"Don't forget, my current identity is Bai Zhanwang, and you're the inspector, A Xin. These guards naturally recognize us. Running now would only arouse more suspicion."
Upon hearing this, Freya realized her oversight.
She had been so anxious just now that she had forgotten their current identities.
After saying that, Bradley composed himself, then walked out and appeared in front of the guards, asking in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
When the guards saw him, they said respectfully, "Mr. Bai, why are you here?"
Bradley's handsome face instantly turned gloomy. The guards were intimidated by his imposing manner and dared not speak further. They hung their heads and pleaded for punishment, "I was talking too much. Please punish me, Mr. Bai."
"You indeed deserve punishment." Bradley coldly threw out these words and stepped forward.
Looking at these madmen up close, Bradley clearly noticed that their whole bodies were convulsing and their faces were turning blue. It seemed that the venom had caused side effects.
If the venom couldn't be integrated into their bodies, these people would surely die suddenly sooner or later.
"I heard quite a commotion outside just now. What happened?"
The guard replied, "These are the experimental subjects who just received the first injection of the medicine. However, their constitutions can't adapt to the venom, and they keep going crazy and screaming frequently. I had no choice but to inject them with the second kind of liquid medicine and bring them here to be locked up."
Bradley narrowed his eyes fiercely.
Suddenly, all these people clutched their heads and let out painful screams, and then they all rushed towards Bradley frantically.
"Mr. Bai, be careful." Sensing the danger, the guards drew their knives and rushed forward to protect Bradley.
However, these people had just been injected with the medicine and had completely lost control of their minds. They couldn't listen to anything at all.
The guards couldn't control them at all, and soon they were surrounded and beaten up by these people.
After a while, the two guards were left barely alive by the madmen.
"Bradley, we have to get out of here quickly. These madmen are having an attack." Freya frowned as she watched all this. After undergoing layers of mutation, the beastly venom was several times more powerful than before.
Now that the guards were dead, these madmen were desperately tearing at the corpses and even biting them with their teeth. This terrifying scene made Freya think of the scene of wild beasts tearing at their prey.
Just as she was thinking, suddenly a group of madmen with blood on their hands attacked them.
Bradley quickly ran over, grabbed Freya's hand, and ran towards the exit.
The room was filled with the smell of blood and the ferocious and shrill roars of the madmen.
The madmen who had seen blood ran extremely fast. They scattered in all directions and soon surrounded the two of them again.
Freya and Bradley stood back to back. Bradley said in a serious voice, "I'll hold them off. You find a way to get out of here."
Without thinking, Freya blurted out, "No. If we're going to leave, we'll leave together. If we're going to die, we'll die together."
Their hearts had already been joined as one, and neither of them could live without the other. How could she let Bradley face the danger alone?
Before they could think further, the madmen bared their teeth and pounced on them.
These madmen had red eyes. Although their movements were stiff, they were extremely manic. They were completely different from the puppet people outside and also different from the death soldiers they had encountered in the underground maze.
They were bloodthirsty and savage, with no human consciousness at all. They could even be called monsters.
Watching them rush forward, Freya shot out her silver needles, which directly pierced the hands and legs of the madmen. The madmen only paused for a few seconds, and then they roared and attacked them even faster.
"The silver needles don't work. Instead, they'll stimulate them." Freya said in a serious voice.
The silver needles could control the madmen before, but after the venom mutated, they had become completely ineffective, which was something Freya had never expected.
"These madmen have been injected with several kinds of venom, and their minds are already confused. Freya, if we don't leave now, it will be too late." Bradley kicked down a madman who pounced on him and turned back to Freya.
These people attacked without any rules, and with their large numbers, if they kept being entangled like this, neither of them would be able to leave here.
Freya clenched her fists and struck the madman's cheek with all her strength, retorting, "Bradley, if I asked you to leave, would you go?"
While protecting her, Bradley said, "Impossible."
"Then I'll also tell you that I want to fight by your side. Even if we can't get out of this door, I want to die with you." She stared deeply at Bradley, and her bright eyes sparkled with a dazzling and firm light.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The two of them just stared at each other, forgetting to breathe, as if everything around them didn't exist.
Seeing that they didn't fight back, the madmen suddenly stopped their attack.
In the silent air, there were only the gasps of the madmen and the ferocious sounds of their grinding teeth.
At this moment, Freya suddenly reacted and said in a low voice, "I understand. As long as we hold our breath and don't move, they won't hurt us."
Upon hearing this, Bradley immediately held his breath.
The madmen circled around them and then scattered forward one by one.
Bradley didn't say anything more. He quickly pulled her out of this secret room.
After narrowly escaping death, the two of them hugged each other tightly. Bradley's grip was extremely strong, as if he wanted to crush her into his bones.
Freya nestled in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and let out a deep sigh. "It was really dangerous just now."
"From now on, don't be so willful." Bradley held her shoulders, lowered his handsome face, and planted a deep kiss on her forehead. "Be obedient, okay?"
Freya fluttered her eyelashes and nodded. "Okay. You're my husband, and I'll listen to you."
Bradley smiled and hugged her even tighter.
At this moment, Qin Gou rushed over.
Seeing the two of them in a sorry state, he quickly asked, "What happened just now?"
Freya left Bradley's embrace and said, "You came at the right time. We just encountered a group of venom experimental subjects. They're bloodthirsty and brutal, and they should be the madmen you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, a shocked light flashed in Qin Gou's eyes. "Where are they?"
Freya pointed to the south and replied, "In that secret room. There are more than a dozen madmen in total."
Qin Gou didn't say anything and was about to step forward.
"Those madmen were just injected with venom, and their emotions are extremely manic. It's very dangerous for you to go there now." Freya stopped him.
Qin Gou turned back and looked at her, saying, "It doesn't matter. I have a way to deal with them."
After saying that, he rushed in despite the obstruction.
Freya and Bradley were worried about his safety and followed him in.
As soon as they stepped into the secret room, they saw the two guard corpses lying on the ground. Freya asked Bradley, "Do we need to deal with these two bodies?"
Bradley didn't answer, but Qin Gou said first, "There's no need to deal with the bodies. It's difficult to control the madmen when they have an attack. Almost every day or two, guards are attacked and die. Even if Bai Zhanwang finds these corpses, it doesn't matter. At most, he'll just have someone drag them out and bury them and never ask about the cause of death."
