#299 - Survive in the face of death
He took a deep breath, trying to mobilize the sky-blue aura to surge into his other, still-mobile arm.
As soon as the thought appeared, countless capillaries within his arm began to flicker with a sky-blue halo, as if empowered by a formidable force.
He looked at his left hand, as if steeling himself with a certain resolution, and reached out to grasp it…
He gripped his own hand, then exerted force abruptly, attempting to crush his own palm.
At this moment, 'Primal Pollution' began to flow within his left arm, his body instinctively urging the flesh to convert the 'Primal Pollution' into sky-blue aura, but he forcibly suppressed it with his will!
Finally, accompanied by a 'crack!', he crushed his own palm.
What he found strange was that, whether his subconscious shielded him from the pain or his subconscious had accepted his current state of 'absolute rationality' and 'apathy,' he didn't feel the slightest pain after crushing his own palm, as indifferent as crushing a plastic bottle.
He couldn't be bothered with any sentiments and quickly glanced at his palm.
"As expected, it worked."
In this near 'time-stopped' environment, the flesh tendril hadn't reacted yet, so between his shattered palm and the flesh tendril, a slight gap appeared due to the deformation caused by the shattering.
His calculation had yielded a tangible result, yet he didn't feel any joy because of it, as if he had simply obtained a result that was due.
He glanced indifferently at the flesh tendril at the palm, and at this moment he could clearly see the inner wall of the flesh tendril.
That inner wall was covered with fuzzy, fibrous, dense blood vessels, like countless tiny suction cups, and as soon as they were exposed to the air, they immediately began to wriggle.
He knew that the gap between the flesh tendril and his palm would soon be filled, but the 'time' needed to fill it was the operating time left to him.
In one burst of energy, he crushed the entire arm that was entangled, all the way up from the palm, and then, before the flesh tendril could re-entangle, he pulled his hand out.
At this moment, the encirclement formed by the remaining flesh tendrils was about to close, and Lin Yi, clutching his shoulder, squeezed out from the encirclement of countless flesh tendrils.
As he squeezed out, the surrounding light began to recover, and the flow of time also began to accelerate…
"Thump!"
Lin Yi, like a carp struggling to fall out of a basket, landed awkwardly on the non-slip floor mat.
"Slap!"
The pseudo-person Li Kai's flesh tendrils all closed, but they closed on nothing.
"Let me… taste… your… fla…vor? Eh???"
Pseudo-person Li Kai muttered, even wriggling its somewhat bloated body after closing the flesh tendrils, and then immediately realized something was wrong.
It quickly searched for Lin Yi's figure in its line of sight.
"You…? !"
On the other side, Lin Yi propped himself up from the ground with one hand, but as soon as he did, an unimaginable sense of fatigue instantly overwhelmed him, causing him to collapse powerlessly to the ground.
At the same time, the shattered feeling of bones pulverized began to emanate from his left arm.
The sensation brought about by crushing all the bones was much more painful than a kick from the boss after calculating the force.
But fortunately, he had already endured the boss's torment, ah, no, training, and his acceptance of pain had opened up somewhat.
Therefore, this pain didn't cause him to faint, but under the dual effect of pain and weakness, even if he constantly used his will to resist, he still inevitably turned pale, his lips trembled, and his body shuddered…
Pseudo-person Li Kai didn't intend to give Lin Yi a chance to breathe, but the two bath towels inside its body still caused it a considerable restriction, and the lost part of its body hadn't been retrieved. Its body surface rippled as it slowly squeezed the bath towels out of its body.
It no longer intended to care about the severed limb; losing a piece of flesh was just losing a little volume for its form of body. On the contrary, the bath towels covered in water were more harmful to it.
So it approached Lin Yi step by step, while reaching out to pull the bath towel, dragging it out of its body and throwing it aside.
It was only two meters away from Lin Yi. If it were to 'bloom' at this time, Lin Yi would almost certainly be unable to retreat unscathed under the large-scale attack of the flesh tendrils, but it didn't do so, seemingly intending to take Lin Yi away in the most primitive close-quarters combat.
