Chapter 1590: Weapons

Weapons

Hearing these words, Yang Xiao was completely stunned.

Completely... random??

"Impossible... How could it be completely random?"

Yang Xiao subconsciously denied it, and then directly stabbed the hovering steel rebar into Dr. Wayne's other shoulder. Scarlet blood directly dyed the entire coat blood-red.

While screaming from the severe pain, Dr. Wayne said:

"The detailed data of that batch of nuclear weapons, as well as all the alternate world data we collected from our experiments, are placed in the underground Safe House... If you don't believe me, go see for yourself."

Yang Xiao was not good at interrogation. Aside from stabbing others a few times with steel rebars, he had no better method of forcing answers. He simply gave up on Dr. Wayne, directly pierced through the ground, and rapidly sank towards the underground of the laboratory.

Only when Yang Xiao's figure disappeared did the terrified researchers at the side dare to run forward and frantically pull out the two steel rebars for Dr. Wayne.

"Him entering the Safe House might not necessarily trigger those interception systems... Only by manually turning on the self-destruct button can that place be destroyed."

Dr. Wayne looked down at the hole Yang Xiao had pierced through, a glimmer of longing and excitement flashing in his eyes. In front of such an almost invincible biological weapon, Dr. Wayne's curiosity towards Yang Xiao even exceeded his fear of death...

He wanted to kill Yang Xiao, and then dissect him and research him with his own hands...

As long as he could obtain even a little bit of results, he would exclusively possess an unknown number of world-class scientific awards. He might even create a new era!

Under Dr. Wayne's command, the two researchers immediately supported him, crossed the ground full of corpses and ruins, and approached a certain direction.

...

The layers of encryption leading to the Safe House were completely just for show to Yang Xiao.

One heavy gate after another opened, and Yang Xiao's figure rapidly shuttled through them. He perfectly shielded all identity recognition systems and, with the posture of having the highest authorization, entered the Safe House storing the highest military weapon secrets.

Yang Xiao searched the system for information related to nuclear weapons and alternate world research, and quickly located the specific placement of the files. In addition to some calculation and summary manuscripts, there were also quite a few soil and biological samples collected back from the Gray World... among which naturally included the body organs of some weak Calamities.

Yang Xiao simultaneously read the electronic files and manuscripts in the system, trying to find information related to the "waveband"...

He would rather Wayne had fabricated the concept of completely random just to trick him into coming down and finding a chance to escape... Because only this way would his trip here be meaningful, and only then would Chen Ling and the others in the Gray World have a possibility of coming home.

But he found out he was wrong...

Yang Xiao flipped through all the files and indeed found some descriptions regarding the "waveband", but the final experimental result was that that world seemed unstable. All its values were constantly changing, and the waveband was the same... Therefore, it was completely impossible to locate an accurate spot in the Gray World through this method.

Why... why is it like this?

Yang Xiao suddenly remembered Chen Ling saying that the Gray World and Earth were currently gradually drawing closer and overlapping with each other... Could it be because of this point that it couldn't be located? After all, the Gray World itself was constantly moving.

But if this was really the case...

What about Chen Ling and the others?

Just as Yang Xiao was bewildered, a deep rumbling suddenly sounded from beneath his feet, as if gears and levers were churning within. Immediately after, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly submerged Yang Xiao's figure!

Boom——!!!!

Without any transmission from electronic devices, this Safe House storing the highest research secrets actually used the most primitive mechanical transmission self-destruct device... And under the instantaneous detonation of high-yield Explosives, all the materials in this Safe House also directly turned to ash!

Intense firelight soared into the sky, and the churning thick smoke rose to form a mushroom cloud. Under the violent shockwave, the already mostly shattered Research Institute directly collapsed into a pile of ruins.

"Dr. Wayne... is he, is he dead?" A white female scientist stood in the distance and asked cautiously.

"I don't know, but it's best if we don't go forward. In a little while, cross-continental military support will arrive." Both of Wayne's shoulders had already been wrapped in gauze. He looked at the direction the black smoke rose, his gaze somewhat passionate.

The white female scientist at the side was just about to say something else,

In the next second,

A sharp piece of metal debris directly flashed out from the black smoke, accurately piercing into Dr. Wayne's throat!

Dr. Wayne's pupils abruptly contracted. He seemed to have not yet reacted to what happened. He touched his neck with both hands, and scarlet blood covered his palms. He opened his mouth, but only the gurgling sound of fresh blood surged in his throat...

Immediately after, the second piece, the third piece... Countless pieces of metal debris were like an angry rainstorm, crazily harvesting the lives of these surviving researchers. They screamed in terror, turning around and wanting to flee again, but were directly smashed into meat paste by steel gates crashing down from the sky!

A resplendent aurora parted the thick smoke, and a slightly disheveled white-clothed figure staggered out from within...

Yang Xiao's eyes were full of bloodshot veins. The current him was no longer the past him. Taking an explosion head-on was not a difficult matter for him, but what truly angered him was Chen Ling and the others who could never return from the Gray World, as well as his useless self!

He... failed.

Woo woo——

A wind mixed with the smell of blood and a pungent odor spiraled between the dead silent ruins.

The raging fire was still burning, scorching the corpses covering the ground black. Yang Xiao staggered step by step across these corpses he had killed with his own hands. His body was trembling slightly...

After an unknown amount of time, he still silently closed his eyes and dialed a phone number.

"...Hello?"

"Yang Xiao, how are things on your side?" Lu Xun's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone. "Did you get the waveband to activate the Extra-dimensional Wake?"

"..."

Yang Xiao opened his mouth, and only after a moment did he reply hoarsely:

"...No."

Lu Xun's voice was incomparably solemn. "What happened?"

"There simply are no records regarding the alternate world waveband on the Research Institute's side... The Gray World is moving, all data is changing, and the portals opened by the Extra-dimensional Wake are also completely random..." Yang Xiao paused for a moment.

"We... might not be able to open the door for Director Chen."

As his voice fell, there was a brief pause on Lu Xun's end...

"It's fine, you've already tried your best." Lu Xun's voice turned gentle. "Come back first, we'll think of a way together... Director Chen is so capable, maybe there's some other way he can come back?"

"...Alright."

Yang Xiao didn't know how to respond, and ultimately he still nodded.

"Mm, then see you in Wushan." Lu Xun was just about to hang up the phone when Yang Xiao's voice suddenly sounded:

"Wait."

Lu Xun's hand that was about to press hang up paused midair... He seemed to have guessed something, and a trace of complexity was revealed in his gaze.

After an unknown amount of time,

Yang Xiao's hoarse voice sounded from the phone:

"Old Lu, tell me..."

"This matter... did they... know?"
