Chapter 783: The End of the World (Part 1)
The man's eyes instantly turned bright red, and he roared, "You... you killed Giss!"
"Giss?" Hearing this name, Wang Bing and Ji Liuli looked at each other, actually leaning toward each other, facing the man side by side.
The man's eyes seemed to be spraying fire, and he let out a beast-like howl. Countless figures appeared around him instantly, all of them people with different temperaments, each person's spiritual light shining dazzlingly.
Wang Bing said, "Wells, you didn't tell me that the leader of the Super-Power Alliance is Giss, your own younger brother."
Wei Yuan didn't expect that the man before him was the legendary Wells who laid the foundation of the company, but his current state seemed a bit wrong; he was too impulsive and too easy to get angry, and generally, people who could make great achievements in research were often very calm.
Based on the principle of not putting himself in danger, Wei Yuan took a few steps back and stood behind Ji Liuli without changing his expression.
Ji Liuli slowly pulled the bolt, chambering a purple bullet with a "ka" sound, and then said, "The Super-Power Alliance was founded by your brother, which means, their Human Cleaning Plan was actually formulated by you?"
Wells said, "That's right, that was my plan from the beginning. I loaded the brand-new aggregate life form onto the influenza virus. As long as it spreads, it will soon sweep the world. At that time, people will find that any fever is enough to be fatal, and the number of people who die from the flu this time will be a hundred times, a thousand times that of the great flu back then. 99% of the entire world will be eliminated."
Wang Bing said, "Are you crazy? Wanting to spread the aggregate life form? This is different from our plan!"
Wei Yuan pricked up his ears.
At this time, Ji Liuli said, "The initial plan indeed had some changes."
Wang Bing's face was gloomy, saying, "What kind of changes? As a partner, how come I don't know, did you participate too? Are you two joining forces to lie to me?"
Ji Liuli said, "It was just a limited change, which I proposed. Our original plan was to spread a weakened version of the aggregate virus, thereby causing panic and hitting our competitors. When the pandemic comes, we will launch a special medicine to push up the company's stock price and directly merge the competitors.
But I made a special request to spread the real aggregate virus in a specific country, and then control the spread in surrounding countries through the special medicine."
After awakening, Wei Yuan's biochemical knowledge was already extraordinary, knowing that this so-called special medicine actually activated the pre-set kill information in the aggregate virus genes, interrupting their replication. But the problem was that there was no kill fragment in the current aggregate virus.
Ji Liuli looked at Wells and said, "I just wanted to clean up a small part of disgusting people, but you wanted to clean up the entire human race? You are indeed crazy."
Wells's voice was low, "I'm not crazy; the ones who are crazy are those whose desires are endless, those old guys on the board of directors! They have lived to be one hundred and thirty years old and are still not satisfied, still wanting to regain their youth and wanting to live forever!
Just for replacing their decaying body cells, the surgery cost for each person every year is billions. This is indeed not worth mentioning for the company's annual profit of hundreds of billions. But the problem is, they don't want to die, and they don't want to leave their positions—twenty years, thirty years, one hundred years, they want to stay in their seats forever, but they no longer make any contribution.
The value is all created by us, but the positions above will never be vacated. Those old guys are actually so weak that you could just find anyone, give them a gun, and you could kill them all! Their indestructible security, as long as you cut off their salary for one month, will fall apart. So, why should we let such a group of clowns stand on our heads?"
Ji Liuli said, "Then just kill them, wouldn't that be it?"
Wells shook his head, "That doesn't solve the fundamental problem; we can only fill three positions, and other positions will still be replaced by some people as stupid as pigs. Maybe it's their sons, relatives. But the ones who are truly qualified to sit in these positions should only be us truly powerful super-powered individuals, perhaps plus this little guy. I hate him, but I have to admit, he and we are the same kind.
Yes, the same kind. We possess the power to change the world; we can sweep a legion alone! We are fundamentally not the same species as ordinary people anymore, so why should we accommodate them, why should we follow their rules?! Why should we limit our rights to the same level as theirs? Morality, law, can such ridiculous things constrain us?
It's not those old guys who are wrong, but this system, this world.
The world has never been won by those who arrive first, but belongs to those who laugh last!" Wells looked at Wei Yuan and said, "New little guy, you are very powerful, and you don't soften your hand at all when killing; you are a born powerhouse. Are you willing to be constrained by these weaklings like insects and live like them?"
Wei Yuan thought about it seriously and shook his head.
Wang Bing suddenly said, "What you said indeed has some truth, but this is not a reason to kill ten billion ordinary people! Super-powered individuals have just been manufactured, and we only know a little about those mysterious gene fragments. The vast majority of super-powered individuals cannot pass them on to their descendants, and the next generation will still be ordinary people. Even if there is a need to do so, it is too early now. If we do as you say, we will perish ourselves."
Wells showed hesitation for the first time, saying, "My research will break through soon."
"Soon? How soon is that?" Wang Bing pursued.
Wei Yuan also knew that in the field of gene and biological engineering, sometimes a small progress, if you really want to break through, might take decades, or even longer.
"Soon, I will be able to make a breakthrough soon, just one month, no, one year, no, fifteen days..." Wells's eyes suddenly began to scatter, and his speech became incoherent.
Just at this time, a beam of heavenly light suddenly shot down from above, illuminating the area around Wells. In the heavenly light, a boy was walking happily with a huge backpack on his back. The road was clean and flat, and the flower beds on both sides were full of gorgeous flowers, everything revealing a fake enthusiasm and cheap, neat prosperity.
Seeing this boy, Wells suddenly showed an expression of extreme fear and shouted, "I will be faster, one week, no no, I will break through tomorrow! Otherwise, otherwise it will be too late..."
He retreated backward, subconsciously wanting to stay away from the little boy. But he only took one step back and collapsed to the ground, his body gradually losing its human form. Only then did the three discover that he was stepping on a piece of flesh under his feet and had become one with the huge life form covering the entire main brain through the flesh. At this time, Wells had long since become a part of that life form.
Ji Liuli and Wang Bing's faces were a bit ugly; they hadn't discovered that Wells had actually been swallowed and turned into a puppet. If they had approached rashly just now, they might have been sneak-attacked and seriously injured.
Fortunately, Wei Yuan had been prepared, and Giss was pinched to death as soon as he popped up, thoroughly enraging Wells and alerting the two.
The heavenly light still shone, and the boy walked into a courtyard by the roadside. This was a very common two-story residence. The boy unloaded the backpack with some difficulty, took out a bag of bread from it, and walked toward the bedroom on the first floor.
On the bed lay an old man, fat and bloated, looking at the ceiling with dull eyes, muttering something in his mouth. Seeing the boy come in, his eyes only stared at the bread in his hand, and he snatched it over.
The bread bag broke, and the bread scattered all over the floor, but the old man didn't care at all, constantly stuffing the bread into his mouth, as if he hadn't eaten anything for a long time.
The boy looked at all this, and a bizarre smile suddenly appeared on his lips, saying, "Eat, if you don't eat it, it will be too late."
One of his eyes suddenly moved to the side of his face, stared at Wei Yuan, and said with a drifting voice, "If you can kill that big guy who occupied the server, I'll tell you the truth of this world!"
Wei Yuan ignited a point of cyan-gold lamp flame on his fingertips and said calmly, "Everything about that thing is predestined with me, what is difficult about this?"
He flicked a point of lamp flame, and instantly the cyan-gold flame filled the entire space, not only covering the huge monster in the center, but even the tiny particles in the air began to burn.
