Chapter 1518: Why Don't You Go?

"I am an important scientific researcher; my life is more important than all of yours. I certainly cannot go, because I make a greater contribution to society," Zhang Ke said angrily. "So even if someone has to go, it should be the weakest person."

"Heh, your life is important? So you want a young girl to die in your place? I've seen shameless people, but this is the first time I've seen someone as shameless as you," a team member said furiously. "We are at a life-or-death juncture now; everyone's life is the same."

"It is not the same. We must preserve these lives to continue our research. She isn't going, you are. You are security personnel; the meaning of your existence is to protect us, so it must be you," Zhang Ke was insane now, roaring hysterically at him.

"Zhang Ke, shut up," Professor Huang said angrily. "Stop arguing, I will go restart the system."

"I am the oldest; I have lived longer than all of you. You are all still young and should enjoy life properly."

As Professor Huang spoke, he threw off his white lab coat and prepared to leave. Everyone was startled and hurriedly blocked Professor Huang.

"Professor Huang, how can we let you go? If anyone goes, it should be me."

"That's right, the research still depends on you."

"Professor Huang, don't go over there. Let me go; I am young and walk fast. It is more meaningful for me to go," Xiaoli also stood up, grabbed Professor Huang, and cried.

"Stop talking about what is meaningful and what is not. Everyone's life is the same. If you insist on talking about the meaning of life, you are young; you need to live more than I do," Professor Huang said angrily. "From now on, no one is allowed to mention who is important and who is not, understand?"

"Then what do we do? Are we all just waiting here to die? Professor Huang, tell us what to do," Zhang Ke was almost insane. "I don't want to die; I don't want to just wait here."

"Zhang Ke, if you really don't want to wait here to die, then you go restart the system. I guarantee I will save an Escape Pod for you," Professor Huang said angrily.

"I'm not going. That monster is too terrifying; I will die if I go out there," Zhang Ke was stunned, shaking his head like a rattle-drum.

Just kidding, he wasn't a fool. That place was in the Main Control Room; thinking about it, one had to walk a very long way to get there.

The few colleagues who went over just now were nowhere to be seen; they had likely been eaten by the monster long ago. Why would he go over there now?

Let him sacrifice himself to fulfill those people? Heh, he wasn't that noble. Those things were for saints to do; he wasn't a saint, and he certainly wouldn't do it.

"Is your life a life, but other people's lives are not?" Professor Huang said coldly. "If you dare to make anyone else take risks, I will throw you out. A person like you is not fit to remain in the team."

"I..." Zhang Ke didn't dare to speak. He saw that Professor Huang was already furious; if he spoke again, he would likely really be thrown out. Helplessly, he shrank his neck and remained silent on the side.

Just at this moment, a loud 'Boom—' sounded, as if some defense had been forcibly broken through. Everyone was startled, revealing a look of terror.

"Professor Huang, the people who are here to save us have arrived." The terrified researcher rushed in with Chen Yu and the others.

"That's great, the higher-ups finally sent people," Professor Huang was overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet them.

"Professor Huang, I am Su Yan from the Special Action Group. I have been ordered to come and take you back," Su Yan stepped forward and said.

"This is truly great. Miss Su, there is no time to lose, let's leave," Professor Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Su Yan and the others.

"What are you people good for?" Once Zhang Ke saw that people had arrived, besides his terror, he was also full of anger. "Do you know how hard it has been for us here? Do you know how many of our people have died?"

"We feed you people, and you're all trash."

Chen Yu stared coldly at Zhang Ke: "Say that again if you dare."

"I said you are all trash," Zhang Ke roared arrogantly. "What can you do if I say it again?"

Chen Yu waved his right hand, formed a Sword Finger, and pointed forward. A streak of Sword Qi formed and slashed horizontally toward one of Zhang Ke's arms.

"Ah..." Zhang Ke let out a miserable shriek, then looked down at his arm in disbelief.

His arm was seen severed at the root; his entire left arm had vanished.

Immediately following was a hysterical scream from his mouth. He could never have imagined that Chen Yu would be so ruthless. He had only cursed a few times, and Chen Yu had struck directly?

"Mr. Chen, you mustn't," Su Yan was shocked and hurriedly stopped Chen Yu.

"Ah, a murderer, he is a murderer, ah..." Zhang Ke shrieked, staring angrily at Chen Yu, inciting the people around him: "Don't let him run, don't..."

"What are you doing? He was just saying some angry words," Professor Huang stomped his feet in anxiety. "There was no need to take action and hurt him like this."

"Cursing me a few times is fine; I'm not such a petty person," Chen Yu said indifferently. "But this person has already been corrupted."

"Corrupted? Mr. Chen, do you mean he has been controlled?" Su Yan was shocked; she couldn't help but look at Zhang Ke.

A strange look appeared on Zhang Ke's face, and he roared: "You are spouting nonsense! I am perfectly normal, how could I be corrupted?"

"Is that so?" Chen Yu suddenly grabbed a short blade from a team member's hand and slashed horizontally into the void.

*Pfft*, fresh blood splattered everywhere. Chen Yu had held back with this strike, but half of Zhang Ke's stomach was still sliced clean off.

Now his neck was only connected by a bit of skin and tendon; he revealed a look of horror.

The female assistant on the side screamed in terror, and everyone shrank back, looking at Chen Yu in fear.

"Chen Yu, what exactly are you doing?" Su Yan was shocked. Even if this person was corrupted, Chen Yu couldn't use this method to prove it.

"Watch closely now, and see what kind of existence this person really is," Chen Yu stared coldly at Zhang Ke and sneered.

However, Zhang Ke, whose neck had been almost completely severed, did not fall down and die. His body just tilted slightly, and then he stood straight.

Amidst the terrified expressions of the crowd, he twisted his body, his head—which was almost falling off—tilted, staring fixedly at Chen Yu with a look of anger.

"Keep pretending, go on," Chen Yu sneered. "If I slash one more time, you will never be able to come back to life."

Zhang Ke said nothing. He supported his head with both hands and twisted it with force, resetting his head.

Black Qi was seen rising from his injured area; a moment later, his head had actually grown back onto his stomach, completely unscathed.

The arm that Chen Yu had cut off also slowly stretched and extended, and in the end, it actually grew back directly.
