Chapter 534 Contact
Li Gang felt his eyes blur, and then the white-haired Professor Wang suddenly appeared in front of him. Li Gang muttered, "Oh my, Professor Wang, you are truly vigorous for your age, so fast."
Wang Zhiqiang chuckled. At this moment, Zhou Shanshan from behind also walked over quickly. She smiled and said to Wang Zhiqiang, "Professor Wang, you are indeed here. Li Gang and I guessed right, you're working overtime here."
Before Zhou Shanshan's voice had even fallen, her gaze suddenly froze.
She saw Wang Zhiqiang suddenly reach out, his fingers instantly piercing into Li Gang's neck, and blood splattered in an instant.
Li Gang clutched his neck and fell to the ground in horror. Wang Zhiqiang extended his finger, which was still dripping with blood. He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood, then said with disgust, "Pah, how foul. Your blood, Zhou Shanshan, is much more delicious!"
Seeing this, Zhou Shanshan retreated.
A stone behind her tripped her, and with a "plop," Zhou Shanshan sat down on the ground. She was extremely terrified, shaking her head and saying to Wang Zhiqiang, "Professor Wang, Professor Wang, wake up, wake up! We are from the medical team. What... what are you doing?"
Wang Zhiqiang burst into laughter. He looked at Zhou Shanshan, who was constantly retreating on the ground, and said proudly, "I am wide awake. It's you who are not! Little girl, because you are so beautiful, I will let you live a few more days to accompany this old man."
At this moment, Chen Yang, who was behind the stone, was also startled.
Chen Yang had not expected Wang Zhiqiang to act so suddenly, let alone kill Li Gang directly.
Seeing Wang Zhiqiang walk towards Zhou Shanshan, Chen Yang immediately stepped out, intending to rescue her. He could not stand by and watch Wang Zhiqiang kill someone in front of him.
Although Chen Yang had no relation to Zhou Shanshan and Li Gang, and even disliked that fellow Li Gang a bit, he could not forgive a murderer like Wang Zhiqiang.
Hearing that Wang Zhiqiang would not kill Zhou Shanshan immediately, Chen Yang crouched down again, hiding behind the stone. His eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent flashed on his lips. Regardless of Wang Zhiqiang's identity, at this moment, this old man was destined not to survive.
Zhou Shanshan, lying on the ground, swallowed. Fortunately, she was a doctor and had seen many corpses, but she still felt terrified. The sudden change in the old professor Wang Zhiqiang made her feel as if the world had changed.
Wang Zhiqiang sneered. He stood in front of Zhou Shanshan with his hands behind his back, looking her up and down with satisfaction. Wang Zhiqiang said, "Little girl, you should be glad you have such a good complexion. It is so beautiful that even I cannot bear to kill you immediately."
Zhou Shanshan kept shaking her head, swallowing. She didn't know how things had come to this. Zhou Shanshan trembled and said, "Professor Wang, aren't you a professor at Jinling University? Why... why did you kill Li Gang? Although he was annoying, he didn't deserve to die."
Wang Zhiqiang laughed heartily and nodded, "You are right. Although he was annoying, he didn't deserve to die. Nor did you. You didn't have to die so soon, but you insisted on coming here to find me in the dead of night. Since you've ruined my good deeds and stumbled upon my secret, you must die."
Zhou Shanshan shook her head and asked, "Secret? What secret? What secret would make you kill Li Gang? This is a human life."
Wang Zhiqiang sneered and said, "A human life? No, that's far more than one. Because before coming here, I had already killed the real Professor Wang."
"Also, when leaving the village, that big傻大个子 insisted on protecting me to this place. I found him annoying, so I killed him too."
"Killing feels too ordinary. I'm tired of this feeling. Now, all I pursue is a heavenly path, and only the exalted Saint Moon Divine Venerable can send me up that heavenly path."
Zhou Shanshan was astonished. She looked at Wang Zhiqiang and said, "You... you are not Professor Wang? Who... who are you? Why did you join our medical team?"
Wang Zhiqiang laughed proudly with his hands behind his back. He said, "Medical team? Hahaha... I must say, you girl are endearingly stupid. Do you really think the mental patients in this village are truly poisoned and have damaged brains, suffering from mental illness?"
"Let me tell you. The real reason they are sick is that they are infected with a corpse poison."
Zhou Shanshan sat on the ground and looked at Wang Zhiqiang.
Wang Zhiqiang was in a good mood at the moment. He continued to say to Zhou Shanshan, "I traveled thousands of miles to come here, not for the mental patients in the village. It was because, after learning about the specific conditions of these mental patients, I deduced that Qingshui Village must have a connection to the golden treasure vault I was looking for."
Zhou Shanshan shook her head and said, "What golden treasure vault? What does a golden treasure vault have to do with mental illness?"
Wang Zhiqiang glanced at Zhou Shanshan and smiled, "You girl are quite cute. Even now, at the brink of life and death, you haven't forgotten to ask questions and solve problems. Very well, today I will tell you in detail."
"The so-called corpse poison is very terrifying. Once humans are infected, they will surely die. I believe you must have watched many movies, right? Have you seen those invulnerable or immortal zombies?"
"Of course, those are fictional, but there really are some corpses in heaven and earth that turn into zombies!"
"If they turn into zombies, they can produce corpse poison. This thing is incredibly terrifying. Once it appears, nothing can grow within a hundred-mile radius, and livestock and humans cannot resist this toxin."
"However, zombies carrying corpse poison are already very rare, but research on zombies has never stopped."
"After all, zombies are fearless of death, immensely strong, and can even become as hard as iron walls, impervious to bullets, and unpierceable by swords and spears."
"People have been researching this kind of thing for a very long time."
"And the golden treasure vault I'm talking about was left behind ninety years ago, when the world was in chaos and Japan was wreaking havoc in our Kyushu."
"The treasure vault contained various antiques, famous paintings, treasures, and artworks they plundered from our Kyushu. Besides these, there was also a large amount of gunpowder and weapons."
"Of course, they also conducted some secret experiments, one of which was to use corpse poison to turn ordinary people into war machines."
"They wanted to turn ordinary people into war monsters and deploy them on the battlefield. Unfortunately, their experiment was halfway through. Just as it was about to succeed, they surrendered and were forced to retreat in a hurry."
"Before leaving, they couldn't take everything in the treasure vault, so they sealed it, along with their laboratory."
"Therefore, when I saw the patients in Qingshui Village, I immediately recognized that these mental patients were not mentally ill in the general sense you speak of. They became like this because the corpse poison used in the experiment leaked out."
"They go mad, pounce and bite anyone they see, and are incredibly strong. They fear the sun. In a sense, they have become monsters!"
