Anime Crossover: The Small Workshop System's Aggressive Feeding

Page 85

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

The students cried, pushed and shoved, and rushed toward the armored vehicle in the distance.

Some people even pushed their companions over in the chaos.

Zhou Ye watched all of this with a cold eye.

In his perception of the [Fragment of the Herrscher of Reason], more zombies were converging from all directions.

"A bunch of useless burdens!"

His voice was cold and full of impatience.

The stupidity and cowardice of these people are dragging everyone into a more dangerous situation.

With a thought, the weapon platforms on the roofs of the three black armored vehicles that appeared out of thin air suddenly began to rotate, revealing dark gun barrels.

But right now, the priority is to get the key personnel on board.

"Nami, Saeko, get in the car!" Zhou Ye ordered.

He then walked toward the bodyguards who were still trying to maintain order.

"Those who don't want to die, take your masters and get on that police armored vehicle over there right now!"

Jack, Xiaotian, and the others looked at Zhou Ye, then at the approaching zombies, and gritted their teeth.

"Protect the lady and young lady to get into the car!"

Amid the chaos, the evacuation operation proceeded with great difficulty.

Jack and Oda escorted Yuriko and Saya to one of the vehicles Zhou Ye was in, while they went to drive the other vehicles, followed by a group of terrified students.

Chapter 64 Maid Nanlixiang

The air inside the armored vehicle carrying Zhou Ye and the others was heavy. Nan Lixiang sat in her seat, her trouser leg torn open, revealing a horrifying wound on her calf. Clear teeth marks were visible, and the surrounding skin had begun to turn purple, spreading visibly towards her thigh.

"Shizuka, don't cry."

Nanri looked at Shizuka Marikawa, who was crying uncontrollably, her face pale, but she managed a smile.

"This is the end for me."

Her voice was soft, but everyone could hear it clearly.

Shizuka Marikawa trembled and cried even harder.

"Rika, no! You'll be alright! There must be a way!"

Nan Lixiang shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the other people in the carriage before finally settling on Zhou Ye.

"Silly girl, I used to be a policeman, I know this stuff. It's much more dangerous than rabies."

She pointed to her wound.

"If you get bitten, you're basically waiting to die. Or, you'll become a monster." Her tone was calm, as if she were talking about someone else's situation.

“Those students from earlier, they changed not long after they were bitten.”

She recalled the tragic scene inside the teaching building.

"While I'm still conscious, give me a quick death." Nan Lixiang looked at Zhou Ye, her eyes not pleading, but only a kind of calm that was almost a sense of relief.

Shizuka Marikawa suddenly grabbed Zhou Ye's arm.

"Teacher Zhou! Please! Save Rika! You're so amazing, you must have a way, right!"

Yuriko Takagi and Saya Takagi also looked at Zhou Ye, their eyes filled with anticipation. They had witnessed Zhou Ye's miraculous abilities firsthand; perhaps he really could create miracles.

Zhou Ye's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Nan Lixiang's wound, then at Jukawa Shizuka's tear-streaked face.

"I don't have any antiviral serum here."

He gave a direct answer.

The last glimmer of hope on Shizuka Marikawa and Rika Minami's faces vanished instantly. The others in the car also showed expressions of disappointment.

"But there is another way."

Zhou Ye's voice rang out again.

All eyes were now on him.

"It can't be called a rescue."

Zhou Ye corrected his word choice.

"It is a form of enslavement."

“Slavery?” Nanri Xiang repeated, her brows furrowing slightly.

"I invented and modified gadgets based on a special power."

Zhou Ye didn't explain much, only mentioning one word: 【Stigmata】.

"Implant this thing into your body."

Zhou Ye said.

"The power it generates can instantly kill the T-virus in your body."

"At the same time, an energy called [Honkai Energy] will also enter your body."

"Your body will be transformed, becoming much stronger than it is now."

"You can use Honkai energy."

"You will gain tremendous growth potential."

Zhou Ye listed a series of benefits.

"What's the price?"

Nanri Xiang asked directly. She didn't believe such a good thing could happen.

Zhou Ye looked at her, his tone as calm as if he were stating a fact.

"The price is that you are no longer yourself."

"Your life and your will will belong to me."

"You are my creation, my slave."

"literal meaning."

There was dead silence in the carriage.

slave.

This word sends chills down everyone's spine.

Nan Lixiang stared at Zhou Ye, trying to find a trace of joking on his face, but there was none. This man was serious.

"Does that mean that after I get the so-called 'Holy Mark' implanted, I'll become Teacher Zhou's slave?"

Nanri Kaori confirmed this again.

"You could say that," Zhou Ye nodded.

"Decide whether to die or be implanted and become my slave." Zhou Ye threw the choice to Nan Lixiang.

"You can choose for yourself."

He neither urged nor forced her. The choice was in Nanri Xiang's hands. But she only had these two options.

Shizuka Marikawa covered her mouth, unable to believe what she was hearing. Slaves? How could this be?

Saeko Busujima stood to the side, a strange light flashing in her eyes. A Stigmata? Honkai energy? So that's how his power came about? A low-budget Doraemon? Maybe not so low-budget. This kind of power that can alter the body and control life… how interesting.

Saya Takagi's face turned ashen. She had assumed Zhou Ye possessed some kind of superpower or advanced technology. She never expected him to make such a demand.

Slavery? Even in the apocalypse, this word seems too naked and cruel.

Yuriko Takashiro wasn't that indignant. As an adult, she had seen too much of the evil in human nature, and this was already a good outcome for both sides.

Slave contracts? Energy manipulation? This was beyond her comprehension of science. But Zhou Ye's previous ability to create things out of thin air had already proven that he was no ordinary person.

Is there some power system in the world that she doesn't know about?

Nanri looked down at her wound. The dark purple color was spreading faster and faster, and the pain was getting stronger. She could feel the changes inside her body; that cold, stiff feeling was spreading from the wound throughout her entire body.

Death. Transformed into a mindless monster, attacking its own friends.

Or, live. Possess immense power, but become this man's slave.

She is a former police officer who once pursued justice and maintained order. Unable to endure the pressures of her job, she chose to leave and become a bodyguard. Freedom and dignity are important things in her life.

But now, will these things be enough for her to survive?

She glanced at Shizuka Marikawa, the woman crying her eyes out. She wanted to live, she wanted to protect Shizuka.

"How strong is the power you're talking about?" Nan Lixiang asked in a hoarse voice.

Zhou Ye extended one finger

"After implanting the Holy Mark, your physical strength will be at least five to eight times that of an ordinary elite special forces soldier."

Zhou Ye said.

"Its potential is limitless. It can also evolve based on your later training."

Five to eight times more elite special forces? Nan Lixiang gasped.

A normal person's punching force is about 80 kilograms, and after strength training, it can reach about 100 kilograms.

That means she can throw a punch with a force of 500 to 800 kilograms, and that's just the beginning.

"You will possess superhuman speed, strength, and reaction abilities."

Zhou Ye continued his statement.

"Honkai energy can be used to strengthen the body or unleash special abilities."

"special power?"

You'll find out later.
