Chapter 55 I'm a biology major, and I'm really doing research!
Chen Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it struck Lu Sheng's heart like a heavy hammer.
coming!
What's meant to come will come.
Lu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine, and his face instantly switched to a harmless and honest look. He turned around and gave Chen Yan a not-so-standard military salute, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Reporting to General Chen, this is the accompanying ability that I acquired when I awakened my Heavenly Rank Serialized Dragon. I call it the Dragon's Treasury. It's not very big; it can only hold inanimate objects."
Lu Shengjiang delivered his prepared remarks without batting an eye, subtly flattering the general: "Compared to the general's incomparably mighty battle axe, mine is just a lowly trick."
After speaking, Lu Sheng, his eyes filled with admiration and curiosity, asked, "General Chen, was that battle axe you just used... also a sequence ability? It could appear and disappear out of thin air? That was so cool!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan's lips curled into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.
This kid is quite cunning; he avoids the important questions.
He didn't answer Lu Sheng's question, but instead threw it back at him, his gaze falling on the deck he had just cleaned, his tone full of confusion.
"Then what are you collecting these monster corpses for?"
"Isn't it filthy to store such filthy things in the Dragon's Treasury?"
The relentless questioning made the air thick with tension once again.
Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze watched Lu Ling nervously, their palms sweating, afraid that Lu Sheng might say something wrong and anger the god of death with explosive combat power in front of them.
However, Lu Sheng's reaction once again surprised everyone.
He scratched his head, his face displaying the complex expression of a research fanatic when asked about his field of expertise—a mixture of excitement and shyness.
"I used to be a bioengineering student at Shanghai University, and after the apocalypse, I became particularly interested in the physical structure of these monsters!"
"I want to collect some samples to study, slice them, analyze them... Maybe I can find their weaknesses from this!"
Lu Sheng spoke with utmost seriousness, his eyes sparkling with a thirst for and passion for science. Anyone who saw him would have thought he was a pillar of the nation, fearless in the face of hardship, dedicated to the future of humanity.
"..."
Chen Yan looked into Lu Sheng's incredibly sincere eyes and fell silent.
Department of Bioengineering?
Study weaknesses?
He looked at the young man in front of him, who had just been decisive and ruthless, taking down high-level floating corpses with a single shot, but now turned into a dull-witted, nerdy research guy. Even with his composure, he felt he couldn't quite keep up with the kid's train of thought.
Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze, who were standing to the side, were completely dumbfounded.
Shanghai University? Bioengineering?
Holy crap, this kid Lu has some serious connections?
After a long while, Chen Yan slowly nodded, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes that no one could understand.
"Oh? A biology student?"
"A good idea."
He didn't press the matter further, his expression seeming to say: I don't believe you for a second, you little devil!
But he ultimately didn't point it out.
He ignored Lu Sheng, took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, and asked in a deep voice, "Qin Yue, Lin Hu, how's the situation on your end?"
Qin Yue's cold, yet slightly breathless voice immediately came through the walkie-talkie.
"Reporting to the General! At Line 3, four of the six elite-level floating corpses have been dealt with; the remaining two are not a threat!"
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hu's booming voice rang out.
"Line 2, five elites, finishing them off! Hahaha, General, you're moving way too fast! You're not even leaving any scraps for the brothers of the Blazing Fleet!"
"A swift and decisive victory."
Chen Yan's tone suddenly became extremely serious.
"The energy fluctuations of the zombie horde are starting to show abnormalities!"
"That leader-level floating corpse... it's probably about to lose its composure!"
These words immediately caused the atmosphere, which had just eased, to tense up again!
Lu Sheng's gaze unconsciously drifted to the right side of the Vanguard, to the No. 2 defense line not far away.
On the deck of the warship, a burly, bear-like figure wielded a halberd made entirely of azure lightning energy. He charged in and out of the horde of floating corpses, turning them into charred remains with each flash of lightning.
It was Lin Hu!
He single-handedly suppressed four elite-level floating corpses at the same time, forcing them to retreat steadily, displaying unparalleled ferocity!
At the edge of Lin Hu's battlefield, a disheveled figure was being chased and rolled on the ground by the last elite-level floating corpse, running for his life. It was none other than the previously arrogant Feng Kun!
He dodged the deadly attacks in a disheveled manner while screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Commander Lin! Help! I can't hold on much longer! This beast has no sportsmanship, it just keeps chasing me and slashing at me!"
His comical appearance formed an incredibly ironic and stark contrast with Lin Hu's unparalleled charisma.
Lu Sheng shook his head and looked away.
A clown is still a clown.
His gaze shifted to the other side, to the third defensive line.
When he saw the battle situation over there, his pupils contracted sharply again!
A woman in military uniform, looking dashing and heroic, seemed to defy gravity, hovering silently in mid-air more than 20 meters above the deck!
In her hand, she held a longbow formed from radiant green energy!
With each draw of the bowstring, an incredibly fast green energy arrow shot out, piercing the head of an elite-level floating corpse below with perfect precision, extinguishing its life force!
It was Qin Yue!
"Aerial flight...energy-based weapons..."
Looking at the two battlefields, Lu Sheng felt a surge of shock and disbelief.
"Is this ability a mark that only experts at level 5 or higher in the Spirit Source realm can possess?"
His heart was filled with doubt, and also with an endless desire for greater power.
And it was at this moment!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
A sudden, urgent alarm bell rang out once again across the deck!
The roar of the 1130 close-in weapon system subsided again, entering a brief cooldown period.
Without the suppression of this steel wall of fire, endless low-level floating corpses, like a flood bursting its banks, roared once more and fearlessly surged onto the deck!
"Damn it! Come on!" Zhou Hai had just recovered some strength. Looking at the surging tide of corpses, he cursed and came to the deck again, his hands igniting a raging flame.
The battle has broken out again!
Lu Sheng's gaze swept across the deck, then he glanced at the seven dazzling, powerful mid-level spirit source crystal cores and the dozen or so low-level spirit source crystal cores in his storage space.
He had originally planned to use it when his spiritual source experience points were about to break through.
Damn it, let's just absorb it directly!
Lu Sheng no longer hesitated!
While wielding his twin Fiend Spears, sweeping a row of low-level floating corpses that had just rushed up off the deck, he also diverted a sliver of his attention to the system space. Facing the mountain of crystal cores, he let out a roar in his heart, suppressing endless desire!
"system!"
"Absorb it all!"
