You're sending max-level players to be cannon fodder?

Fang Qian was taken aback: "Contract? No, I'll entrust this to you for safekeeping for now. In exchange, you unlock the poison ring, and you can return it to me after we kill this contaminant. I'll definitely wear the poison ring obediently."

Zhong Xun: "You can go without wearing the poison ring forever, but I'll keep this thing safe for a long time."

Fang Qian felt a chill in his heart, and inexplicably had the feeling that he had fallen into a pit. He took a shallow breath: "This thing is just a collectible that I really like, it doesn't have much significance."

Zhong Xun nodded: "What a coincidence! I also think it has great collectible value."

Fang Qian: "..."

Should I pretend not to care, then run away and cause some trouble to force him to return it to me?

"Not wearing the poison ring doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. If there's any unusual activity," Zhong Xun smiled, "I guarantee it will immediately crumble into a pile of powder."

Fang Qian: "!"

Across from him, Du Ruosen, who had been listening to their loud conspiracy, opened his eyes wearily. His mind wasn't quite sharp, but he could still understand the idea of ​​"killing this pollutant."

"Hmm?" Du Ruosen noticed the large patch of black blood on Fang Qian's side: "Why is your blood the same color as the contaminants?"

  

This is such a stupid question that nobody wants to answer it.

Fang Qian took a deep breath: "Listen to me..."

"I won't listen!" Zhong Xun shouted, then shoved Fang Qian away with lightning speed. In that instant, he entered his fingerprint and deftly unlocked the clasp.

Fang Qian fell to the ground, but that was his moment of weakness. As the familiar energy source coursed through his body, he clenched his fist, and a burst of power erupted from him.

The area he had just been in had been burned by the corrosive slime, leaving large patches of burn marks and billowing white smoke.

Du Ruosen was somewhat displeased: "I think you haven't grasped the situation."

Fang Qian stood up and said sincerely, "I think it's you who hasn't figured out the situation."

The next second, Fang Qian took a step forward with his right foot, and the pebbles at his feet flew into the air. His figure disappeared on the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Du Ruosen's large, yellowish eyeballs.

He even bowed slightly, seemingly to give Du Ruosen a clearer view: "Do you know? In a world of pollutants, people like you are called 'hybrids.' Don't misunderstand, I don't mean it in any derogatory way, it's just a fact. Although I don't know how you broke through the final genetic barrier, this is your limit."

Du Ruosen finally realized that the "person" in front of him was a pollutant!

The pollutant genes within his body clearly sent him a signal: a humanoid intelligent pollutant, extremely dangerous.

Du Ruosen's flippers pressed against the rock wall, but to Fang Qian, it was almost a slow-motion scene.

The man suddenly lifted his right leg in a stretching pose even more perfect than that of a ballet dancer, creating a short sonic boom that froze Du Ruosen for a moment before he was suddenly blasted up the mountain!

A large glob of corrosive liquid was poured over his head, almost covering the small puddle. Zhong Xun looked up, a look of disgust on his face: "No way!"

He said no, and Fang Qian paused, realizing that this irreparable Omega might be killed. The main concern was that once the small miasma broke, it would be difficult to explain to Judge Meng.

Given Meng Jingting's ruthless methods against pollutants, getting punched twice would indeed hurt quite a bit.

Fang Qian returned to the ground at lightning speed, put his arm around Zhong Xun's shoulder, and carried him away.

"Control him," Zhong Xun whispered. "I have spiritual tentacles."

Fang Qian gave a faint "hmm".

Fang Qian moved with incredible agility, leaping and twisting across the rock face. The corrosive slime was always a fraction of a step behind him. Meanwhile, Du Ruosen had already reached his maximum jumping height. In the blink of an eye, Fang Qian appeared above him, boom—

The giant frog was kicked hard back into the pond.

This fall may have broken Du Ruosen's ribs. He was panting heavily, but couldn't get up for a long time.

Upon landing, Zhong Xun's spiritual tentacles immediately rushed towards the energy source.

Having previously controlled so many little frogs, its spiritual sea was depleted, and its tentacles were in a state of "hunger." It skillfully peeled an onion, devouring the black mist outside the core layer by layer. Under the intense pain, Du Ruosen's frog body tensed up, and his eyes almost popped out.

"Stop...stop!!!"

The energy source's explosive counterattack sent the tentacles flying out violently.

Fang Qian thought to herself that she still had to rely on me, but then Zhong Xun suddenly spoke up: "Du Ruosen."

He said, "Die as a human being."

It was as if a drop of water was rippling through my mind.

Du Ruosen's skin was bulging with pustules, and he was in excruciating pain, on the verge of losing control and self-destructing at any moment. At first, he found this statement ridiculous. As a human? What did he have to do with being human in his current state?

He thought it was Zhong Xun's psychological manipulation, but when he met those silent and calm eyes, Du Ruosen felt as if a long-dead place had been struck hard.

Completely out of control, the rotting flesh peeled away, and the "new shoots" that grew out contained signals different from those of the pollutants, flowing through the body like an electric shock—something that belonged to Du Ruosen himself.

It is his unwavering courage, from the moment he was born to the moment he ventured into the big city alone, and his complete twenty-seven years of human life.

"I assure you, Song Chu will definitely be sent to the experimental table and suffer everything you have suffered."

Fang Qian was speechless.

Du Ruosen chuckled: "You're from the Tribunal."

"No." Zhong Xun lowered his eyelashes. "I just want to do as much for him as possible within the limited time. My ideas are not suitable for the Tribunal."

When Du Ruosen crashed into the mountainside, a hole was torn open. Now, as he looked up, the sunlight was still very intense.

Actually, being a pollutant doesn't feel good.

Living in a daze, acting on instinct, personal will is covered in dust and abandoned in a corner like a broken pot.

At the same time, Du Ruosen knew that he couldn't escape this time.

Meng Jingting refused to cooperate, thinking he had captured two hostages, but it turned out he had put himself on the gallows.

He wasn't afraid of death; he was just unwilling to accept the inhuman torture he had endured during the fusion process.

"I'm no longer human..." Du Ruosen looked at Zhong Xun.

"You still have humanity," Zhong Xun said in a deep voice. "I thought that was the ultimate standard for judging whether someone is human. Those scumbags don't deserve to turn you into this, Mr. Reporter."

"Mr. Reporter..." Du Ruosen's pupils lit up. Yes, he used to be the best reporter in that newspaper, even though he didn't earn much. "But my news articles were all very well written."

The spiritual tentacles penetrated deep into the energy source. Du Ruosen couldn't be unaware of such an invasion, but he might truly be at his end. Without much fear or rejection, Du Ruosen spread his webbed feet in a descriptive gesture: "You must report that it was the peacemakers who disregarded human life and stifled a rising star in the press."

Zhong Xun: "Of course."

The tentacle gripped the purple core.

Fang Qian stood up, ready to eat.

Du Ruosen sighed: "You must give me a quick death."

"You can't feel any pain, sir."

The last thing Du Ruosen saw was Zhong Xun standing in the clear light, smiling and saying goodbye to him: "Goodbye, Mr. Reporter."

Zhong Xun hadn't lied to him. His body was enveloped in clouds, feeling as comfortable as if he had returned to his mother's womb. He subconsciously raised his arms and saw a pair of familiar human hands.

Du Ruosen smiled with relief, "I need to go write the press release..."
