Lan Mu had now regained his senses, and he quickly realized that there were still a few things he needed to do.
First was the insectoids. Had they really been destroyed? Not necessarily. After all, Lan Mu had seen the parasites in Wu Zong's body with his own eyes the night before. The only person who did not know was Wu Zong himself.
"Could the insectoid brain have escaped into his body?"
Lan Mu hurriedly probed with his mind, and indeed, he found a place in Wu Zong's body that had been blocked by his mind.
He smiled.
Mind blocking was meaningless. It was no different from giving away three hundred taels of silver. It was obvious that the insectoid brain was there.
Lan Mu knew that the insectoid brain was probably at the end of its tether.
Trapped in the barrier, it could not escape even if it wanted to, and it could not hide in front of Lan Mu even if it wanted to.
At this moment, the insectoid brain must be extremely weak and resigned to its fate.
"Wu Zong, your mind power is not bad. You should be able to see the situation in your spine, right?"
Wu Zong heard Lan Mu's words, but his expression did not change. "You're talking about this mind block? I just don't want people to spy on my body all the time. That's why I came up with this technique. Unfortunately, I can only do such a small part. "
"Hehe …" Lan Mu did not believe his nonsense. This person was full of lies, and he had been lying ever since he came in.
"Is that so? Open it up and let me see, "Lan Mu said.
Wu Zong, of course, knew how strong Lan Mu was, so he did not resist. He only said with a bitter face, "Don't force me, brother. You and I are both pitiful people trapped here with no way out. Why do we have to make things difficult for each other?"
Lan Mu sneered. "Is that so? Then why don't you explain why you survived out of more than a hundred people? "
Wu Zong said stubbornly, "Because the insectoid brain realized that the barrier could not be broken, so it chose to go into hibernation and let the bugs do things according to procedure."
Lan Mu said, "I know you can use your mind power to deceive normal bugs, but tell me why you didn't die before the insectoid brain went into hibernation."
Wu Zong stopped talking. His face was indifferent.
Lan Mu continued: 「 Because the insectoid cerebrum didn't consider you to be a threat, it chose to hibernate before all of you died, while you used that opportunity to rely on anomalies to survive … but if that's the case, tell me how the others died 」
Wu Zong still didn't say anything. He just smiled bitterly.
Lan Mu didn't press him any further because he knew that Wu Zong must be struggling in his heart.
Infiltrating the Zerg network with his mental power to disguise himself could protect everyone.
However, food and water were the biggest problems. Even with so many survivors, they could not escape the fate of starvation and thirst.
Thus, of the hundred or so people who had died, some had died at the hands of the insectoids, while the others had died at the hands of Wu Zong.
By killing his former companions, not only would there be no one to share food with him, but he could also replenish his blood and flesh.
Given the choice between dying with a heavy heart or living an ignoble life for a period of time, he chose to live an ignoble life. This was also the reason why he looked at his hands like he was mentally ill.
As for how he did it, there was no need to ask. Lan Mu had no interest in knowing.
"What's the point of asking these questions? This is the Forgotten Land, we're all abandoned people in reality, we don't even exist anymore "Wu Zong spoke in a low voice.
Lan Mu replied: "It's nothing, I just don't want to hear your lies anymore …"
Saying so, he directly moved his hand to grab Wu Zong.
What kind of person was Wu Zong? He was a person who knew that he was going to die, but still wanted to live. Being able to live for even a moment longer was a good thing.
He had been parasitized by the Zerg Cerebrum and was trapped inside the barrier, so he had no chance of survival at all.
But he would rather be devoured by the Zerg Cerebrum and die, but that was a matter for the future. At the very least, he didn't want to just wait for death and had to resist.
Sensing the resistance from the other party's mental power invasion, Lan Mu shook his head and stood in front of him, grabbing his head with his hand.
With a wave of his hand, he put the adornable ahoge away.
Lan Mu didn't intend to equip this anomaly right away because he could faintly sense its side effects.
As soon as the other party lied, he already knew that they were lying to him and guessed the truth. He knew that Wu Zong had killed his companions and devoured their flesh for the sake of survival.
Although he was forced to do so to survive, in a situation where he was in complete despair and knew that he couldn't survive, as a high-level agent that Qianlong had trained and trusted since childhood, would he really do something like that just to survive for an entire month? But what was the point of that? Suffering an additional month of guilt and guilt?
