Zhuang Peng truly lived up to his Platinum Level status, managing to snatch Shen Zhitao away amidst a crowd of armed individuals. In the blink of an eye, the two vanished into the vast expanse of buildings. Tang Feng hurriedly looked down the slope, only to find that the group had already disappeared. It seemed Zhuang Peng had given them instructions long before.
"What should we do, Commander Tang?" a soldier asked.
Tang Feng glanced at the distant street and then back at the soldier, before resolutely stating, "Let's head back. We'll handle Shen Zhitao's situation ourselves!" With Zhuang Peng's Platinum Level abilities, he was not someone the locals could contend with. Besides, they had no idea where he and Shen Zhitao had taken her.
For now, they would have to wait for Wang Chao to wake up!
Returning to the convoy, Gao Rui was on a large truck, continuously inputting something on the Container's control panel. The liquid inside fluctuated—sometimes calm, sometimes agitated—its color shifting from deep to light. Meanwhile, Wang Chao and the Mastiff King were breathing heavily, their breaths gradually growing stronger.
However, as one grew larger, so did the other; it was as if they were competing for nutrients. Gao Rui muttered to himself, "So fast? The key now is who can gain control over this whole process. At that point, one of them will be completely absorbed by the other."
"But it seems like the Mastiff King's consciousness is much stronger. If this continues, Wang Chao might get absorbed..." As he spoke, Gao Rui continued typing away.
The convoy pressed on and two days later finally returned to the Safe Zone.
Wang Chao was placed in a villa area. Everyone who saw him couldn't help but shed tears. Dean Wang felt immense guilt; no one had expected that such a simple mission would leave Wang Chao in this state. But guilt was of no use now.
Everyone left the room except for Yang Mengying and Little Wolf. Little Wolf appeared listless, clearly affected by Wang Chao's condition. Yang Mengying looked at Wang Chao inside the Container—his form neither human nor ghost—and tears streamed down her face.
"It's always like this; can't you be more careful?" Yang Mengying said while touching the Container's glass. "Every time you make us worry! Can't you stop showing off? If you die, what will Yiyi and I do? Now that you've become like this, who knows when you'll wake up..."
With that, Yang Mengying fell silent, simply holding onto the Container as if that would allow her to feel Wang Chao's warmth...
Yang Mengying had just left when Wu Wan'er walked in. She moved a small stool and sat down in front of the glass container, quietly watching Wang Chao. Her face still bore traces of tears, suggesting she had just been crying, and her nose was slightly red, yet she appeared both pure and playful.
"Yang Sister Mengying just left and will be back soon, so I don't have much time to talk to you," Wu Wan'er said, her voice as gentle and delicate as a soft breeze. "When she arrives, I naturally can't stay here. Do you know why I changed my mind about marrying Zhang Fusheng?"
With that, Wu Wan'er smiled lightly and continued, "Look at you, silly. You don’t know, do you? It’s because of you. Tell me, why did you save me back then? If I had died, I wouldn’t have to feel like this now—liking you but unable to express it. Just being able to see you is enough for me; after all, in this world, simply being alive is truly not easy."
"Perhaps it’s better if you stay quietly inside there. At least I can have more time to accompany you... It may be a bit selfish, but love is inherently selfish." With that, Wu Wan'er shook her head slightly and sighed. "I'll come to see you again tomorrow. I’ll take my leave now." With that, she turned back three times as she walked away.
"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought that Uncle, you are still such a sentimental soul!" From the shadows, Yiyi stepped out. Fearing that Yiyi would not accept Wang Chao's situation if she found out, this matter had only been kept from her. However, Yiyi had known about it for quite some time; she had been hiding in this room for a long while but had not shed a tear.
Approaching the container, Yiyi tapped on the glass and pretended to be mature as she said, "You have so many girls who like you. If I were five years older, who knows? I might like you too! I’ve heard that uncles nowadays prefer younger girls! I wonder if you like them? But judging by your taste, it's clear you're a loser."
"I won't like you!" Yiyi said as she clasped her hands behind her back and paced around. "However, if you could get better soon, I might consider it! I know you'll get better; right?" With that, Yiyi leaned against the glass and looked at Wang Chao. She continued, "Yang Sister Mengying, Wu Wan'er sister, Sister Shen Zhitao, Big Brother Daqiang, Uncle Tang Feng, and so many others are waiting for you to get better!"
"Yiyi is here waiting for you!" With that declaration, Yiyi drew a heart on the glass with her finger.
What no one knew was that at that moment Wang Chao was engulfed in immense pain. He was battling for control of his body against the Mastiff King. Previously locked in a fierce struggle where they tore at each other without yielding an inch, their blood and marrow had fused together. Now submerged in a nutrient solution provided by Gao Rui, they were becoming even more intertwined; it was now a contest of whose cells were stronger.
In the struggle for survival where only the fittest prevail, the weaker side would inevitably be assimilated.
Wang Chao felt as if he were trapped in chaos; immense forces were attacking him from all directions as if trying to tear him apart into pieces until he became just another part of this void—lost forever in the endless darkness. Unfortunately for Wang Chao at this moment, he was on the losing side; after defeating countless monsters, the Mastiff King underwent a mutation within its body and was now far stronger than Platinum level.
Neither Wang Chao nor Little Wolf could withstand the Mastiff King’s power.
Outsiders observed the fluctuations in the nutrient solution surrounding the Mastiff King and Wang Chao. At times, Wang Chao's head seemed to shrink, and then it was the Mastiff King's body that would diminish. Yiyi, witnessing such changes, could no longer bear to watch and said to Wang Chao, "Uncle, you must get better!"
"It seems there is some kind of sound!" In the midst of the void, Wang Chao could always hear that faint, elusive sound. It was so ethereal that he could not pinpoint its source, but it was precisely this sound that prevented him from becoming completely lost in the emptiness.
