Chapter 235 The Abandoned Cannon Fodder Beauty in the Apocalypse (24)
Upon receiving the order, the boy named Ayuan was taken to the laboratory by everyone.
Each person was separated and placed in a closed, sealed room within the laboratory.
Finally, A Yuan gently placed Shen Chumo on the floor of the secret room, but did not leave. Instead, he squatted in front of Shen Chumo and lingered for a while.
Shen Chumo had already taken off his mask. The mask that originally covered half of his face was casually placed aside, revealing Shen Chumo's complete face.
His gaze lingered on Shen Chumo's face. Shen Chumo could sense that his gaze did not carry any evil desire; it was like a newborn animal curiously observing the unknown world.
"Ah Yuan, aren't you coming out yet?"
The man seemed to notice that A Yuan had been lingering in the secret room for too long and began to urge him on.
But A Yuan didn't respond to him. Instead, he reached out and poked Shen Chumo's face. The action was a cautious probing. His fingers gently touched Shen Chumo's fair cheek, as if he was afraid that he would hurt her if he used too much force.
"A-Yuan, what are you doing?!"
All that could be heard was that the person came up behind A Yuan, saw A Yuan's movements, and suddenly raised his voice, his tone filled with disbelief.
A Yuan turned to look at him, as if he didn't understand why he was so surprised.
"Come out here."
The man stepped forward, grabbed A Yuan's hand, and pulled him out of the secret room. Then, with a bang, the door to the secret room was slammed shut.
As the door closed, Shen Chumo opened her eyes.
After dragging A-Yuan to the laboratory, the man grabbed A-Yuan's arms with both hands and stared intently into A-Yuan's eyes.
Trying to find the answer in his eyes, to figure out the reason for his unusual behavior in the secret room just now.
"A-Yuan, tell me, who am I?"
A Yuan stared into his eyes, his pupils momentarily dazed.
"You are...brother...brother...."
A Yuan's voice was very hoarse, like someone who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly opening their mouth. The hoarse voice revealed a trace of weakness and confusion, as if they had just struggled to wake up from a chaotic dream.
His eyes held a hint of bewilderment, and his gaze toward the person before him was familiar yet tinged with a trace of fear.
Why is he afraid when he sees his brother?
Hearing A Yuan's answer, the man was not particularly pleased. He forced an ugly smile, a smile that looked as if it had been forcibly pulled out, revealing a twisted and strange quality.
He tilted his head and looked at A Yuan, his eyes revealing madness.
"Ah Yuan, you're so naughty, how could you recover?"
As he spoke, he slowly approached A Yuan.
"For the sake of our brotherhood, I didn't want you to become a monster too, but why did you insist on regaining consciousness?"
Looking at the ferocious face of the person in front of him, Ah Yuan's mind was filled with blurry images. These images were like looking through a thick fog, indistinct yet constantly churning in his mind.
He seemed to see himself in a dimly lit space, surrounded by the faint glow of various strange instruments, his body bound and unable to move.
The older brother stood to the side, his expression equally complex, a mixture of reluctance and determination, as if he were making an important decision.
His head was throbbing with pain, and he instinctively clutched his head with both hands before everything went black.
Inside the secret room, Shen Chumo opened her eyes, stood up, and looked around the room. The room was not large, only a few square meters in size, with walls on all sides, except for a small transparent window on the door. The snow-white walls exuded a cold atmosphere.
Shen Chumo walked to the door and looked out the window. She could barely see a few other doors around her that were the same as this one. Those doors were also tightly closed, and the other people must be locked inside.
Shen Chumo tapped her finger lightly on the wall, lost in thought. The person who captured them said they were there to be used for experiments. This reminded her of the zombies in the container outside and the corpses in the pool.
It's not hard to guess that the zombies here were likely created by this pervert who captured humans and forcibly transformed them into zombies. This person probably has the ability to control zombies.
By turning people into zombies, he can better control them to carry out one of his experiments.
Perhaps he is researching the evolutionary direction of zombies, trying to create a more powerful and obedient zombie horde;
Or perhaps they want to use zombies to explore the mysteries of superpowers or other mysterious forces. After all, in this apocalyptic world, the emergence of superpowers is inherently shrouded in mystery, and zombies seem to hold many unsolved enigmas.
He attempted to uncover the secrets through this immoral and unethical method, completely disregarding the lives he destroyed and the disasters he brought to the world.
There might be a third, even more terrifying possibility, but whatever his purpose may be, this person absolutely cannot continue to live.
Shen Chumo suddenly thought of the boy's name, A Yuan...
The zombie king in the mission is named Lin Yuan. Is it a coincidence that both names contain the character "Yuan"?
Tuanzi suddenly spoke up: "MoMo, the results of the previous crystal core test are in. This crystal core is a wood-type crystal core. Its composition is very special, containing a large amount of wood-type natural element energy."
However, besides these, there were other special energy fluctuations mixed in, which I investigated.
Only then did I learn that this energy was originally called Blood Sting. It was born in a destroyed world, a world that was originally a happy and peaceful place. But the appearance of Blood Sting was like a sudden nightmare, shattering the peace and tranquility there.
It can grant humans power, but if overused, it can affect their brains, turning them into incredibly brutal and bloodthirsty monsters who then begin killing each other.
Ultimately, that world also perished.
Shen Chumo's expression darkened. "So this crystal core is unusable?"
Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes showed seriousness and worry.
You see, the people of this world rely heavily on crystal cores to restore and enhance their supernatural abilities. If this continues indefinitely, wouldn't it...?
"That's how it should be in theory, but fortunately there aren't many blood stings in the crystal core, and the energy of the natural elements in the crystal core will also suppress the energy of the blood stings invisibly."
The little dumpling swayed its round body in the air, a hint of relief in its small eyes.
"As long as it's not used extensively, there shouldn't be any major problems for the time being."
However... the later the ability progresses, the more crystal cores are needed, so this problem is still unavoidable.
The original novel did not describe this problem. 80% of the plot focused on Bai Nuannuan's romances with the five male protagonists. In the end, Bai Nuannuan developed an antidote using the spiritual spring, and the story ended there.
Perhaps the spiritual spring accidentally managed to dispel the blood stings?
