Ludy lit a cigarette for himself and began to mutter.
"That's Bluetech Biotechnology across the street.
If I go there, I probably won't be able to freeload at the club anymore.
Are you really sure?"
Since it was a self-question, no one answered Ludy's question.
He silently smoked his cigarette, completely unconcerned by the rain, which was deadly for ordinary people, constantly drenching him.
His clothes gradually became soaked, and the cigarette in his hand slowly extinguished.
Only then did Ludy smile.
"Once I take him in, I'll have subordinates.
It's basic practice for subordinates to treat their boss to a club, isn't it?
Being treated is the same as freeloading; both are free, so the nature is similar.
Saving people, this is doable."
In fact, Ludy just wanted to give himself a reason, a reason that would allow him to act to save Lu Luo.
Ludy no longer touched his old motorcycle.
He suddenly stomped his foot, and the rainwater formed a ring around his feet, but it didn't splash out.
When they looked at Ludy again, he had already reached the top of a building and was leaping between rooftops at an extremely fast speed… On the other side of Bluetech Pharmaceutical's rest area, a fierce battle was underway.
Zhou Kai leaned against the wall, panting, feeling as if he was about to collapse.
Meanwhile, Gu Fangyi and Chu Qi, after jointly killing a ghoul, were cornered by a scorpion-like crimson armored Xenomorph .
Gu Fangyi's face was a bit pale.
He had already been injured by the Red Armor before.
The Red Armor's entire body was covered in toxins, and they were extremely violent fire toxins.
"Our attacks can't cause any damage to it.
This thing is a complete monster."
It was no wonder Gu Fangyi's mentality was a bit unbalanced.
He had felt powerless when facing the deformed species in the 404 Exhibition Hall before, but back then he could still damage the deformed species with firearms.
But now, the Red Armor he faced was even stronger than the nameless deformed species before, and much stronger.
Repeated failures dealt a great blow to the proud Gu Fangyi.
He even began to doubt himself.
Chu Qi's condition wasn't very good either.
Although she was no longer hiding her strength at this point, the Red Armor's power was not something ordinary people could handle.
"Gu Fangyi, now is not the time to be disheartened.
Moreover, this monster is far more complex than you imagine.
The Red Armor is a transformed version of the Blue Armor, a Tier 2 elite Xenomorph , a stronger individual than ordinary Tier 2 Xenomorph , and very difficult to deal with."
Chu Qi had some things she didn't say, which was that the Red Armor was a new type of Xenomorph created by Bluetech Pharmaceutical using biological agents, and it was also currently the highest-level controllable Xenomorph .
That bastard Song Hanna, calling it a test, clearly wanted Lu Luo and the others dead!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Clang, clang, clang!"
She fired three shots, but the damage inflicted by this large-caliber pistol on the Red Armor was merely a dent in its carapace, completely without practical significance.
Chu Qi had not yet learned how to attach dark energy to bullets.
Gu Fangyi knew how to attach dark energy, but his meager dark energy had long been used up.
Among the three of them, only she was a Tier 1 transcendent.
Gu Fangyi and Zhou Kai had only just started and had not officially advanced.
Now Gu Fangyi had no dark energy, and Zhou Kai was purely a bystander, leaving her alone to deal with the Red Armor, with almost no chance of winning.
This was destined to be an almost impossible battle to win.
"So what do we do now?
It seems there's no way to hurt it."
Chu Qi drew a mercenary combat knife and rubbed the blade with her hand, making it even sharper than before.
This was Chu Qi's talent sequence, C-63 - Weapon Enhancement, which sounded somewhat similar to Lu Luo's ability to make weapons sharper through fusion.
However, Lu Luo's was a change, while Chu Qi's was a direct enhancement, such as making weapons sharper or harder.
"Don't ask about that.
You take Zhou Kai and leave first, go find Lu Luo, and then escape!
I'm already with Bluetech Pharmaceutical, so I'll be fine."
"Impossible.
Since we're all here, I can't just leave you alone."
Gu Fangyi was still the same old good guy, usually very quiet, but at crucial moments, he never abandoned anyone.
Even ordinary people like Liu Ting, who would only be a burden, he never gave up on.
However, such an action did not earn Chu Qi's approval; instead, it drew her ridicule.
"Gu Fangyi, your potential is high, but your pity and compassion are your greatest weaknesses.
Compared to Lu Luo, you are ridiculously naive.
Inside the wall, you only feel the laws of the wasteland, but outside the wall, the rules of the transcendent are the laws of the food chain.
The weak have no say."
"Chu Qi…"
"Go.
You have no dark energy now.
Staying here would only be a burden to me."
"Gu Fangyi, let's go.
She's right; we're just a burden if we stay here.
Hurry and leave."
Zhou Kai, who had recovered some of his strength, also tried to persuade Gu Fangyi at this time.
Gu Fangyi was pulled by Zhou Kai, and after a moment of hesitation, he nodded to Chu Qi.
"I understand."
