Chapter 1268

~4 min read 731 words

Xu Yue looked at her parents, who had become strangers, in disbelief. She knew her brother was weak, but everyone believed he was born that way; after all, no one would have imagined that his parents were the ones behind it all.

"You... how can you still call yourselves parents!" Xu Yue couldn't hold back and shouted at them.

This was the first time since she had known Xu Yue that she had lost her composure so badly.

Ning Chen looked at Xu Ri, who was still kneeling on the ground, clutching his head in pain, and reached out his hand.

Golden light surrounded Xu Ri, pressing back the black energy gradually emanating from his body, and also stabilized his chaotic qi.

Feeling much more comfortable, Xu Ri stood up, exhaled, and stared fiercely at the tuning fork in Xu Father's hand.

It was obvious that the tuning fork had played an indelible role in his condition just now.

Xu Father seemed not to expect anyone to help Xu Ri; he frowned and plucked the tuning fork again.

This time, however, when the sound waves of the tuning fork reached Xu Ri, they could not enter his body at all, as if blocked by some mysterious power.

Xiao Han's hand emitted green light, which gradually surrounded Xu Ri as well.

"Who exactly are the two of you?!" Xu Father was shocked, looking at Ning Chen and Xiao Han, his previously calm gaze now filled with astonishment.

Xu Mother also stared fiercely at the two of them: "Who exactly are you?"

Neither Ning Chen nor Xiao Han replied; they had no need to.

Everyone suddenly fell into an eerie silence, both sides eyeing each other with caution.

"Regardless, if we want to save this world, we must conduct experiments. I think you already know the antidote no longer works. If we cannot develop a new antidote, this world will be destroyed." Xu Mother quickly calmed down, looked at the group, and tried to persuade them with words.

Xu Ri would not fall for her act. He looked at the woman before him, familiar yet strange. This person was no longer his mother; his mother had died in the infected virus that year. "If you truly cared so much about the people of this world, why did you turn this world into hell in the first place?!"

"But if our experiments succeed, human lifespan and abilities will increase by hundreds of times. Isn't that good?" Xu Father spoke excitedly, his eyes full of fanaticism, as if this was something that absolutely had to be done.

Xu Yue was now completely disillusioned with the words "parents." He never imagined that the ones he missed and grieved for would turn out to be such people.

"Brother Ning, what should we do?" Now that Xu Ri had no intention of communicating with these stubborn people, he looked directly at Ning Chen, wanting him to make the decision.

To be honest, the idea of an antidote was nonsense to begin with. What needed to be done now was actually very simple: kill all the infected, then lead the surviving humans to build a new home.

This idea received unanimous support from everyone, but Xu Mother laughed.

"Hahahaha, you are thinking too optimistically. Do you really think you can kill all those monsters? Let me tell you, this world was already broken to begin with; we just accelerated the process. Those who have become infected now, the high-level infected, were all our former test subjects. Although they were not perfect, they possessed powerful abilities and consciousness. Moreover, they had one more thing: ambition."

Just as Xu Mother finished speaking, a violent Ding Xiangdong suddenly erupted around them. Then the entire building began to shake, and cracks gradually appeared at the base of the surrounding walls.

"Not good, this place is about to collapse! Let's run!" Huo Jinglin spoke quickly.

Everyone immediately turned around and ran outside.

The white-coated figures inside also frantically tried to escape.

It could only be said that fortunately, Ning Chen and the others ran fast and got out first; otherwise, they would have been squeezed out along with those white-coated figures.

Looking at the two white-coated figures with panicked expressions, Kazai Sect, Ning Chen did not care at all whether they could get out, or whether they would simply get stuck and die there.
