"V, we need to get out of here first!"

Jack Wells acted decisively, grabbing V's arm and pulling him away.

"But Ke Ling!"

V was somewhat resistant; she wanted to rush back, at least to help attract some attention.

"V! Remember what he said! You have to live! Otherwise, he died for nothing!"

Jack Wells roared; he was just as upset. He hadn't been able to help at all downstairs and had only been informed by V.

The three men arrived excitedly, and although they got what they wanted, one of them was left behind. Jack Wells was even more upset than V.

Because Ke Ling still followed him down this path, and in fact, he was the one who picked her up at the Wild Wolf Bar.

But they must not act impulsively or let their emotions cloud their judgment at this time. If they go back now, it will only make Ke Ling's sacrifice meaningless.

"Besides, he's an alien, he might not even die."

Pulling along a somewhat distraught V, Jack Wells quickly left the biotechnology company building.

At the same time, he sent a message to Ke Ling.

"Survive! My alien brothers, we're waiting in the car, ready to pick you up anytime!"

Jack Wells still felt there was hope; he believed the man would return covered in blood.

If Sasha overheard their conversation, she would be deeply moved. It's a movie for four people, yet she doesn't even deserve a name.

Unfortunately, while they value loyalty, V and Jack Wells weren't exactly going to develop any real feelings for a complete stranger with whom they barely knew each other.

He and Ke Ling, at least they fought together.

Chapter 39 Blood Demon Shadow

Chapter 39 Blood Demon Art: Shadow

"go!"

Inside the building, taking advantage of the fire and smoke from the explosion, Ke Ling and Sasha ran quickly through the corridors.

On the other side is the direction of the elevator entrance, from which most of the mechanical guards came. At this moment, the explosion has separated the middle barrier.

Ke Ling and Sasha ran in the exact opposite direction; the staircase was on this side, and they could go down from here too.

"Follow me."

As they ran, Ke Ling said to Sasha, making his meaning clear: Sasha could be used as a human shield.

""

Sasha pursed her lips and didn't reply. The cat looked serious as she replanned her escape route.

The two ran to the stairwell and immediately stopped, because the sound of footsteps was already very close, indicating that mechanical guards had also come up the stairs.

"Snapped!"

The door at the top of the stairs was pushed open, and the mechanical guards quickly ran out with their guns at the ready. However, because the doorway was very narrow, only two mechanical guards came out at a time.

"Crack!"

Waiting for them outside were Ke Ling and Sasha's claws, one for each of them, who swiftly took down the two mechanical guards that had run out.

Without hesitation, they rushed through the stairwell towards the mechanical guards behind them.

If they are far away, the mechanical guards can suppress Ke Ling and Sasha with their firearms.

But once close combat begins, they are as fragile as paper, completely unable to restrain Ke Ling and Sasha.

These mechanical guards seem to be in small teams of three or four. This time, eight mechanical guards came and were arranged in two teams, with four on each side.

After taking down the two in the lead, Ke Ling and Sasha charged straight into the mechanical guards.

Both use claws, but their fighting styles are completely different.

Sasha attacks with the grace and precision of a cat, without any hesitation.

She pierced the neck of one mechanical guard, then leaned against it, ducked and turned, and stood in front of the next mechanical guard. Her claws pierced the square head of that guard from below.

Her eyes flashed, and the last mechanical guard froze in place, easily dispatched by her with a single claw strike.

Meanwhile, Ke Ling, standing nearby, unleashed a powerful bull charge, knocking all three mechanical guards down the stairs, leaving the man and the three machines tumbling into a heap.

In the chaos, Ke Ling slashed left and right repeatedly, knocking the three mechanical guards to the ground.

[Ding! Experience points full, level increased to Lv3, current experience.]

[Gain 1 attribute point.]

[Gained 1 skill point.]

After defeating all the mechanical guards, Ke Ling still didn't see the experience calculation notification, but the upgrade notification had already popped up.

With each level he gained, he received one attribute point and one skill point that he hadn't received during his last level up.

Looking at it this way, Ke Ling understood. Although the experience settlement message did not pop up in real time, the experience was always automatically gained after killing the enemy.

