Chapter 204: Apocalypse: Saving the Cold Beauty Doctor 22

After Yu Rongzhou re-entered the laboratory, he only returned to the villa at ten o'clock that night.

Today, all of his research was under surveillance; even if Jiang Junshen personally watched him all day, they still couldn't find any mistake.

Jiang Luo finally came to trust him completely.

"Yu Ge, you're finally back!"

Seeing him return to the living room, Zhao Rui exclaimed teasingly, "If you were any later, the Jin Team would probably have to go to the lab themselves to snatch you."

"……Hmm."

Yu Rongzhou spoke softly, but his steps toward the stairs were much quicker.

As he walked, he recalled last night's conversation, inevitably drifting off, so much so that he didn't even notice when he reached his room.

Jin Chen had originally been lying on the sofa, looking at the documents he had recorded; hearing the movement, he lifted his head from behind the papers and silently raised an eyebrow.

He got up and walked to the door, crossing his arms, putting on a stern expression.

"Yo, Xiao Yu Zhou, you still know how to come back."

Yu Rongzhou's steps paused; he lifted his head, slightly lowering his eyelids, and explained, "Today Jiang Junshen personally came to monitor me, so for now I don't want to draw their attention."

Jin Chen clearly saw the weariness in his eyes, quickly reached out and embraced him, gently stroking his back.

"Let me hug you quickly, we've worn poor Zhou Zhou out."

He relaxed his body, leaned into Jin Chen's embrace, closed his eyes in relief, and the nerves that had been taut all day completely loosened.

Jin Chen lowered his gaze, looking at the exposed nape of Yu Rongzhou's neck.

He wasn't mistaken; that faint letter was exactly the same as the one on the zombie's body.

It seems my wife is hiding even more secrets from me; I'm unhappy.

Jin Chen pursed his lips, held Yu Rongzhou, and walked into the room, the two leaning against each other on the sofa.

His hand gently and slowly rubbed the patch of skin on Yu Rongzhou's neck, "Zhou Zhou, besides the vial of blood you said you needed, I found something else in the ward of the affiliated research lab today."

With his other hand, he picked up the record photo on the coffee table and opened those few lines of text description.

Yu Rongzhou glanced at it and wasn't particularly surprised.

He had Jin Chen help draw his blood; in fact, he had long been prepared to come clean.

Since they had already confirmed their relationship, Yu Rongzhou didn't want to hide those dark past events from him, no matter how terrible they were.

"Jiang Junshen's mother is the S03 experimental subject, whom Jiang Luo took away to use as a gestational carrier and... a toxic mother."

Yu Rongzhou leaned into Jin Chen's embrace, his gaze deep and distant as he looked out the window at the darkness, his tone flat.

"Toxic mother?"

Jin Chen's heart jolted, and thinking that the experimental subject research predated the apocalypse, he wondered, "Was the zombie virus created by Jiang Luo?"

But this small world isn't just man-made disaster; the wasteland and heavenly calamities are just as prevalent, not seeming to be human-caused.

"No, the toxic mother's research aimed to extract mutated cells so people could gain abilities beyond ordinary humans; it just happened to coincide with the apocalypse."

Yu Rongzhou chuckled, full of sarcasm, "Jiang Luo's lifelong research results were destroyed in an instant by the apocalypse; the so-called super-first ability user he produced can't even compare to humans mutated by the apocalypse."

"However, without him, today's zombies might not have mutated."

Yu Rongzhou pressed his palm against his chest, exerting force secretly.

Jin Chen lowered his head, gently kissed his cheek in a soothing manner, not rushing him, waiting for Yu Rongzhou to speak slowly himself.

"I am the S07 experimental subject; my unique ability is that my cell regeneration function is far stronger than that of ordinary people."

As if to prove that, he condensed an ice blade in his palm and cut his left arm.

Visibly, the blood that initially flowed from the cut was only a trickle, and the skin healed itself gradually.

Even so, Jin Chen hissed in sympathy, feeling heartbroken; he grabbed a tissue to wipe the blood clean and tapped Yu Rongzhou's head.

"You don't need to cut such a long strip to prove it."

Yu Rongzhou narrowed his eyes, shook his head to indicate he wasn't in pain, and continued explaining.

"I stayed in the lab for… ten years; back then I was injected with various drugs and synthetic cells all day, my mind was foggy, and my appearance was completely different from now."

"Later, someone took me away; he taught me a lot of knowledge about biopharmaceutics and removed the crystal implanted in my body."

Hearing this, Jin Chen slightly frowned; it already didn't match the original plot.

"Who is that person?"

"The S01 first-generation experimental subject, the true Yu Rongzhou."

"Who?"

Jin Chen widened his eyes, lowered his head to meet his gaze, brows deeply furrowed.

"What do you mean by... the true Yu Rongzhou? Then what about you?"

"I don't know; my memory starts from the experimental ward, being brought to modern society by 01, and I also spent a long time unable to integrate."

Yu Rongzhou lowered his eyes, leaned into Jin Chen's embrace, therefore he has no connection to this society, and cares even less whether it exists.

"He was the first-generation experimental subject; his bodily damage was severe, he died within a few years, and before dying he specifically instructed me to continue living under his name."

He suddenly touched his own face; the incomprehension in his pupils reappeared after several years, and his tone slowed considerably.

"But I can't understand how, after his death, I gradually became like him."

"I don't remember what I used to look like before."

"【Ahhhh what a horror story!】"

0731 got goosebumps all over from hearing it, and howled in the space.

Jin Chen remained silent, his tightly furrowed brows not loosening for a long time.

He now leans more toward a certain possibility.

The S01 experimental subject is the Yu Rongzhou originating from the source of this world.

But when soul fragments enter the three thousand worlds, in order to merge with the origin world, the heavenly dao principles would default to Chenshu being a person of this small world; how could this situation arise?

Moreover, according to his description, the origin of this world, Yu Rongzhou, knows everything?

"Are you afraid?"

Yu Rongzhou reached out and touched Jin Chen's face, his dark pupils trembling slightly as he waited for his answer.

He had kept this matter deeply buried for many, many years.

Even though his thinking was unique, he knew this was a shocking, world‑shaking matter, and of course he had no chance to tell anyone else.

This was the first time he laid bare his entire past for Jin Chen to see.

"I'm not afraid."

Jin Chen sighed, took his hand, tilted his head and lightly kissed him, saying, "I'm just thinking about how hard your past must have been."

"Furthermore, if such supernatural things can happen in the apocalypse, what's more, it's just an S01 test subject."

Yu Rongzhou's lips curved up, his smile gentle.

He knew he wouldn't be mistaken, because this person was Jin Chen, worthy of trust, worthy of his complete devotion.

"No matter how bitter it was, it's all in the past; now it's time for me to settle the score."

He leaned back into his embrace, his cheek pressed tightly against Jin Chen's neck, whispering softly.

"The base's water source is a defensive weakness; soon, at most two weeks left, everything will end."

The base has only two water sources; compared to various medicines, Jiang Luo obviously didn't put much thought into this place, yet the water source is indispensable to every household and even all high‑level officials.

Yu Rongzhou still held the thought of destroying everything.
