From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 706
Chapter 706 The Most Familiar Stranger
The heavy rain gradually stopped. The dam that had been washed away also returned to calm. The vast underground base had been completely submerged in the river water. However, in a courtyard not far from the dam, a raging fire was burning fiercely, almost causing the pitch-black sky to turn red.
“Brother! Have a good journey …”
A handful of red notes were suddenly scattered into the sky, dancing like snow. Chen Guangda, who was standing beside the fire, was just like when he personally saw Ding Li off. The only thing he could do was to silently shed tears as he watched Yang Hao’s corpse being devoured by the fire.
“Darling! Do you blame me for letting you eat the Black Corpse Bug again …”
Xia Fei gently walked behind him. Her red eyes were also filled with tears. After taking a deep breath, Chen Guangda shook his head and said, “This may be my destiny. As long as my mission is not completed, the heavens will not let me off the heavy burden. Anyway, it will not let me have a good life!”
After saying that, Chen Guang gently wiped away his tears. He turned around and walked into the room with Xia Fei in his arms. Very quickly, he arrived at a very spacious laboratory. Fu Yu, who was wearing a white coat, was operating a microscope. This fellow was like a new person. His incomparably focused appearance really had the aura of an expert, making people completely unable to believe that he was only a chef in the past.
“Uh …”
Two painful groans suddenly sounded from the side. Seeing Fifth Brother and Su Tong lying side by side on the mattress, their bodies unconsciously twitched. However, Zhou Shengwu, who was kneeling at the side, was even more nervous than them. He clenched his fists tightly and continued to cheer Su Tong on in a low voice. However, after a while, the two of them regained their calm, and their violently heaving chests kept bulging outwards.
“Don’t worry, this is the inevitable reaction of the serum against the virus. I estimate that we should know in half an hour …”
Fu Yu put down the things in his hand and walked over. Chen Guangda patted his shoulder and turned around. After the two of them arrived outside the lounge, Chen Guangsha handed over a cigarette and said, “Tell us the whole story of the base. What is your purpose?”
“I think you’ve guessed it. When the dam was built, the workers accidentally discovered the cavern below. After the exploration team went down, they discovered the green crystal …”
Fu Yu lit a cigarette and sighed. “The green crystal is not something on our planet. It should be a product left behind by a meteor. After tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, it has gradually formed a natural karst cave. However, if the green crystal was just a mineral, it would be fine. However, it is the source of all evil that caused this calamity!”
Fu Yu paused for a moment and then said, “When we discovered the green crystal, it contained a black insect. My teacher called it the Ancestor of All Insects, because all the corpse insects were produced by it, and the corpse poison was also extracted from its body!”
“What exactly is the origin of the Black Corpse Bug …”
Chen Guangda was already extremely shocked. Even if he was beaten to death, he hadn’t expected that this devastating calamity was actually brought by the Black Corpse Insect. Furthermore, this guy was still obediently staying in his stomach.
“Who knows! The origins of the Black Corpse Bug have long exceeded our knowledge. However, my teacher once said that it is like a Great Abyss Devil sealed in a Pandora’s Magic Box. If no one else is able to destroy it, then throw it on Earth and dispose of it …”
Fu Yu shook his head and continued, ‘”That’s why he warned the project’s founder that the Black Corpse Bug might bring unimaginable disaster. However, those people were all blinded by the benefits before them. They only saw the value of the corpse poison in resurrecting the dead, but they couldn’t see the ability of the corpse poison to destroy everything. They tried to go against the heavens, but in the end, they killed everyone!”
“How did the corpse poison leak out? Was it man-made or accidental …”
Chen Guangda frowned deeply, but Fu Yu sneered and said, “You’ve seen the scale of the base. Layers upon layers of protection are guarding it. How could there be an accident? Of course, this is a man-made disaster. It was all done by those who are interested in it!”
Fu Yu continued, ‘”Do you know what the best way to make a lot of money is to let the people of the world get sick together? Moreover, only you can cure this disease. At that time, the people of the world will come to beg you. You can rule the world without spending a single soldier and a single death. Who can not be tempted by such a great temptation? That’s why those madmen personally created this disaster!”
“There are more than 7 billion people in the world. How can they guarantee that the serum will be delivered to everyone …”
Chen Guangda furrowed his brows in anger, but Fu Yu curled his lips and said, “They only want to be the boss of the world. Who cares about the lives of people from other countries? There are also those hunters and pursuers. They were created to deal with emergencies, but their plans will never catch up with the changes!”
“How did they release the corpse poison? I once heard a researcher say that the corpse poison should have come from outer space in two waves …”
Chen Guangda was puzzled. But Fu Yu said disdainfully, ‘”What kind of researcher are you? Aren’t you better off than me, a chef? They sent the virus flying high into the sky through a rocket. In just half a month, it swept the world. It wasn’t two waves. It only took one wave to solve the entire human race. Corpse poison can only be transmitted through liquid. If you hadn’t drank contaminated water in those few days, you would be very lucky to survive!”
“Since they have all sent out the corpse poison, why haven’t they prepared the serum …”
Chen Guangda was very suspicious. Unexpectedly, Fu Yu sighed and said, “Because the corpse poison has mutated in the process of spreading, “It became a hundred times more ferocious than the target he set. All the serum they created was crippled, but these things were done behind our backs. By the time we found out, it was too late. The batch of serum we rushed to produce also failed, directly causing the pursuers to lose control and destroy the entire base!”
