No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Not long ago, he suddenly sat up straight on the operating table.

At the time, we thought he had regained consciousness, and we even asked him if he wanted some dumplings, but then...

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Shu raised her hand to interrupt, "What kind of filling is it?"

"Uh... cabbage and pork," the deputy replied instinctively.

"I'm not interested. You can continue."

The deputy wanted to tell him not to interrupt with such trivial matters, but remembering Jiang Shu's previous display of power, he dared not say anything more and could only continue the narration.

"He completely ignored us and walked straight to the incubation chamber. Before we could react, he smashed several of them, causing the contents to spill out, while shouting something like 'It's done!'"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and his face turned ashen.

Without saying a word, he rushed into the laboratory to check the situation on site.

Jiang Shu asked curiously, "Is this thing very important?"

“The cultivation chambers contain sand for different purposes,” the deputy explained. “Once they leave the desert, the desert’s power will be lost, so these precious samples have always been kept on the train. The ones in the lab are all unique.”

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, just put it back if it leaks..."

As she spoke, Jiang Shu suddenly remembered something and slowly looked up at the ventilation duct:

"Um...those things that just flew in there, could they be...?"

"Hmm..." The deputy nodded with a serious expression.

"So those sand grains were alive?" Jiang Shu asked, somewhat surprised.

"This..." The deputy hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, those inside are all special sand golems. They didn't die; they were just sealed in a special container as a tool to supply sand with unique functions."

"Tools? Shouldn't we say livestock?"

Jiang Shu shook his head and then entered the laboratory.

As soon as Jiang Shu entered the laboratory, he saw the doctor kneeling on the ground, with several large glass jars in front of him that had been broken and were now empty.

"It's all gone...it's all over..."

Actually, there were many more glass jars like this, all of which were intact, but judging from the doctor's appearance, it was clear that the broken ones were the most important.

Jiang Shu couldn't help but sigh.

So, don't display important things out in public, or they might get damaged by naughty kids at any time.

With his back to Jiang Shu, the doctor's voice was filled with despair, as if he had lost his parents: "These are all the most precious and rarest samples. Without them, the guards' supplies will be in serious trouble..."

Meanwhile, the mischievous child Huang Helou was sitting in the corner, hugging his knees and curling up in a ball, shaking his head and looking quite abnormal.

Arriving in front of the Yellow Crane Tower, Jiang Shu squatted down and frowned as he looked at the other person's empty and lifeless eyes.

Can you understand what I'm saying?

Jiang Shu asked tentatively.

But the Yellow Crane Tower did not react in the slightest.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Shu felt that this didn't seem like acting.

Even he himself couldn't portray such a foolish character.

So this is one of the reasons why researchers concluded that he was possessed by an evil spirit, right?

"Did you accidentally inject Fu Sha into his brain and damage it?"

Jiang Shu turned to the researchers and asked.

Because he clearly remembered that he had a needle stuck in his head before, but it was inside his skull and hadn't pierced through.

If someone trips and falls at the Yellow Crane Tower, they might accidentally push a needle into their brain.

But when he turned his head, he noticed that the researchers' expressions seemed a little off.

Their faces initially showed only worry and helplessness after making a mistake, but for some reason, that expression suddenly turned into fear.

"careful!"

The deputy shouted at Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu felt a cool breeze blow across the back of his head.

So he instinctively shrank his neck.

The next instant, he felt something fly past his scalp.

Turning around abruptly, Jiang Shu only saw half of Huang Helou's face, and his mouth was split open in an unbelievable way, still in the biting motion.

So he was trying to bite off his own head!

Jiang Shu was startled and jumped back to maintain a safe distance.

After regaining his composure, he immediately became furious.

How dare you ambush me!

At this moment, the Yellow Crane Tower's next move was already imminent.

His neck suddenly stretched out like a spring, and his head rapidly expanded in sight. His originally firm and delicate skin began to become rough and quickly granulated.

Desertification!

His attack methods are similar to the doctor's, but faster and more powerful.

The doctor next to him wanted to help Jiang Shu, but before he could even stretch out his arm, Huang Helou's half-human-sized head flew in front of Jiang Shu.

Its gaping maw opened wide, its fangs gleaming with a blinding sharpness, and it swiftly snapped down at Jiang Shu's neck.

But Jiang Shu did not shy away from his sharp edge at all.

After developing in the Awakening Room for a while, although not fully developed, he is now confident that he no longer needs to rely on mechanics to fight enemies.

He went straight for it.

"drink!"

Jiang Shu took a horse stance and planted firmly on the ground. At the same time, his whole body radiated a crystal-clear luster, like a glass doll.

He slightly turned his body and delivered a powerful shoulder strike, hitting Huang Helou directly in the chin, causing the attack to deviate from its trajectory.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed Huang Helou's tongue with his left hand and pulled it forward. Despite being much smaller than Huang Helou, he still managed to lift it off the ground with minimal effort.

Because his tongue had been pulled out, Huang Helou was hesitant to bite down, and the two remained locked in a stalemate.

