"My grandfather dedicated his entire life to research for the country, but in the end he was framed by an ungrateful person like you. If it weren't for you, my grandfather would have developed the zombie virus long ago, and the apocalypse wouldn't have happened."

948: "Host, in fact, without Xu Yi, Professor Xie would not have been able to develop the antidote so quickly. The reason why a serum was developed so quickly in this life was because Xu Yi framed him, which stimulated Professor Xie's potential. So whether Xu Yi exists or not, the apocalypse will break out."

"Can't you see I'm making Xu Yi hate me? He wants to die, I'll help him!"

948: “…”

The people who didn't know what Xie Qi had said to the system were extremely shocked after hearing what Xie Qi said. They could never have imagined that the truth of the matter would be so cruel.

If Xu Yi hadn't existed, would they have avoided the sufferings of the apocalypse? Would they have avoided the heartache of losing their loved ones?

At this moment, a clear reminder sound suddenly rang out [Ding, the rescue mission is 50% complete]

As everyone's beautiful fantasy about Xu Yi was completely shattered, the originally strong aura around Xu Yi also began to gradually dissipate.

It was not until this moment that Xie Qi turned his gaze back to Wu Lingzhou and continued to answer the question he had asked before.

"I know you may think my current behavior is a little crazy, but only by doing this can I save more innocent people and end the apocalypse."

"And this is not only my personal idea, but also my grandfather's last wish before he died. So, this time I came here, I am ready to die." His voice was firm and steady, as if he had already put life and death aside.

Wu Lingzhou stared at Xie Qi quietly, his mind churning. He could sense the sincerity and determination in his words. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, don't worry. Your wish is the wish of all of us."

After Xie Qi finished explaining all this, the people around him all looked at him with admiration. No one tried to stop him from entering the base, and everyone even respected Xie Qi's heroic act of sacrificing himself for justice.

If they were faced with this choice, perhaps most people would not be able to willingly become the subject of living experiments for the future of mankind like Xie Qi did.

However, in stark contrast, Lu Ze remained silent from beginning to end. When Xie Qi recounted the entire incident, he said nothing.

Even after entering the base, Lu Ze had no intention of waiting for Xie Qi. After completing the task handover with Wu Lingzhou, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Seeing this situation, Lu Muyang and others were filled with worry. In fact, along the way, they knew what kind of feelings the captain had for Xie Qi, but no one had expected this situation now, so they could only follow the captain silently and leave.

Xie Qi looked at Lu Ze's obviously angry back, then turned to Wu Lingzhou and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Commander Wu. Forget about the accommodation, I have a place to stay. I will discuss the follow-up matters with you later. I have something else to do now."

Xie Qi turned around and followed Lu Ze until they reached the apartment assigned to them by the base.