“Are those people firing rockets in the northwest? What else is there in the northwest?”
Chen Guangda looked at Fu Yu urgently. Fu Yu immediately nodded and said, “Yes! They are rockets launched in the northwest. All the serum is produced there. There is also a biological weapons research center there. However, it is not as big as ours. I heard that they are working on something even more powerful than the pursuers. It is called the Demonic Embryo Project!”
“Demonic embryo plan? What the hell …”
Chen Guangda frowned in puzzlement, but Fu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t know such a high-level secret, and they won’t tell us so easily. I only know that once the Demon Embryo Plan succeeds, all living corpses in the world, including the Ten Staff Corpse Kings, will be unable to resist!”
“So powerful? By the way, do you recognize a person called Liu Hao? It is said that he is in charge of the entire gathering place in the northwest …”
Chen Guangda gravely folded his arms, but Fu Yu shook his head in confusion. However, Wang Dafu, who had been listening to him, looked at him suspiciously. Chen Guangda could only sigh and say, “Liu Hao is Liu Qianqian’s brother, but he is at most a half-official and half-merchant young master. It really puzzles me to suddenly become the king of the Northwest!”
“You used to be a coffin seller, but now you’re still a Southern Barbarian King. There’s nothing strange about a hero in a chaotic world …”
Wang Dafu chuckled nonchalantly, and then said, “But from Liu Qianqian’s exile to Golden City, Liu Hao shouldn’t be one of the participants in this calamity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let his sister take risks outside. It’s very likely that he became the king of the Northwest after some lucky coincidence!”
“Darling! Fifth Brother and the others are awake …”
Xia Fei suddenly rushed out in surprise. Chen Guangda rushed in without saying a word. Seeing Fifth Brother and Su Tong leaning against the wall, sweat all over their bodies made them feel like they had just been pulled out of the water. Chen Guangda immediately asked excitedly, “How do you feel?”
“I’m so tired! It’s like I just finished running a hundred kilometers …”
Su Tong shook her head breathlessly. The tired Fifth Brother also nodded his head. However, Fu Yu directly ran over with two needles. He squatted down and said, “Don’t be happy too early. Only after the blood test can you determine whether the serum is successful or not. Both of you stretch out your arms!”
As he spoke! Fu Yu drew a large tube of blood for each of them and quickly ran back to the workbench to start the analysis. However, Chen Guangda looked at Zhu Fei who was standing beside him. Zhu Fei was expressionlessly leaning against the chair. He did not know what was on his mind, so he could only ask, “Fei Zi! How is Xiao Wei and the others?”
“Very good. They have built a gathering place around the mountain villa. There should already be more than 10,000 people. Even Bei Yang and the others have come from the mountain. They are very busy all day …”
Zhu Fei raised his head indifferently, his eyes did not change in the slightest. This made those familiar with him feel a little unfamiliar. Even Chen Quan frowned deeply and said, “Ah Fei!” “I can feel your feelings now and understand my brother’s suffering. However, we must resist the desire in our hearts. Otherwise, we will really be no different from living corpses!”
“Hmph ~ You can’t understand, because we’re completely different. You’re a mutant, I’m not …”
Zhu Fei shook his head in disdain. Chen Quan immediately looked at him in disbelief. He knew that the two of them were the best brothers in the past. Zhu Fei would never talk to him like this, but Zhu Fei directly stood up and said, “Since everyone is fine, I should take my leave now. Have a good trip!”
“Where are you going …”
Chen Guangda stood up in shock. Who would have thought that Zhu Fei would shrug his shoulders and say, “Of course we’re going to the northwest. The enemy has already invaded our nest, but our eyes are darkened. I don’t want to live this kind of life of being beaten up all day long. I want to find out what exactly Liu Hao is up to. If it’s convenient, I’ll directly kill him!”
“If you want to go, we’ll go together. How can I let you take a risk by yourself …”
Chen Guangda shouted anxiously, but Zhu Fei’s face suddenly changed. It actually turned into Liu Qianqian’s appearance. Chen Guangda immediately took a step back in shock, but Zhu Fei blinked and smiled, “Do you think I’m going to take a risk like this? Even if I touch Liu Hao’s bed, he wouldn’t know! Hahaha …”
Zhu Fei walked out of the laboratory with a loud laugh. The arrogant laughter left everyone dumbfounded. They simply couldn’t believe that this was the Zhu Fei they knew. He was completely like a stranger. However, before leaving the room, Zhu Fei turned around and said, “That’s right!” Gloomy Biao and the others will go to the northwest with me. I will definitely take good care of your old lover and ask her to leave the first time for you, haha ~ ”
“This … is this still Zhu Fei? Why did he become so terrifying …”
Wang Dafu looked at the door with a deathly pale face. Zhu Fei had already disappeared into the night. However, Fu Yu, who was behind him, suddenly shouted in surprise, “Success! My teacher’s serum has been successfully developed. Both of them have virus antibodies on them. Teacher! You can finally rest in peace!”
Fu Yu shouted like a madman. Very quickly, he knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his cheeks. However, Chen Guangda looked up and sighed, “Finally, he gave me a piece of good news. The heavens are not disappointing people. Ah Hao, you can rest in peace!”
