Chapter 446 - 289: Ding Yang Is Dead? Dealing with the Blood Moon Envoys (3)
After three seconds, the entire line burned out.
Initially, Lin Qi had no intention of using this to kill the Moon Worshipers.
But plans change. Now that Ding Yang was captured, this thing had become the key to saving his life.
If it weren’t for Ding Yang, Lin Qi could have killed this bunch of Moon Worshipers in at least ten different ways with his Prosthetic Body.
Having formulated a rough plan, Lin Qi continued to observe the Moon Worshipers’ movements.
...
"Jin Xiangyi, keep an eye on things here. We’re leaving," Jin Wei instructed.
Meanwhile, the Blood Moon Envoy responsible for escorting Ding Yang chatted with the others.
"That Korean got the easy way out. His job has the least risk, while the rest of us could run into danger."
"Let’s just do what Jin Wei says. His arrangements are fine. That Korean is the weakest; he’d only been a Blood Moon Envoy for three days when we found him. He wouldn’t be much help to us anyway."
"I think Jin Wei just likes that the Korean is obedient, right?"
The Blood Moon Envoys had no formal hierarchy. Although they were temporarily following Jin Wei’s commands, they were inwardly dissatisfied with his decisions.
After finishing his instructions to Jin Xiangyi, Jin Wei walked over to the others, his expression dark.
He cursed inwardly again, ’A bunch of illiterate fools from Southeast Asia. Fucking morons!’
Unwilling to start a conflict with the other Blood Moon Envoys, Jin Wei could only fume in silence.
A vein pulsed at his temple as Jin Wei climbed into one of Hongshan Camp’s camouflage-painted military vehicles.
The two camouflage-painted military vehicles left Hongshan Camp, one behind the other, and headed for Mo University Camp.
The group of six was a larger entourage than Ding Yang usually traveled with.
Previously, when Ding Yang traveled to Mo University Camp, it was typically in one vehicle with four people. An occasion to use two vehicles was rare.
Had Lin Qi not been at Hongshan Camp, these two vehicles traveling together might have been a dead giveaway.
Ding Yang offered no warning to the Blood Moon Envoys. He just sat in the passenger seat of the front vehicle and closed his eyes, as if waiting for something.
...
They were about two kilometers from Mo University Camp.
Ding Yang grew anxious and opened his eyes.
’Something’s not right!’
’Why hasn’t he made a move yet?’
’Was that healing sensation just now not Lin Qi?’
’Was it just my imagination?’
Ding Yang pressed a hand to his chest. The excruciating pain was gone.
The bones seemed to have healed completely.
’Is Lin Qi planning to let the Moon Worshipers reach Mo University Camp before he acts?’
’Isn’t that a bit too reckless?’
’Isn’t he afraid of something going wrong?’
Just as Ding Yang’s mind was racing, the first signs of the anticipated attack finally appeared as the vehicle continued on its way.
In a daze, Ding Yang thought he heard a tearing sound.
It was followed by an intense feeling of suffocation.
He couldn’t seem to breathe.
He tried to turn his head, but his body didn’t respond in the slightest. It was as if his head and body had malfunctioned, each going its separate way.
The vehicle seemed to hit a speed bump.
With a violent jolt, Ding Yang felt as if he were flying.
His vision tilted up and spun.
Ding Yang saw expressions of panic and astonishment on the faces of the Moon Worshipers beside and behind him.
’Wait a minute.’
’Behind me?’
As his vision spun, Ding Yang saw his own body.
So his head and body really had parted ways!
’No!’
’It’s not just me!’
The heads and bodies of the three Moon Worshipers in the car with him had also gone their separate ways.
Their heads were severed from their bodies, and their torsos were cut in half at the waist.
The sound in Ding Yang’s ears grew louder, becoming the screech of scraping metal.
The camouflage-painted military vehicle had also been sliced apart.
If Ding Yang had a view from a distance, he would have seen that the two military vehicles, one behind the other, had been cut by an invisible, fine wire, sliced horizontally into three sections.
’This method is a bit too... sci-fi, isn’t it?’
Ding Yang felt like he had seen a scene like this in a movie somewhere.
’Nanowire?’
’Has Lin Qi’s research ability reached such a heaven-defying level?’
’In the middle of the apocalypse, he managed to create something straight out of science fiction, relying on nothing but the research facilities of a single university?’
Ding Yang could feel death approaching, but his heart was at ease.
In fact, that heart was getting farther and farther from his head, on the verge of stopping its beat.
’As expected of Lin Qi...’
Ding Yang mused to himself, admiring the expressions on the faces of the Moon Worshipers who had been in the car with him.
’Kidnapping me to go after Mo University Camp?’
’The plan looked good, but Lin Qi saw right through it!’
’Now look at you!’
’Dead now, aren’t you!’
’And what a miserable death!’
’Decapitated and cut in half at the waist!’
’These are both major forms of punishment, passed down for a thousand years in Dragon Country civilization!’
’This method of death could probably be registered as a piece of world intangible cultural heritage.’
’For these foreign barbarians to die with such flair... they’re getting off easy.’
Ding Yang felt no fear of his own impending death, only grim satisfaction.
Sacrificing himself alone in exchange for victory in the grand scheme of things—the trade was more than worth it!
He hadn’t been wrong to trust Lin Qi. Lin Qi was truly the one who could lead humanity toward hope.
...
Meanwhile, in the rear vehicle.
Jin Wei was still considering what might go wrong when he suddenly noticed something was off about the vehicle ahead.
The two vehicles were close together; there was less than a two-second gap between when they each passed the spot where Lin Qi had placed the S-Class Rechargeable Molecular Cutting Line.
Moreover, the S-Class Rechargeable Molecular Cutting Line was so sharp that there was a significant delay between the moment it took effect and the moment the results became visible.
By the time Jin Wei noticed something was wrong, he had already been hit.
"No, something’s wrong! We’re under attack!"
As Jin Wei tried to shout a warning, he also attempted to channel his power and transform into his Blood Moon Body.
But it was only then that he realized his body was no longer under his control.
