Chapter 1955: Berserk State
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Harris and Li Ziqiang’s hearts skipped a beat when they saw the thing in Lin Yi’s hands.

They had gone through so much trouble to plan this operation because they were looking for this thing!

However, they didn’t expect the C-grade serum to be on Lin Yi.

If they had known that this was the case, they would have searched him in advance!

“Is, is this what they’re looking for…”

Instinctively, Ji Qingyan felt that the syringe in Lin Yi’s hand was not something good.

Having seen similar scenes in movies, and given the current situation, it was likely some kind of contraband.

In reality, Lin Yi had just thought of this and recalled he had it on him. In this dire moment, he pulled it out.

Lin Yi was confident but not arrogant.

He knew very well that in his current state, dealing with two C-level experts was impossible.

This was his only chance!

“Hand it over now!”

Standing outside and facing off against Kenji Nakada and the others, Chen Canrong shouted.

As long as they got this, the mission would be complete.

“If you don’t want to die, hand it over.”

Harris and Li Qiangsheng could have killed Lin Yi and taken it by force.

But unless absolutely necessary, they didn’t want to do that.

No matter what, Lin Yi was with the Central Guard Brigade.

Killing him would offend the Central Guard Brigade, which wouldn’t benefit Hongmen at all.

They wanted to seize it peacefully if possible.

“If I was going to hand it over, I wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble, haha…”

Lin Yi’s lips curled into a cold smile.

“And I said earlier, you committed a capital crime, so you must die!”

With that, Lin Yi injected the C-level serum into his arm!

He injected the entire dose!

The room fell silent.

Neither Chen Canrong nor Harris had anticipated that Lin Yi would inject the serum into himself!

“Lin Yi!”

Ji Qingyan cried out, her face pale as if she were gravely ill.

“Why did you do that? Don’t you know how dangerous it is?”

“I know, but since they laid hands on you, I won’t let them go, even if it means dying!” Lin Yi said.

“As long as I’m alive, no one will harm you!”

Every dragon had its treasure, touch it and you die!

And Ji Qingyan was Lin Yi’s treasure!

“You’re burning up!”

Ji Qingyan panicked, not understanding why this was happening.

Lin Yi couldn’t answer her questions.

He could feel his blood boiling like scalding water, rushing through his veins like a flood.

The pain vanished instantly, and he felt a surge of energy, instantly reaching his peak state.

He felt invincible!

Kneeling beside him, Ji Qingyan heard Lin Yi’s heart pounding like thunder.

Though she was not a medical expert, she knew such a rapid heartbeat was dangerous!

“Lin Yi, how do you feel? Please, tell me. Don’t push yourself,” Ji Qingyan wept. “If something happens to you, I won’t survive.”

“I’m fine…”

Responding briefly, Lin Yi stood up coldly, flexing his wrists, and muttered to himself,

‘So this is what C-class feels like.’

Lin Yi had already been close to C-class and knew what it was like.

In reality, even those barely at C-class might not have been his match.

With the serum, he had instantly reached the peak of C-class!

But he didn’t know how long it would last.

Seeing Lin Yi now, Harris and Li Qiangsheng were terrified.

They were all Hongmen’s trusted aides and knew the effects of the C-class serum.

A complete set of C-class serum was divided into three injections, each with a dosage of four milliliters.

Although the components of the three injections were the same, only the first one had any effect. The remaining two needles only stabilized one’s condition.

Once the first injection was administered, it allowed a B-class1 individual to temporarily reach C-class status. However, the user’s body typically would not be able to withstand the potent effects of the C-class serum.

Within the next ten minutes, the remaining two injections had to be administered to stimulate cardiac and skeletal muscle functions, thus achieving a significant enhancement.

If the user still could not handle the effects after the remaining two injections, the result would be death.

However, it would not be an immediate death. The user would enter a “berserk” state due to the serum’s stimulation until their blood vessels burst, leading to death from exhaustion.

This was why Harris and Li Qiangsheng reacted so strongly when they saw Lin Yi inject himself with the C-class serum.

In their eyes, Lin Yi would soon lose consciousness.

Then, he would become a mindless beast!

“What now?”

Harris whispered to Chen Canrong behind him.

Both Harris and Li Qiangsheng were filled with apprehension.

From their earlier confrontation, they had a good understanding of Lin Yi’s abilities.

Despite being only D-class, if they fought him one-on-one, it would still be a tough battle even if they did end up winning.

Now, with the C-class serum in his system, it was unclear how much stronger he had become.

If they didn’t give their all, they might die.

“Stall him. Once he dies, take the body!” Chen Canrong instructed.

“His body has research value. We can’t let his corpse return to the Central Guard Brigade!”

“Understood!”

Harris responded, and upon receiving Chen Canrong’s command, he stopped being aggressive like before.

While they could still kill Lin Yi together, it was unnecessary.

Having injected only one dose of the serum, he was bound to die anyway. They just needed to wait.

But Li Qiangsheng looked grim.

Unlike Harris, Li Qiangsheng was more impulsive and eager to test himself against Lin Yi, hoping to gauge the C-class serum’s effects.

“Thinking you can wear me out? Impossible.”

As soon as Lin Yi spoke, he lunged at Li Qiangsheng.

His movements were so swift that Li Qiangsheng barely had time to react!

“You think injecting C-class serum makes me afraid of you?”

Realizing he couldn’t dodge, Li Qiangsheng prepared to counterattack!

When Lin Yi was just a meter away, he leaped into the air, coldly saying,

“Prepare to die!”