So when his experience points were full, he automatically leveled up.

That's good too. During the battle, as long as he levels up, he can add points at any time, just like he does now.

"Limited System, add points."

Ke Ling silently recited the name to himself, then directly added 1 attribute point to Constitution, continuing to implement the attribute point allocation strategy he had previously devised.

First, raise your constitution to 24 points so that you can maintain the immortal state for 48 hours.

Ke Ling didn't hold back on that 1 skill point; he immediately added it to his only skill, [Demon Transformation].

Now is not the time to save, and it seems that skill points are given for every two levels, so they are not too difficult to obtain.

By analogy, skill optimization points may also be obtained in the same way, but it's unclear how many levels you need to reach to get 1 point.

[Demon Transformation Lv3: Transformed into a demon by the blood of the Demon King, Strength, Agility, and Constitution +7, Charisma -9, gains Blood Demon Art and Constitution Transformation status.]

[Blood Demon Art: Shadow has been activated]

After adding 1 skill point to [Demon Transformation], two notifications popped up, leaving Ke Ling speechless.

That 1 skill point is totally worth it!

In addition to adding 1 point each to the basic Strength, Agility, and Constitution, Charisma was reduced by 1 point, which is equivalent to adding 1 point.

Most importantly, the Blood Demon Art that had been showing as inactive and which Ke Ling didn't know how to activate was actually activated because of this!

Blood Demon Art: Shadow

Apart from the name, there are no other prompts on the system panel. Clearly, Ke Ling needs to figure out the specific effects and usage of Blood Demon Art: Shadow on his own.

Of course, now is not the time to figure this out; he still needs to hurry up and get Sasha to escape.

"What happened? Is it a problem with your injury?"

In just a short time, Sasha noticed something was wrong. She leaned closer, her face full of worry.

She had just seen Ke Ling suddenly freeze for a moment and thought it was because his injury had flared up, so she was extremely worried.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Look at my size, that little gunshot wound is nothing to me."

Ke Ling waved with a smile, then showed off his muscles. Even under his clothes, his muscular physique was quite intimidating.

"It's good that you're alright. Let's go quickly. I've already replanned the route."

Sasha smiled and nodded; she was beginning to believe Ke Ling's words.

Because she noticed that Ke Ling's wound seemed to have indeed stopped bleeding.

"go!"

Ke Ling nodded and took the lead, deliberately letting Sasha see the wound.

Instead of immediately healing the wound, he created the impression that it was slowly healing.

Although this would cause Ke Ling to endure pain at the wound site, this recovery method was clearly more acceptable than a quick recovery.

In this world, there also exist biological components called "muscles that can regenerate on their own".

Although there aren't many people like the Animal Gang who go to such extremes to modify their bodies, research on biological components, which are the counterpart to cyber components, has never stopped.

Otherwise, Lao Wei wouldn't have thought that Ke Ling was likely an experimental subject that escaped from the laboratory of some large company.

Without any background or family history, this person appeared out of nowhere, with a strange body and inhuman structure. All this information combined meant that Ke Ling didn't need to actively mislead anyone.

In fact, Ke Ling herself had never thought of such a statement; it was entirely Lao Wei's own imagination.

So many strange things have happened in this world that people are used to them. As long as Ke Ling doesn't act too outrageously, there generally won't be any problems.

Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!!

Chapter 40 Relying on Metaphysics Instead of Science

"I have a bad feeling about this."

As Ke Ling continued down the stairs, she noticed something strange.

"There seem to be too few mechanical guards and drones."

Sasha also had a serious expression; she had also noticed the problem.

They had only come down a few floors when they encountered only four or five mechanical guards and drones, which was clearly an odd number.

According to her calculations, there must be at least hundreds or thousands of mechanical guards and drones in this building, not to mention the reinforcements from outside.

"Damn, are they all waiting for us down there?"

Ke Ling's lips twitched. He had considered this possibility. At this moment, the floors below might already be filled with mechanical guards and drones.

After a few small squads of them delivered the experience, the mechanical guards and drones seemed to have learned their lesson and stopped doing so.