There was a very high possibility that the ahoge had amplified his mental power, but it had also amplified his deep-rooted bad habits and bestial instincts. Just as Wu Zong had said, during that period of time, he was like an insect, a beast that devoured his companions. If he had always been such a person, why would he have sunk into such pain and even become mentally ill?
Although he couldn't be sure, Lan Mu was still wary of this anomaly.
This was also the reason why he didn't steal the ahoge even though he knew how powerful the Zerg Cerebrum's mental power was.
Fortunately, he managed to defeat the Zerg and cripple the Zerg Cerebrum.
The Zerg Cerebrum was currently hibernating inside Wu Zong's body, all he needed to do was extract it and take it away for research.
After having his ahoge taken away, Wu Zong seemed to have seen through everything, his expression was one of relief and loss.
Lan Mu used his sword to cut open his back, revealing his emaciated body, but he didn't resist at all.
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes as he finally faced death and reality head-on.
He said: "Hurry up and take the Zerg out, it's right here!" Saying so, he even pointed out where the Zerg Cerebrum was.
"I don't need you to tell me!" Lan Mu was just about to act.
All of a sudden, Wu Zong's body began to rapidly wither, at the same time, he was in extreme pain, feeling as if his marrow and flesh were being sucked away.
Lan Mu also noticed this situation, needless to say, this was the Zerg Cerebrum's final struggle.
It was forcefully stealing Wu Zong's life to gain a bit of resources to resist.
What could this bit of flesh possibly provide? This was the Zerg Cerebrum's final act of madness.
"Ah!" Wu Zong screamed in pain, his body was nothing but skin and bones, very quickly, even his bones were gone.
In the end, he muttered: "I'm sorry, brothers, it's finally my turn."
After saying this, he completely died, his flesh withering away.
Lan Mu's movements didn't stop, quickly pulling out the Zerg Cerebrum from the disappearing spine.
It was a big fat Zerg, it had sucked Wu Zong to death, causing its larva-like body to become very large.
Moreover, it was constantly producing smaller Zergs that flew in all directions.
"Is there any meaning to this?"
Lan Mu naturally wouldn't let it escape, he used all of his firepower, directly eliminating all of the Zergs it had produced and crushing the Zerg Cerebrum to death.
He didn't give it any chance to resist, stifling its last bit of madness.
Even so, the Zerg Cerebrum didn't completely die, the corpse was still wriggling, and not long after, a small worm that was hard to detect sneaked out of Lan Mu's palm.
"I knew it … …"
Lan Mu sighed in admiration at the Zerg's vitality, he controlled the Bastet Metal to wrap it up, wrapping it in a layer of azure energy to ensure that the Bastet Metal was completely sealed.
Putting the Bastet Metal into the Space, Lan Mu took out the Void Cloud.
After drawing the passage to Shadow Island, Lan Mu looked at Wu Zong's shrunken remains, hesitated for a moment, and buried him.
Buried in this pile of sand, it was very regrettable that he couldn't leave the barrier even in death.
Because Lan Mu didn't want to take any risks, Wu Zong's best resting place was still inside the barrier.
… …
On Shadow Island, the moment Lan Mu emerged from the Void Cloud, he had Bai Ze prepare a large number of bombs.
Only after using the bombs to destroy the Void Cloud did Lan Mu relax.
He didn't know if there would be any Zerg eggs left there, and he also didn't know if there would still be Zergs born there without the Zerg Cerebrum.
However, just as Wu Zong said, the inside of the barrier was a forgotten world, the outside world didn't know what was going on inside, and Qianlong didn't care either, because no matter what, it wouldn't be opened, just like Pandora's Box.
Lan Mu didn't run around, but instead locked himself in the secret room, waiting for the transformation to end.
His mind sank into the Life Sphere, and in the sky full of light, he considered again and again.
"I'll choose blue, after all, it gave birth to the strongest angel so far."
"Only an even stronger transformation can deal with the Zergs, so I'll choose blue!"
A blue dot of light fell, that was Lan Mu's next transformation.
When it fell, Lan Mu also learned of the interval between transformations.
"Six days … …"
"Are you f * cking kidding me!"
