The Max-Level Boss Just Wants to Be a Slacker [Apocalypse] – CH75

Chapter 75: Overwhelming Strength

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Mo Xu couldn’t help but laugh.

What was wrong with these guys?

Each one looked ready to die together with him.

Perhaps this second life was truly not bad. He had gained so many things he never had in his previous life.

But…

“Don’t you think you’re all a bit too nervous?” Mo Xu said helplessly.

The first shadow that rushed at them had indeed looked intimidating.

But with his many years of combat experience—and the huge improvement in his powers this life—he could quickly estimate the enemy’s strength.

Mo Qi, standing in front of him protectively, chuckled when he heard this.

There was nothing to worry about.

With him here, he would be his lover’s strongest support.

“Go ahead and fight freely,” Mo Qi said softly. “I’ve got everything covered.”

Mo Xu immediately broke into a wide grin.

The lightning sphere in his hand grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the corridor.

Only then did they clearly see what was approaching.

Those clawing creatures could no longer be called human.

They looked like hybrids between humans and zombies.

Mo Qi could clearly feel the surging demonic energy within them—but they were not fully controlled by it.

Their bulging muscles and greedy, ferocious expressions felt strangely familiar to him.

They reminded him of cultivators who had fallen into demonic corruption in pursuit of power.

True demonic cultivators used demonic energy to cultivate—but falling into demonic corruption was completely different.

Those who fell were no longer truly human.

They were beings who willingly transformed themselves into something else for the sake of power.

So this was the truth behind the professor’s research.

Just as Mo Qi was thinking about it, Mo Xu’s lightning sphere suddenly expanded.

In the next instant—

It transformed into several lightning dragons that surged toward the monsters.

Mo Qi watched happily.

The creatures were instantly struck by the Level-8 lightning dragons and reduced to ashes.

He almost wanted to applaud.

His lover’s fighting style was just as decisive and impressive as his own.

Behind them, Cheng Cheng and the others were stunned.

Cheng Cheng didn’t even get the chance to swing his thorn whip before all the enemies were gone.

“Oh my god, Brother Mo! That’s insane! Did your ability level up again?” Cheng Cheng exclaimed.

Xiao Wan stood frozen with her ice spikes, completely stunned.

They had come prepared to fight desperately.

But things were… not turning out how they imagined.

Mo Qi laughed outright at their expressions.

Since his lover wanted to enjoy the thrill of battle, he would gladly support him.

His massive spiritual sense spread out, instantly covering the entire research institute.

Through it, he easily identified the remaining enemies waiting ahead.

All of them shared one thing in common—

Their bodies were filled with demonic energy.

The professor was good at hiding.

He had thrown countless disposable soldiers in their way while hiding in the deepest part of the institute, believing he could control everything safely from the shadows.

“Darling, this way,” Mo Qi said with a smile.

Though they were in a narrow, dark corridor, he walked as casually as if strolling through the countryside.

Mo Xu followed closely behind.

The next enemies were higher-level mutated creatures. They looked less grotesque than the previous batch—if one ignored their strange skin tones and blood-red eyes.

Becoming this ugly had indeed increased their strength.

But compared to Mo Xu’s current power, they were still insignificant.

Soon the battle intensified.

This time there were enough enemies that everyone finally had something to do.

Thorn vines from mutated plants, various talismans, and ice spikes all flew into battle.

Finally, Mo Xu detonated a massive lightning sphere—

A huge explosion wiped out the remaining enemies.

Even the thick walls nearby were blasted apart.

As the dust settled and visibility returned, they saw the mastermind standing before them.

Professor Frank—wearing a white coat, hair disheveled—stared at them in disbelief.

He had never imagined meeting them like this.

In his original plan, Mo Xu’s team would have been overwhelmed by public outrage.

Then they would have been captured and delivered to the institute as experimental subjects.

“How… how is this possible…” Professor Frank stammered.

Mo Xu’s eyes turned icy.

He walked forward and grabbed the professor by the throat.

But before he could act, footsteps echoed behind them.

Mo Xu frowned, thinking someone had come to interfere.

Turning around, he saw familiar faces.

The commotion had been so loud that the Xiong brothers guarding outside couldn’t stay put.

Xiong Gangyong had rushed in first, and Xiong Mingyuan followed with others.

They arrived to find the institute half in ruins—and Mo Xu’s group completely unharmed.

Soon after, even more people flooded into the institute.

Most were civilians from Shanhe Base.

They had gone to Mo Xu’s apartment looking for him, then heard he was at the institute and followed.

They had come to condemn him.

But what they saw instead shocked them.

Scattered everywhere were the corpses of grotesque monsters.

“My god! What are those? Zombies?” someone cried.

“No… they don’t look like zombies I’ve seen before…”

“Wait… isn’t that Xiao Li? He said he was helping at the research institute… how did he become a monster?!”

Panic spread among the crowd.

Mo Qi stepped forward.

“Do you see?” he said calmly.

“This is the result of the professor you respect, admire, and want to protect. Is this what you wanted?”

Now everything became clear.

These monsters had been created by the research institute.

The man they had trusted to save humanity had actually been producing horrors.

No one spoke up to defend Professor Frank anymore.

Mo Xu, however, felt slightly dissatisfied.

With so many people present, using harsher interrogation methods would be troublesome.

He had originally planned to torture the truth out of the professor.

But with outsiders watching—and the demonic energy involved—he worried the truth might reveal secrets related to Mo Qi.

Mo Qi sensed his concern and gently patted his shoulder.

Then he turned to Xiong Mingyuan.

“Base Chief Xiong, things are chaotic right now. We’ll leave the rest to you.

As for Professor Frank, he should be imprisoned for now—just in case he has done other dangerous things that could threaten the base.”

Seeing the overwhelming strength of Mo Xu’s group, Xiong Mingyuan quickly agreed.

The professor was captured and taken away.

Later, when everyone else had left, only Professor Frank, Mo Xu, and Mo Qi remained in the room.

Mo Xu stepped forward, grabbing the professor by the throat and lifting him off the ground.

“Speak,” he said coldly. “What else have you done?”

But even as his face turned purple from lack of air, Professor Frank remained silent, an eerie smile on his lips.

Mo Xu narrowed his eyes and threw him to the ground.

Lightning flickered in his hand.

“If you won’t talk willingly,” he said coldly, “I have ways to make you.”

At that moment, Mo Qi cleared his throat and interrupted.

With a playful smile, he made a polite gesture.

“I’m not particularly talented,” he said lightly, “but I do know a little truth-telling spell.”