"This is..." the doctor was taken aback: "Tai Chi?"

A suggestion from the doctor, who was not far away, immediately reminded him of the exercise routines that the elderly people he had seen doing in the square.

He recognized Jiang Shu's gesture: "Wild horse parting its mane?"

"You do have good taste."

Jiang Shu smiled slightly, then his expression turned fierce. Sharp spikes suddenly protruded from his right arm, and he slammed a punch into Huang Helou's throat while roaring:

"A stray dog ​​is tearing my anus open!"

The moment that thorny arm pierced Huang Helou's throat, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Oh ho ho ho ho!"

A strange roar, accompanied by coughing, erupted from Huanghelou's mouth.

He instinctively tried to close his mouth, even if it meant biting off his tongue.

But just as the big mouth was about to close, Jiang Shu took the initiative to withdraw his right hand.

The features of Huanghelou, which were already distorted due to expansion, became even more twisted in an instant.

It has barbs!

Pfft!

After a crisp crack, the Yellow Crane Tower's neck sprayed out billowing yellow sand like a showerhead, and its huge head suddenly lost its support and fell to the ground.

Shaking off the sand from his hands, Jiang Shu said proudly, "This punch of mine, with twenty years of skill, is something even Zhou Xiaolin couldn't withstand!"

Although that's what he said, Jiang Shu also knew that this level of physical attack couldn't kill people who could turn into sand; at most, it could only temporarily disable them.

However, Jiang Shu never intended to kill Huang Helou in the first place.

He just found it strange that the Yellow Crane Tower would attack him for no reason.

Jiang Shu felt that the Yellow Crane Tower was probably being controlled by something.

Sure enough, right after the Yellow Crane Tower collapsed, that distorted, grotesque face finally revealed its true nature, no longer appearing as dull and stupid as before.

"You must be the strongest in this garrison, right?"

Huang Helou's voice was the same, but his tone was gloomy, and it was clear at a glance that it wasn't him.

"It seems that eliminating everyone in the car ahead of time is still a bit difficult for me, but it doesn't matter. My mission is complete, and we'll meet again in another day."

After saying that, an inconspicuous streak of light emerged from Huang Helou's trouser leg and fled towards the outside of the laboratory.

But who exactly is Jiang Shu?

His static vision may be average, but his dynamic vision is so good that even the slightest movement cannot escape his eyes. If a girl walks past him, he will even activate auto-aiming.

He can tell whether there's stock or not just by looking at it!

"Trying to slip away like a cicada? Do you think I'm blind? It's so bright!" With that, Jiang Shu took a step forward, slapped the wisp of yellow sand, clenched it into a ball, and swallowed it whole.

The Heart of the Great Wilderness seized it and refined it in an instant!

After doing all this, Jiang Shu understood that something had probably infiltrated the train.

It is highly likely that this is the target of this trip—the Sand Demon.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shu looked seriously at the crowd who were already dumbfounded.

"Did you know you were keeping a ghost in your house?"

Chapter 156 The Dream of Yellow Crane Tower

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. The doctor didn't even have time to react and asked blankly, "But... how did it get in?"

“A ventilation duct.” Jiang Shu didn’t think much of it: “The ones in the tank escaped, and this is how they got in.”

But the doctor shook his head: "No, there are so many sand golems in the desert. The train was designed with that in mind. The ventilation system is designed so that it can go out but not in."

If anything tries to enter from the outside, the device will detect it immediately, not only issuing an alarm but also automatically initiating emergency response measures.

If even this wasn't considered, wouldn't the train, constantly attacked by sand golems, have already fallen?

“That makes sense.” Jiang Shu nodded. “If it didn’t come in from the outside, doesn’t that mean it was hidden in the car from the beginning?”

"But."

The doctor found it illogical:

"Logically speaking, everyone who boards the train, whether they are guards, researchers, or staff, should undergo rigorous security checks. They can even see what's inside their bodies, so it's absolutely impossible that they brought it on board."

Furthermore, the vehicle was thoroughly checked; if it had been in the vehicle for a long time, it shouldn't have been able to escape detection.

Besides, wasn't your friend suddenly controlled by it too? The train has been running for quite some time now; it had plenty of opportunities to act, and there were even many times when no one was on duty in the lab. Why would it wait until now?

“Hmm…” Jiang Shu pondered, “That is truly strange.”

Just then, the deputy suddenly noticed something.

He and his researchers were hurriedly lifting the Yellow Crane Tower onto the operating table when, as he bent down to lift the tower's legs, he noticed something unusual behind one of the broken glass jars nearby—something was glittering.

"This is..."

He moved closer to get a better look.

Then he saw clearly that it was a steel needle, the kind that had been inserted into Jiang Shu and Huang Helou's bodies, which had now pierced through the glass jar and was stuck inside.

And around it are spiderweb-like cracks.

A few grains of sand were still stuck between the lines.

"Found it," the deputy said to himself.

And now he finally understands how that thing suddenly appeared.