Lin Yi was still very weak, but his mind was still working, and he immediately noticed the anomaly.
"It's the shower heads!"
All around it were shower heads that Lin Yi had opened and thrown out. These shower heads, dropped on the ground like sanitation workers' water hoses spraying water on the grass, were releasing AOE water droplets around them in an irregular pattern.
And when it 'bloomed,' its tender inner wall seemed to be very afraid of these water droplets.
So Lin Yi had an idea, perhaps he could use this weakness to deal with it.
Lin Yi hadn't thought about escaping to seek help from other sports students.
Because the boss knew about pseudo-person Li Kai and had made this arrangement, then it must be useful.
At other times, it would be difficult for him to fathom the boss's intentions, but now he gradually understood—wasn't this just homework?
The teacher taught you addition and subtraction within ten, then surely nine out of ten after-school exercises would be done this way.
So…
"Recovery training!"
This was the practical session of recovery training?!
No… so practical, how confident is the boss in my recovery ability?
The boss seemed very confident.
But Lin Yi really had no confidence in his heart.
"Okay, now is not the time to consider this…"
"I have to find a way to kill it first!"
With this thought, Lin Yi's mind raced, and he quickly re-formulated a plan in his mind.
He gritted his teeth, ignoring the shattered arm, and also used his will to prevent the sky-blue aura from pouring into the arm to repair it, but instead gathered all the sky-blue aura into his right arm…
At this time, pseudo-person Li Kai had come to Lin Yi's front.
If one looked closely, one would find that many fine cracks had appeared on its body, and from those cracks, some watermarks were gurgling out—it was the part of the water flow that Lin Yi had previously poured into its body.
Only when the water flow was almost drained did the cracks on its body slowly heal.
And this was its full form.
"Lin Yi."
Pseudo-person Li Kai was condescending. Having returned to its human form, apart from its expression being as cold as a soulless robot, its tone was no different from that of a sports student.
"Your body looks really delicious… surely tastier than Li Kai…"
As it spoke, its body slowly changed, and the body behind it slowly turned into the shape of an umbrella, blocking the water droplets falling from the surrounding area.
At the same time, its chest slowly opened, and the torso in the chest area split into wriggling fleshy strips like tentacles, easily reminiscent of ammonites and the like.
“Soon… I will be you.”
The fleshy strips shot out rapidly, attempting to entangle Lin Yi again.
Lin Yi's mind was as still as water. The [Advanced Perception] was triggered. In that slowed-down world, his brain performed terrifying calculations, calculating the trajectory of the fleshy strips and the most likely future scenarios one by one…
At the same time, he clearly “sensed” the vibrant, beating heart of the Pseudo-Human Li Kai—the only thing on its entire body that had nothing to do with “dead matter.”
The heart… was where all of its extraordinary power converged!
In this brief moment, he calculated no fewer than ten ways to retreat unscathed, but only one of them could severely damage or even kill the Pseudo-Human Li Kai, and… the risk was extremely high!
But he still chose this one.
He had never been so close to the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's heart!
After opening its chest, it unreservedly exposed its core to Lin Yi. Although it hid it very deeply, this was already a huge flaw!
In this slow world, Lin Yi watched as the fleshy strips entangled his legs and slowly wrapped around him like a group of snakes…
Newest and fastest novels are at 6_9_shu_ba.
While entangling, it dragged his body towards the chest, like eating noodles.
This time, the Pseudo-Human Li Kai had learned its lesson. Instead of swallowing him in one gulp like before, it chose to reel Lin Yi in bit by bit like a meat grinder.
It was really strange. Just as he was about to be swallowed, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. A spark of insight seemed to flash through his mind. The [Primordial Pollution], which he had been unable to control, suddenly surged at this moment at the entangled part of his body, maintaining his body from being further damaged…
Although controlling one's own body was a perfectly normal thing, at this moment, Lin Yi truly had a feeling of unity between “him” and his “body.”
