My Summons Can Learn Skills - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: The Bloodsucker Team’s Captain

Soon, the other eight people also picked their own code names.

Violent Bear suddenly took a stainless steel square box from the man behind him that contained ten marble-sized balls.

They looked like Chinese medicine pills, but in fact, the surface of these blood-red balls was uneven and even slightly wiggling.

“Take one each and swallow it.” Violent Bear extended his hand and offered the square box to everyone.

“What’s that?” An Zhanyu, who wasn’t asked to swallow one, asked curiously.

“They’re the virus seeds of Tyrannical Licker. Once an outbreak occurs, you will become a zombie that only knows how to kill in a few hours… However, as long as you guys are good, the organization will provide an antidote to suppress the virus regularly.”

Violent Bear scanned everyone and said with a chuckle, “Those who don’t want to eat it can speak up. The organization has always followed the principle of free will when recruiting members and never forces anyone.”

“I’ll eat it.”

The strong man who had previously knelt on the ground while crying and laughing was the first one to take the virus seed and swallow it without hesitation.

Chen Gou didn’t say anything. He was the next person to go forward and pick up a seed before pretending to swallow it.

As his Adam’s apple moved and he moved down his empty palms, everyone thought that he had swallowed the virus seed.

However…

Everything was just a cover-up. When he had put his palm to his mouth with his head tilted back, he had actually placed the virus seed into the storage space!

He had done it without anyone knowing.

When the nine of them all swallowed the virus seeds, Violent Bear finally nodded and said with a smile, “Welcome to the organization. From now on, you’re part of the organization and you can claim all your equipment back later.

“Also, the nine of you will be grouped into a squad with the code name Bloodsucker…”

He paused slightly as he said that before he suddenly pointed at Chen Gou and said, “Ksitigarbha is your captain. All of you have to listen to his orders unconditionally. When necessary, the captain has the right to decide about the members’ fates!

“Of course, you guys can also challenge him to take his position, but you can only do so once every six months.”

The three survivors from Cell One and Cell Three were all pale.

They had a grudge against Chen Gou, and this appointment would undoubtedly be making their future miserable.

Violent Bear didn’t care what they thought and had his men take everyone to their quarters before leaving.

After following the people from the Blood Umbrella Organization and going out of the cave, Chen Gou got a clear view of their environment.

They were in a huge valley surrounded by towering cliffs, and the cliff walls were shaped inward based on how high they were. It was as if a cover had been added to the top of the valley.

It made the entire valley very secretive and difficult to detect from the sky.

Everyone marveled at the greatness of nature.

“May I ask where we are, sir?” Chen Gou took the initiative to try and get close to the person leading the way.

“Don’t shout like that. You’re the captain, but I’m a junior member of the organization.”

The person leading the way said, “This is the organization’s most important virus bloodline research base. It’s located within the abyss of zombies. I can’t say much about anything else, and I don’t know either. You just have to remember not to run around without being ordered.

“Don’t even try to sneak back. Without permission, you guys can’t get past the Blue Wave World’s rainbow gate.”

The entire valley was a fortress with extremely tight security that was always ready for battle. Chen Gou and the others were led to a three-story building that would be the Bloodsucker Team’s base garrison.

The building was not luxuriously decorated, but it was fully equipped and filled with a modern atmosphere.

It had everything from sofas to water heaters, as well as a swimming pool.

An Zhanyu tutted and said, “It looks fine. It seems that the b*stard Blood Umbrella Organization is still good to its own people.”

Chen Gou ignored him and walked straight to the third floor. He pushed open the master bedroom door, walked into the bathroom, and took a hot shower to wash away all the dirt and blood on his body.

“System notification: The host has killed an Awakened Level-14 human Awakener. 210 Awakening Points have been obtained.”

“System notification: The host has killed an Awakened Level-9 human Awakener. 120 Awakening Points have been obtained.”

…

“System notification: The host has killed an Awakened Level-5 human Awakener. 250 Awakening Points have been obtained.”

“System notification: The host has reached Awakened Level 9. A Magic Origin Light has been obtained.”

While showering, Chen Gou looked at the system log.

He had killed a total of four or five people in the cave whose levels had all been above Level 10. Those people had been suppressed below Level 10 at the time, but their actual levels had remained the same.

Nevertheless, this had only allowed him to rise from Level 8 to Level 9, which proved that the number of Awakening Points that could be absorbed by killing human Awakeners was pitifully low.

Chen Gou still had two Magic Origin Lights left on him.

After some consideration, he decided not to use them for the time being.

The two Magic Origin Lights could add four points to his primary attributes. Adding them at a critical moment might resolve a desperate situation.

As the sound of soft footsteps approached, Angeline’s voice was heard. “Sir, someone asked us to collect our own equipment.”

“I have a set of silver-grade Deathwalker Armor and a bronze-grade Ghost Cloak. Get them back for me.”

“Okay.”

When Angeline left, Chen Gou looked at his face in the wall mirror and was suddenly shocked.

He remembered that there was a loophole in the plan he and An Zhanyu had come up with.

He could temporarily turn into An Zhanyu by using the Morph Skill, but what about An Zhanyu himself?

If An Zhanyu could not turn into him and they discovered that there were two An Zhanyus or couldn’t find Ksitigarbha, Violent Bear and the rest would definitely be suspicious!

“An Zhanyu has to turn into me when I turn into him…” Chen Gou mumbled. He naturally wouldn’t let An Zhanyu learn the Morph Skill.

“The only way is to make use of psychological inertia and create an illusion.”

After pondering this for a long time, Chen Gou finally came up with the only viable countermeasure.

Bang!

He smashed the mirror and picked up a piece of broken glass before holding it in his hand like a dagger.

Then, he slashed his own face!

It was painful but bearable.

Unconsciously, his heart had become ruthless.

A clean face that hadn’t originally been handsome had been disfigured.

Ten minutes later, when he came out of the room and walked to the living room on the second floor, the people who had collected their equipment were shocked to see his ghost-like appearance.

“Captain, you…”

Chen Gou looked at Angeline. “Find another mask for me.”

“Okay.”

Angeline, who didn’t dare delay, went downstairs but bumped into Violent Bear, who was coming up. “Do you think that the Covenant won’t know that you joined the Blood Umbrella Organization now that you’ve disfigured yourself?”

Chen Gou replied calmly, “Of course not. I just want to break away from my previous self and be a pure and evil ghost in the future.”

“It’s good that you know that.”

Violent Bear relaxed his demeanor and told An Zhanyu, who was watching from the side, “I’ll take you to the lab in half an hour, so don’t go anywhere.”

“Then come back in half an hour. Don’t ruin the atmosphere here. Haven’t you noticed that everyone stopped talking once you arrived?”

An Zhanyu, who was confident that the Blood Umbrella Organization wanted his active cooperation to study the bloodline virus, waved his hand impolitely, indicating that he should leave.

Violent Bear didn’t get angry about such things. He only snorted and left.
