Chapter 569: Pollution Value

That, the final trait is now confirmed!

Evil god? Get lost, where did this roadside thing come from! Not interested!

Zhang Jie's fingers moved quickly, and finally he made an unprecedented selection of seven traits for simulation.

They are the race "Superhuman", and the simulation traits "Legendary Investigator", "Unwavering Will", "Gene Stability", "Obsession Undying", "Aberrant Reverse-goer", "Lonely Soul Trapped in the Time Rift".

It can be called the most luxurious and wealthiest in history.

"Traits have been confirmed; next, we are drawing random traits from your previous simulation."

"Draw successful! You have drawn the limited achievement (SSS) from your previous simulation: 'Ascended Gu King'."

This trait has been automatically adapted for you to be usable in the current simulation world: (S) "Gu King?": As everyone knows, under high-pressure environments, strange things can easily be born, whether it's the high pressure of natural disasters or of humanity, a "Gu King" will be born; coincidentally, you are one of them (after all, who doesn't know how to raise Gu?).

"In the simulator, you will lose all your memories and start a new life; if you have considered everything, please choose to start."

"May I ask if you want to start the simulation?"

"Mm-hmm, not bad, come on!"

"But you have to promise me that no matter what happens when you come out, you'll automatically send me several rounds of psychological counseling."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"The eighteenth simulation has begun, code: ■ and ■"

"?"

"Wait! How did this code disappear! Not redeemed!!!"

Unfortunately, the simulation has already begun; the familiar feeling surges like a tide, memories are being lost—Lin Ran, Weiniya, Yu Xiaomo—each familiar thing gradually fades away....

Zhang Jie had never felt such heaviness, never felt such regret, nor had he ever felt such discomfort.

This simulation.... is probably another big event....

"0 years old: In this dangerous world, you were born, without that strange birthing method—not in a toilet, not in the sky, not on an assembly line, but in a warm swaddling cloth."

"Your parents looked at you lovingly, at this hopeful seed of theirs; whether due to some mysterious power or mere coincidence, they kindly gave you the name: Zhang Jie."

"Living plainly is happiness; you have loving parents, an older brother, an older sister—all happy and healthy."

"Having both parents and siblings, such a family in this incredibly dangerous and bizarre world is almost equivalent to a miracle."

"This world has too many tragedies; everyone carries an unhealable scar in their heart, but you are different—you will grow up in an environment filled with warmth and love."

The sky over the bustling city seems to have surges of thick black substance; though bizarre, it carries a hint of the mundane, but if you look closely, you can only see drifting dark clouds.

Beneath the black sky dome, the hospital glimmers with bright lights; a family waits nervously outside a ward, the surroundings so quiet you could hear a pin drop, everyone staring fixedly at the door ahead.

The doctor pushed the door open, and several people hurried forward to greet him.

"How is it!"

"....."

"A miracle..."

"Your son, his infection rate is..... 0%."

"Completely uninfected..."

The surroundings again became so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the leading young man furrowed his brow—this is good news, and also bad news.

In this era, everyone's body contains some infection; the most is no more than 20%, the least is not less than 3%.

A 0% infection rate can be called a miracle, unparalleled in the world—this is certainly good.

But... the youth knows how terrible this era is; humanity will not let any hope in this world go to waste, a 0% infection rate means it's very likely his son will die.

After all, sacrificing one to save countless is itself a cold logical number.

"I...."

"Don't worry, you are a hero who explores the anomalous zone; the state would not do this."

"We only need.... some blood."

After a moment, the youth finally weighed it and nodded; of course, he knew this was already the best outcome.

The heavy atmosphere suddenly relaxed; the boy and girl who had been awaiting their brother's birth finally broke into smiles, clamoring to see their brother.

"Go on, go on, be careful, don't hurt him."

"Okay!"

The two little ones happily ran inside, while the two men outside automatically slipped into a chatting mode.

"Alright, just relax—this year alone, over a dozen zero-infection cases have appeared; it's not really a miracle, you just didn't know."

"??? I thought...."

The doctor joked with the youth; it seems their relationship is pretty good.

"This world... is gradually getting better, you know."

"What do I know? Getting better? Don't joke."

"Then you still want to have a child?"

Zhang Jie's dad:......

"Isn't that just love at its deepest? After all, you've come all this way...."

"Don't beat around the bush, speak the truth!"

"Alright, I hope to pass on my abilities."

"If I die someday, I don't want, nor can I allow, my abilities to be lost."

"Moreover...."

Zhang Jie's dad turned his gaze toward another ward; inside is the person he loves most.

"I'm leaving; what about my wife? Having two kids is insurance, insurance."

"You are also a divine person...."

"Your first tribulation in life just passed like that, with a scare but no danger; your older brothers and sisters pinched your cheeks, they seem to really like you."

"A day passed just like that, deep into the night....."

"Darkness suddenly shrouded..."

In the pitch-black ward, Zhang Jie's tiny body lay in the cradle, and the already pitch-black ward was suddenly shrouded in extreme darkness.

A sound like something tearing in the air rang out, and then a figure abruptly appeared here.

A rough hand slowly stretched out toward Zhang Jie, then....

He lightly touched Zhang Jie's face with his uneven hand.

The darkness in the ward had somehow dissipated; by the night light, a weathered, aged face covered in scars appeared under the moonlight.

"Heh...."

"Who!!!"

The woman on the neighboring bed suddenly shouted, that figure didn't pause at all, vanishing as if out of thin air, leaving no trace.....

"....."

"How strange, there's also no 'pollution'; could it be my illusion?"