He silently calculated the distance between himself and the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's torso. At this moment, he was like a person fishing with his own body, waiting for the Pseudo-Human Li Kai to completely bite the hook hidden under the bait.
One meter away…
The Pseudo-Human Li Kai's fleshy strips wrapped around his buttocks.
Half a meter…
The Pseudo-Human Li Kai's fleshy strips wrapped around his waist.
Finally—
“Now!!!”
In a flash of lightning, Lin Yi suddenly twisted his body, and with lightning speed, he thrust his right arm out and plunged it fiercely into the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's chest!
“You…?! ” The Pseudo-Human Li Kai was suddenly shocked. Several surrounding fleshy strips returned to defend in time, but they couldn't keep up with Lin Yi's speed at all!
Lin Yi's right arm was like a long spear, hitting his sternum hard. The huge impact pushed the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's main body back a bit, but it failed to penetrate the sternum and reach the heart immediately.
“…Want to kill me?!”
The Pseudo-Human Li Kai was both shocked and angry. It was one thing for the cooked duck not to fly away, but it actually jumped up and hit it?!
“Looking for death!”
The fleshy strips chased after him in an instant, like countless sharp thorns, wanting to pierce Lin Yi's heart and cool him down.
At this moment, Lin Yi's speed soared instantly, and the surrounding time slowed down again relatively.
The shadow of death was like Zhaoyun entering and leaving seven times, and at this moment, Lin Yi's face began to become ferocious, and his angry eyes began to be covered with bloodshot eyes.
He gritted his teeth, and his throat rolled slightly, making a sound like a beast roaring.
“Feh… feh feh…”
Pure white heat began to exhale between his tightly clenched teeth, as if a huge furnace was burning inside his body.
He now had nothing outside of his heart, only one thought—to pierce through its chest and blow up its heart!
So he united his mind and body, and everything he did was to achieve this goal.
“Hoo… hoo…”
A vortex suddenly appeared in his bloodshot right eye as if a strong wind was blowing. The next moment, as if something had ignited a spark in his eye, accompanied by a “poof” sound, scorching golden flames rolled up in his right eye, and the golden flames suddenly soared, rising like flames.
Lin Yi was completely unaware, only thinking about blowing up the heart, so the flames rolled back and entangled his body, spreading along his right arm, igniting the sky-blue aura in his body, causing a blue-golden fire snake to burn on his right arm like a flamethrower!
The flame, like an ignited blowtorch, burned fiercely on the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's sternum with his attack.
The sternum turned pale in an instant, with the texture of a skeleton that had been gnawed clean and left in the sun for several days.
Then, cracks covered the sternum, and then, Lin Yi's palm shattered its sternum and grabbed its beating heart!
“Feh feh feh…”
Lin Yi was like a beast, with only pure killing intent in his heart. After grabbing the heart, he didn't say any nonsense and directly crushed it!
“Bang!”
When the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's heart shattered, it didn't bleed any blood, as if it had shattered into countless fragments like glass.
However, in Lin Yi's vision, he could clearly see that after the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's heart shattered, the extraordinary power that was originally stored in its body immediately turned into strands of unplaced air currents, scurrying around in its body…
“It's done!”
Lin Yi was overjoyed, and the environment, which was so slow that it was almost “time stop,” quickly faded away with the onset of fatigue and weakness in his heart.
As the flow of time recovered, before he could withdraw his arm, the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's hands grabbed his right arm fiercely!
The next moment, the Pseudo-Human Li Kai's fleshy strips finally pierced into his back from behind like spears, but were blocked by the torrent of [Primordial Pollution] in his body, stopping abruptly outside his ribs, failing to injure his heart!
“I will kill you!!!”
The Pseudo-Human Li Kai's face was still calm and dull, but his tone was hysterical and extremely angry.
“How is it still not dead after all this?!” Lin Yi was shocked, but he couldn't care about his riddled body. He only thought about how he could quickly finish it off.
But the heart has been crushed, so how can he fight next?!
What should he hit next?
His plan only planned to blow up the heart!
