The Yellow-Haired Boy checked again, "He didn't die from poisoning, and there's no poison hidden in his mouth!"
Everyone exchanged glances, unable to believe that the Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps could be so ruthless. Could they really have a method to control life and death from a distance?
Chang Qing thought of the strange Identity Tag. He jumped down from the vehicle and retrieved the Identity Tags from several people, handing them to the nearby Ability user.
When everyone saw the alarming crack on the Identity Tag, their hearts skipped a beat.
"Could there really be an Ability that controls life and death through the Identity Tag?" Bai Bing's expression turned grim. If that were true, then those who had pledged their loyalty at the banquet must have already fallen under the control of the Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps.
"Who knows?" Chang Qing couldn't be certain. There were indeed dark arts in the Cultivation World that allowed one to control another's life with a drop of blood, and it wasn't uncommon for high-level practitioners to be reborn through blood. However, he couldn't say for sure if such a thing was possible in this world.
Ability users were considered powerful in this post-apocalyptic era; who would want their life and death controlled by someone else? Although they didn't have concrete information at this moment, the eerie Identity Tag and its unsettling crack instilled a sense of survival among them.
At that moment, the doctor's examination was complete, and no one had any fatal injuries, so they decided to rest for the night. After all, not a single Zombie had appeared during their fierce battle, making this desolate wilderness feel safer than a bustling city.
Chang Qing took out three instant hot pots, five roasted chickens, and a case of beer from his space. The group of dozens gathered around three tables under the moonlight filtering through the leaves, enjoying a uniquely delightful dinner.
As everyone sat together eating and chatting, Chang Qing realized that Xu Caiwei and Zheng Yingsha from Bai Bing's team were missing. He walked over to ask about them.
Bai Bing had also had a couple of beers, her face slightly flushed. She paused for a moment upon hearing Xu Caiwei's name before recalling, "Some of us chose to stay in Ji City; I'm sure they are among them..." Her voice carried a hint of curiosity and teasing. "What? Missing your fiancée?"
Curious glances immediately turned toward him. What? The big shot has a fiancée in the same team? Some people remembered Xu Caiwei but never imagined she had such a connection with Yang Changqing.
"That was all before the apocalypse; as you can see, I have no ties with her now," Chang Qing explained casually.
"Since you're here, why not sit for a while?" someone pulled out a stool.
Chang Qing usually didn't interact much with Bai Bing's team, giving off an air of distance. Coupled with his formidable strength, others were hesitant to approach him casually. However, with the atmosphere now relaxed, everyone wanted to engage more with the big shot.
He was not polite at all and sat down directly. After the fierce battle, he felt that the atmosphere of the entire team had changed.
Everyone chatted about their abilities, shared stories of life since the apocalypse, and discussed information about the official base. Everything felt so natural, as if they were having a class reunion before the end of the world.
At that moment, in a high-end advanced treatment room in the first safe zone of Ji City, Fu Chen was focused on the complex data displayed on his computer. Chen Jin lay on the treatment bed in front of him, his face contorted in pain.
After a long while, Fu Chen's cold voice finally broke the silence. "It seems you have suffered a powerful mental ability attack..."
"Please... just give me something for the pain," Chen Jin's voice trembled. He was genuinely suffering. At first, when he noticed he had no visible injuries, he thought the pain would subside with time. However, upon returning, it only intensified to an unbearable level. Had he known he would be injured so severely, he would never have participated in this hunting mission. He even regretted joining the Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps; he had thought that with a few new beauties around, life at the official base wouldn't be so dull. Little did he know he wouldn't even get to enjoy it before getting hurt.
Fu Chen injected a vial of medication into his body and placed his hand on his head. As a wave of white light enveloped him, the pain in his mind finally eased, and Chen Jin slowly drifted off to sleep.
Afterward, Fu Chen pressed the call button at the head of the bed. Shortly after, four other men in white coats entered.
"Transfer him to that room," Fu Chen instructed, his face obscured by the low-hanging surgical light, giving him an eerie appearance. The newcomers said nothing as they pushed the treatment bed out.
...
The next day, Chang Qing was driving when a voice from the system interrupted him.
"Bad news! Bad news! The male lead is dead."
Chang Qing paused for a moment. "Chen Jin is dead?"
"I wondered why I couldn't find you after lunch; turns out you went to Ji City to catch up on gossip. Tell me what happened."
It turned out that Long Baiye was a wealthy tycoon in Ji City. He had been suffering from a terminal illness but unexpectedly awakened a powerful ability after the apocalypse. Not only could he control other ability users and ordinary people with just a drop of blood, but under certain circumstances, he could completely take over someone else's body. Using his wealth and abilities, he dominated the city and established a formidable mercenary group.
However, the Ability could not cure his Terminal Illness, so he had been searching for a suitable body to replace his own. He was uncertain whether he would retain his original Ability after the replacement, which is why he needed a powerful Ability user. Only then could he safeguard his family business and wealth.
Yesterday, Chen Jin had been subjected to a Divine Consciousness Attack, leaving him in a weakened state of mind. His Thunder Ability was also a formidable Attack-Type Ability, making him the perfect candidate as a Donor for Long Baiye.
"Originally, you were also on his list of choices," the system cautiously glanced at its host.
Chang Qing was not surprised; after all, his performance in the Arena had been unparalleled. What concerned him more was Chen Jin's current situation.
"So, you're saying that Chen Jin's body is already occupied by Long Baiye's Xin Zi, right?" Chang Qing pondered. This was quite similar to his own experience of crossing over.
"Yes," the system replied.
"But, hahahahaha," the system suddenly burst into laughter.
"They... they didn't expect that even after changing the soul, they would still have a splitting headache, hahahaha."
"They thought it was a Mental Ability attack," the system added.
Chang Qing realized that the Divine Consciousness Attack not only harmed the mind but could also cause Organic Damage to Physical Organization. Even if the original body had been replaced with Xin Zi, the Organic Damage would still persist, hence the continued pain.
"So now Long Baiye is also in the Advanced Treatment Room..." Chang Qing hadn't anticipated this twist of fate; it could be seen as a fortunate accident. Surely Long Baiye had no time to deal with others at this moment.
