Chapter 733: Final Problem

Struggling to get up from the ground.

Lin An silently took a deep breath, looking at the Second Will.

These.

They are everything he has ever experienced.

So.

Only the Second Will would tell him that there was no need to unlock the gene lock.

"Why?"

"Why would the military conduct the follow-up experiments?"

"Why would they conduct supernatural tests..."

If it were the earlier tests, Lin An could barely find a reason.

But the follow-up tests clearly had a problem.

Before the Apocalypse broke out in the real world, how could the hypothetical enemy be these monsters?

Instantly.

Lin An then recalled what he and Chu An had discussed before.

He forcibly calmed his emotions, staring intently into the Second Will's eyes.

("You guessed correctly.")

Knowing what Lin An and Colonel Chu had discussed, and also knowing what Lin An wanted to ask.

The Second Will released its supporting arm:

("After my memory was restored, the first thing I did was escape the simulation pod.")

("At that time, I had only one thought: to kill everything I saw.")

("I will repay them for the suffering I endured!")

("I will go ask them why they conducted these tests.")

After a brief pause, the Second Will pointed at the paused laboratory screen, pointing at those few researchers.

("I broke their limbs and elicited something quite interesting.")

("Just as you suspected, the follow-up tests indeed encountered a problem.")

("In the initial Long'an Project, there were no tests involving supernatural forces.")

("Nor were there various extreme thought experiments.")

("For example, removing my eyes and senses, throwing me into absolute darkness to test whether humans would self-dissolve their thoughts.")

He turned around.

The Second Will also seemed somewhat puzzled, continuing:

("From that researcher, I learned that from the Emotion Test onward, the plan had changed.")

("The High Level gave them entirely new orders, as well as a plethora of unimaginable events.")

("Among them, there was even a scene simulating the aftermath of a zombie outbreak!")

Upon hearing this, he was shaken.

Lin An blurted out instinctively:

"The military had long known the Apocalypse would break out!?"

"All the follow-up tests were merely simulations of possible situations after the Apocalypse!?"

His back remained still; the Second Will hesitated a moment, then slightly shook its head:

("No.")

("I have accessed classified data and found some information.")

("The information did not mention an impending Apocalypse, but repeatedly referred to a man.")

("A man who emerged from behind the door.")

("It was he who, after appearing, single-handedly changed the essence of the Long'an Project, even gaining the trust of the High Level.")

("As you know, before the Apocalypse broke out, the capital unusually gathered all the heads of the Military Regions there.")

("That is clearly also his doing.")

Lin An, after listening, was puzzled; the information the Second Will spoke, isn't it exactly explaining that the capital knew the Apocalypse would break out?

Even if phrased differently, it was the person behind the door who informed the military high level.

Sensing Lin An's doubt, the Second Will shook its head:

("It's simple.")

("The military high level must be unaware of the true situation of the Apocalypse outbreak; at most they simply blindly believed and followed that person's words.")

("Otherwise, the Capital Military Region would not have been so embarrassed facing the Apocalypse outbreak.")

("They didn't even have time to build military facilities, let alone guard against the zombie virus.")

("Whatever that person said, the capital would do.")

The man who walked out from behind the door?

Hearing this, Lin An instinctively thought of the survivors.

"Isn't he similar to someone like Huang Shaohua!?"

"They survived the previous Apocalypse, but due to system limitations, they cannot reveal more accurate information."

"So..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The Second Will raised a hand to interrupt Lin An's words:

("Not.")

("First, the survivors and the apocalypse cycles, or whatever you discussed with Colonel Chu about the 【closed beta】 or such, are just your guesses.")

("I have none—among the information you've obtained this period, not a single item can prove these judgments are correct.")

("Did Huang Shaohua personally say that he was a survivor of the last apocalypse?")

("On what grounds can we say the equipment and props the military obtained before the apocalypse couldn't come from another world?")

("Do you even remember Klein's judgment of you inside the Amoeba Worm dungeon?")

("He believes you are planar investigators who specialize in resolving apocalypse incidents.")

("He paused for a moment.")

("He gave Lin An enough time to think.")

("Perhaps, the person behind the door is exactly this kind of existence.")

("Our world has never undergone an apocalypse cycle.")

("All of this was brought by the person behind the door.")

("Having said that, Second Will turned and stared fixedly at Lin An.")

("All right.")

("Now, do you know what my source of power is?")

("Do you know the source of your power's nature?")

("In a long silence.")

("Lin An watched the continually jumping memory images; that was himself cycling through hell in the past.")

("His voice was hoarse.")

("It is despair, it is unwillingness, it is anger...")

("It is also revenge.")

("You want to stay alive, you want to kill him, kill that person who came out from behind the door.")

("You killed everyone who personally created the Long'an Project, right?")

("He nodded.")

("Second Will cut off the memory images, his eyes filling with utter darkness:")

("That's right.")

("The one who came out from behind the door must be immensely powerful.")

("I must survive, I must make it to the end, and then kill them with my own hands!")

("Even if they are trying to save the apocalypse, I will kill them! Even if this world is destroyed!")

("Each cycle of desperate reincarnation, my suffering, is the source of my power...")

("He felt the same empathy.")

("Second Will is also himself.")

("Watching the closed memory fragments, Lin An slowly closed his eyes.")

("Revenge...")

("Like a struggle, he asked the final question:")

("How would I know?")

("The me now is not in a simulation experiment.")

("You are not them.")

("This is not a test of me.")

("Boundless trembling.")

("Watching the memory space gradually fade into darkness, Lin An silently clenched his fists, blood dripping.")

("Dead silence, soundless.")
